"Always There" (revisited)


An all-star band at the 1999 Montreux Jazz Festival, playing Ronnie Laws' classic "Always There".  The band includes Boney James, Kirk Whalum, and Kenny Garrett on saxophones, Rick Braun on trumpet, Larry Carlton on guitar,and a few other ace musicians on keyboards and drums.  Not sure who plays in the rhythm section.  But, the main players are all listed.  This cut is really cool, as there is also a tease of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" thrown into the jam for good measure. 

The full band lineup is:

Rick Braun : Trumpet (Flugelhorn)
Kenny Garrett : Alto Sax.
Boney James : Tenor Sax.
Kirk Whalum : Tenor Sax.
Larry Carlton : Guitar
George Duke : Keyboards
Billy Kilson : Drums
Mike Manson : Bass
