Benny Green Trio - Taking a chance on love

[spadge1able]

cool & rather obscure theme but still very good.

[caseydoddmusic]

Looks more like he's taking a chance on that moustache to me...

[ManOfRhythm]

Great stuff, man!

[nilambe08]

Great stuff! Great swing! A la "Testifying" album. Wish he'd release more albums... Please what concert is this from? There's another great piece with the harp in the same concert with the same set.

Benny Green was supa bad.

Good old times when German TV broadcasted jazz even "live" sometimes, and on the spot. -- It has almost vanished from the main channels these days.

Thanks for posting this splendid video!

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht Hi there friend. Completely to the point Bruno, I'm glad to have the opportunity to remain such a bit by uploading these files, highly appreciated if I look at the scores overall. It's not all that worse, a lot of new-jazz (old styled sometimes) has become quite popular for some time already....

[ciaoitalia84]

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht I thought it happened only in Italy!

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

@ciaoitalia84 -- No, buddy, the neglect of jazz as a live act on TV is unfortunately happening worldwide, or rather: Jazz isn't happening on TV anymore.

one of my all time favorite videos...if there were more like this i'd pay to watch em!

[rtel123]

One of his finest performances. A shining display of Benny's dazzling technical skills combined with innovative and unique interpretation.

Sweet stuff from Christian McBride. Great drumming too from Billy.

[834federal]

sweet memories of hearing the trio in philly back in the day (with Carl Allen on drums) thanks!

[ask3625]

I am a student of Billy Drummond, and this is an incredible video. Thanks so much for posting.

[utubeissad]

My goodness, look how young McBride is. He must have been a teenager. That's Billy Drummond on drums.

[remilburne7]

I can tell you that is Christian Mcbride on Bass.

[Geepereet]

Splendid!

[ViewtifulMan16]

The song is called, 'Taking a Chance On Love'.

[Geepereet]
