Benny Golson - Along Came Betty part I

[shakabrahtastic]

mike ledonne cant believe that curtis fuller starts playin a 16th note run damn i nearly died laughin at the look on his face 4:55

[benflint]

Wow, Mike LeDonne killing it. Never heard of him.

[thelbronius]

If I could play one song for the rest of my life...this one might be it.

[DajaWaja]

que crackk golsonnnn

[Ikonoclasto]

What a composition, i am pretty sure there its some kind of hipnotic trance inducing poliphony in ther.

[rtahouri1]

Totally diggin that piano solo at the end!

[saxoman1]

Notice how this grooves from beat ONE! No BSing (taking a couple measures or until the B section to kinda start grooving, or never grooving at all). You feel it all through your body instantly and you almost wanna dance. THIS is what groove is. Take note...

[schimmelpenninq]

they should have tuned a little before playing,

especialy mister Buster Williams... hahaha!

[danyoldful]

Yeah!

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Beautiful tone... Benny !!

[CamerOneiric]

This is so smooooth. the take on Moanin' is excellent too. such a deep tune.

[YoungMP88]

Benny's sound is great

and the solo is great too of course

[TheGoldrock1]

I love the singing version with Blakey bang the drums

[nepalnt21]

that tone!

[pablogonzalez11]

Muy buenoooooooooo!!!!

[kenyar0]

GREAT performance by great musicians. I love this kind of jazz.

[groupieoftheyear]

god damn!!!! the tune is already great.....but damn do carl and buster swing!!! DAMN!!!!

[Jhd0358]

Curtis Fuller on Trombone

[hearya]

This is beautiful live slice of jazz heaven. Benny in the groove, and part 2 is amazing. The bass solo is all over the place, and the drummer stays with him like glue. Buster Williams and Carl Allen.

[barimando]

Sounds like knightyaccha loves Kenny G. Pussy.

[saxclar123]

hahahaha

[minor7b5b9]

nice posting. Golson wrote the tune of course....only wish the audio was better.

[knightyaccha]

i love benny but dude...get a half strength softer reed...:)

[polwit]

What's wrong with you?

[polwit]

Softer REED? KNIGHTYACCHA Benny sounds great as it is.

[Thouveninpascal]

Benny Golson is a giant. In Hawkins' tradition. A sort of fighting spirit with the instrument. "Knighttyaccha" is right, the reed may be softer.. But may we critisise a giant?

[saxclar123]

oh my god

incredible preformance, by every single one of them.

what a great song, talk about awesome vioce leadings...

anyone know when this was filmed?

[trydbeck]

In France, at the Jazz Festival of Vienne

[steelcitysong]

.....wOw! what a performance of this masterwork of contemporary jazz! A landmark, no doubt! What an inspiration! I feel blessed to have it in my ears! Like I was there, woah! Solos like cascading water of sound, in the pocket and out, love it! Thanx for sharing! I'm there, way there!

[chuckciao1]

Bravo!!! If Benny Golson had never touched a Sax, he would still be in the Jazz Hall of Fame for his outstanding compositions. What a treat to see Curtis Fuller also.

[sailorguyli]

Thanks a lot for posting, Years since Ive heard this. IT was a frequent selection on WKCR etc

[jaywalk1316]

Benny is in the top five of my favorite sax men,smooth ,powerful.and soulful FROM THE ONE AND ONLY SMOOTH OPERATOR

[NyJazzGuit]

Golson is such an inspired soloist!

[CAPAROGLU1]

süper video

[DeathFromAbove1985]

this is my favorite kinna jazz i think. slow and chill, ambient.

[Jepaco]

he's my neighbor....so cool

[littlewoda]

dude u live next to benny? were do u live?

[Jepaco]

dude sorry not posting that on youtube....and he moved like a week ago

[brianasax]

Benny Golson is absolutely wonderful. An amazing lyricist too. He wrote a very eloquent and moving tribute to Sonny Rollins, which we have the honor of presenting to Sonny next week, at Carnegie Hall. CAN'T WAIT!

[Owunthrizzel]

I also love this song. Really beautiful vibe too.

[bossanovaman]

This is probably my most favorite jazz song!

[qizhong]
