...saw the show when they came to Bakersfield(!). They had just flown in from Minneapolis that afternoon and must have been really beat. But they put on a great show. Disappointed that there was no merch table to say hi, I left for the parking lot and there was Bireli having a smoke. A real gentleman who had a minute for a fan and very warm....made my year.
Hi from "the other site of the globe" Poland near Ukraine border (40km as the crow fly). I met personaly Bireli at backstage of Krakow Filharmonia before the show. It was not oficial - I asked him to sign his first record (vinyl ofcourse) I bougt in Belgium many years ago. He was much surprised but it was a nice, warm moment. Its so good to see how he is evoluting in play and composing Polish regards
Bireli is in my opinion the best guitar player alive and probably the most uderrated. He is so a humble and such a genius. He played with the best in the world and always have time to talk to people.
There is high level playing and there is the highest. This is the latter. Bireli is a monster and the inspiration he is receiving from Martin is beautiful to see, and Martin from him as well. This is the most rarified of sessions and I am grateful for it.
Voilà la guitare de jazz que j’affectionne particulièrement avec deux guitaristes d’exception. Un grand merci messieurs et un grand merci à la chaîne pour l’agréable post 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Much better than when I saw them in Mission Viejo recently. Two contrasting players. Bireli a power house. Martin's sensibility. Yet they found the common ground. A lesson for us all.
Two of my favourite players ever, what a treat! Such different styles and yet an unbelievable synergy between these two legends. Does anyone know what guitar is Bireli playing please?
So judging by a lot of comments down below I‘m a cretin who is easy to impress but I feel these two are vibing hard and blending their individual styles perfectly while playing on the highest level. Maybe they are too successful making it seem effortless so some people confuse this with a lack of enthusiasm.
Taylor sounds stiff and stilted. His technique is not what it was. Bireli has so much more flow and the technique. But then he's 10 years younger, I guess it makes a difference.
These guys are two of the best guitar players on the planet. But them playing together is lacking something. Don't know what it is. But them as a duet doesn't work for me
Yes I play guitar. These guys are awesome. But I don't think they compliment each other if that makes sense. For straight ahead jazz. Martin is hard to beat. Birelli is on another level any type of music he plays. Still great listening but just not feeling the duet
Huge fan of Bireli but I thought the same thing. Uninteresting and lifeless. Great players for sure, but nothing moved me. Sorry if you read this Bireli. Not my kind of format or feel
@@StewbieDewbie Oh there's even a live set from last month of these 2 guys that was uploaded recently. Just type "Bireli Lagrene Martin Taylor" and it should come up, fantastic music. I was just saying that knowing both these guys' capabilities, this performance was pretty tame.
Etrange pour moi ce commentaire, car c'est vrai que parfois on entend de très bons guitaristes comme ceux-ci plutôt ressasser de vieilles idées mais en l'occurence j'ai justement trouvé qu'ici ils en ont trouvé beaucoup de nouvelles. Une autre dimension que j'ai particulièrement apprécié c'est qu'ils n'ont pas eu trop recours à la vitesse, la flambe ou les citations et d'avoir simplement pris le temps de respirer et de s'écouter. Ca serait qui, pour toi, un guitariste de jazz qui aurait plus de gniaque que ces deux là, par exemple? ...curieux d'entendre ça, moi. 🤔🙂
If, by doodling, you mean letting their inspiration take them wherever it might take them, isn't that one of the principles of jazz? I think it was in fact quite masterful to what extent they were able to wander while still managing not to get lost. Would you rather they had just played the themes and nothing else then? 🤔 Or maybe you mean that you're just not that into jazz in general and prefer other styles of music, which would, for me, better explain your comment.
@@nicknelson9450I’m just getting pickier in my older age when it comes to jazz improv. Also after becoming a “serious” social dancer I’ve become biased towards the great arrangements of big and medium sized bands that play swing, salsa, hustle and other social dance forms.

