God......this makes me happy to be alive....listening, smiling, delighting, wowing, envying, crying, wishing I had a third of this talent. Chick and Bobby are amazing.
how can you have such clean bending on a bass (double bass? sorry english is not my first language) ? everythings incredible but that just gave me chills.
I saw Bobby in concert in Tampa maybe five or so years ago. Chick was in the audience sitting in the seat in front of me. I didn't realize until Bobby introduced him and welcomed him to the stage. What an awesome concert. Living legends!
That build-up at 12:20 is one of the greatest moments in the history of Jazz. The interaction, the creativity, the tension- damn, I am an adult man and I wet my pants everytime I get to hear this passage!
I was there in 1988 and it was incredible! If I remember correctly, the concert started with a delay because Chick was not satisfied with the piano tuner. RIP and thanks for the music.
Watching these musicians interact is like watching two professors talk about the height of their works with gusto. I do not understand everything they say to each other but I can understand the energy and power of the exchange not to mention the passion that comes with what they do.
Autumn leaves,par ces deux là,c 'est du délire,du génie!Du contrepoint!La voix,l 'étendue,le son!Ils s'entendent comme larrons en foire!Et quel bassiste,doublé d'une batteuse aérienne,le tout soupoudré d 'un swing intense!Bobby leader!Quel pied!
Amongst the very finest renditions of Autumn Leaves I've ever heard - this is SPIRITUAL FLIGHT right there and then. I'd have flown home if I'd have been at this awesome concert on hearing this tune. THANK YOU!
Collab made in heaven, to my ears...two of my favorites from different times in my life (obviously Chick MUCH earlier than Bobby). Has there ever been a voice more agile than Bobby's?
I was lucky to attend a 5-day workshop with Bobby McFerrin and his then-vocal group, Voicestra, at the Omega Institute about a dozen years ago. It was like being in the presence of a not-yet-ascended master whose prayers were all musical vocalizations, which we were led to participate in. There were professional musicians from all over the world who'd flown in for it; some couldn't even speak English, but they understood the music. I'm a total amateur with no professional aspirations, but I've always wanted to be freer about singing than I had been, so I participated with gusto and mostly on-pitch. Five of the best days of my life. And twice a day, we sang w/Bobby - and yes, one of the songs we worked on was Autumn Leaves. But it never, ever sounded like this!
yup. how many more hours of "sing like the stars" exercises do i have to do before i get that , PLEEEESE!???? answer: many, many ,many more, :( but it's fun to practice! ;)
I heard Bobby say, once, that he visualized himself performing in front of huge appreciative audiences, without really knowing what instrument he was to be playing...
he's gotten so much better. true master of the craft. he now has his own languages where instead of only oo's and ee's he sounds like he's speaking a different tongue. think simlish lol. and some sound african, european, indian, asian. dude is a genius. and his intonation is so much better now, he truly sounds like an instrument, all notes are locked in pitch-wise.
Here are three plus one gentlemen taking this golden oldie to town. I'd suggest that the critics get themselves an education. This is pretty sparkling sort of stuff. Good old Bobby is a mad driving force. A very enjoyable moment. Thank you for sharing Vladan.
Bobby is a mad genius of a musician, Chick Corea is a legend. Put them together & you get a wonderful alchemy. The critics don't know " bee from bulls - foot ", as my dad use to say.
It's not often as you grow up that you continue to get your mind blown by new performances, few and far between nowadays; I lived through this and it passed me by completely until now. Colour me blown away - thanks so much for posting. Really appreciate it. Superlative performance.
Guys, you are the best I have listened to for a long time. I really love abstract music. I t gives one a break form the drab of usual one. Bobby you are incredible
What a fantastic performance! Corea and Bobby are both geniuses not to mention the rythm section is also great! What a great amout of creative power they all bring to music with that joy and flow and easyness when they play like monsters! Amazing. that's music. But people stop makin' comments on their look... you have to just accept everyone looked bad in the 80's, that's a fact of life... Enjoy the music.
MI EMOZIONO COME UN BAMBINO AD ASCOLTARE QUESTA PERFORMANCE! IL JAZZ E' QUESTO VERSATILITA', INNOVAZIONE, INTUIZIONE,GENIALITA', NON E' MAI LA SOLITA MINESTRA RISCALDATA.. ODDIO, E' ANCHE VERO CHE QUESTO E' POSSIBILE ANCHE E SOLO GRAZIE ALL'ENORME BRAVURA DEI MUSICISTI CHE IN QUESTA BAND E' DI UN LIVELLO ALTISSIMO!!!
