I so wish that I'd been there at the Bottom Line the night this was recorded. So many of my musical heroes were gathered on the stage that night. I was born at the wrong time. Guess I should just be happy that somebody had the wisdom to record all those incredible musicians as they were making this wonderful music.
Back in the early 80's I was living between NYC / Seattle and San Diego - Tom filled a lot of travel time (on my Walkman) setting the mood for the day... Thanks for memories Tom
The Happy feet and hands of Steve Gadd and Richard Tee. They drop into a deep Stuff style groove that brims with smiles. Marcus Miller signs, seals and delivers one of his best performances of his life on this album. In my opinion, he didn't play enough with Steve.
I know what you meant on where it was recorded and what not... All the info is on the CD itself... West Coast Jazz is a Facebook Music Group/Page in which I specifically uploaded this track on that purpose alone.... Just thank the uploader for you are able to listen to this wonderful track w/c happens to be a "Hard To Find" CD.... BTW
this record is a total treasure it's a VERY young Marcus Miller who holds down the low end like a seasoned wizened pro here ... was he even 20 for this session?!
Tom Scott playing the lyricon. He was one of the few that ever mastered it and will be one of the last as the company who made it went out of business as they couldn’t generate enough sales from it.
West coast Jazz? I dont quite agree. This was recorded live at the Bottom Line, NYC and features a band of New York heavyweights, alla studio legends. Classic concert BTW
This dog mellows me out too much to argue with you . . . but it's West Coast Jazz, no doubt, the groove, the performers, and the instrumentation. They just happened to be playing on the East coast that night. Almost 40 years later and I get goosebumps
I was there in the front row the night this was recorded...this brings back amazing memories ....!!!
I was there as well... at a table in the "back". I think I was 13 years old.
Wish I'd been there too! I was 10.

One of the best he ever produced. A really great album.
Jazz musicians are the elite of the music world. Don't believe me? Try playing like that 😁

I used to play the heck out of this LP on my old turntable back home at my Mom's old house in Cali, back in the early 80's, love this song.
I wore out my lp
30 years ago, I saw Tom's play in Tokyo,which was great!

Great job, specially I like Richard T (R. I. P.) and Steve Gadd perfomances.
Thank you very much bowerwilkins2.
Just awesome! I wish I would have been there!
I'm in Medicine Hat again. Memories of my To Canada Exchange programme.Mary Swan, I wish I could see you again.

adding: Tom Scott *and* Marcus Miller have been huge to m ears for many years. this track's such a tasty trip back in time.
I was there!!!!!!
Lucky you!
Should i use that song as a smartphone alarm ringtone?
Damn. I'd give anything to have been the room that night.
Still have the old LP put away in my closet.
Get it out!
Who plays the synth solo - sounds fantastic!
