Norman Brown - Lydian [Live]

[@Davinchistragicloss]

How on earth was there ever an empty table at this gig? He is amazing!

[@MrRicodemo]

I know? WTF?

[@mikebell4129]

Damn, he's playing the entire song with his rhythm hand strumming non-stop, even during the solos. Now that's Soul!

[@Kurt1969]

Just wow. Everyone bringing their A game to the table! Norman is just so under rated. His playing is stellar but that smile pushes it over the top!

[@gladiatorao3]

I've heard and followed many guitars artist, but Norman is one of the best.

[@elaineisabelle427]

Norman Brown is the man, best jazz guitarist out there.

[@adelsaaden2206]

excellent restera toujours un des grand morceau de norman brown .....

[@Unclem360]

Went out and bought CD after seeing this on TV.. Still have it in my stash

[@russellmusictv4403]

Saw this when it aired. Was so blown away by NB that I recorded the rest of the show on VHS. Inspires me as a guitarist, smooth and poignant with soulful accuracy.

[@joeyd199]

Who the hell gave this a thumbs down? Norman Brown is LIGHTS OUT.

[@danielllanos8856]

The WONDERFUL SOUND of a GENIOUS.

[@Yavwill]

I remember this! It was on BET on jazz, too bad they don't do that show anymore. There was some really cool stuff on there.

[@sayyestofairness4266]

BET has gone downhill, it's all gangsta rap all the time now. :(

[@oholm09]

@@sayyestofairness4266 and reality show and Tyler Perry shows

[@onlyjaz]

Back in May 2010, surprise, surprise..my lady landed 2 tickets for she and I at the DuSable to see NB. She scored major points as I had no clue he was blessing Chi at the time. Great set, ambiance, company and evening! NB was my sidekick back in the early 90's as I played ATS incessantly in the car for I was a sales rep logging major miles. Long live the gift of jazz music and its ability to speak without ever uttering a word!

[@brianmarek6159]

5 minutes of pure heaven

[@cs868]

Oh soooooooooooo smooth and with so much soul. The band is kickin' too.

[@stringsnthings866]

Norman Brown is a serious bad ass. He's in my top 5. Right up their with my all time favorite, Benson. I would love to see Norman and Benny duel it out for fun. That's That'd be awesome. Norman should be call George Jr. since he knows a good amount of those kick ass Benson licks. No lie. George and Norman aren't freakin' human, LoL.

[@arthurhinton2476]

What can I say, utterly brilliant!

[@lorrainejohnston1176]

just love norman brown incredible talent i could listen to him all the time no probs onya mate from downunder

[@lhdauphine]

This seems faster than his recording, but still as precise! Awesome.

[@reclavea]

Unfreakin' believable! Definitely a lot faster but in the groove! Got to see him here on Guam at the Hilton Hotel.....my band was gigging' at the hotel tree bar and on our break snuk in to the backstage ballroom (on stage) during his show.....I could hear the music behind a side curtain.....and there he was jammin' just 5 or 6 feet from me!! He turn right back and looked at me and smiled and kept ripping'! What an experience ! His band was awesome as well!! Totally awesome player!!

[@realitywakeupslap]

Great attack on the guitar he plays like a blues player.. Love the aggressive yet smooth playing its wonderful..

[@roofclip]

Truly one of the BEST.....

[@brianwrench]

How awesome is this! What a great sound , so tight and precise.

[@DeanMk1]

This is from BET's Jazz Central. I used to watch that show every night. Great stuff they put o there.Shoulda kept the show, or the BET on Jazz offshoot channel.