This is awesome. It capitulates all that is jazz improvisation. Autumn Leaves by Johnny Mercer is a beautiful standard and this quartet dignifies it to the max.
Great musical performance as always but kudos to the camera man's last shot where he is tight on Bobby, slowly pulls out and tilts down to Chick's hands racking focus with Bobby still in frame out of focus. A masterful shot.
Always wanted to see a collab between these two musical geniuses. I knew it would be NUTS, and it is, in a very good way. I don't think that bass player knows what a bassist is "supposed" to do...and it's awesome.
Their interaction reminds me of how I interact with my friend. He's a guitarist and I play sax, so we would trade 4's with each other and just delve into chords not even in the chart. It was great.
Wow. One of, if not *the* most brilliant improvs I've ever had the privilege of both seeing and hearing! (Easier for me to stay with the musical intricacies by being able to see the grounding body language that accompanies them! 😊)
OMG, these guys are totally hittin! This is what straight ahead jazz is all about, translated by Chick Corea. Bobby McFerrin is the excellent front man here, and John Patitucci and Tom Brechlein are incredible as well. Chick is the man!
Verry rich...like to understand life , trio masterpiece of god to create chick, john n dave, bless them and also bobby verry great. Pokona alus pisan anijng teh..gelo , kereen
It's like a kid playing with adults. Bobby's mind is in Looney Tunes Land most of the time, and with his amazing talent, he transcends what is perceived as complicated music to most of the worlds population, and helps create something that anyone, from a toddler to a world war I veteran, can take great joy from.
mullets. the lowest point in the history of, and (we hope) the future of hair fashion. omi god.please shoot me before you give one of THOSE Rupert! . ha. :p
John Patitucci literally translates into Truly Inspired. It's a wonder the stage itself didn't combust into flames with the band and audience running for their very lives and loving every minute of it.
John Patitucci. What a bassist. ❤
God......this makes me happy to be alive....listening, smiling, delighting, wowing, envying, crying, wishing I had a third of this talent. Chick and Bobby are amazing.
This ones always something to return to whenever I feel like I’ve lost some love for music. Always an inspiration. RIP Chick
@Ronin Adrian We don't. Don't ruin a heartfelt comment with the nonsense
how can you have such clean bending on a bass (double bass? sorry english is not my first language) ? everythings incredible but that just gave me chills.
True
I feel the exact same way
Exactly.
Chick and his ability to listen and respond and learn from, has and always will be his best attribute. Miles knew it.
Po Tato Exactly
I saw Bobby in concert in Tampa maybe five or so years ago. Chick was in the audience sitting in the seat in front of me. I didn't realize until Bobby introduced him and welcomed him to the stage. What an awesome concert. Living legends!
RIP Chick Corea, what a listener, what a musician, what a guy!
Amen
Jazz + mullet = The Jullet. You can't stop it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
John Mulletucci
Learned So Much About Music In 15 Minutes
More than in many so called lessons, this is the power that ear the top musicians have
That build-up at 12:20 is one of the greatest moments in the history of Jazz. The interaction, the creativity, the tension- damn, I am an adult man and I wet my pants everytime I get to hear this passage!

Only for that professors are mostly twats and they seems so cool about that.

Best vocal control and confidence I've ever seen.
he's pretty amazing.
the way he uses his range is amazing
try to listen Youn Sun Nah, you will allucinate
I was also amazed by Corea's control and confidence as well!
the best singer of the century, of course.
This is the most amazing and weird jazz improvisation I've seen
The MacSo what do you mean by goo goo?
@The MacSo Please answer. What does goo goo mean.
Bobby‘s vocals are out of this world as usual. And with such musicians around him he can shine even brighter. Insane talent combined 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amongst the very finest renditions of Autumn Leaves I've ever heard - this is SPIRITUAL FLIGHT right there and then. I'd have flown home if I'd have been at this awesome concert on hearing this tune. THANK YOU!
Amen
That breakdown from 7:10 - 7:40 going into the bass solo is one of the most special musical moments captured on video
Collab made in heaven, to my ears...two of my favorites from different times in my life (obviously Chick MUCH earlier than Bobby). Has there ever been a voice more agile than Bobby's?

