[@saxyricks4731]

fun to hear this song again........Hugh Masekela and I go way back hahahahahahhahahahahah

[@Passion613]

Surprising to me that Everette doesn't have these very common tunes memorized.

[@joycetate9508]

👋👍

[@jorgeduarteraf142]

EXCELENTE !!!

[@americaisfallingapart]

Where is the cowbell ? Where is it🔔

[@Billlohman]

Wow! Haters going to hate, I guess. Since I actually DO this also, I really respect and love the performance. It’s a live performance at a JAZZ FESTIVAL, and folks need to criticize because they improvise? All the players were awesome and engaged. Good communication onstage. Going to steal some licks from both the trumpet players. Tasty stuff! If anyone can tell me the chart they broke into for a minute at the 2:30 mark, that would be great…would love to do a similar mash.

[@johnroseman9087]

Excellent job on these two tunes. You guys sound tight with a great groove! Is that Portage Lakes?

[@elaineDPW]

Alto’s RULE

[@dwightmoore8679]

Great

[@ppjjazz8885]

Lol everette harp is totally playing this one by ear... LOL he is like totally lost but just keeping learning it a bar at a time

[@maryrodger5130]

I can still hear Hugh Masekela on the horn.

[@earljones1777]

who is the bass player

[@triathlonSDhsp]

+Earl Jones Nate Phillips on bass - what a performance!

[@TheAgentAaron]

Is this in South Florida?

[@donahue478]

Where is this at? Looks like Lake Merritt in Oakland Ca.

[@scarlet8select696]

This performance would have really popped with Sir Michael Paulo had been playing the sax.

[@shadikumarajeett7111]

Do raymon Griffin play pearl drums now? I remember him playing Tama b4

[@Change2be1]

Do these guys still play together.

[@supercooled]

Who's the young trumpeter? Is that Rick's offspring? He kind of looks like Topher Grace, lol.

[@mikelozica5156]

Feature the young guy more!

[@Ewwtuba]

Nice, but just not the same without the cowbell.

[@pigjubby1]

I thought I was going to hear Grazin' In The Grass not some inspired version.

[@ericthered1140]

You can tell that was improvised....not bad though.

[@takudzwaandrea834]

No sir the first song is called "Grazing in Grass" by the African Jazz legend Hugh Masekela

[@Drblooter99]

What's it got to do with Bill Withers? Nothing. It's South African, first recorded by Masakela

[@intrepidpooch]

The second tune they play (after Grazing In The Grass) is a Bill Withers tune.

[@HarryNTrainspotting]

intrepidpooch Isn't it called Use me the song after Grazin in the Grass?

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

Rick Braun. A run of the mill trumpeter. Nothing spectacular about the guy.

[@otmq]

^Stop polluting youtube with your jealous drivel, cretin.

[@charliethetyrton3209]
