Down Beat 1975 poll-winners' show: 'Spain'
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- A performance of Chick Corea's classic composition 'Spain' from the 1975 'Down Beat' poll-winners' concert.
Chick Corea - keys
Hubert Laws - flute
Bill Watrous - trombone
George Benson - guitar
Stanley Clarke - bass
Lenny White - drums
Introduced by Quincy Jones.
This performance (and the whole poll-winners' show) was produced by WTTW Chicacgo and distributed by PBS I believe. To the best of my research, this footage has never been commerically available to the general public in any home format. It's been circulating in bootleg trading circles for some years, where I obtained it. I'm sure many of us would love to have a proper DVD of these Soundstage shows! I will happily remove it at the request of the musicians or the copyright holders.

I never imagined Luke Skywalker was so talented with the trombone
That prosphetic hand is pretty advanced...
he was using the force.
Great. HUBERT. I Want to meet You.
Are we not even gonna talk about Lando on flute I mean come on
I realize I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released movies online?
RIP CHICK COREA ABSOLUTE LEGEND !!!
All these awesome musicians at once! This is great! George Benson still tears up the house with those mad guitar skills!
Hubert Laws is the greatest flute player in the world! Jazz or Classical! I'm quoting the great Quincy Jones, from Quincy's autobiography. Hubert Laws is! And still is! My wife and I just heard him live in Chicago March 14th, 2019 at the Studebaker Theatre downtown. Hubert was amazing! Thank you So much for posting!
Yeah, had all his albums. Great player. Have you heard Sarpay play Spain? An amazing flute player too .
Everyone that soloed on this revision of spain was arguably the best jazz (insert instrument here)-ist ever.
George Master Benson
Watrous' solo here is incredible- possibly my favourite solo to Spain I've ever heard (I'm a guitarist and Benson is my one of my favourite guitarists).
I can't get enough of this classic song.
Check out Larry Coryell’s solo version (though double-tracked in the studio)
Rest in Peace, Bill Watrous :(
I love the chemistry
My favorite live version of this song...
A truly amazing performance, especially for that time, but now as well. I can't remember ever seeing Stanley playing an upright bass, George and his Super 400, Watrous was amazing, Lenny was hot as always and Chick just smoked it. Never saw this before . I was studying classical guitar at CSUN at the time, guess I missed it. Thanks for sharing.
Bill Watrous, what an amazing trombone player!
Nice to see the All-Stars cast ! The 70's was my favorite era with Jazz Fusion . Chick sure did write many great songs . What a great era with the addition of electronics , it fulfilled my Hard Rock love . Thanks
I love how they just make it look so effortless. True craftsmen.
Bone player killed everybody on the changes
Pure Genius. I love how you can see the passion on their faces. Love it!!!
Laws has always been one of my favorite flutists. As a high school student I listened to his recordings ALL THE TIME!
Stanley Clarc is the magic link to all of these wonderful musicians! 💪
Bill Watrous - my first time with Him:) So pure tone - excellent, gotta check him out
Ah!, the 70's.Beautiful songs, great musicians and amazing performances.SENSATIONAL!!!!!!
True indeed!
And i commented the same as you did just now.
We have the same feeling. Wonderful!
☺👌🏻✨
The rhythm section is about to tear my head off! ...bless you for posting!
Thanks for another great clip, Dave. Fantastic performances by Bill Watrous, Hubert Laws, and a Chic from Korea.
this is almost too good to be true..
Prodigal group at its finest
That's why altho some look down on George now because his later work is very commercial, in my eyes he has nothing to prove. He's done it all in jazz and held his own with the greatest. And he can STILL do it! Quite a few players have tremendous speed and virtuosity, but he has a rare combination of that with lyricism that after all these years still kills me... if you haven't done so, check out the youtube of 'How High the Moon' with GB and Lage Lund - incredible!
Thank you, Dave, for posting this footage!
Great, classic stuff and great players one and all!
My all time favourite Chick Corea composition.
Hubert Laws solo is amazing !
What a flute player !
¡Qué temazo!Thanks for posting. I love this song in all its rempditions, few compositions are so inspirating I think. And now I just know two "new" (to me) fabulous musicians, Hubert Laws and Bill Watrous, thanks
The pride of Chelsea, Massachusetts, we will miss you Chick!
chick corea young! i like Spain.
Kazu Tophill And this is 11 years after he, Richard Davis, Jimmy Cobb, and Hu Laws recorded "The Laws of Jazz."
Oh man, Chick is in fine form here !! We are also treated to half a chorus on Mini Moog !! Who could ask for more ???
Fantastic post- wish this sort of thing could happen today! Watrous, Laws, Benson, White, Stanley C and the great Chick the pride of Chelsea,MA!!!!
i dont think people understand how difficult it is to play the trombone that well
Oh yeah its extremely hard especially 3:22
I think this is the one they put in the recording, yes?
So magical !! 70's is the best of all.
☺⭐🌜✨❤
Awesome talent. Awesome performance!
RIP to the great Chick Corea
Beautiful beautiful music!!!! 👌👌👌👌👌
Great cut! This became one of my favorite jazz songs when my son's jazz band used to play it.
