Herbie Hancock's jazz-funk masterpiece, "Actual Proof":
Original version from
Thrust (1974):
Actual Proof from Thrust
Live version with Herbie playing acoustic piano from
Flood (1975). Same personnel as in
Thrust including killer drummer Mike Clark. Totally swinging and tight. Herbie's edgy solo builds in intensity with every chorus til it runs over with testifyin' gospely-funky-post bop-Bartok goodness. I fuckin love this shit:
Actual Proof live version from Flood
Funk band in Michigan doing a decent cover of it. Interesting hearing a sax in the mix.
Actual Proof performed by band "Liquid Street" (2009)
