[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

Great "band". Toss Panos makes the rhythm section blossom, he is just great. Bill Evans plays monster jazz funk licks and Robben Ford is second to none. Incredible that we can just go on You Tube and within a click can hear all these great live concerts.

[@garyssimo]

I'm a u tube a holic and now sport a masters from UT university in music and nutrition.

[@craiglacour8887]

This sax player is from another planet. I have never heard of him but he can play his butt off.

[@andrewkarp5067]

Bill Evans! He’s played with Mike Stern, Steps Ahead and Miles. Unfortunate name for him though.

[@ChromaticHarp]

Ow The Fuck could you never have heard of Bill Evans? He’s been dominating the scene since the early 80’s!

[@ClarenceHW]

Blues is so f'n amazing... the basis for so much music, from a cheap old harmony guitar payed with the neck of a broken wine bottle to what we see here with the tones of Robben Ford and the all-out jazzerness of Bill Evans. So exciting. Thanks for posting this!

[@mannymonteiro]

TOSS PANOS is a Greek-American drummer who has played or recorded with Dweezil Zappa, Sting, Steven Stills, Paul Rodgers, Michael Landau, Robben Ford, Toy Matinee, Jude Cole, Mike Keneally, John Goodsall, Steve Vai, Mark Hart, Mel Torme, Peter Himmelman, Andy Summers, Cliff Richard, Vonda Sheppard and Eric Burdon.

[@andyokus5735]

Thanks!

[@donharrold1375]

Robben sings so well here. The guy has come a long way vocally and in terms of song writing. He’s the complete package.

[@kevinmurphy4595]

Ive known Robben since 78 when my buddy bassist George Hawkins Jr introduced me to him....yes he has come a long way but as you know he was always "special" Cheers

[@jimmaculate3802]

what? cliches? "just a matter of time"

[@robertboyle5370]

Robben is one of the tastiest guitarists ive ever heard

[@cliffirddelbridge2810]

That's a great story Sean. I saw Robben first in '73 then 100x before the '80s.

[@williamjackson1819]

All these guys are stellar performers melding together into cosmic gloriousness.😊

[@jorbv8]

Toss Panos is a fukn great drummer man, I really dig his style!

[@okiepita50t-town28]

Just the right mix of blues and jazz for my taste. Excellent band.

[@hexo-mobius]

Toss Panos is a monster. I saw his a decade ago at a little club on Ventura Blvd called La Ve Lee Jazz Club. He murdered the drum! Excellent well rounded drummer. Definitely one the world's best drummers.

[@jimissun]

Glad to find a connection between jazz and blues... Music is like the universe...

[@claudemiropacheco]

Robben Ford is extremely underrated. The guy can play. I remember many years ago down in Brazil, driving to work in the morning and they played "You cut me to bone". It cut me to my bones. Have been a fan ever since.

[@jimmythebold589]

melodious and great tone.

[@leighsayers2628]

Thats spoonfull .. awesome !!!

[@MoussaMusic]

Amazing music, and just to mention something outside the show, the camera man, or camera crew, are doing an AMAZING job! showing all aspects of techniques, great variations, and respects all players efforts and touches during the whole show! wish all video to be take this way in all great shows like this!

[@JasonFerguson1283]

No matter where you are and Robben and his band is going to deliver the goods! Thank You!!

[@RickMcCargar]

Cannot believe I haven't seen this until January 2020. Holy hell that was great!

[@davidhealy7743]

This is simply Remarkable in the most of what Can be said positively for this collaboration of magic folk. Great Folk Music.

[@waynejulien9140]

Those guys are really great! I was bowled over by the bassist! The gloves...omg!!!

[@williamlenihan7536]

Etienne Mbappe, from Cameroon!

[@SenatorBanana]

@@williamlenihan7536 so many incredible bassists from cameroon!

[@maurorossirouge]

Bella Band, è sempre molto emozionante ascoltare musicisti di questo calibro!! Grandi!!

[@jamminwithjambo7729]

Ryan Cavanaugh....Whew!!! More than a Bangoist +++ Slays on Supernatural.

[@arquioctavos]

Someone else thought it was bill evans pianist? XD

[@lobato87]

he came back to us 30 years later

[@paniscuspan1545]

Bill Evans, pianiste (1929-1980) Bill Evans (William Evans) is a saxophonist (tenor and soprano) of American jazz, born on February 9, 1958 in Clarendon Hills (Illinois).

[@gerovonrandow3897]

love 'em both

[@louiscarrillo5873]

nope

[@leomilani_gtr]

I thought too... And I googled it: "the" Bill Evans, the pianist, died in 1980... Lol

[@brucetribe3912]

I love this group, coolest, Robbin Ford and your friends, lyrics, peace, Jazz/ blues/ fusion, your custom made instruments, coolest drumming, original syncopation, bass strong cool, Mile’s Davis, St. Louis, banjo, and sax, thank you, utube, Bruce Tribe, the northern Canada. March 25, 2019. Amen.

