Geniouses. It never stops amazing me the clear sound John Patitucci has in the double bass, you can distinguish each and every note, something not very common on double bass jazz players.

This is some of the best post-bop trio playing out there. All these guys swing like crazy. Chick has such an identity with his jazz language and phrasing. He writes great tunes too! Humpty Dumpty is great for improvising on.

watch chick corea reaction to john pattitucci when he misses some notes on the melody at :47 sec.

I FUCKING LOVE JOHN'S DEEP WALKING HERE. TREMENDOUS RENDITION OF A MUSICAL CLASSIC!

This is absolutely incredible.

Sweet! One of my fave bop tunes! Thanks!

absolutely ferocious performance...!

Man, I love playing this tune.

Whew! Pattituci is powerful! As a bassist, I often wonder from where the inspiration for such performance comes, I guess it has to be a step beyond just making money, because I hear so many talented yet, uninspired palyers, wh seem only interested in making thesmselves seem more important than the music, or the listener! This, is polished glass smooth, with hint of a hammer, being swung around on a thin thread! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johns solo is fantastic! His technique is just unbelievable!

One of the ultimate straight ahead jazz tunes splendidly performed with virtuosity and musicality.The CCAB at its apex!

Chick Corea's bands are more about the other musicians in it than Chick himself. I love Jazz.

chick dave and john i love how synchronized all their mind are i'm so glad that i was born in this era and had a chance to glimpse their great performance jazz is so amazing

Imádom !25-éve hallgatom de még mindig KIRÁLY!!!!

i got into jazz back in 1976 and chick corea was the first i.ve ever heard. i now have his whole collection. also al dimola i know i spelled it wrong. .whatever. anyway. i have lenny white. and i don,t go anywhere without my stanley clark. thank you chick for such a collection of great music. my jazz inc, bryan k blackwell.

Chick’s comping behind the bass solo is sublime.

Masterpiece

What awesome musical interaction! Three titanic performers LISTENING profoundly to one another, resulting in the most pure and spontaneous artistic expression. Many thanks for posting this.

Excellent upload. Have never seen Chick performing this 'live' before but it has been one of my favorite tracks of his for years.

This sounds so great...

SICK !!!!

so so amazing & inspiring...my heart & ears are smitten

hell yea! nice to hear the new dave playing true contemporary jazz solos.

wow,one of my fav sounds of chick , its a great piece

Damn I was there! That show was Incredible! as you can tell.

here again the master chick corea acuostic band

I love this recording 👍

Brilliant! Thank you so much for uploading

Trying to come up with a way to compare this music to pop/commercial art forms, I thought of this possible example: the latter are like flying a single engine plane into a country airport; requires skill, practice and training, but isn't the paragon of flying. Corea's track, on the other hand, is like the Blue Angels: you gotta be able to fly at 300mph with wing tips barely touching and do ridiculously complex maneuvers - all the while knowing exactly where your mates are, or it's all over.

these are some of the most accomplished muthas on the planet. chick is a stone genius and dave weckl took drum technique to a whole new galaxy. and the bass player aint no slouch. neither

Man, it grooves so nice at this tempo. My drummer insists on playing this tune at at least 320 bpm, so I never get to relax.

Wonderfully amazing!!!

AAAAAAMAZING!! wow!

Jazz drummins rules.

WoW--- Patitucci is great.

What rock did you just crawl from under!!!! The guy has been playing like this for years!!!!

Replay... all day... replay... ay...

fantastick

Amazingly Sickning Great!

All those guys are jazz masters on their instruments and there is no better. It's all about the way of learning your ears to predict and ensure your taste of music and way of playing.

yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Dave Weckl is the man.

i totally agree

playing on this stage makes even a college aged kid like me at the time,,,,feel like it was Carnegie hall, this tune is in ''''' the worlds greatest fake book'''' sher music co,,

JAZZ IS ALL ABOUT TIME

haha thats the funniest thing i've seen all day!

Imádom,köszönet aki felrakta!

this is beautiful!!

Guacamole y salsa fusión Super nice music from another Galaxy.

wow !! thats true , I didnt notice that one...

@gwalkron Absolutely! So few people realize how incredible these guys are. Chick is the man. The source. The vision. And he knows how to surround himself with the right talent and then feeds off it. Notice how none of them break a sweat! To be free...

So I guess we've gotta be the ones to post the same cliche question seen on every incredible music video on KZfaq.... "Why o why doesn't this have 1 Billion views....?" Musically this is out of this world and demonstrates the highest level of musical conversation, rhythm, creativity, feel and emotion, imaginable. Smh. If we listened to great music like this on the regular instead of the __________ (insert B.S.) our minds would be so much more advanced. The world could be healed through music like this.

wow this is a great trio check also the same song but with vinnie colaiuta on drums is also a great one :)

Besides being a great compositionplayed by stellar artitsts, this is a music lesson!!

