Lee Ritenour - Papa was a Rolling Stone
Guitar - Lee Ritenour +  Bass - Melvin Davis + Drums - Oscar Seaton + Trumpet - Chris Botti + Vocals - Kenya Hathaway & Grady Harrell (sp?) from Lee Ritenour's - DVD, 'Overtime'

A very particular live, in the round with friends, studio recording makes this video speak very grand. It Speaks of Jazz and R&R combined with the Trumpet genius Chris Botti of Sting fame in Italy.

 

Anthony Jackson bass 1990 
"Anthony Jackson shown here hanging with Airto, then video cuts to him laying down a fat intro for Flora Purim to setup the tune, "Nana". Flora Purim (vocal), Airto (percussion), Anthony Jackson (bass), Marvin 'Smitty' Smith (drums), Hilton Ruiz (piano), and the horn section of Phil Woods (alto sax), Bob Berg (tenor sax) and Art Farmer (trumpet). Bob Berg's tenor solo is great! 

 

 

chick corea, bob berg, steve gadd, eddie gomez in stuttgart '92
Straight ahead jazz at it's best! A fan of Steve Gadd can find his drumming superior with great solos by Bob Berg. Eddie Gomez is fantastic and Chick Corea's playing is tops.

 

Stanley Clarke and Steve Gadd
Two of my favorite musicians do a little jam in this video. What a famous and fabulous duo!
