[@abara887]

John Patitucci. What a bassist. ❤

[@Adam-fj3tu]

This ones always something to return to whenever I feel like I’ve lost some love for music. Always an inspiration. RIP Chick

[@LateshaRenee]

@Ronin Adrian We don't. Don't ruin a heartfelt comment with the nonsense

[@kyvss]

how can you have such clean bending on a bass (double bass? sorry english is not my first language) ? everythings incredible but that just gave me chills.

[@LuisFlores-xr5bu]

True

[@nilskavanagh]

I feel the exact same way

[@prahas777]

Exactly.

[@cbro777]

God......this makes me happy to be alive....listening, smiling, delighting, wowing, envying, crying, wishing I had a third of this talent. Chick and Bobby are amazing.

[@freeman8759]

Jazz + mullet = The Jullet. You can't stop it.

[@moochincrawdad]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PotatoeChipz]

Chick and his ability to listen and respond and learn from, has and always will be his best attribute. Miles knew it.

[@luke125]

Po Tato Exactly

[@sylviaonder540]

RIP Chick Corea, what a listener, what a musician, what a guy!

[@loum6764]

Amen

[@ericsalmela9513]

I saw Bobby in concert in Tampa maybe five or so years ago. Chick was in the audience sitting in the seat in front of me. I didn't realize until Bobby introduced him and welcomed him to the stage. What an awesome concert. Living legends!

[@TheRealPastorPeace]

Learned So Much About Music In 15 Minutes

[@LuisFlores-xr5bu]

More than in many so called lessons, this is the power that ear the top musicians have

[@jazzFABRYk]

I was there in 1988 and it was incredible! If I remember correctly, the concert started with a delay because Chick was not satisfied with the piano tuner. RIP and thanks for the music.

[@bigPianist99]

That build-up at 12:20 is one of the greatest moments in the history of Jazz. The interaction, the creativity, the tension- damn, I am an adult man and I wet my pants everytime I get to hear this passage!

[@SeerTrulth]

Best vocal control and confidence I've ever seen.

[@PotatoeChipz]

he's pretty amazing.

[@yuhengchen2303]

the way he uses his range is amazing

[@juanjlopez3566]

try to listen Youn Sun Nah, you will allucinate

[@cacampbell3654]

I was also amazed by Corea's control and confidence as well!

[@theopaopa1]

the best singer of the century, of course.

[@josiah566]

Watching these musicians interact is like watching two professors talk about the height of their works with gusto. I do not understand everything they say to each other but I can understand the energy and power of the exchange not to mention the passion that comes with what they do.

[@rafaelbak7499]

Only for that professors are mostly twats and they seems so cool about that.

[@philippekaisin1344]

Autumn leaves,par ces deux là,c 'est du délire,du génie!Du contrepoint!La voix,l 'étendue,le son!Ils s'entendent comme larrons en foire!Et quel bassiste,doublé d'une batteuse aérienne,le tout soupoudré d 'un swing intense!Bobby leader!Quel pied!

[@stevewilliams2240]

This is the most amazing and weird jazz improvisation I've seen

[@tinaazzara8595]

The MacSo what do you mean by goo goo?

[@danielkhan1]

@The MacSo Please answer. What does goo goo mean.

[@rachelschannel16]

is Bobby McFerrin even real though like I'm crying

[@MrJoeylo]

He Is Amazing! Cry if you want to. It's ok .. I did. : - )

[@chrisbranch231]

He's eccentric!!!😁

[@karlachavez4519]

Eso k jajajajaj

[@kibbles-_-6027]

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@LuisFlores-xr5bu]

Same

[@WikiMulya]

RIP CHICK👑💔

[@wolfiesown]

Bobby‘s vocals are out of this world as usual. And with such musicians around him he can shine even brighter. Insane talent combined 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@essilfie]

That breakdown from 7:10 - 7:40 going into the bass solo is one of the most special musical moments captured on video

[@user-ll7zc4hw6g]

I was lucky to attend a 5-day workshop with Bobby McFerrin and his then-vocal group, Voicestra, at the Omega Institute about a dozen years ago. It was like being in the presence of a not-yet-ascended master whose prayers were all musical vocalizations, which we were led to participate in. There were professional musicians from all over the world who'd flown in for it; some couldn't even speak English, but they understood the music. I'm a total amateur with no professional aspirations, but I've always wanted to be freer about singing than I had been, so I participated with gusto and mostly on-pitch. Five of the best days of my life. And twice a day, we sang w/Bobby - and yes, one of the songs we worked on was Autumn Leaves. But it never, ever sounded like this!

[@rrrockhard]

7:55... John is amazing and his talent is simply incredible.

[@1okanaganguy]

I heard Bobby say, once, that he visualized himself performing in front of huge appreciative audiences, without really knowing what instrument he was to be playing...

[@mizike36]

could anybody watch this without bursting into smiles?

[@kurtisblow311]

R. I.P. Chick corea 😔😪🙏

[@MuzoSTEIN]

Amongst the very finest renditions of Autumn Leaves I've ever heard - this is SPIRITUAL FLIGHT right there and then. I'd have flown home if I'd have been at this awesome concert on hearing this tune. THANK YOU!

