Tommy Emmanuel and Friends - Playing Whispering

Tommy plays jazz with Frank Vignola, Vinny Raniolo, Bucky Pizzarelli 2-12-2012 at the sold out Crest Theater in Sacramento, CA. The song is "Whispering", 1920 by Paul Whiteman. Great sound from multiple legends, including Bucky Pizzarelli, who is 86 years old and plays 200 nights per year. Please leave comments and subscribe to my channel!
Please let the video play for a few seconds, this was an encore number, the "concert police" were everywhere, so this video was a tough one to get on camera and a little rough in the beginning, but gets better!

Tommy is always so respectful of other players and seems to me he truly honors the older players he plays with and or learned from.

[@chrislorensen3025]

I totally agree. He embodies Chet's ambition, "to be kind to everyone". And he also tones down his amazing talent, so as to not overshadow others. A true gentleman.

[@rosarionicolaci3616]

Very true ! It’s a joy to see ❤️

[@thealeons3179]

Not just older players. He's got a video where he calls Billy Strings up on stage and they do a super Jam.

[@chrisround941]

I sit here in awe at not only the wisdom, experience, creativity but the sheer talent on display, I wished that I had been there. Music like this puts a lump in throat , and tears in my eyes. Sheer bloody excellence. Thanks fellas.

[@demef758]

Infinite respect for Tommy who never fails to acknowledge those who proceeded him and made his career possible.

[@shanemannruff5166]

When you can play and have Tommy Emmanuel, Vinny Raniolo and Frank Vignola all admiring your playing.....you are a legend!

Bucky Pizzarelli - John's Dad I awoke today to a dozen tiny birds in my backyard. It snowed overnight and I'd spread some birdseed on the green grass yesterday. The 12 quickly became 20, then 30 . . . now more. I said to my wife: "Someone we love must have died." It's a coincidence that this only happens -- a dramatic number of birds instead of only one or two -- at the death of someone dear to us. My best friend's Mom, our parish priest. "Let me just check online." Last night I'd shared a note with Australia's greatest living guitarist Tommy Emmanuel. And first thing there this day: "Rest in Peace Bucky Pizzarelli. Thank you for all the music, your service in the War, your friendship and encouragement, and your divine love of playing the Guitar! Have fun with Django and Les! love Tommy x" ----- Back in 2012 when he was "only 86" and still doing up to 200 dates a year (he'd just played on Paul McCartney's album of standards and should-have-been standards -- "Kisses on the Bottom") Bucky Pizzarelli performed with his good friend Tommy Emmanuel. (If you have to ask, you don't play guitar!) Video shared this day. Love Tommy kissing his ring. Yes, I saw the great man once -- a solo performance here in Winnipeg Canada two dozen years ago. He brought down the house -- standing ovation. Watching this I remember why. Thanks for sharing, 57JackCaptain. Celebrated this day at Sinatra Family - Forum - "Siriusly Sinatra" - MY FAVORITE VERSION, YOURS TOO? sinatrafamily.com/forum/showthread.php/50225-My-Favorite-Version-%28yours-too-%29/page52

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

Bucky Pizzarelli left us on April 1, 2020 at the age of 94, 100 years after the release of this very song, Whispering. His daughter, Mary, reported that Pizzarrelli had tested positive for the coronavirus. He will be greatly missed.

[@epipick]

So sad. Thank goodness we still have his music.

[@janeweedon6335]

Just about sums up 2020. What a disastrous year. RIP Bucky.

[@АлександрКуницын-ц6я]

Un gran músico, toda una vida fecunda, dejó un gran legado y un espacio difícil de llenar.

[@drdonvulcan8353]

Just a honor to be witness to such heroes of jazz and fingerstyle.

[@katsounds1]

Amazing when the great gather for something like this ,had only listened to Benny Goodman version, what a treat

[@SteveHilliarphotography]

I am absolutely blessed to have seen a number of these great guitarists live on stage. Just amazing

[@demeneye]

mmmm, that was really great......all great players playing with such passion and playing such a awesome track

[@susanroycroft89]

Wow 86 years old!!! Man an this is why, playing guitar with the best 😮

[@organguy1]

As a musician...I love these guys, and they love what they're doing!

[@bwalla50]

Guitar players make the world a better place.

[@geetarnut]

Best comment I've ever heard!!!! Seriously!!!!

[@baileysbootstraps8170]

I play Thank you ;)

[@daf827]

Years ago, I was blessed to hear the entire Pizzarelli family - Bucky, John, Martin, and Jessica Molaskey - play a benefit at PS 9 in NYC. John and Jessica’s kids attended the school, as did the daughter of a family friend. It was truly a rare treat to see this gifted family perform. Unforgettable experience.

[@bixsingsthemusicoflife2047]

So much fun, and joie de vivre among these fine players. Four of the greatest on stage at one time, and no other instruments? A guitar orchestra! Love it.

