Amazing how great the big bass sounds in this music. Ace player!

[@audicab11]

Best concert I´ve ever seen and listen too, already so many times, this music is from heaven !

[@user-bl4rc7cv9b]

Can't thank you enough. I had a marvelous time listening to this concert.

[@Ashgrove17]

Amazing how music knows no boundaries when it comes to age. Dave Grusin is probably 82/83yrs old in this clip and Lee's son Weston , well all I want to say is, there's probably close to sixty years between them. Fantastic news for the future of jazz.

[@ECo-ECo-ECo]

Tom Kennedy's bass playing is purely fantastic! My first time seeing him, but what a revelation....WOW!

[@rtcastleberry]

roflmao! I was just thinking his bass playing was the best replication of a Mexican food fart I'd ever heard.

[@bradking1067]

Tom Kennedy is a truly wonderful, amazing musician.Thanks so much for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply Shalom 🎸 🔊🏞️⛰️🏔️🎊🎉✨🎇🎆🎈🐕🕊️🌷✝️❤️

[@tedhernandez2394]

Wow!! Glad I was able to hear/see this video!!! Lee and company are extraordinary!! I never realized his son played. Nice, real nice!

[@hartokooetomo352]

Amazing Dave and Lee. Thank you. #greetings from Bali. 🎼🎹🎸

[@bobcathey8903]

Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen Productions (GRP) is probably my favorite record label. They have provided me the most smooth jazz music in my collection. Awesome!

[@CecilDSouza]

American Jazz legends... I started hearing their music on my way to work from NJ to PA in 2000, and I am from India (Canadian) who always listened to English music but we had no Englisg radio music when I grew up - cassettes!!. USA, an Incredible country with incredible musicians. I never knew that Dave Grusin was so old, even at that time. Great videographer who focused correctly and an intelligent video editor who perfected the art.

[@bogthing1]

The bass player moonlights as a mad scientist. Very enjoyable, thank you!

[@SuperBeretta391]

Yes, indeed..!

[@abdallamusico1188]

Que maravilha. Ouvir duas músicas de Tom Jobim: Stone Flowers e Chovendo na roseira, tão bem executadas!

[@rebeccagreene3271]

Beautiful! This is so fantastic.this is on fire! Thank you!

[@pallhe]

Lee always sounds amazing, best tone, matures like a fine wine. What a class act. I surely wouldn't mind having one of his L5 signatures, although I'm sure they cost an arm and a leg.

[@chrisrobertson9264]

Wow that was the tastiest music I’ve heard in a long time 😉👍❤️

[@papunAlicea]

Great...nice concert...great performance...thanks for share

[@bb-bblues]

[@timothycroke5307]

Love Wesley’s playing, very musical.

I still recall GRP "Grusin Ritenour Production" now watching them performing together👍👍

[@bobcathey8903]

[@jimneely2052]

First time I've heard Tom Kennedy... WOW.

[@mikes.2181]

This is fantastic! Watching this I am wishing that we had more live smooth jazz here locally. We are fortunate enough to have Dot Sero HQ'd right here in town, and they host a variety of smooth jazz artists beyond themselves. I would love to see Lee live, as this concert displays how talented they all are...and Lee is fun to watch, and you can see on his face how much he loves what he does...always smiling. Kudos to the cameramen and editing as well. Great jazz, thanks for posting. Ps- Lee I hope your health is getting better, and so sorry to hear about your house in Malibu. :-(

[@dickhowser4659]

What was his health problem? And, what, did the home slide down the hill in Malibu? Wildfire casualty?

[@user-fu5kq7qp2q]

Старая Гвардия! Как всегда, на высшем уровне! Потрясающе!

[@johnsnyder3490]

I didn't know Lee had a son named Wes who plays drums. Very cool! He's a great drummer! Looks like Mr. Grusin is ready to go to On Golden Pond but he can sure still play! Tom Kennedy is awesome! And Lee, well he's one of the greatest jazz guitarist alive!

[@johnmaer]

I just don't care for nepotism, in politics, in business, and in show business or the arts. It really grates on me. The youngsters need to make it on their own, stake their own course.......otherwise, this is just more being born with a silver spoon in the mouth and having life served on the proverbial golden platter. The stench of favoritism, bias, and unfairness permeates the air on appearances like this....Lee has used some awesome percussionists and bass players on previous appearances at this venue....tis a shame they are no where to see seen here.

[@TheGenebeats]

@@johnmaer I don´t like that either. I was booked to play yet another TV show and the MD brought in his son, and I refused to play with his son on national TV. I kept the gig and the son didn´t get the gig. The price : The MD is still pissed at me. Parents wants to help their kids no matter the cost.

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Best Tone Period. My guy!!

[@roberta9001]

I like it ! Wow ! Realy good music.

[@markweymouth3243]

I love Grusin's shirt...very snazzy Dave!

[@musicaadventista1970]

Hoy en día todo es lujos y detalles, pero esto, estooo es ADORACION EN ESPIRITU Y VERDAD.

[@robertsjostrand6456]

Lee has very good and clean tone

[@travelerseven9828]

Thank you!

[@goodguy2627]

OMG 😳 this bassist is out of this world. What a..... 😳

[@kiltt1]

Maravilhoso!!!!

