My favorite thing about this clip isn't the playing, but instead the late beautiful precious masterpiece of an African American gentleman in the plaid shirt.
I posted this video over on a new thread I created, but this lovely lady is an accomplished flautist and dancer. Here is her take on the Celine Dion hit "My Heart Will Go On"
And now something for the fusion heads out there. This is Mike Mainieri's group "Steps Ahead", the tune is "Well In That Case" and the personnel include:
Mike Mainieri-Vibes, keyboards, percussion
Rachel Z (Nicolazzo) Hakim-Keyboards
Jimi Brunell-Guitar
Bendik-Reeds
Jeff Andrews-Bass
Steve Smith-Drums
Steve Smith you say? You mean Journey's drummer from their heyday, THAT Steve Smith? Yessirreebob, THAT Steve Smith.
OK for all you Carlos Santana fans out there, I present Vital Information's rendition of the Tom Coster (KB) tune "Europa, Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile"
And yes, that is Steve Smith on drums, Jeff Andrews on bass, Tom Coster on keys and Frank Gambale on guitar.
