When I brought Gonzalo to Funchal Jazz (Madeira), the mayor of the city was next to me. As some noise settled around us, picked up the phone and after ten minutes, the street behind the stage was closed. It was a magnificent concert. This one, even Gonzalo doesn't know!!!
Rubalcaba is totally a beast. This version of Autumn Leaves left me impressed. I had just seen his 1991 version, which was already truly amazing and unique. Now it turns out three years later he plays it in a more amazing and unique way. We are blessed to have a musician like Rubalcaba gracing our existence with this high musical quality.
that version was a little busy for me. Maybe I'm not ready for it yet. I'll check out this one though also. I probably just need more listened to get accustomed to his style. Amazing technique and rhythm for sure. Update: I loved this version. Ron is a perfect contrast to his playing. He left a lot of space in this also which I like. This one reminded me of the Ahmad Jamal version but More out there. Really cool.
me too, they're on the same page, it's just up to us to keep concentration. (I asked some of his cuban sidemen from another jazz ensemble he had how they kept up with the even more complex compositions and concepts that Gonzalo will play with other cuban musicians (my preferred set up for his music). They said basically one word - Concentration, and plenty of it!
The true artistry of these cats, in this regard, is that they know exactly when the drummer's solos (like fours for and example) begin and end but they deliberately stagger or overlap the end or begin points to make make the solos less "linear" or "cut and dry" so to speak! Makes the solos more interesting and challenging not only for the performers but to the audience as well! As they say, "They know what time it is!!!" Out of this world greatness on that stage and Carter (no WONDER he owns the Guinness World Record for the most recorded Jazz Bass Player of all time when the award was given to him!!!)

i am in awe. I have no idea what he's doing. Just so glad to be alive to witness his prescence.
Ron Carter never ceases to amaze me.
'Ron's Forever at the top of His game!......

Thanks for sharing that story wow

The Great late Chick Corea praised him at that 91' jazz fest when he played that autumn leaves
That 1991 concert version with Patitucci and DeJohnette is amazing. I love how Chick Corea is watching Gonzalo with a smile on his face.
He’s riiiiidiculous
Ruabadiculous I meant to say …; )

I imagine that stepping onto the same stage as Gonzalo Rubalcaba is like getting into a cage with a tiger. Only for the bravest of the brave.
Extraordinario concierto, con un Rubalcaba jóven que andaba a la velocidad de la luz
This is fabulous.
Trio espetacular, show de primeira qualidade.
Lo que hace Gonzalo es inigualable 🤯
Thanks for uploading. My fav of GRs trio incarnations. IMHO Barretto is the greatest drummer to have ever walked the earth.
?Que tierra? La tuya!
My 1st time hearing him & I’m very impressed.
amazing mix on this, the drums sound amazing piano super crispy reverb perfect
Yes indeed - I wonder if the audience had same quality sound
I caught Gonzalo at a jazz club in Waikiki in 81 & Gonzalo was 'Kick'n like this at 330AM W/Richie Cole & Co.
rubalcabas always been my favorite.
Amazing trio 💛💛💛
Gonzalo is the GOAT
Wow! Just Wow! Hot house. The house is getting burned by Gon Julio and Ron

Gonzalo lembra me um pouco Thelonius Monk.
The SADLY late Chick Corea appreciating …
E
i really love that the piano its a little out of tune
Must be a litte frustrating for the drummer,
nobody can follow well enough to know when your solo is beginning or ending !!
Thought they did pretty good
me too, they're on the same page, it's just up to us to keep concentration.
