[@nickmainella]

Anyone else still watching this regularly in 2023??

[@splintmaniac1273]

joe takes it to the stars with this one

[@sunnysaxman]

Joe is absolutely ON FIRE here!!! This is among the best stuff he's ever done - I've known him and been following his music since the early 90s...

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Still one of my favorite vids!! So playfull, and Joe's sound is as big as life itself!!

[@m41incanis]

This piece, is a work of art.

[@filippavic3369]

This is outrageously good!! Lovano touches my heart and soul. No wonder that my favorite Frisell and Scofield recordings are with Lovano

[@gialloaccoglimusic]

Kenny Werner! woow!! amazing!

[@BrianPerez]

One of my favorite recordings! Everything just feels so good! Kenny and Joe are killin!

[@oshanelove219]

Man....this pianist is so good at following...I love how Joe and Kenny are in sync....the whole band is in sync

[@amandawhiteley6737]

Just amazing this fella, Joe Lovano, and also Sammy Westico, never heard of em until now. I'm 56, brought up on this style of music by my late father who passed away in June this year. Aged 82, he would have loved this. Plus all 20s 30s and so the list grows! Enjoy!

[@Shira2]

Joe is a great stylist in his own right with his place firmly taken in the pantheon of jazz. He was channeling train heavily this night (which is why I love him!) I dig joe. He is just able to blow so effortlessly, the man is connected! I love the Conn (some people call them a Chu Berry but they are actually the New Wonder-I got one)

[@sixsaxsoxsex]

Jeff Williams: Maybe the most underrated drummer in jazz.

[@rickholland9203]

I love him on the Brubeck sessions with Bigert and Thomson.

[@j.williams9615]

@@rickholland9203 huh?

[@j.williams9615]

no, not I

[@j.williams9615]

I've often felt that way. But, then again, maybe anonymity suits me. A most meaningful comment as ever said to me about anything I've contributed along the way, musically; Thank you.

[@RipzOnNubes]

same changes as "i want to talk about you?" one of trane's favorite ballades.

[@Mrnotrix]

Beautiful tune and great playing from masters of their craft ! Being a drummer I must say that Jeff Williams really swings !

[@mariospapares8149]

When everything falls into place....brilliant

[@kingpleasure]

God is he incredible on this. I just saw him live a few weeks ago and he is a serious monster player.

[@AlexTerrier]

Lovo is the boss.

[@docwallacemusic]

Incredible performance. You know you're playing if you sweat clear through your suit! Wow.

[@cjoaniquet]

1.God 2.Joe Lovano ...

Damn, Werner! Your block chords KILL me!!!

[@RVitroJazz]

Great Video...these great musicians are family to me...so glad this was posted.. Roseanna

[@jofinsky8400]

Masters at play -- 9:45 minutes of gorgeousness!

[@charlesbarry971]

A representative of the school of the big sound The great Joe Lovano.

[@sunnysaxman]

Beautiful. Beautiful. Just f-ing beautiful... Is there more from this concert?

[@hgkgiles]

The ending is perfect

[@sallemjazz1]

I remember catching these cats at the Vanguard about that time. Freaking awesome.

[@klocke]

i love how kenny just watches joe the whole time... like he's in the crowd or something

[@alto75]

Doesn't get much better than this.Joe at the top of his game.Ditto for Kenny Werner.

[@Fabelnegros]

wow. now , i really start loving Joe Lovano. Thx to a friend who made me discover him>

[@billystrayhornsghost]

This is a work of art.Joe u da man!!!

[@trestresbrel]

Merveilleux !

[@lillirillino]

Grande Joe!

[@creambear]

Fantastic! Great skills~

[@francescoscopellitidrums]

Great, great, great, stuff...thanks for sharing.

[@tizianaperry8965]

Wow

[@zinwah]

Shades of Charles Lloyd in the first melody statement--very nice..

[@BobDoherty]

That's just the best sound. He should still be playing a Conn.

[@JS-dt1tn]

more punch and presence in the conn, no question. Such a shame that he plays those junk blandanis for the $$.

[@BobDoherty]

I just saw him in Boston and he was playing a silver Balanced action. He sounded so dark you would think he was playing a wooden sax.

[@BobDoherty]

Real Royal Matrix it’s a New Wonder. The model before the10m.