[@borgullet3376]

DAMN !!! Lee's baby boy can LAY IT DOWN !.... Wow.

[@johnmaer]

Not sure about that. Are you a drummer? Lee has used some of the best percussion and rhythm/bass players in the session world. Why depart from what already works?

[@dickhowser4659]

LOL

[@DavidJames-wo5ip]

All of them are original bad-asses.

[@luisalbertodiazyubero5382]

Smooth!!

WESLEY RITENOUR HAS ENOUGH TOUCH TO DO THE JOB. AS FATHER AS SON

[@johnmaer]

Carl, are you the Perkins who composed "Honey Don't"? Not sure I agree with your assessment of the drummer having enough touch. It's not necessarily about touch.....it's about keeping time, offering interesting fills, etc.

[@manguera9]

john+ when i said ""welley has enough touch to do the job" , i meant he can play drums,if i have to be analitic in what he is doing in the songs , i let his father Lee do that ,and i think wesley can fix.

[@dennylibertario2246]

@@manguera9 Ugh, as you say I guess. Fact is Mr. Ritenour has played with some excellent drummers.....I'm not convinced or persuaded that his son is there for any good reason other than he is Lee's son. A lot of guys can keep time or play drums....but to perform in this air or company....it usually requires a person with some special skill or prodigy.....not sure about that here. Ever hear of the word "nepotism"? If not, look it up.

[@manguera9]

@@dennylibertario2246 the kid may not has the experience of of the great drummers that worked with Lee, but he has talent.....I remember long ago Larry Carlton brought his son Travis to play bass in his band, and he said " i am not bringing my son to play with me cause is my son,i am bringing cause i think he is a good bass player""

[@petewentz3528]

@@manguera9 Wes R. doesn't strike me as an impressive percussionist....no bones about Travis. I've seen/heard Travis 10-15 years ago. Larry has had him out on the road for a long time. Clearly, Travis can play very good bass guitar......but, CP, you're asking me to compare apples and oranges. Doesn't work that way. Wes Ritenour is not a good drummer; Travis Carlton is a very competent bass guitar player, and yes, he is Larry's son. What am I missing?

[@humblegeorge]

11:14 the fellow on the Bass is smok'in the rascal !!!!

[@jazzistkeyz9550]

Super wowwww... like father like son...

[@dickhowser4659]

You haven't seen enough Lee on tour or in jazz fest concerts. Lee usually performs with some excellent percussionists. He usually demands the best in terms of bass and percussion. His son just came on board and most of us haven't seen what you see.

[@paulmcgrath2430]

With musical proficiency like this it would make you wonder if they practice while asleep? Tom Kennedy is a scary dude! All masters in their own right. It's like going on a surprise trip, just close you're eyes!!

[@kavemankarl2588]

There seems to be two versions of this performance on youtube. You can tell because one of them has audio issues while the other sounds great.

[@misterdavid5400]

This is the better version

[@kavemankarl2588]

@@misterdavid5400 Yes. The other one has one of the channels off kilter, it lags and it is obviously out of phase with the other. Not a temporary phase shift, the whole concert is like that. That would probably not be apparent to a casual listener using bluetooth speakers but with headphones it's unlistenable to.

[@noelzhu1986]

Love that les paul.

22:35 Wes Bound actually sounds a little like the Dead's West LA Fadeaway opening riff.

[@keltonbolokonya5442]

Effortless playing by Quartet. Dave and Lee amazing. What is the title of the music which starts at about 34 minutes

[@camilobaquero486]

homenaje a Wes Montgomery a los 22.45!!!

[@Tropimax]

que ironias da la vida ellos fabrican los instrumentos y al final terminan escuchandolo a manos de quienes le aventaron la bomba

[@davel.9467]

I enjoy their version of "Stone Flower" as much as Santana's. And that's saying a lot!

[@davidwinn721]

I find it interesting that the track laid dormant for decades.....a great tune and quite a tribute to the genius of Carlos Santana and his band....but no one that I'm aware of really did covers of this track for the last 40 years.....until Ritenour and Grusin incorporated it into their live performances the last 5 years or so. It is so not-hard-rock, so not Latin soul/percussive.....more abstract jazz-fusion-light rock...hard to believe this was a Santana piece. I'd guess most of the folks in the audience here or elsewhere when performed don't have a clue what they are listening to.

[@jesmor77]

I thought GRP meant Gruisin Rosen production

[@marcelooliveirasilverio7431]

Showww! Eu ouvi isso mesmo em 42:13 ?

[@pakaltheone]

Ce que la musique doit être ...................

[@mateodelcastillo7186]

The drum pattern is a reggae steppers style with other tidbits thrown in.

Great! - I'd rather Hadrien Ferraud on bass

[@oooSoundOfLifeooo]

They're good, but this show was kind of average... no single moment stays in memory after it's over. The son is OK, he's...well, the son... I gotta admit, though, that the bass player was really a notch above the rest!

[@36index]

Drummer isn't in the pocket

[@davidwinn721]

Just not sure about Lee's son and the drum groove he offers from time to time.....just doesn't sound as convincing and consistently good as the people that Ritenour has used over the years. Any drummers out there?
