[@OfficialStevenCravis]

Makoto Ozone is one of the most melodic improvisational artists I’ve ever heard!

[@porippon]

Amazing!!! Just look at the energy, the style and the virtuosity there.........We see two genius!

[@MrKelaydos]

Y’en a qui vont pas comprendre pourquoi ça spam Raptor dans les commentaires.

[@deusvult9456]

Déjà que vous êtes là, vous êtes rapides XD

[@annanutabakoan]

On ne peut que remercier Le Raptor de nous avoir fait découvrir ou redécouvrir cette merveille.

[@jiabee]

Mr. Gary Burton's technique is far beyond normal human's ability. Mr. Gary Burton is God.

[@Bashanvibe]

This a beautiful arrangement& the piano player is a beast

[@therealbenphelps]

seriously, this is so good I want to cry

[@sublimityeternal]

this is one of the best versions i have ever heard!

[@mikefarmer7238]

Got to hear this duo during a Jazz Cruise and they were amazing just like on this video.

[@janoksman9044]

superb ... what a duo ...

[@gabrielepetrucci1081]

Here we go!

[@AndrewJohnson238]

another great burton rendition of a timeless classic.

[@T-Jen]

Best pianist

[@livegigs]

I remember Ozone as a student at Berklee and that man can SWING. He can do Oscar Peterson better than Oscar himself. He's really amazing and can do anything.

[@dandruf]

I saw Gary Burton and Dave Grusin live together in concert. It was awesome. And I had no idea who Makoto Ozone was until now, but that man is a monster!

[@pauldemke6806]

Gary Burton is so amazing, unbeleivable.

[@ritaskultety8583]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Littlewhitelephant]

I want to express it positively: Makoto Ozone is certainly a name with many o's and when soloing shows talent. But Gary Burton is really inspiring.

[@michaelquinlenlee9979]

You are so wrong dude. Listen to this 100 more times. Makoto smokes a Burton in pretty much every way on this You're over here focused on the amount of O's in his name. Stupid.

[@13thManOfHonor]

Great masters are always just in time when you're feeling lack of happiness. Gary and Makoto can make our life better - and it's a fact :)

[@gabrielwallusche3072]

Excellent composition and musicians!

[@T-Jen]

and great duo

[@PoppinC]

Thats ridiculously impressive..

[@tiger10guy]

Burton doesn't suck, but I agree with your sentiment. It's hard to find words for how great Makoto is on this piece!

[@juancarlossaavedra4505]

Africa is where man began (CHARLES DARWIN)...... and music (me)

[@OldSchoolLovin15]

gary burton is such a bad ass vibe player. like not only good, but a bad ass.

[@boomboomdrums]

Gary gets such a cool sound out of the vibes.

[@insultantable]

Masterly performed, he is indeed one of the greats.

[@1001Human]

Absolutely amazing.

[@sharondelancy845]

Yes!!!

[@vibeman27]

Gary, Gary, sounding great as always. and always interpretive.

[@TheJMusicNow]

"The greatest vibe player ever, Gary Burton"... rightly said

[@Boldstrummer]

Makoto is certainly playing outside the Ozone Layer into the celestial realms. What the heck is he doing with that turnaround? Very cool.

[@Rougesteelproject]

Burton's a Jazz VIBRAPHONIST anyone good enough to put those two seemingly distinct things together does NOT suck.

[@michaelquinlenlee9979]

...

[@michaelquinlenlee9979]

Rougesteelproject the vibraphone was created for jazz...

[@Camalot53]

Unbelievable - what is the mind to hand interface like with these guys?!!!

[@ZeAlfredo]

awesome quote

[@tiger10guy]

Wow! The feel and intensity at 1:16 is something unique.

[@miloumoreira7760]

Great duo!

[@qnadqs]

i laughed so hard when i noticed that, great catch. it is now my goal to throw a little pop goes the weasel into my solos

[@thisiskaisyoutube]

Anyone else thing Ozone is the most badass name ever?

[@giohamery]

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

[@Adoniram1986]

[@jiyujizai]

[@TH3Producer]

Soon to be my teacher for an online Berklee Course for jazz improvisation Course!! Can't freakin' wait!

[@peteypablo2567]

holy cow this rocks!

[@Mgelakuda]

This is truly amazing. Can't get enough of it. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video.

[@jonwangy]

freakin' awesome! love it - thanks for sharing!

[@CaptainYutube]

SUPERSPECIALAWESOME!!!!!!!

[@ABCABBA]

Great!

[@The64200]

The best version of "AfroBlue", next to that of John Coltrane, it`s my favourite, but i hear them both really more often.......

