The Abercrombie / Erskine / Mintzer / Patitucci Band
Back
to the Improvisation
band is comprised of four of the most acclaimed musicians in contemporary music. Each has years of performance and recording credits, all having worked with a veritable who's-who of jazz and popular music. In addition, each has led his own band, and received great critical acclaim both as a composer and a player. On this video the band performs a set of eight brilliant compositionstwo by each member of the groupwhich range in style from the spiritual ballad feel of "The Well" by John Patitucci, to the second-line funk of "Cats and Kittens" by Peter Erskine; from the country-inflected swing of "That's For Sure," by John Abercrombie, to the strutting groove of "Modern Day Tuba," by Bob Mintzer. Interspersed between these phenomenal performances each member of the group steps forward to discuss his own approach to playing his instrument and to playing in an ensemble. A very special concert and clinic all in one. Other Cool Videos by Hudson Music Snare Drum Basics Rocco Prestia Manring, Gonzalez, Prestia, Wooten Victor Wooten Problems Ordering? Click Here
