Jay McShann 1990

[@geraldjohnson4013]

Now I'm homesick for Kansas City again. Jay McShann was a stellar jazz musician.

[@ITn06]

Plas is one of the greatest tenor players I have ever heard!!! Nobody plays the Blues like Plas. A true master of the horn. I had the honor of taking a few lessons from Plas. Jay McShann!! what is there to say!

[@grahamlyons8522]

You're right. And I'd swap Plas's lower octave for anyone's altissimo any day.

[@DebbSaxx1]

What was he like as a person? Quiet? Loud? Gentle? Laid-back? Introvert?

[@puravida1949]

Plas was an excellent teacher and very laid back. A total gentleman and fabulous tenor player!

[@DebbSaxx1]

@@puravida1949 Thanks for your answer. I'm not surprised that you say he's a gentleman and laid-back. Somehow it comes out in his playing. Check out Henry Mancini: Walk on the Wild Side. He does a great job, as usual.

[@MikeJohnson-qx4rv]

Right up there with Oscar P. And Tatum...

[@vova47]

The tune is Duke Ellington's "I'm just lucky so and so" Love those KC blues!

[@klotzilla]

I met Jay many times in Kansas City. I loved him and miss him. But what a phenomenal recorded legacy he left us.

[@lawandpolicy]

This KCMO native living in NYC has “Uncle” Jay as my go-to jam to stay rooted. This concert is exceptional all the way around. Thank you for sharing it.

[@ChampianFulton]

Love Jay McShann. Okie from Muskogee.

[@lastknowngood0]

Bluesville! Hootie, Plas & The Judge!

[@exjazzer]

A young Charlie Parker was in Jay Mc Shann's band.

[@1magdarose]

This is perfection.

[@Scalairefr]

Beautiful. Thanks to you Plasjohnson.

[@SharaPoet1]

Love Jay and Milt Hinton, and this is just wonderful! Thanks for having it here.

[@vijitc1209]

Love Jay McShann. Brilliant.

[@lastknowngood0]

Hootie & Plas with The Judge AWESOME!

[@renatodavid1]

I never had the opportunity to watch him playing, live in a theatre. That's the problem of living in Brazil - many of those geniuses will never come down here! But, thanks to you all and youtube, now I can watch him a little bit! Really thanks!

[@33zola]

Обалденная игра)))) Спасибо, респект))))))

[@dflickd]

Magical

[@vinegate]

Just great. I was privileged to see (and meet) Jay McShann in the early `90s in London (Pizza on the Park, Hyde Park Corner) - always remember as one of my favourite musical experiences

[@maguskh]

I saw Jay on the Burghausen(Bavaria)-JazzFestival many years ago. One minute before his gig he peeped around the curtain (only his head was to see) and smiled - there he had already won! That he played a wonderful piano then, goes without saying.

[@emmanuelserranegrajunior9066]

These are the guys!

[@pmottagenmed]

Please send more Plas Johnson, the excelent tenor player !!!!!

[@muxant_academy]

Shout out McShann.

[@rickbilkey8726]

Thank you Plas for all your musical contributions! As a youngster (before I knew your name) I was digging you on some Earl Grant stuff. There was a particular soulful ballad instrumental w/ Grant & I wish I knew the title. Never heard anyone else play it ever!

[@tonyclifton1992]

Great blues lickz.... Plas be like Houston Person or otherway round

[@joniachenbach410]

excellent!

[@richk4646]

he helped me on piano

[@jerrygunning1449]

Milt Hinton is amazing!

[@ghairraigh]

"I'm Just a Lucky So and So", Duke Ellington.

[@ghairraigh]

Plas Johnson plays "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" by Duke Ellington with Jay McShann and Milt Hinton. Plas is noted as the saxophonist on "The Pink Panther Theme". Milt Hinton is noted as the most-recorded jazz musician, ever. Jay McShann is noted as Charlie Parker's first employer. Now, who is that drummer?

[@bairesco]

♥️♥️♥️

[@skellez83]

This piano stuff is so hard to transcribe. The little nuances and semi-played notes. Jay’s style is so great.

[@peroldaeus3664]

Glad I caught McShann, Johnson and Hinton live. Who's the drummer, the tempo slows down. Compare the first bars, and the last!

[@msg2clash]

Some beautiful playing here - doe's Anyone know where I can get this Concert -DVD and what this concert took place - thanks in advance .

[@emmanuelserranegrajunior9066]

That's the guy.

[@freeport54]

Answer:"I'm Just a Lucky So-and-So" is a 1945 song composed by Duke Ellington, with lyrics written by Mack David

[@millsbrothers]

YEEEEEEEEEEA MILT!!!

[@danjameson1572]

[@estefaniaarraigada2523]

tkm

[@marcoscorsolini8803]

THE REAL THING

[@PayDaVig1]

Is this the real Plas Johnson site? Anyone know? I can't imagine a world famous saxophonist has only 109 subscribers.

Quem é o baterista?

[@mdhbigdog]

Is the Plas Johnson who uploaded this video the same Plas Johnson playing the tenor sax in the video?
