Jazz tracks

Two tracks from my secret list of favourite jazz tracks ever:

• Herbie Hancock, “Someday My Prince Will Come,” on his amazing live with Chick Corea (An Evening With…, 1978)
  
  
• Mike Ratledge, “Slightly All the Time,” on Soft Machine's Third album (1970)
  
  

The video supply for these tracks is not that bad, thanks in particular to the jazzheads who are spending their days downloading from the French National Audiovisual Archives (INA) and uploading them on Youtube instead.

It is obvious that you should not trust live recordings to reflect album performace, but I think they will give you a pretty good idea. Third has been remastered in 2007, while the Hancock/Corea live was already perfect on first take: you can hear some slight humming over the piano at some point, but nothing critical like in Gould's Variations for instance.