[@loum6764]

Amen

[@jeworthy]

What a beautiful musical conversation... they shared their joy with us

[@alexandermeadow860]

That mullet is the only mistake I've ever seen Patitucci make.

[@KSTsonic]

and the shirt?

[@alexandermeadow860]

KSTsonic Haahah, I didn't even recognize that! Good catch.

[@Alistairvlog]

This comment killed me. Too freaking funny.

[@ivovenancio]

hahaha

[@StidjinPigeon]

hahahahahaha damn

[@TheDivayenta]

THIS is perfect intonation, singers. just wow.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

yup. how many more hours of "sing like the stars" exercises do i have to do before i get that , PLEEEESE!???? answer: many, many ,many more, :( but it's fun to practice! ;)

[@MrJdsenior]

Collab made in heaven, to my ears...two of my favorites from different times in my life (obviously Chick MUCH earlier than Bobby). Has there ever been a voice more agile than Bobby's?

[@shamsheed1726]

Holy shit at 5:25 the goosebumps came on hard. Amazing vocal control aswel.

[@carolalaimo5056]

What a magnificent instrument! Bobby McFerrin’s voice.

[@MrWayneDouglas]

I love the whole performance, but especially John Patitucci's approach to this tune.

Bobby McFerrin has perfect pitch. Man can he scat! Chic and his band are sooooo cool.

[@SHADOWBEAR82763]

If you ran McFerrin's voice through AutoTune, it would come out sounding the same, he's just that good.

[@Dypah]

I have watched this SO many times.

[@julianmitchell3035]

Their interaction reminds me of how I interact with my friend. He's a guitarist and I play sax, so we would trade 4's with each other and just delve into chords not even in the chart. It was great.

[@DoctorJezz]

It's not often as you grow up that you continue to get your mind blown by new performances, few and far between nowadays; I lived through this and it passed me by completely until now. Colour me blown away - thanks so much for posting. Really appreciate it. Superlative performance.

[@laurahegfield1435]

completely captures the joy and color of autumn… creativity, virtuosity and pure playful delight!

[@reicejiru4133]

2018... still old gold time

[@JazzyZenBrotha]

Fantastic! This is exactly why Jazz is my favorite genre of music!

[@G1Z]

he's gotten so much better. true master of the craft. he now has his own languages where instead of only oo's and ee's he sounds like he's speaking a different tongue. think simlish lol. and some sound african, european, indian, asian. dude is a genius. and his intonation is so much better now, he truly sounds like an instrument, all notes are locked in pitch-wise.

[@louispaulroosen]

Holy shit, why wasn't I born yet!!! :( Best combo ever!!!

[@CasparLeones]

louis-paul Roosen My thoughts exactly.

[@63Baggies]

+louis-paul Roosen the beauty of being born at the exact time you were is that you have even more great art to absorb...

[@musamor75]

Here are three plus one gentlemen taking this golden oldie to town. I'd suggest that the critics get themselves an education. This is pretty sparkling sort of stuff. Good old Bobby is a mad driving force. A very enjoyable moment. Thank you for sharing Vladan.

[@danielappleton153]

Bobby is a mad genius of a musician, Chick Corea is a legend. Put them together & you get a wonderful alchemy. The critics don't know " bee from bulls - foot ", as my dad use to say.

[@GracielaMarthaQuinteros]

QUÉ MARAVILLOSO DÚO!!!! EL GENIO "MULTIINSTRUMENTISTA VOCAL"·, COMO LO LLAMO Y ESE PIANO INIGUALABLE!!!! A DISFRUTAR!!!

[@jeffreysiegel9125]

Bobby McFerrin is so phenomenally gifted! He goes way off the gragh and the chart! Thank you so much for posting this video!!!🕊☺💛

[@tatesherman8273]

Holy shit. The perfect combination of egregious trims and beyond brilliant music.

[@mrsub360]

Love the spontaneous changes into double time (be it full double time or just the changes in double time), so cool.

[@Piero2374]

MI EMOZIONO COME UN BAMBINO AD ASCOLTARE QUESTA PERFORMANCE! IL JAZZ E' QUESTO VERSATILITA', INNOVAZIONE, INTUIZIONE,GENIALITA', NON E' MAI LA SOLITA MINESTRA RISCALDATA.. ODDIO, E' ANCHE VERO CHE QUESTO E' POSSIBILE ANCHE E SOLO GRAZIE ALL'ENORME BRAVURA DEI MUSICISTI CHE IN QUESTA BAND E' DI UN LIVELLO ALTISSIMO!!!

[@tinaazzara8595]

This is awesome. It capitulates all that is jazz improvisation. Autumn Leaves by Johnny Mercer is a beautiful standard and this quartet dignifies it to the max.

[@MrJoeylo]

Bobby has always been my favorite jazz singer . Ever since "Return to Forever" Uh , oh,,, Just showed my age! LOL !!

[@crosswordqueen9]

A brilliant performance. Wow amazing! Wish i could see them live. So uplifting!

