The title pretty much says it all. Latin jazz virtuoso Michel Camilo with an earlier (and perhaps best) incarnation of his trio - the animated 6-string bass pioneer Anthony Jackson and the seemingly three armed, three legged drummer (high hat, bass kick, and cowbell? No problem)Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez:

These guys are fantastic. In fact, I'd go so far as to say they are *almost* as good as Widespread Panic. I was only disappointed that they didn't invite Kenny G to come on stage and solo for a few bars.
In all seriousness, the amount of virtuosic talent on that stage is overwhelming. Nearly too much to digest.
RosenRosen,
If I may be presumptuous, I believe that you think Kenny G is that weird dude from the 80s playing those pop instrumental pieces. Actually, he was and still is a quite respectable jazz performer. He is exalted by the likes of world renown jazzers like Wynton Marsalis, Leon Anderson, and Marcus Roberts.
You got it Prof, and here we disagree (yet again). I've heard some of G's actual jazz, and I still simply don't prefer him. Mainly because I lean toward the beebop end of the spectrum as opposed to the more modern jazz movements.
But there can be no right or wrong answer on this one, except of course that my opinion is probably the most right answer. I KEED I KEED (kinda).
That weird dude can play some golf.
I'm an 8-handicap.