[@qnadqs]

its crazy how people are going nuts about a pretty well defined musical fact. Latin 8ths are played straight. go listen to songs like one note samba and night in Tunisia. i figured my posting of my previous comment would merely merit comments saying DUH! but apparently some of you didn't know that. well i hope i helped. (also, gary burton is pretty awesome)

[@terezapenna51]

Muito bom!

[@soadfts69]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@bigdude627]

Played congas on the jazz band adaptation... pretty fun piece

[@tn526]

totally sick

[@KuntaKinteToby]

Awesome upload!

[@sbui66pip]

Ahh, the smooth sound. It's subtle, yet so..........vibrant? Anyways, love these guys, awesome combo.

[@Thundermonkeyms]

4:04 Pop Goes the Weasel

[@bmiltonb]

@Boldstrummer That's why he's named Makoto Ozone....he's really out there!

[@TH3Producer]

Not if it's designed the way Berklee Online is, being interactive, extremely informative, very well-structured, and just as personal as Facebook. So it's all in the time & effort supplied by the student. I get to e-mail him personally whenever I want, & you don't so HAH!!

[@NuiStreees]

i think that if there wold come a day when i wold see Gary Burton in person...that's the wold be the day when i think that my death cold come at peace.

[@JavierEspinozabajoelectrico]

!!!!! que bien!!!

[@alaindesaincyr44]

Formidable

[@juancarlosvibraphone]

muy bueno lo mejor......

[@TheWindsor95]

DAaammNNN!!!!! :)

O.O .......Cooool

[@DerpeliciousDerpina]

Sugoi !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShadowCoH316]

@foodmunkey Chick Corea is the Gary Burton of Piano.

[@jussilliman]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

[@kati903]

3:18 is soo good!

[@ZeAlfredo]

wait you know gary burton?! dude that is legendary!

[@TH3Producer]

If I heard that in an elevator I would, I would definitely not get off on my floor! lol

[@jampoles]

try Berklee College of Music in Boston, Burton used to teach there, but if you take classes with Dave Samuels or Jerry Tachoir or Ed Saindon, you'll learn the same technique. Good luck...

[@TheWindsor95]

@leopianotuner Actually I wasn't aware that Burton was a household name. And even if he is, that doesn't mean he sucks. They both rock!

[@EOlaCasas]

Eight people tried to play along with the "Pop Goes the Weasel" solo and accidentally clicked "thumbs down."

[@DarioAnianoDrums]

fantastic 3:47 on piano.

[@zenbooter]

@livegigs,,thanks, also nice of him to comp for Cal. On KZbin,check these two out;from [pianinfan] Yukari Inoue Trio "Minor Swing" and from[ [FranklyJazz] Paul Horn "We Three Kings of Orient Are". This is a truly great arrmt. of Mongo's much loved tune Afro Blue". I notice 690 likes & 8 dislikes,of 193,732 views,,that's wonderful. Consider some sympathy for the 8. There are no days awakening I do not thank God for leading me to the sound I was listening for.

[@TH3Producer]

Good points... I do wish it was more personal, but it as personal as telecommunication gets, & keep in mind the price difference. Tuition at Berklee is $25,000 with around 15 credits... You can do 15 credits online with the same teachers, and even go in personally... for $7,000 all together ... is going in worth that extra $18,000?

[@Borgrimder]

Es muy buena esta versión, a mi me gusta muchisimo, no me canso de oirla. Very good perfomance, i love it so much!! i can listen it for ever and ever :-D

[@percdann]

hey live gigs you wouldn happen to have any videos of keith jarrett and Gary burton playing moonchild/in a quiet place?

[@dylstick3]

@themusikcian1 google it, the entire score which has like 20 different parts is $30

[@MattSanGiovanni]

@ManiakLord123 The version I have runs it in F minor

[@TheJude85]

my name is Gary Burton, i hope this gives me the same powers as his skill. peace out

[@breezewayrecords]

Most of these comments make me sad, as they have little to do with music, art, or communication and have more to with who's better than whom, more advanced, more or less "modern," etc. Who gives a crap? Either it works or it doesn't. I love so much of the music that people call "jazz," but I swear jazz fans can just be the absolute worst. Looking for competition? Watch the world cup or something.

[@AnthonyMariano2112]

Which comments are you referring to?

[@breezewayrecords]

***** Maybe I was replying to a different YT music thread. I'm sure I knew what I was doing ... ; )

[@AnthonyMariano2112]

I was going to say, most all of these comments are just praising Mr. Burton :)

[@alsdyall]

@BarakaObama2012 I think all of this is a reaction to the notes at the top describing Burton as the greatest vibraphone player ever. That kind of statement is bound to cause some negative reactions, no matter how great he is, you cannot simply overlook Milt Jackson like that.

[@SteveBurke]

@dylstick3 It's in the Real Book....
