[granespiral]

si Horacio Hernandez

[granespiral]

i love this video, but the kick on guitar at the begining is one of the best reef i have heard, i just would have liked him to play this reef when the whole band star for little bit more... otherwise... beautifull song... kazumi, richard and the drummer i don´r remenber the name now... i love all of you

[ibrahack]

@granespiral The drummer is Horacio "El negro" Hernandez.

[Frank5133]

Read a Japanese music column whilst in Japan;off memory Kazumi has ranked number one jazz guitarist in Japan for 23 years in a row.

[zergjo1991]

ou iea beibi, ai laik dat!

[trollgoal]

it was a great jam, till the guitar player started soloing...

[herrdruhl]

main riff sounds like Jeff Beck.

[summersbr1]

Kazumi Watanabe's album "Mobo 1" was awesome............I've had it seen 1983

[stang869]

Yeah awesome jam! Richard Bona is so coool, just blew me away.

[moneymakerisawonderf]

[liquidus2172]

[xXxSuicideriderxXx]

it sounds like sex^^i loooooooooove it baby

[MsAhmadr]

what a genius this guy called Kazumi Watanabe......respects man, do you come sometime touring FRANCE?

[IVAmenhotep]

I can't believe there are so many empty seats in that place... it should be packed in there!

[croconna]

@IVAmenhotep It's a bad idea to give any open-air concert in daylight, in mid-summer in Tokyo, with the audience seated on the pitch of an unroofed stadium. The performance itself was outstanding, though.

[THRAPYST]

I wonder what pedal does Richard use on his gigs? I have a Fodera jus like his and I know a lot of that is in his hands but, he's use something along with his rig.

[gusthebroken2]

Jazz at a a level that excites and intrigues , just as soon as you think you got the rhythm, a new one is presented , dynamic all the way ! : ))

[ambouousoks]

Mr. Dick Bona

[adewolf]

Excellent!

[tomichkatakepon]

Cool　d(+･`ω･+) Yeah!.:ﾟ+

[maurogilo]

en especial para mi amigo Quito .... creo que esta vez no van a faltar bajos

[kananase]

Horacio is da man!

[abe54428]

RICHARD BONA AND "EL NEGRO" AWASOME TOGETHER!!!! KAZUMI SUCKS!!! GREG HOWE AND FRANK GAMBALE WOULD CHEW HIM OUT AND SPIT M OUT!!!

[AnthonyMusngi]

@abe54428 Just enjoy the music! stop making it into a competition!

[sergioz07]

omg negro what a groove awesome

[Tugend8]

Lovely and wonderful performance. Great musicians at all. My respect . Peace on Earth.

[fogliolinasullacqua]

Wonderful when they laugh at 3:38 ^_^

[v2vroth]

Now this is what I call a textbook in the pocket grooooove!

[elernest]

"el negro" on drums

[0126578]

I don't think I can think of a better trio than this one. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!

[manubder]

fucking amazing

[JayM0001]

Three great musicians and you gotta love a drummer who is so damn good, that you find yourself paying as much attention to him as the bassist and guitarist.

[irocknj]

That was just BAD ASS!

[HiginioTV]

incredible trio!!!! sounds as a sextet and Kazumi is outstanding as Horacio Hernandez. Bona was always one of the best bassists i've ever heard, always smiling, and playing like a lesser god notes from heaven

[sanblem]

Richard Bona è veramente un musicista completo,in qualsiasi contesto è sempre al top!

[almost30boohoo]

the best part of this, is the entire audience chill-outed in lounge chairs!! and 3 class instrumentalists just fooling around with a smile!

[DRUMKIND]

@almost30boohoo THOUGHT SAME FIRS TIME I SAW

[NZDaywalker]

what kind of bass guitar does he have?

[piwinter]

Richard plays a Fodera Imperial Elite 5 bass (Fodera is located in NYC)

[JustusFriedolin]

Fodera "Richard Bona" Model 5 string Imperial Elite

value bout 9000 $

[zanzarinna]

il chitarrista ha dei suoni eccellenti, imita perfino la locusta dartagnan

[ilbolla]

richard bona è un figo

[zanzarinna]

molto bello non pensavo che un uomo potesse arrivare a tanto

[monsterbazz]

this is simply AWESOME! Kazumi is such a great guitar player and richard bona is one of the most charismatic bass players bassin' the stages! truly awesome!!!!

[IndigoZ0]

this music comes in 3 diferents colors & flavors hehehe

nothing like a latin american playing drums or percussion and a black man playing bass, awesome!!!

the universal language!!

[JayM0001]

Where else but in music would you find three guys of such different cultures (Japan, Cameroon & Cuba) come together to create something so great. Its almost as if they are of one brain, flowing in three different directions at once.

