Affirmation - Norman Brown @ NAMM 2013 (Smooth Jazz Family)

[@thequietrevolution3404]

One of my favorite all time tunes. Hard to believe critics gave George Benson's "Breezin'" album just a "C" rating back in 1976.

[@robmorrison1043]

If that don't tell you all you need to know about critics, then?

[@Tee_Dawg1]

@@robmorrison1043 Right!

[@texasvice1]

It's amazing how you see these artist playing their craft at the the conventions and everyone walks these guys like they are homeless musicians who are in the street playing for pennies. The mentality of some people (you know what I mean) are totally amazing. I see the same reaction daily as i head for the elevator at work. If they knew anything about musicians they would know that was indeed Norman Brown a well accomplished musician.!

[@driesduyck469]

your damn right

[@PLMachadoLuces]

texasvice1 Here in Washington DC is the same fucked up attitude towards great guitarist

[@sugarandspice2136]

It's awesome seeing/listening to Norman play a George song ☺

[@baldy555]

George played it but I believe it was originally written and played by the visually handicapped Jose Feliciano.

[@DLBlckwl]

@@baldy555 Wow, all my life did not know that. Much, much respect to Feliciano!

[@alniadruoj5545]

Norman is great but the other brother ain' t too shabby either --- great performance by both.... so much talents.... Affirmation one of my all time favorite song!

[@thomasknight2863]

Hi Norman Brown, I think that you are one of the best Jazz guitarists out today bruh. We in the Jazz playing community have to give respect where it's due, thank you for so many great sounding song my friend.

[@ezmonnee]

Super Great Footage...Norman Brown is one of the Best Ever....Peace

[@dccoleman1497]

Unbelievable, The people walking around him absolutely clueless to know there's a master in their present. Wow..

[@timporter6775]

They're both killing it! Monster players!

[@darrylbandle2269]

Norman Brown, just a shout pit to say I love your music brother. I had the privelage of seeing you once with Jonathan Butler on a sunset cruise on the Hudson River. Probably one of the best days of my life besides getting married to my honey.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Are those souless people in the back ground green screen? If i was there and saw Norman playing guitar i'd be right at the front of the crowd to watch.

[@chafungwa]

No better words to describe them. Zombies almost

[@bees.2546]

Magnificent Norman Brown! Wonderful memories...loving, am loving it...from Brazil!

[@SuperBass1964]

Excellent video! Jamming with Norman Brown had to be the coolest thing ever!

[@abuyco]

One of the few guitar players that bring a performance to the game while being technically amazing on the guitar...

[@kevinrhinehart9468]

Were they playing at a deaf person convention? Not ONE person even notices them? OUTRAGEOUS!

[@pobinr]

Classic off a classic album, played so well

[@kwiddall]

I was standing next to the camera guy for this shoot and there were barely 5-6 people watching...4 feet away....It was all so laid back, unpretentious. I have some Norman Brown recordings, but didn't recognize him right away. 'Cool moment in time.

[@MichaelGodinho]

Norman is the man!!!

[@gbcello]

The people in the background annoy me

[@billscott5878]

George Barraza They're to stupid !

[@235buz]

Do you know what NAMM is?

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

They are green screen

[@rogermcgee1]

Affirmation that Norman is among the great ones.

[@npt2vt2co]

Those nerds in the background should be doing nothing but sitting in front of these 2 legends and admiring and enjoying this sweet music.

[@shaneromero1167]

They are oblivious to what's happening! what a shame...

[@alblack3425]

LOL was thinking the same thing, imagine how many people would love to have been were they are standing.

[@mikebynes3720]

they only in their world, nothing exist around them

[@dygksdl]

@@shaneromero1167 oii8ㅑㅑㅗㅑㅑㅑㅗ

[@PaavoLammikko]

Obviously those people are there to check out GUITARS...

[@enochbrown8178]

Wow, what a treat, man. Wonderful playing, guys!!!

[@rsimmons41407]

Is this guitar heaven?

[@angelabramlett5426]

Jazz relaxing an smooth. Song by one of Jazz Greats. Mr. George Benson.

[@view351]

Norman Brown and Gregg(The Happy Guitar) Haynes.

