Live from Coconuts Glove 1990 Nice Slow Jazz. Written by Oliver Nelson. Guitar:Lee Ritenour Bass:Brian Bromberg Drums:Harvey Mason Piano:Alan Broadbent Saxophone:Ernie Watts
Superb peformance. Many, many thanks for posting. I've listened to the studio recording since its release in 1990. I was not aware that there was any video footage of the group playing live. It's absolutely fantastic to be able to put the images and sound together. The "Stolen Monemts" album remains a firm favourite of mine and for anyone interested in my point of view, includes a spellbinding version of "Hanted Heart" (as well as an introduction, for me, to the pianist Alan Broadbent).
Sounds fine, but note that in the sax solo, the images are of the any others musicians. What a crap of editing work. Obviously Ritenour signs the checks, not Watts.
I'm usually not a fan of Lee but I like his version of this piece. I hate Smooth Jazz but this piece has passion unlike most Smooth Jazz, which is not really Jazz at all...if you follow and respect the ever changing tradition. I just think the tradition goes wrong if the solos are all paint by number. This is slick but not drippy.
That did a great job playing this tune slowly like this, and still keeping it alive. All the players are so in the pocket, they could probably keep this thing alive at half or double the speed.
