VSOP: In Concert in Japan: "Live Under the Sky"

What this episode covers

VSOP was started during the time of Miles Davis' voluntary "retirement" from 1975 to 1980. The former members of Davis' "Second Great Quintet" wished to recapture some of the musical magic that happened in that band. VSOP then was formed with Wayne Shorter on soprano and tenor saxophones, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums. The great Freddie Hubbard took the place of Miles Davis on trumpet. The repertoire at first was a recap of many of the tunes from Miles' band but then the group moved away from that to feature new compositions played in the same style.This had happened when this live concert took place in July of 1979 in Tokyo. They played in the pouring rain to over 10,000 ecstatic fans and delivered a concert worthy of their collective greatness. That is tonight's Jazz Feature VSOP: "Live Under The Sky". Say no more!
