Three of the best musicians in jazz, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Cobham join forces in this unique Swiss reunion concert, recorded in 1984, that features Hancock's "Dolphin Dance" and "Eye of the Hurricane." JazzTimes described the video as "nothing short of breathtaking... In all, a classic!"

As alumni of Miles Davis, all three musicians contributed to the now recognizable sound of Miles Davis' musical vision.
