this is probably the best rendition I've heard of this song in many, many years. The combination of Veronica Swift and Christ Botti is sheer brilliance. This young vocalist is well worth watching as her star rises.
This is more than a nice song. This is one of the great moments in recent jazz history, featuring a vocal superstar and a superb trumpet player and his ensemble. Chris Botti's concerts are always incredible.
Every year that passes on she gets better and better. Saw her first in 2018 at the Blue Note in NYC and her artistry has matured so much. God bless you, Veronica.
Just left Chris’s concert with Veronica and other guests OMG!!! Words do not describe how FANTASTIC this concert was!! Before going I thought it would be too much trumpet for me but no , the show was multi dimensional . Just FANTASTIC!
You must have been at show in Galveston like me ! She really blew me away! Yes the whole show was very diversified! Not all Botti who was so generous to his guest artists !!
Were you paid to write that? Otherwise hard to really comprehend. Are you a musicologist that we are unaware of? Besides being a truly “ unique “ opinion- it might be a mild disservice to all the? Hundreds of truly brilliant singers who she seems to have assiduously and honorably studied and borrowed from. Nice rendition. Band supported her carefully with intention.
Extra ! Magnifique ! Chanteuse d’exception parmi les grandes du Jazz ! …..Ella …..Sarah …..et les musiciens..! Merci pour ce beau moment !🇫🇷👍🇫🇷❤️🇫🇷👍❤️🇫🇷👍❤️🇫🇷👍❤️🇫🇷👍❤️🇫🇷👍❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Chris Botti est régulièrement accompagné de très belles femmes avec soit une belle voix soit un violon exceptionnel. Le duo est généralement magnifique.
She's the best in town right now. I missed her when she sang in Marciac festival in South of France, tickets sold before I had a chance. The godd fairies Ella, Billie and Sarah watched over this beautiful soul
What about my absolute favourite.... Anita Oday... to me, she's the quintessential jazz vocalist. That special voice with her unique interpretation of every song, that if I'd listened to her, with eyes closed, I would've thought, that a new instrument, had been invented, because of that voice, that fitted in so well, with the musicians. But.... that was THEN.... that era. This lovely young singer, is the new now.
As much as I adore Anita O'Day's swinging & witty interpretations of standards and am consistently blown away by the subtle soul of Lady Day, Veronica Swift is really something else! I actually feel Chris Botti did her a disservice by comparing her to them. Veronica's ear & command of her vocal gifts to deliver breathtaking unique performances of timeless lyrics & melodies is a marvel. Hope everyone here buys her latest album as of 2021, This Bitter Earth. I betcha you won't regret the purchase!
Actually we shouldn't be comparing. Unfair. All in their own particular class. This girl is good. But performance not short of shortcomings. Not much clarity on those higher notes. What do we do next? Compare her to Ella? Please no!
Some people like Billie and Anita are song stylists , their voices have limitations but they find a way to create beauty . Ella and Dinah had chops. They could do everything!! Why are we comparing such great vocalists ?? Just listen to who you like to listen to. They are all great and we should be very grateful that we have a Veronica Swift and a Samara Joy to listen to in this day and age.
OHH VERONICA ! About 20 times i watched her performances ,and she perfected the voice to become another rainbow of tunes , mamma mia , ragazza , beautiful girl she puts the seal of what jazz is all about ! It is about time to bring Veronica on a complete concert surrounded by all the greatest that had invited her to their shows ! 100 times thank you Veronica , you are wonderful professional !
Chris, Thank you for the great concert today in San Diego/Escondido! We really enjoyed every member of the orchestra, wonderful singers and amazing you! 😍
Damn!! She's Great in more than 1 way😊!! I'm a retired fish pathologist, and very active as a freelance, science & outdoor writer. And presently a fishing guide (in the supernaturally-beautiful Pacific Northwest)!! My clients and I target 4 species of pacific salmon + Steelhead ( a large Sea-going rainbow trout), Resident rainbow trout, Brown trout and Char species (Dolly Varden/Bull trout, Brook trout), in the supernaturally-beautiful Pacific Northwest!! And I'd guide for free anyday😉.
Fantastic everybody!... But can I point something out? Taylor Eigsti on Piano & Joey De Francesco (RIP) on Organ... Two incredible monsters of their instrument in perfect sync.
Veronica Swift is a national treasure, she is the perfect singer and she is the highest echelon of jazz vocalists. I just wish Jack Sheldon or Chet Baker was in Botti’s spot. I don’t dig Botti’s over engineered sound. And I am not a fan of his choice of notes. It is very acceptable but Jack and Chet pulled notes down from the heavens!! Very hard to compete with that. Both of them are missed. What a breath of fresh air Veronica is.
Really, "National Treasure". ... Never heard of her until this "presented" on my UA-cam algorithm. Still, the performance is ok... but not "National Treasure" caliber... sorry, it's just average.... Of course, Chris Botti "carries the day" ... as always... as always..

