Herbie Hancock, North Sea Jazz Festival 11 July 2010

This is Herbie's opening number form his set at this year's festival. I filmed it on my new cheap-as-I-could-find point and shoot camera, so it was a bit of a trial. I think it's come out quite well and the sound, all things considered, is pretty good. I don't know the name of the song. Perhaps some one who knows Herbie's music better than me can tell me the name. The line up included Tal Wilkenfeld and Vinnie Colaiuta. Hope you enjoy.

Name of the song is Actual Proof, from his 1974 album Thrust. I had the good fortune of seeing this group (in it's quartet form, with Nathan East on bass) in Manchester in late 2006, awesome gig! I prefer the new lineup though, hopefully they'll hit the UK again at some point.

Thanks for that Paulo.

There is a great version of this tune by Tribal Tech here on youtube. Best, Sandemose

thanks for the post stru206. I saw the same lineup three weeks before in Montreal, I think it was the best one on this tour. Things just flow really well with Tal and Vinnie as Herbie's rhythm section, and he feels free to try some sh*t out

Thanks stru206. Good to see Herbie, Vinnie, and Tal, maintaining the quality on their European Tour.
