Pat Metheny and friends - This Masquerade

Jazz Baltica 6.7.2003
Nils Landgren (vocal & trombone)
Lars Danielsson (bass)
Wolfgang Haffner (percussion)
Esbjörn Svensson (piano)
Pat Metheny (guitar)
Michael Brecker (tenor sax)

[@PabloVestory]

I don't know if is only me, (sure is not) but this performance in particular deserves a place in jazz Olympus. The groove, the dynamics, the voice, the improvisations, the team efort, Brecker... it has it all, Pure and Moving Magic. They pretty much play "in the pocket", "straightforward"... whatever, but i think that this really adds in this case.

[@PabloVestory]

Addemdum: after checking out all the versions of this tune i could find, including Benson's, Carpenters and a couple with the autor Leon Rusell himself and some gems, i reaffirm. This one is, by far, THE ONE

[@everythingisopen]

Olympus for sure! The groove is so deep and driven even without Danielsson pumping out 8th notes. The dry snare, kick and sometimes Metheny's muted chords does it all and then they can slowly open it up - fantastic!

[@blochincuius982]

@@everythingisopen Agree on the Olympus!

[@TaiChiBeMe]

yep.

[@mickcorea]

Esbjörns piano solo beats them all. He is really finding the chromatic in the diatonic that creates this Swedish national sound. We are the only country in the world who has wedding songs in minor 😅 No I am serious!

[@PabloVestory]

A little detail that speaks about the jam spirit of this take, and about the tremendous artistic expertice and humbleness of Michael Brecker: before starting his solo, he waits a little and observes, just in case anyone decides to play there, and only then he calmly starts to build and incredibly beautiful round solo. 2:18 Miss you, Mike

[@rezaman2080]

Wow man you are super observant! 😀

[@beediver]

You re not a musician, correct? We all do that....

[@Guy-em4ck]

Rofl. Everyone up there did the same. But it was super special when brecker did it? Omg brecker stood there in front of the music stand and it was somehow different than the others and I’ll never forget it.

[@PabloVestory]

@@beediver Incorrect. I'm a musician, love to jam, and I'm also observed that not everyone do that. That "listen to your bandmates and respect them" thing.

[@surfsouthaustralia6296]

Svensson's solo took me to another place.

[@surfsouthaustralia6296]

[@pauls4742]

channeling keith jarrett

[@PosauneundPapier]

After Metheny's incredible solo, I just wasn't sure if Landgren could match it. Proved me wrong! :D

[@stevek6518]

His guitar sounds like a horn. Amazing

[@nacienlos70]

One of my dreams is to see Metheny and Benson playing a blues toguether, so different approaches, such perfect timings. How come they have never collaborated?

[@budgiespat7883]

Michael Brecker and Esbjörn Svensson will live forever with performances like this .... Pat Metheney, Nils Landgrean & friends have made the spirit of JAZZBALTICA survive all odds .... could go on and listen forever .....

[@muzikaal19]

Yes I do agree concerning Esbjorn Svensson

[@Mama-Ames]

Oh yes. YESSSS. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@markkubiak8296]

The tremendous trombone solo and then the sensitive and nuanced voice!! Wow!!

[@andreiradtchenco9604]

Uluitor acest clip. Absolut toti cei care performeaza sunt muzicieni desavarsiti care au redat exact tema si spiritul temei. Magnific soloul lui Pat care iata reda la chitara folosind tehnica toate nuantele sax tenor , inclisiv pauzaele de respirat. Uluitor.

[@marthagrinnan6155]

An incredible song by Leon Russell. Great jazz arrangement by Metheny and Friends. Love the piano solo!

[@stevek6518]

I was thinking, what an amazing song written by Leon Russell that could be turned into such a jazz classic by these guys as well as George Benson

[@williamknell864]

Whoa. New favorite version of this song. Just amazing.

[@joanguillemponsmarroquin8530]

The best verssion, sublime, master piece, wowwwww, never tired

[@kevintownsend3840]

This guy's voice is like silky smooth,, and Brecker is his usual amazing self and well Pat is a virtuoso as well.

[@felipealfredodeblasiramire7091]

Por gente como esta es que el mundo tiene una oportunidad, si no nos salva la musica nada lo hara , esto es algo increíble de escuchar una maravilla para los oidos pero sobre todo para el alma .

