Isn't it amazing that we have to look to Europe for great jazz video's and this is America's Musical Art Form. Thank God the Europeans had the sense and vision to record this. And thanks for posting.
It’s a little more complicated than that, I’m afraid. 1969. Music have changed significantly. Limited resources by the networks and public broadcasting couldn’t do everything. Jazz was in trouble at this time in the US. It no longer what is the Vanguard of popular music. To consider it shameful that US resources weren’t cataloging jazz combos is neither accurate nor well intentioned. Think of it this way. It’s great this was filmed and recorded, regardless of where and who recorded it.
Tim. Thanks. You're probably correct. I just know when I look at older video's so much seems to come from Europe. But the US did record many great jazz albums in the 60's. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Always open to learning more.
@@TimNelson but this is exactly what was meant I believe. Not in direct way. In Europe jazz was treated as an art form (not necessarily profitable), in US ... showbiz
@@MrJonahWhaler The reception of jazz /Black music as an art form in Europe as early as the 1920s derives from art and culture, as core human necessities, already being revered there for hundreds of years before Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Morton hit the scene. What Europeans see and hear when Ellington, Armstrong, Miles, Wes, Lady Day, et al arrived on there shores is modern art that equals in beauty and impact to that which they already hold in high esteem in their own pantheons--Bach Beethoven, Mozart, Verdi, Stravinsky..(Jazz uses the same harmonic system and notation as those cats did so its already a hybrid of African, Afro-American, and European esthetics.). There's also the fact that this clip was made when Black people were still fighting for basic legal rights in America and respect for us as human beings by the white majority, let alone as artists, couldn't have been lower. From a world perspective America has no tradition of great art and culture other than what the most despised groups here have produced, African Americans and Indigenous folk.
I attended this concert. It took place in "Maison de L'ORTF" in Paris ("Guitar workshop"). It was in 1969 and back then, I was 18. I was so stunned by what I heard that I realized that the gap between an amateur guitarist as I was and pro artists was too huge. I decided to stick to my medical college... As far as I can remember, Grant Green played also: Oleo, Open up the door (see Grant's trio footage).... Barney : One note Samba, The look of love, Manha de Carnaval, Samba de Orfeu.. Kenny: Shadow of your smile, etc.. The three: Undecided... Many thanks to Bob for reminding me a great part of my memory... PS: At 04:40, I still don't understand the genius chords chorus Barney did...
It's one thing to have licks but being able to place the order for. Soloing its not effective to. Play but not appreciate the experience don't rush it or think about getting to the next thing See the music through. To the end and if you are not savoring the experience you might not be doing it quite right Fear not it is simply a matter of setting priorities anew and once the sequence is right the rest tends to fall into place It is all about the sequence
They were professionals who were about the total sound, not who could play the hottest chops. They all had their own unique style of playing, that was just different enough. And then there was that bassman. He too was hot. And the drummer, just quitely keeping it all together and solid so each one had the total freedom to just stretch out to the farthest limits. TOO GOOD!!!
They had the discipline to play repetitive rhythm "parts" instead of changing it up ever bar like every pianist and guitarist has done since Bill Evans invented the "3 guys soloing at once" trio methode.. Also the disciplin e of having played in big bands, and R n B dance groups (they all did, for money, early on in their careers, and on the weekends on party gigs outside NYC, even Coltrane and Evans).
😂 - he was actually a great and of course funky comper. Evident on some of the organ recordings he did with the great Larry Young and Elvin… Like “Talkin bout JC”
I like Kenny Burrell's tone - so clean. I also noticed Green's expression of surprise - he actually stops playing for a moment - when Kessel does some melodic chords at 4:42.
These fabulous guitarists were the best. Sadly Grant died about 10 yrs after this concert and Barney in mid 2004. Kenny is still alive and just turned 91 a few months ago. But what these three Jazz Artists did was setting a trend of masterful Jazz -guitar playing, and imo the best of Jazz years. This is sublime inter-play folks and a stark reminder of how it used to be. Enjoy this live-gem & Cheers!
Excellent session by all of them. Could have been mr. Kessel's inspiration to form The Great Guitars eversince the early 70's (with Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd), as an absolute fore-taste of it.
I watched because I'm a Kessel fan, and really hadn't heard Kenny Burrell, though I knew of him. He's just incredible. I love his phrasing in particular. My new favorite.
I think Burrell is somewhat under-recognized compared to players like Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, or Jim Hall. I love all those guys so much. You hear echoes of those guys (and Charlie Christian, of course) in just about every jazz guitar player that's come along since.
Kenny Burrell underappreciated?? 😳 It's widely acclaimed as one of the best guitarist of all times in the history of jazz, but there's always someone, for any musician that comes out with this "underappreciated" thing.
@@pongufogu9457 When asked who their favorite traditional jazz guitarist was, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eddie Van Halen didn't hesitate...they said Kenny Burrell was.
Kenny burrel underappreciated oh my then you are way out line to my knowledge he is one.of.the best guitarist of all time i must say you don't understand jazz music
They are "guitar players" who hang out at Guitar Center, annoying anyone who can actually play a guitar. Freebird is probably their favorite song. They never heard of Charlie Christian or TBone Walker and don't realize their licks came from BACK THERE. Trolls....
Yeah, it's 26 now...just moronic little kids that are lost in youtube and getting mad they lost their video game or something. Know-nothing little brats, department store bagperson is there best bet in life! HA! (carry on)
