Twenty seven years before this was recorded I played in a band with Rick Jackson, and he was just as phenomenal then as he is here. He is a man with incredible talent and no musician I've ever met deserves recognition and success more than he.
I found a version of this about eight years ago with James Burton, Amos Garrett, Albert Lee, and a Canadian gentleman. Pretty dog gone rad version!! I recently ran on to this one- tantamount to, “Warp Factor Five, Mr. Sulu.”
I must have herd this video for at least 50 times. Larry Carlton seems really inspired and all musicians are playing really good, not at least the drummer, Moyes Lucas. I wish someone would load some more videos from this concert, than the three available, at the present. Soeren. Dk.
Yeow! What a GREAT video. It would have been so great to be there live. All the solos were great, but for me, I liked the keyboardist best. VERY nice chops and ideas.
These are great musicians loving the great music they make---nice, sweet, jazz, with ALL OFTHE INSTRUMENTS PROMINENT AND CLEARLY HEARD! I think they are awesome! BobbyK sorry for caps--they got put on by accident Anyway, this band plays great music that is very technical--especially the awesome guiyar polaying!
Funny I was messing with this progression, no where on this level, just the other day and kept asking myself where did this come from. It sounded like an old jazz standard, but did not know which. Now I do. Larry has always been my hero and after all these years of playing I am finally taking some lessons to learn the type voicings it takes to play these tunes. after 40 years of playing the learning never stops.
Larry pulls off playing a jazz oriented song with a tele! Of course he has the bass up on it, but it still sounds great! it cuts through the background accompaniment easily!
Are You Shitting Me I nearly Crapped my Pants This is Fuckin Awesome These cats are on Fire This Drummer Is One of the Greatest Ive seen or Heard in a long Time Being a Drummer over 50 years you get to know things as this and this cat is KILLER
Both the bass player Chris (RIP),, and the drummer, Moyes are frikken awesome........................ OUCH!!! But who else would Larry want backing him up, but the BEST,,, of the BEST!
This performance shows that it's not the instrument but the person that makes the tone. Larry Carlton is known for playing a Gibson ES 335 guitar, but makes a Telecaster sound like he is known to sound. Too many of us are searching for the tone, but it's already in our hands. This band is wonderful!
@veeoleary I'd still have identified that as a telecaster sight unseen (I've played both). The tele is a solid block of hard timber, so you get a pure string tone. The 335 has a hollow structure which contributes something else to the final sound, probably a mellower tone. All this assumes that the amp is giving a faithful reproduction of the instrument's original sound, of course, with no coloration (a big assumption).
marbleflat - - I was just saying, this sounds like a Gibson 335, A slight of hand by Larry Carlton. Great song. Great, catchy composition. The musicians are really good. AND you can tell THEY ALL LOVE PLAYING TOGETHER. That little teeny tiny last part is not so common.
I agree the tone is in the fingers. But the telecaster is and always will be the most versatile guitar because it can sound how you want it to sound. Telecaster is just straight up a jazz guitar. :D
Actually, Larry will use tele's and strats for their ability to cut through the accompanying instruments, these guitars are the only types that can sing and make it through with the highs of the keyboards and not be muddy. He is quoted as saying this in some older guitar player mags.
While I agree that touch and playing style can dramatically effect tone, the right amp with the right settings can also darken the tone of a Tele. Larry has had numerous custom Dumble amps made. Honestly, the 335 sounds fuller. Larry definitely tones down the brightness of the Tele with lower tone setting and using primarily the neck pickup.
A Tele is pretty cool for jazz anyway. It doesn;t sound anything like an ES355. It just sounds like a tele with less than normal twang. People who think a fat F-holes guitar is the only instrument for playing jazz guitar need to listen to Carlton. Jeff Beck does it for me but Larry is a very fine player too. He really shows his chops well on this one!
Presumably this was performed as a tribute to Zachary Breaux who died in this year trying to save a drowning swimmer whilst on holiday in Miami. I don't know much about Larry but maybe he switched guitar to get the jazz sound he needed for the tribute.
Has anyone else noticed that in all the videos of this concert you occasionally hear a man speaking? I don't think it's Larry, because one of the times his face was in the picture.
the tele has definitely been turned down here - it's naturally a very bright guitar - very trebley so you have turn down the top end if you want a jazzish sound
Larry Carlton,,,,,where would we be without him??????????
this is like a fucking dream team of musicians
That's what I love about jazz. Everybody gets a chance to solo!
These guys are just smoking on one of my favorite tunes.
This is beautiful. *happy sigh*

Excellent, Larry and the drummer are "running" side by side in race to the top....and we're the better for it !!!!
Fantastic arrangement and some very talented players . . What a treat !

The composer of this song, music legend....bassist...Ben Tucker recently died in a vehicular accident at age 83. RIP, my friend!
Wow! So much talent on that stage!!
Yeow! What a GREAT video. It would have been so great to be there live.
All the solos were great, but for me, I liked the keyboardist best. VERY nice chops and ideas.
Carlton used to play this in his teens when he was in the surf band Eddie & the Showmen. Fantastic take on Ben Tucker's classic.
Lovely . Hasnt been bettered really, because it speaks to the heart and ticks all the other boxes
Chris Kent the hottest bassist in Nashville,God bless him as he fights his battle with cancer.

I love the way L C just settles back on his hip and clears his jacket ......and then burns the fret.

Proof that you can get a nice thick Humbucker like tone out of a Tele if you just roll your tone back a little.

I'm seriously worried for the 31 who dislike THIS.
Mel Torme has a different speed on it, both excellent.

The guitar is on fire! Get a fire extinguisher on that piano before the stage burns down!
ラリーカールトンてすごいですよね。
私にとってディアン・オールマンに次ぐ存在かもしれません。
ca c'est du bon jazz music
Has anyone else noticed that in all the videos of this concert you occasionally hear a man speaking? I don't think it's Larry, because one of the times his face was in the picture.
nothing beats a blackguard tele.
Rrico temita weno pa tocars😊
bienvenida...
And on a Telecaster to boot.
@bobjazz11 In that case, congrats on the sound quality!
At 1:05 he takes it to a whole. notha. level.
the tele has definitely been turned down here - it's naturally a very bright guitar - very trebley so you have turn down the top end if you want a jazzish sound
👍🏽x100
Chris Kent ;-) You need a B3 Great Playing !!!
ALFACAR54 yes yes this is it c'mon JAZZERS
WHO ELSE SOUNDS LIKE THIS,,,,,,? 8^)
and some say that the neck pickup on a Telecaster is useless...
Sssssmokin'!

@GryptpypeThynne
It's a bootleg :-)

Carlton is retuning when yu hear the voice. At around 4:05 - really nothing unusual to hear a comment among musicians during a tune.