[@stevereinecke8972]

Banjo player is absolutely slaying it!

[@9UaYXxB]

The bass player is stellar. So is Evans on saxophones and keyboards

[@ricardooliveirademello9222]

Bill Evans is wonderful. Good jazz!

[@stevecomins7837]

whoa, when i saw those gloved fingers on bass i went out of my mind.

[@williamlenihan7536]

Etienne Mbappe, from Cameroon

[@andyokus5735]

Maybe his hands are cold.

[@ericgolitsyn2930]

if not for Bill Evans in his life, Ford would not listen!but the great Evans did this concert with the coolest bassist and drummer!

[@hanovergreen4091]

1:40 - Bob had always knew he could play, but tonight, he went onstage with just one string and became a jazz bass legend. :) Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@garyssimo]

I think this is the best I ever heard him play! RF equals really fantastic.

[@notpopebuthope]

... excellent in every single second! Great! SALUT!

[@harpothehealer]

This is really great, I was always into Robbin blue line etc but never focussed on this band before. It's Blues harp these days for me, I was a Bebop and hard Bop, and blues sax player until serious injury struck but Bills work here with Robben and the band is terrific. It holds down well and within everything, the blues is always hovering all the time. it just shows in 2020 I discover this and really dig it. Thanks for the post

[@chriszitta]

great musicians and great music. really like what they are doing

[@johnmayercoverbrasil]

Now that's music with substance

[@jacquesvandermeer6668]

Robbens first tune solo reminds me of some of the tones and licks in Buzzy Feiten’s solo with Paul Butterfield on “Everything’s Gona Be All Right””at woodstock

[@ChromaticHarp]

Yeah the part they left out of the fuckin movie!

[@mustafa3511]

11:59 this lick,out of tune, was DELIGHTFULLY AWESOME

[@matthewe.johnson1760]

😂

[@TeleTonemonkey]

Sounds like a sub Dom into a key change… to my ears anyway.

[@bernardtheillaucher9478]

Blue Robben, so fine, so much feeling ! Thanks a lot for share !!!

[@yvanguillerault9298]

C'est un vrai plaisir de voir Bill Evans avec Robben Ford , l like it !

[@PhilipSorensen]

[@kevintaylor8832]

Excelente música

[@kubo648]

Man, James May on guitar, stellar!

[@kevintaylor8832]

Robben, I've just recently discovered your music. I love it. It's pure. It's good. Great sax & drums, bass! I'd love to come to a show sometime. I'm in Tyler, Tx. Holler next time your in the area.

[@9UaYXxB]

Yes, I'm sure he'll notify you sir

[@rabokel]

Great tone on Robben's part, even without his beloved Dumble. I like the less compressed, slightly amp distorted tone, so much more expressive , to me anyway.

[@shawnbruce6934]

These Guys.

[@seanhennessey9869]

monster music....Robben is officially part of the Dick Clark People Who Never Look Older club....I saw him when he was 16 years old, his brother´s band featuring Robben opened up for Chuck Berry....they also backed Berry and when Chuck magnimously gave young Robben a solo, Robben took 2 rounds of blazing rock riffing, Berry got all bent out of shape..

[@andyokus5735]

That's funny. CB was an asshole.

[@adamchafetz2986]

That is so cool, robben always been one of my very favorites!

[@voxac30withstrat]

Yes its surprising Chuck let someone else take the spotlight. He was difficult to work with apparently. He had a run in with Keith Richards as well. I think punches were thrown

[@guggarnir]

Good music - so similar to what John Scofield is all about. Beautiful stuff.

[@bobdeluxeandtheideals1356]

🔥🔥🔥

[@joseantoniorobledotorres2520]

Good! In 2010.

[@Napoostoo]

Myyyy god !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@janubbelohdehenningsen4190]

yes I did think it was the pianist, but I am gladly surprised... nice stuff... getting jazzy now!

[@xaviergostanian6398]

Vive le jazz !!!!

[@dasilvajohnful]

if I could choose a guitar master I would choose Robben ford

[@craigacker1709]

Would Love to see this band Now!

[@janetmcevoy6542]

yep so would I.

[@osiruskat]

This Bill Evans along with Ford played with Miles Davis. Bill Evans also played in the 80's Mahavishnu Orchestra. Toss Panos has a history in rock bands playing with Ronnie Montrose and the Zappa brothers to name a few. The gloved bassist, Etienne, has been with John McLaughlin for years as well as a who's who in jazz fusion.

[@walterreed9187]

osiruskat The legendary pianist, Bill Evans, first played with Miles Davis on the album, Kind Of Blue, in 1959. The sax player, unless he is related to the original, should change his name.

[@jamesprice6381]
