- This is what friends are for.... I am so grateful to my old mates Julian and Don for all the lessons learnt over the years.... life is music
Julian has been blind since birth - what he can't do on a piano though. He hadn't played for quite some years since his stroke so it was a pleasure to visit and take a keyboard and once again watch those hands on the keys.
If my body fails, if my mind goes... may the music remain.
Music is the very last thing to go. Thats because it engages every facet of our beings.
and amen 🙌🏻
This made me cry. I remember them all at their peak. They were and still are amazing.
This made me get my horn out after decades of not playing.
Same!
Какой ещё рог? 😮
RIP Don Burrows ... today are your playing music with the Angels!
Steve O I just found out he passed away I was wondering about Julian and found out Don passed away :( rip
I came here to look for them as this video is going viral on social media. Fly with the angels 🙏✝️
He's not even looking at the keys. That's how deep the music is in his heart.
thats because hes blind and hes been blind since birth
He’s blind
One of the best videos I’ve seen! We need more things like this! Things that show the human spirit at it’s best!!!
Still one of the most wholesome videos I've seen on the internet.
O the joy! My darling Mum has Alzheimers and every week I sing all these gorgeous old standards. I thank her for my love of jazz and beautiful music. Just me and my little old ukulele and any of the residents who gather around. I'm so grateful to her....Life IS Music!
Bless you :)
Beautifully said ❤️
Don't anyone dare give this a thumbs down.
Who in the hell gave this a dislike
Some loser probably out of spite cause of this comment
Jinxed it
Mad people
I’m only 24 but I can feel the music in my bones it’s weird but this video makes me feel like I belong in older times....
Julian lee what a man...
Magical.
All we need is love.Thanks James, you are a inspiration for all of us
I was on an American acoustic guitar site and they used this clip as an example of how inspirational and therapeutic music can be. Thanks James for letting these legends know that they are internationally loved & respected for all time, as are you.
My wife and I are lucky to live not far from Julian and his lovely wife Val.
Our friendship actually began just before the tragic crippiling stroke that put an end to his playing. That is until this particular visit by two of his long-time friends and fellow leading musicians.
I am so grateful that this moment was captured on video.
Witnessing Julian accompanying James’ tender rendition of ’Nearness of You’ coupled with the absolute exhilaration expressed on Don Burrows’ face, was for me a perfect joy, not to mention a bit eye-misting.
that's what friends are for!!!
Excelent!!
How awesomely fortunate have Australian young people been to experience Don Burrows' inspiration, enthusiasm, professionalism, generosity and graciousness. As community arts facilitator and coordinator of arts program as a teacher at Euroa Secondary College in Vic, and I was so surprised when Don agreed to come and visit our young musicians. We were a very small country school, and cultural opportunities of high value were rare. I thought it would cost the earth, but Don said he would come for free, he had recently been honoured with the Australian Arts Fellowship. @donburrows
We had just completed the building of a beautiful mud brick hexagonal music room, a bicentennial project, with lead light windows, when Don and Gorge Golla [@georgegolla] entered to a waiting crowd of music enthusiasts. Few had any idea what they were in for, few knew what jazz was, some were taking up an instrument for the first time, because their parents had an inkling that there was something about to happen, something very special they wanted their children to experience. Some parents knew of Don from his long running television Jazz show.
Don strolled in with two or three horns, and unpacked his flute (maybe it was the clarinet) - looked up at the colouful landscape glass (with 5 black wavering black lead bars in a continuous stave) and played our windows - 'Advance Australia Fair' - with swing - and did it swing.
He and George workshopped our young students, put them through the rigour of learning music, and the joys of the sound they could make under his guidance. Large concert band sessions, small group tuition, teacher professional development, and eventually presented a concert - @Bob Sedergreen, @Sonja Horbelt and @Annette Jenko Yates supported him, pulling the student mix into a credible public performance.
He stayed about a week the first time, and to our delight said he wanted to come back for 3 years, not just be a flash in the pan sort of experience, but to help the students and the music program grow. Each time the experience was so extraordinarily rich, and each time the students learnt more tunes, more skills, more music pedagogy, more about actually listening to their own voice through their instruments, and listening to each other, and supporting their friends, to make it musically safe if they went out on a limb to improvise.
And more music discipline - Don didn't compromise - he laughed a lot, but behind that joviality was the serious message that it take a lot of dedication and hard work - to become a musician, and to present music to the public. Most of all they heard, many for the first time ever, what it was to absolutely swing music.
@Kevin Hunt joined him after George retired from touring schools. Don reached about 400 students one year when we hosted the annual band 'camp' - a one day camp of music workshops with many pros. from Melbourne. Students bussed in from Talangatta - 80Km away, up in the high country, Mansfield, Year, Alexandra, Seymour, Kilmore, Broadford, Shepparton, Mooroopna, Benalla and Wangaratta - a total of about 400 square km . And the night time concert was a hoot, if somewhat logistically challenging. He even presented an exhibition of about 80 framed photographs he had taken over the ears. What an amazing musical experience. (couldn't be done in today's economic rationalistic climate!!! -the organisation of it took imagination, team work, cooperation and risk taking - talk about high quality teaching and learning!!!) Did it lead to any long term musical talent - you betcha. more importantly, it was an extraordinary high quality musical experience for a whole community. VALE DON BURROWS

