I fell in love with Ray Brown's bass playing at age 12. The secret to his playing? "Get a good sound! Play in tune!" That's it! Sounds simple, but it's not. Not at his level. What he doesn't mention is playing the right notes, and listening to those around you. He was the best.
Wow! These guys are ridiculously Good! Ray Brown will always be my favorite Bassist. What touch! What feel! What timing! What taste! Ray Brown Trio = my favorite jazz trio of all time. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
This is that "grown man music".....can't explain it....just groove with it.....3 legends, gettin it in.....Benny is a beast on the piano........another legend from Berkeley High's jazz ensemble, just like Joshua Redman......
@@dynasticlight8706 I have....many times....not too many horn players I haven't heard....I'm very passionate about jazz....I'm still trying to figure out if he's a relative....my favorite trumpet players are (in no order) Miles, Dizzy, Morgan, Brown, Hubbard, Hargrove, Armstrong, Shaw, Marsalis....so many others, so I'll stop there
Benny Green is fantastic pianist in the world, Greg Hutchinson is a monster of a drummer. Ray Brown is a Bass God, and the greatest bassist ever lived, he influence me to become a Upright Double Bass player. R. I. P. Ray Brown and Ella Fitzgerald Brown, they are together again. Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Brown were married from 1947 - 1953
@@giuseppecucchiarajazz Thanks for putting up this video of Ray Brown, I ever got see him play live😞. I wonder if Ray Brown is using Thomastik Spircore Weich strings Medium or Light Gage? Do you have the Ray Brown Bass Methods Essential Scales, Patterns and Exercises book . Hal Leonard Books? Fantastic book!! Great Exercises for the brain 🧠!!
Wow, supergroup. Benny's one of those "beyond" talents. What incredible, swinging and ferocious hands. Plus he's one of the kindest guys out there today.
Wow, what a performance ! This is what no AI "Deep Thought" can hope to match : Benny's interpretations and playing (what hands!) and the trio's immaculate synchronisation is just superb. Many thanks for sharing.
Luckily I have many CDs related to that period .... that's where I "met" Benny Green ...... now I also have the opportunity to "see" the concerts .... Thanks!
Swingin' soooo hard.....they was SWANGIN'!!!!! These three cats were a tremendous FORCE MULTIPLIER on that stage and had the audience in the palms of their hands!!! WOWSERRRRRR!
I caught these guys at Yoshi's in Oakland around this time. How awesome to see the legend Ray Brown with the up and coming Benny Green! I'll never forget it.
Do you know the list of standards they played? Brilliant music, hearing Ray's tone always makes me wish to get back into playing jazz. You can hear the years of experience behind every single note he plucks. Would love to work on some of these, thank you for sharing ♥️
Ray was the husband of my cousin, Ella Fitzgerald.... he's partially responsible for my picking up the bass... I play electric, but I noticed in the bass world, jazz bassists are egotistical like a mugg!😅 The only one I know of that exhibits humility was Ron Carter...lol... (Ray was something else tho!), Oh and Oscar Pettiford, my dad was besties with his son in high school and they kept up the relationship til I was 15-16. I never met him, but his wife told me a lot about him (she made the BEST chocolate chip cookies eeeeever! 😊)...
Ray Brown is in the one-bar club, as in, “All I need to hear is one bar, and I go, ‘Oh yeah, that’s Ray Brown.’”

yes they should show up on the video
I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-LE!
Notice their dynamics. Most jazz groups play soft at 9.5 and loud at 10. They are at a .01 for soft
yeah ray is always been great at that
Amazing
no words

@@giuseppecucchiarajazz my mom grew up while Ella was alive.. she has the REAL stories! Lol
you should interview her and record!!@@kahvinetic
❤️
I saw this band at Jazz a Vienne few years ago !
How? Ray Brown (the bandleader) died like 20 years ago!
lol
Maybe with Christina McBride? lol
What’s the name of that first tune???
tanga
It's more impressive than nice.
ci sta anche FSR ?
non credo
please wrote what a jazz standarts they played?
Someone has already done it a few comments ago. Scroll up and you’ll se the playlist.
I wonder what happened to his bass after he died. It must be out there somewhere.
I believe Christian McBride has at least one of Ray's basses.
@@bobderosa4079 Thank you?
i think john clayton has ray brown bass
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is the white Art Tatum. Everybody knows that.
I've been wating several years after this video disappeared😭
