I just noticed for the first time that all this while my favorite part of the track was just him tuning the guitar while playing! That's the beauty of jazz. Like Miles Davis said, there's no such thing as a wrong note!
I met Norman Brown at Summer Storm in Phoenix several years back. What an amazing dude. This dude makes you feel at home, very inviting. One of my best Jazz players.
I’ll always remember that week he was at Musicians Institute while I was a student and I always meant to bring by my copy of his CD. I finally got around to it and he had left. Great guitarist
Is it me or what? A smooth Jazz legend, perhaps one of the best Jazz guitar players on the planet is giving a free concert and nobody is paying attention or cares?! WTF
@ Fatma Hures...The depressing thing is that a lot of people aren't actually appreciating a fine musical performance because they are often rather ignorant. Most people are however, often taken in by guitarists who pull poses and strut around stages even if their playing is quite poor.
The Way the Guys in the background are acting is Simply showing “Hate”. How can You not be Amazed at what this Great Legend is doing. I can’t stand “Haters” like that, im sure there’s other reasons they’re not paying attention, but I won’t get into that...... Lot’s of “Haters” in this World. But that was Awesome.👍
I like how the people in the background are having a conversation, but you can see how they're progressively aware that this guy is smoking this tune. Also, he had some bad tuning on a string at the start. I think he did a quick adjustment at 1:25 or so and fixed it without skipping a beat.
If I happened past this booth, I woulda stopped and been like "Wait....is that?....hold on....it can't be....but IT IS!!"....Then I woulda bout fainted.....then I'd just stand there and enjoy this unbelievable moment.
Got the AR580CE-BLU brand new for a crazy deal on eBay for $750.. Been looking for one for over a year. They usually go for around $1000-1300. They're such great guitars .. definitely try and get your hands on one to at least try it out. Solid archtop with a nice tone
PsycOtic ReacTion What????. Think again..dont believe me go pull up some of GB tapes, recordings and videos...GB is unreal and a totally different cat. To me its no comparison. Norman plays smooth and R&B jazz..GB plays....well...check for yourself. Norman is great but better than GB?..not hardly.
You may be playing after the love is gone, but that doesn't apply to me, because my love for your music is going nowhere! ....and remember! They that are for you, are more than they that be against! God Bless!
A true genius surrounded by people who are busy doing the networking grift. lol He's brilliant. His guitar playing is an instrument/vessel used to reach out, yet everyone walks past him. Sounds familiar. Personally I'd stop dead in my tracks just to bear witness. The guy at 4:14 looks suspicious. He thinks he's spotted something. lol
Are those people the walking dead or tone deaf. Why come in the store just to BS. Listen to some quality music instead of the main rap crap and third rate musicians. No emotion at all. Damn
Those tone deaf MFs are sales execs at a music equipment conference (NAMM). They dont lnow shit about music and only care about closing the next big deal. They dont even know who Normam Brown is and they could care less. Sad what has happened to the music industry.
Que??? Me pareció que una mujer le dice que no toque su IPad? Ayayay la ignorancia es arriesgada. Esa mujer ni siquiera sabe de quién se trata ya que de otra manera le hubiera dado todas las facilidades para que el maestro nos deleite con su excepcional arte ya que así no más na se presentan esa clase de lujos. Dios perdone a esa ignorante. Nunca faltan!

Simply one of the best jazz guitarist
Of all time .
People behind are from another planet

Two words: Norman Brown! Enough said.
A legend at work.
I’ll always remember that week he was at Musicians Institute while I was a student and I always meant to bring by my copy of his CD. I finally got around to it and he had left. Great guitarist
Got all this man's cds...he is ever so talented and takes music to a higher level
The legendary Norman Brown. Amazing!
Norman gets to give all the new guitars a real test drive. He's in a serious relationship with this particular blue one. Awesome.
Is it me or what? A smooth Jazz legend, perhaps one of the best Jazz guitar players on the planet is giving a free concert and nobody is paying attention or cares?! WTF
As Joni Mitchel wrote ... 'For Free' .
Absolutely agree. Such a great performance & no one is paying attention.The people there must be DEAF 😯

Welcome to NAMM
It's NAMM - it's all about cutting deals....
The Way the Guys in the background are acting is Simply showing “Hate”. How can You not be Amazed at what this Great Legend is doing. I can’t stand “Haters” like that, im sure there’s other reasons they’re not paying attention, but I won’t get into that...... Lot’s of “Haters” in this World. But that was Awesome.👍
No, we're simply surrounded and outnumbered by idiots.
Looks like an on the spot jam, no rehersal. You can tell he was still finding some chords and also tuning the guitar. Amazing guitarist👏👏🙏
I like how the people in the background are having a conversation, but you can see how they're progressively aware that this guy is smoking this tune. Also, he had some bad tuning on a string at the start. I think he did a quick adjustment at 1:25 or so and fixed it without skipping a beat.
He's inside a music store. You got to adjust to what brand guitar you pick up, but make sure it's tune to 440.
Beautiful Play through, shades of George. Excellent
smooth rhythm , brother. bless your God-given talent! regards from the Philippines.
What a talented man. Awesome.
He played that so beautifully.
Love me some Norman Brown...so smooth like butter effortless🌬🌊
Tough song to make sound good. Norman does it perfectly!! Love it!
If I happened past this booth, I woulda stopped and been like "Wait....is that?....hold on....it can't be....but IT IS!!"....Then I woulda bout fainted.....then I'd just stand there and enjoy this unbelievable moment.
Blue guitar for a blues tune! After love has gone there is always MUSIC! 🎸🎼
Norman is a genius!!
PURE GENIUS!!!
¡Excelente! Bella versión y gran interpretación. Felicidades Norman 🇲🇽
Such a great player. And a great guitar. Eastmann is producing very nice instruments. I bought this model
Eli A what did it cost you if you don't mind?