It's kind of funny to see Bill Watrous's slide oil stuck in the inside of the concert grand, eh?
Man... Hubert Laws' sound is like, perfect..One day I'll get that sound on flute lol
Stellar performance (with stellar performers) of an awesome song! This band was incredible! Thanks for this great video!
Amazing line up, amazing version!! Nice to see Hubert Laws dancing to this music.
Not to mention Bill Watrous in fine form. Great vid!
That's a fantastic combination of Flute & Chick Corea keep it up boys I love ya!!!!
Bill makes it look so effortless it almost looks like a guy who is faking playing the trombone. His chops look the same whether he is playing a high F of one in the staff.
thank u who ever put this on!!!god bless u!!
Thanks for posting this...it's great to see George Benson during this time period. Had to laugh at how he turned up the volume at the end!
RIP Bill Watrous.
They all(and each) have an immense, original sound that would challenge any up and coming jazz musician and put him/her to their limits. Talk about being sucked in a vortex and barely escaping with your life!
Hubert laws is so lyrical with his improvisation.
Amazing, timeless.
Excellent work! Great apport! Thank you!
This is gold! Thank you for posting
Chick Correa: Keys. Hubert Laws: Flute. Bill Watrous: Trombone. Lenny White: Drums. George Benson: Guitar. Stanley Clarke: Acoustic Bass.
wow! so many incredible musicians in one place!
What a great performance! Miss those CTI recordings!!
Fusion was GOOD for jazz. That made them be able to do this event. Has there been any solidified interest in jazz in 25 or so years. NO! Wynton has not made the music more popular in any way. But Chick, Stanley, Hubert laws, Wayne Shorter, George Benson all brought people into the music and helped them understand the true spirit of the music. It's adventure, power and variety...
Bill Watrous es mi idolo lo maximo"
The best Corea formation.
What a nice suprise to see this, thank you!!!
Fuggin' AWESOME. Every single player there.
Jeez man, ive not heard much of George Benson, but ive never heard him shred like that! What an amazing group. Chick Corea always has the best musicians with him!
Hubert Laws is definitely the best jazz flautist ever, first time I've ever heard of him was through Bob James's "Touch Down" album!
And what an album that was. My god!!!!
great, thx very much for posting! saturday morning music for sure back in the 70's. great way to start the day! then of course end the day with some Miles from Bitches Brew or other.
Rip maestro Bill Watrous
Holy FFFFFFFFuckin shit. Chick. Benson. Stanley Clarke. More. And, AND, in this same show were names like McCoy. And Rahsaan Roland. Sonny R. Freddie H. Hubert L. Lenny White making it all work.
And the almighty Quincy presiding over festivities.
Jazz's absolute pinnacle. It would never again reach this astronomical height.
Thanks for a great post. Outstanding.
Benson cranks it up for his 'Lydian #5' licks on the second to last chord !!
Hubert Laws is a badass!!
Great clip, great band! Watrous was just untouchable in his prime.
Maravilloso Csm!!!!!!!!
George still The best
Incredible!!!!!!!
Definitely should be added to the favorites
Wow, I very much enjoyed that!
To clarify :-
i meant the Lydian scale with it's 5th degree 'raised'. Or Lydian Augmented, or (as i said) Lydian sharp five (#5). (ie. 3rd mode of the melodic minor.)
💯 Kings👏
yep....amazing fingers to the keys.....beautiful techinique :)
Great Video. Please put more if you have.
magic flute
bello emozionante
Really Great!!!
ur so right!
Like a Samba.
Rhythm From Brazil.
George whas awesome at that time!
At that time?! At anytime!!!
George benson
Lenny White is just sinkin' into that groove.
Bravo!
Love it when Chick (lipcurl) rips into the moog. I got a DVD of this a few years back. Watched it 20 or so times. Stellar line-up. At the end of my DVD it started to go into the 1976 awards show. I was devastated when it faded to black minutes later. Anybody got it?
Everyone's great!!!!
Waooooioooooo.!!!
All star team Jesus, thoses calibur musicians playing TOGETHER ! sooo SICK !
RIP :(
chick....RIP grande maestro
They are each great players, but the sixteenths on bone by Watrous, stick out to me.
His tone is superb.
Chick Corea
Jazz pianist who was happy to stray into rock and classical fusions
John Fordham - 14 Feb 2021
"Chick Corea, who has died aged 79, was a playfully prodigious jazz piano improviser, a versatile composer and a pioneer of 1970s jazz-rock fusion."

カッコよすぎ！！
This is the only version i have heard of 'Spain' where they omit the interludes between solos. i assume this was due to air time restrictions. I dont mind admitting it got me first time round as i thought the trombone (Bob) had come in early. Its always nice to get caught out now and again !!
Some people listen to stations like the Wave and think they are listening to jazz, well they really need to check out his clip so they can see the roots of smooth jazz
I'm surprised Quincy never produced a version of this tune. Even in its original form, it sounded like something he might have created himself. Maybe that's why he never claimed it. there was nothing to add or take away. Although it might have been called 'Brazil'.
check out the stage presence of watrous..& his embouchre ....
