esbjörn svensson…what a great loss to the jazz world. God rest his soul.

[martinsatelier]

Michael Brecker's solo....OMG. So Tastefull!

[surfsouthaustralia]

Svensson's solo took me to another place.

[PabloVestory]

I don't know if is only me, (sure is not) but this performance in particular deserves a place in jazz Olympus. The groove, the dynamics, the voice, the improvisations, the team efort, Brecker... it has it all, Pure and Moving Magic. They pretty much play "in the pocket", "straightforward"... whatever, but i think that this really adds in this case.

[Ankiazuza]

Pat Metheny has become synonymous to greats like Quincy Jones

[PosauneundPapier]

After Metheny's incredible solo, I just wasn't sure if Landgren could match it. Proved me wrong! :D

[PabloVestory]

A little detail that speaks about the jam spirit of this take, and about the tremendous artistic expertice and humbleness of Michael Brecker: before starting his solo, he waits a little and observes, just in case anyone decides to play there, and only then he calmly starts to build and incredibly beautiful round solo. 2:18 Miss you, Mike

[budgiespat]

Michael Brecker and Esbjörn Svensson will live forever with performances like this .... Pat Metheney, Nils Landgrean & friends have made the spirit of JAZZBALTICA survive all odds .... could go on and listen forever

Uluitor acest clip. Absolut toti cei care performeaza sunt muzicieni desavarsiti care au redat exact tema si spiritul temei. Magnific soloul lui Pat care iata reda la chitara folosind tehnica toate nuantele sax tenor, inclisiv pauzaele de respirat. Uluitor.

Por gente como esta es que el mundo tiene una oportunidad, si no nos salva la musica nada lo hara, esto es algo increíble de escuchar una maravilla para los oidos pero sobre todo para el alma .

[markkubiak]

The tremendous trombone solo and then the sensitive and nuanced voice!! Wow!!

[nacienlos]

One of my dreams is to see Metheny and Benson playing a blues toguether, so different approaches, such perfect timings. How come they have never collaborated?

[kevintownsend]

This guy's voice is like silky smooth, , and Brecker is his usual amazing self and well Pat is a virtuoso as well.

[williamknell]

Whoa.
New favorite version of this song.
Just amazing.

[tiluriso]

Wow! Listen to that Major 3rd Esbjörn Svensson is hitting @ 5:58-59! A Major Third over a minor tonic! But listen how he does it with rhythmic clarity/conviction, repeats it, 'turning a wrong into right'.

[kevinmanns]

One of the very best Jazz ensemble performances I've ever seen and heard. Staggering ability from all involved !!

[guitarvoicebynight]

Wonderful version, Svensson's solo has an incredible tension...suspended from the beginning until its end.

[marthagrinnan]

An incredible song by Leon Russell. Great jazz arrangement by Metheny and Friends. Love the piano solo!

[Mama-Ames]

God certainly knew what he was doing when he created these talented men!!! I love them ALL!!! But I have NEVER heard ANYONE play a trombone like THAT!!!

[joanguillemponsmarroquin]

The best verssion, sublime, master piece, never tired
