Ray Charles - Birth Of A Band

[@pietersiahaija4698]

" ..... this what most people never had seen, including me, this is fenomenal for someone who is actualy blind ... most of the people seen him playing piano on his own, I think they never saw him as a big band leader, he was influenced by Lowell Fulson, who had also been a big band leader .... "

[@i1am2alex3]

wow a video with no dislikes thats just th amazingness of ray charles and his awesome band

[@pennstatefan]

This is pure genius!

[@dongkysp8870]

OMG...Real musicians playing a real music in real time. No overdubs. No pro-tools editing. No drum fix-synch. No digital sound processor. No this...No that...but beautifully crafted******

[@612franklin]

Greatly admire the respect between those instrumentalists. Damn! They show us How!

[@mclosterman]

fantastic, as exciting now as it was then.

[@kenikoop]

Good grief! I didn't believe you at first: that really is Tina Brooks! Wow! Not only does the guy resemble him, but he's playing the same type of horn and he sounds just like him. Nice call!

[@bluv6]

In the tenor duet that's David 'Fathead' Newman on the left and the great underrated Tina Brooks (check out his Blue Note albums!) on the left. The tune is Qunicy Jones' Birth of a Band.

[@elsuffi]

Iraaaaado!

[@3nathan]

these men put in werk here!!!!

[@laurentgriffon698]

Si je ne me trompe pas, ce morceau a été initialement composé par Quincy Jones et il est le titre d'ouverture d'un album au titre éponyme.

[@bluv6]

In the tenor duet that's David 'Fathead' Newman on your left, and the great underrated Tina Brooks (check out his Blue Note albums!) on your right. The tune is 'Birth of a Band' by Quincy Jones.

Ele é o cara...

[@c.s.jackson7214]

He can play that saxophone better than most of with sight can play.

[@612franklin]

Way of the way (!!!!)

[@gabifli]

rei charles rei do soul

[@acdcgraphics]

Wholy sh#t so fantastic, blows my brain

[@tyleryesta1]

The person above got it. Back in the day you had one or two takes to get it right. They didn't have the option to punch in or layer tracks. Musician still do it the old way (god bless them) cause they know thats where the magics at. Hope that explains it for ya.

[@ccheshire9]

Jackie Payne I think the other tenor player is Don Wilkerson,from Houston.

[@buckarmstrong]

That is definitely Tina Brooks - he toured with Ray in 1963.

[@raefblack7906]

My Kinda Group.

[@eric669]

my goodness...

[@MeLikaDBluesHarp]

this is slick....

[@miphka66]

The other tenor soloist is Tina Brooks, who's on a bunch of good Blue Note records, both as a leader and as a sideman.

[@srercrcr]

I liked Ray playing organ better. The BEST

[@colincampbell6002]

How can anyone say such a comment regarding Mr Brooks,unless they are not well informed of the specifics of his contribution to that great american art form called Modern Jazz?

[@CJ81]

definitely Tina Brooks, burning stuff.

[@james29157]

@tyleryesta1 yeah,when they had a one special talent better back then versus in 2010 but some musician alright it depends.

[@tyleryesta1]

Well I don't think we'll be talking about peoples synthesizer horn sections in 30 years. Making real music maybe expensive, but you can't put a price on timelessness.

[@musicmenace78]

1963...when you wanted a big band sound with 13+ players....you had to hire 13 + people!!! not push a freakin button!!

[@EricScottReed]

@watsonp143 DEFINITELY Tina Brooks

[@postatility]

Sounds like a Quincy Jones chart.

[@colincampbell6002]

No piece of software/programmer/dj can come remotely anywhere within a fraction of a millimetre anywhere near a note of this performance......

[@jaythomasjazz]

I think that is Hank Crawford on tenor...I'm almost sure of it! I don't think it's Tina

[@miphka66]

Yeah, it's definitely Tina, it's been confirmed by people who knew him.

[@dilmola]

Really.

[@B-ROCK89Production]

which 1 is fathead?

[@gnembhard]

Old Quincy Jones song

[@colincampbell6002]

Some folk wouldn't know great music if it hit them in the face........

[@Marlg]

tina brooks

[@Bigrusssthefuss]

just think around this time, ray and half the band was strung out on Hehrawn!

[@sgrroiii]

Sure looks like Tina . Are you sure it's Tina ? This is not meant as a challenge or anything . Just a question from a fan.

[@james29157]

@tyleryesta1 are

[@fatheadthedog]

it ain't hank crawford. tina brooks

[@billygee12]

Bb

[@miphka66]

Jackie dug Tina, he used him on his record "Jackie's Bag", an absolute classic. And I agree, this is not Tina's best work...actually, Fathead kind of fucks him up.

[@colincampbell6002]

Got a horn? Piano? Guitar? Find out yourself lol!

[@tyleryesta1]

When musicians weren't as lazy.

[@impulsobytheshades]

tina was containing himself or something, i know fathead also was a beast but tina is better overall period

[@raefblack7906]

Are you trying to imply Decus69 does not know good music?

[@decus69]

i really don't think Tina brooks was tenor battling material. to much lyricism
