Veronica Swift’s voice is incredible
she's a true pro!
closest I've ever heard to Ella especially in the lower registers
Ouit
@@bbjazzIII maybe another record with her ? Hehe ...
@@Yousefmesef She is really good but but but too much influence of Ella, with all my respect, Verónica is incredibly perfect.
Man, the musicianship in the video is absolutely out of this world. BBIII you're a monster...Christian's pocket? Oh lawd.
OMG HELLO IM A BIG FAN
The whole group is just talent and hard work definitive hey. Swings so hard!
I'm so hurt
Ive been listening to this everyday for the last 2 weeks
(Edit) Just kidding. 7-8 months now
(Another Edit) Lmaoooo about a year now
me too
Imagine how long it's been stuck in MY head! lol
So have i
@@bbjazzIII Lucky man your are, to sing with Veronica :) :) And good singer too, Benny :) : )
Your duo is terrific !!!
Watch Veronica’s reaction at 1:33! Best version I’ve heard so far. Outstanding musicianship. Great job with the lyrics!
That was crazy when I first heard it mad talent
Best version EVER!
It can't get better than that..
😂😂😂😂 I love this moment
Contemporary jazz singers summit that's got it all: singing, vocalise and scat singing by two of the best around.
Benny love the vocalese …. Truly a lost art form… You are the best of any contemporary vocalese singers… Eddie Jefferson is in heaven, now laughing and crying his head off…😂❤❤🎉😢😂❤
that Moody's mood quote at 1:19
haha you caught me ;)
Isn't that in turn a quote from "English Country Garden?"
@@michaelnorris2522 Correct
I discovered this style of song when I first heard King Pleasure's cover of Moody's Mood for Love, nearly 50 years ago.
After 47 years of listening only to jazz, I can say that this is a wonderful performance
No one does this better than Veronica
Veronica is an amazing artist with the sweetness of Ella's voice and the incredible musicianship of Anita Oday. What a find!!!
Just a big "yes," Shirley.
Can’t. Stop. Listening.
I discovered back around 1957 that some musicians/singers were so much more capable than we mere mortals.
3:40 YES GIRL GET IT ✨☀️⭐️
Yup, I've found it. My favorite music genre is Benny Benack III
Bro if isn’t one of the greatest things ive heard idk. Both have amazing voices!!
How on earth did I JUST NOW stumble across you guys?! RUclips algorithms suck. I want more like this
Without question....the absolute BEST version of this song in existence. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC IN EVERY SINGLE REGARD!!!!!!!!!
This is outstanding...
It's Mel, it's Ella, it's Dave, Jon and Annie... no less !!!
(the list could go on... you have it all !)
Adorable, both. Virtuosic and joyful and perfectly in character. A revelation.
Getting some serious "King Pleasure" vibes out of this one WOW!!
Wonderful !!! I'm a big Swift fan. And now I'm so happy to discover another great singer: BENNY BENACK !!!!!
I don't usually comment but this is one hell of a song. I've been listening to it since it came out, and I find myself back here again and again. Incredible work!
thanks so much for breaking customs to speak out ;)
Wow! The real deal! Please God, let the numb public know about these fab artists!!!!!!!!!
Over the top with brilliant singing and vocalese. The arrangement is also uber brilliant. Two of the top upcoming jazz vocalist/players on the scene today, Benny and Veronica!
Bass player and rhythm also brilliant!!
Their voices returns me to 1950 NY
Wow , two of the greatest vocalists on the scene today together in the studio.And what a rhythm section.McBride is such a master.
I get the Moody's Mood for Love vibe.... ❤
I love the way they meet on the final note.
awesome.....100% pure swing juice
That was really cool. A conversation put to music. Great.
These people really grasp music to the core. BEAUTIFUL!
I was listening for days on RUclips Music and just came to see who the bassist was. Of course it's Christian McBride XD
Benny, and Veronica’s lyric runs are so Eddie Jefferson. So hip.
On repeat for the last two weeks. No sign of this ending any time soon.
Late to the party, but wow! So glad I found this!
This is scary good
Jazz lives
Just heard this on Real Jazz SXM and came here to hear it again. The pitch control is incredible!
Christian McBride all day... Wow.
This video makes me want to see these two together VERY OFTEN. Love the improvs. So nice to hear!
Benny, I absolutely love your amazingly musical and unique feel and melodic approach to playing (especially as a trumpeter), it just puts me in a great mood every time. Keep the bar high BB3!
Love this, what a great feel.
Christian McBride helps! ha
@@bbjazzIII Oh yes, absolutely. I play a lot of my jazz guitar in Bb as well. It's a real jazz key along with Eb, F and C.
I always seem to come back to this song whenever I have a little jazz phase again
Merci pour ce bon moment 🙂
Keep replaying at 1:54 ahh perfection
Oh yeah!!!!
This performance puts this duo up there with Jackie and Roy.
that is one of the slickest things I've ever heard
Absolutely gorgeous! Stumbled across this after the Jaq The trombone transcription. You guys are uber incredible! Your tone and clarity is just amazing!
Benny this one is a home run, baby.
I laugh and cry each time I'm listening this. Love them ! Great musicians... Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a joy to listen to and watch these two fantastic singers! You can hear and see the fun they had recording this song.
Love Benny and Veronica. This arrangement is great and allows them to drive the music instead of the music arrangement boxing them in.
Incredibly!!!
I keep returning to this all the time. It's magical. Might be addicted.
I've never heard vocals better than this. You're both absolutely insane. And the band...just watched an Aimee Nolte vid discussing how to swing hard. She could have just referenced this vid. Gold Standard. Christian you're a monster.
And Veronica too !
Never? Absurd! You've obviously never listened to Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughn! Get outta here with that BS!
The two best young jazz singers today. The art of Vocalese ain't for the faint of heart 🤎
insane personnel on this one
University of OWENS JR. Swinging and so tasteful drumming!
Whaaat! How have I only just seen this? This is one of the most perfect jazz videos I've ever seen. Flawless vocals, smoking band, SUCH a swing. Can't explain how much I love this.
Magnificent version of a great Gigi Gryce tune! Benny and Veronica so awesome in duet - and Christian McBride & crew top notch behind them. Wonderful stuff!
Great. Some part of the song reminded me 'Moody's Mood For Love '
Nice! It is so nice and refreshing to see members of the younger crowd (yeah, I'm only in my early 40s) not only getting into jazz singing at all but doing it well. Swingin' rhythm section and fantastic vocals.
Happen to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that's all
Lately I've though lots about you
So I thought I'd pay a social call
Do you recall the old days?
We used to have a ball
Not that I'm lonesome without you
I just thought I'd pay a social call
I thought I'd say
Things are just swell
But to tell the truth
I haven't been so well
And if you should try to kiss me
I promise that I won't stall
Maybe we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental
Elemental
Simple
Social call
Do you remember all the good times that we had my baby girl
I'll never forget that you've got the greatest smile in the world, oh
My sugarplum fairy, don't hold a grudge
I simply had to say hello once more
And am I insane or do I really see a world
Were you and I could be together, forever
When buttercup, don't slam the door in my face
Unless you really wanna spill my heart all over the place
Oh... I guess we going to spend a lot of time
Hanging out like this, I'm trying to break my habit of you
But... since we weren't back together I suppose we
Should try to start a new, dear, what do you say?
Oh I can't take it
My heart is breaking
I'm laying it on the line
If you can find it in your mind that there is just
A little itsy, bitsy, chance that you might miss me
Lets give it a furl
Baby we played this game a thousand million times
I should throw your heart in jail for all of it's crimes
You say that you love me and I think that its true
But why should I just sit at home awaiting for you
When were together
There's always stormy weather and I really feel
Like sitting on a beach, with you out of reach
Whenever you smirk I get weak in the knees
But if you're a jerk all tune out all of your please
Well I suppose just wondering could it hurt but just one nothing more
I'm onto all of your tricks, but if you slip up ill show you the door
I must be crazy but I'm coming around
But if you do me wrong ill run you out of this town
I guess that I could give you one more chance now to prove your
The man who can love me every day and never leave my side ever again
If you should try to kiss me baby, I promise I won't stall
Maybe we'll get back together

