Unbelievable player. Original. I'm basically a jazz-funk guy...but this is way cool. He is one bad ass musician. Or she? Who knows? Who cares? I've never heard this approach. And I've heard this Buckethead person play really inside as well, very tonal, beautiful. What range! Thanks for posting!

Exquisite.

Wonderful footage of Buddy. A fabulous bass player, a mentor to many, many musicians, and a beautiful person. Yeah, Buddy!

Thanks for posting this version. I love Stevie's, of course-the pre chorus (or interlude) is so harmonically hip.And it's his tune. But Brother Ray, Baby. This is dog-butt funky. Makes me ask the question, "Why hast the record industry forsaken us?" With all the absolute crap out there that the ...

81 DIS likes?? WTF? What's wrong with these people? One of the best tunes of the eighties.

E, W & F....the baddest of the bad.

Absolutely. Totally. On the fucking case. Bought me to tears an I HATE musical theater. This is beautiful. Now THAT'S an Irish tenor. Thanks for posting this.

Nobody sounds like these guys...Dennis Irwin, rest in peace. Vesace has the most interesting Hammond patches I've yet heard.

@Danro05 I don't know about "underrated"-everyone I know who's herad him play thinks he's one of the best alive. His emboucher is also a classic example of what works rather than what it's supposed to look like-he says to play where your "whistle" is. Obviously, he's correct!!! Man, what a sound.

Thanks for posting this...too bad people seem so fixated on Bowie's coke use. Fact is, he was roastin', And that band? That's a young David Sanborn back there on alto sax. It's too bad about the drug fixation-people seem to forget that some artist's best work happened during their period of addi...

@CrystalSkyWarrior Sorry, but It's "Spanish Eyes." Randy Sanke plays it at the end, and the pianist hints at it in the intro. Pretty much the same changes, though.

What writing, what great musicians.This is unbelievably tight!!

You sound wicked good, Wikan...I come to Youtube to get my "Wikan Fix"...but it's always better in person. Completely musical, as always.

Is this King Curtis playing guitar? I know that he was a proficient guitarist as well as being a monster saxophonist....I imagine it is him.

A great singer, great entertainer, and froim what I understand, a fair and good bandleader. A great friend and contemporary of Sam Cooke. Lou Rawls was also a capable comedian-his bit with Keenan Wayans where Lou plays the proctologist and Keenan gets an exam-all while Rawls is singing "You'll Ne...

Man oh man...that defines R&B tenor saxophone. Clifford Scott, Texas tenor man extraordinaire. Rest in peace, Mr. Scott. 1928-1993. Played in Hamp's band before joining Bill Doggett. Man, what a sound, what great ideas. This tune really shows how closely jazz and R&B are related-two sides of the ...

What a band....Rich Perry is a supernatural force, a shaiman, How anyone can be so badass and so sensitive at the same time. It makes my left ball ache. Perry is definitely one of my all time favorites.Anyone who says his "content has nothing to do with the topic" is desperately and hopelessly fu...

Man, that's roastin'. Yikes!!!

Classic stupid kid comment about Garibaldi...ah, well. Hey there, young fella-just so you're clear on this-Garibaldi INVENTED this groove back in about 1972 when they wrote this tune. I'll take what I'm hearing here over a twitchy, hyped-up drummer that gives good "face" any day. BTW, for those ...

You sound great-nice little composition, too. Tonight I heard Joe Lovano play a G mezzo soprano he had made (in Belgium, I believe). It was voice like a soprano. I think you are correct to call this an F alto-the voicing is alto all the way. Thanks for your post!

@tonyhq1992 I think Mr.Royster's ability comes from hard work, not skin color. Besides, music isn't a competition, it's art. Sports are competition. I love this guy's playing. In the words of the late, great Miles Davis when queried about hiring the white Lee Konitz, he replied, " I don't care if...

What a great talent. Geez. Absolutely smokin'.

@badbassjd Mike Clark on drums, Bennie Maupin on tenor. Bill Sommers, perc, Paul Jackson, Jr. on bass. This is the band that's on the "Thrust" album; on the better known "Head Hunters" album, it was Harvey Mason on drums, the rest of the personnel is the same. Herbie's whatever-you-wanna-call-it ...

Ray fu**in' Charles. The grand master of soul music. And the high priestess, Chaka Kahn. I'll bet the Bros. Johnson love this remake-it smokes from the beginning to the end of the tag where Mr. Charles says, "Commeah-lemme love yeh!" To answer the eternal question, "What is hip?", well, THIS is h...

@undertkr2001 Hang in there...I think living on must be tougher than going-it sure feels that way sometimes.
