[NickBFilms]

check out these guys

Josh Redman

[MIFFLISH]

Is it bad that i know and listen to over half the people he listed there?

thats what i get for being a jazz pianist i guess...

[ultimate0pwnage]

FIRST!

[ashowiscool]

Wow, you love your pianis

[TheFreakyNorwegian]

you got to buy a cd by seasick steve? :(

[mercracer24]

Hey Greg, love the collection. You really have some great stuff in there. Glad to see another jazz fan keeping the music alive. If I could make just one suggestion for you to listen to, it would have to be Brian Bromberg. All of his albums are great but the standout in my opinion would be "It's About Time: The Acoustic Project". It's a collab between him and a bunch of great artists including one of my fav trumpet players Freddie Hubbard. Anyway, his stuff is great and thought you should know

[atomikrobot300099]

how many?

[chimingito]

WTF JUST HAPPENED TO YOUTUBE COMENTS

[EmperorZod]

Don't break my heart and tell me you're not a Dr. John fan.

[jeffdustin]

I LOVE LOUIS ARMSTRONG. He is a magician with a trumpet.

[DanaKluczyk]

i LOVE monty python!!!! so funny!

[rockboytyler]

Oh, I also STRONGLY AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND Remy Shand's Album "The Way I Feel"

The WHOLE album from first to last track is magic!!!

[rockboytyler]

Greggers!! That was sooooo weird, I was thinking of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass....THE VERY SECOND BEFORE YOU SHOWED IT!!! I had ALL of their VINYLS when I was between the ages of 3 - 10.....I ADORE them and I quite frankly wouldn't be the singer I am today without music like that!!! Man, the memories!!!

That was so awesome!!!!

I love all your cd collection vids, I have a lot of what you do!!

=)

-Tye-

[LaneVid]

Surprised no Medeski, Marin & Wood, and also some Galactic ... great funk / jazz bands... Also a new broken up funk band from Lafayette, LA: The Asparagus Allstars is great! I should send you my CDs of these... along with the Beck disc I promised you!

[jeffdustin]

@LaneVid yay Beck

[LaneVid]

@jeffdustin woot woot!!! Love me some beck!

[jayfactory]

I don't have a big jazz collection but one of my favorite albums is Ahmad Jamal: Live at the Pershing,

[n30nsh4d0w]

ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER is actually from Switzerland

[n30nsh4d0w]

As soon as you mentioned Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass I immediately had "Mexican Shuffle" stuck in my head. Oddly enough, we played an arrangement for that in my Steel Drum group, and not Jazz. Still fun though

[GLaDOS123]

do you like Peter Bjorn and John? they're kinda weird

[metalvocalistwanted]

all the jazz players gotta play in denton, tx at some point. \\m// not an extremely eclectic taste in music, but good music none the less. but then again i love all music. nice glasses btw very appropriate for this video LMAO \\m//

[bburney06]

This was a really boring video.  I know you told me not to watch (I don't really care what music you like), but it showed up in my Subscriptions....and I MUST watch everything in my subscriptions. Don't ask me why. I don't really know...

[christinelovesyou124]

i love miles davis' shades of blue. easily my favorite of my jazz cd's.

[masgalaxy]

r u gonna do ur movie colection next

[KNUTKASE5000]

Cool i never expected someone like you to like jazz! a few suggestions

Garage a trois (fantastic jam jazz fussion group)

Herbie Hancock?

Rahsaan Roland Kirk

Any Dub? or any thing contemporary ... My favorite Post contemporary...ha silly name...seriously its a genre... The Weather Duo are a cool group that are in that genre

You need more Classical...its a necessity for any musical understanding

[buzz3760]

I love vince guaraldi, not just cuz peanuts brings a great feeling of nostalgia, but it's all just awesome. Thank you for introducing me to Errol Garner too! I'm always looking for Jazz penises as well, i mean pianists. :P

[jasonmit]

You may find it interesting that I have a lot of original recordings of the classics on 78rpm records. I specifically enjoy the swing era. I have a lot including four King Cold Trio, sixteen Bing Crosby including one with a duet with Al Jolson, a couple Mel Tormé, three Duke Ellington and one Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Fats Waller.

The sound of a clean 78 brings a whole new element to the music.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing. You gave me a list of a some stuff to check out!

[jasonmit]

I also have that Jimmy Cliff record on LP. And yes, he's epic Reggae and Ska. It's one of those few records w/ songs my Caribbean wife loved growing up. Along with Marley's stuff.

[jasonmit]

I've been waiting for ever for this video. Thanks!!!

First off, you don't have any Leadbelly!? That's like having a collection of rock and not having the Beatles! You should be able to pick up an album pretty cheap on amazon.

