[TreyRoque]

Wow. The guys look soooo 80s, but Pat still looks just the same!

[Wittdobitt]

The MC Hammer reference is ridiculous. Hammer didn't come into the public eye until 2 years later (1990) The pants in the video have been worn on the African continent for centuries. Hammer didn't invent or popularize them.

[TreyRoque]

@Wittdobitt Yeah, and Pythagoras didn't invent that theorem, but the moniker stuck. Get a grip.

[noahbirdrevolution]

Jack has the coolest fromullet. Thanks for the cool vid.

[rcmonkeylove]

you people need to listen really and if you do there is no more...............

[progjazzfusion]

the sax guys solo styles sound like that new york late 80's / early 90's outside downtown style populat then, similar to what Steve Coleman (nyc) and Steve Washington (uk) were doing then, and probably others as well. It sounds distinctive as being weirdly "out" more than normal playing "out", if that makes any sense. I dont know if this style is still the hip kind of "out" style in nyc jazz circles now. the next batch of players probably moved on with their own "out" style different than this.

[pppbaldo]

the first time i heard this pat's solo i've think ''this don't have sense.

now i think is a really fantastic solo.

[bigwm]

Great video! I saw the comments about Jamie Foxx and Mel Gibson, how about Lonnie in the MC Hammer pants! lol I'll close my eyes and listen instead!

[metheny46]

thanks a lot for posting this wonderful vid . i owned the double cd and now have the long playing cassette . gres osby , gary thomas (with whom pat made the studio album "until we have faces") , lonnie plaxico on basses and of coarse the extrordinary jack dejohnette on drums and leading the AUDIO VISUALSCAPES band (sorry mick goodrick on guitar) i almost left you out . jack wrote the song for pat who did not appear on the studio recording . just wonderful . thanks again .

[Pettenderk]

Pants!!!!! those were the days.....

[Epiphoneplayah]

Is MC Hammer the bass player?

[wwwjscotecom]

Thanks a lot, I have an old VHS of this, taped off TV, but it's edited, omitting the sax solo, jump-cutting to Pat's stuff.

I saw that show, I remember it left my 18 year old self with a vicious headache but I liked it anyway!

polytonal music employs more than one tonal center simultaneously. So-called atonal music avoids tonal center altogether.

[onnomon]

Either polytonal, harmelodic, or they just learned the tune the previous night and are being thrown off by the changes, or, Dejohnette asked them to "go for the nuts";^)

Methany's lines are not too surprising if you've heard much of him before. I would say that's his "go for the nuts" mode.

[wanker6957]

every one in this performance knows this tune WELL. this is the classic Special Edition lineup from the late 80's and this tune appears on their Audio-Visual Scapes recording.

furthermore, nothing here sounds random, nuts, thrown off or otherwise. each player is playing about what you would expect based on their unique musical personalities.

there is nothing shocking here other than the excellent playing.

[onnomon]

What I mean about "going for the nuts" is not so much about what particular scales or notes and more about the musical energy to-be-conveyed. Metheny often uses his GR synth to deliver hail storms of such musical energy- this is what I refer to as going "for the nuts".

[iwanttowatchsomethin]

It's beyond passing tones. It is polytonal.

[GalacticWolf]

Frig, priddy stacked line up going on here.

[activesales]

Is this available on DVD?

[UncleGroOve]

LOL - do you know just how difficult it is to play that damn old Roland guitsynth?... The stuff he does is amazing considering the limits of that specific piece of equipmt. Just shows that tone ain't nothing if you don't nail them nice notes!!

jack dejohnette roxxxxxxxx

[fearthechin]

Synth guitar and lots of hair. Whats not to like? The funny thing about jack's shirt is i swear I have seen Bill Bruford wear the same type. Popular in the 80's maybe?

[PauloNideck]

OMG!!!!

Awesome to se this here!

[farley528]
