I've heard a lot of saxophone players play this, and I think Kirk Whalum and Richard Elliot are right at the top neck and neck. When they play it I Feel it and Is that Chuck Loeb on keys?....... I feel it all over! OoooooWeeeeee!
Europa was composed by the Great Carlos Santana back in 1970. Research Mr. Carlos Santana on guitar and Gato B. on tenor sax fantastic. JCB jazz musician.
I know Santana is a great composer says us both which his music speaks highly for him and you say it was Carlos Santana not Gato the master mind behind Europa. I see and hear Santana in some of Gato songs.That little episode Chuck Loeb and the keyboard man kind of up set me because I wanted see Chuck play.
Oh my God, just found this, I am just bawling my eyes out over the stupendous talent of Kirk with the one and only Chuck Loeb, just too much to realize Chuck is gone, this live version absolutely blows me away musically and emotionally, all love xoxo
Oh I just love this song so much. I know this is originally a Carlos Santana song, but Gato Barbieri straight-up owned it with his tenor sax, and the I think he would love this arrangement.
Just ran across this video by chance scrolling and Kirk is doing what he do Wailing! Great rendition!! #RIPGatoBarbieri, #RIPChuckLoeb @K.T.Jones, Thanks!
My preferences of versions are simply: guitar Carlos, keys Coster, sax Gato, violin Silverman. Thanks to anyone and everyone playing this masterpiece. Coster's 2 versions are spectacular and Gato's has always been the sexiest and owns it. Shout outs to the former Santana member who still plays the tune, Jules Broussard. We are still waiting for Whalum and Dulpher to release their versions. We are finding new versions everyday and glad it's being so recognized. It also worked well in the skating event at the Olympics.
Thank you JE for discovering this track. Awesome sound from a singer with a tenor sax. Making music from the belly of the Whalum. Jay Rowe on keys makes a lovely offering here.
What a perfect description - he really is an R&B singer who happens to sing through an instrument. He very much approaches with a singer's mentality, and it's a big part of what makes his playing so passionate and approachable by people who don't typically care for saxophone or anything jazz oriented.
Very proud to call you my mentor! Each time you blow that horn, you unearth a lot things in me. You're so much blessed sir! I have faith that one day we will blow side by side, together giving God the glory with Keil Werth horns.
This is Korea Seoul I give you a round of applause and support for your performance. Please stay healthy and upload a lot of good performances. You are the best.
Mr cancer you play from the heart and your passion goes deep into the ocean and i am feeling all of your waves when you play this song.Water is the strongest element and yes!! I am feeling you.You are truly the master of smooth jazz!!! and this song is intoxicating wow!! I am swimming deep!! thank you for sharing.
I have loved Kirk's music since I lived in Houston 35 years ago. It has been hard to find his music these days. I think that he plays mostly Christian music. Although I could be wrong. This is my favorite Gatto song. Kirk often reminded me of Gatto, who I also love.
Na minha opiniao dois monstro do tenor Greg vail e kirk Whalum, a interpretaçao do Greg ja é absurda e agora o Kirk, excepcionais, vc consegue ouvir muito coração saindo pelo sax.
Finally someone that plays it in the spirit of the iconic record Gato Barbieri. Beautiful rendition.
You need to hear Greg Veils version of it no one can top Europa like Greg!!
This is way more of the emotion that Gato had. This is the best I’ve heard since
Oh my God! This Brother Kirk truly has some God given talent with some serious skills! I love this man!
I've heard a lot of saxophone players play this, and I think Kirk Whalum and Richard Elliot are right at the top neck and neck. When they play it I Feel it and Is that Chuck Loeb on keys?....... I feel it all over! OoooooWeeeeee!
I agree with you 100%!
absolutely correct about that opinion and reforced by wonderful listeners such as ourselves
Linda Gibson Gbenedio Taylor, Chuck Loeb is on 🎸 guitar 😊
Go Kirk and the band . Europa is probably one of the most covered songs around. There is a reason
Nobody interprets melodies like Kirk Whalum.
What a tribute to the great Gato Barbieri. You have made his proud. Thank you.

It's Gato Barbieri compose this song..
@@terentiishevchenko8735 I know back in the 80!s I saw them in concert... two of my favorites
@@terentiishevchenko8735 No, it was Santana who composed it. Gato Barbieri simply made love to it. 🎶🎷
❤️ seen Gato live in concert 6 x. Yes 6
Oh my God, just found this, I am just bawling my eyes out over the stupendous talent of Kirk with the one and only Chuck Loeb, just too much to realize Chuck is gone, this live version absolutely blows me away musically and emotionally, all love xoxo

One of my all time favorites. Yet each artist places their impression on it. 🎷❤️
Oh I just love this song so much. I know this is originally a Carlos Santana song, but Gato Barbieri straight-up owned it with his tenor sax, and the I think he would love this arrangement.
He don't play with the mouth, play with the heart!!!! I love it!!!!!
Pablo Vargas that’s right!!
Masterful, soulful rendition by Kirk on this, wow... nailed it, beautiful.
Wow......Great job Kirk. This song is so soulful, Santana and Gato poured their heart into this song and now Kirk.
"Europa" such a sexy soulful sax arrangement to a beautiful song
This song was my favorite by The late great Gato.B...but Mr Whakum has his own sound to a great great song...💯❣...by far a favorite...

Thanks.
I will pay anything to see Kirk Whalum and Arturo Tappin in convert.
Na minha opiniao dois monstro do tenor Greg vail e kirk Whalum, a interpretaçao do Greg ja é absurda e agora o Kirk, excepcionais, vc consegue ouvir muito coração saindo pelo sax.
nothin' wrong with this soul-cat … a fitting tribute to gato's legacy. give 'em hell, kirk!
Excelllent pure Felder broder god bless you
Kirk proved that a hard rubber mouthpiece can deliver a metal sound. I did not know it was possible. WOW
I think is ebonite.
Great Kirk Whalum
Excellent
