Herbie Hancock Quintet - Seventeen - Live

Composed by Lionel Loueke, Seventeen is a 17/4 beat piece, which is where the name comes from.
Herbie said that Lionel suggested to play it with the band 3 years ago. When Herbie tried to play it for the first time, he gave up after a couple of minutes, because, he says, it was too hard to play.
Herbie had been refusing to play it for 2.5 years and only recently started performing it on stage.

North Sea Jazz Festival - 2008
Chris Potter (sax); Lionel Loueke (guitar); Herbie Hancock (piano); Dave Holland (bass); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums).

I love this song! This is a great take; richer than the take on Lionel's album karibu (Herbie played the song on the album too) great sax solo too..but I can attest to the fact that there nothing simply more delightful and mind blowing than hearing lionel's trio (with Massimo Biolcati on bass and Ferenc Nemeth on drums) play this live..it is simply out of this world!

I love this song. I saw Herbie Hancock Sextet (Herbie Hancock piano, synth, Terance Blanchard, trumpet, Gregoire Marét, harmonica, Lionel Loueke, guitar, James Genus, bass, Kendrick Scott, drums) and they played Seventeens in 1 hour. And it is so cool!

Grande Herbie! has aprendido de Miles esa

capacidad para aglutinar talentos que comulgan

con tu lenguaje y es un placer ver una sección

rítmica´magistral con Vinnie y Dave cabalgando

en el tempo ( sonido Gretch )Chris dibujando

melodías y temperamento con el soporte armónico y experimental del eterno Hancock.

Buena banda empatía y reconocimiento.Gracias
