About this recording
This is the (near) complete Playboy Jazz Festival, 1980, Day-2. Day-2 is complete, but without Herbie Hancock show.
I've made promises to two of these musicians in the band not to release this show. It has been in circulation before,
so that might be an alternate avenue. Or the following DIME show might be a suitable replacement.

Herbie Hancock and the Monster Band- Boston, Mass. 1980 July 5- 33rd anniversary upload, fresh transfer from the master tape, happy 5th of July, with samples
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=456440

Here's what I removed from the release. You may be able to find it elsewhere.

Act-9: Herbie Hancock
Length: 75 Minutes
Herbie Hancock: Keyboards; Sheila Escovedo ("Sheila E."): Percussion; Wah Wah Watson: Guitar; Michael Brecker:
Sax; Randy Brecker: Trumpet; Nate Ginsberg: Keyboards; Victor Conti: Bass; Shannon Christopher: Saxophone, Vocals
Trades Allowed Yes
Ratings Sound: B+
