"In a Mellow Tone" - Benny Benack III ft. Bria Skonberg

[@DanielKJohanssonTrombone]

nice touch with two voices and two trumpets!

[@bbjazzIII]

it's a good fit ain't it? ;) thanks!

[@johnjames98]

This is a killer arrangement - this is absolutely amazing! I'm bopping along like crazy!

[@bbjazzIII]

that was the goal - amazing!

[@donnagulec20]

You guys deserve a Grammy for this performance. Good Job!!!

[@FIRSTORIENTAL]

An inspired small group has always been the home of best jazz. This Benny-Bria set is delicious!

[@anadonica]

I felt absolutely in love with these Mellow Tone. Just Great

[@Cassandra9292]

Bria voice solo is incredible

[@chipbenson8078]

….Russell, Emmet & Kyle keepin’ it mellow!

[@scotttrendell6897]

Wow gang - You swung Johnny Hodges to the Stars on that cut ("Memories of Ellington" - 1954). It was truly truly awesome. I loved every second of it. Also, thank you Emmet, Russell, and Kyle for everything you brought to us during COVID and right through to this amazing performance. All of you are the very best. Thank you. Benny and Bria - Bravo!

[@andrewfinch1656]

You all looked like you enjoyed that ! Great stuff. Regards from across the Pond.

[@wlavin]

You have made my day! The musicianship is one thing, but the infectious swing and pure joy make this stand out. Thanks!

[@bbjazzIII]

that's all we can hope for, thanks Bill!

[@macmusic6555]

Couldn't have said it any better than that "infectious swing and pure joy!" My whole day has just been turned around (for the better)! Thank you!

[@joakimjonsson]

Holy shit it’s crazy how similar your trumpet sounds are! Makes the arrangement flow together SO GOOD! And from a pianist, Emmet Cohen is just a god!

[@denismarcheteau5056]

This is exactly why I love Jazz so much. 100% class and swing. Pure joy too. You guys rock! Kisses from France. Please come to Paris to play and sing.

[@mathiask.3269]

Pure joy , I’m so glad you guys are really keeping this beautiful music going stronger then ever!!! Benny are you digging the Lotus mouthpiece??? You sound absolutely amazing on it.

In a mellow tone, feeling fancy free. And I'm not alone, I've got company. Everything's okay, the live long day. With this mellow song, I can't go wrong. In a mellow tone, that's the way to live. If you mope and groan, something's gotta give! Well, just go your way - oh, and laugh and play. There's joy unknown in a mellow tone. BBIII Vocalese I nearly had it with bein' alone until you came along with your song. Now, I can't do no wrong. Oh, just bein' with you is where I belong. You really make me crazy, you really make me mad - I'm goin' looney! But, in spite of the problems we've had, lovin' you it ain't half bad. I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams. Now, it seems our story is just beginnin' - there's so much winnin' when you are around to hold my hand. Life with you, it feels so grand. You are my conductor and I'm your band. Won't you play with me all night long? Oh, Bria, my love for you is strong! Bria Vocalese Ooh boy, I like your style - you just might have to stay awhile, cause you make me smile every time you're near to me. Just keep it mellow and I just might make you my fellow if you're cool. Don't start actin' a fool! C'mon baby squeeze me just like you mean it. When I'm cozy in your arms, nothin's worryin' me - can't you see? We belong together, our love lasts in any kind of weather. You are mine for all time, gee boy don't you know you are so fine! (Instrumental) In a mellow tone (in a mellow tone) Oh, feeling fancy free (feeling fancy free) And I'm not alone (you're not alone) With Bria, I've got company (we're in good company) Everything's okay (everything's okay) All the live long day (all the live long day) With this mellow song (mellow mellow), we can't go wrong.

A jazz theorem : trumpet players can sing. Sax players can't ... any counterexample ?

What about Grace Kelly!?

Camille Thurman

[@lawebbermusic6991]

James Moody!! But there is ample evidence to support the proposition.
