Comment
The last track features Carlos' band along with:
Wayne Shorter - sax
Chic Corea - keys
John McLaughlin - guitar
Dennis Chambers - drums
Herbie Hancock - keys
Ravi Coltrane - clarinet

Much of the conversation during the talking portions is in French. Carlos, or course, speaks English, but John and Claude speak in French. The duet played by Carlos and John appears to be entirely impromptu - as Carlos was told by the MC (who was referring to a guitar), "There is another Carlos if you want to play." The blues jam with Buddy Guy is some of the most inspired Santana guitar playing I've seen in a long time - really getting back to his roots: good, hardcore guitar jamming. The last tune has an all-star cast of musicians, but really mostly features the Wayne Shorter and Ravi Coltrane. John McLaughlin never solos and in fact, he's playing a solid body guitar that I'm sure is not one of his guitars.

The studio portion of the French television show "Trafic Musique" was filmed on July 22, 2004 and broadcast on August 1, 2004.
