Carole King was really at her best times back then. The best musicians you could imagine and the popular music was... real.. This is probably one of the best jazz videos on youtube. I love the 1st and beatiful solo of the sax guy but the second one is so undescribably GOOD!! The way he plays his tones with this amazing speed but still all the tones are chosen carefully and everything sounds just perfect. then he passes over to this god of a guitar player and gets back to the solo again. BEATIFUL

Its not Pure Jazz Rocos, its Rock Jazz, and it is good, if you want real jazz check out Grover Washington Jr, Nagee, Ronnie Laws, Walter Beesley. Greetings from Seattle, oh BTW, Karole King is the Queen of Rock and Roll

If today's youth had music similar to this instead of hip-hop/rap I think they'd be a happier group than they are.

The sound gear back then had way more warmth and distortion than it does today.The gear today cancels that out. Way to much digital also. The phrasing of the musicians was also different When you have studio musicians play live they always play as a unit and never against each other back then.Now you have everybody fighting for the same level Bands also used to record together.Now its every man for themselves.Sad but true.