[@kevinmanns7170]

One of the very best Jazz ensemble performances I've ever seen and heard. Staggering ability from all involved !!

[@guitarvoicebynight1612]

Wonderful version, Svensson's solo has an incredible tension...suspended from the beginning until its end.

[@leodyminski]

one of best covers i saw

[@Mama-Ames]

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!! God certainly knew what he was doing when he created these talented men!!! I love them ALL!!! But I have NEVER heard ANYONE EHHHHH-VERRRRR play a trombone like THAT!!!

[@markkubiak8296]

I agree! His playing is moving and absolutely stunning. Deeply beautiful.

[@Mama-Ames]

@@markkubiak8296 These exceptionaly gifted, MASTERFUL musicians, their collective PURE GENIUS... ALL on ONE stage; Metheny, Brecker, Landgren... COMPLETELY... BLOW... MY... MIND!!!

[@markkubiak8296]

Man what a sound!! Beautiful!!

[@markhartunian3077]

Pat's guitar sound is both awesome and crazy at the same time. I never get over his creativity. Love him so much. Nils voice is amazing.

[@joethornton890]

absolutely great!

[@sandyrotunda6458]

esbjörn svensson…what a great loss to the jazz world. God rest his soul.

[@markkubiak8296]

Nils has a distinctive jazz voice! Very expressive and fits this music perfectly. Thank you.

[@brendaspencer-yb9gj]

Feel just as transported each time I watch and listen to this again.

[@bejabeatejagelowitz5043]

Pięknie, tyle mocy w ludzkim głosie i głosie instrumentu 🌹

[@patrickbodineau8458]

Absolument grandiose! On ne s'en lasse jamais.

[@Ankiazuza]

Pat Metheny has become synonymous to greats like Quincy Jones

[@jadeprinces]

this is so awesome

[@JimboUSAF007]

Simply awesome!!! 💜

[@captalex84]

So good.....like someone said below im a never tired of it

[@tiluriso]

Wow! Listen to that Major 3rd Esbjörn Svensson is hitting @ 5:58-59! A Major Third over a minor tonic! But listen how he does it with rhythmic clarity/conviction, repeats it, 'turning a wrong into right'.

[@MarioBadred]

tiluriso yeahh u right, are u pianist?

[@tiluriso]

Guitarist, but I dabble on the piano - IMO the piano is the best instrument to understand chordal/voice leading and harmonic movement - and for reading too - each key only exists in one place on the musical staff, whereas on the guitar...I might be a frustrated pianist.

[@PabloVestory]

! It could be called a "D minor seven agmented tenth", "diminished forth, or eleventh", "minor third agmented"...lol

[@patricekawengian]

super funk jazz....awesome

[@lsapluspartnersllc8082]

This an incredible assemblage of talent & performance that will be extremely hard to match.

[@sylviane9738]

Quelle voix douce et mélodieuse, j adore cette version et les musiciens Waouhhhhhhhhhhh❤️❤️❤️👍

Unbelievable...the best trombone ever

[@arturofranciscomapula1757]

Oohhh what a sound...!

[@sandyrotunda6458]

I wonder (without offending others) how many (not in the music bus.) know Leon Russell wrote this amazingly beautifully song.

[@Keyznguitarz]

Interesting tone for MB. Even in the midst of unforgiving video recordings, this tone is greasy & pure, but kind of like played through a vintage Supro guitar amp. Amazing how great music lines transcend even the bit crunching life imposes.

[@homeyleclerk4632]

How many shall miss the artistry on tap here Metheny leaps and where do we follow but the band the audience the room and the night and we are near human again

[@dgib1694]

What a groove on Landgren's trombone

[@אליהומנחםהרשקופ]

Amazing !!!

[@tiluriso]

Great version, great solos. Nils Landgren has a nice singing voice, besides being a great 'Bone player.

[@markkubiak8296]

[@stevemartin4249]

This song needs to be re-titled ... 'Masker Aid'.

[@ChetBakerfweiouydh4567]

rip Michael Brecker

[@thesecondguitar]

how does he achieve that guitar sound? in the solo I mean. Is some kind of synthesizer?

[@stretch54]

A Roland GR-300 synth I think.

[@tiluriso]

Roland GR-300 Guitar Synthesizer, if I'm not mistaken - Pat basically uses that one 'Trumpet' patch.

[@tiluriso]

Alright, you beat me to it, cheers.
