Sad to announce but my uncle the legendary session rhythm guitarist. Wah Wah Watson passed away on October 24th 2018!!! We love you Unc and you was da Man!!!!! RIP!!!!
So sad that the guitarist passed away. In this playlist you can find the complete concert he gave with Herbie Hancock at the Munich Philharmonic Hall in 1989: goo.gl/AFa1rA I hope you enjoy his astounding legacy!
Man...Herbie is the Cooking est Kat ever!!! He is a complete Gentleman also by the way, at an incredible concert at the greek theatre in Berkley California circa 1981, Herbie took a picture with my Wonderful mom............. while he was nice enough to hold her purse for her as she hugged him! I was 19 years old then and although I no longer have the shot it is an everlasting and simply beautiful memory.
This groove is SOOO hard to mimick live. I took a little solice in knowing that even Herbies band had a tough go with it live. It is truly one of the greatest examples of 70s Jazz funk.
I mean, it’s already crazy-good for the first half… but then Herbie hits the keys, and somehow it gets - I mean, I don’t even know how to quantify it: it doesn’t get 10x or 100x groovier, it goes off on a UFO trip and plants the seeds of the Inca empire and gives Bigfoot a ride… and somehow that band hangs along for Mr. Hancock’s cosmic trip and even powers the rocket!! I mean, “Right on!” barely covers it: my third eye was opened and beheld a fourth, that’s what a ride this was!!
Daddy's on the phone with that pianosolo, and he talks 'bout seeing harmonic structures to make the magic happen. Augmented chords building awesome tension as I analyse
That's what you call jazzfunk/fusion. Everyone was playing their ass off. I could hardly keep up with them on that tempo. Then they just smoove it right out. I love it. I wonder what year this was in ?
The ad breaks make this unwatchable. You Tube is another example of how money tries to oppress us and mess around with our culture. The artists so disfigured ought to demand that music vids have no ad breaks during songs only between them! Is it that hard?
they've started at higher tempo (around 131 bpm) and then slowed down a bit on Cinelu in. Beside that, amazing piece, i remember when i tried to figure out the rhythm of the individual lines in the studio version, quite deceptive with on and off beats (in the first the guitar seemed to me starting off beat but it wasn't)

Very sad what a legend but he’s left an amazing legacy
Legend!
djcoolcliff: He brought the funk !!

My respects to this fantastic musician. Playing riffs from him every week to remember myself what rhythm guitar is all about.
RIP WaWa Watson.... the central "Groove" in so many great songs... !!!
Joseph Miller yes sir my uncle was the man!!!!! He played on a lot of records and they young folks sample him like crazy!!!

Ridiculously good
Herbie hancock’s face during his solo….. that’s what being “in the zone” looks like. A thing of beauty really
Yeah and check out Wawa Watson and how he is moving to the music right there @7:23 Check out his hat. He's feeling it right there😅
Everyone is overlooking the elephant in the room- Bill Evan's saxophone is Breathtaking- truly 5 star performance.
Bill Evans is top drawer, played with Miles Davis band when Miles made a come back after quite a long lay off.
My sentiments exactly 👍
Darryl Jones and the Whole Damn Band :) Herbie's piano solo was cathartic for everyone. Wah Wah Watson always completely involved.
This groove is SOOO hard to mimick live. I took a little solice in knowing that even Herbies band had a tough go with it live. It is truly one of the greatest examples of 70s Jazz funk.
This has to be one of my favorite tracks! The whole album is fucking awesome.
My big brother playin that guitar, Wah Wah Watson!
One of my absolute favorite songs period!!
Wow. That was very cool. They stomped down on the pocket and Herbie took us on a ride.
Wow. Incredible. Thanks for putting this up
never has there been a deeper pocket>?
Bill Evans is such an awesome player
Holy shit Herbie. Somehow you matched the intensity of say, Jimi Hendrix at Isle of White, but on acoustic piano. Truly stunning.
I agree.the original recorded version was slower, tight and Paul Jackson/ the bassist made that groove sizzling
The bass player is nuts, amazing
HERBIE THE BAND NO SWET THE GROOVE THANK YOU TO ALL AND EVERYONE FOR THIS
Oh my!!!
herbie has influenced my world and life for decades. miles should have listened to him

Nobody ever did or will BRING IT like these guys... Whooo-EEEE !
Guitar Watson. Senza parole.
Bill Evans is a monster!!
i like everything i've heard from this band - gratitude to those who made this film happen
This is top tier.
Absurdly outstanding!
Great group energy on the Herbie solo!
Phenomenal
Daryl Jones on bass. Actually playing with Rolling Stones !
And he also played with the great Steps Ahead! Currently with his own great trio: The Stone Riders
@@vdelrio1955 L thanks for the drop, I'll check out his trio
Not to forget, he played with Sting on his Dream Of Blue Turtles album and tour.

I can hear Miles Davis in Hancock's piano.
God knows how he fit in there
@@arcajazz I watched videos.. he wasn't a big guy.
Herbie is The One
Go Mino!!!!!
Brain melting solo by Herbie
AHHH we miss you Wah Wah!

Who is the video man who showed Herbie Hancock starting halfway through the video?
🤔
#GREAT MUSIC!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
groovy!
Perfect.
So Good!!!
Wow!!!!

👏🏾👏🏾
3 people are hung up
Bill Evans very good
OHHHHHHHHHHHH MAN. This is music that makes you literally laugh out loud with how just rediculous it is
this is probably too funky for safety
3:27 what guitar is that? ............I really like the vintage looking metal plate on Mr. Melvin's Guitar!
Soooofuckiinggooood
Drummer Ndugu Leon Chancler is a steam engine.
Это умопомрачительно!

Quit thinking so much and just play. If you can...
@@andyokus5735 Salty?
if there's something of my argument you don't agree with make your case. If you can...
Does anybody know the line herbie quoted at 05:39 ?
This is "Hang up Your Hangups" not "Air Dancing"
Thank you. It has been corrected.
What time is it, Kenny? 9:19. That's my number mother......
Lettuce brought me here
Lettuce is keeping Jazz Funk alive. Talented and fun to watch
