Joscho Stephan & Friends live - Breezin!!!

Grandiose Interpretation von Joscho Stephan & friends. Biréli Lagrène, seines Zeichens selbst eine Jazz Gitarristen Legende, der u.a. mit Al Di Meola, Herbie Hancock , Cyndi Lauper und unzähligen weiteren internationalen Top Stars der Jazz & Pop Ära zusammen arbeitete, sowie Gypsy - Multi - Instrumentalist Volker Kamp am Bass, bilden die perfekte Symbiose für diese einzigartige Performance.
Komponiert wurde `Breezin` von Bobby Womack, dem älteren Bruder von Cecil Womack, der mit seiner Frau Linda in den 80er Jahren unter `Womack & Womack`, mehrere Welt-Hits verbuchen konnte. Hier die exklusive Live Performance in der Zentrale von Gartenheim Hannover, im AudimaGH an der Hildesheimer Strasse.
"Breezin'" is an instrumental song composed by American singer and musician Bobby Womack. It was originally recorded in December 1970 by the influential Hungarian jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó, in partnership with Womack himself. The song was originally released in 1971 on the Szabó's album High Contrast. The song was released as a single in April 1971 in the United States and in 1972 in the Netherlands. The single reached No. 43 on the R&B chart the same year. "Breezin'" was produced by Tommy LiPuma.Five years later after Gábor Szabó's original recording, the song became even better known for a successful re-recording by singer and guitarist George Benson, whose 1976 cover was the title track of his album Breezin'. His version was recorded in January 1976 and released as a single in September of the same year, entering for the American charts. Coincidentally, his cover as well as his complete album Breezin' were also produced by Tommy LiPuma. The album and single were released by Warner Bros. Records.(English Source:Wikipedia)

Bass guitarist also plays string bass in this trio. His guitar is much more pronounced and adds much to the trio - what a pleasure!

[@nacienlos70]

I just love how Birelli just goes out of his confort zone and plays a nylon stringed guitar. He has done it all.

Bireli solo - pick up notes shifted ... Phrasing note placements not as expected creating a counterpoint masterpiece solo sensation. WOW

Guitars Genius !!!!! MERCI

[@RealDiaz]

Joscho bringing the pyrotechnics and super soulful licks and master Lagrene bringing some super authentic bebop flavor, two generations one goal.

[@junulock]

A wonderful; tasteful rendition of this song. What captured my attention was the balanced exchange between Birili and Joscho. They are both outstanding players but they each have their own voices and qualities and here they allowed each other the room to take the lead. Bass was also great and the glue that held everything together. I also really liked that neither one strayed totally away from the original melody line. So good and a real treat. Thank you fellas.

[@PaSTOR-D]

Greetings from PaSTOR D "TBLAM." (Also guitar/bass/piano instructor). It is absolutely illegal to be this tasteful, technical, polished, effortless, and "OMG!" This is the performance of the century! Please keep up the excellent work. Stellar "Original interpretation."

[@habsom1406]

Oh Joscho, man you make that guitar sing so sweetly! These guys are at the pinnacle of guitar playing. It's one thing being technically excellent but quite another being able to convert that technical excellence into melodic, musicality which moves your soul.

[@ctbojar]

Yup, they are everything I love about music.

[@robbisonjustin5701]

Awesomeness.

[@jaycooper2624]

I first encountered this tune in 1971 on Gabor Szabo's "High Contrast" LP BTS 28 (Yep, still got it!) the composer Bobby Womack plays Rhythm Guitar on it. I feel the enduring appeal of this lovely tune is that it's basically a very simple couple of riffs that leave infinite scope for improvisation and the Uber Talents of Stephan, Lagrene and Kamp certainly do it justice! Many Thanks for posting - Jay in the U.K.

[@tiborfarkas2969]

co-composer Bobby Womack ;) (what is seen on the record sleeve is not the whole truth)

[@jaycooper2624]

@@tiborfarkas2969 O.K. Tibor what is the whole truth? - I'm intrigued.

[@tiborfarkas2969]

@@jaycooper2624 as far as I know, they (BW and GSz) worked together on LP 'High Contrast', they wrote the songs together, and finally they draw straws(!) to decide whose name to assign to particular songs as 'composer'. And actually in 'Breezin', Szabó's part was at least as large as Womack's. Do you have any information (to the contrary)?

[@jaycooper2624]

@@tiborfarkas2969 That's an interesting anecdote Tibor but I have to say that I'm dubious about it's authenticity. The "High Contrast " LP contains another 3 tracks credited to Bobby Womack all of which can be found on Womack's own releases and 3 Szabo compositions one of which (Fingers) is credited to Szabo and Bass player Wolfgang Melz. The main reason for doubting the "drawing of straws" idea is that it is completely unnecessary, any number of people can be credited as composers of a track and usually are, regardless of what their contribution might be. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the track was "worked up" in the studio during the session, but if Gabor had played a major part in it's composition I feel sure that he would have insisted on a co-credit because there's money involved! This particular track must have generated huge sums in royalties over the years and whilst Gabor died in February 1982, Benson's version released on the album of the same name in 1976 had already sold millions and he would in all probability have wanted his "rightful share" if what you say is true. This may not be information to the contrary but when I interviewed Carlos Santana in 1978 (for the BBC) I asked him about Gabor because Carlos habitually goes into "Breezin'" when he plays "Samba Pa Ti" live. and he confided that Gabor would frequently come around to his apartment for a jam and that's where he picked it up. He also vouchsafed that the man was "not an easy person to like" because he was self-centred and had no interest in what anybody else was doing so it doesn't sound to me as though he was a person given to altruism who would hand over sole publishing rights involving millions of dollars. Anyway, it's all academic really, I suppose, with Bobby and Gabor both passed on and as far as ASCAP and PRS are concerned Mr Womack is the composer, but it's fun to conjecture on these things and maybe someone else will read our comments and come up with some cold ,hard and irrefutable facts on the subject - my best regards - Jay.

So Nice insert of "stormy weather" by bireli !!!!! @5:23

[@paulschneider7271]

Small detail, but for me the most interesting one: listen to the way Bireli is accompaigning. He stays under the surface and still carries the groove. Pretty difficult to get this tune sound like it should sound without drums and keys.

[@jckelley4198]

Right on with that. I would love to here a Benson Lagrene duet on this just because of both their rythm playing. George Benson is such a master rythm player as is Bireli.

[@TanjiroKamado-xm6vq]

yeah, noticed that too..dont know how to say it but theyre really gooooood
