  • This entire album needs to be made available via iTunes....

  • Chick Corea is a BLOODY genius! The music just flows and flows from him like a .............?

  • Didn't they do this gig with no rehearsal?

  • That's not a cigarette, it's a doobie.

  • I love their smiling faces. Their's like "I love to be so fucking incredible"

  • Where did these videos come from?  I would love to get this DVD.

  • 0.28......

    The click of Vinnie's lighter. Unscored too.

  • definitely not MY prefered rhodes settings!! but i love these guys so much though!

  • I saw Vinnie with Sting in 93 and he smoked the whole night. It's kinda gross to me but I used to smoke and never did when I played. I think part of it was he is Vinnie and can do whatever he wants. It still doesn't make it cool.

  • Yes. The music is excellent, and that's why we're all here. But the cigarette smoking is an interesting enough element in the video to warrant discussion. Vinnie's drumming is scarcely paralleled, and his cigarette chops are sublime!

  • jazz cigarette!

  • Vinnie Colaiuta is the bad-ass!!! WONDERFUL AMAZING! 4:46 classic

  • check out what vinnie does at around 4:40, and if you're a drummer try to not proceed to kill yourself.

  • i kept on finding john petrucci till i realized it was" Patitucci"....

  • w italy corea ,patitucci ,colaiuta

  • you guys are able to watch one of the most stunning music scenes ever happened and argue about smoking. thats not cool, wheter smoker or not.

  • megamazing!

  • Miles Davis once said that you can tell a player by the way he holds his insturment...check out all the videos of John Patitucci...he holds that up right like it's Eva Mendez

  • @1hipgig vinnie always looks like hes watching football

  • you guys are looking WAY more than you are listening. people are gonna smoke, shit happens

  • All three so in the zone on this tune - Listen to Chick and Vinnie play off each other, crazy! all with a groove. Vinned doesn't need the cigarette to smoke!

  • I hope he doesnt smoke anymore, its terrible.

  • Vinnie is the man. Dave Weckl bugged me a bit although he is out there technically.

  • Great.

    It has a lot of vitality and soul, unless almost contemporary jazz.

  • DANG VINNIE . That seriously keeps me in shock. This one of the best I've seen .

  • @Coltranized well I like the new arrangement more, because that's what I play almost everyday on my piano :P

  • Yeah! I saw your vid. I like that version too!

  • try watch v=0fuHZ4gueUE (spain, played by SergeForte and his band)

  • or Spain by Chick Corea Akoustic Band in Rendezvous in New York

    part I: v=cGqc7WxYSCM

    part II: v=uCGQv2QybQw

  • aw, not the new arrangement :(

  • @r3ck0rd Better!

  • what ethnic background is corea?

  • Sicilian and Spanish I believe.

  • @samm1809 Spanish. I think.

  • AMAZING!!!

    Have ever been issued on DVD or CD this record?

  • @boogster123321 There was a trend in Rhodes sounds as well...Even though it's again very popular nowadays, it was pretty much non-existent in the early 90's (in the 80's it transformed into that Yamaha DX7 "ep" you heard everywhere). What Corea is playing here looks like a Rhodes Mark IV or V, both of which have this very bright sound to them. This bright sound was also called the "Dyno Rhodes". He seems to have a bit of Chorus on it as well.

  • Nice playing.....As good as it gets......

  • Amazing.

  • Bravo!

  • you know i like the sound of that rhodes but for me it doesnt compare to the one on light as a feather but this version is killer

  • i agree. i think that maybe, (correct me if im wrong) this was recorded in that era where keyboard manufacturers where more preoccupied with making synthesizers, and as a result, made the other new keyboards sound a little more synthetic.

  • and i boy i hate that era of keyboards, synths are awesome but when you combine them with like a standard yamaha keyboard it sounds really bad.

  • Comment removed

  • 2:30=sweet groove sets in. but crazy grooving through the rest of the piece. amazing!

  • harmonically insane...technically even more so. jazz music continues to move forward, even today, because of these players.

  • Great vibes...

  • so awesome... but the rhodes is a little too sesame street for me

  • sesame street is cool ;)

  • jaja

  • Vinnie definitley makes smoking look cool

  • ahaha fuck yea!!!!

  • @TheRealManzilla I have scary news for you: smokers also die everyday and have additional risk dying on smoker specific desease ;-)

    smoking is ugly ;-) haha

  • I love hearing this stuff with Vinnie, although Weckl has a lot more feel and musicality these days, back then he was so robotic, Vinnie always gave the band more...period.

  • simply amazing.

  • this is my ALL TIME favourite jazz trio. end of story. they are too good

  • musical phrase from 6:00- 6:10 blew my mind

  • the typos has ksefygei-ed

  • Can even talk japanese with his keyboard!

  • Oh Lord!

  • Vinnie is soooo smoooooth - looks like and idot with the cigarette but I think he is more musical than Weckl.

  • Definitely more musical than Weckl.

  • No way. 10 years ago, maybe. Weckl would give Vinnie a thrashing over practically any Latin groove nowadays.