Or it could be that goofy "EF" guy who claims Barney "flubbed"..lol It's annoying to see comments like that, then arguements insue...but at least i watched more closely, and more than once. This video is worthy of a thousand views per person!
@@nerijusvilcinskas7851 Narrower focus and preferences. Typical of American audiences and (many) musicians."i like 2 kinds of music. Country and Western." " I hate disco/tekno"."jazz is just a bunch of noodley notes noise made by wankers." Plus we're haters. Love to hate. European audiences I find tend to embrace a wider variety of styles. They typically say. "I like all kinds of music". But, the commenter doesn't hate Freebird, he just hates just the wankers in guitar stores who think they are impressing people by playing Freeebird chords and Jimmy Page's easy pull off riffs, loudly and too long. Or maybe he does hate Freebird. Ask him.
Kenny’s sound on his „solo“ 😱🙏😭 omg... that’s it! I think this here is the most amazing short concert I’ve ever heard. So much input at that short time 🙏👀 woao!!! Just woao ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for uploading this
I think there are lot of "jewels " among French archives . During the seventies I used to go to the " studio 104 de la Maison de la Radio " and was lucky enough to see and hear lot of jazz Greats .
Grant could play chords man. He was a master musician. I remember reading in liner notes that he taught larry young and John patton how to play. Both Larry and John said that on the back of their albums. Grant was a professional musician at 11 years old. He could read and everything. His concept is super hip and he could fit in perfectly in a wide variety of styles. He also has to be one of the most recorded guitarists of all time he's on hundreds of records. I love Grant.
What? 24 give a thumbs down??? Must be Clapton or Gary Clark fans? Even Hendrix was present for this when Jazz Expo hit London in 1969. This is TIMELESS stuff with wonderful close ups of all 3 legends.. I can't thank you enough Bob The Juke.
Three very different styles and all great. I love the way Kessel uses chords and incorporates bends, his style is so unique. Grant Green's tone and melodic ideas are fantastic while Kenny Burrell's playing is clean as always and so well crafted.
It's amazing how all the jazz greats played together in so many different combinations. This makes me wonder if Green and Montgomery played together and if there's film of it.
Cool to see Green soloing-and wow his hands were huge! Love Greens easy sweet soloing on the 2nd tune-he phrases so sweet. Burrell shines on the 1st Blues tune. The Masters showin how it’s done. Kessels chord riffs are mind blowing. Great Vid👍
This is straight up gold. Not only did I find your Grant Green video tonight, but this too?? You made my week - seeing them interact, things like the look on Grant Green’s face when Barney Kessel is doing part of his chord solo trying to figure out what to do with the two lost beats with the bassist, the great playing...it’s all priceless. Thank you!
Bob Juke - thank you so much for posting these live videos featuring Grant Green - as far as I know there is NOT a lot of video footage of him playing so this was a real treat - what a wonderful guitarist - nice to see him with Barney Kessel and Kenny Burrell - what a great concert -
What a gem of a film recording! Superb, and each guitarist a master in their own right. They were true musicians with that perennial student fascination of the art. Grant seems particularly enjoying the moment when Kessel is in the middle of his chordal phrasing. Thanks, Bob the Juke!!!
Nice!! They play a rhythm changes tune to open and then they each have their own features with bass, drums and a guitar comping. Grant Green's feature is at 11:48, Barney Kessel's is at 18:50 (I'm Glad There is you) and Kenny Burrell's is at 23:30 (Imagination.) Then they close with the familiar blues theme Blue Mist. Nicely recorded, a very special performance not to be missed! Thanks so much for posting this!!
At 11:48 Grant Green starts with the intro of Charles Trenet's French song " Que reste t-il de nos amours ? " (literally "what is left from our love ? )......American re -wrote as "I wish your love " .
Three great jazzers presenting their dress style (even pocket square) along with their wonderful instruments and amazing playing. Give me a relaxing smoky club and a short from a proper glass to a big, impersonal stadium ANY time!
SET LIST: "How Could You Do a Thing Like That To Me?" BALLADS: “I Wish You Love” by Grant Green; “I’m Glad There Is You” by Barney Kessel; "????" (STLL STUMPED BY THIS ONE) by Kenny Burrell; And some Blues to end the show (fragment)
This is most excellent playing! I am so happy that I stumbled upon this. I have been listening to them for 3 consecutive afternoons and evenings now and I know I will listen again tomorrow. Very inspiring. -Peter
Yeah Grant simply did not know what to play at that moment due to magic show going on with Barney. Nice to see he also has these moments of wtf and keeps smiling and playing ... great stuff.
What a great concert video of these amazing players! Aside from that, I believe it's the only footage of such incredible instruments being played on one stage and performance at the same time. A real treat to jazz guitar enthusiasts. Special attention to pickups here, three rather rare ones in current jazz guitar scene: DeArmond Rhythm Chief, Gibson McCarty (although I've never seen one with volume/tone knob right next to the neck) and Charlie Christian pickup. CC and McCarty, I think, are quite often associated with Kessel and Green respectively. Yet I think Burrell plays with a humbucking pickup mostly, so it's fun to hear him with this single coil type of sound.
4:40 I used think this awesome chord solo on the bridge was what made Grant Green react so. And maybe that was still part of the reason. But Barney starts the bridge 1 beat early, and possibly threw the others off for a half sec
If this was not on film no one would believe it had happened. So much greatness on one stage. This needs to be on a disc or LP. If it is, I'd love to buy it. Let Me know.
David Chase-Lopes ils sont trop fantastique, c’est vrai! J’ai étudié le chanson “On green dolphin street” et le solo de grant green; c’est incroyable. Tu doit l’ecouter. (Désolé pour mon français, j’suis un étudiant pathétique de l’états unis haha)

