Does anyone have the Preacher? I have been looking for that one here and not found. One of his best is The Preacher. i hope someone post it here.

George Howard is feloniously overlooked in the annals of smooth jazz soprano saxophonists in favor of guys like Kenny G. and Dave Koz. Talk about favortism...

[playfoya]

I read that George Howard was overlooked by jazz critics because he focused more on " ... goove and overall sound instead of improvisation". This video says more than any critic. The playing in this video rivals the stuff John Coltrane and Charlie Parker is known for. After some more digging, I found a biography that stated it was Georges father that introduced him to cats like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Let''s face it. You can hear it in his playing.

[AltoSaxBoss]

Is it just me, or when anyone comments against critics, it always pop's up as spam?!?!?!?

lol

MOST EXCELLENT!! Thank you for posting this musician and this great song, it is my second favorite by Mr. Howard, the first being "Attitude Adjustment."

[port2344chester]

I saw George Howard on the cd101.9 jazz cruise just before he passed away... what a performance. Miss his style so much... he reminds me of grover but with a diff edge. He is missed dearly.

[dr3vgn2]

One of his best cuts.

[MusixMan81]

This is one of my all time favorites. I even sing the sax parts. I scat the whole song. CLASSIC!!

[SlimSomerset]

I saw Mr. Howard twice at a small dinner club, the Club Bene, here in New Jersey. It was a small club, so the sound just enfolded you. What a great musician! What a great loss to us all. It's wonderful to see these live performances posted. As great as the albums are, there's just SO much more when you see someone live. And in this case, since he's gone now, everyone can see him. God Bless, George.

[Segantini1899]

Like a Prophet

[jynupe]

Wow...this is AWESOME...I really wish that he would have included the vocals on this tune!...So sweet!

[cnhianda]

Munyungo Jackson is a beast

[sohahe77]

As funky & tight as this is, I just can't get past the guitarist's 'Don Johnson trainwreck' getup! Man the 1980's was a bizarre decade!

Rayford Griffin is the man (even he's rocking a rattail)!

[nastyx704]

Thanks.

[ouacc]

Yea I did someone had it posted and took it down.

[ouacc]

Does anyone have the George Howard live performance during a jazz festival. He performing Dancing In The Sun?

[nebaioth]

have u tried to pull up different festivals? ... north sea jazz festival, montreaux, etc.

[nebaioth]

Well said, trip

[nebaioth]

This is a great performance from all of the musicians. You can feel their energy in the music. No doubt, George is missed...especially in spring and summer, when the outdoor concerts are going on. This music is eternal.

[triplejaz]

thank you so much for posting these George Howard performances. . . .for those who know and love his music, and for those who can now discover his greatness.

[irmaluz]

Terrific performance from one of the best that ever lived - thanks!

[TommyRandolph]

Love this! What a great performance. He'll surely will be missed.

[jynupe]

George is one one the coolest ever...but I wish I could have heard those vocals...Heavenly!

[shydmples]

I was & still am George's #1 fan. He was & still is one of a kind... The ONLY artist I know of who gave you their address on their albums & told you to leave your phone number. He called me a month before I was married in 1996. I didn't believe it was him until he played his sax over the phone...I was begging him to come to my wedding...I sent him an invitation, but he didn't show up...lol...but it's cool. I still love him so much anyway. God bless him & his daughter, Jade.

[nebaioth]

This is a great performance from all of the musicians. You can feel the energy they gave to the music. No doubt, George is missed...especially is spring and summer when the outdoor concerts are going on.

[ElAye]

I'm with you totally on him being missed during the outdoor jazz season. I saw him at the Long Beach Jazz festival in August the year before he passed. He rocked the fest!!!

[yellowdiva21]

don't you wish you could turn back time? i could cause i wish I was there to see this concert

[yellowdiva21]

[ouacc]

Let me tell what type of brother George was, I met him when I was an amature comedian he asked me to send him a tape of my performance. viewed it and then took me on tour with him. I will never forget that a true brother helping an up and coming artist trying to get starting.... Miss you my brother.

[nebaioth]

What can I say; the music in heaven must have needed some sweet soprano!

[JazzyG4u]

I just received this CD in the mail today-My favorite song. I miss George. I listened to this all the way in July '87 driving back & forth between Seattle & San Diego. Man! Great memories. Pure, sweet, soulful jazz. RIP George.

[airjor1]

Were you in the military? I had his album, "nice place to be." It was very good.

[JazzyG4u]

I sure was. Marine Corps. In '87 I took a week to drive to San Diego & back to Seattle, and George Howard & Jonathan Butler kept me and my girl company the whole way-I did boot camp there in '83

[airjor1]

I was in the Navy 1980-86. I went to boot camp in San Diego, and to school there also. I was born and raised in Ventura and lived in Oxnard. Take care, airjor1

[airjor1]

He was truly a great Jazz artist. He died at the young age of 41.

[benedictbranca]
