The pianist just did something incredible.

[@nynke3011]

OMG I really could listen to this 24/7

[@willow3660]

Me: "This is the best Blue Bossa" Friend: "Damn, he's good at piano." Me: "No, he's the guitar player." Friend: "Wait, what?" Me: "Ancient Jazz secret: get musicians your equal or better than you to be in your band, like Miles Davis did."

[@MrNewktrane]

Nice imaginary conversation. But it runs counter against the actual Miles theory concerning his bands selections. Special knowledge he passed on to his great percussionist/composer Mtume: " When you change your sound, you must change your band. Because the new sounds you're hearing now requires new members. Your current band was put together for the sounds you heard at that time." Great advice from the man who changed the music landscape several times.

[@cjgreen4331]

@@MrNewktrane Idk what Miles Davis said, but the skill of the musician and the sound are two different things... Nothing counters anything. Even if the entire band is different, they could all be extremely skilled, what a dumb comment.

[@MrNewktrane]

@@cjgreen4331 You could have stopped with " Idk what Miles said" as the rest of your comment is based on that starting point.

the piano solo was incredible !

how is this piano player ?

[@robcale8165]

His first instrument is triangle/cowbell.

As I said elsewheres (UEvtCtpjPoY and 38OhTLwoVB8), piano solo by Mickey Tucker is, truly, the stuff of greatness. Thanks for providing this legendary track, in HQ.

[@BraveSirSausage]

blown away

[@tevinlong4888]

Piano solo stole the show

[@kellyjay7448]

A sort of interesting homage to Wes, George builds his solo like Wes used to do: start with a few single string choruses, then play a few in octaves, finally closing out with melodies in chords. Although the piano solo was breathtaking there is plenty for a guitar player to glean here.

[@124jean]

Just fantastic

[@oskywosky6368]

Mickey Tucker's piano...second to none!

[@thaabietmajiet2937]

Fuuucking hell!! this band is something else !!!! WoooooW! I love my bossanova but whoah! This rendition is absolutely amazing! From the upright bassist to all the way through. What I'd give to see this live :(

[@boitumelokuzwayo2024]

This is the best version of blue bossa

[@OmariLiveHD]

It's nice but for me it doesn't beat Dexter Gordon's version

[@fotismonocheir1446]

Dexter Gordon > this

[@vinruff3865]

@@OmariLiveHD Dexter's version is great...also like Bob minter's for copyable licks for saxophone..just listened to pat martino's version-also great

[@xavierdupuis7653]

Yall be like dexter gordon is the best but imo Joe henderson is much better than gordon's version

[@natek5249]

Boitumelo Kuzwayo you mean worst?

Excelente bosanova bella música.

Greats at work! 👏 🎼💙🎶🎸🎶💙🎼 Thanks 💋❤💋

[@johnmcwhorter1728]

This is from the live record, "There Will Never Be Another You". I've been looking for more details since its on Spotify but not on any of Benson's pages. A shame since its one of the finest live jazz records out there

[@cpspencerjr]

the drummer was phenom

[@SCsmartube]

Thanks for watching our channel!

[@albertorivero4531]

EXELENTE VERSION MIL PUNTOS

[@KenLasaine]

It needs to be noted that there's been at least 25 different records made from this bootleg. None of the players have ever seen a dime from it.

[@ericpreusser8450]

This is actually being played as a Samba with an implied Bosa nova feel*!

[@joeporter9175]

Good catch! I missed that, but it's totally true - it has a lot more bounce and drive this way.

[@rohanwinston7769]

Blue Bossa GB style. Cool.

[@vusishabalala7010]

A song to listen during a morning cogitation

[@ethangill3257]

I'm certain that this is Mickey Tucker on piano playing in the George Benson Quartet. I think I hear his musicality flowing through this like you can hear on Mister Mysterious and Sweet Lotus Lips. I am working on a documentary about Mickey and the Archives of African American Music and Culture so I'll need to verify this with him.

[@bluebossa5]

Nice cover!

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

I'm a great fan of you sir

[@don4476]

The piano was later seen limping away with an ice bag on his keys.

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

That piano died of internal injuries soon after

[@neilclappguitar]

[@user-cg3tx8zv1h]

You play a song from "The Best Jazz Album In The World Ever" and no information about Musicians! Very smart!

Not at all ! Listen to Oscar again and again, you will maybe get why i say "not at all".

[@ksiazepaweek1064]

its not 440 hz ro what/ Why i cant solo to this? Its in Cm?

[@charlesduckettjr.800]

This is from a bootleg record that Benson hated and wished had never been released. Music biz. I guess someone made some bucks from this crappy release.

[@KenLasaine]

[@anneonym7346]

Well "crappy release", but one of the best Benson record ! Sound is awful but music is awesome on some of the tracks !

[@musterionsurly]

Lol the piano player is possessed by the spirit of jazz, horribly out of tune piano, who cares.