haha, G.G. looks a little bit confused too :D
I believe what they say, “It’s either you have it or not”. Just enjoy what you have, folks. 😅
@@user-un5wn6iz4w I'll correct it for you: it's either you work it or not
Whenever I think "I play guitar", I watch this and think "I fool around with the guitar". These guys are absolute monsters on the instrument!
Three guitars on stage and no one is stepping on any toes, that’s something new players have lost 💯
They all respected and loved each other ,that's why,,,
It's one thing to have licks but being able to place the order for. Soloing its not effective to. Play but not appreciate the experience don't rush it or think about getting to the next thing

I like Kenny Burrell's tone - so clean. I also noticed Green's expression of surprise - he actually stops playing for a moment - when Kessel does some melodic chords at 4:42.
True! Grant’s face is like “WTF?!”
It's because Kessel skips half a bar when he goes into the bridge. Green and the bass player adapt after a couple of bars.
@@riccagiaco yeah like "wtf u doin homeboy" ahaha
I also immediately noticed how fat and buttery Kenny’s tone was amazing playing from all 3 virtuosos!

Yeah I'm just discovering him too was a Kessel fan as well prior to this.
I love every one of these guys and have listened to them for decades ... but my favorite is Grant Green! I just love his ideas!
Grant'solo over the rhythm changes song is phenomenal. I love these 3 guys.
Does this rythm changes song have a name??
BY GOD I AM SO HAPPY SOMEONE FOUND THIS CONCERT FOOTAGE!!!! Thank you! Thank you THANK YOU!!!!