  • "1992". . . rethink. . .

  • Definitely more smoker than Weckl.

  • definitely looks like a classic badass with that cigarette hanging out.

    don't smoke kids.

    i have scary news though for non-smokers...... non-smokers die everyday

  • lol 9 in 10 deaths are of non smokers- only 1 in 10 people smoke around the world- start smoking today...........

  • hahahahaha oh shit thats was funny..... non-smokers die everyday. that made half of my day.

  • @haolekillah non smokers die comfortably in their beds while sleeping, smokers die painfully in hospitals.

  • @DyingSID666 wow thats extremely naive. non-smokers get in car accident, get eatin by bears (because smokers dont go on hikes, they probably wont be eaten by wildlife) non-smokers fall off cliffs, get shot, develop a disease, etc....

    see? anything can happen to anybody.

  • @haolekillah yeah maybe they do, but for sure not by smoking ;-)

  • @apelsinljuice You know what doctors say? "If only you smoked, we'd have the technology to help you."

  • @haolekillah Bill Hicks!

  • @haolekillah True but they don't smell like ass either.

  • @haolekillah Hahaha Bill Hicks Quote!

  • @haolekillah ... from second-hand smoking! :p haha

  • This is amazing!!!!!!

  • even though the things, did not become as it hoped, seems to me that it was well, they are great musicians and that is what matters, others is without importance!

  • 15 years ago. Chick looked so thin. This trio is three of my favorites. Wonderful to get to see them play like this.

  • Never saw chick in a pyjama before. ;-)

  • Vinnie is amazing!

  • Awesome. It sounds like the piano is talking.

  • Actually, Chick started to play the last section of the tune instead of going on, as they did after he caught himself. An honest mistake that was readily fixed.

  • I just LOVE watching John play.

    the way he communicates through his bass and grooves with vinnie and chick makes this trio one of the best i've yet to hear!

  • Haha Vinnie is just chillin smokin a cig. That's funny and badass at the same time

  • Really, thank u sooo much 4 postin`..

    Contemporary Classical Music...

    New Generations, learn.

    Cheers everyone, from Venezuela

  • My man Vinnie is smokin a cig while he's playing like it's nothing. lol. Straight up these cats are killing

  • Incredible! After playing "Spain" (his composition) more than ten thousand times, Chick forgets the changes at 3:26!

  • he can do whatever he wants

  • So said Nixon to himself. This is not the point, dude! The point is: shit happens!

  • perovaas, No, he didn't forget them at all. It's called alternate chord changes and he wanted to be a little bit hip and go "outside" at 3:26. It's also called "artistic license". He wrote the tune, he can alter it any way he wants. Oh yeah, it's also called the art of improvisation...better known as JAZZ. I thought it was very cool.

  • dotadee: I have been dealing with alternate chord changes, inverted chords, outside chord progressions, modes, etc., all my musical life. That was NOT any of that - or even artistic license. Just take a look at the face that JP makes while Chick goes here to the head and he goes there, to the first chord of the second part. An to the face that Chick makes, in reply, as saying "I screwed it up!". HOWEVER: if YOU liked it that's what matters for you.

  • Guess what pero? That "mistake (as you call it) worked! And yes, I do like it.

    However, if you would like to call the Jazz Police,

    their phone number is FLA-T911

  • dotadee: I just made a comment. I like Chick, and I like mistakes. I smiled at the one Chick made. And that is all it is to it. About the jazz police: I don't take that. Rgds.

  • The jazz police is an old joke...call flat 9/11. Surprised you never heard that one.

    The "eyebrow thing" Chick does and the look JP gives him...was more like a "Check THAT out" look.

    So WHAT? It's all good.

  • Oh! I'm too young for that. Sorry, dotadee. Anyhow, it is good to see some improv - be it good or bad. Live music is risktaking. And that's what counts.

  • FLA-T911

    I lolled

  • Agreed, we can see that he just forgot to play the right sequence, we can see in John's face because he started the V chord to go to next one, and then had to go back and follow Corea. We can see they played one bar more after that. But that's OK, that's funny actually !!

  • wow,you know everything about everything!thanks for showing us that!!!!!!!!!!

  • ha ha funny

  • Comment removed

  • I just love this music so much!! bellissimo!!

  • Dang, he took out the Mark V yikes!

  • I bought the dvd from montreux in 2004 and now I want more!! Is there a dvd where this footage belongs to?

    I love this version so much.

  • they are really enjoying that gig, you can see it in their faces and the way they're playing. brilliant;)

  • Is it from a dvd ?? The quality is great !! thans for posting it

  • Amazing playing, but what a lame ending!

  • ahah 3 americani ma di origine italiana! =)

  • Tienes razon amigo en el min 5:00 arrastra la nota, pero suena super bien, raro pero se mezcla muy bien con los demas instrumentos.

    Chick Corea rules !!!

