V.S.O.P. (group)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
V.S.O.P. was an American jazz quintet consisting of Herbie Hancock (piano, keyboards, synthesizers and vocals), Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone and soprano saxophone), Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums) and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet and flugelhorn). The line-up was identical to the Miles Davis Quintet of the 1960s, with the only difference being Hubbard, rather than Davis, on trumpet.
V.S.O.P. was essentially a live band: it produced only one studio album (Five Stars in 1979) and four live albums.