Also didn't hear any Al Jolson in there. Also if you like Jazz Fusion, you've got to pick up stuff like Chase (my favorite), Maynard Ferguson and Weather Report.

I can't believe you don't have Miles Davis' Birth of Cool album. Lot of great Davis Bebop.

[jasonmit]

If you love Count Basic, you've got to get the album "First Time" Duke Ellington and Count Basie playing together! It's one of my favorite albums of all time!

Oh, and if you like the old pop kind of stuff, check out Jo Stafford. And did you mention Frankie Laine?

Also good call on Herb Alpert, even thought I'm not sure I'll consider him jazz. I have almost all his albums on LP, including Whipped Cream & Other Delights. That one was hanging on my wall for a long time.

[PLFields1111]

All that "exotica" and no Yma Sumac? Oh Greg!

[PLFields1111]

I sat through all that and no Bleeding Gums Murphy?

[looneytoon76]

I found one of the songs being sung here on Youtube by someone with youtube name olivierflap so you can get a taste of what the lp is like. Here's a bit of trivia the song is being sung by Mr. Walt Kelly himself.

[looneytoon76]

If you like Vince Guaraldi (Peanuts' "Linus and Lucy") can I suggest "Songs Of The Pogo" by Walt Kelly ( creator of the 50's comic strip Pogo).Kind of rare but I saw Ebay had a few lp's for sale but aren't cheap.

[SmokingWickerman]

If I may I'd like to recommend B.B. King and Sony Boy Wilson for blues, also mabey King Crimson, they started out as jazz fusion/prog rock but now do jazz suites and experimental rock (Adrian Belew's with them!) also if you want something really bizarre try Swing Holic, they do video game Swing Jazz arrangements :S.

[LeeCDylan]

Great collection! I used to play Trumpet in a jazz band, I loved it. Time Out is one of my favorite albums ever!

[Zantaer]

Was that Kevin Spacey comment sarcastic? 'Cause Kevin Spacey is like totally one of my favorite actors.

[Tolusca]

i gave it up at 4:17... o/ i tryd...

[Vereis]

I'm sad that this is your last CD video, and I think it's so funny and cool you have a "weird" section of music, but Greg, WHAT'S WITH THE GLASSES?!? Sorry for yelling, I got overexcited.

[underwarewrench]

Oh, cool. I've got that Mendez record on vinyl.

[VAStudi0z]

do u have any music in spanish? or mexican music?

[VAStudi0z]

u r from texas :O:O:O???!!!!!

[Jawshooah]

Mmmm, Nat King Cole's After Midnight gives me the willies. The good kind of willies. The tingly ones.

[atombomm]

Alright now RECORDS!@!!!!

[yeah568]

You mention Codex and The Guild, and then I just zone out and stop listening and start going into shock mode.

[beatlebob101]

HEY WERE ARE YOUR GREG ANSWERS QUESTIONS!?!?!

[StevenRHaz]

you're like john arbuckle

[mediocrefilms2]

@StevenRHaz At least I'm not like Fatty Arbuckle.

[Heemoproductions]

@mediocrefilms2 Y U NO LIEK FATTIES?!

[b2ftube]

@mediocrefilms2

Atleast you're more succesful than John ;)

[cooldood42]

[bidybo]

[musicmaniac960]

Greg you smoke so much weed. i love it

[papajohnxiiv]

Anyone that has the Muppet Show on DVD is good in my book.

[skyzefawlun]

ESQUIVEL!

Not a Coltrane fan at all? Or does he reside in your boxed set section only?

[mediocrefilms2]

@skyzefawlun Yeah, Coltrane is a little too... um... challenging for me. I used to have some Coltrane but traded it in.

[BeatBay]

@mediocrefilms2 sinner!!!!

[Thriftshoplifters]

um, no DAVE PIETRO????

[mediocrefilms2]

@Thriftshoplifters Never heard of him!

[Thriftshoplifters]

[erikesemo223]

No Mozart - Requiem? lol j/k

[ForceRagePower]

DAVE BRUBECK!! LOVE HIM!

[redKELLYMHRCH]

i have a stranger taste in music, i like anything from "that one blues artist no ones ever heard of" to BEP and Gorillaz to The Beatles, I LOVE THE BEATLES!

[TheJasonNation]

Greg Benson!

You are my role model. Hot asian wife, one of the few awesomely fun adults,and the ability to grow thick beard.

[DevilIsMyBitch123]

Hey Greg, nice T-shirt

[GassyMaskz]

i think u mean warne marsh, not wayne marsh.

