I could listen to Bill and these guys play all day. Such loose and tasteful playing.....pure gold. ❤☮

[@michaelow-yong7908]

Larry makes the B3 so perpetually lovable. Great playing trio.

[@jamespeek3061]

Bill is so ridiculous... love this group. So reminds me of my time at berklee 23 years ago. Will never forget it...

[@sergecharette7465]

Fantastic musicians playing very tasteful music! PS: As a drummer, how not to recognize the immense talent of Bill Stewart, his creativity, his musicality, a true master. These guys are the cream of the crop!

[@cant1324]

Every time I watch this, I hear another little idea, another little phrase, little nuance of Bill Stewart. And I watched this a countless times. What an amazing drummer!

[@JamesHunterRoss]

Top of the food chain right here! So tight and melodic, holy crap, and the drumming. Masters right here...

[@DimitrisKarkoulias]

What a groove! You just can't ignore this drummer

[@sticktrik]

Bill Stewart is so underrated!!! This guy is one of the most distinctly recognizable players today!! His sound..the way he phrases, his touch!!!...You can spot his playing right away!!!

[@elmhurst86]

Under-rated? No one I know under-rates him. He is one of the best!

[@sticktrik]

elmhurst86 I’m referring to his notoriety there buddy!!! He is worthy of wider recognition!!!!!! Relax & take a chill pill!!!

[@islandfunhouse]

Peter Bernstein is one of the few modern jazz guitarists that has a distinctive voice. You know him immediately when you hear him. Great sensitivity to phrasing and motive.

[@msticdrumr]

In the 60s, at least on the east coast that I know of, it was the age of the great organ combos and it's such a joy to hear it alive and kickin' now but on the highest level, all around!!! Three masters of their respective "axes" who are great composers and leader individually but remarkably, they smoothly blend and fuse into a well-oiled music machine of superb sonic brilliance...WHEW!!!!!!!

[@rogerwallace2810]

Damn right it doesn't get any better than this, wow, I'm glad to have been alive through the 50s to now , to experience all of this great music!:-)

[@JamesHunterRoss]

Top of the food chain right here, all three! Off the hook, and tight! These guys rock!

[@archiemcelrath8374]

love me some Larry Goldings!!!!!!!! they r truly bringing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh myyyyyy

[@NaturesGesture]

Saw these guys live yesterday and it was a humbling experience. Made me realize how good it is to be a musician. Can't wait to see them again!

[@TullesP]

just came back from a concert of these guys. What a fantastic trio! No showing off, just great musicianship, groove and lovely sound. A well spent night.

[@najponkjazz9111]

Those guys are from another planet....terrific show!!!!

[@GuillermoCarrasco]

Best Trio in my list...

[@rieske2000]

I just love Pete’s sound. Nobody else but me just love it!

[@terrydrums]

I love that Bill's drums are different colors. It reminds me of the old Stephen Wright joke, "Hey, did you know your socks are two different colors?" "Yes, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness."

[@JanLarsenFredriksen]

To me this is one of the greatest and long lasting trios out there. Incredible band that's really playing together and making the music sound great all the time. Yeah, gotta love it :-)

[@babar_proboscus]

No applause on Larry Golding's solo on the slow blues starting at 37:18? Wow tough crowd! Great show. thanks WBGO!!

[@BiBiKvachi]

Don't know Why is the Audio so low, but I LOVE this great Trio... Total pleasure.

[@mattshank22]

Bill Stewart is such an awesome drummer. I saw him play here in Minneapolis w/ John Scofield a couple years ago. Man, I wish I had half his chops on the kit.

[@madbebopper]

One of the best organ-guitar trios on the scene now or any time as far as I'm concerned. All three of these guys are giants on their instruments and I can't say enough about this. Those who feel it's necessary to avoid playing so-called "Straight ahead" should take their lessons from this. You can be fresh and hip and still swing and play changes! ' My hat's off to this great trio!

[@oddskarberg9675]

I agree with everything you say about this amazing trio. Gigants! Let me just add, that Goldings is a skilled bass player as well. The way he improvises, while he keeps the whole ensembelt together with feets and left hand - a great achievement. He is also a great jazz pianist; Listen to last album with John Schofield - Country for old men. Keep on swinging - in that trilling, intelligent way!

[@mikeos1]

Larry is great on a borrowed B3 as well. He's played a couple of times at my club in the UK. Ross Stanley always lends Larry his instrument.

[@stonelenny]

Totally agree.

[@Mr1drumlover]

Bill Stewart is by far, if not the best, one of the best Jazz drummers of the 21st century... PERIOD!!!!!!! You simply can't play Jazz and Blues any better then this yo!!!!!!

[@no1shere710]

If Elvin or Tony were alive and around today would either of them be much better? I don't think so.