[@5RustyBin]

the look on tommy's face - just living the dream

[@jimherbert5888]

How great to hear guitars played spectacularly! And these guys, especially Bucky Pizzarelli, are incredible musicians!

[@user-hg3kc4dj7u]

Goosebumps......😱,the moment all of them started playing..

[@kpete9219]

I appreciate the wonderful performance of some tremendous talent!

[@keary18]

it just doesn't get much better than this....

[@billbaker9623]

My face hurts from 4 minutes of non-stop smiling. Bucky should give hope to every guitar player that age means nothing when you have that kind of for the music.

[@jasontipton8430]

music always makes me smile wow these guys are good. smile just got wider and wider my face is sore now.

[@kenweedon1620]

I just love the happiness this portrays

[@papamilo2671]

So much respect. So much experience in this. Those chord changes...

[@pitujet68]

Amazad;that’s how I feel...it’s the first time in my life that I discovered this great and admirable musician and guitar player,and,as a freelanca gutar builder I am ,it represens to me such a big,big inspiration!!!

[@adventureswithgrandpa]

Notice how Tommy always allows the other guitarists to shine.

[@7884golfguru]

Every time I watch this it puts me in a good mood

[@sdfsdf23232dsfsdf]

Richie is a hit songwriter and incredibly passionate about singing. He doesn’t even see himself as a standout guitar player beside these guys and stated that publically but if you listened to the solos he made (dry county, stranger in this town, my guitar lies bleeding in my arms, and many more) you cannot but respect him. He’s achieved more than every single person in the comments will.

[@ep9421]

Tommy, an Australian legend

[@CatherineSTodd]

"Great sound from multiple legends, including Bucky Pizzarelli, who is 86 years old and plays 200 nights per year." WOW! Thanks for posting!

[@wolfburgman]

Never too old, this video is so refreshing, absolute class guys!

[@ribpaie]

Grand plaisir de voir ces artistes Merci Thanks for posting

[@sofiablakey6454]

Bucky Pizzarelli is immortal!!! So good to see him enjoying the song

[@paratruper]

Уфффф.... Выдохнул! Понял, что значит смотреть на одном дыхании )

[@leef6530]

We're so lucky to have these wonderful performers recorded for posterity. Just think of how many went before them where there is little if anything recorded.

[@MrGuido63]

Love Tommy ever so much ❤ Unique style of play 👋👋

[@gordonneu8157]

All guitar band sounds so natural and Tommy makes the show and that old guy.

[@billmacelroy7577]

My Lord do I love this, imagine if Django was there to. He probably is, looking down with that enigmatic smile.

[@heinzschenk42]

One of the most fun showing vidoes while some folks (ok... best of) just only playing guitar .. music as it best .. and I'll never get them again playing backround for me :-) I love it

[@6stringwood]

Bucky is proof you don't have to sit in a rocker when you reach 86 and think about your life...but you can sit play your jazz guitar and enjoy life. Outstanding ! ! ! !

[@adoreslaurel]

Lucky Tommy, got to play with the all time greats whilst they were still around, Chet, Les, Jerry , Bucky and the list goes on.

[@jacobi.7898]

he's also one of them XD

[@adoreslaurel]

Jacob Israel Amen to that.

[@magmusic7562]

You talk as if Tommy isn’t one of the greats. His name fits in the sentence with all of the guys you mentioned. CGP. Period.

[@vancewood1166]

You can only account for yourself. Hate is two way street.

The best of the best right here. Woweeeeee.......Pamela

[@1302mb]

Holy Crap what an extraordinary evening that must have been! Unfortunately for those of us that do not live on either coast, this kind of event almost never happens for us. Bucky really held his own with these much younger guys. Bucky's sons, John and Martin are also major players in their own right.

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

Twas indeed fabulous to hear this great talent... I only wish I could have captured more, but there were audience police about trying to prevent us video guys getting the show. Tommy is as always on top of his game, I've seen him probably 8 or so times now. Glad you enjoyed the video! Appears you're not alone!

[@1302mb]

Very many of my favorite musical performances have been given to us from fingerpickers, covering diverse genres, Folk, Country, Blues, Rock, Classical, Neo-Classical, and World music. That extraordinary talent to play Bass, Rhythm, and lead all in the same hands, I find to be totally enthralling.

[@michaelchapman4955]

'Bucky & Frank's album "Passionate Guitars" with many of the Great Brazilian Standards is a Fabulous album

[@hanna591000]

OMG !!! Super this is it the music !!!!!!

Everything will gone but music will stay.

[@sundar5537]

Did you notice how many strings on Bucky's guitar? Eight? Jeez! Amazing!

[@RuediKehl]

Seven! .. with additional deep A-string for bass.
