@unscrupulousrane07 That's because it isn't purely pentatonic. He's adding every other note and playing modally, which is what sets him appart.

isn't that a ginantonic scale?

a lot of people in america talking through the whole show.derek should do more shows in europe.this audience is more jazz-oriented.It is a pity if people gossip all the time.in Derek's music should listen to.he is soooo great!

@cm0220ster Totally. I love seeing Jazz shows, or shows in Jazz venues or with Jazz audiences, for this very reason. The silence allows everyone to hear, but it also allows for quieter playing (more mellow and introspective parts), which I'm a big fan of.
The other thing I like, at Jazz shows, is the respect for the soloists. Someone finishes a solo, or plays a good run, and people clap. No need to wait for the end of the song. :)

@samjonathanjowett At a real jazz show show the audience would be dead quiet for this. Sign of respect for the music you know.

@REDHAIREDMONSTER I agree. WHat I do believe that I don't hear people mention much is that McCoy Tyner gets about as much solo space and just kills on that song as well. Derek's new (ish) live album has a killer version of Afro Blue as well. For the record there is a Gov't Mule live track that has both him and Warren on it. And if I could take a second and plug their friend Jimmy Herrings Lifeboat album, it's a must hear especially if you like instrumental jams like this.

Yeah, but the thing is, Derek makes those simple pentatonic patterns sound insane.