[@johnlacques8680]

I'd put Brian Blade right there with Bill. Seen them both many times...man!

[@danoloane]

Agreed. Bill and Brian are my two favorite drummers on earth.

[@sticktrik]

John Lacques I would love to hear Bill Stewart with Chick Corea!!! I hope they play together one day!

[@joenickerson8443]

love this organ player! knew all the old and the new but larry I never knew.. damn europe! my favorite group to listen to on youtube at the moment.. jam on guys! 🎸😎

[@mullionsound]

My favorite organ trio.

[@JamesHunterRoss]

Top of the food chain right here... how lucky, HOW FREAKING LUCKY.. am I, because I hear this, I get to be with this, I hear it, I get it. So much fun. What a trio!

[@backbeatben]

One of my favorite trios!!!!

[@chazb2907]

Thank you for posting. Thank you Peter, Larry and Bill :)

[@SimonOslender]

Larry, one of my all time favs!

[@sillyilly]

state of the art jazz drumming right here.

[@jeremynorbury]

+Ilios Steryannis Larry plays that organ like few others too...

[@uyuyuy_bajura]

peter is top notch... and what about Larry. I think it doesn't get much higher than this trio, in general

[@peterkadarmusic9728]

Got damn Larry is so good.

[@gilnicbobby]

The Tone of these three are so well matched it makes it a joy to listen to. Wish they gigged in my town!

[@lalissesebastien1891]

What a fantastic band... Thanks for this beautiful and soulful music.

[@AnnaliseStalls]

I am having a hard time stopping listening to this. Feels so good!

[@MrX-rf5pm]

Just beautiful!!!

[@56denario]

Peter Bernstein when he gets down on the tune Danger Zone you see why he is a the best Guitar player on the planet hands down. Turn the lights down and let him play to the rhythm of the universe. He is the man.

[@illusiongenius]

L O V E T H I S !!! thx Larry, Bill and Peter, you guys are awesome.

[@davidvelleman6655]

larry young is of the utmost importance 2 the 20th century organ. completely underrated.

[@jeremynorbury]

+David velleman Goldings...but I completely agree.

[@jazzlives]

Fire Joey D and hire Larry Goldings, I say.

[@mikeos1]

They're on a UK short tour. They played at my local club (Watermill, Dorking). Great gig. Many local UK musos came just to check out the band. Larry borrowed Ross Stanley's Hammond B3 and Leslie speaker. Great evening.

[@larspedal]

Real Music, great Players and Performance. Bill Stewart is my favourite contemporary Jazz Drummer. Like his Sound and Feel.

[@lynnbakerjazz]

Great to hear Larry so soon after his master class at University of Denver and performance at Dazzle in Denver. Tune in to the NYE Jazz Set to hear his set from Dazzle.

[@danoloane]

This is just too good. What a pleasure to have this superb trio so well documented- here and elsewhere. Their Live at Smoke DVD is epic, too. They were born to play together...

[@user-ig7nq7pc7k]

Great trio - love them. But this is the Village Vanguard, folks; you would think someone would have mastered this at a volume that could be listened to! I have everything cranked and I'm still in the other room. C'mon folks. No excuse for this today.

[@mattkwest468]

Just saw this and I totally agree. A great band recorded at this jazz institution deserves better sound treatment.

[@Tomica031]

it's like they literally just took live audio, which was probably low gain because of small room and big speakers enough and uploaded that

[@LGUMI]

Love the band! especially the drummer! cheers!

[@stephenborgfield7278]

So nice!! Starting to love the B3.

[@kreatingsound4946]

in 1998 john riley told me that stewart "Practiced" his licks..I had no understanding, now hearing this, I understand it!

[@Gminor7]

Love these guys! Only thing better than hearing them is seeing them at the same time. Many thanks!

[@maxdrums5674]

Bill Stewart great!!

[@amedeonicoletti2690]

One of the best organ-guitar trios on the scene now

[@guitargod6997]

Love this sound! Modern jazz with great heart and soul! Bravos to all the musicians here.

[@BrianBaggett]

Beautiful music!

[@guylimoges2646]

C'est super et c'est ce que je vais entendre demain au Upstairs Jazz bar à Montréal! Quelle chance que nous avons!

[@jpb318]

Man, Bill Stewart has the best sounding jazz drums ever.

[@Slammintone]

Always has. Also very easily identified on just about any record he’s played on and there’s a boatload of them!

[@jpb318]

@@Slammintone That Great Gretsch sound

[@Slammintone]

Jason Burns The hammered bronze Supra too. Best of all those amazing trashy cymbals with the warm wood tip click.

[@jpb318]

@@Slammintone I like Maceo Parker Mo Roots. Great funk drumming there...

