Remembering Ray Brown featuring McBride, Green, & Hutchinson - Live from Jazz St. Louis

Bassist Christian McBride, pianist Benny Green, and drummer Gregory Hutchinson are among the most respected and well-loved purveyors of the modern American music we call jazz. They don’t get together much anymore, but when they do, you’d better reinforce the walls because the joint will be swinging’! This special engagement brings the three long-time musical compadres together to pay tribute to their mentor, legendary bassist Ray Brown. The joy will be infectious when this trio hits the stage!

Swing on Swing, dipped in Swing, slathered in Swing, drizzled in Swing, simmered in Swing, seared in Swing, and what comes out is pure, unadulterated....SWANG, SWANG, SWANG BABEEEE!!!!!!!!

[@williamscott1644]

I don't know if I'm hearing correctly, but I believe Benny Green's sound is evolving into something new.

[@bobdeboo8549]

I was sitting just off screen behind Benny, and it was one of the most swinging experiences of my life!

[@lincolnrossmusic]

three extremely gifted jazz players to say the least ... extraordinary chemistry

[@illie2852]

Greg Hutchinson: Insanely unique sounds and incredible finesse and flow around the kit Benny Green: Just keeps getting better and better as he gets older Christian McBride: literally just the best bass player alive

[@steveklein8283]

Saw Benny playing solo last night (6/17) at the Musical Instruments Museum in Phoenix.....Absolutely first class.....the audience LOVED him...Great show, great playing...

[@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743]

Benny Green just gets better and better as he ages ….

[@joshjaffe1796]

My only dispute is that he doesn’t age! But he does sure get better which is crazy considering how freakishly good he is

[@ellismanz7180]

When folks talk about young cats being the next big drummer, the next buddy rich drummer, or a swinging drummer, please compare it to this first. This is how it is done; this is the level that needs to be met; otherwise, it's a High School talent show; Hutch is crushing it as always, happy to see this. Thank you for posting it...A+++

[@damianbroderick3913]

Perfectly said sir!👍

Amen

Dawg Hutch is 54 years old, older than Christian McBride

Man I was going to say that Ray Brown is killing it and then I remembered it was Christian McBride! :-) well Christian can play too:-) haha

[@Josh-bp1km]

Thanks for the timestamps.

[@briankeith7463]

My God - Hutch is on fire, as usual! Milestones!!

[@intensifiednonchalance6770]

Tribute to my favorite Jazz artist by 3 of my favorite jazz artists. Doesn't get much better than this unless Ray could have joined them. 👍

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

Aaaaw man, so good. The class is through the roof. Rhythm, feel, phrasing -- it's here in premium. Hutchinson's got to be one of my top 3 all time favourite drummers. Whew!

[@paulnicolosi4792]

Ray was a great guy. I got to hang with him back in the 70’s after a seminar he and Joe Pass did in S Cal. He was nice enough to let me play his bass, which I believe, was a German bass from the late 1700’s. What a sound!

[@gregorsamsa3247]

PREACH ON BROTHAS!!! *gets up and starts doing a Monk dance*

[@EliaGaitau]

Absolute legends. What a fantastic tribute, and amazing energy. Thank you for sharing this.

[@innerlowbass]

What a fantastic tribute concert by Benny, Christian and Gregory!!!

[@metothemoon1227]

Greg switched from Sakae to Yamaha to mapex to pearl. I think his message is: It's not the drum it's the drummer that matter.. ;)

[@martyg374]

I have performed with Ray's son, a friend of mine. His dad was my favorite bass player of all time.

[@SchwarzeTasten]

Thank you Benny for all your great playing and hard swinging. I am always a big fan of your musicality. You are a big part of my jazz collection.

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Ray Brown, my favorite Upright Bass Player 👌🏿👌🏿❤️ Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@Groovelishis]

Now this is Jazz from three of the best musicians to keep it alive and well. Thanks gentlemen!

[@waynematthews8165]

I remember the earlier Benny Green albums. This brings it full circle for me! So swingin'!!

[@rembeadgc]

Such a high caliber of musicianship and artistry.

[@intuneorange]

Thanks for posting this. A day doesn't go by when I don't think of Ray Brown I learned so much about life from him..

[@briankeith7463]

Gumbo Hump at the 37 minute mark is unreal…such a strong beautiful 2nd line feel - Hutch’s solo is fire - swings hard!!’

[@dogmart]

McBride at 3:31. Wow!!! Great stuff.

[@alonsouch]

This shit SWANGIN'

[@kristianbraathentrio6958]

Love this! Ray Brown Trio was my first big name jazz concert, Gregory had just joined the trio, Benny on piano. It was a formative day for me, seeing these three amazing musicians. I would have loved to have seen this concert live!

[@rtel123]

Fond memories of when each of them played with Ray Brown.

[@45isome55]

観たかったライブ！ from Japan.

[@spikeklein270]

What an incredible mix of class and grit. No one better than these three amazing musicians to pay tribute to the Great Ray Brown!

[@mackdrakfop]

I love the recollection of Ray Brown at the 50th Anniversary Verve concert. ❤😂

[@mcruiz67]

Damn! Tradition, class, musicality, swing and more…a proper feel good gig! World tour next? 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@KevsSanders]

I had a beer and chat with Ray Brown backstage at the Catalina Bar and Grill in LA where he was playing with his trio back in '98 I think it was. I can't think of a finer trio to celebrate his amazing legacy. Christian McBride, I would sell my soul for that huge tone!

[@loveyouall66]

i had the pleasure of attending the 2-18-22 performance(friday night). it was out of sight.

[@danevansdesigner]

Three masters. Awesome gig. World class.

I'd like to suggest that next time keep the camera in a way we can she players interacting.

[@dexella]

bravo!

[@murimorello2690]

if u pause on 4:18 u can understand how it's done: he's using 3, b7, and the thong on b9 on that dominant, man is amazing.

[@hansabass]

So FAB

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Christian McBride is badass bassist, he was student of Ray Brown and so was Bassist Ben Wolfe who played with Harry Connick Jr. Ray Brown influence me too be a Double Upright Bassist. I curious to what strings Christian McBride is using? Thomastik Spircore Weich Medium or light gage or D' Addario Helicore Strings and etc.

[@intuneorange]

Chris is bliss
