Emmet Cohen w/ Houston Person | Just The Way You Are

[@jimcoleman2369]

Emmet has developed a winning formula ( or recipe ) : (1) Present high quality musicians ( 2 ) Play music that is not over the listener’s head ( 3 ) Swing for the rafters .

[@dianespear1846]

And play with unmistakable joy!!!

[@pranavphx]

These are probably the best live sessions on the Internet. Absolutely stunning diversity and some stunning musicians really going for it.. Wow

[@theraven6836]

So true.

[@javiersanmartin6328]

Espectacular!!

[@andrewuk2683]

Whilst the Greats such as Oscar Peterson may have passed on, the likes of Emmet Cohen give real hope for the future. He's a joy to watch in action.

[@TWO20]

His sub tone almost sounds like he’s whistling, it’s something else

[@davidrosen9711]

The hippest happiest piano on the scene

[@joncelentano]

Everything from 3:10 to 3:35, ending with the I Get A Kick Out Of You quote! 🤯🤯

[@bixsingsthemusicoflife2047]

Such simplicity from Houston. Exactly great. Taste personified.

[@po954]

Emmett is creating an increasingly important space in jazz with his vibrant music alongside other great artists during this time of pandemic induced social isolation. THANK YOU EMMETT AND BAND! All of you bring us joy in so many ways!

[@samuelbrown434]

Really sensitive tenor playing! It’s like butter!

[@babinm]

Old school tone. A musician who knows the sax can be a voice that tells a story not only pyrotechnics to show off with.

[@HADJEE]

Ben Webster fuzz.

[@robertgradl3308]

Great performance! Emmet Cohen is wonderful, monster chops, blues core, a phenomenal Jazz pianist. Great to see and hear Houston Person, a true great jazz tenor saxophone legend. Thank you so much for this video. I hope to see Emmit live.

[@JAZZCLASSIQUE]

So nice to see young US musicians who know what jazz is about ( Swing !) . And what a pleasure to hear again Houston Person !

[@RonCarterBassist]

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@autumnwinfield1723]

Love seeing Houston doing his thing. I remember him coming to my house and rehearsing with my father the later great Stan Hope.

[@jasondavis3960]

That Tenor Sax Tone is the answer to everything!!!!! Wow! 4 notes and we are locked in.

[@מנדיסגל]

Unbelievable 👏👏 Thank you so much for doing this. I can't believe it's for free

[@YoneVieiraBraga]

Muito linda, toca bem parabéns!! Obrigada!!

[@easymusic9582]

At first I thought the swing version was not convincing, but Emmett's solo part saved everything )))👋👋👋

[@alejandrorodriguezortizdee9908]

Sencillamente impresionante Emmet Cohem y Houston Pearson y la sección rítmica

[@justending]

Nice laid back sax.

[@philpryor7524]

Isn't it lovely to hear this friendly co-operative artistic performance just the way it should be. Houston is quite a strong controlled player and the versatile and sensitive developing support is excellent. All beauty, balance, a bright moment (wouldn't Rahsaan love it!) Bravo.

[@saxophone28]

houston pearson is the mannnn!!!

[@martinbreslow1401]

The last two minutes are really cool!

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Great combination with Houston and Emmet. Good ol’ standard played with feeling and zest. Nice upload. G’day & Cheers!

[@cmeyerowitz]

Absolutely superb rendition of one of my favorite songs. What an amazing treat to have this pop up in my list

[@jefferyneu3915]

Phil Woods had nothin’ on Houston Person’s version of Just the Way You Are! ThNk you Emmett Cohen for these incredible videos. I look forward to meeting you in Cincinnati next month!❤️

[@sonnygibson9735]

Phil Woods solo on this tune shouldn’t be compared in any way with Houston Person. Phil Woods aggressive tone, superb lines and incredible phrasing is simply beyond anything on this session. His solo on this tune was probably the absolute best solo EVER on a pop tune! I’m not saying anything against Houston - but come on ...

[@lmwald]

Masterful sax solo

[@MrJazzohjazz]

Wonderful. Thank you so much

[@lmwald]

Swing, smile, hot chops, enjoy.

[@nkellyjazz]

This!!!

[@namhafterstephan]

Try to do one with Maceo!

[@pimeye]

He is 86!!!!

[@abodabalo]

One wouldn't tell without looking it up. That amazes me and makes me incredibly happy.

[@bixsingsthemusicoflife2047]

Wow, great session, so much fun, which jazz should be! Love it. Any vocalist would be privileged to participate! (hint)

[@mr.martin9984]

Great!!!

[@jimcapone2593]

That was one swinging rhythm section!

What the fuck happened at around 4:04 between the bass drum and the left hand. They read eachothers minds. Are those hits from a standard recording of this or did they just read eachothers minds? Wow please someone educate me

[@marcelocanonico4564]