Stellar rendition. Veronica has a range & depth rarely found in any vocalist. That blond kid on the horn is pretty good, too.
i don't understand the context but this is still funny
She can’t be real, protect her at all costs ❤
4:38 The slide to her falsetto gives me goosebumps. The amount of control she has over the dynamics is incredible
Yes!
Again, she's awesome...
This is more than a nice song. This is one of the great moments in recent jazz history, featuring a vocal superstar and a superb trumpet player and his ensemble. Chris Botti's concerts are always incredible.
Her Lifetime Achievement Award will be quite a show. Damn shame I won't be around for it.
Every year that passes on she gets better and better. Saw her first in 2018 at the Blue Note in NYC and her artistry has matured so much. God bless you, Veronica.
Veronica's ability to hit the notes right in the middle is amazing!

@@penelopelinton7261 Lol Yes Penelope thats the one!! We are lucky to get to them all at such a great venue ..
Veronica has to be one of the greatest jazz vocalists ever!!!
Totally !!!

That's a BIG statement.
@@golds04 Until someone better comes along.
Wow, first time I listened to her. She is amazing.
Now I have tot do my make-up all over again....in tears over this stunning performance by the new queen of jazz...Veronica Swift. Love you!
Don't ever wear makeup if you're watching her again. 😜🥳

Veronica is fantastic, she reminds me of Ella. But
Chris Botti is something else! A must video to listen to!
IT CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS...RARE SINGING AND RARE PLAYING!!!
Chris Botti est régulièrement accompagné de très belles femmes avec soit une belle voix soit un violon exceptionnel. Le duo est généralement magnifique.
God she has perfect pitch. Clear as a bell like Dinah Washington.
She's good, but no one is as great as Ella singing this song.
@@BarbarahR Shes actually technically better than Ella F. Its just that we prefer Ella like our First love.
Not an easy song to sing. Absolutely flawless interpretation. Gorgeous.
Veronica is a phenom. Saw her live once - what a treasure.

effortless. the way these songs are meant to be sung.
I would like to embrace Veronica as would many for her being such an excellent vocalist! We need good singers and musicians now more than ever.
What a voice, this is pure romance, jazz the way it’s supposed to be sung, and that trumpet sweet lord.
A real Jazz singer, just fell in love
This young lady is the complete package she is fenomenal
😊
That was so legit! Can't believe I haven't heard of Veronica until now.
i have no adjectives to describe what i just saw and heard.
Now that is singing jazz! Love it! What a team. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕Chris you are so good at what you do. The best!
Beautiful rendition of a classic song, made even better by Botti’s excellent trumpet music.
Wonderful Voice! 💎💎💎💎💎
Beautiful for you dear.❤..
what a singer!!
I knew she'd be a huge success when I saw her a few years ago at the LA Jazz Festival.
just cant belive such great musos
Billie Holiday you have that right Chris!!! The blend is flawless!!! WOW!!!
The Song Is a masterpiece, obviously, but She could this the phonebook and make It unforgettable...
Superb Veronica & Chris !
Veronica Swift wow nice voice i love how Botti play his trumpet
Fantástico Chris Botti e seu conjunto como da super talentosa Verônica Swift. Da nova geração americana, ela é uma grande revelação. 👏👏👏👏👏🌷
BRAVOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Veronica's vocal skills would be sufficient to place her in the top jazz female vocalists. But she has the magic, too... That's talent !
Incredible performance by all musicians... but shout out to the live engineer! The sound production is incredible... blown away!
Yes Chris, can't help but think of Anita O'Day when I hear her.
Wow
Just gorgeous.....
Yeah Chris and Victoria!! Emotion and lots of good taste. Both. Longing to sing with you one day. Would be a dream!
She is a stunning singer Bodie is right it's Anita O'Day brought back from the 40s
Timeless
She took the song for herself ! bravo !
True to her own voice, and what a great voice! Chris continues to climb to the stars! Wow!
I watched this and it gave me an inexpressible peace inside! Thanks for it
She’s great!
Perfect voice and perfect trumpet - I have never heard Chris Botti crack a note yet - unreal playing.

Absolutely amazing.. If it looks like Joey Defrancesco at the organ it has to be him.

Check out "You Again" by Veronica. Great.
Gold Standard!

Your comment sums up exactly what I was going to say. He’s good, he’s very good in fact, he’s just not Chet!

@@stevenlevin7235 Go back to your Taylor Swift world and stay away from jazz. You have no idea what you are talking about.
@@tomchojnowski9215 sorry, I've just never heard of her. And I have no interest in Taylor Swift either...
Always love Chet.His sound was so achy,melancholy while wearing his heart boldly.Loved his sensuous singing too.
