Just chillin' drinking some wine, hanging out with Quincy and Herbie, 2 of the greatest musical minds ever. And on top of it, a room full of the best synthesizers ever made. Wow.

If this was filmed today, you’d see a disinterested person in the background scrolling through Twitter on their phone.

Wow. Its easy to sometimes write the tones off as "cheesy" and "80s", but those grooves are NASTY. Two geniuses at work...

Touch screens in 1984? Herbie really was ahead of his time...

fairlight is the great grandfather of Reason, Fruity Loops, Ableton, Logic and pro tools

If I could play like that, I would never leave home

"The funk will prevail!" -Quincy Jones

Wow! Touch screen with a pen. Deep! Two "ahead of their time bros." at work. The room would have exploded if Dexter Wansel stepped in, Stevie stopped by, and Prince wandered into the room. Those are just a few of the "keyboard geniuses" of the electronic synth age!!

FUNKY PARADISE

Herbie is the grooviest keyboardist ever

"A synthesiser can be a tool to really hurt people's ears and interfere with their lives or it can be a tool to make a really nice sounding instrument that can really affect people in a positive way. It all depends on the person who is using them.

THIS is what makes KZread worth having in the world!!!! And Herbie started out as one of the BEST pianists playing for Miles and Blue Note records. What growth!!

Anybody else notice Quincy is drinking wine and chewing gum? ..Dude has

The little lick at the beginning was straight gold.

Boy, Herbie sure can articulate when he talks. Most musicians fall apart in front of a camera, Herbie speaks like hes talking right to you. Awesome video, man I wish I had all of those vintage synths and samplers.

Nice combination, producer, composer, ochestra leader and coolest dude on the block, Quincy Jones and one of the best keyboard players ever, Herbie Hancock. And the most underrated synthesizer ever, the Fender Chroma Polaris and the most difficult of them all, the CMI Fairlight. It took experienced producers like Trevor Horn and Herbie Hancock a dedicated engineer to operate it. But the digital-analog converters on this machine were second to none (even up to today's standards), providing it a very rich sound. You could make an enitre album on a Fairlight. And many did, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Trevor Horn, Art of Noise, Thomas Dolby, and many others.

Herbie was trappin' before Timbaland and that ASR10/ Motif, Pharell, Ryan Leslie stuff. Hearing Quincy and Herbie laughing and being so giddy about new technology during that grooving jam session is priceless. Pure musical enjoyment. These guys are LEGENDS of music. Such a sick video! Thanks for sharing! That

This is one of my favorite through back vids. 2 greats for one thing. And on top of that enjoying technology back when it was taboo to do such. Herbie was so ahead of his time with realizing what was to be. He was an artist that could be playing with a classical Jazz trio one night and the next night do some interstellar Funk vibes. Open minded with music and the art. Ahead of it all to this day. And still doing great pieces for the Planet.

I like to come back to this every once in a while. One of my favourite inspirations for both music, and general creative positivity. Charming!
