Alison Brown and Jake Shimabukuro "Feels So Good"

[@10011ado]

Wow, the sheer joy in that performance is something else. Brilliant musucians at the top of their game, working perfectly together as a group. Absolutely wonderful.

[@evangelinebeltran365]

Best version of the song!!! Thanks Jake!! Thanks Allison!! Thank you all!!

[@gregsalo950]

I fear the great works of Chuck Mangione have been lost to time. Good to see young people rejuvenating Mangione's music. "Feels So Good" was released as a single in early 1978, which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June of that year after spending a week atop the Billboard easy listening chart in May. The recording was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Record of the Year at the ceremony held in 1979, losing out to Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are". Mangione re-recorded the tune (as a slow ballad, and with lyrics sung by Don Potter) for his 1982 album 70 Miles Young. Mangione was quoted describing the editing of the original version of the track as "major surgery." [Wikipedia]

Talk about reinventing the Uke and Banjo! They're just great!

[@johnguidera8121]

Exquisite! Anytime you're having a rough day at the office take five and just groove along with this musical gem.

[@petervanopdorp3862]

Feels so Good, these guys are havin' too much fun - call the authorities!

[@charlotterogers8733]

I’ve never heard a ukulele sound this good and jamming with Alison ❤

[@petervanopdorp3862]

What can you say? Believe me, two artists. Wonderful!

[@ewallperschwaznyk4169]

I have listened to this video probably a hundred times - it never gets old!

[@adipsous]

That really feels so good!

[@paoloremo542]

This is a really cool song. No one tried to over power each other in the song. Each instrument complimented each other and made such a cool jazzy sound as a whole

[@ckg145]

Love seeing Jake with amazing bluegrass cats. Waiting for the jamband/jambase world to find Jake.

[@haroldrull4943]

Nice version, first time I heard this music was 1978 on board Singapore airline flight, now it is still a hit. Both uke and banjo shared great performance.

[@dennyshonda]

I listen to Alison a lot. I really like her taste in music.

[@BanjoMark77]

Excellent tune, Alison and Jake. I like it.

[@daigo1952]

Just texted my daughter to watch this. She just took up the uke. I have never seen anyone play uke like this. Jake Shimabukuro is amazing. Been following Alison Brown (that's how I got here, & she is usually bluegrass) & a great cover of Mangione's classic.

[@daigo1952]

Ordered the album & got it. Love it!

[@kbauz9266]

Such a nice, refreshing sound. Music is about the expression of emotion, feeling and passion for what we do that is inside of our hearts. Thank you for sharing this. Be safe and stay healthy.

[@peltzr]

Brilliant. I love the original, and I love this version. Terrific riffing by all parties. Wish it were an hour long.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Beautiful

[@sandybanjo]

Love that new low banjo and the ensemble!!!!!! Great recording!!! Good mix, engineering.....all of the artists! Really outstanding!

[@dino0228]

Fabulous! Heard on Randolph radio in VT

[@gregsalo950]

Wow!! Great!

[@235buz]

I saw George Benson play this in Detroit at the Fox theater in the 80's. It's nice to see it breath again. Thanks.

[@richardcogbill6791]

Just a piece of trivia, a young George Benson before he played the guitar, started on the ukulele.

[@SideshowSkip]

Ya done blowed me away !

[@martycoomber7897]

Beautiful❤Alison from here in Toronto!

[@kirbonite]

probably the best disco banjo I've ever heard ! Bravo

[@marnel7787]

Wow, so nice!

[@time0503]

I know that pianist! Hey, Joey! What a great arrangement, textures, musicianship . . .

[@tonyarcuri8969]

That was Great, the whole band was awesome and on my favorite banjo too, Prucha.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Loving this. The banjo compliments the ukulele really well. Like ice compliments water.

[@magicdaveable]

Excellent performance.

[@ericb.5078]

Great musicians having a great time. Thanks for sharing the moments with the rest of us.

[@oldcremona]

Love love love love love etc.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

This song needs to be put in a movie soundtrack if it has yet to be.

[@Galiuros]

This song was featured on 91.3 KXCI in Tucson

[@einarabelc5]

I just heard an add about this lady's playlist for banjo in Spotify so I decided to check her out. RElaxing.

[@aleccramsie6712]

Wow! Alison, you inspire me...and surround yourself with great talent, thanks.

[@tstepper]

So many of my favorite musicians!

[@banjajohn]

WOW! Thank you Alison and company. Looking forward to getting album.

[@sandybanjo]

Outstanding!

[@edsonrochak4997]

[@mauricesalvadori589]

excellent !!

[@milochristensen1478]

On another video there was a comment "what does it take to make Alison smile?" Apparently it takes something this good.

[@うりやん-y5u]

素敵だわぁ

[@ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-γ1ε]

Perfect.....

[@dennyshonda]

I still like this.

[@dronevision75]

Bellissimo.

[@Swingtime-pn7gy]

Who is the guitar player on this track?

[@ojnabsekil6531]

Purely exiguous...

[@clydecavalieri4511]

I totally agree, as I look up exiguous, e...x...i...g...

[@MakingAChangeAlia]

Hello is there sheet music for the ukulele part?

[@CompassRecords]

Unfortunately there is no sheet music for the ukulele part but thank you for reaching out.

[@PhilUSAFRet]

Where's Alison been all my life. Typical Jake amazing licks.

[@JedClark]

1:21 Bryon Larrence!

[@wesmcgregor7715]

WOW.....!!! Very cool...! Who is the one moron who put a thumbs down on this....????

[@clairewagner4416]

Lovely stuff! I wonder what kind of banjo Alison is pickin'? I can't recognize it from the quick shots....

[@sr4d]

I think it's a Prucha, from the Czech Republic. They make an Alison Brown Signature model.

[@andreaharwood-jones7503]

This is the ultimate anti-depressant!

[@alancwwong]

Banjo here sounds like opening glass bottles, so cute.

[@tomhart6962]

So much better than a fluegelhorn version.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

I know that drummer! Yo! Bryon!

[@micsayre]

You've got to be kiddin' me.................

[@danaschoen432]

Glad she gave up banking (yup, that's what she did in her previous life I'm told)

[@jlhamonet]

Merci pour ce beau morceau. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWTLlaWFaax-etkfeature=shared

[@bennyblanko3]

I wish the studio didn't tighten this shit up ... because ... this is a bunch of musicians, and the song, though funny and pop, is respect ... and makes people happy like a one liner joke ... but res ... pect ...

[@terryhowe3034]

Pity about the poor camera work.