  • chick corea is insane.literally insane because he is into that nutty scientology cult

  • ahhh lol i thought that was John PETRUCCI

    hah xD

  • noggas

  • exelente esa si es calidad

  • vip

  • hombre muchas gracias por la aclaracion....definitivamente esos manes son unos tesos....

  • es una version muy interesante.....pero el contrabajo suena un poco raro....no es color usual del contrabajo....

  • no es que suene raro, patitucci lo tocaba asi aposta, fijate por el minuto cinco va arrastrando el tono, y ace que suene raro, si suena raro, es imnovacion, y ellos inventaron jaja, un saludo amigo.

  • I love how the song builds up until it gets to the classic "spain" melody.Great perfomance

  • Vinnie rules !!! Thanx from Colombia

  • Gosh, from the symbal clash at ~5:29 till 5:45 I always get a surge of 10,000 volts of pure awesome.

  • thanks for the second-hand smoke Vinnie. You smoke enough on the drums! Someday, i'll play like Vinnie...or not.

  • Fag is English for cigarette.

  • very technical playing.. superb to perfection... vinnie is really feeling it..

    Like them!

  • Vinnie Colaiuta is absolutely ridiculous

    as a drummer he makes me look like shit on the ground

    i can only dream to be as good as he is

  • So soothing to my soul.

  • lets all just enjoy the vid....:)

  • so nice, damnnn. glad to hear this music monsters.

  • The talent on this cut is insane...

  • of course the drummer paid total respect MUSICALLY as evidenced by his playing, all while getting a few puffs in. this was back in the day when he was a smoker.

  • right!

  • That drummer is vinnie "the god" colaiuta and he would poon you , you little fag

  • He is up there among with the best I have worked with and have rolled BJJ with. He's great at that too.

  • ``the drummmer´´..? .. Just like that ... ``A drummer´´...? ... Do you have any fucking idea about who's that ``drummer´´???!!! ... Even Mr. Corea owes respect to that monster of drums ... The best drummer in every fucking style in the world... there's no a single rhythm he couldn't play ... So you must know before you talk... and by the way, there's no disrespect on playing with a cigarette on the lips... ASSHOLE!!!

  • How it could be possible that someone that hired Vinnie Colaiuta to play in his/her wedding could just call him ´´the drummer´´?... How it's possible that someone that does that could get married?... I just don't get it...

  • I have the same respect for him as you do. I understand how accomplished he is and I had no intension to discredit anyone's hero.

  • Jajajajajajaja... Right... Leave it that way...

  • Well well, please let me know your telephone number.

    Next time I want to see a very good drummer I will call you.

  • Mr.Patitucci's instrument possesses a voice.

  • vinnie is so bad ass!

  • I love sooo much with this version. One of the best Spain version I've ever heard

  • to the man who posted this. thanks what is the name of the video? is it on dvd?

  • just great!!! vinnie is the man just love this video

  • This version sound like a Latino/Español emigrant to USA,others like Mediterranean/Cuban .....all are great Corea's mood and think that was his intention.I really love all this tunes.

  • Patitucci is having too much fun!

    Vinnie is just SICK!!!

    Chick is just taking it all in.

  • Patitucci + Colaiuta = unrivaled rhythm section.

  • haha :D lol the drummer is smoking at the same time! Great work though... I simply love this tune

  • unbelievably great performance.. corea is not playing.. he's speaking..

  • that has so much energy, i feel like i have to leave the room

    that is just locked in...

  • I wasn't in to that version that much. I'm a huge vinnie fan, love chic and pattatucci......but that wasn't the best performance from them at all, kinda just ok to me. Yeah I'm so American Idol,lol

  • I did'nt know there was a 'Blue Note Tokyo' in Spain.... hmmm go figure!

  • What lead you to conclude there was a Blue Note in "spain"?

  • lol =O

  • lol dumbass

  • Man...!!!! That´s Spain!!!!! Just awesome!!!! They never play the hook, but it´s so great. I don´t like chick´s attitude to religion, but the way he is playing here is soooo wonderful. And Vinnie is the Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vinnieeeeee!!!!!

  • Man...!!!! That´s Spain!!!!! Just awesome!!!! They never play the hook, but it´s so great. I don´t like chick´s attitude to religion, but the way he is playing here is soooo wonderful. And Vinnie is the Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vinnieeeeee!!!!!

  • fuck i really can't believe the quality :P they all play it so naturally! Imagine doing this every night...crazy

  • that´s the best version of Spain that I´ve ever heard. perhaps that´s because of Vinnie´s uncompromising drumming!

  • Shit........ This is Sick

  • this is a great video...is it available for purchase anywhere? thanks

  • Haha, It's so jazzy with a drummer that smokes. ;) Very special version. It sounds much better than the one with Dave Weckl... I think.

  • colauita.. en verdad tu y tus socios son extraterrestres , jhon y corea paracen de otro planeta.. que fabulosa interpretacion y que nivel

  • Amazing version, may be the best ever - Colaiuta plays and smokes :)))) TOO EASY FOR HIM......:((((

  • Did you ever hear the "sushi story" told by Steve Vai about Colaiuta?
