Love Grace Kelly's attitude towards a jam session. Open mindness is the key.

[@orjanlof8063]

Bassist of Christ ö

[@ChrisSmithBass]

She’s a gentle soul but an absolute beast of a player. Love it.

[@wenting2457]

Looks like Grace has committed her fair share of Bird's licks to memory. Very fitting, loving it.

[@sammyp1971]

Nathaniel Rudman I'd say so .... I loved those bird licks .... all from Nows the Time I think.

[@kyleimlah2217]

not quite sure why people aren't giving Kevin Hanson credit... that was awesome!

[@nevikyesnik7525]

I've been impressed with his playing on this channel.

[@geetarnut]

THAT WASHBURN J-6 FAT BODY JAZZ GUITAR CAN BE A CHALLENGE TO PLAY WITH EASE! THE DEEP AND WIDE BODY TEND TO SORT OF GET IN THE WAY WHEN YOU'RE REVVING IT UP ON THE STRINGS! LOL!!! HE'S A FIRST CLASS JAZZER~!~

[@alcofribasnasier5089]

Yes, and I went to his own channel as soon as I heard him !

[@anthonyshaw8698]

I'm a guitarist myself, and I think Kevin Hanson was awesome. Love his guitar sound/tone/quality. Really nice. Exceptionally Crystal clear👍👍

[@waynemiller6070]

My smile got even bigger during the first part of the keyboard solo. 😁

[@richardpaddington4216]

That went really well. Credit to all performances, a sensitive drummer a rare breed. Thanks

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

yeah. dynamics just right. He somehow heard that riff coming at 3:40? That was quick ears. Solo was brilliant.

[@thedeepculturepodcast7172]

I love Grace's reaction to Matt's lick at 5:15 - loved Matt's solo such variety and so many surprises yet everything so smooth yet catchy. Really nice - and loved the melodica right hand with piano left hand!

[@RedeyePerc]

"Chico Huff is undoubtedly the greatest jazz name ever.

[@olymoon2008]

What Grace Kelly says about a good jam session is spot on.

[@Larriex97]

Woow, what a Studio Jams' jam!! Spectacular musicians as always, all, from Grace Kelly's amazing playing, to the bassist's solo! 😮😮

[@paulgibby6932]

Matt King brings in the crazy element that Toots Thielemens would have (on harmonica). Loved it!

[@nevikyesnik7525]

Melodica, actually. Very nice touch.

[@brahmin13579]

Great musicianship from all. Grace Kelley was outstanding.

[@peuheise]

Hooooly, i was honestly so impressed with Grace Kelly's improv, every part of it was amazing!!

[@anthonyshaw8698]

Grace Kelly is killin it!! As well as the others. Fantastic musicians.👍🎩👍

[@morrisbailey1621]

kevin is an absolute monster.

[@sammyp1971]

Love those Bird quotes from Grace! Awesome players!

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

Oh, that's so nice! Thanks for making my day. Nothing like some old-school jazz played by some real jazz cats.

[@dr.festabe7413]

I love it. Gives me an undescribeable type of relaxation. Keep up the good music!

[@generalpatzer6893]

[@rapidroha9245]

Grace Kelly's solo was nice

[@sgringo]

I always believed this song was written by Thelonious Monk. I've been wrong about that for decades. 😁

[@davdev89]

yeah

[@TiagoLageira]

Cool!

[@schneidercorn2813]

love her improv but her tone sounds closed; the mic maybe...?

[@geetarnut]

PARTLY IT'S THE SAX,,, IT HAS A SLIGHTLY DEEP TONE, AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN HER MOUTHPIECE & REED. ALTO AND TENOR SAX'S HAVE BRIGHTER AND DARKER/WARMER TONALITY JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS,,, THE TENOR BEING LARGER.

What's the Washburn guitar anyone know ? I have the J3 it's kinda the same only the inlays are fancier on this one I like it ;)

[@webstercat]

My only request is someone leads, & everyone plays with dynamics. This is nice & relaxed & burns. Drummers has Great Touch. Well done!

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

3:42 oi how did that drummer pick up that sax riff so fast.....? Heard it coming somehow? Played with her before? transcribed her solos? oh.... it was a Bird solo.....

[@isaacwilks5898]

What is that lick at 4:25? The country sounding one

[@kyleimlah2217]

Transcribe :)

[@sammyp1971]

Isaac Wilks if you bend the 8th fret B string and fret the 8th high E then 6th high E (while holding the B string bend) you'll be in the ballpark. I'm not being Key specific to this tune though..... yup ... I do it all the time in rock n country bar playing lol. First time I've heard it in jazz blues

[@isaacwilks5898]

+Sam Patterson thanks!

[@jefft022]

Sort of a yodel quality that made a bop solo have a smidgen of country sound. Pretty cool...

[@paulgibby6932]

A bit of Nashville
