I read the Jaco book, it's excellent - I hope they do the movie, I never heard about it until now.
I haven't seen Pat Metheny, however I must agree with the other 3 choices. Genesis are/were brilliant live.gene said:No contest. The best live shows are as follows:
1) Pat Metheny
2) Genesis
3) Yes
4) U2
This is fact, NOT opinion![]()
I'm not Dan...but Cobham was the drummer for Dreams. I believe Micheal Brecker and Will Lee were also in the band. I'm not sure of the guitarist...was it Ambercrombie?JoeE SP9 said:Hey Dan! If I remember correctly Billy Cobham was the drummer for dreams.![]()
These were some of my favorite musicians in the early 80's when I was first getting into jazz and I would often hear them speak about their time with Dreams in magazine interviews, liner notes, etc. Since I was born in 66' I did not have the pleasure of ever seeing them perform but I imagine they were a band well ahead of their time. Don't see much of their music in circulation either...maybe I'll look on Ebay. Which are their best albums?Dan Banquer said:I'm impressed! Cobham was the drummer, both Randy and Michael Brecker for trumpet and tenor sax, Dave Sanborn on Alto, and Will Lee on bass. I don't remember the rest of the band so I will look it up when I get home from work.
AH, those were the days!

I'll check FYE and Tower...maybe even look on Ebay for the vinyl (I'm a vinyl nut). If I can't find it I may take you up on your offer to burn it. I'm sure I can find something in my collection you would like and we can do an even exchange.Dan Banquer said:The original Dreams CD titled Dreams is hopefully still available on the Columbia Legacy Label. If it's out of print; contact me and I will burn you a copy.
In any case last night I looked up the original band members for Dreams from the liner notes of the Dreams CD. They are as follows:
Mike Brecker: Tenor Sax and Flute
Randy Brecker: Trumpet and Flugelhorn
Doug Lubahn: Bass and vocals
Barry Rogers: Trombone and Tuba
Ed Vernon: Lead Vocals
John Abercrombie: Lead guitar; replaced by Bob Mann later on
Lubahn and Kent were replaced by Will Lee and Don Grolnick later on also.
This is a remarkable CD if you understand and can appreciate it's place in jazz fusion history. They were absolutely stunning performers live.
