Al Jarreau Live with Jerry Hey - Roof Garden

[garys1100]

Some one told me that Chuck was allowed to graduate from Maple Hts. High School (Ohio) ealry so he could paly w/ the Dorsey band. Must be true.

[pellejudas]

So Good and it´s 3% of the population who likes it. It´s a shame.

[winston469]

Cada vez que escucho a este virtuoso me provoca llorar de emoción para mi el mejor

[MrGuitarabuse]

I rest my case... holy crap!!! No one does music like this anymore

[hansumjoe]

gotta love the horn unison at 1:35-1:37

[pkurokawa]

Bob Findley on trumpet, not Chuck.

[dangerousdaveT]

Was that the Golden Girls boogie-ing at the end? 

[headedsomewhere]

[sonolaziapina]

Thanks for posting!! is that in 1983??

[2damnedfunny]

This was back in da day on a show called Fridays! I loved this show and I had a cassette recording of this. This is a great day to see this video! FANTASTIC!

[Socmel000]

l'audio è quello che è....dal vivo sempre strepitoso...Al carica esplosiva

[Mel0132]

Alex Acuna on drums. Lenny Castro on congas/percusion. Performing togther. Whhhoa. The first I've ever seen this. I love it.

[dergola]

Super cool jazz!!

[grizzletoast]

I seriously could watch this until I died, and it would be time well spent. Funky-ass funky funkity funk, not merely funky.

[nadrojazzz]

only thing missin is a spicy addition of good ole george duke f/rhodes cascades

[aihoschema]

Yeah, as far as I know it's a lick played in 32th notes (over a 16th triplet-feel swing beat) alternating Fm and Eb triads. Very hard to do cleanly on any keybord. I know how to play that slowly, but George Duke is one of the keyboard gods...

[kalcom2]

Thats a badass horn section

[gre68]

if this any nt coooool, i do not know if anything is

[RenaultSjong]

Yes,its Alex Acuna on drums

[69feast]

is that Alex Acuna on drums?

[hawaiieyes]

Yup! Jay Graydon - Guitar, Kimo Cornwell - Keyboard, Richard Page and Steve George - Vocal (Mr. Mister, Pages), Larry Williams - Alto (Seawind), Lenny Castro (Percussion). Anybody recognize anyone else?

[musteach]

Chuck Findley on trumpet with Jerry. Most likely Bill Reichenbach on trombone. Maybe Neil Stubenhaus on bass?

[bregues]

great memory ,dude,alex acuna on drums,saw all them in 1981 in frejus arena,france,what a sound!

[RenaultSjong]

Yes

[DarkHalo08]

This song takes me back to my childhood. I use to love seeing this video and hear Al sing. Al's the man and the drummer is very talented.

[joceeco]

Horns ruled back in the day. You rarely hear horns like these in todays music.

[kalkman1972]

Coke up his nose,24 carat FUNK outh his **ss,great song!!

[ThiaMegia]

thanks for sharing! great performance, awesome!!!

[Jockobass]

Woaw !!! Thanks for sharing the video. This song is so funky. After all these years, it still sounds so fresh and groovy. Excellent music.

[woodenfret]

I love that groove

[kokonutz32]

love your story, sylvia!!

[TheRealGimycko]

Back to the old days...

[MYSTIQUEOFINDY]

Al is simply awesome...love him!

[SylviaSaid]

Mystique:

Awesome, indeed. Gotta little story to tell you. One night I was walking, alone, in an unfamiliar area of Malibu. It had just begun to get dark, when I was approached by, yes, Al himself. At first I was frightened, but then, he started crooning in my ear, and I began to melt like chocolate. Then, just as quickly as he appeared, he was gone! I ain't been the same since.....

[MYSTIQUEOFINDY]

See that would totally mess me up. The closest I ever came to a star was the singer Babyface. I went to school with him and trust me he never acted like a good little baby then. LOL My tormentor..who'd ever thought he'd make the buckaroo's... Al's voice is so relaxing to me. I love his Mornin'...cute song...

[jazzybugler]

Thanks for this vid! This era of Jarreau with Jerry Hey horns arrangements and playing were very influential for me as a trumpeter!

[croon4u]

Good for you - nothing like discovering great musicians to 'teach' you how it's done. Happy blowing..(and horn arranging, if that's your thing)

[menapaiolin]

I am 7 years old and I love this song,and most of his songs

[sovereigne]

Awesome. Great. Wonderful. Speechless. Thank you. Great performance. Swinging and funky. :-)

[mouzicman]

One of the absolute best performers of all time!!! Can't get enough...

[DancingSpiderman]

Dude @ 402 looks just like Jeff Foxworthy... you just might be a rednek...

[mouzicman]

Absolutely FABULOUS!

[dixxjamm]

al j. is so funkeeeeeeee

[clbzone]

Does anyone wanna waltzin' in the garden? WHAT A JAM! Al is amazing. A true legend.

[rmo52]

It is Jay Graydon on guitar. When that "Jarreau" album hit in 1983, many of us wore it out listening to it! Al, the cats, the charts, the production, everything...WOW!

[Sharkim66]

Yup. Jay Graydon produced that album and two others - the best Al Jarreau Albums ever in my mind were produced by Jay Graydon!

[boulejazz]

Richard Page and Steve George on vocals. Ever heard of Pages?

[moumin]

ohhh yes they where the best backing voc ever on that period,and the best" unknow" group of the late 70's

[groovetronic]

IN THA POCKET ! Thanx Trumpetman2000 for sharing !

Incredible tight set .

Wow , what a band !

Sharp horns by Chuck & Seawind-brothers Jerry & Larry Williams .

Alex Acuna on drums .

And i believe producer Jay Graydon on guitar , among the other top-notch musicians .

[bcomproforma]

Of sure Al Jarreau concerts were absolutly the bests I ever assist.

[deolm]

[DancingSpiderman]

Potty... come let's potty y'all...

yes, Jerry Hey is kickin' trumpet ass!

Dayng, isn't Al Jarreau hot and sweaty, wearing that turtleneck sweater? Love Al Jarreau, he's a walking musical instrument!

[rdangelo]

Thanks for posting this. Those are the best at doing that kind of playing, along with Gary Grant and Larry Hall. Alan Rubin and Jim Hynes aren't bad either...
