What If a Big Band Was Made Entirely of Synthesizers? | "Mr. Gone"

0:00 Meditation (improv) 4:08 Mr. Gone 7:20 Andrew Renfroe solo 9:05 Scott solo 10:16 Head out Kinsey Sessions presents a live performance of Weather Report’s “Mr. Gone,” recorded at The Baked Potato in Los Angeles. Featuring: Scott Kinsey – keyboards Andrew Renfroe – guitar Hadrien Feraud – bass Roni Kaspi – drums “Mr. Gone” has always fascinated me because it feels like a big band composition reimagined through synthesizers and electronics. Joe Zawinul was thinking orchestrally, creating sections, textures, and ensemble interplay in ways that were unlike anything else happening at the time. Decades later, it still sounds fresh. This performance also marked Roni Kaspi’s first appearance at The Baked Potato. Recorded live at The Baked Potato, Los Angeles. Subscribe for more performances from the Kinsey Sessions.