[@k123ason]

Voice improvisation, LOVE IT!!!

[@lethallama15]

I love this soo soo soo much!!!!

[@ChavaBahtIsrael]

Loved every minute of this especially the bass solo!

[@MrSafefred]

Guys, you are the best I have listened to for a long time. I really love abstract music. I t gives one a break form the drab of usual one. Bobby you are incredible

[@Csavarcsiga]

What a fantastic performance! Corea and Bobby are both geniuses not to mention the rythm section is also great! What a great amout of creative power they all bring to music with that joy and flow and easyness when they play like monsters! Amazing. that's music. But people stop makin' comments on their look... you have to just accept everyone looked bad in the 80's, that's a fact of life... Enjoy the music.

[@marpiza20]

these guys are amazing!!!!

[@MrJdsenior]

Always wanted to see a collab between these two musical geniuses. I knew it would be NUTS, and it is, in a very good way. I don't think that bass player knows what a bassist is "supposed" to do...and it's awesome.

[@brandoncarter3985]

Wow simply amazing!!!

[@arselkalemoglu1795]

Ah mannn! This is so damn good!!

[@juliabarbiero9226]

What an exquisite way of having fun! 😀 these people are CRAZY!😍👏

[@Vin4227]

Geniuses at work!! this deserves far more views!!!

[@BlackLoveBibleVids]

Oh my goodness. This is amazing!

[@gretadriana]

JUST FANTASTIC (Y)

[@Tatimarazzo]

Astonishing!! I'm in another different world after this! Love you all. Amazing combo ever!

[@brandom1953]

Great musical performance as always but kudos to the camera man's last shot where he is tight on Bobby, slowly pulls out and tilts down to Chick's hands racking focus with Bobby still in frame out of focus. A masterful shot.

[@Zapacito]

What amazing performance. All are awsome

[@DoktorAgan17]

Thanks for uploading! Amazing performance.

[@DLJStahl]

I love this. This whole thing smokes, sizzles, and does a slow burn.

[@JonGrandeMedia]

this is the greatest thing i've ever seen

[@alejandrobernabeu6731]

Te voy a extrañar, Chick.

[@sunandsnowmusic]

...one of my favorites!

[@jessicaigor751]

Gracias por compartirlo!!!

[@pameliemusic]

[@brianruskin9241]

Pure musical delight! An exciting and fun experience

[@zindiyen5692]

It's so perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@abdelmich]

Perfection !!

[@muromska]

incredible !!!

[@probnoblem]

Love each note these mad guys do. Keep in mind they swing in double. Mind blowing, jaw dropping, true master class.

[@chocolateganesh]

I WANNA LAUGH AND CRYYY FUCCCCKKKK

[@simonlewis1060]

magnificent musicianship all around

[@PonchoVazqueez]

I laughed so much with his interpretation. But I recognize that this is real music, and the best improvisation I have ever seen.

[@SetasBass08]

AMAZING!!

[@louisef.9137]

Totally excellent...wow!

[@pablotorres7436]

1988 'AUTUMN LEAVES' CON LA AKOUSTIC BAND DE CHICK COREA & BOBBY MCFERRIN: Actuaron varias veces Corea y McFerrin, grabando incluso un disco de piano y voz... Pero aquí está la Akoustic con Dave Weckl batería y John Patitucci contrabajo... La FUERZA que tuvieron fue IMPRESIONANTE... La canción francesa que se convirtió en uno de los jazz standards más tocados y conocidos (obligado casi para empezar a aprender a improvisar)... A Chick se lo extraña mucho... Pero dejó un legado inmenso y casi que para todos los gustos, por la variedad de formatos y estilos en los que tocó y grabó...🥁🎻🎹🎹🎙️🎶🎶❤️❤️

[@sibeloztan4553]

Chick Corea & Bobby McFerrin, they are really amazing, great musicians, we are so lucky:) Thank you very much!! my favorite after Bach and Mozart...

[@morebouncebassppe2611]

Beautiful...

Intemporal. Simplesmente, ARREPIANTE! Obrigado pela partilha.

[@clementtytube]

The Patitucci tone..... Killer man...!!!

[@Daniel_Montenegro]

Even though my ears are not trained to fully understand this genius performance right now, I still appreciate it =P

[@jazzbirdbecky]

crazy good energy and talent going on here. I love the look on Chick's face watching ....

[@DomMinasi]

"a true lesson in creativity”

[@mkerby6306]

Indeed the kaleidoscopic collision/collusion of “yes-and“ practicum.

[@philippekaisin1344]

Quelle merveille ,quelle liberté, quelle créativité et quel swing!Extraordinaire!Quel duo a part entière,deux instruments!

[@vivianelavanchy]

absolotely awesome

[@shermoore1693]

Bobby is a genius. So is Chick. Great performance. As usual.

[@camerongrant4595]

such a groove the entire time

[@estebanok73]

[@susydalgesso]

Amazing video! 3 great instrumentalist plus Bobby: I had the great honor to improvise with him on stage at Ravenna's Alighieri Theatre

[@Sperzel]

Bobby is a force of nature.
