Hm...do I put my trombone down or do I quit school and job to practice???? This what I think everytime I watch this vid. And Benson makes me hate every other floutist I've ever heard, save Bohnet from Mythril. lol
@8art He has changed so much over the years. Make sure to check out his current stuff now, as well as his stuff from the Manhattan Wildlife Refuge years. Both are excellent.
I'd forgotten about Bill Watrous, caught the Space Available post early this evening and have been watching Watrous vids all night. Man he makes it look easy. Youtube is a musician's dream come true.
great, thx very much for posting! saturday morning music for sure back in the 70's. great way to start the day! then of course end the day with some Miles from Bitches Brew or other.
Bill makes it look so effortless it almost looks like a guy who is faking playing the trombone. His chops look the same whether he is playing a high F of one in the staff.
the reward for playing jazz is jazz...this is not a competition, but I see your point that todays "smooth jazz" is soul less and vapid compared to this
I'd forgotten how insane George Benson was in his prime. It was nothing to him also, he simply thought it, and it came out the end of the horn as perfect as a newborn. A-frickin-mazing.
Incredible!!!!! A set of masterminds coming together in one band. Stanley Clarke is still one of the coldest upright players to ever lays hands on the instrument. Fucking amazing performance. Everybody was awesome.
Love it when Chick (lipcurl) rips into the moog. I got a DVD of this a few years back. Watched it 20 or so times. Stellar line-up. At the end of my DVD it started to go into the 1976 awards show. I was devastated when it faded to black minutes later. Anybody got it?
Holy Crap. I have the horn Bill plays (Bach 16-M) but mine must defective, it doesn't play as high and fast and clean as his does. Allways blame the equipment.
Of course King Hubert is amazing.... however, my heart stays with the original Joe Farrell flute solo, only b/c he wrote that classic solo...a must for all jazzers... and I agree Airto ruled also... So, far it's been 30 friggin years, and no one has come close to these guys!
We need to start an advocacy group.... "People for the prevalence of Spain".... Ban all other charts and all bands in all genre must only play Spain and variations on the theme :-D

I wouldn't say wynton killed jazz. Thats a little harsh. Too fucking harsh. I would more on the likes say what many of these so called jazz players are doing these days is hurting jazz today a lot. Plus if you think someone is doing something that's killing off jazz then maybe you should speak out. I have followed wynton since I was like 13. I'm 24 now and he is still one of the best ever and alive. Wha gets me is why you say wynton, and why not chris botti?
@cccc109 The problem is that Wynton views any developments post 1970 as being completely musically worthless.

i'm countin' em... lenny, stanley, chick, alright this is return to forever right? :)
watrous (awesome), benson (the real one)and laws (my idol on flute)add something magical. i mean this is an extreme dream team! thank you sooo much for this marvellous post, didn't even dream of seeing such a thing. you see, i was born in 1978... damnnn. a bientot pour d'auters post comme celui-ci j'espère! peace from paris

Great great post - what a band! I'm no "bone" player but that has to be about the best trombone solo I've ever heard. Benson does fine job, too, interesting how he always gets his trademark tone regardless of what guitar, whether playing on that gorgeous vintage D'Angelico here or his later plywood Ibanez GB models.
You should try to get a hold of Watrous' recording of Spain with his band. I think on the album of the same name. Totally unreal... one of my favorite recordings, ever.
Hubert plays so relaxed. His hands are amazing, and his sound is great - a great student of Julius Baker.
Don't forget that this is no random "Down Beat" jam session. Chick was in Hubert's band and plays on Hubert's first record as a leader, "Laws of Jazz." Armando Corea he was.

I saw this program my first('75 or'76)year in college and the intensity grew with each tune. A surprise was George could hang on 'Spain", but he was the best on the planet! I lived in Pittsburgh where he is from, a friend of mine gave me a cd of his 'It's Uptown' from 1966 and he was killin' back then!
¡Qué temazo!Thanks for posting. I love this song in all its rempditions, few compositions are so inspirating I think. And now I just know two "new" (to me) fabulous musicians, Hubert Laws and Bill Watrous, thanks
Jeez man, ive not heard much of George Benson, but ive never heard him shred like that! What an amazing group. Chick Corea always has the best musicians with him!
Some people listen to stations like the Wave and think they are listening to jazz, well they really need to check out his clip so they can see the roots of smooth jazz
chill willjohnsonmusic............ do simply said idiot.......... maybe he forget bout theory.......... hehhehhee... but chick corea....... nice show....... lallalaa
"IDIOT......" ?? Thats a bit unnecessarily harsh isn't it ?? It's a real shame you feel the need to be so aggressive. It is only supposed to be a sharing of light hearted friendly banter / observations between members of this community.
i meant the Lydian scale with it's 5th degree 'raised'. Or Lydian Augmented, or (as i said) Lydian sharp five (#5). (ie. 3rd mode of the melodic minor.)
This is the only version i have heard of 'Spain' where they omit the interludes between solos. i assume this was due to air time restrictions. I dont mind admitting it got me first time round as i thought the trombone (Bob) had come in early. Its always nice to get caught out now and again !!
Our marching band is playing this, this year and I have the trombone solo. This is an awesome song especially with my band teacher's idol on trombone.
WOW!! Awesome..really!! Watrous, Corea..Clarke!! Watrous is awesome obviously, and Clarke is my fave bass player ever! Great! Cheers for showing this!!
Hubert Laws is definitely the best jazz flautist ever, first time I've ever heard of him was through Bob James's "Touch Down" album!

Thanks for posting this...it's great to see George Benson during this time period. Had to laugh at how he turned up the volume at the end!
