I had the dvd of this concert when I was a kid, it is one of my first love with jazz, even today after few decades , it still magical to see Stanley and his team mates, thank you for thr MUSIC maestros🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jesus. The pocket of these guys is like a mile deep. This is some superb, extra ultra good jazz. Stanley is way ahead of most guitarists, but all the other three are also fantastic. I haven't listened to Kirkland much but this performance is simply genius. The bassist is killing it.
I have listened to this performance off Cornucopia more times than I can count. Seeing it here with the video is something else. Thanks for posting this!
Charnett Moffett. I hope I spelled that right. He absolutely destroys every song he plays on. Amazing bassist and awesome you noticed him during Stanley ripping it.
What a super band, this is why I love live performances.I like the way Stanley sounds with& without a keyboard player.All those musical voices were perfect in their dimension.The 1st time I heard Stanley live ( in the 1980's)he played solo,what a treat to hear him work with other jazz greats.
When I was teen I saw a video of him on PBS around 96' and have ALWAYS thought it was a shame more people didn't know about him. For years after that I would bring him up to every guitar player I talked to and nobody knew what I was talking about.
Oh snap! That's Rhythm Jones, the drummer in Bleek Gilliam's quintet! OK, I know it's the incomparable Jeff "Tain" Watts, who I had the pleasure of interviewing for a jazz publication a few years back.
And rock players think Eddie van Halen was good. Not even close, his playing was all over the place. Here is a master. Stanley knows rhythm, melody and harmony
