Blue Monk with Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter (1986)

Jazz legends Herbie Hancock & Ron Carter perform at the Institute's inaugural concert "A Tribute to Thelonious Monk" in 1986.

[@RonCarterBassist]

Thank you for sharing... Looking forward to being back on the bandstand with Herbie later this month.

[@lettuce7378]

I love your playing in this!

[@sebastianL423]

Great to know that both of these legends are still alive

[@dcj991]

This is the best camera work I've ever seen on a bassist

[@RonCarterBassist]

I appreciated it! So glad to see the music is still appreciated

[@mezzasegolas]

@@RonCarterBassist besides the camera work, the combination of rock solid groove and heart felt improvisation is unmatched. Many have tried, most have failed. Ron is the 10/10 bassist (and human being, if you've ever had the chance to talk to him)

[@RonCarterBassist]

@@mezzasegolas WOW! I am blushing - thank you!

[@TAndrackeH]

@@RonCarterBassist You know you have hard core fans all over. Blush away, brilliant man.

[@eduardoblancas8452]

A question: The blue lights has had a clever significate with Thelonius Monk title?

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Ron Carter has been in Stockholm 2021. Of course I missed him. Has to comfort me with this.

[@svensvensson6705]

Va fasen!? När då?

[@jamesnewberry2945]

the Kings have spoken Thank you

[@4980cbs]

Ron Carter always amazing!

[@jhoylangoncalves3127]

Ron is so sick, man

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Wonderful.

[@HancockInstitute]

Thank you! Cheers!

Nobody can walk a bass like Ron Carter. And damn these guys are good together!

[@brucescott4261]

William Mitchell .. .Ray Brown, Milt Hinton, Oscar Pettiford, Israel Crosby. The original bass walkers.

@@brucescott4261 Thanks for the reminder. We need to add Willie Dixon in there too.

[@bustabass9025]

Paul Chambers, man!

[@jazzbrew68]

[@charlesbarry971]

Different from the versions I normally hear but still a very good performance. Two legends, still alive and performing at the highest level.

[@HancockInstitute]

Agreed, thanks Charles!

[@richardmandy7615]

Herbie did Glastonbury last year, and is still strutting and grooving with the keyboard he wears around his neck.. he was brilliant through out the 1?hour set. He’s 83

[@riveredgeman]

Isn’t it happiness 💥❤️‍🔥💥

[@HancockInstitute]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@DaniloAraimo]

[@grantizmirlian8979]

Herbie channeling Wynton K.

[@miphka66]

Looks like Ron is playing Percy Heath’s bass

[@joaopedroferrari9120]

Muito foda

[@HancockInstitute]

Thanks for watching and for your kind comment, João!

[@joegiotta7580]

Is the bass mic thirty feet away?

[@stevenperren1678]

I’ve always felt that Herbie had a raw deal. He was in the Miles quintet which had : The best jazz musician of all time The second best jazz musician of all time whilst also being the best saxophonist of all time The greatest bass player of all time The greatest drummer of all time Herbie is not the greatest pianist of all time But he sure as hell is one of them

[@9Iamthewalrus]

Did the guy just introduce him as Ron Clarter?

[@scotthillman4603]

Holy smokes that tasty

[@catherinemalian9558]

Saxva

[@IamUncledeuce]

with introduction by Mr. Bill Cosby (noted jazz affectionato).

[@OnSugarHill]

He's also a date rape aficionado

[@pereztube2]

Quaalude aficionado

[@Almorph]

Did he just said "Ron Clarter"? .......

[@richardvaladez4796]

Sounds like Bill Cosby mc'ing. He has a weird speech impediment.

[@oscargarciamiguel6745]

Metió una letra más, la L. De Carter se convirtió en Lovezno en la mitad de la interpretación 😂😂

[@franciscothomazini4831]

O Herbie Hancok aí estragou tudo.

[@nicolasdegiosa287]

2:18 THE L I C C

[@davidram361]

You can fool all of the people....

[@MDsteeler1]

Videos good. They miked the piano great but they did a terrible job miking Ron.

[@jiyujizai]

ハービーの演奏はユニーク。🙄

[@HancockInstitute]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@sunnyinsalalah]

Not the way Monk played. Too fast, too smooth.

[@kieronjohnson8834]

Unless you're Monk it's always going to be too fast, too smooth. It's not Monk, get over it.

[@oscargarciamiguel6745]

Para eso es jazz.Libertad para hacer una versión más lenta o rápida 😉

[@richardgould-saltman8863]

Disagree; even though he’s not copying Monk’s style, he’s got the rhythmic and harmonic eccentricity going on, under the layer of butteriness.

[@bodynsoul5243]

F??

[@sharonmerits5170]

Chet Baker

[@Zacharysandilands]

?

[@porterhall27]

what about him?