These guys sound great together. They both accompany well giving each other a nice background solo over. Inspirational!
Martin is not a showy player and Bireli can be when he wants but he's so beautifully restrained. A delight to hear these two greats together.
On top of 100 years of experience, talent, expression and taste, there is just the "knowing". Nothing else like it.

what a pleasure to listen these two top artists together
Smooth... like a smoothie with a spritz of 😎🔥👍
Entendre de la belle musique par de si bons musiciens c'est un enchantement...
Much better than when I saw them in Mission Viejo recently. Two contrasting players. Bireli a power house. Martin's sensibility. Yet they found the common ground. A lesson for us all.
2 brilliant musicians!🤩😎
Taylor's incredibly clean playing...
This is the best especially for guitar players,melody, harmony and rhythm
Amazing virtuosi, you are so good together.🤩
Bereli's using the thumb throughout was gorgeous, ala Jim Mullen and, of course, Wes.
Jim Mullen is a giant. Played w/ him a few times in London. Just heavenly.
Actually if you look carefully you will see him using a pick on the solo sections...
I didn’t know Jim mullin was with Gene Harris before Ron Eschete
Two masters of their instrument! Lovely!
So beautiful! Unbelievable comping and soloing ❤❤❤
sublime Martin and great to see you working with another French Jazz virtuoso hero.
what a BEAUTIFUL performance by these two masters.
just 👌
Swing'42 is too nice and funny!
Meraviglioso! Due grandi! Ascoltare loro si impara ad amare il jazz, gli standard ! Che gusto!!!
Qué grandes! cómo se entienden, un verdadero lenguaje bello e inspirador… gracias por compartir !
Biggest Duo in tour … ❤
Magnifico.👑👑👑👑👑👑
I love you both ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Two of my favourite players ever, what a treat! Such different styles and yet an unbelievable synergy between these two legends. Does anyone know what guitar is Bireli playing please?
I have seen Martin a few ocassion at the Stables in Wavenden. I can safely say he's a humble man but he has a great musical talent.
Yessssssssss
So judging by a lot of comments down below I‘m a cretin who is easy to impress but I feel these two are vibing hard and blending their individual styles perfectly while playing on the highest level.

Martin Taylor... some name for a guitar player huh! Just really missing TM next to each name LOL!!
I don't understand.
@@eastonpeter1242 learn about major guitar brands first, then you will understand it.
🎸🎸👑👑💪💪
Tytytytytytyty❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds good. -10DB on this. Still sounds good.
the music, the art is not for opponents!!!
“undisputed champions" ? Bireli in front, above and beyond !
Blunt
Burrelli's blonde L5 sounds better than those good guitars
Taylor sounds stiff and stilted. His technique is not what it was. Bireli has so much more flow and the technique. But then he's 10 years younger, I guess it makes a difference.
I beg to differ. To my ear he is like vintage wine. Gets better with age.
@cristavi53
Each to his own. I saw Taylor live 3 times in the '90s and he was very good, but I found this performance clunky and disappointing.
These guys are two of the best guitar players on the planet. But them playing together is lacking something. Don't know what it is. But them as a duet doesn't work for me
Are you the simon peter who plays the guitar?
I think i get you, it’s too safe but at the same time very good, easy listening, and tonz for vocabulary
Yes I play guitar. These guys are awesome. But I don't think they compliment each other if that makes sense. For straight ahead jazz. Martin is hard to beat. Birelli is on another level any type of music he plays. Still great listening but just not feeling the duet
😴😴😴🤭
I am sorry but those two togheter they do not blend properly it is not any offence because they are both virtuosi
I'm a fan, but they look and sound bored.
Huge fan of Bireli but I thought the same thing.
Uninteresting and lifeless. Great players for sure, but nothing moved me. Sorry if you read this Bireli. Not my kind of format or feel
Who cares ? 😂@@SPRoadmap
These guys are phenomenal, tell me what to listen to that is much better than this?

@@StewbieDewbie Joe pass, that's what the trying to sound like.
Des musiciens essoufflé 😢... quand i à plus la niac c'est triste .
Ben va ecouter zztop, le jazz c'est ptet pas ton truc...😂

Too much doodlin for my taste.

These guys may be doodling but at lrast they are doing on an actual tune or cord progression as opposed to am for 30 minutes ?
Amazing players but I would rather listen to paint dry than their totally boring song selection
Wow
