We have Zahili Gonzalez-Zamora on piano, please.

(audience cheers and applauds) Listen.

Lis... Let's try that again.

You're on television, okay?

You're going, you're on television, and people in Germany might be watching this thing.

(audience laughing) So let's, can we try, can...

Okay, let's, let's do it again.

(clears throat): Zahili Gonzalez-Zamora on piano.

(audience cheers and applauds loudly) Mm, nice-- okay, okay.

They can, yeah, yeah, they can hear.

They can hear it without, without microphones.

On bass, the one and only Mr. Dan Greenspan on bass.

You know?

(audience cheers and applauds) (audience cheering and hooting) Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yeah.

He did many records here with... By the way, before we, you know... Steve Langone on drums.

Come on, make it, you know... (audience cheers and applauds) ...as loud as he plays.

He doesn't play that loud, but, yeah.

(audience cheering and applauding) My name is Claudio Ragazzi, and once again, I appreciate, you know...

Okay.

(audience cheers and applauds) So, this is definitely... You know, the next tune we're playing, yeah, used to be called "15/16," right?

15, 16, 17, 18... No, it's not, it was, it's in, in the rhythm of 15/16.

And we were recording this at the studio last year, and we didn't know what the form was going to be.

So I, I'm driving to the studio, driving to the studio, and I'm talking to myself and to Siri.

You know, don't, don't... (audience laughing) Don't tell my wife, you know.

But...

So I'm, I called Siri, and I said, "Siri," you know, "I think I got it.

"This tune, this tune, we're going to start from the top, then it's..." I said, you know, "We do a solo, blah, blah, blah, we go to A, B, and then we go..." And then I get to the studio, right?

And I read my text.

And it says, "Going to A, going to B."

And then, "Carpool to Phoenix."

(audience laughs) (laughs): And I said, "What?

'Carpool to Phoenix'?

Arizona?"

I've been to Phoenix, you know?

And Steve here, my friend, who knows me for many years, and understands my English, says, "No, what it, what you meant to say was, 'Da capo to fine.'"

(audience laughs) Da capo means "to the top," to fine, "to the end."

(audience laughing) So, this tune, we call it... From "15/16," we're calling it what?

"Carpool to Phoenix."

AUDIENCE: "Carpool to Phoenix."

(audience cheers and applauds) And we have to, we have to give a big round of applause, first to Steven, our wonderful... You know, first, you know.

(audience cheers and applauds) You know, transcribing that terrible... You know.

And also to Siri, you know.

(audience laughs) This is, this is... Siri, we love you.

One, two, three, and... (song begins) (piano and guitar playing melody) (guitar playing lead) (piano takes lead) (guitar resumes lead) (earlier melody resumes) Yeah!

(song continues) (song continues) (song continues) (piano playing with guitar) (piano takes lead) (earlier melody resumes) (band pauses, audience applauding) (song ending) (song ends, audience applauding) (audience cheers and applauds) So, this is "Lost Ballad," and "Lost Ballad" was a ballad that I wrote many, many years ago.

And then I thought that I, you know, it's not a big deal, I'd lost it, and then I found it just before we recorded the album, and then we record it.

(audience laughing) So, uh, please enjoy it, thank you.

(audience laughing, applauding) (guitar and bass begin slowly and gently) (song continues) (percussion and piano begin) (song continues) (piano takes lead) (guitar takes lead) (guitar resumes melody) (bass takes lead) (song continues) (guitar and piano take lead) (guitar playing lead) (song continues) (song continues) (piano takes lead) (song continues) (song continues) (mouthing) (guitar takes lead) (song continues) (song continues) (song continues) (piano and guitar playing melody) (guitar takes lead) (transition playing, tempo slows) (piano takes lead) (volume increases) (guitar takes lead) (song continues) (song continues) (earlier melody resumes) (tempo slowing) (piano playing earlier melody) (song ending) (audience applauding) Thank you so much, thank you.

Uh, I'll tell you thank you for, for the players, thank you for you.

And, uh, the next tune is a tune that was written, eh, many years ago, actually.

Many years ago, um, Danilo Pérez was a... - (whoops softly) - ...a cura... Yeah, give it to Danilo, yeah.

Was curating a, um, a jazz series in Philadelphia.

And was, the idea was, how Coltrane had influenced other cultures, right?

And I wrote this tune that is a mixture of, um, some ideas coming from, you know, from the master, and, and the rhythm is actually based on a very famous, a, you know, Piazzolla tune, the "Libertango."

- (claps): Whoo!

- You know, which is a, you know, which is a, a really, a really great rhythm.

So it's a combination of, imagine, if you can imagine, eh, Coltrane and, and, you know, and, and Astor, eh, you know, jamming in heaven, something like that, yeah.

(audience laughs) I mean, we're, we're trying.

We're trying-- we'll try, we'll try to imagine with you, okay?

Uh, let's do it.

And we're gonna be closing... (audience cheers and applauds) We're gonna be closing, we're gonna be closing this set with a tune that is called "Perpetuo"-- "Perpetual," right?

Anyway, we have, we have more, but, um... (audience cheers, laughs) So depending... "Perpetuo," okay?
