The Abercrombie/Erskine/Mintzer/Patitucci
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.