[mediocrefilms2]

@GassyMaskz Holy crap, you're right! I've been reading it wrong for about 20 years.  Selective dyslexia???

[Gerdrako20]

mmm I think you are pronounsing "pianist" wrong

[Gerdrako20]

I love Blues but I dont know why I hate Jazz, theys are kindda similar thou... most of people (that kind of people that only listens pop music) even confuses one for the other but I cant stand Jazz

[m15t3rk4y]

They should give you a radio show.

[Tigerandpebbles]

happiness always have to have penis in it XD

[wrxbungle]

hadn't heard of many of the albums but i enjoyed your enthusiasm!

[janok2]

"Django Fett... love Django Fett. I actually have a bunch of stuff by Django, These are some all Star Wars Sessions..."

[DobrePytanie]

Willie Dixon! John Lee Hooker! Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee! Muddy Waters! Hell yeah :D:D

[WakyM]

Hah! Greg in glasses... what fun...

[TheMarbleIndex3000]

FREEDY JOHNSTON!!!

[52vegeta52]

hey greg! have you ever heard of Bjork? Her music/video's are realy out there. my favorite of her's is wonderlust. If you have never heard of her, i would reccemend looking her up. I don't know what it is about her, maybe how out there she is, i'm not for sure, but you might like her.

[RonnieBrewerFan]

I'm unsubscribing because I didn't win the giveaway contest.

[aradosman]

i watched to the end to the classical, i dont listen to any of this, but its awesome to watch you

and im glad i learned something of you :D

[canada1113]

No James Booker! You've surely heard of him Greg.

[mediocrefilms2]

@canada1113 Nope, never have.

[gregaaron89]

No John Coltrane, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Hendrix? (the album Jimi Blues)

Also you need to get some Milt Jackson, Avishai Cohen, more Keith Jarrett (The Melody at Night, With You) and if you like some electronic Jazz check out Free The Robots.

[mediocrefilms2]

@gregaaron89 SRV & Jimi are in my rock collection. Coltrane is a little too... um... challenging for me. I used to have some Coltrane but traded it in.

[connmarsh22]

Louis Jordan is the shit

[mediocrefilms2]

@connmarsh22 Seriously. 

[wctje777]

LOL this is actually the 5th?? 4th?? video of those cd things I dont watch ;) To bad

[canada1113]

Now we want your Vinyl collection! :P

[laflippin]

c'mon buddy...respectable blues collections need the Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, BB was mentioned by someone else already. No Stevie Ray Vaughn? He also did a great album with Albert King. Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf backed by Butterfield Blues Band and Cream, respectively on Muddy Meets the Wolf (I think that's what it's called). 1st and 2nd Butterfield albums--must have. Siegal-Schwall...maybe get a "Best of.." for them...they were fun. Glad to see you have some Sonny and Brownie!!!

[MissWinged]

what camera are you using here? is it your flip camera? man, i need a new camera.

[iamspok]

Wait...Am I mistaken? No B.B. King? What the fuck, Greg? What...the...fuck...Greg?

[mediocrefilms2]

@iamspok You know what's weird? BB King has never been one of my favorites.

[Creativitymadness]

This has nothing to do with jazz but anyway,

did you have any albums of Nick Drake? If not check him out, I bet you will like him

[pallandes]

I didn't start the flame wars.

[jezzej1979]

need some mingus in there! weather report!

or were those in the primary collections?

[mediocrefilms2]

@jezzej1979 Yeah, I don't own either. Ya can't have everything, I guess!

[EXPLOSIVEEGG]

[djodrake]

Greg, i dont believe you picked these people randomly as i checked their channels, and they are all from the United States of America, coincidence or what?

[lordwouter7]

@djodrake its because their close?

[dazzelya]

@djodrake

I bet 80%+ of his viewers are from the states.

[mediocrefilms2]

@djodrake Probably 80-90% of my viewers are from the US & Canada. Want me to make my next giveaway only open to people outside the US & Canada?

[djodrake]

@mediocrefilms2 Never said you were supposed to send outside NA, only pointing it out.

[TheFreakyNorwegian]

wheres the seasick steve albumes ? :O

[mediocrefilms2]

@TheFreakyNorwegian At Seasick Steve's house?

[miiwiiplay]

It's cool how Greg throws the cover of the C.D albums into his vids. It must have taken a long time.

[mediocrefilms2]

@miiwiiplay Yeah, I would have done more but it does take a while...

[TheRobResponds]

Andreas Vollenweider is apparently a Swiss composer, his first name might sound Swedish, but Vollenweider does definitely not... sounds German.

