| Review by Micah Newman |
| |
| "The V.S.O.P. Quintet is an all-star agglomeration of sorts of |
| 60's Blue Note jazz greats; think Miles Davis' 60's quintet with |
| Freddie Hubbard on trumpet instead of Miles, OR the band that |
| recorded Wayne Shorter's phenomenal _Speak No Evil_ with Tony |
| Williams! as the drummer instead of Elvin Jones, OR the band that |
| recorded _Maiden Voyage_ with Wayne Shorter on tenor instead of |
| George Coleman. This band played in the late 70's, mostly in Japan |
| it seems, as by that time acoustic jazz was completely passe in |
| America (and not old enough yet to be retro), whereas it was huge |
| in Japan. |
| |
| This hard-to-find live recording (hope you see it up there under |
| "Used and New"!) showcases the Quintet live in Tokyo in 1979. |
| Compositions by all five members (Hancock, Shorter, Hubbard, |
| Carter, and Williams) are featured on this disc, many of them |
| unavailable elsewhere, to my knowledge. It's a terrific |
| performance (although the twangy, nasal bass sound that was so |
| typical of the period is unfortunate), and fun to listen to. |
| |
| One of the most exciting things about this performance is actually |
| the audience! The liner notes go on and on about how much and |
| endlessly it rained that night, and how in this outdoor |
| performance how wet everything and everybody got, and this |
| audience is certainly hardcore to be out there, mostly without |
| umbrellas or rain gear. They cheer this band on like rock stars, |
| and it's really heart-warming. Incredibly responsive to the |
| Quintet's every move, a signature moment is in "Fragile", when |
| Tony Williams begins the song with a series of cymbal crashes, and |
| the crowd lets up a rousing cheer between each one. Hard to |
| believe Herbie Hancock did his disco album the same year as this." |
