Grant Green - Barney Kessel - Kenny Burrell Blue Mist

[@pierrechaouat]

I attended a concert in Paris in 1969 with the same musicians. Back then, I was 18 and was completely stunned by the performance. I decided to stick to my medical college...

So good to see footage of Grant Green. What a player.

In 1968 Barney Kessel took his place on a European tour as a member of the Guitar Workshop (with George Benson, Larry Coryell, Jim Hall, and Elmer Snowden). In 1969 while he was living in London, he recorded this footage at the Ronnie's Scott's Jazz Club with Kenny Burrell, Grant Green (guitar), Larry Ridley (bass) and Don Lamond (drums).

[@melquaidesskunduglio3830]

Any one of these three of these guys are pure genius's on their own. I thought Grant Green was the baddest until Burrell came out with something from outer space, very dissonant and signature Kenny Burrell. Barney Kessell had that look of wonder upon his face.

[@TheHerki666]

could this be the best video ever on youtube?? yes. I think so!!

[@carynoel]

It's hard to believe, and quite a shame that this is the only known footage of Grant Green. The man played for decades until the late 70's. Nobody thought in all those years to shoot some film of this master. I know he wasn't very big in his time, but his influence since has been massive across many genres of music. How amazing it must have been to be at this show and witness these 3 giants of Jazz just smoking their guitars!

[@eddiehansberry9467]

Thank you for recognizing my uncle's greatness!!!

[@detroitbuffalo]

There's a lot of footage of Grant Green from when he appeared on the Gino Washington Show in Detroit in 1976. Grant was his guest for about a month (it was a weekly show). Sharony Green, Grant's biographer and daughter-in-law, told me years ago she's aware of the footage. Someone has to convince Gino to release it. She mentioned there was supposed to be a documentary about Grant, but sadly years later, I haven't heard anything about it.

Where are you from? Your name is interesting.

[@Pizaz0]

stuff like this inspire me to keep playing in a essentialy dead jazz scene.

[@alejandrosoza8006]

dead?

[@Pizaz0]

+Alejandro Soza Well it's not as living as Pop. I see very few new Jazz musicians that make it. It's not dead and I didn't mean it in that way. I meant it as the popularity has died down but at least we still have the hard core.

[@alejandrosoza8006]

Jazz is alive. Listen to Esperanza Spalding, Christian Scott, Mark Turner, Kurt Rosenwinkel, etc... Jazz is not dead it´s buried alive, in the underground.

[@jazzerson7087]

Pizaz is right though, and I know I've heard Pat Martino say this, the jazz scene on the scale of what it was exists nowhere today. Most people can't earn enough as just a jazz musician anymore, they have to teach in colleges etc. The odd jazz club and festival is keeping it alive, but the "environment" in which these cats grew up in, learned their trade and thrived no longer exists sadly. It really diminished in the 60s as rock became more popular. We're lucky that a lot of them continued regardless, some of Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson's best work was done in the 70s and 80s for instance.

[@samjack5448]

Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny

[@joshuabailey469]

Grant played so fast for his time! Not only is his phrasing incredible I just can't get over the speed he plays at compared to even the greats of his era. People just didn't play like that back then, he was a beast! Truly the finest in Jazz

[@catboyzee]

Fascinating how twangy Kessel's sound is. Either he's picking hard, using light strings, or a combo of both. Either way, I'm digging his sound. Very interesting contrast from what Green and Burrell are doing. Cool video...

[@dmoorefsmfn]

Kessel liked using the “Charlie Christian” pick-up, which is a single coil with bar instead of individual poles. T-Bone Walker usurps same type with a similar sound.

[@robertrobles4028]

Kessel didn’t use light strings. His attack was definitely going for the throat edged in between Grant and Kenny.

[@robertrosejr1]

Kenny B solo was so clean and behind the beat. Great

[@buggzo]

Fucking seamless tradeoffs of jazz expressions between 3 guitar players is insane.

[@ghairraigh]

Check out the wonderful instruments. Barney Kessel is playing his usual modified 1946/47 Gibson ES 350 with a 'Charlie Christian' pickup. Kenny Burrell has a blond D'Angelico with a DeArmond pickup. Grant Green has a blond Epiphone Emperor, modified with a Gibson McCarty floating pickup and pick guard assembly. This video has excellent close up views of each player's hands and technique.

[@Oenloveslife]

This is the FIRST time I've seen Grant Green footage. A MASTER!!!! Wow!!! I love Kenny Burrell -- saw him, talked with him, he is really great, but Grant Greene did something to me on this video. Barney Kessel is ok, but these other two on his flanks were just taking it to the stratosphere!!

Still believe Grant Green is the greatest of the JAzz guitarists . The cut - it ain’t necessarily so - has Grant hitting one note that is so perfectly struck and spoken it would be difficult to do so if your not green or some shade of green . For Grant it was natural as his last name was green and his fingers made the magic grow .
