Carla Bley died today at the age of 87. R.I.P. Carla. And Jack. And Bruce.
Bruce Gary is an underrated drummer.
He is exellent in his playing.😘
Agreed
Yes, a technically highly capable drummer who went on to join a rather musically pedestrian band, The Knack. In this respect he resembled Dennis Elliott, who played with the jazz-rock band If to musically good effect before being hijacked by Foreigner.
Thought that was Howard Stern
his playing make me thought another drummer of that holy time, Jaki Liebezeit from CAN

Most of u wont know it... but that right there is Miss Carla Bley... one of the greatest musicians not only in rock history but in Jazz history... good for m.r Bruce. Clap clap
and her solo unbelievable!!!
What a band! Strong sense of Mahavishnu Orchestra which is high praise.
Jeff Beck Group vibes as well.
Only one issue: As much as I love Mick Taylor, he's not John McLaughlin. No one is, but that's OK.
@@davidpeters44Do you mean the Jan Hammer one or the Bobby Tench version?
There was so much more to Jack Bruce's music than Cream/Clapton. These are some top notch players.I also like how respectful the audiences were back then.
more for minorities
never anything like CREAM !!! ❤❤❤
@5StarAlcatraz Take it from me ,we were absolutely riveted. He had away of making a Madison Square Garden sized venue feel like a stage side table at the Marquee.And, making that smaller club feel like the RAH.
Big, there’s so much Jack Bruce music to discover and dive into. I, for one, really don’t know his jazz fusion period.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
Concuerdo mucho por descubrir
In the 70s the musicians are just so good
Had to be good then not like the shite kids thinks good now great musicians great bands around
Superb Mellotron by Carla Bley. Brilliant playing all round, in fact!
Always nice to have some Tron!
I didn't know Carla played w/ Jack until I saw this. She's a great composer.
Yeah her solo is interesting too. Not a great solo by the other keyboardist. Jack got right to the point with his brief one. He’s always great. I thought Mick Taylor did well himself
Admit I was kind of missing Larry Young, this being a Tony Williams tune
Nice drumming!
This is an era long gone when talent and musicianship reigned supreme!
Absolutely spot on my friend.
It didn't reign ... it was a given
Same thing friend! @@MrUsermister
They are terrible, what are you talking about. They great couldn’t musicians individually but together they suck. No one’s playing in the pocket amateur best.
Jack and his amazing band!
Jack Bruce war ein großartiger Sänger und Bassist
Mick Taylor: best Stones guitarist ever!
no question about it !
1967 - 1975 the best era of prog rock.
With a couple exceptions in late 1979s, to be exact.
One of a kind! I hear shades of Zappa's apostrophe in Jack's Bruce's approach here. One of the very best Jack Bruce
Agree-------Even in the tone of his bass
Snap - I noticed that before seeing your comment.
Great, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor , And Carla Bley:👏👏👏
love his green shirt with the white pants too , Mick Taylors beautiful sweater and cords also . Nice that he introduced them all !!! That should be done in all bands before playing . It shows great respect to his mates , and we get to know them by name . Win Win !
I'm glad that you liked their clothes.
@@michaelroach4219Carla wearing a great outfit
And Mick Taylor's guitar strap is very pretty 😏
Shoes are a bit boring
Jack Bruce was one of the best voices, making Cream, BLT and West Bruce & Lang stellar. ❤
Even more on his "Solo" Work 😊
This man recorded one of the greatest love songs ever "Folk Song" read the lyrics, listen to the song. 63 years old still have all his LP's.
This is a great video. Great band.
Love the warmth in the analogue equipment. Not one bit of digital tinniness.
You're listening to digital audio lol
What a band, Jack Bruce, Carla Bley, Mick Taylor, wow!
Don't forget Bruce Gary. Great drummer. I preferred him in this lineup to his later foray with The Knack.
Wonderful Jack Bruce! Wonderful band!
Loving this drummer's playing right now.