Oh my god, where'd you get this!? This is the best version of this tune I've ever heard!

Dave Weckl hihat works is amazing>

amazing

Love Pattitucci's quote at 4:14 and Chick's response right after. This tune is an absolute monster to improvise over since there's no II-V-I's to grab on to and most of the chords move parrallel

what better way to substruct your amusicality than with such a statement

that was nice to hear. wow

they're much more musical these years. still getting better.

there is a lot of harmonic and melodic displacement happening over the form too. Chick's lines start and stop wherever they need to - flowing over and starting before the cycle.

o melhor do jazz

MAGIC 100%%

My eyes and ears are missing Eric Marienthal on stage :/

Is it me or is Weckl not getting better and better with age!? I think that he is more and more natural sounding and although he always had perfect time and a great feel. His sound and feel gets more organic with age. At least,it seems that way to me. I still love his older videos. But the ones from 2000 with his band in some of it.... and the Jazz band(Wich I wish it had more, much more clips) That has some good drumming in it. I like his sound better too. He has more of an open sound with little muffling on the Bass drum n toms

Check out the live version from the Blue Note Japan

This bass solo!

Cool.

This is a great song, they play it just like on "the mad hatter", which is nice.

hey, the ten drummers is a nice dvd,, it reminds me of my last snow ski lesson, where the guy just says, hey watch me ski,, but it does give some great ideas,,lol, the improv book is '''the jazz solos of chick corea transcribed by peter sprague sher music co,, 1992''''', it is still on the web search engine

perfekt perfect perfekt perfait jus'qu'comme ci

AWESOME!!! however it sounds like jazz fusion ^^ i love this band. top notch!

one word.... interplay! wow... oh, that's two words.... nevermind :-) it doesn't get any better than this, that much is certain. unbelievable....

Király!

Man! That $#!^ swings!

@Coltranized The full album is on AzureBlooNote 's KZfaq channel.

Now, I just realized my mistake. That part of the melody is in the body of the tune, NOT the coda.

cool and hot!

Wow! Patitucci plays great. Connection to Miroslav Vitous great playing with Chick and Roy Haynes

The look on Pattitucci's face at 7:07 is priceless!!

i like how people talk mad shit about one another because they will never actually meet in real life... The whole ensemble is too killin.

as a jazz pianist, my idol is chick corea, and ive seen him many times. the best guess i can give is that its done with two hands...theres a video i recall where he did something similar and explained it called 10 little drummers lemme see if i can find it for you

seen him even on some big bands.

holy fak chick corea is one of the best ever

THE BASS OH GOD

Oh! Chick is Half beat early in themes by Airo Yokota

ON the Original Recording he Doesn't Play it Himself. But, I have noticed that he plays this Crazzziii fast compared to the Recording From the Mad Hatter Album

I don't know why everyone seems to be getting their panties in a bunch over someone's preference for a particular drummer. Personally I love Colaiuta's version of this tune with Chick and John. Overplaying? To some. I consider it improvisition of the highest form, the purest example of a drummer getting "inside" the musical piece, and an extreme musical honesty in his approach; an unadulerated genius at work. There, that's MY opinion and it was relatively painless in its delivery, eh? lol!

Cool, its on my AzureBlooNote channel if you want to listen to Humpty Dumpty or the whole "The Mad Hatter" CD.

thanks,,, i got the link message but not this one, funny how you tube works,,, i was not sure if the link message was on you tube or not,, a lot of two handed arpeggios are very difficult but after a lot practice become second nature, i bought a chick improv book years ago, and the guy just says chicks chromatic function, and it was the classic lick i wanted him to explain,lol,, i think i have seen chick four times, with strings, with gayle moran, stanley and al reunion,&electric

ya the coda is last time only type of thing. he does play it but the last time only

dream team

SHEESH!!

Don't get me wrong I love Weckl as much as the next drummer and he IS a master player but I prefer the "Live at the Blue Note Tokyo" version of this tune with Vinnie on the kit. So sweet.

When I get old, I wanna be a Jhon´s bass line

If you have the full version of "Spain" along with the "rehearsals" that Chick makes at first, please upload it dude! Thank you very much!

yes...& the drum solo sounds like a 'drumbeat'??!!

Always amazed at how Patitucci can sustain that loping, slightly-behind-the-beat quality even at up-tempo. There is no other bassist who can do this at quite the same level. Avery Sharpe comes close on some cuts with Tyner, but that's about it. "Icons" like Ron Carter just lose it completely at speed.

un sueño...
