Freeway Jam Band: “Smoke ‘n’ Mirrors” Live (with Melvin Davis Interview)

The Simon Phillips Archive dropped this video last month, from a 2019 show at Blue Note Tokyo.

The clip begins with an interview with Melvin Lee Davis, followed by a performance of “Smoke ‘n’ Mirrors.”

“Lee Ritenour and Mike Stern, the super guitarists representing the US West and East Coasts, perform in a dream competition. Along with Simon Phillips, Melvin Davis, John Beasley and other super musicians who don’t usually fit on the side. The incandescent performance held at Blue Note Tokyo in 2019 are now in the best quality you ever seen,” they shared.

What a lineup!
