That's for me is the radical evolution of jazz rock after the "Weather Report Era".

Isn't it?

On all these comments there is something missing. Why has no one mentioned the beautiful melodies that come out of Russ Ferrante? Improve is cool, but there has to be an incredible melody. Russ has composed some of the most beautiful melodies I have heard since of Chopin. For me, music is all about the melody.

@grisznik Is improvisation the ability to create a melody on the spot? For instance, Russel Ferrante's solo isn't as melodic as Bob's. It's still a great melody to listen to. And Bob's improvised solo is incredibly melodic. Some of it was taken right from the original recording, but I mean, the other is improved and it sounds amazing. It's a phenomenal solo with a great melody. So even as a melody lover, I love improv, because to me, it's the next stop of creating a great melody.

I saw them listening to "punta del este" from Astor Piazzolla.
