Merci à André Francis, le présentateur, qui présenta et enregistra des milliers de concerts de Jazz en France pendant plus de 60 ans.

I've been listening and studying jazz for almost 30 years and I never knew these musicians got together like this! It's amazing and you can tell its partially influenced by what Miles was doing at the same time. Tony just came from that group so fitting that he's doing this. And having Stanley Clarke on bass?!? Wow! Thank you so much for posting this!!

[@TiqueO6]

Man I knew that was Jeremy Steig at the first three notes! I spent so many hours back in the very early 70s listening to his playing with Bill Evans. I think one of the main albums was “what’s new?” They had a thing about group improvisation that really worked around that time it was excellent!

[@blahblahoink]

It's hilarious when he introduces Jeremy Steig. "He's out of his mind ain't he?"

[@BurnsTennis]

I have to laugh, Stanley Clarke was looking on incredulously :-0
I read Horace Silver's book, according to Horace, jazz was one of those things were half the performers on the bandstand are totally off their heads whilst the other band members are teetotal! It's incredible how they can work together.