[@BobDoherty]

YTINF I’m kind of guessing but the Eb palm key looks like it’s round. I think that means it could be a series 1.

[@normhall1622]

First heard this song as a kid on a Nat Cole vocal album. Joe and company put down some loving tones.

[@davis2420]

The trane was strong in that one. Lovely........

[@javijazztazz]

wow beautiful ballad amazing phrasing by joe

[@nightowldisco1778]

Just nipping to iTunes to buy some Joe Lovano. Probably all of it.

[@reginaldredd5766]

[@joewag88]

Man -- all those block chords

[@kfdisawesome]

damn

[@daerp]

Fabulous playing (individuals and group). Anyone know the date of this performance? TOO MUCH !!!!!!!!

[@dshook64]

Please please more from this tape if you have it!!

[@stephenbyth]

@saxophile1 joe lovano is most definitely italian

[@vanderbiltsax]

Kenny Werner also reminds me of one of those creepy middle-aged dudes you wouldn't want your daughter to be anywhere near. And then he sits down at the piano and melts my face, and all that goes away.

[@decus69]

great white dope!

[@tristanhallsvids]

3.00 is sweet just hiding in there

[@timmo491]

Hi - old tenor guy in London here. Top performance from Joe on his Conn, but my god I love the second verse of Kenny's piano break in stride style before the chorus.

[@renedehilster5735]

Kenny Werner.

[@timmo491]

@@renedehilster5735 great player

[@dandiacal]

Yes it is a Victor Young tune. I stand corrected. Haven't seen that movie unfortunately.

[@daerp]

Forget it... I just found the info --> Montreux 1994

[@maheekat]

6:21 dig...

[@nedmanxxx]

dig the saddle bags on that beast o' burden !

[@BobDoherty]

Anyone know of recordings or other videos of him on a Conn horn?

[@joewag88]

How deeply they all listen to one another.

[@davidrubel1142]

Does anyone know if more footage from this concert exists?

[@renedehilster5735]

This was part of a Montreux jazz festival compilation. One more tune was part of the program: Topsy Turvey with Judi SIlvano (Miss Lovano) and Tim Hagens on trumpet added.

[@Friskounet]

Did someone transcribe the first half of that piano solo? ahah!

[@tristanhallsvids]

he's sweating through his suit jacket that's all

!? Freddie didn't write this tune, it was written for the 1948 movie of the same name.

[@pascal62]

Kids: don't try this - 3:30 and 7:30 - at home!

[@ignorecorporatenews]

who is the pianist here ?

[@docwallacemusic]

Kenny Werner: kennywerner.com. Incredible musician, philosopher, and teacher.

[@sysphus13]

this is some serious shit

[@m41incanis]

At five-forty-seven Kenny has the best swing.

[@nathanbellott]

who the FUCK disliked this?

[@marks.6656]

Can anybody tell if this is a Conn New Wonder I, or is it a NW II tenor? I can't make out the G# clearly enough. Man does this sound HUGE & SWEET

[@mattgretz]

LOVANO DESTROYS

[@jiyujizai]

🌼🙄💙🌱

[@CamCovello]

are you serious...? really man. you have to be joking. werner is simply incredible in this recording.

[@mikekaupa9190]

i studied with Joe AND Kenny...but i don't sound like that. hmmm...NOBODY can!

[@tristanhallsvids]

a little like batman though

[@aidybop]

seriously? don't think joe would agree with u

[@nautilius24]

4 don like... wtf!!! obviamente si sos sordo ves a un boludo moverse y nada mas ¬¬

[@freddylebanon]

Thats an Early conn Big Bore tenor.Fat.

[@freddylebanon]

YTINF the best stencils are the 40s or earlier horns like the Pan American..basically a chu layout with a sweeter sound ,conn 66m pattern..also GRETSCH commander is a no frills Buescher pee shooter bell aristocrat..play great..BUNDY special is a Couf copy etc ..Reynolds did a great Martin magna stencil..

[@stephenthomas7109]

I love all the great comments, but this is not "A Portrait of Tracy",by any means.This is "I'm a fool to want you". It's crazy that everyone has such strong opinions but don't know this is the wrong tune.

[@tdeecy]

I wonder . . . . are those funny cigarettes hard to light??

[@quenoteric326]

this is "a portrait of Jenny" !

[@TehWinnerz]

If you're gonna be so confident about your opinion you should at least try to be correct