Grant Green has left us the best of himself in the second tune, how cool...that's a wonderful tune...
thank you for this
He had had a heart attack (drug / lifestyle related) and his doctors told him to retire but sadly he didn't, and died of heart failure in 1979.
Wish I could go back in time, to see this - but I was only 7. I'd go if I could & have a whole different life!
Incredible guitar artistry! You can tell that they're so enjoying each other!
I could watch this all day !!!
ahhhhh but it's different at night
I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to see this video! It's pure gold. Thank you so much Bob!

for me Grant's pacing and flow on faster tunes is #1. i love how effortlessly he just glides on top of everything
Especially from 18:10 to 18:44....how he ends that tune by playing a chord and then improvising over that chord to resolve the song.
What a treat! I never imagined I'd ever see and hear such amazing playing - Grant is such a poet. Gratitude for this precious recording.
Yes, you touched on it
Pure poetry..... Absolutely.
Three very different styles and all great. I love the way Kessel uses chords and incorporates bends, his style is so unique. Grant Green's tone and melodic ideas are fantastic while Kenny Burrell's playing is clean as always and so well crafted.
finally some extensive footage of the great Grant Green! bless you brother for posting this!
You'll like this then I'm sure :-) Bob... ruclips.net/video/OdFYaK_nUCs/видео.html
Grant Green was a swing monster
Just the best!! My brother turned me onto Kenny, then took me to see Grant in San Francisco in '73, my 2 faves
Bassist was as great ! For those with the ear to recognize...
Yep! at 8:00 he is KILLIN it
Yes! Larry Ridley on bass! He's played with many of the greats.
It's amazing how all the jazz greats played together in so many different combinations. This makes me wonder if Green and Montgomery played together and if there's film of it.

What a gem of a film recording! Superb, and each guitarist a master in their own right. They were true musicians with that perennial student fascination of the art. Grant seems particularly enjoying the moment when Kessel is in the middle of his chordal phrasing. Thanks, Bob the Juke!!!
Barney Kessell is still my favorite shredder.
Nice!! They play a rhythm changes tune to open and then they each have their own features with bass, drums and a guitar comping. Grant Green's feature is at 11:48, Barney Kessel's is at 18:50 (I'm Glad There is you) and Kenny Burrell's is at 23:30 (Imagination.) Then they close with the familiar blues theme Blue Mist. Nicely recorded, a very special performance not to be missed! Thanks so much for posting this!!
The opening tune is "How Could You Do a Thing Like That To Me?" by Allan Roberts and Tyree Glenn.
Thank you!
Green's Ballard is "I Wish You Love" (with verse). They do an unusual double-time stretching out of the melody.
Last number is cut short (Sux).
At 11:48 Grant Green starts with the intro of Charles Trenet's
French song " Que reste t-il de nos amours ? " (literally "what
is left from our love ? )......American re -wrote as "I wish your
love " .
Three great jazzers presenting their dress style (even pocket square) along with their wonderful instruments and amazing playing.

What a great concert video of these amazing players! Aside from that, I believe it's the only footage of such incredible instruments being played on one stage and performance at the same time. A real treat to jazz guitar enthusiasts. Special attention to pickups here, three rather rare ones in current jazz guitar scene: DeArmond Rhythm Chief, Gibson McCarty (although I've never seen one with volume/tone knob right next to the neck) and Charlie Christian pickup. CC and McCarty, I think, are quite often associated with Kessel and Green respectively. Yet I think Burrell plays with a humbucking pickup mostly, so it's fun to hear him with this single coil type of sound.
What a treat !!Thanks so much for posting this!!
15:33 Grant Green... Maaan, so beautiful!
Three masters. This is really great. Thanks.
one of the best videos on youtube. pure gold!!
thank you, Bob the Juke!
Unbelievable.... GREAT STUFF LOVE GRANT & BARNEY SPECIFICALLY !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE GENIUS WHO UPLOADED THIS
Thanks for posting. Absolutely fantastic fret work as expected!
Thank you thank you thank you so much....
18:47 Grant gets a shock? He was so great in this tune, "I Wish you love". Nice comping by Barney too
4:40 I used think this awesome chord solo on the bridge was what made Grant Green react so. And maybe that was still part of the reason. But Barney starts the bridge 1 beat early, and possibly threw the others off for a half sec
Thankyou! Absolute magic!
Thank You , So very very much. For posting, this wonderful, gem.
