Three Views of a Secret - Richard Bona and Metropole Orkest

[@svenjansen2134]

One of the prettiest composions ever. Maybe THE. It's the best song I've ever heard I'm obsessed almost.

[@ronbusch6753]

It's a piece that brings me peace, and I actually emoted when i heard the version with Jaco and Toots!

[@waynefoote3781]

That was unbelievable!

[@kennethvenezia4400]

Thank you for this beautiful version of TVOS. Great musians playing Jaco's music. Miss him dearly.

[@jefffelderman2409]

I can't say enough about how much I love this timeless masterpiece of Jaco's. This is the kind of music that emits magic throughout the universe. Somewhere out there Jaco is smiling over this amazing arrangement.

[@svenjansen2134]

It's a gorgeous tune and stands the test of time. This will be one of the classic compositions. It already is. Jaco is a Saint.

[@roburrage]

One of my most favorite songs of all time! I had the honor and pleasure to have performed it on a number of occasions with Jaco and sometimes just as duo before the band came in! What and incredible composition and very nice arrangement Scott Ninmer, wow thank you!

[@math2art]

beautiful :)

[@PatriotSteve]

I know you've performed with many of the greats, would love to hear a recollection or two of Jaco if you wouldn't mind. Love this tune also!

[@jeanlucchapelon]

Incredible piece of music ! Jaco where are you now ?

[@reichlinsmall9765]

What an incredible experience to have had, and I'm sure you had others, as well!

[@conocastro1484]

Genial!!!JACO y Richard!!!

[@BassPlayerNcl]

Excellent arrangement- the harmonies are so clear and Bona's bass just soars over everything. Bravo!

[@noelhall945]

Pity, I was thinking the Orchestra was too much for the solo.

[@waynefoote3781]

@@noelhall945 Naw man.......this is elite! It compliments the song that a bass is featured prominently because Jacos main tool was that Bass.

[@SimpleSimonUTubeUser]

Thank you Scott for your thoughtful and beautiful arrangement of Jaco's masterpiece. I'm sure Jaco would approve some new little extra pieces and your approach and would be proud. And of course I thank all the musicians who performed beautifully. One of my beloved compositions ever. Feel happy everytime even when I took bass and simply play over the record sound some root notes.

[@waynefoote3781]

Complete and Utter Justice to this beyond outstanding composition by a pure genius!

[@denisleroy9340]

Incredibly beautiful cover. Richard Bona is a bass wonder.

[@jvpansacola]

Brilliant. Does justice to this timeless Jaco composition.

[@jimbosteen2935]

I met RB at guitar center 14st Guitar Center. He had just bought a PC and was in his way out the door. He was kind enough to stop for a quick photo. The sales guys were like "who's that?" Legend! God bless him and his wonderful talent.

[@catherineleymarie9161]

The Genius of JACO !!!

[@icla27]

Thank U for the music!

[@PhilippePriam]

Never hear such a great self taught bass player. Félicitations Richard👌🏾👌🏾

[@francisromero6300]

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful!!

[@frankysuarez]

What happens from 1:41 to 1:50 (bones, flugels and horns) is just harmonic genius! Brilliant! 3:12 to 3:20 also magic.

[@BTritone]

One of my fav. Jaco tunes and tunes overall. Love performing it on flute and/or soprano sax Thanks!

[@davidbeka5281]

A master piece

[@artofbrass]

Great composition and Great arrangement.

[@dragomirmarinov3891]

Makes you want to keep living!

[@mattcartwright4278]

It's sad that all 320 of us who liked this video (so far) are probably bass players. This great music should be enjoyed by all across the world

[@pleximanic]

That is probably true ! luckily i am a musician who play bass!

[@jefffelderman2409]

I am a guitarist who loves all kinds of amazing music. This masterpiece just may be my favorite jazz tune of all time. Richard Bona is an extra-terrestrial, just like Jaco was.

[@LucilleBrawl17]

I have a little background in music and I absolutely love Jaco's works. This is lovely to no end!

[@jonathanamaral3436]

Essa música mexe muito comigo... É a minha preferida do meu músico preferido!

[@mjjm5511]

Just spectacular!!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

OMFG ! I LUW Richard Bona ... He´s the ONLY dude , i heard , that REALLY embodies Jaco Pastorius SOUL, on his Bass - just WOW !

[@juanestadian8471]

I agree. There is a guy from Senegal you should check out. His name is Habib Faye. He died tragically about three years ago, but his work is phenomenal

[@juanestadian8471]

My mums doesn’t like jazz but she loves this song. I think he wrote it for Ingrid, the Indonesian woman he eventually married

[@somosnozesrecords744]

Emocionante 😢 top

[@tmdaexhibits]

Richard! Nice! Great Arrangement!

[@KennethBruce]

Beautiful Orchestration!!

[@musicartgeek]

One has to think Jaco would be doing one of those Jaco smiles

[@rikaman8534]

breath taking beautiful

[@mariagonzales4056]

sensibilidade é respeito pela música! tudo lindo! maravilhoso!

[@dojufitz]

It is wonderful they paid respect to the composer Jaco by being played by the full monty....cute tune. Jaco had a lot of talent but unfortunately was cut short.

Une merveille!

[@bille9243]

Nice arrangement!

[@tzolo]

Jaco, mago brillante !!!

[@doublebassage]

Sublime.

[@alessandromattioli6233]

Bellissimo! WoW

[@cliptop100]

This arrangement is wonderful. One of my favorite pieces of music.....and, of course, Richard Bona:) Also, who is this drummer? Great player!

[@zamanakitoki2008]

Drummer's name is Martijn Vink.

