I might have already mentioned how much I adore Will Lee both as a Bass player and as a musician. But Holly sh***! Tommy Igoe is a Monster: so much drive, attack, groove PLUS leading a big band - that's pretty insane.
One of the most accomplished bass players ever getting “nervous”. Thanks for sharing. The tone on your bass and the whole performance is off the hook. That’s an infectious groove.
Saw the "Jaco Pastorius Big Band" do this with David Carswell on bass in Hollywood FL many years ago....kind of a tribute concert. Equally Fabulous. His Jaco's SON walked in late and sat next to me. Kind of spooky because he looks so much like his Dad........
Very tasty and super funky playing by all! Yes, I do love playing this song on bass as well. I'm totally digging your very slinky rubber bandy tone on this one Mr. Lee!
i've had this specific performance on a playlist of mine for probably around 7 years now. saw it pop up on my feed and it was posted by none other than will lee himself. you're a huge inspiration mr. lee
Man, you really do know how to sweep with the thunderbrom! Since it was a memorial concert I was wondering if, in Buddy's memory, the drummer fired the band after the show.😉😂
I don't much like resorting to superlatives, but I listen to a lot of bass players, and structurally and melodically, this is one of the greatest bass solos I've ever heard.
Tommy Igoe fantastic. But... With a bassist like this, a drummer has zero effort. The first time I saw Will play was in a club in Los Angeles in 1980 with Spyro Gyra. I was blown away by its fantastic groove. I Love You

Tommy is one of very few drummers worthy of sitting in with Buddy’s band.
All serious player cats...love it. Props to the sound guy, that was a perfect mix.

Bloody hell!
I love how Will Lee is not trying to do Jaco at all but just grooving his ass off
Exactly
Don’t know if anyone has made drumming look more effortless then Tommy
Where does this fat, snappy and ass kicking sound from with whom he leads an entire big band? Amazing! 🎉
great bass play and stage act, Will Lee
Cool tune...I'D love to be the drummer behind a huge band like this....all I can say, is WOW!
This is by far my favorite rendition of this tune.
Same here. Even better than the Jaco big band version.
That was great !

Will never tire of this tune. Always a toe tapper. A joy to play too.

Will Lee,…. The Master of Disaster! What a privilege it is to watch you work sir! Great tune!
Possibly the best Chicken ever. Anyone know where we can find a hi-res audio file of this performance?
Stupenda versione,, grandissimo Will Lee

Just incredible, what feel
Every musician on this recording is on fire,especially Igoe!!

Fantastic 🎸🎉🔥
I really enjoyed your performance, Mr Lee. I'm really glad youtube has a "slow down" feature. I gotta be rippin some of that off.
Man, you really do know how to sweep with the thunderbrom! Since it was a memorial concert I was wondering if, in Buddy's memory, the drummer fired the band after the show.😉😂
Clams! I'm breakin' my ba!!5 out here and how dare you disrespect me like that?? You think it's funny?? .... ROFL
I want to take lessons from @tommyigoe and I want to play this with a big band before I die. SO GOOD.
You handled your business as always Will! Groove of Doom!!!
WOW....
The Chicken - Will Lee & the other guys !!!!!!
Wow the band sounds really tight 👍

Good stuff! Thank you. All of you!
Great cover! Keep it up!
1:32 when you're in the pocket, and the joy of drumming shows.
Anyone have a list of who was on the band that night??
Yeah!
I don't much like resorting to superlatives, but I listen to a lot of bass players, and structurally and melodically, this is one of the greatest bass solos I've ever heard.

Tremendous performance. But what about this Will's shirt?! Strange...
Hola, el jszz el sonido de urbe.
Excellent stuff Will.
Was that Roger Rosenberg on the Baritone Sax solo?
Who's the funky rhythm guitar player? Sounds like Charlie Brent!
Paul Pesco!

Will is playing like a pissed off Michael Jordan.
Looks like new music stands.
Didn’t hear a single clam!
Wonderful ! But bass should be fretless)
