Saw Herbie Hancock once before, almost exactly 25 years ago. But never have I seen him close out Newport Jazz with the sun setting over the water behind me.

Also, if the moment in question is goddamn Herbie Hancock playing Chameleon, then I must kindly tell you to go fuck yourself.

Remember fellow olds, if you're whining to the people in front of you to sit down at a concert, you're the problem, not the people standing.

I have no idea what Kamasi would have sounded like with JRAD, but I have trouble believing it would be any better than this. An incredible set. Branford is just unreal.
