The music is just pouring out here.  Masters of their instruments all, so open to each other and of the moment. Must have been a thrill and a gas for them too. Thanks for posting this rarity.

There is no one that can touch "Blood" he's in a different class, just awesome.

Wow! I was in the audience at this gig. They also played a few times at Sweet Basil. Blood is TOTALLY swinging in this setting, in his own unique way. This was by far my favorite context for Blood, but to my knowledge they never recorded together. Thanks for putting up this video. Brings back great memories!

I totaly agree. I would have died to go see this in person.
