Al is great, we know that. But everything sounds great with Steve Gadd on drums.

[surrealillness]

3.20 just genius.

[starstream42]

You have got to hear this cut on his "Tenderness" CD. The whole CD is amazing, but this cut is tight. Just wish I could have been there; I would have been out of my seat partying!

[masato7423]

感動したー



[gideonmarinho]

This is Brazilian music, samba. Jorge Ben is the author. Was recorded, there

some years ago in the U.S. by Sergio Mendes, a great Brazilian musician

makes success in the U. S. to Brazilian music.

[darrellwinstonhill]

Al Jarreau continues to impress with his musical talent...

[talismn1]

The version that was recorded with Joe Sample is a lot better

[nh1291]

名曲!!いつも耳に浮かぶ。

[jamespatrickz]

O CARA É UMA FÉRA,GRANDE CANTOR,O MELHOR DO FUNK E JAZZ

[zezinha10]

nice Al Jarreau singing in Portuguese an improvise ;-)

[klnine]

sad we cant get a SM version on here without the Pees pissing on everything , well done AL

[krlsemac]

É maravilhoso ver a riqueza musical do Brasil ser tocada com tantas nuances e nossos gênios musicais serem honrados por outros gênios musicais.

[madeisha]

awesome song i love it !!!

[aigaleada]

There are 32 deaf people here.....too shame.....

[Burt472]

Incredible..........The Brazilian Original ( a classic) is already fantastic....... Jarreau's version is superb, esp. the one from the Live Album "Tenderness". His voice pitches in that particular version in the end are undescribable.Thank you Al.......

[MrJP75]

Every time I hear Al Jarreau scat, I think of Tommy Davidson's classic stand-up routine when he talked about Al Jarreau doing a McDonald's commercial!!!

Funny thing is: Jarreau did do a McDonald's commercial with Rachele Ferrell several years ago!!!

[allenbostonma]

outstanding ! blow black eyed peas

[cucaEpipoca]

cultural note: "black man" mentioned in the lyrics is not just an African man but an entity from Umbanda, African religion that's very strong in Brazil.

[Millarization]

A small precision: the voice IS an instrument!!! :)

[AnnePh33]

The best!

[PACIENCIAable]

ótimo sem comentários esse é um músico de ALMA.

[annye2020]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

[gustohin]

[tubeyouchegy]

very funny beatbox :)

[Kelysan2006]

maravilhoso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[Kelysan2006]

maravilhoso!!!!!

[GaelaMorgana]

@ Jarbon5 You're Quite Welcome :D

[eckenschneck]

Ein fröhliches Lied - gespielt von einer fröhlichen Kapelle!

[RonMoyers46]

Al is arguably the best Jazz vocalist of all time! It just doesn't get any better and my first question at any Jazz Concert is "is Al Jarreau going to be there?" Then I always wanted to know about Dianne Reeves, Wynton Marsalis, Michael Brecker, Miles Davis; etc. He's apparently a really nice guy and he obviously loves performing because he just sings his heart out and never EVER disappoints. We love you out here Al!

[jazzmm99]

The audience were shocked!! They were just watching and at awe! And then when Mr. Jarreau ended singing, they all applauded like wow!!! He is the very BEST!!!

[Sissiaraujo]

Ele é demais!!!!!!! amo muito!!!

[FartFilledBalloons]

1:25 to 1:50 reminds me of Jack Black in almost every movie he did

[arjuma24]

1:24-1:32 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Not just his voice, but the background instruments blended as well, it all sounds so beautifully human at its core! Its like the history of the world being expressed in 8 seconds. I was searching different versions of Mas Que Nada and stumbled upon this. Never heard of Al Jarreau before. Then watched Take Five. When he really turns it up, this guy is MAGIC.

[JohnyTheK]

@arjuma24 at that time, he is like Bobby McFerrin :)

[grantvr6]

@arjuma24 Beautifully said!

[cybershakey]

@arjuma24 I can't believe you've never heard of Al.......been listening to al since 1975,yes he is magic !

[torrjr]

Pra verdadeira musica brasileira como esta por exemplo não tem fronteiras que que ela não passa.

Só o Brasil para fazer musicas de otimas qualidade.

[Czerviper]

Can someone tell me where i can get the lyrics to this song. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is a genius! Is he improvising without a guitar? Mr Jerreau you have the music in you. Jah bless...One love

[Czerviper]

Can someone tell me where i can get the lyrics to this song. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is a genius! Is he improvising with a guitar? Mr Jerreau you have the music in you. Jah bless...One love

[KatzenImNebel]

OMG! The great Al Jarreau!