[TheFreakyNorwegian]

He is swiss

[TheFreakyNorwegian]

HEY GREG :D :D :D I'M FROM NORWAY :D

[xXBr4ndonDXx]

This has nothing to do with the video...but...can I have a hug? I'm a 6'6'' almost-20 year old male. I think it'd be awesome...

[Some1Had2SayIt1]

COME TO CANADA :D

[iamnorwegian]

Also, love your collection! recognized quite a few, but most of them were completely new to me. I hope I get a stack of cds as impressive as yours some day.

Down with downloading music! At least most of the time! OK, some of the time!

[jake4343]

I like how you said you weren't going to go through your DVDs but then you kinda did :)

[iamnorwegian]

6:06

Hi Greg :D

[WackenOtto]

Old Men with a humor inspired by Monthy Python are doomed to be awesome on the internet.

[TeganLydia]

There's no way this is the end! You've been teasing us for months about box sets!

[fuzzymexican12]

I honestly didn't even realize you were apart of The Guild. I've watched you solely for your skits.

[Some1Had2SayIt1]

@fuzzymexican12 HE CREATED THE GUILD!!

[mediocrefilms2]

@fuzzymexican12 No no, I didn't create it. I directed the show in season 1, and my wife produces it.

[Mullinsakamullins]

Now i know where you got your humor from!!! Monty Python! Ofc!!!

[gswanson]

Greg there is nothing more I hate than music. If it's rhyming or if it's got instruments going I'm all like "NO WAY! DON'T PLAY THAT MUSIC STUFF AROUND ME!"

[texaschizophrenic]

Awesome collection and backstage story greg!

[legslat]

where you keep all the porn

[mediocrefilms2]

@legslat At your house.

[Mullinsakamullins]

Hi from Norway, love your videos And your taste for music. Unreal :O

[mediocrefilms2]

@Mullinsakamullins Thanks Norway!

[sandwichperson]

Kids in the Hall!

[skeebert]

GREG; Have you heard "Toots and the Maytals"?? If not check it out, Pressure Drop is one of his best albums.

[mediocrefilms2]

@skeebert Oh yeah! I've got some Toots!

[Razorbladez2112]

Does the "Legends of Accordion" feature Frank Yankovic?? Muppet Show and Monty Python are beyond awesome. I really loved the oddball and edgy guests, like Alice Cooper and such.

[diiler711]

Hello!

[Naturality]

Professor Longhair, but no Dr. John? What's going on there, Greg?

[mediocrefilms2]

@Naturality Well, I respect Dr. John, I just don't ever wanna listen to him.  I don't know why, he is very talented.

[Nosferatu1717]

wooo Monty python!

[LilJ367]

i watched the whole video cause i love you and you give me something to watch when i'm bored

[BreakingSocialNorms]

im not even into jazz and i watched this just because your videos make me smile :) also the fact about the guild was interesting i love that series ^^

[Achw3l]

6:06 Fuck yeah Norway

[SpitsBeaTz]

Do I get Bobby McFerrin's album for watching the entire video? Haha this is the first time I watched the entire video about your CD collection without skipping any parts; I love jazz and blues!

P.S. I want the Bobby McFerrin's album so badly but I can't find it anywhere in Singapore!!!! :( *winks at Greg*

[Bigpineapple]

Great collection - Chet Atkins to Jean Michel Jarre to Django Reinhardt!! Brilliant! You have such broad taste, it's unreal

[mediocrefilms2]

@Bigpineapple Thanks! Yeah I dig all kinds o' stuff.

[meb659]

I have "Songs for Swingin' Lovers" in my car. What a great way to drive from SF to LA twice a month. Ferranta and Teicher is actually pretty good stuff. They're pretty influential on a lot of musicians nowadays.

John Lee Hooker is what the blues is.

$300,000.00 worth of CDs. You could have bought a house!

[mediocrefilms2]

@meb659 Hahahaaa, no way I've spent nearly that much. I've bought 'em all cheap/used over the years -- since 1986!

[gmodwill]

Forget that comment before nvm

[gmodwill]

Frank Sinatra?

[jeep493]

I think it was before she died.

LOL

[Kinwish]

Not incredibly into jazz, but it's still good stuff. Also, Kids in the Hall are awesome.

[TheMutilation]

I love these videos!!! they were really a treat to watch ^__^ thank you Greg!

[tonyblue09]

no way codex was in ur room, lucky man

[kingofwoe]

Thanks for these, Greg. You may claim they are boring videos, but I love looking up artists you enjoy that I haven't heard of! You have good taste, sir. Thank you for enriching our lives with your videos. Happy holidays!

[mediocrefilms2]

@kingofwoe Hey thanks, I'm glad to have helped you find some fun music! :)
