Joscho Stephan, Olli Soikkeli, Stefan Berger: Black Orpheus (composed by Luiz Bonfà)

"Black Orpheus" ist ein Werk von dem berühmten brasilianischen Bossa Nova Gitarristen Luiz Bonfà. Bei dem Konzert im Jazz Club Hannover by Gartenheim zeigten Joscho Stefan und Olli Soikkeli ihre Interpretation dieses Klassikers und überzeugten dabei nicht weniger als das Original. Unterstützt von Stefan Berger am Bass.
Black Orpheus was composed by the legendary Bossa Nova guitar player Luiz Bonfà from Rio de Janeiro (* 17. Oktober 1922 † 12. Januar 2001). Joscho Stehan & Olli Soikkeli were playing their own version during the concert at Jazz Club Hannover by Gartenheim and it was a great moment of finest gypsy jazz.

Josho is technically spotless and impressed me beyond reach! Olli flew away and took me along on a musical dream! Beautiful...

[@theYOFFLISES]

More than spotless, Joshi is very inspired and Olli shines... Extraordinary.

[@Freelaughter420]

Very basic a diatonic

[@hiiambarney4489]

9:50 When you played like a god for 9 minutes straight but this is when the Guitar Center employees draw the line.

[@omko73]

Lol

[@NorthernPlus]

As the years pass, this performance will be referenced by many....Just inspirational......

[@twinsoul8924]

Making music is like telling a story. The story of 'Black Orpheus' has been told many times. But.......the way mister Soikkeli tells it is magnificent and beyond this world. I can hear mister Soikkeli's story, over and over again!

[@staffanrengmyr4742]

Incredible! I've seen this over and over again.. Both are super performer. Joscho with his absolutely brilliant technical performance is always thrilling. Olli's technique is also fantastic an to me musically more pleasant due to his coherent flow.

[@zbs2363]

Life has blessed these fine musicians with a precious gift: the ability to touch souls in their most intimate lair. The troubling ease with which each layer of notes carves and shapes our emotions, fills me with rumbling awe and a deep sense of wonder. I am grateful to the Jazz Club Hannover for capturing and sharing this gem with the world. Thank you Josho, Olli and Stefan for your commitment to your instruments. I wish your all well and hope you will continue to enjoy life playing your music for as long as possible.

[@bks1979]

after growing up with a Night in San Francisco with John, Al And Paco........ wow the new generation fabulous!!!!!!!

[@Tallinheels]

I first saw this movie in the 60s. This performance honors the brilliance of the film.

[@ClancyBirrell]

WOW that passage with the artificial harmonics is out of this world!!!

[@alexmcleish9204]

GREAT GUITARISTS PLAYING FROM THE HEART AND SOUL..THANK YOU

[@dongee6351]

Can't get much better than this..

[@freddym223]

Why are we just talking about Joscho ? did you not hear that wonderful piece of art that Olli performed !? Of course they are both great players with technique to spare !

[@KimchiSpringRoll]

Totally agree.... They all sucking on Joscho's ass while ignoring the fact that Olli totally has nothing less than Joscho in this piece.

[@djangopadawan]

IMHO Olli's performance here was a little bit flat. You don't feel transported with highs and lows, I felt it like boring tbh. Only my opinion, not removing anything from the great technique and talent from Olli, but I did not feel touched by his playing. On the other hand, technique aside, you feel a lot of movement in Joscho's playing with soft parts, tense parts. I think he expresses better on his instrument. I'm not a Joscho fanboy, just what I feel on this song.

[@KimchiSpringRoll]

One could obviously argue in anyway they want, or even move it to the troll level. But seriously man, if you do realize how the bass plays it soooo gentle, and even not taking a start with Olli, I believe there is an intended arrangement there and Olli is definitely doing something according to that. I liked to think of both jazz and cigars the same way, people prefer differently and one can say cohiba behike is the greatest while a davidoff is also briliant, even one is a full bodied cigar and the other one mild and mellow, both are just great cigars. On Joscho and Olli's level, really, there really can be sooo much talk on the style and such but it really is controversial due to any biases or purely personal preferences. At the end of the day, I am just hoping people can have a little more respect and appreciation for both styles. If I wanted to argue, I can say that Joscho's pinch harmonic part is bs as how poorly it sounds with the mic for recording or if I am a troll i can also aruge that Joscho is too cheap to buy a high-end pick-up. Guys, let's just shusshhhhh and listen and it hopefully the music brings enjoyment to you.

[@djangopadawan]

That there is an arrangement with the bass player does not necessarily imply that it becomes interesting to hear :) It's as you said about personal preference and for me especially emotion transferred from the player to the audience. Not talking here about technical sound, pickup or whatever bright sweeping technique used for a lick. I did not see anyone in the comments disrespecting neither Joscho nor Olli, even though you diplomatically stated that most of people "suck Joscho's ass". Just my 2 cents.

[@KimchiSpringRoll]

whatever you say .. chief ..