[july1656]

Hello!!!! This artist is absolutely an INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR!!!!!!! MR. JARREAU THEN AND NOW CONTINUES TO USE HIS GOD GIVEN TALENT OF SINGING, SCATTING AND SERENADING HIS AUDIENCES NO MATTER THE LANGUAGE, COUNTRY OR GENRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mecibuliga]

omg i love love love this!!!!

[XmangooseE]

Geil.... <--- ein Deutscher.

[marimbondored]

Mas que nada

sai da minha frente que eu quero passar

pois o samba está animado

o que eu quero é sambar

este samba que é misto de maracatu

é samba de preto velho

samba de pretu tu !

Jorge Ben Jor, forever! Great Al J ! Brasil !

[kaan24]

[lfellipe13]

[Tokyomewmew626]

[SailingOne0]

Super Cool! Al 's great, even in Portuguese! lol. Always nice to see and listen to this amazing artist!! Ty tomgadd

[zumantoazzorre]

[owzyafava]

Steve God! As for Al, Sublime as ever ! Thank you !!!!!

[rwzal]

amazing!

[guidomattina57]

Simply Perfect!

[weerpool14]

Premier jazz vocalist. He can use his voice like an instrument. Very talented

[kalduramare]

true.

[RFDlic]

Everybody knows this, since more than 30 years.

[musicshake]

the voice is an instrument.....and his voice is the best jazz voice along with Billie Holliday..in my opinion

[411adrianna]

@weerpool14 - yes I agree, he's the best jazz vocalist of all time.

[ultramegadudesupper]

yeaaahhh.......

[09SURETHING]

nice

[meknesout]

This is nice.

[starwriter23]

Awesome.

[hojimenez]

Una interpretación diferente pero muy buena!!

[56guto]

Você pode até preferir quem quiser, mas o arranjo e a intrepretação estão excelentes. Sem essa de comparar, trata-se de ver o novo. A música brasileira é a unica e verdadeira arte universal desse país...

[RobBrazil]

Nem é por ele ñ falar português, mas prefiro mil vezes o Jorge Ben Jor cantando essa música.

[celote]

nao sei pq os caras falam mal de brasileiros.. o cara nem consegue falar em português aí..

[olympoBR]

Poucos artistas no mundo possuem o swing de Al jareau....Jorge Ben deve estar

sonhando com uma performance desta !

[bobnrio]

Whaaaaaaaaatagroooooove!

[MrKapay]

excellent jazz vocals. what a talent.

[baggigeil]

Der King

Danke Al.

[blackpanda32]

its a human orchestra..

[schmidtl61]

Al THE KING!!!

[caioevil]

Nossaaaa... estragaram a musica!!! puta merda!!

[andradinaazevedo]

demais!!! al jarreau canta muito

[MrMixedmusic]

faz melhor que ele Zé mané!!!!

cade os videos de vc interpretando alguma musica?????

[caioevil]

hahaha calado "zé"!!

[zesilva2222]

Não é samba mas pode ser sim, pois a relação é estreita. A música tb cita "ete samba, que é misto de maracatu.."

[wahwahwatson]

I saw him two times. Last time he played this song, and after the concert i got autographs from him.

[cfinston]

I have been a Jarreau fan for 30 years. He is more amazing everytime I watch his videos. Encore Al Jarreau

[ivanreiss]

I am brazilian, I am a musican and can say: Al made WONDERFUL job with that Jorge Ben's stuff! :]

I'm so glad for listening to it!

[claudioamorimjnr]

ahahahah singing portuguese??

[SAHBfan]

Call it what you like, but...

The rhythm section isn't playing a bossa nova rhythm at all. It's nearer to a samba based thing, maybe...

[1231violin]

BOSA NOVA a mixture of African music and the FADO from Portugal....

[Elziification]

Hahahahahaha...eso no es cierto!

[1231violin]

lo que tu quieras, pero eso no es samba, es bosa nova,

[ivanreiss]

huh?!

[1231violin]

ups, sorry, I push the wrong key, sorry

!

[1231violin]

this is not SAMBA, MAS QUE NADA is considered in Brazil as a BOSA NOVA!!,

PLEASE, is not Samba is Bosa Nova....

okkk

and good job in his portuguese...

BOSA NOVA is an influence music from African ancestry and the FADO FROM PORTUGAL, AND that came the BOSA NOVA!!! GOT IT!!

[bahiaphoenix]

@1231violin Bossa Nova according to its INVENTOR João Gilberto is nothing more than samba played on the guitar... with every drum part being represented on one instrument, the 'violão'

[andreaskniep]

i was on this concert, i think it was in the middle of the 90`th. great concert in baden-baden, germany, steve gadd was incredible.....

[crrrro]

Le MEILLEUR! Il est le seul qui peut faire ça... incroyable!

[mozdickson]

how can a band cook so hot and the crowd be dead???? TRAGIC! vais Al tu es o mestre!

[fabri600]

how can a normal singer sing fater this?

