Who could dislike this--a flawless performance by three great musicians. There's always one dipstick who can't hear perfection if it screamed in his ear.
Grandioso. Uno dei migliori esempi di trio jazz. Perfetto interplay, senso della melodia e dello swing. Musicisti con una storia personale ed una classe ben superiori alla media.
He's definitely my favorite bass player. I've never heard anyone else who could sound this way, there are legions of players where I can hear only the attack and no sound after. But when I listen to him, I finally know that bass can sound and make a real music melodies.
Tommy Flanagan, OMG! Funny, he doesn't take a lot of chances with harmony or rhythm but his voicings are so charming and lovely. He's very good at varying his style so he never appears repetitive and he's always interesting. This guy and Kenny Drew are the two best I know of, right now. Benny Green emulates both of them too.
Mraz's soloing is so clear he's not just diddling around on the neck he's playing exactly what he wants to play, I could listen to him solo by himself for hours and that's not something you can say for most bass players when it comes to soloing, even the most of the greats. The only other person I can think of that has such melodic wonderful solos is Eddie Gomez
For lovers of this tune / Alternate version of this arrangement now posted on my site: Lewis Nash - drums, Peter Washington - bass, Renee Rosnes - piano, Jimmy Greene - tenor and soprano saxophone, Jeremy Pelt - trumpet and flugelhorn
RIP George Mraz Such a loss to jazz.
Flanagan and Mraz ... magic!
very nice trio this tommy is a legend lewis is class and george mraz is one of the top bass men in the world.great combination.many thanks.
この富士通コンコードフェス、しかもこの動画の公演をナマで聴きました。1991年でしたから、もう24年にもなるんですね～。トミフラのトリオの他、J.J.ジョンソン、スコット・ハミルトン、バディ・デフランコ、ミルト・ジャクソン、バーニー・ケッセルといったトップアーティスト達のステージを一夜で堪能できて満足したのを憶えています。私はベース派なのでベーシストに特に注目していました。ムラーツの他、デニス・アーウィン、キーター・ベッツ、ジョン・クレイトン、デイブ・ヤングといったベーシストが参加していましたが、ムラーツの出来が圧倒的でした。トミー・フラナガンも私の大のお気に入りのピアニストです。
Yes
You're right mate.

Wow! Just discovered Mraz....my world is more beautiful. Thanks for posting .
Que maravilha !!! Elegâcia !! Perfeita execução !!!!
4:20...Flanagan quotes lullaby of the leaves....Mraz continues it. So smooth and sweet this communication.
Favorite Upright Bass Player! - A Phenom.
George is a monster, was lucky to see him live half a dozen times or so when I was living in NYC.
Magnifico trio tremendo contratista George Mraz!!
Un poco de aquellas tardes. Tres grandes, por siempre.

Wow 😮very nice
The perfect balance
이 사람보고 있으면 리듬감이 절로 느껴짐. 강약이 제대로 표현됨. 그러면서도 물 흐르듯. 미쳤다...

Mraz' solo is fantastic! these guys hit the afterburners at the 8:50 mark or so.
Awesome!!!
Molto bravo Mraz
Brilliant!
I can tell by your Avatar Qusomiso, we have a lot in common! Thanks for the video... Good stuff.
His first instrument was the violin. George can also play Bach pieces on the piano. Ears! :-)
Quoted Nica's Dream.
4 48 everylittlebreezeseemstowhipserlouise. most quoted quote of all time
genial e eterno
Badass bass solo - and while we're mentioning quotes, did anyone else notice Birks' Works during the drum tradeoffs at 7:20 ?
Of course, very nice how he slipped that in there. Tommy is an expert at weaving his songs into stories that carry you on a happy journey

The quote after the bass solo is Manteca.
Che mostri!
Tasty pianist like Hank Jones.
Tommy Flanagan was in the same league as Hank Jones.
Is there more footage of the concert available ?👏🏻🙏🏼💕🌸
Nejvic!!!
@holynight758 love this one, but still think Oscar's is the best.
7:04 lol Manteca
it doesn't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
5* drummer !
Too bad they can't swing.
@Louis Reyna You do know that was a joke, right?