[@Slammintone]

Jason Burns Tim Hagans “No Words” too.

[@harriheinsoo]

what a great sounding concert, you can really hear everything so clearly, great quality. The subtle reverb of Peter's guitar and the definition of the organ's bass notes. So goood.

[@edudzzaj]

Man, this is so good. What a trio :)

[@jazzotubakeysmatic8403]

simply great! Thanx for uploading.

[@gabrielarrigone3933]

Hermoso concierto, me hace acordar al disco "Talking about" de Grant Green...gracias por compartir este video. Saludos desde BsAs

[@jjemsnd7]

Saw them in San Diego last September. Amazing. Great sense of humor too!

[@Artistimberlake]

i learned alot watching larry play when i was growing up such a great influence

[@2112CO]

I saw these guys at Dazzle in Denver last year and they are returning in January can't wait. I like all three but Bill is a super bad ass player.

[@jazzterboi1]

Thank you so much for posting this! I can't stop watching it. My favorite youtube video.

[@rogergaither3421]

Very nice playing, a true tribute to the jazz organ trio, thumbs up!!

[@Vazmusic]

Sounds wonderful. Great playing Peter.

[@wyrdstone85]

Peter's guitar sounds exactly how I want mine to sound when my playing grows up.......

[@jazzsize8428]

Me too. Keep going

[@harriheinsoo]

I think he plays a ziedler with a gibson 57 humbucker through a fender amp, gets you one step closer. the rest is in his hands and mind.

[@Cymbalgroove]

Dig Bill at 31:17. Always loved this trio. They do so many things great and are like a well-oiled machine!

[@yoshy321]

Thanks! Great musicians!

[@billroue1]

So swinging with the utmost in taste…..wonderful

[@roadrocket7]

Same group as on Bill Stewart's 1st solo outing on Blue Note, called "Snide Remarks". Brilliant trio. These guys just blend with each other so well. I notice Bill isn't using his famous hand-hammered brass Ludwig snare. No matter, it still has Bill's unmistakable tone. The groove is so deep it puts me in a trance. Big fan of Larry and Peter as well. Top notch NY jazzers. Doesn't get any better.

[@freddybass1179]

uno de mis mejores regalos del año pasado , ver a estos tres grandes en vivo!!!! uuuffffff

[@yarpyarp85]

oh god. thanks fer this

[@rogierasselt4972]

freakin' awesome!!! I love this trio. I've seen this band live over here ( Holland) . it was a great concert. Top notch organ trio!! Thanks a million for the upload..

[@dggd]

Very refreshing, and soothing set. I enjoyed it very much!

[@frednow]

I could not possibly love this music more! (Except the very low volume ... why?)

This sounds so good!

Excellent vibe!

This group is tight and I like the approach to the music. Joe Saulsbury

[@Werdo121]

There is so much sick organ bass on here. Multiple spit takes.

[@moronpt]

.. at last a new jazz guitar giant !!! Love him !!

[@toddvg6940]

Somebody stole the volume! LOL. This is a killer trio-A total favorite! Though we know the difficulties of live recording, this was done by WBGO @ the Vanguard, so I assume a good engineer was on hand. But before mastering for KZbin, it seems nobody checked the VU meters (old school term lol). Just because they’re color coded now, doesn’t mean “make sure nothing hits Red”. A few DB peaks above Red on the meters (especially on louder tunes) IS the standard for digital, (& distortion is nil). This great performance is barely audible. Something I miss about mastering for vinyl and CD was you had to conform to one of the “rainbow book” standards (orange, red, etc). These ran the spectrum (pun!) from eq’ing to standardized volume across media. Now that everyone’s a “*home engineer”: standards have vanished. *Definition: “One who buys a lot of cool looking gear, but doesn’t use the best equipment they own: Their EARS!” 😂 Ok, I’ve ranted enough! It’s in the “Van Gelder” genome 🙂 No doubt from my late uncle Rudy. I just wish he or I had mastered this. :-} What a smoking band! Cheers. TVG.

Pretty much a clinic on everything to do right. L Goldings makes such great choices. The little thing he does at 20:12 with the tone profile keys is just brilliant.

[@adammcculloch5614]

swings so fine

[@Neverokful]

Wow, truly sublime and as good as it gets man. Does anyone know if this available on CD/Download?

[@johanguep_36]

me encanta ese concierto

[@Hhelm01]

Well, Sir Larry is The Man, proof once again. The best since Larry Young, me thinks ....

[@marcstreiff8511]

AWESOME MUSIC

[@Casio61]

It doesn't get much better than this trio, got most of their CDs. On a totally different thing, having been to the VV, how on earth does he get a Hammond and Leslie speaker down those tiny stairs?