A wonderful piece of music. Very tight arrangement. I didn't know Carla Bley played with Bruce. Her playing is sublime as are all the others
Those were some beautiful runs from The Rolling Stones maestro. Jack's nimble bass lines and drums full of life with a strange hypnotic brew of keys. Brilliant.
Mick with Jack? I didnt know this even happened. Nice
Wonderful memories, thank you. I saw this band in Manchester a few days after this TV broadcast, if I remember well, and met Carla Bley after the gig. Rest in peace, maestra!
At least outwardly, Mick Taylor seemed to have survived the Stones just fine.
..he sounds good but he’s seems like he is hiding behind those shades..those last couple of years with the Stones were pretty damaging i think
His heroin period I believe. @@victormusic01x
@@victormusic01x Hiding behind shades is pretty common for heroin uses. I think Mick (and Jack) were still using at this point.
The principal melody is a adaptation of the Tony Williams song "Wild Life".
Amazing bass playing and bass tone
Outstanding classic live performance and production ❤! Very enjoyable! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏽 😊
RIP beautiful Carla Bley
RIP Carla who just died a couple of days ago, Oct. 17 at the age of 87.
Drummer is getting an amazing work out ! Awesome jam.‼️Im so glad we have youtube to take us back to all the things we remember growing up ! 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼♥️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love the Old Grey Whistle concerts the most! what a time trip , far out man✌🏼
I saw Jack with this lineup at the Free Trade Hall in June 1975 and remember the OGWT show. I owe Jack something for my education, loved Cream and followed him into the jazz stuff and the chamber music settings of Becket with Carla Bley written by Michael Mantler. Too difficult for me at 13 but because it was Jack I persevered, having bought the records, and learned something about different ways of expression and, rare for me at that age, deferred gratification. Thanks Jack
Irrelevant?
@@chrisdowell4268Rude as fuck ?
Mick Taylor was just too good to be in the rolling stones. They never had a real guitarist after him.
He is simply noodling in this show.
Woody was every bit as good as Taylor B4 the stones dragged him down !
I can agree that Wood was a brilliant guitarist. The Stones have a habit of grinding talent down...just the nature of the beast of the Stones, I guess.@@jerryshunk7152
@@robbiekoon6244 👍 🤔 👹
@@AmericasChoiceIts pretty good noodling though
Wow!! Great to see so much talent!
That is awesome
Love that unison playing between Leahy and Mick Taylor at the end. Marvellous.
brilliant absolutely brilliant!
Abe Union pride bruse and Taylor together wow great to hear again such great memories thank you
mick taylor! great!
Yes absolutely! I had no idea he played jazz and jazz fusion. I just remember him in the Stones.
RIP Carla Bley.
When bands played real music...real talent...Jack....what a singer bass player..
Innovative as always, amazing, love Bruce's style of playing really cool.
This is FUSION
NOT "Prog Rock"
thats a marketing name from layer on.
Fusion was the direction
Jimi Hendrix was headed for in 1971.
He' d heard Miles Davis guitar players and compositions and John MClaughlin's inovations and especially
Carlos Santana.
He had booked alot of these session musicians rhat Miles Davis used.
Read, "Electric Gypsy," the best biography
ever writen.
I’ve watched this thing a number of times! It’s so inspiring!
RIP Carla Bley
tbh this reminded me at the beginning of the Jazz Club sketches in the Fast Show. It improved greatly after.
Sounds Really awesome!!!
rip carla bley
Amazing!!
Merci
The great and wonderful Jack Bruce
Oohh hang on, there's a very young Carla Bley! Heaving a rather nervous sigh by the looks of it ...she and JB date back to her debut album Escalator Over the Hill. Sadly we lost her last October.
It's great! Thanks a lot!! From BRAZIL!!!
wonderful
No pressure on the drummer; composition of drummer Tony Williams. What a force that guy was. Got to see him once in a convening of West Coast players at Kimball's East in Emeryville around 1996.
