WOW!!! henkholland, thank you!!!!

Henk, thanks a lot for those links.
It seems that since the Japan shows, as there is now a sax player, there is much less space for Robben (on the NSJ Festival recording he doesn't play a solo anymore in Splatch for instance), but that is still a stellar band, I like Robben a lot in this kind of context. I wish they would play some gigs in France.

Wasn't Bill Evans on sax with the band when they played the initial gigs in Japan?

He wasn't on the two vids posted in the first message of this thread.

Oh yeah, guess I forgot about that...

Does anyone know the titles of the third and fifth track from the audio stream that henkholland linked to?

That is,

Never mind about track #5, it's "So What" - kind of an unusual take on it...

Still in the dark on track #3, though, despite it being somewhat familiar...

I had this set list from a recording of this show, if they are in the same order :
1-New Blues
2-Splatch
3-Mayisha
4-Maze
5-So What
6-Jean Pierre

Not sure if it's correct though...

Hmmm, what you have listed as "New Blues," I have seen listed (and also know of from earlier versions) as "Blues M.D."

Also, the one you have listed as "Maze" is titled on the video clip from the North Sea Fest site as "Don't Stop Me Now."

Listened to a recording of "Mayisha" from On the Corner and yup, that's the tune! Thanks, PierreL!

Listening to versions of "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Maze." The tune that the video labeled as "Don't Stop Me Now" doesn't seem anything like either... hmmm...

AlChuck · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 1:12 pm Post subject:

No, I take that back. "Maze" it is... at least, it's the same tune as I found on YouTube from a Brazilian TV broadcast that the poster claimed was really title "Maze" although the titles on the TV show identified it as "Portia." But I listened to "Portia" (from Tutu) and it's not the tune. So, assuming the guy was right, "Maze" is correct...

That audio track is great.

It's embedded in a Silverlight wrapper. Anybody know how to download that?
