Ray Brown Trio - Summertime

[Orod5694]

Compared to the Brad Mehldau trio, these guys add a whole lot of flavor in their music!

[jimpassa1]

Real black music? No, it's just plain real music without color. Is George Shearing or Bill Evans real white music?

[jaymeachum]

@ Xargxes Why does this have to be about black and white? Aren't you a HUMAN BEING? Who gives a care about your skin color??? These gentlemen are AMAZING musicians who deserve respect no matter WHAT their skin looks like. God created all people man. plus, does your comment denegrate Jeff Hamiliton b/c he's a white dude? come on. This is my favorite Jazz trio of ALL TIME!!!

[lebaotrung]

that's great

[pnojazz]

Man do I sure miss these two performing live.

Thank goodness this was recorded, for there's nothing like viewing Gene Harris and Ray Brown performing. I dug the low five at the end as if yeah to say: yeah man we got 'em agin!"

[bluesyfish]

@pnojazz:  It's like "Yup, NAILED it!"

[mscarolannstaples]

Along with me ReallywhiteChocolate Can't get enough I enjoy it so much..

[elfinarcher84]

Best song off a great album. I return to this piece over and over again!! bravo.....

[MrRounddrop]

Ray brown has a great voice.

[mojazz58]

And after this you must watch the same trio playing Night in Tunisia:

[LFCzeppelin8]

3:49 fuckin orgasmic

[jjjansenmeel]

Absolute best version of summertime ever!

[mscarolannstaples]

Love it love it love... Gene starts rocking out at 5:30... Mr. Brown can't keep the smile off his face... 

[cmingusrun]

[nww009]

If I ever get a chance, I want to cover Summertime this way. Go from this soulful as hell version of it right into a badass blues chug. AW HELL YEEEAAAHHH!!!!

[pastorius999]

[TheRoseYao]

@miix999 Sorry about that...

[jazzgirl232]

What music ! so thrilling -

[ZMGBass]

probably the best version of summertime i've ever heard. definitely a fine example of why singers aren't essential.

[0730553707]

OOHHHH!!! this is music

[freedomda]

これは、おもしろい。

[JazzFishGameCentre]

@freedomda 私が知っている !

[Mentieth360]

I love the bass in this, compliments it so well. Amazing music, it all just works together so well. Modern music makes me sad.

[BassAmbassada]

vid is a bit late if you listen carefully to the sound. but I still love this live... <3

[HCICONS]

ANYTIME YOU CAN GET RAY BROWN TO SMILE AND SWING WITH THE TUNE YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD

[MelodyExtremus]

5:24 ff

Who says you can't dance to this stuff. ;-)

[MelodyExtremus]

The way this crescendos higher and higher, and brings you with them emotionally! My God! What happened to Music! I could die happy listening to this!!!!

[JoseStev]

Simply Brilliant

[ReallyWhiteChocolate]

i bet ive contributed about 5% of the views on this video

[Xargxes]

Now this is real black music.... God 1:10 gives me chills each times. Awesome. 

[MelodyExtremus]

@Xargxes I have so many 1:10 's all through this masterpiece, I'm totally physically and emotionally drained, yet incredibly happy! This is GREAT musical Lovemaking. Whew!!! :-D

time for a cigarette. *puff*

[JazzFishGameCentre]

@Xargxes AMEN TO THAT BROTHER !!!!

[looonybinjim]

@Xargxes

Drummer looks pretty white to me.

[Xargxes]

@looonybinjim ...

[twisted21bassist]

@Xargxes You know the song was written by a white man right? Music has no race. It's inside of us all regardless of color. 

[pal0sn0]

i Never get sick of watching this !!! <3

[huvz]

WOW LOVE IT

[modo1957]

great pianist, but let's not get carried away....2 words: bill evans

[gammarotor]

This isn't just a song, this is an entire universe. 5,102 views?!! Well let's just keep this our little secret. Awesome, Thanks for posting.

[Butchill41]

This is the greatest piano player that has ever lived, in my opinion. I first saw him in Chicago when I was 14 nyears old in a local club that is long gone. I have seen him perform across the US and take pride at being able to applaud his gift. Thanks, Gene.

[mikki85]

thanks so much for posting this, the video from another user got deleted! probably the most amazing version of Summertime. Absolutely fantastic!

[elipticalorbit]

This trio was the best in jazz - they've left such a legacy...Gene's version here is so profound, it leaves me with tears...

[Infidel433]

Is this on DVD?

[wussu]

oh snap, didnt know this concert was taped, ive listen to the album like million times, thanks!

[thelma897]

You need to get more Gene Harris. Like Mistreated but not defeated Blues and Blues March. He is the best

[CaseOfJazz]

Oh yeah! That's GREAT!

[iseecheeses]
