Paul Simon has had many creative periods during his long illustrious career. During the mid-70's he started playing with some of the best jazz/funk musicians New York had to offer. His "One Trick Pony", album as depicted in the movie of the same name, showcased his new funk/jazz band. Steve Gadd on drums, Richard Tee on Keyboards, and Eric Gale on guitar were members of the popular funk/jazz group Stuff. Add Tony Levin on bass, and you have something of a New York super session group backing Simon. This cd is basically "One Trick Pony" live, featuring songs from the album such as "Ace in The Hole", featuring Richard Tee sharing vocals with Simon. It's a rollicking thumper and may be the highlight of the concert. Other standouts are "One Trick Pony", and of course "Late in The Evening". Simon adds fan favorites like "Me & Julio Down by The School Yard", "The Boxer", "Still Crazy", and a live funky version of "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover", which nearly eclipses the version on Simon & Garfunkel "Live in Central Park". Richard Tee's unmistakable fender rhodes sound is prevalent throughout, and Eric Gale shows why he is considered the grand champion of progressive jazz guitar.