Wonderful!
One of my favorite EWF songs.
I love it..no studio gimmicks 🔥🔥🔥
Omg. . absolutely incredible. . . smooth.
Man, that groove! So smooth.
0:19 that man in the back quite visibly fell in love at that moment
1:00 the lick
I love you Norman Brown😘😍❤
Great performance! Thank you for sharing.
beautiful rendition!! genuine maestro!!
I got all cds and i feel happy to hear all his songs
Lo mejor de lo mejor del smooth jazz, el tío Norman.
Sou do Brasil, gosto muito das musicas de Norman Brown
Ribamar Gonçalves somos 2
Somos 3 kkkkkk

I CAN BELIEVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG HAS A SAD NAME
That's what makes it so all of those things, though. Beautiful, sad, beautiful again, happy, inspiring, wise.
I love how these guys behind paid atention after this lovely modulation after 0:50
Amazing......
Tune it up doc! Oh oh D-Dub strolling through at 4:15
Norman is the Sh#t. Love him!!! Maurice would love it!!!
Stormin Norman!!💚
I wish I had the backing tracks he's using ! Norman is one of my favorites.
Norman. Just a genius!!
I called this sweet sounds
just like me i want to stop by and want to listen to a beautiful music
Priceless
very good!!!
i wish i knew how to play like that word...that's awesome!!
Thumbs up if you too also noted that Hot chick walking past @4:38 . I did pause video to check her out
I kind jumped to 4:38 myself..
hahahahah
Модель! Очень красивая!
those dudes in the background are souless !
awesome music
awesome!
RICO ESE TONO Y ESA TONADITA
Legendary talent
That's like a free concert, not sure why people are just walking by. If I was there I'd be sitting in front of him and watch til he leaves the place.
They do not know good music
They have zero clue as to where they are, frankly. It happens to us all.
Guys at the back talking : man we need to stop.. this guy is nailing EWF
love it.
Dude...when he hits his stride.....Cool!
Imádom Normant.... De a gitár hamis.. 😢
very beautiful congratulations i like very much all my heart
linda performance!!!
Amazing wow....
Bravo man.
Norman Brown eh fera!
The best guita 🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥🤗🙌🏾👀💥
❤
wow
This song always seemed off beat to me, but yet just impeccable timing somehow, he manages to play behind the beat amazingly.
Dayum!
not only aren't many paying attention but if they were at a concert they'd be yakking with their friends about where they had lunch yesterday ...
good stuff!
WOW!! I love his phrasing, timing, when to lay back, use of octaves, etc. George Benson ain't got nothing on Norman Brown!!!!
PsycOtic ReacTion What????. Think again..dont believe me go pull up some of GB tapes, recordings and videos...GB is unreal and a totally different cat. To me its no comparison. Norman plays smooth and R&B jazz..GB plays....well...check for yourself. Norman is great but better than GB?..not hardly.
George is Norman’s mentor.. As well as many other jazz greats..
excelente
AMEI!!!!
🔥💯
👍😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
that is crazy cool..... i woulda been like oh shit that's norman brown!!!
You may be playing after the love is gone, but that doesn't apply to me, because my love for your music is going nowhere! ....and remember! They that are for you, are more than they that be against! God Bless!
The guitar was not prepared, obviously. But yet the music is still goooooood
Love their playing these songs with such feleings
When is the next Eastman show? Will Norman be there?
wow!! i wonder where that was!! an airport? anyway, i'm glad george bensaon has an heir
AT NAAM Anaheim CA The Eastman Guitar Booth
I can't find Nomans model on the Eastman website.
Anybody know what guitar is he using there ???
That’s his Eastman Guitars Signature Edition
Most of the people in the shop think its a stereo or radio playing not live guitar
A true genius surrounded by people who are busy doing the networking grift. lol He's brilliant. His guitar playing is an instrument/vessel used to reach out, yet everyone walks past him. Sounds familiar. Personally I'd stop dead in my tracks just to bear witness. The guy at 4:14 looks suspicious. He thinks he's spotted something. lol
Love that he's playing the George Benson edition....we all pay tribute to our heros!
This is his own rendition
Does anyone know the name of the guitar?
its an Eastman Guitar
Eastman AR580-CE
Robert Glasper makes an appearance @1:43
Good on ya Norm keep them quessing....lol
What's with the fake background? Not needed.
Are those people the walking dead or tone deaf. Why come in the store just to BS. Listen to some quality music instead of the main rap crap and third rate musicians. No emotion at all. Damn
To be fair all, those are all professional artist. NAMM invitation only. They aren't shading Norman, they are just casual there and respecting his set
Those tone deaf MFs are sales execs at a music equipment conference (NAMM). They dont lnow shit about music and only care about closing the next big deal. They dont even know who Normam Brown is and they could care less. Sad what has happened to the music industry.
Man, at least tune up to the background tracks.
Why don't you show him? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What the hell happened? Where's my baby?
Invitaría amablemente a las personas de atras a abandonar el lugar!
That's another way to play guitar to just play the words to the song.
