Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Wallance Roney, Tony Williams/NY, USA 1992

A super powerful album that completely records the spectacular 2-hour live performance by Dream Band, who won two Grammy categories and was formed as an unprecedented tribute project to the kings Miles Davis and John Coltrane, who celebrated their 75th birthday. Appearing! ! ! As a tribute to Miles and Coltrane, eternal monsters who cannot be replaced in the jazz world, Michael Brecker, who was said to be Coltrane’s successor and surpassed Coltrane at the time, was invited by Herbie Hancock, the master who leads the modern jazz world. Young No.1 Roy Hargrove, who is a hot topic around the world as a trumpeter, and Wayne Shorter, an unwavering quartet, and John Patitucci and Brian Blade, who are sought after as the best jazz rhythm section, are the ideal lineup that can be expected in the jazz world. A completely new approach to classic songs by Miles and Coltrane. The amazing record that was revived, the overwhelming live performance at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee from the US tour that took place for 6 weeks starting in September 2001, was carefully recorded by the label from the recording master of the people involved. A 2-disc set of 2 hours of completely mastered high-quality stereo sound has arrived! ! ! This Directions is all about serious and modal acoustic jazz, with Michael, who has surpassed all possible tenor techniques, at the front, and the other members are among the best technicians of their time. All the members have assembled and put on a perfect performance with extremely high tension. From the opening song “Sorcerer”, you can hear a sound that is clearly different from V.S.O.P., and the performance is basically cool and the technique is the best. Basically the same song! ? ! After finishing the first half with “So What ~ Impressions”, the second half is one of the highlights of this Directions, Michael’s unaccompanied tenor solo “Naima” is amazing. On the way, he shows off his incredible technique of playing extremely difficult phrases at high speed without making any mistakes, such as a transcendental violin performance in a difficult classical piece, and it is an ultimate performance that can be declared that there is still no musician who can do this even today. Showcasing a superb play. In the following “Transition”, Michael and Harvey are both powerful, but Hargrove has amazing technique and explodes with a blow that rivals Freddie Hubbard. Harvey, who won the Grammy Best Instrumental Award, is on his own with Michael’s composition “My Ship” and other songs, all performed with outstanding technique and direct competition… Live at Westbury Music Fair Westbury, NY June 24.1992 EX-SBD 2019 Original Remaster 94 min Disc-1 1.
