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…😂❤❤🎉😢😂❤
Very good vocalists of the younger generation firmly rooted in the best jazz tradition that they have learned from their forefathers. Long live what is well done! A joy to listen to these young vocalists and musicians! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
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!
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!!
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.
Great 21st Century update! Veronica and Ben put their own unique spin on this classic! A scat-singing, improv delight. Great "Moody's Mood" quote by Ben. Christian, Ulysses, and Takeshi on bass, drum and piano keep it swinging in the pocket.
How wonderful that such delightful skills are still around. This is some of the best, hippest, most dazzling, clever perfectlion in music making that I've ever heard, and at 77 years old, I've heard a lot. It's like Mel Torme and Ella are still with us. Thank you, Benny. Thank you, Veronica. Thank you, Steve.
Absolutely gorgeous! Stumbled across this after the Jaq The trombone transcription. You guys are uber incredible! Your tone and clarity is just amazing!
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!
So beautiful to see Master Christian start off, Benny and Veronica flyting through this vocalese togehter. WOW, adorable! Wunderschön! as we Germans say.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Benny and Veronica you had made a VERY GOOOOOOOOOOOD JOB !!!!!!!! As usual !!!! :) I love you both !!! Now, we WANT you for a full album, with the Emmet's trio (Russel and Kyle) and some other guests !!!!!
@@bbjazzIII This is a very good news Benny ! I'm happy for you and yours friends ! Happy New Ear, Hear and Year (Yeah !) 🙂😉 And a big kiss to Veronica, one of my favorite new singers.
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.
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
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
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.
I discovered back around 1957 that some musicians/singers were so much more capable than we mere mortals.
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…😂❤❤🎉😢😂❤
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.
I was listening for days on RUclips Music and just came to see who the bassist was. Of course it's Christian McBride XD
After 47 years of listening only to jazz, I can say that this is a wonderful performance
Contemporary jazz singers summit that's got it all: singing, vocalise and scat singing by two of the best around.
Can’t. Stop. Listening.

thanks so much for breaking customs to speak out ;)
Yup, I've found it. My favorite music genre is Benny Benack III
3:40 YES GIRL GET IT ✨☀️⭐️
Their voices returns me to 1950 NY
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!

I love the way they meet on the final note.
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!
that is one of the slickest things I've ever heard
This is scary good
Without question....the absolute BEST version of this song in existence. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC IN EVERY SINGLE REGARD!!!!!!!!!
How on earth did I JUST NOW stumble across you guys?! RUclips algorithms suck. I want more like this
Getting some serious "King Pleasure" vibes out of this one WOW!!
That was really cool. A conversation put to music. Great.
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.
On repeat for the last two weeks. No sign of this ending any time soon.
University of OWENS JR. Swinging and so tasteful drumming!
insane personnel on this one
Late to the party, but wow! So glad I found this!
Bro if isn’t one of the greatest things ive heard idk. Both have amazing voices!!
Wow! The real deal! Please God, let the numb public know about these fab artists!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic !!!!!
Great 21st Century update! Veronica and Ben put their own unique spin on this classic! A scat-singing, improv delight. Great "Moody's Mood" quote by Ben. Christian, Ulysses, and Takeshi on bass, drum and piano keep it swinging in the pocket.
Adorable, both. Virtuosic and joyful and perfectly in character. A revelation.
Wow , two of the greatest vocalists on the scene today together in the studio.And what a rhythm section.McBride is such a master.
Love this!!! Already transcribing it :)
can't wait to hear it!
Benny, and Veronica’s lyric runs are so Eddie Jefferson. So hip.
Incredibly!!!
Great. Some part of the song reminded me 'Moody's Mood For Love '
Christian McBride all day... Wow.
Can’t get enough of this. Every part of it is absolutely perfect and I can stop listening!
awesome.....100% pure swing juice
No one does this better than Veronica
Wonderful !!! I'm a big Swift fan. And now I'm so happy to discover another great singer: BENNY BENACK !!!!!
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 !)
Anita?
I get the Moody's Mood for Love vibe.... ❤
Straight to my pleasure center!
Keep replaying at 1:54 ahh perfection

Love Benny and Veronica. This arrangement is great and allows them to drive the music instead of the music arrangement boxing them in.
Absolutely gorgeous! Stumbled across this after the Jaq The trombone transcription. You guys are uber incredible! Your tone and clarity is just amazing!
I always seem to come back to this song whenever I have a little jazz phase again
Talk about pocket. BBIII always making Pittsburgh proud!
black and gold forever!
Just heard this on Real Jazz SXM and came here to hear it again. The pitch control is incredible!
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?
We love you Benny!
Oh yeah!!!!
Damnnn, that was good. 👌🍸👍🌹
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!
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!
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.
These people really grasp music to the core. BEAUTIFUL!
So beautiful to see Master Christian start off, Benny and Veronica flyting through this vocalese togehter. WOW, adorable! Wunderschön! as we Germans say.
:) thanks Sabine!
Benny this one is a home run, baby.
This performance puts this duo up there with Jackie and Roy.
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!
This video makes me want to see these two together VERY OFTEN. Love the improvs. So nice to hear!
Merci pour ce bon moment 🙂

Happy New Ear, Hear and Year (Yeah !) 🙂😉 And a big kiss to Veronica, one of my favorite new singers.
The two best young jazz singers today. The art of Vocalese ain't for the faint of heart 🤎
Awesome. I'm getting flashbacks of George Benson and Patti Austin singing Moody's Mood for Love.
Very very nice.
Fantastic!!.... Tottaly fantastic!!.... Nothing better... Wow!!!
I keep returning to this all the time. It's magical. Might be addicted.
Woooo! This is burnin! The groove is so locked in
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.

Mega Cool
