Outstanding. I've been enjoying Charlie's music since I first discovered him in the '60's on the album with Stan Getz. Caught him live in Chapel Hill once. An amazing talent!!! Passed away in '99 at the young age of 74...so sad!
-
Its so nice to see (or hear) him playing Corcovado...
-
it may take an old man to really appreciate Charlie"s ancient hands here... i certainly do... no teacher like experience...
-
why don't YouTube have a love tab instead of just a like?
-
Kudos to Charlie!
-
Look at Tal he loves it.And why wouldn't he.Charlie was a Gem.

One jazz original guy.

Así se toca la guitarra papá!

I agree with the majority opinion, that this guy is a legend and I think it's a joy to listen to his beautiful interpretation, not the the perfection, and given the obvious condition of his body, I think he still played pretty darned well! As I always say, it's all about the music - that's where it's at.

Did you say that Charlie passed away shortly less than a year after this perfomance? I saw Charlie play twice in D.C. Great guitarist. This was around the late1960's. I know his Bio says he died at age 74.

@Ronan2
This is not my intention to argue if CB is playing perfect or not, the intention of uploading this clip is that (CB) even at this age , with poor health and unlimited counting of playing same tune over 30+ yrs, still his musical idea / interpretation is always refreshing and grounding breaking, way ahead yrs to come, so that viewers can enjoy it and hopefully, gain something from his playing.
Myself watch this chip over 1000 times, every time still a totally blown out