How absolutely beautiful...pure and true..Don Burrows played with my dad..years ago..or, my dad played with Don..years ago...I adored Don then..I adore him now..and always will.
I love most forms of music but this type of slow jazz is by far my favorite. Only downside i quickly run out of tissues from all the crying.
Thats so wunderful and precious. Thx a bunch James.

Sweet to my ears and soul.
An awesome case that illustrates that most musicality is in the right brain.
AMAZING! Music is the key of his soul, it's works like a magic!
Came across this video and was moved watching him play the piano. I found myself crying. This was great.
This a reminder that our time is finite
This is wonderful. Very special.
Three of the nicest blokes in the business.

How absolutely heartwarming
This is love of the music! Amazing
So nice
Dunno how I stumbled on this particular video, but how beautiful. My heart ❤️ lovely to see this ☺️ one of my favorite standards.
I am barely almost 61 years old on this 28th day of March in 2021 and have been trying and starting hoping to learn to play the piano. And this helps me very much
You THREE are Champions Remember Fondly all those gigs at the Don Burrows Supper Club down at the Quay even chatted to Julian a couple of times was informed he did the String Arrangements on the INCOMPARABLE Brazilian Album with George Golla & the Don et alia...alas my singing trashed any hope of entrance into the fledgling Burrows Jazz Conservatory
Wow, thanks Stew for sending me her. Legend.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son (Jesus Christ) that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 🙏✝️
La música es una escalera que creo Dios para poder adorarlo en un abrazo de melodías, Gracias Jesus
You're a saint for having the skill and the heart to help the man do what he knows and loves. The look on his face at the end was priceless. Beautiful moment Mr. Morrison. I sure hope I can hear you live one day.
Beautiful and very touching video. The body may fail but the music lives on.
this is what it's all about. Beautiful!
Amazing I can only cry
I;m with you Jennifer, I can only cry. Knowing the artistry of these 3 men and having heard them live so many times, has been a plegeledge. Julia died Dec 2 2020 in the early hours. God bless him and God bless New Zealand for helping to bring Julian into this world.
Absolutely superb!!!~
The amount of emotion in those last 5 chords
A beautiful life moment captured and shared, for us all to unite through. A life of individual experiences... connected without explanation.
James Morrison playing in two different keys at the same time (left hand in Eb and flugelhorn in F, unless it's a rare one in C?) ! Impressive !

That guy on the trumpet though man. Come over to my house
Ke hermosura....
When 2 mins and 15 sec feels like infinity
Это невероятно круто! ❤ Привет из Москвы, мне 35!
Is that Julian's home in Artarmon? Some ABC mates told me they helped set up Julian's recording gear and eliminate interference from the nearby electric trains.
Can someone please remind me the name of this tune please?
the nearness of you
The nearness of you.
Can someone provide the name of a recording of the song they’re covering? Closest version to this with a horn as well taking the lead
The nearness of you
How long would it take for a beginner to play the trumpet like in a soft manner like that??
David Lisboa i wanted to know too
afro I want to buy a trumpet to start, but I don’t want to torture my neighbors too much lol..😉😁
There’s a question.... I’d say get a trumpet and some lessons and it’s up to you.... I’ve been playing guitar for 40+ years and I’m still beginning every day..... as far as “like this” goes, he’s a master eh? However this is the star we’re aiming for, if you follow me.
Pete House I know.. I play acoustic guitar and bass, but for the bass I have an attachment that I can plug my head phones to it and no one can hear but me lol... now.. a trumpet 🎺..😬... that will be hard to keep my neighbors sane lol... to make it sound, a beginner will have to make quite a bit of effort. Lol... that was my only question lol
Without a doubt they are all masters ❤️❤️❤️...
okarar peterson😢
Laura Tingle brought me here. And I thank her.
What is the name of this beautiful song?
The Nearness of You!
