Looks like Leo Smith on trumpet. Baritone sax may be Henry Threadgill. The bassist looks nothing like Miroslav Vitous who was tall, thin, did not wear glasses, and had curly hair during this period. The tenor sax could be Doug Ewart. This is probably a presentation by the Creative Music Studio around 1979-1980. This collective first toured Europe in 1979 and played workshop/festivals in Woodstock and some other places in the US. This is a presentation in Woodstock (the obscured lower banner shows "WDST"--the Woodstock radio station). I do not see Dewey Redman at all. I don't think Hemphill is on stage here--he was quite tall and very handsome, and I don't think he ever had a beard. I met Redman, Hemphill and Vitous in the 1970s at shows I was working, sometimes as soundman, sometimes as co-producer. It's a pity the video is not sharper. Chick Corea is the first person in the video but does not play--Marilyn Crispell was directly involved with the CMS in this period. Of course, the music is wonderful. Thanks for sharing a rare document of some of the greatest improvisers of that era.