[@rovikab6561]

[@jeandipita4033]

Lovely and i'm not amaizing coming to this great man ... Bona

[@happytime3972]

美しい曲です。

[@vanischumi966]

Without salt and pepper. If you play jaco. You have to play with your heart.

[@carlapinney907]

Congrats

[@Piero2374]

Farò forse un commento impopolare ma questa interpretazione di "Three Views of a Secret" non la trovo particolarmente esaltante! Bona è uno straordinario bassista, grande, davvero grande… ma mi sarei aspettato qualcosa in più.. Il brano è una magnifica composizione di Jaco, forse la più bella, la più profonda, è merita.. forse con qualche in nota in meno.. ed un po' di "poesia" in più..

[@mjjm5511]

Or what? just the best thing ever. They're all so in the pocket. I describe it as a lazy sway. well done

[@chaledadams5883]

great cover! but some comments said Bona's solo is just too much. thought it is started at 3:45. it s pretty decent and beautiful before that marked time

[@paulemmanuelenyah3457]

3:44 ✊

[@wackenthaljef]

This "Sharky" Bona!!!

[@jeanlucchapelon]

The version w only JACO and Toots is the best !!

[@josesebastianneculespinoza2123]

me hizo lagrimear

[@TheFaithArtist]

This is delicious!

[@guitarplayer8627]

Yea

[@pc-edy9229]

The great Richard Bona doesn't seems too comfortable playing with the orchestra. Light applause!. Shame he didn't arrange any line with his wonderful voice.-

[@paulobastos1774]

Love the piece... still prefer the original intense melodic sobriety from Jaco.

[@epeedooh12]

Bona is quite simply the perfect embodiment of the musical syncretism that is the port city of Douala, a crossroads of the most varied musical influences: makossa, soukousse, salsa, jazz fusion, R&B, Flamenco With models inspired by local (Manu Dibango, Francis Bebey, Medjo Messon, Jeannot Karl...) and international (Jaco Pasterius, Stanley Clark...)

[@eastonpeter1242]

"musical syncretism"..What?

[@aeroslipton]

I love, love, love Jaco,love this song, and don't doubt that Richard Bona is a gifted player, but the thing that ruins it for me with him every time is, all the atonal, hyper-noodling that he does. To have the opportunity to play 'Bright Size Life' with Pat Metheney, or 'Three Views ' with a full orchestra, are amazing(read:AMAZING) opportunities, but it would just mean so much more if he played it straight, & interjected little bits to enhance the tune- Jaco had a great ability to do that, & lay out where it was necessary, but on this one, after about 3:15, it's just a chops explosion, which is a turn off for me....

[@YsenleMagnifique]

I was exactly going to say the same, richard bona is incredible but here he plays way too much.

[@KennethBruce]

Andy Kaiser Hahaha lol atonal, hyper-noodling? Ok...Ok...I think I would do better ..but hey!?! Who am I??? Cheers

[@tmdaexhibits]

Andy Kaiser When you're the featured soloist, channeling Jaco of all people, aren't you supposed to strut your chops? I find his solo sublime.

[@travelingman9763]

Less then type of player makes remarks that indicate how deficient they truly are!

[@zacharywalsh6481]

i wouldnt call it atonal even if its a bit much for this particular composition

[@andysparks1973]

Jaco never left a verse alone , different even than this player

[@joebeeber8693]

Now these cats can play !!!

[@eastonpeter1242]

Double bassist's name? Kersttetor????

[@Yetipfote]

3:20 why ALWAYS this lick. ALWAYS!!! Totally out of context. Doesn't fit one bit. Every solo. Richard is an awesome bassist tho but his solos are tasteless to me. No comparison to the GOAT Jaco.

[@normanhirschfeld3823]

I agree 100 percent. Well said!

[@照屋紀一郎-u9f]

ピーターアースキンあたりが誘ってベースソロ中心のアルバム出さないかなぁ

[@richard.5268]

Bona's solo is not too much, it basically has nothing to do with the piece

[@martybergel8258]

Yeah, Bona's got talent up the wazoo but it sounds like he is just cramming as much as he can in there.

[@francescolecce1262]

che sound

[@steveniddon6133]

Bona has nowhere near the soloing sentiment of Jaco. Most of it is just fast showboating that doesn't touch the soul at all, and is frankly inappropriate for the piece. He played the melody and bassline nicely at least.

[@normanhirschfeld3823]

I agree 100 percent. Well said!

[@BobWilliam]

Lovely arrangement, one of the best Jaco compositions! Great musicians, and Richard Bona is really a master... BUT... well... this time he was REALLY TERRIBLE in his improvised solo... a bunch of random fast notes, not a single melody... seems like he's soloing over a completely different tune! No... this piece is pure melody... you must stick with a melody soloing, not a bebop-hero-like solo... sorry.

[@avmusicacademy353]

Totally agree. I did not understand Bona's solo at all.

[@martybergel8258]

@jim hutchison His technique is remarkable and he should be famous but, geez, slow it down and put some tenderness into it. That's what I get from the original composition.

[@martybergel8258]

That's how I feel about Coltrane as well. Brilliant composer! And exquisite technique but I get fatigued listening to him endlessly rattling away.

[@jeanlucchapelon]

Beautiful arrangement But i prefer Peter Erskine on drums !!

[@jamessteen6667]

I dont kno who this was but i agree!!!!!!!

[@jamessteen6667]

Poor camera shit. .

[@lastcat]

Very talented musicians. Bona is one of the best Bass Player. But, they totally chopped the crap out of the original. Too much noodling around, terrible.

[@zorro4993]

Bof !
