Marc was just a technical master. It's common to see these technical jazz players come along (like Arturo and Jaco dare I say) and watch them destroy the rich history of swing, but Marc Johnson (heavily influence by Scotty) really set the bar high for technical, yet very tasty, improvisation on the jazz bass.
Masterful construction of both Piano and Bass solos. Spontaneous improvisation at its best by master improvisors. Long Live improvisation. Jazz will never die.
Wow. That is the best I've heard Marc Johnson. What a creative and masterful solo. He's been my favorite for the past few years. This just affirms how great his intonation, technique, and creativity are.

Sweetest version of the sweetest tune. Momentary. Deep.

The Master at the peak of his powers. Without doubt the greatest jazz pianist ever. Even Art Tatum would have stood up and said "God is in the room".
The best trio since LaFaro and Motian. Any Evans fan should have this DVD in their collection.

Amazing. Bill Evans played beautifully through more pain than most of us will ever know. A true master.
