You're welcome. My pleasure!

Brecker is like DAMN! Everywhere, in every song, but here Stern... Can't explain, just feel it.

Clearly superior; his tone is his masterpiece, his playing, just beautiful.

[rieske2000]

Oh man, thanks. This is THE version of this song. The interaction with Dave Weckl is so good!!!

[sloopjohnk]

Wow! Extraordinary stuff from Mike S.

James G ain't bad either. ;=)

Thank you for this!

Theres another amazing version of this song.... Brecker Brothers from "New Port Jazz Fest" '93... I can't find it anywhere...

I actually like the grove that Weckl laid down starting at 2:13 on. At that point, he should have been syncopated as he played. But when he did that earlier, her overshadowed the superlative solo of Stern and that wasn't artistically helpful. But later on in the tune, he implemented the appropriate groove. No disrespect to Weckl, who is an outstanding drummer, but sometimes less is better.

[brookelyn7714]

Weckl needed to lay off the fills and just lay down a nice rhythm track while he let Stern shine. Weckl's way too busy!!!!!!

[brookelyn7714]

@Samolamo No. I"ve actually been looking for the version with Chambers playing too, but they only made it on VHS and it's rare to find. But I agree with you. Weckl is a good solo drummer and he's real good at fusion but Chambers had a much better feel in this song when he played with Stern and the Breckers. Weckl is so choppy and syncopated in his drumming that he just didn't carry the smoothe rhythmic feeling that Chambers communicated when he played.

Agreed. I saw this concert with Weckl and Chambers. Both amazing obviously but I liked Chambersa little better in this situation. Again Weckl is a monster and I don't mean any dissrespect at all to an amazing musician like him.

[Samolamo]

Does anyone know where I can get this concert on DVD with Chambers playing?

[Lipshammusicrecords]

I very much enjoy Weckl's playing, but here, as with other Brecker Brothers tracks from the '92 tour, he is, in my opinion, FAR too busy; especially in the early part of Stern's solo. Chambers, for me nails it and gives it acres of space to breath. Weckl is a far more musical drummer now, I think. I am a drummer, with 30+ years of playing experience, by the way, not some arm-chair numpty.
