Yellowjackets - Can anyone name that tune for me?

[Painy]

I've just recently started to appreciate Jazz after years of not being interested in it at all and most recently I've really been enjoying checking out a lot of the Yellowjackets' stuff on you tube.
There's a piece in this video that starts at 24:55 in that I'd like to know the name of if anyone can help me at all?

It is my favorite Yellowjackets tune, Geraldine. Studio version on The Spin, and a brilliant live version on Live Wires.

Who's on bass? This is obviously post-Jimmy H

Thanks for that! It really is a stunning price of music.
As I say, I'd never really appreciated jazz properly in the past and I guess my perception of it was that the notes all seemed a bit random so I couldn't find in it what I thought a melody should sound like.
Again, I'm really starting to 'get it' now anyway but this piece completely blows that old perception away - so melodic and emotive!

That's Dane Alderson on Bass.
Great groover and very melodic when soloing.

Geraldine is a lovely tune.
There are a few concert versions knocking around on YouTube.

It's Dane Alderson who is now playing with them after taking over from Felix Pastorius. With a bit of practice he could be quite a good bass player one day .


Beaten to it!

Some real old Yellowjackets that you might enjoy, with some lovely playing all round.

From the 'Casino Lights' Album. 'Monmouth College Flight Song'.
Terrific solo Guitar from Robben Ford and grooving Bass from Jimmy Haslip.

And 'Revelation'. Although a YJ tune, for some reason a couple of different players on this TV version. A pair of wasters called Alex Acuna (Drums) & Will Lee (Bass).
