Great tribute! Big Band Tony! Don't miss the Cindy Blackman Tony tribute albums, too: Spectrum and Another Lifetime. Both feature Medeski on organ.

Did Lifetime ever perform "There Comes a Time"? The only other version I've heard was arranged & performed by Gil Evans, with Gil on keyboards, Tony on drums, & Ryo Kawasaki on guitar. I like this (HRBB) version - swingier & jazzier than Gil's more avant-garde arrangemnet (which I also like).

There are several live recordings of this tune by various TW bands.

first minute and the like button was being massacrated

[@flukecentral5641]

what scales/modes is guitarist using on emergency

[@HammondB200]

chromatic

[@martinbe5111]

Awesome, but the guitarist butchered "where"

[@pallhe]

I found him absolutely inspiring, but what he did was pretty "out there" so will not be everybody's cup of tea.
