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.

Now's not the place man..

@Gxyz222 Hubert is more Jazz than his Brother Ronnie Laws even though i do like his Pressure Sensitive lp

[Gxyz222]

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!

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

Definitely should be added to the favorites

Great, classic stuff and great players one and all!

My all time favourite Chick Corea composition.

@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.
