WOAH. That Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group category is amaaaaazing!.
Having had the pleasure of seeing Five Peace Band Live in March 2009 at Hamer Hall, it was with much happiness and relief that this album was made. The concert was simply out of this world (Andromeda perhaps?). Fancy being transfixed by two 'old' legends - Chick Corea & John McLaughlin - for three hours. These guys have a combined age of about 150 years, but with an energy level to put the rest of us to shame. The other members of the band (Christian McBride, Kenny Garrett and Vinnie Colaiuta - Brian Blade substituted for Colaiuta for the Australian leg of the tour and is not on the disk - pitty as I think he was the better player) were no less impressive, as the recording does attest. I do recommend this as a cornerstone of any jazz fusion collection. Best of luck with your nomination guys!
What a gig! Thanks Kent.
The Bright Mississippi is dare I say it for the genre- sexy!!!!!