Love this!!! Already transcribing it :)
can't wait to hear it!
Been obsessing over this for the past two days.
Goodness!
Ahhh! I cant stop listening to this, again and again and again, its so good!
Fantastic !!!!!
They swing ! Both have tremendous style, and above average instruments and control. Veronica has a slightly bigger resonating cavity than Benny's. Phenomenal phrasing by each. Bravo!
benny and veronica are keeping jazz alive!!! thank you
OMG..Lambert Hendricks and Annie Ross!! This is fantastic! Just found this. Made my week!
Veronica's mother sang with the Lambert Hendricks Ross group.
Woooo! This is burnin! The groove is so locked in
This one belongs in the Time Capsule ! SO MUCH TALENT IN ONE VIDEO ! Thanks for this !
What a talented group of musicians, the lot of you! I'm so glad I found your personal channel, Mr. Benack. It's an absolute gem.
thanks so much for listening and the support!

Julia Jachim “one drink” not wondering
*oh i guess it might just have been a long long time since we hung out like this
why does it have to be male and female though
@@guidemeChrist huh he's just writing out benny and veronica's parts tho?
Thank you
Last night my friend Blake for his senior spotlight at a choir concert sang this with his girlfriend Maria. It was amazing and when he wasn’t singing he played the saxophone and absolutely crushed it! My friends cash and gabe were also playing the background jazz.
Straight to my pleasure center!
Great duet! You both sound great. Looking forward already to hearing Veronica live at NSJ in Rotterdam this summer. Maybe you could tag along Benny?
god, damn this is so good!!! Eddie Jefferson vibes up in here backed by the heavy C. McBride POCKET !!!

There's hope for the millenial generation. Lol. I was grinning ear to ear in utter rapture at the two of you. Well done!
I need to come here to view and listen to this perfect performance several times a month since it's out. Probably my favourite video on YT this year. THANK YOUUUUU💕 xxx
Beautiful… Benny and Veronica together ! It’s magic … . The first time I listened to Veronica on a local radio station … I was blowing away !
Let two amazing voices meet three of the finest today's musicians and the result is just stunning!
This has literally made my month :) look forward to hearing the rest of the album!
Cal Herron well your support made my day! 😉
