Here's another ECM favorite, with Jan Hammer and John Abercrombie. Hammer had recorded this tune a few years earlier with Elvin Jones, that version is also great :3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOZA...

Speaking of ECM, Jack was an MVP over the label's lifetime, playing on dozens of records. Here he is on Collin Walcott's first album as a leader, a beautiful record all around www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCws...

8 months later the band had changed. Grossman was replaced by Gary Bartz, Keith Jarrett replaced Chick Corea, and Michael Henderson had replaced Dave Holland. (John McLaughlin sat in on this gig as well). Bartz's solo here starting at about 5:00 has some of my favorite Jack moments.