What a magnificent instrument! Bobby McFerrin’s voice.
THIS is perfect intonation, singers. just wow.
yup. how many more hours of "sing like the stars" exercises do i have to do before i get that , PLEEEESE!???? answer: many, many ,many more, :( but it's fun to practice! ;)
is Bobby McFerrin even real though like I'm crying
He Is Amazing! Cry if you want to. It's ok .. I did. : - )
He's eccentric!!!😁
Eso k jajajajaj
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Same
7:55... John is amazing and his talent is simply incredible.
What a beautiful musical conversation... they shared their joy with us
Fantastic! This is exactly why Jazz is my favorite genre of music!
I love the whole performance, but especially John Patitucci's approach to this tune.
Holy shit. The perfect combination of egregious trims and beyond brilliant music.
I heard Bobby say, once, that he visualized himself performing in front of huge appreciative audiences, without really knowing what instrument he was to be playing...
That mullet is the only mistake I've ever seen Patitucci make.
and the shirt?
KSTsonic Haahah, I didn't even recognize that! Good catch.
This comment killed me. Too freaking funny.
hahaha
hahahahahaha damn
Bobby McFerrin has perfect pitch. Man can he scat! Chic and his band are sooooo cool.
could anybody watch this without bursting into smiles?
he's gotten so much better. true master of the craft. he now has his own languages where instead of only oo's and ee's he sounds like he's speaking a different tongue. think simlish lol. and some sound african, european, indian, asian. dude is a genius. and his intonation is so much better now, he truly sounds like an instrument, all notes are locked in pitch-wise.

I have watched this SO many times.
completely captures the joy and color of autumn… creativity, virtuosity and pure playful delight!
Even though my ears are not trained to fully understand this genius performance right now, I still appreciate it =P
Guys, you are the best I have listened to for a long time. I really love abstract music. I t gives one a break form the drab of usual one. Bobby you are incredible

QUÉ MARAVILLOSO DÚO!!!! EL GENIO "MULTIINSTRUMENTISTA VOCAL"·, COMO LO LLAMO Y ESE PIANO INIGUALABLE!!!! A DISFRUTAR!!!
MI EMOZIONO COME UN BAMBINO AD ASCOLTARE QUESTA PERFORMANCE! IL JAZZ E' QUESTO VERSATILITA', INNOVAZIONE, INTUIZIONE,GENIALITA', NON E' MAI LA SOLITA MINESTRA RISCALDATA.. ODDIO, E' ANCHE VERO CHE QUESTO E' POSSIBILE ANCHE E SOLO GRAZIE ALL'ENORME BRAVURA DEI MUSICISTI CHE IN QUESTA BAND E' DI UN LIVELLO ALTISSIMO!!!
Bobby McFerrin is so phenomenally gifted! He goes way off the gragh and the chart! Thank you so much for posting this video!!!🕊☺💛
Bobby is a genius. So is Chick. Great performance. As usual.
Holy shit at 5:25 the goosebumps came on hard. Amazing vocal control aswel.
wow amazing, don't know how but never seen this before thank you mr Vladan! this goes right to my favorities playlist!
A brilliant performance. Wow amazing! Wish i could see them live. So uplifting!
What an exquisite way of having fun! 😀 these people are CRAZY!😍👏
This is awesome. It capitulates all that is jazz improvisation. Autumn Leaves by Johnny Mercer is a beautiful standard and this quartet dignifies it to the max.
Love the spontaneous changes into double time (be it full double time or just the changes in double time), so cool.
If you ran McFerrin's voice through AutoTune, it would come out sounding the same, he's just that good.
Voice improvisation, LOVE IT!!!
Great musical performance as always but kudos to the camera man's last shot where he is tight on Bobby, slowly pulls out and tilts down to Chick's hands racking focus with Bobby still in frame out of focus. A masterful shot.
RIP CHICK👑💔
Intemporal.
Simplesmente, ARREPIANTE!
Obrigado pela partilha.
Love each note these mad guys do. Keep in mind they swing in double. Mind blowing, jaw dropping, true master class.
Always wanted to see a collab between these two musical geniuses. I knew it would be NUTS, and it is, in a very good way. I don't think that bass player knows what a bassist is "supposed" to do...and it's awesome.
Pure musical delight! An exciting and fun experience
I laughed so much with his interpretation. But I recognize that this is real music, and the best improvisation I have ever seen.
