Ray Brown Trio feat. Regina Carter (violin) - Lady Be Good

With: Larry Fuller - piano & George Fludas - drums.
From Ray's 75th Birthday Concert (2001).

[@gypsyqueen9863]

It seems as though Regina was born with a violin. I can't stop groovin' to anything she plays! You go girl!

[@rtel123]

Wonderful. Hard to believe that Ray was less than two years from the end of his life here. What a loss!

[@CopelandNY]

From the tips of the hair on my head to the tips of my toes I love, love, LOVE Regina Carter. For my money the greatest living jazz violinist on Earth.

[@erikm8372]

I honestly can’t handle any other version of this song since I first heard this one. Nothing compares!

[@r1johnny]

WOW. This is astounding. It seems that new doors to violin music are opened to me daily. It never ends (thank goodness). Now, thanks to Ms. Carter, I've discovered Jazz violin. Her virtuosity actually made my eyes tear, and I'm 5x yrs old. Thank you so much Ms. Carter to opening my eyes (and ears). Fantastic! Bravo!!!

[@maureenkolkey6316]

Go Regina go! She plays with something special--heart and soul!

[@leemorgan5789]

This is what modern straight ahead jazz is all about.

[@gessed]

The violin in the hands of someone like Regina is so very beautiful to listen to.Thanks for sharing.

[@rtel123]

Love the clever violin technique of running flat for that special flavour. Unique and wonderful musician.

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

Dam! How this Lady can sing and swing her violin and with the GREAT,late, Ray BRown it makes it better Groovy and swinging

[@MaryannaChanteuse]

Quel délice... !! Magnifique !!

[@larryrealdeal]

the best version of this classic I've ever heard!

[@barb1black1]

One of my favorite artists.

[@Guitarman1943]

It swings like hell. they are second to none. guitarman

[@rickbarker4121]

What can you say....fantastic!!!

[@johnjazz6652]

instead of comparing this young lady to other jazz violinists just listen she swings nicely and her lines are like a tenor sax she is beautiful

[@surbersongs]

Most excellent rendition!!!!!

[@Aimusicianudio]

number 1 in feeling and style!!!

[@drlluc]

yeah... she can swing! she knows everything bout jazz, absolutely more than others "jazz" musicians...!

[@claryscat]

I've seen Regina a bunch of times in 15 years. Too many to list. Last year was unbelievable, she is writing and playing at the highest level period. I don't care what label you call her music... SHE BADD! Like... listen to Ray through out. He's like, I got you baby right here in the pocket. Look at his face! At the end he wipes his head with a towel, then she turns around smiling. Happy Birthday Daddy! too cool

[@MrStealthNacho]

Jazz is one of a kind.

[@lajissedrum]

j'aime ray depuis longtemps j'ai découvert georges fludas lors d'un festval de jazz(conilhac) il jouait avec monty alexander suis absolument fan de ce garçon

[@gsprenkle]

Stuff was born Hezekiah Leroy Gordon Smith, used the word "stuff" often in conversation, eventually was nicknamed. I have fair amount of his recordings, they're all on vinyl. Gotta learn how to convert analog to digital because I miss listening to his work. Its so good to know that others are interested in jazz violin. Its surreal about Regina because she has mastered his technique to the ultimate.

[@oldpython]

Wow she is wonderful!

[@BlueinGreen2]

That is an awesome piano solo by Larry Fuller. I love Ray's vocal approval at 4:08. Imagine Ray Brown saying 'Oh yes!' halfway through your solo!

[@mrx0088]

He knew that from Gene Harris

[@drlluc]

ray brown is the real swing

[@yaserhelmy]

plain and simple WOW!

[@altonrucker3442]

Very dynamic very uplifting and I hope one day to meet Miss Carter

[@SourThenSpicy]

Still not sure why my music teacher put me in Jazz Band - but oh my god, I'm going to cry, this is art, and then - gah SO MUCH PRACTICE TO DO.

[@justap19]

Beautiful film

[@politicalmavenDC]

James Carter is the 'brother' that redhouse 7 refers to, but it is her cousin. James is a world renowned saxophonist.

[@Zoloft1]

its always good to have a swinging song =D

[@bruzmob1]

Just saw her in San Francisco tonight -- unbelievable!

[@Vintexen]

Love the slides

[@BlueinGreen2]

I gotta say - that is an absolutely insanely awesomely and brilliantly wonderful swinging piano solo...love it! And it's clear Ray loves it too - imagine how amazing it must feel to have Ray Brown shouting 'Oh yeah' in your solo (4:07)!

[@bluenote335]

Golden!

[@eivorglas1]

I wish I could play just a little bit like you!! I bought a jazzbook for beginners after listening to You,

[@jazzzz1066]

This is nice and mellow. Very enjoyable. Nice classic jazz sound; great Ray Brown sound.

[@karpdiem2]

thanks for the info on stuff smith & his adaptation of mic to violin. wasn't aware of that.....you learn something new every day!

[@Django44]

Wow! THERE is a very highly talented musician!

[@71603oneday]

this awsome. I love the style and she has a wonderful tone.

[@myplanet99]

our school orchestra got to play with her. she was amazing to perform with!

[@foowah7]

Wow, she's such a melodic player! Beautiful stuff!

[@denisejohnson373]

love Regina...such a phenom!!!

[@TurboTsunami19]

Very nice. Shes got a very good feel you jazz, she makes me feel like I should stop playing classical violin and get into jazz.

[@huppster1924]

Magnificent wold class swing! Charley

[@magdacj1]

I thought it was a trumpet for the first four notes !! Awesome! I love it!