Bruce was a great innovator himself no doubt but this seems to me to illustrate what an absolutely massive impact Miles Davis had on everything and everybody. You may recall this is the exact same period when Jeff Beck was also really into Jazz Fusion as well. I know Beck cited Miles Davis as an inspiration.
Jack Bruce also played with John McGloughlin who would also have influenced him.
I think the big difference is that Jack Bruce started off as an acoustic bass jazz player. So he was always a jazz musician first, fusion would have come easy to him.
Jack don't even need a guitarist, but he choose the right one
YES SIR...
see Les Claypool....
Sure Mick Taylor is good..embarassingly better than those of the Stones, who have no sense of melody.
I can't judge, i wasn't there. As a guitarist-Stones never had a better one, it's my favorite Stones period. I heard they didn't get him enough author rights, who knows? I heard his solo stuff, it's good, but not as THE ROLLING STONES from Mick Taylor period. I agree about one thing-he deserves more recognition, such a tasteful guitarist.
@@macmccreadie8541and yet Mick has zero ability to write a decent song. Funny how that works?
@@shawnbrevik9759Sway .....
Superb!
Jack and Mick are legends. The other musicians are extremely good.❤❤❤
Καταπληκτική δουλειά !!!
Κρίμα που δεν έζησε πολύ αυτό το σχήμα, που ήταν φτιαγμένο για την κορυφή.
The keyboard kills rock n roll any time they bring it in
Damn! Amazing talent
Killer cut and playing all around ! Only downer is the poor planning by the camera guys who got very little good footage of Jack Bruce...
"You are witnessing a first in our new musical direction! This is a piece called Jazz Odyssey... he wrote this."
I think it's high time I explore Jack Bruce's discography.
Groovy, man!
One of my favs of this time was caravan , they fused it a bit and were successful . Argent did it too, but they did it carefully . Jack followed a jazz path like ginger and were superb as pioneers for today , lets face it jazz is a hard road , carla rip made great music and did her thing ,bravo
Good stuff! Has a bit of Freeway Jam vibe.
The drummer!
Jack Bruce with John Surman and John Hiseman Trio was my favorite!
Only some BBC-tracks on the Bruce 3-CD-Box, please try!
Tonny Williams' WILD LIFE. J.Bruce often played this song.
the drummer was something else, great.
It is also surprising that he is the drummer of The Knack, famous for the song My Sharona. Until that time, the history of rock was a mixture of various genres, and various talent.
RIP carla❤
Love this!
Wow drummer
Nice
Carla Bley! Wow
Jan Hammer. Wow
Who knew Howard Stern was so good on the drums?!?!
saw them on tour that year. jesus they were loud!
Muchas Gracias i was just given a lot time to "Spirit" with Tony Williams
I was a mere kid but I was fortunate to see the band at Birmingham odeon. Only really knew Sunshine of your love then, but I do remember being amazed by the drummer in the band. hOwever this was a very young Simon Phillips who took my breath away. Maybe soemone else out there was at teh same gig and also recalls him being the man behind the kit?
great!
Can't walk into a shop today and find a Gibson ES of that quality. The really modest looking ES 335 of today sets you back by 5K.
great bass hero!
There will always be a multitude of opinions about 'supergroups' and such; about as many as you have commentors...lol! But this, right here, is as super as it can get for me. The talent here is etheral and underrated, collectively and individually (just my opinion). Thanks so much for putting this up for those of us great unwashed who desperately needed this on an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday afternoon!
This rules
On Tony Williams' Believe It album, this is called Wildlife.
I enjoy watching the dude on the keyboard is that called manual tune. Thank you.
Its Jack Bruce, he can play whatever he wishes ❤
Thanks for posting
Great 🎸 band
As Jack once said ,"Lifetime sought to work on a higher plane".As evidenced by what they created in their short incarnation?most bands would never even reach their 'throwaways".
Welcome to jazz club…Greaaat….Wonderfuuul
And Carla on synth! cool beans
Bruce Gary is great
The "Bruce-nivishnu" Orchestra.
💯
Love the ‘Tron!