[@albertgerace9737]

A beautiful rendition written byLuis Bonfa! The Bossa Nova introduced in America by Charlie Byrd!! This tune is magnificently performed!! Thank You!!

[@tonymclaughlin9113]

I love this the whole dynamics of this recording it gives me goosebumps ! I have listened to this on numerous occasions and never get tired of it !! Thank you all involved for such a fantastic recording . You are so gifted and talented thank you all for making this piece so special .

[@torstencoelfen2154]

Hallo Herr Stephan ,ich bewundere ihr Können. Es zeigt wie schön und gut Ihre Musikalität weiter ist ,als der Realbook Jazzkeller .

[@randydaniels1167]

To me, Joscho is the best guitarist in the world and arguably the best who ever touched the instrument. His technique, style, and emotion in playing is unsurpassed. I play this song here also on KZbin, but am thinking of deleting it and starting over!

[@randydaniels1167]

OR, maybe turning my guitar into a planter!

[@treborsmada1]

I know what you mean, man, but just look at the satisfaction that bass player derives from simply playing.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Jake Workman is better

[@victorjcano]

I agree that Jascho is truly a master and one of the best. Have you ever checked out Yamandu Costa? (. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKSYZaOOiJ1jppY ) Although a very different style of music. I also think he is also truly one of the best guitarist I the world.

[@alper0306able]

Some musicians Are born with a gift👍They are both great players of new generation 👏👏

Unbelievable playing! Olli and Joscho, you are the best musicians ever

[@eugensalaleigum6125]

[@rockygiannone7292]

I just recently discovered Joscho and now Olli. So fluid and flawless. Gives me so much joy to hear these master musicians. Joscho's right hand is such a blur at times that it actually makes me laugh.

[@melissamelissa8940]

Olli very good

[@EyepopEastLA]

There is no other like Joscho man is a master guitarist.

[@eugensalaleigum6125]

Suomalaisten osaaminen aina välillä ihmetyttää... nuoren suomalaisen musiikillinen käsitys on niin pitkällä. Hyvä Olli...

[@khurgin1]

Nun, die Tatsache, dass Josho Stephan ein Genie ist, ist verständlich. Aber wie gut Soikkeli ist. Und was für ein Kontrabass - es gibt einfach keine Worte. Ich höre zum hundertsten Mal. Und ich werde es noch tun.

[@aljoschahunger]

..what a musicality.. impressive..

[@chimneychuck]

When I hear musicians like this bringing the guitar to the highest level it gives me such great inspiration to throw my guitar away and slap myself for even trying!

[@sertimola]

they all are incredible amazing musicians ...nothing else

[@stevede0000]

Fantastic - Both Joscho and Olli complimented each others gifts with out trying to out do each other.

[@evangelinamontepeque2234]

Spectacular! I do not get tired listening to these musicians !! LOVE IT ♥️

[@soledadjazzman]

Stephan really combines both technique and styles in a perfect way. His solo is not only Gypsy but the mixture makes him great and unique. I am not sure whether it is because he has a lot of times playing with Tommy and influcend by this Giant.

[@jasomdude]

I really like them both Tommy and Joscho. If they play together it is phenomenal.

[@billmcalpine]

The name of this tune is Manha de Carnival. It's from the film Black Orpheus.

Wow! I always thought John McLaughlin's version was the killer until now. I don't know what it is about the Manha da Carnival (Black Orpheus) melody that makes it so magical -- I could listen to this version forever. Inspired playing by both guitars.

[@petrucarp2512]

Beautiful guitar music!

[@sonyahannah]

I "met" this hauntingly beautiful melody as "Carnival" during my undergrad years. My music minor best friend and I were too broke to afford sheet music or LPs, so we spent part of a Saturday afternoon in a huge music store, memorizing the lyrics [me, English major] and the accompaniment [she was a superb pianist who could also play by ear]. Then we scurried back to our dorm and worked out an arrangement on two guitars -- she would mentally transpose the orchestral melody and chords into a guitar-playable key. . . our combined strings and fingers, however, NEVER sounded like Joscho's and Olli's combined strings and fingers. . .

[@i6g7f]

I think Olli solo is also off incredible beauty... Joscho has to start really drawn back to start his solo because there was nothing to add and he does it anyway both great players love them..

Black Orpheus or Manhã de Carnaval or Morning of the Carnival... It's a Brazilian song but there's a version with lyrics by Carl Sigman, A Day in The Life of a Fool, recorded by a lot of american singers (Jack Jones, Frank Sinatra, Cassandra Wilson etc.).

[@quenellegaming]

Is Olli the guitarist from Rythm Future quartet?? I love the way he’s touching his guitar. What a feeling.

[@gypsyjazzjamcovers1289]

yes he is

[@katigroszek]

Joscho has better feel and is not going for just technical complication and unnecessary fireworks...

[@quenellegaming]

@@katigroszek Are you serious? Please, not Joscho, he’s literally the most unfeeling technical player I’ve heard. He’s technically excellent but emotions from people listening him playing are more « Wahou! » than lyric « Wow.. ».
