Ernestine is assuredly missed, by me in particular. I have seen and heard her around the world, LA, London, and New York she was sensational in every place. She really deserved that Grammy which she was nominated for, she was one of the Jazz greats actually. I love her eternally.

Superb post of legendary Ernestine Anderson so young and vibrant truly an all time great, thankfully Ray Brown got the great singer going again in the 70'sthen followed a string of classic Concord albums each being a masterpiece, seeing Ernestine a number of times 1995 on each time a thrilling experience, last Jazz Bakery appearance a seated Ernestine still had it going on & got her to autograph "Love Makes The Changes" a cherished possession...RIP great lady, you are greatly missed

I was three years old that time, so it's save to say was born too late but thank god, technology makes it possible to watch the past through a little window. Great Video, thanx for uploading!

JUst love this, love the trio and she was the greatest. Had the pleasure of seeing her at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. She sat and sang, was pretty old. But man she sang great. Got an album autographed. Thanx so much for posting this.

[@bbfan1952]

i was there also. i remember you brought some albums and was kind enuf to let others look at them

[@thelastladyofsong]

@@bbfan1952 Yes I did. Small world.

[@olgadol]

It's fantastic, magnetic! Great singer! I like her theme variation. I wanna listen and listen again!!!

[@josemarcioviezzimolfi3196]

Ernestine is a great jazz singer.

[@mikeos1]

great set. I saw her at Ronnie Scott's in the 60s. Lovely lady.

[@yossiy1108]

Great artists and great performance♪

[@vova47]

The drummer here is not Billy Higgins but a great English drummer Kenny Clare. Great concert, thank you for sharing!

[@rtel123]

I think you are right. Why are the credits so much in dispute? Someone has posted a fragment of this event on youtube, "I want a little boy" and has incorrectly named the pianist as Mike Renzi. And many viewers have pointed out the error, while the posting client keeps staunchly defending the credits he gave!

[@vova47]

Well, he was confused by the beard Monty had and he and Mike Renzi do look a bit alike from a far, though they certainly don't sound alike.

[@selinabakerjazz]

Just GREAT!. ...

[@therealjuantxo]

This video is priceless, thank you for the upload!!

[@2ndEndingVintage]

Really interesting vignette in time......thanks for posting !!!!!

[@carolehugon3883]

[@janedvinsson]

[@johnbrown9092]

Superb!

[@argoargonauta4349]

divina!!!!!!!

[@zy1lmb]

From Marcus miller to jaco and beyond Ray Brown is one of the masters of the groove, wonderful!

[@RanBlakePiano]

Why no solo space for Ray !a tough teacher. .i learned a lot

[@mikeos1]

It's Kenny Clare on drums.

[@ginguenga]

wowowowowowowowowow

[@carletonhoffman]

Billy Higgins, huh? i'm still looking for the i think trio version of Never Make Your Move Too Soon where she sings, including Monty Alexander's great solo.

[@TheBRUMANT1]

5 songs in this concert, the 3 mentioned above plus As Time Goes By and a lenghthy Send Me Me Someone To Love.

[@vova47]

No, there's 6 songs. One shouldn't overlook a beautiful ballad by Johnny Mandel "A Time For Love" 2:57

[@rtel123]

Love the Percy Mayfield piece, "send me somebody to love". This is a beautiful contrast to Ernestine's sweet performance of same on youtube with George Shearing.

[@soulfulvoices2341]

Thank you very much for sharing ! Where was this concert ? San Francisco ?

[@thejazzsingers]

Berlin Germany

[@soulfulvoices2341]

Thejazzsingers Jazz in Holland Thank you for answering. If you ever get to have the concerts she did in San Francisco, please share it too :) there was a group called « the Johnny land trio » (including Martha Wash) who did the opening acts for Ernestine. I would LOVE to listen to them !!!

[@JPM160658]

That’s not Billy Higgins on drums but Kenny Clare!

[@RanBlakePiano]

And you have. Way w ballads . Especially As Time Goes

[@rtel123]

I thought Billy Higgins was black. Other postings of parts of this same video on youtube name a different drummer.....and a different pianist! They can only agree that it is Ray Brown on bass. Could the drummer be Randy Jones or Kenny Clare?

[@sallen8516]

That's some "greesy" music. WHAT feelings from them. It don't mean a thing if...