Just excellent!

[Bjorlin1]

if this would have gone a little faster it would have been awesome like mike stern style and i would have digged it.

[Dooleus]

I don't think the Hernandez could have thrown in so much of that killer swing if it were much faster

[AkiThaMan]

''it's interesting to see that great bassmasters like bona can also get loose for a few seconds ;)''

And i thought it's obvious that making misstakes is part of jamming lol

[rockonjosh]

ha this proves jazz musicians can do anything not just jazz.

[DRUMKIND]

AT 2:38? SHUT UP.. PLEASE¡¡¡¡¡

[Bix12]

Brad Pitt?! Ha! If you want a proper introduction to the Kaz Master, go back about 20+ years ago for the MOBO series albums...MOBO I, MOBO II, MOBO Splash, etc., etc--the very 1st tune on the very 1st Kazumi album (MOBO I) is "Walk, Don't Run" by the Ventures--with Sly & Robbie as his rhythm section--It RULES!

[Thatguy301]

I though Watanabe was Brad Pitt for a second there, lol. anyway, this is mad funky. I gotta check out more of Kazumi

[pzwumk20]

2:36 till 2:38 richard bona sleeps a little bit an hits the wrong note!! it's interesting to see that great bassmasters like bona can also get loose for a few seconds ;)

[pzwumk20]

exactly at 2:38

[bartok75]

i couldnt hear anything wrong in there

[Thatguy301]

he did it on purpose! To make us think that he's human when he's clearly not :p

[juanbarros88]

I know it has been 5 months, but man, this made me laugh I dont know why. short and stupid but funny

[pepetteamamy]

just want to explain to everyone that, when it's well paid, even bona and el negro can play "no good music"...

i mean , this is a beat too naive (listen to the guitar player) for them, but they accept with a nice smile to be the part of the show, maybe for the money...

[ellocogris]

I think they're smiling becouse they're rocking... maybe they didnt rock like that since they where teenagers. I think its great

[thecool9]

lol, you're a big dick!! reeetard...

[kundalini76]

@pepetteamamy-No offense but my god you may just be the most cynical human being on the planet if you think RB & HH are somehow faking those emotions! They're having a ball! How in hell is this 'a beat too naive(sic) for them'?? Watanabe is killin' on this

[lorenzini]

WOW I've never heard El Negro play a straight backbeat. Loving it

[skok65]

That is some incredible bass playing. I second Omtomramoa: The Mobo albums shred. . .

[Paolennon]

El negro la hace facilita. Negro TE AMO

[Omtomramoa]

If you've never heard them, then check out Kazumis Mobo-records i.e. Mobo I, Mobo II, Mobo Club and Mobo Splash - pure fusion heaven. Kazumi is so damn cool!! so is Bona, who also sings brilliantly

[ricaard]

Wow, thousands of people in folded chairs. Surreal...but cool.

[jazzdsam]

richard bona is the best

[coolweasel]

WTF, is that Kazumi Watanabe's pedal board or are those remote switches? I wonder.

[IsraelGypsyDrummer]

Ole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Como tres tios estan pasaos. Que gusto!!!!

Horacio eres un bicharraco del agua.

Dios os bendiga!!;)

[richardilet]

who's the drummer ? I think he is quite funny with his drum tuned as a metal one :)

[vitoco67]

next time open "more info" for details.

He is Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez

[richardilet]

thank you for the tip, I didn't know that !

:0)

[diogoarrebola]

O som do kw é muito sujo!!!

Em compensação o horacio e o richard quebram tudo!!!

[alphonsog07]

good!!

[tshibuta]

but too bad, this song doesn't fully extract Bona's technique

[THAIBOPPER]

they definitely did't play one song in a concert.

[Paolennon]

Negro te AMO CARAJO eres un Dios. Saludos desde Peru

[satriani28]

if you want to hear good music just listen to kazumi watanabe the great...

[DMCpro6944]

Amazing great players, bona is an excellent bassplayer, very great skills, and talented!!

[audioexotica]

bona se toca todo..pero siempre mete la misma frase.

[xdux]

bona = badass....

[wdoney]

it's like the music on Driver Parelell lines

[jorgengg61]

el baterista es el horacio "negro" hernandez

[leitongo1313]

montruos = idolos XD

para q no piensen mal

lsaludos :D

[leitongo1313]

bona y watanabe! monstruos!

sobre toodo bona

[1950jimbei]

A very intriguing conversation between innovative musicians! Seriously artistic!!!

[MaFFej]

It's "Kazumi Watanabe New Electric Trio" and it's my favorite Kazumi's project - very energetic fusion!

[jilg74]

very good , but i prefer watanabe with bruford and jeff berlin

[ibanezbasSR400]

Great Players! Great Jam! Awesome!
