The Untouchables 57: can you see your way to post "Blues on my Mind" Golson's most underated composition which no one seems to recognise. Thanks

[toadster58]

Love this! I only wish I could play a jazz tenor sax like Benny Golson--and write jazz like him, too. Thanks for putting this up TheUntouchable57. You're a good man. Listening to good jazz makes my day.

[hendrixisgod7771]

[GanonKirby89]

his music always gives me chilles. Benny Golson ftw!

[Begvnikuda]

Наконец-то Бенни приезжает в Москву, не думала, что такое все-таки случится!! С нетерпением жду его выступления 9 июля на фестивале "Царь-Джаз". Вроде как обещал раздавать автографы. Если что, я в начале очереди! :)

[amirhobson]

[faustolg]

Ok, who the hell dislike this marvelous music???

5 stars to the legends!!!

[masterjazzreggae]

Willie pickens (the great) on piano, taking it easy and letting the light shine on the composer of killer Joe-the legendary Bennie Goson

[masterjazzreggae]

that is the great Willie Pickens on piano-taking it easy and letting the light shine on the composer and legend Benny Golson.

[santis308]

i saw this guy on the terminal, but i didn't know if there was a real benny golson, or it was just a character. now i know

[babinm]

I wonder if Golson wrote this with a real "Joe" in mind. Joe Williams?

[Allanrpsx]

dude my middle school is playing this too!

[Michaelbos]

Who can't relax and enjoy this.

[nivrin13]

@Michaelbos

Ignorant Lady gaga listeners

[mddreiling]

wow im playing this in my jazz band in middle school this is going to be tricky

[thegnap]

@mddreiling it's actually one of those songs that is easy in theory but the emotion makes the song trust me i played this in front of my school i also did the solo.

[monkiman818]

he's good, but he is flat in this video..

[mlcinx02]

A classic...well done by this jazz legend! Thanks for posting.

[510Seankoh]

This is one of my favorites. hanks for the upload. Sometimes, this song makes me cry cos I keep on thinking about the great moments I had in America. But in Singapore, Malaysia and some other countries will call me a gay just because I love Jazz. But they did not know that Rap also consitsts of Jazz!

[ianidinuse]

@510Seankoh Dude. I'm a Singaporean. I listen to jazz too. People think it weird sometimes but they just get used to it. I'm proud I listen to jazz. And trust me, I'm way younger than you'd expect me to be.

[nicofrance123]

how i like when the pianist plays a bit of gershwin's rhapsody in blue

[Andycards]

Jazz is such cool music.

[JazzNaySean]

the begining was out of tune :/ but amazing solo he had :D

[sk992085]

I know this song by watching The Terminal :)

[maxpai22]

simplemente genial, el jazz es lo mejor =)

[ShioOkami512]

[BlueinGreen2]

I'm sorry but this swings just too damn hard.

[burnaway123]

[howardmoon13]

[miles53194]

loveit. perfect tempo to take it @ i like em jazzy and slow

[JazzWithoutANet]

Thanks for sharing this. This particular episode was great. Marcus Strickland played "Cherokee" and Chris Potter did an AMAZING rendition of Body & Soul. Even the close with Ramsey Lewis was hot.

Can someone PLEASE post the Potter & Strickland performances and the closing performance? Thanks again for sharing this!

[TheUntouchable57]

@JazzWithoutANet - You're welcome, and if I can find it, I'll be sure to post more - this was on a 'best of' CD, so there's really only so much here.

[ericwolff6]

Please post the rest of this episode! Strickland and Potter are my favorite sax players!!! I'm just gettin hip to golson.

Its funny cuz I don't think that many people know there's so much awesome music going on in Iowa.

Awesome quality by the way. What codec are you using?

[TheUntouchable57]

@ericwolff6 - believe me, I'd love to post the rest of this episode, I remember it was pretty good. As for codecs, my audio is a SigmaTel, and as for video, I'll have to check. Sorry for taking so long on the reply

[pamirs94]

@ericwolff6 can you explain what codec is?

[nightmusic812]

I really love this song!

[drumtheheck]

This song is so annoying to play on drums when the bridge is played in 6/8

[miles53194]

@drumtheheck nah man, ilove it its not hard

[sailorguyli]

one of my all time favs

[mrpcful]

And I don't know who the dude next to Potter is, but I think I also so Brian Blade in there digging it.

[TheUntouchable57]

You are correct about that being Chris Potter - also, I believe the guy next to Potter is Marcus Strickland.

[mrpcful]

I'm pretty sure that's Chris Potter over to the side checkin Benny out.

[blessedable]

soo soo soo !!! NICE !!

[fshadam]

[masonjuly4th]

[madcbara]

[SarahBear139]

Im playing 1st tenor in my school jazz band and i really like the piece.

[tehnoobb]

[siddy1138]

[siddy1138]