[@GuitarmanChase]

thats not Happy. But Happy is dope. I met the guy with the blue guitar about 5 years ago and he was down to earth and real cool. But two different people

[@michaelunity7796]

Would love to have been there.

[@markjohnson-sl9qf]

Very nice. But why the fake background?

[@gmkubancsek]

phenomenal - both guitarists are splendid. however this song is a Jose Feliciano song that George Benson did in 1976 on Breezin'. Fantastic interpretation.

[@josephovermyer9276]

Thank you

[@colinsobers1862]

Colin Doc' Sobers (docsobers on KZbin). I'm a former student of Norman. We meet at GIT 1992. Thanks for asking.

[@jrock2945]

...and --- i'd like to hear more from Doc Sobers! Very talented musician in his own right!

[@huy_gtr108]

Norman is well-known but who is play blue guitar his sound very clean.

[@LaFayta]

Took a while for the blue guitar to get his footing...then it was pretty cool...Norman's the man!

[@gusmartins1660]

The branches from George Benson's musical tree are everywhere. From really established players like Norman Brown and others all across the globe just have been so heavily influenced by him. The Smooth Jazzers have made a cottage industry out of his sound. Can't think of a finer tribute to one of the world's great guitarists.

[@baldy555]

But it was popularised (and probably written by) Jose Feliciano

[@5t3r3054x]

​@@baldy555totally true, but I can safely say there are more people who knows George Benson' version better than the original José Feliciano's piece

[@Mickeyray7]

If I am in a guitar store and somebody really good starts jammin' like this, I'm at attention and all ears! The zombies in the background must be stoned on Klonopin. By the way....that Native American guy wandering around looks like the actor who starred with Charles Bronson in the White Buffalo movie.

[@MsLoveofmoney]

Nice! I'm feelin this. Love it!

[@nyasha_music]

Whos the other brother playing with norman brown

[@gordonlawson]

Grateful that I found this....Inspirational, Wish I was there. When are you guys playing at the Hard Rock in Hollywood. I'd go. PS: WTF is wrong with the music cretans in the background. What goobers. The only thing I can come up with is that you guys photoshop'd them into the background LOL

[@SeerTrulth]

I have an Eastman 810CE "Uptown" on the advice of Norman's then technical assistant. I've never looked back. Norman didn't have one then, and his man was arranging this partnership with Eastman at the time. Go Kraig!

[@guitarczar15]

great jam, what a treat to watch

[@ArtisticDreams2U]

Really? Norman Brown is playing and no one is staring in his face!!!!! I would have took a picture! What is this world coming to? smile.

[@kennyken330]

[@sizwendlanzi8181]

If I was there, I'd we paying attention! Norman has killa techniques!!! And dope jam session!

[@ehm2943]

Omg its norman brown🙀

[@NickLongoMusic]

Totally agreeing with the comments here. All the people are clueless in the background. You missed it, people!!!

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Nice...

[@davenaus3469]

Really, these guys are doing this tune and those deaf people don't even know whats going on and who they are in the midst of? I would have brought in a small drum kit and laid down the drums to it!

[@farrington7971]

The people are background for the video, they were told not to look.into the cameras, If that was NAMM and Norman Brown was playing you bet your sweet ass I would be right next to.him

[@zayamiah]

Yo I thought this Norman Brown n E-40 at first 🤣

[@ayunkemayor]

cool

[@jamesmagana4327]

Dont use a pick its cheating ha ha .. love that guitar.

[@williewilliams6714]

Who cares about the people in the background.... you have people in the front listening to them.....The camera should have been turned the other way...

[@Keyboardman88]

The people in the background have no clue as to who is playing. How sad.

[@CharmelMooreJoiner]

THAT IS HOT!!!!!!!

[@dycestudio5562]

you right like look at this guitar and watch me playing these two untuned notes

[@33karamy]

american mentality very apathetic ,,,only the musicians they understand and apreciate the music

[@kylerice4314]

[@rockeye]

The other guy swears he's on Norman's level. Nope bruh.

[@baldy555]

Someone pls tell this ignorant soul who that other guitarist is!
