[SuperFourth4]

so great !!!

Love the Arp Solina (strings) that Herbie lays down!!!

[boollib]

Thanks for sharing this one!

As far as I can hear instruments esp electric instruments back in the "early" day had much more distinction and individuality. A Rhodes, ARP strings, Moog all had very distinctive characters and you could hear this when like this video they are all showcased.

Todays electronics are all derivatives from the 1980s and sound for the most part all alike and are void of warmth!

This is an amazing video and a prize to showcase talent and technology of that era!

That bass-tone keyboard that Herbie Is playing with his right hand when Chick is on the clav and the rhodes; what is that?

[sethtriggs]

@phadamblab Looks like Herbie's playing an Arp Odyssey (which he used earlier to make that funky chirping effect during Chameleon.)

[sethtriggs]

@phadamblab Oh - you meant later in the video! that's his ARP2600 I think.

[phadamblab]

@sethtriggs I don't think he's using the arp for the bass notes, the arp is on the opposite side of the keyboard he's playing for just the bass. At 3:46 you can see Herbie playing it with his right hand. I'm assuming it's some kind of bass synth, maybe a bass rhodes?

@phadamblab its an Arp ProSoloist has a real nice bass sound on it. I have one.

[phadamblab]

@sethtriggs Oh awesome! Thanks man! I love that sound. I wish there was still music like this made today :/.

Funny rendition of the song... like this :)

[gasparsena]

just watched parts 1 through 6... that was really special. thanks whoever you are that put this up!

[DrClaw77]

It's so funny, that I can close my eyes and know exactly who's playing which part without even being able to see. This is a wondrous thing...

[webernation]

I really appreciate you posting this! Two of my major influences together! Wonderful!

[MrButtawitz]

too bad Jarrett couldn't be the third

[Ackamoracca]

@MrButtawitz Keith Jarrett? He hates electric instruments

[djmikenewman]

but he can do the best on piano ;)

Here's an idea: a movie should be made of the friendship, lives and career of these 2 guys...I'd definitely watch it. What a performance, astounding collaboration and so much emotion, genius and modesty from these 2 musicians...thanx so much for this