[@lyzamilhomem]

Sensacional! Gostaria estar presente nesta platéia! Regina Carter, a musa do violino ! Ao ouví-la pela manhã, tudo me parece em paz. bjos.

[@markskinner7339]

Wow. Regina Carter is amazing.

[@LadyTinkerBell21]

Hello, I'm not sure if you know that much about jazz, but the bent note's are not to resolve all the time. This type of technique is part of what made jazz what it is. New Orleans is a great place to research for jazz authenticity. Glad you enjoyed it. I did too. ;-)

[@blacksk4]

Real Gem here

[@carolineviolinist]

yes! Regina you are my favourite jazz violinist!! i saw you at Royal Festival hall london! This is great!Take Care Caroline

[@rachelewildmare5607]

I do love Regina's style!

[@violucho]

simplemente espectacular de lo mejor que he escuchado

[@marlborobeb]

incredibil de bine....fantastic !

[@goodchessactor]

no change of expression while playing. Pure Pro.

[@gx2]

Excellent.. :D Loved it. Made me feel at peace.

[@violucho]

es una maestra del jazz, de lo mejor felicitaciones

[@HouseAddict8240]

Well, one that I would HIGHLY recommend is the one she recorded on Niccolai Paganini's violin. AMAZING.

[@drgoodge]

Excellent!!!!

[@manuelgarcia235]

Es realmente satisfactorio escuchar una tecnica y un feelinf envueltos en un solo paquete, digno de Snuff Smith, Sugar Cane Harris o Stephane Grapelli.....es simple y llanamente JAZZ!!

[@cookiethesnitch]

She make me wanna start back playing...

[@gsprenkle]

Since I don't believe in re-incarnation, the conclusion is that Regina studied Stuff Smith's techniques to the fullest extent. Over 67000 viewings? Wow! Regina is a delight for jazz fiddle lovers.

[@RaiderEleven]

Yes, she CAN PLAY the violin, indeed. Wonderful, swinging, and inventive. And Ray's bass sounded great also. Great trio, but that's what one would expect from the bassist that backed Oscar Peterson for so many years. He knows!!

[@OmasKleinerLiebling]

German television at its best!

[@tlbpabcxyz]

光芒棕色三重奏的壯舉。里賈納·卡特（小提琴） - 夫人好 2013/04/13/22:15 終於讓我尋覓到將是今夜最棒的最輕鬆小提琴演奏最棒的的旋律囉!

[@wacko4shmackos]

amazing.

[@CubeableGame]

Play both of them. They are great!

[@user-xk4pz1oy7x]

Beautiful. Thanks.!!!

[@eivorglas1]

You are really great!

[@paint056]

Lady is really good.

[@eivorglas1]

@JOEdoesThings22 I dont have anyone who can teach me, but I whish I some day will have the opputunity to maybe meet and listen to someone like mrs Carter.

[@tomo1tanker]

Awesome!

ok, im in love.

[@MentalGum]

Dare to listen to Motor City moments, Paganini: after a dream, Ill be seeing you: a sentimental jorney, freefall, or any other album and I'm sure your mind will change about one of the most talented jazz violin player ;-)

[@WitchcrafterPan]

great colours the violins reminds a mixture of violin of course and trumpet dunno why

[@fredericsnooks666]

Check out her competition and you'll see how totally awesome this is. A lot of jazz violinists sound really corny and can't swing, but she's got the bad-ass vibe and the technique to back it up. Oooh! she just broke a hair on her bow :)

[@schymbros]

Great performance!

[@darvasvili]

very good violinist.

[@lyndamartin7584]

W💭W💗 This is🎶👀👀 🎶MaGiC 🎶💕🎶📢💋These cATS caN PLA💗Y👌

[@Groovin2]

just enjoy the music

[@Bobsyermomsuncle]

Awesome.

[@gnatural]

wow man, he sound reminds me of stuff smith. incredible.

[@TheGyandip]

I wonder why some people need to put artists (especially women) down by comparing them with others. Everyone is unique. I think she's great. Also, comparison is a necessary ingredient in a solo. And - even if it was not her very best performance, what's the problem. One Grappelli was enough.

[@SlawomirMarzec]

Charming interpretation.

[@eivorglas1]

I love Regina. I hope I will see her in real Life sometimes.

[@barbicaine]

@rachel237linda definitely, but I really like it- makes a unique sound....

[@soaringabovetheclouds]

Queen 👑 🙏

[@SivartNottap]

@karpdiem2 I use a barbera transducer system on my custom electric fiddle. sounds amazing. The basic sound from the pick ups is so clean, and is very well balanced unlike some others. I play that for rock/blues (run through some pedals) and some jazz.. I still have my acoustic, and use an AMT mic for that. Nothing really beats the miced acoustic sound.

[@miyamotoclan5054]

This is improvisational jazz. Check out the song "Echoes of Harlem" by Steve Turre. It's the same type of effective style but featuring a Trombonist.

[@Girlfriendcozy]

Wow!

[@TheJamesalden]

Thank You!....

[@callonthesly]

talent to spare, Regina Carter has it!

[@BrunaoJazzistico]

So do it!!

[@dieudonneMC]

I went out and bought me an electric after I saw this chick, a blond, bring down the house playing hip hop up at club Groove over by NYU.

[@cactusbottom]

@Littlewhitelephant she doesn't resolve those first couple notes but then resolves the longest one in the beginning which I find very enjoyable, not a "bad" signature at all.

[@LeeChgo]

HEAR LIVE JUNE 22, 2011 FREE @ MILLENNIUM PAK , CHICAGO W/ SYMPHONY 6:30 PM

[@JazzTangoTwoViolins]
