He is one happy guy !

[@talentous718]

Went to school with Casey at LaGuardia HS in NYC. So happy to see him live out his dream.

[@gregoryholliday2197]

That Bassist IS NOT of THIS world he nailed thhat solo...exuding such sheer passion and inspiration OUT of his heart thru HIS finger and each one complimenting the others musicianship fusing it with the orchestra revealing divinely melodic mysteries!

[@ItsFinigan]

Casey Benjamin’s performance is simply phenomenal. I come back to this performance every couple of years when I need to feel that emotion

[@kleef1895]

Thank you for his name, just what I came back for!! His joy in that moment is infectious

[@ItsFinigan]

@@kleef1895 he killed it. joy to you

[@Coocoocachoo809]

Whats more, he is a great guy. Ran into him in the park in ATL before his performance with Robert at the annual jazz festival in Piedmont park. He appeared surprised that he was even recognized. What a talent who is vastly under appreciated!

[@amibeingdetained3417]

I’ve been listening to this performance for years, and the ending put a tear of joy to my eye this time around for some reason. Definitely in his bands top 5 (top 3 for me) performances ever. So well executed.

Thank you for this... This full set was on youtube about 5-6 years ago that no longer exists anywhere on the internet. This clip is on a dvd too but the full set wasnt released for some reason. I would give anything to go back in time and record it off youtube before the media company had it removed and locked away. Portrait of an angel with Metropole Orkest brought tears to my eyes it was beautiful

21 dislikes from those with faulty ears. Edit: It would seem, that... 'those with said 21 faulty ears have invoked their warranty rights and thus have had their hearing corrected!'.... is one way of explaining why all the dislikes have disappeared.
