Robin Eubanks - House of Jade


a solo electric trombone performance of Wayne Shorter's ballad, "House of Jade"

Robin Eubanks is one of the most sophisticated users of electronic music technology in the history of the medium, one of the ones who goes way beyond experimental music making.  This is genius level music.

And The Composer's Own Genius Abounds




Wayne Shorter — tenor saxophone
McCoy Tyner — piano
Reggie Workman — bass
Elvin Jones — drums

Update:  When I said his use of electronics was sophisticated, I didn't necessarily mean that he used lots of gear, it was that his MUSICAL USE OF THEM WAS MUSICALLY SOPHISTICATED, which depends on intelligence, and a great musical ear.  Which Robin Eubanks has.  So many others depend on flashy equipment which impresses those without intelligence or ears, instead