[Tyrande]

lol wtf the audience is so not feeling it... move people move!

[Socmel000]

Favolosamente AL

[Cybercop93]

Música: Mas que nada!

Autor desta música: Jorge Ben Jor

Music: Mas que nada!

Author of this music: Jorge Ben Jor

[jazzweston1]

Great samba groove, I'm dancing in my seat listening to this. Steve Gadd is in the pocket. Nice interesting ending, too.

[groovie0470]

still love the cd version..al jarreau live in new york..better

[hungmanhtran]

no shit, Al Jarreau?

[reconexo]

This song is composition of Jorge BenJor,of Brazil.

[OrangeAni]

Magic!

[atozbali]

GOD!AMAZING AMAZING LEGAND!

[drumm1n09]

love the air guitar scat man solo

[richiefff]

is that an LM400 gadd is playing?

[thath09]

when i was listening to this, i thought, "i really don't like the music that much, but i love the groove." and then i remembered that gadd was the drummer. hahaha

[marcusfas]

great brazilian music! amazing!

[texecana]

what a boring audience

[cliff232]

GADD

[jarbon5]

I can't understand a word they're is saying, but I love this song so much. Al is the man!

[ivanreiss]

It's something like:

No way / Get out of my way, I wanna pass through / 'Cause the samba is so hot / And all I want is dance samba / this samba is a mix of 'maracatu' and it's universal / black old men's samba / samba of 'preto tutú' / no way / with a such a cool samba like that playing along / you don't want me to get up there when it's already over.

Not a very 'musical' translating, but Jorge Ben's lyrics are so hard to be cool in order languages but brazilian portuguese. :T

[jarbon5]

Thanks for the translation:)

[ivanreiss]

oh, you're welcome  :T

[bahiaphoenix]

@ivanreiss minha traduç˜åo seria:

(More than anything, get out of my way 'cause I want to get by, the samba is hot and what I want to do is samba"....and at the end, "With a samba as great as this, you won't want it to come to an end." voce interpreta como 'mas, que nada!' eu ja acho que o que ele quer mas que mais nada eh sambar! E eh o samba que voce não quer qeu chegue no final, nao ele que chegue no final do samba!

[ivanreiss]

@bahiaphoenix Fala, cara! entendi seu ponto de vista. Mas eut enho a nítida impressão de que ele diz "'você não vai querer que EU chegue no final".

E sobre a questão do mas/mais, realmente, pode ser isso mesmo, cara... já que nós falamos o 'mas' como se fosse /mais/ também, fiquei na dúvida! :}

abraço!!

[bahiaphoenix]

@ivanreiss

ihhh pode crer, 'Mas' não é 'mais' acho q vc ta certo nesse ponto... mas quanto ao "eu," creio que seja ele, o cantor, o sambista! Quando ele terminar, aí termina o samba! ;-)

[ivanreiss]

@bahiaphoenix Ah, entendi agora! O sambista chegar ao fim dele próprio. Eu entendi que ele não queria chegar atrasado lá no lugar onde está acontecendo o samba porque alguns versos antes ele diz: "Sai da minha frente que eu quero passar!" - Isso me deu a impressão que ele estava tentando chegar a algum lugar, no caso, no samba.

[GaelaMorgana]

@jarbon5 Sounds To Me Like He's Singin' In Portuguese :)

[jarbon5]

@GaelaMorgana Thanks for that tidbit:)

[davidsimsjr55]

This song takes me there...

[tamadrummer21]

ahhh yeeaah

[infineo1291411]

cool

[joelok48]

Comments below ...LOL. It's perfect!!!!

[enfimconsegui]

É isso aí Al Jarreau.....nós brasileiros aprovamos sua interpretação...Nota 1000. Parabéns. Adoramos.

[lusbyo]

maravilha! this is awesome. it is not suposed to be a brazilian interpretation of "mas que nada", pessoal. this is the great al jarreau, giving his superb interpretation of this classic, it is about his jazzy take on things, not "his portuguese". it is not the point. get over it, desencanal!:) valeu, al jarreau!!!!:)

[becha55]

words don't matter too much - it's the engery and the feelings that carry you here. in opera only singers understand what they are saying/singing but it still sounds great! so, just listen and relax....

[supatol]

doesn't care what they play, with al and steve on stage it just can't sound bad

[guidomattina]

What can I say? Marvelous...

[akkappul]

i'm sorry to have said it, but it really suxs,. I know it sounds good for u, but a portuguese speaking person can't understand 50% of what he is saying.. he is actually insulting our language, singing like if it was chinese in 1:45

[tw55]

this is scat u freak.. dont know if u heard about it, but is HAS to sound like chinese! ;-) this vid is soo great!!!

[divaRights]

interesting that the Brazilians commenting here don't agree with you...see Calopsito's comment below...
