I saw that Herbie Show when it passed through San Francisco back in June. I thought, Herbie's playing was marginal. Moreover, he didn't really seem to be "feeling" it, just kind of phoning it in if you will. Frankly, I think, Herbie's tired of doing the acoustic stuff. He brought his Headhunters clan to the Fillmore in March, and his performance that night, made you feel like you got your monies worth. I decided not to watch the Grammy's, I tend to get extremely nauseous when watching awards shows. What kind of award was Shorter up for? Thanks, Zornlisters. Bruno

What the hell did Herbie do/play this yr that rated a Grammy, or even a wizened little nod?
Directions in Music. It was a crowd pleaser tribute to Miles and Coltrane. I saw them live when they came around, but I didn't bother buying the album. I enjoyed the group much more when Brecker and Hargrove shut up. Herbie played very well with drummer Brain Blade bassist and John Patitucci--he played a show stealing solo, which was far better than Brecker's solo attempt at Naima. An enjoyable evening? Yes. Grammy worthy? Probably not.