Ah mannn! This is so damn good!!
Astonishing!! I'm in another different world after this! Love you all. Amazing combo ever!
R. I.P. Chick corea 😔😪🙏
this is the greatest thing i've ever seen
Their interaction reminds me of how I interact with my friend.
He's a guitarist and I play sax, so we would trade 4's with each other and just delve into chords not even in the chart. It was great.
Amazing video! 3 great instrumentalist plus Bobby: I had the great honor to improvise with him on stage at Ravenna's Alighieri Theatre
Wow. One of, if not *the* most brilliant improvs I've ever had the privilege of both seeing and hearing! (Easier for me to stay with the musical intricacies by being able to see the grounding body language that accompanies them! 😊)
Thanks Vladan Stanojevic and RUclips!!!

OMG, these guys are totally hittin! This is what straight ahead jazz is all about, translated by Chick Corea. Bobby McFerrin is the excellent front man here, and John Patitucci and Tom Brechlein are incredible as well. Chick is the man!
I love this. This whole thing smokes, sizzles, and does a slow burn.
Wow simply amazing!!!
crazy good energy and talent going on here. I love the look on Chick's face watching ....
Thanks for uploading! Amazing performance.
Quelle merveille ,quelle liberté, quelle créativité et quel swing!Extraordinaire!Quel duo a part entière,deux instruments!
falo do Brasil, já vi esse vídeo mais de uma centena de vezes, adoro essa apresentação
McFerrin and Corea have such a great relationship. Obviously, Chick came out changing everything since the 80s. Nice collab.
Patitucci and Corea have a bigger bond. This is last time I'm commenting on my comment.
lol
Holy shit, why wasn't I born yet!!! :(
Best combo ever!!!
louis-paul Roosen My thoughts exactly.
+louis-paul Roosen the beauty of being born at the exact time you were is that you have even more great art to absorb...
The Patitucci tone..... Killer man...!!!
This is my favorite arrangement of this song. Only these two sirs could take autumn leaves and come up with this.
Verry rich...like to understand life , trio masterpiece of god to create chick, john n dave, bless them and also bobby verry great. Pokona alus pisan anijng teh..gelo , kereen
Bobby has always been my favorite jazz singer . Ever since "Return to Forever" Uh , oh,,, Just showed my age! LOL !!
Gracias por compartirlo!!!
Perfection !!
What amazing performance. All are awsome
The simple openings through which all the water in the world filters to quench the thirst of the dehydrated.
It's so perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chick Corea & Bobby McFerrin, they are really amazing,
great musicians, we are so lucky:) Thank you very much!!
my favorite after Bach and Mozart...
Oh, my! This is jazz genius!
BRAVO !!! BRAVO!!!!! BRAVO!!!!! Standing "O" !!!!!!!!!
It's like a kid playing with adults. Bobby's mind is in Looney Tunes Land most of the time, and with his amazing talent, he transcends what is perceived as complicated music to most of the worlds population, and helps create something that anyone, from a toddler to a world war I veteran, can take great joy from.
There's nobody in the known or unknown universe, this planet or otherwise like Bobby McFerrin
awesome..loved it..CC and JP Rocks...
I didn't know Corea and McFerrin played together so early. Thank you for sharing this video!
Great music! But that bass mullet holy moly!!!
mullets. the lowest point in the history of, and (we hope) the future of hair fashion. omi god.please shoot me before you give one of THOSE Rupert! . ha. :p
Eb major baby! I love this jazz standard.
Howard Stern sure can play piano
And that bloke in pyjamas who works at Jiffy Lube can play a mean bass solo.
Hoo hoo Robin watch me jam
guy thinks he's playing a clarinet
LOL !! But come on,,,Give Chic props Man !!!!
Dice Man
Geniuses at work!! this deserves far more views!!!
Loved every minute of this especially the bass solo!
John Patitucci literally translates into Truly Inspired. It's a wonder the stage itself didn't combust into flames with the band and audience running for their very lives and loving every minute of it.
These boys swing like mad. Which permits me to forgive Dave Weckl's mullet. And Patitucci's, for that matter.
***** Thanks for the correction. Still... not a good haircut.
Improvisation. Ad lib, Impromptu, Off the cuff , Spare of the moment, You name it, They DID IT !!!!
Oh my goodness. This is amazing!
Awesome!! Awesome!!!
