Jing Chi Robben Ford/CA,USA 2002

John McLaughlin of Jing Chi, the super trio known as the cream of the fusion world, consisting of Robben Ford, Jimmy Haslip, and Vinnie Colaiuta, who are highly respected by their colleagues in the talented L.A. fusion scene. Introducing the definitive edition of the early live performances in which Otomaro Louise, also known as the band, participated! ! The label’s original recording of the intense live performance at Yoshi’s in Auckland on December 11, 2002, in which Jin Chi welcomed super-skilled piano/keyboard player Otomaro Louise as a support member, has been mastered as a band recording. The definitive edition recorded in the highest quality stereo sound with careful mastering has arrived! ! Starting with the extravagant “The Hong Kong Incident,” a number with a blues feel, a powerful 4-beat song with a rock feel, a number featuring Ford’s vocals, and an encore of Ford’s love for Miles Davis. Throughout the entire performance, including “Code MD,” the group’s name, which means “spirit” in Chinese, was filled with vitality. Ford’s Les Paul, depending on the song, he switches to a Telecaster and sings freely, making the guitar growl, and the combination of Haslip’s heavy backing and solos with high-speed phrases, the bright bass, and Colaiuta’s extremely heavy drums that shake the earth is outstanding. Then, Otomaro, a Venezuelan treasure, is worthy of his name as a super-skilled player, with backing that knows the key points that fill the gap between the three members, and solos that play with a strong touch and overwhelming technique on both acoustic and electric instruments. The four members of Louise are performing an exciting stage full of tension and excitement throughout the movie! The solos of each member and the ensemble as a band are both exquisite and the cohesive band sound is really cool!
