There was a period in the first half of the 90s where straightahead/post-bop #jazz structures were married (successfully) to very vascular, propulsive rhythm sections, and this is no exception, from 1991:
Herbie Hancock: piano/keys
Wayne Shorter: saxophones
Stanley Clarke: bass
Omar Hakim: drums
@zeruch this was the period I was just getting into live jazz and lineups of this type were catnip for my ears - Crazy People Music era Branford Marsalis Quartet being my specific entry point. It felt very fresh but was clearly directly in the classic jazz lineage I was just learning to appreciate. This lineup holds up wonderfully well, but how could it not with that group of killers?
The Ted Greene Archives volunteers were able to clean up the audio on these amazing videos of Ted playing during his 1993 gig at the Seashell restaurant in Woodland Hills. I did see Ted once during that time, and it's great to have these videos of a master at work.

God Bless The Child by BS&T is a monster. The arrangement is pure genius. Killer horns, hip trumpet and sax solos. You may not have heard it in the last 40 or so years, so give it a spin. #Nowplaying#jazz#vinyl
