@@markfrankel4247 Ted's dead. Jimmy may not be the greatest but he is one of the last of his generation that played with and knew personally the legends and he's a treasure for that alone.

@@anthonyshaw8698I think he had a bad fall or maybe a stroke in the last couple of years. He doesn't play like this anymore but he's still a good listen for his hot takes on life and music
@@jameswebb4593 "chord melody" Chord melody is a guitar style of playing. Its a rendition from the great composers version. Saying Clifford Brown (the composer) did a good job at it is a rude and ignorant comment and just stirring the pot. We don't need internet trolls on jazz. it's already an unpopular music and hard enough to make a living. Keep the negativity to yourself.
@@JustinRothberg All jazz musicians use the songs chords to improvise on . The most famous for modernists is Cherokee , The ignorance is all yours . I have been listening too and buying jazz recordings for 65 years Including Coltranes Giant Steps when it was firstly issued , And I do not need a knownothing jerk like you telling me about how Jazz has reached rock bottom , entirely due to Free Form that dismisses chord progression. Jimmy Brubo's rendition of the piece is exceptional , but so is Roland Kirks.
@@jameswebb4593 you’re missing the point. I’m a jazz guitarist for the past 25yrs. Are you? I’m wasting my rime explaining this to you. A chord melody in jazz guitar is not an arpeggiated solo played by a trumpet. Everybody knows Cherokee. You’re not enlightening anyone here. Clifford brown is one of the most famous and best jazz trumpet players to ever live. Comparing his original recording of joy spring on trumpet to a cover of it on guitar makes no sense. ESPECIALLY when we’re not even doing that. I’m referring To a chord melody. Which weather you believe it or not is a technique used on jazz guitar to play a melody with chords at the same time. You’re not understanding this. And oh yeah. Stop being a jerk on the internet.
@@JustinRothberg Read your own post. Nowhere do you mention Guitar , just a sweeping statement about chord progressions and the ability to swing, Which is bullshit.
Okay what is the difference between a Rock guitarist and a Jazz guitarist? A Rock guitarist plays three chords in front of thousands of people and a Jazz guitarist plays thousands of chords in front of three people! 😂😂😂😂🎸🎸 I love the way these musicians sound!
There is no “best” but he’s definitely a great..Pass, George Benson, Wes, George Barnes, Barney Kessel are definitely all greats with the highest caliber playing
A typical display of music ignorance. Listening to popular music will make you like that. Jazz approaches melody in a different way, there are many that could educate you. Time to go back to school and learn
One of the only great OGs left
Jimmy is my favourite, his version of Giant Steps is just insanely good
Since there's no description, I thought I'd add that the tune is "Joy Spring". Just in case someones needs to know.
No i didn't need to know, but i'd like to thank you, because its people like you who make this world a nicer place to live.
He is the greatest living jazz guitarist in my humble opinion.
Lee Fowler he certainly is. If not the greatest of all time
Ya.. and he was the main force in getting Pat Martino into relearning the guitar after his brain aneurysm that left Pat in total unrecall of the guitar. Jimmy is a killer in so many styles..total,total command of his instument.
lol... just lol...

John McLaughlin
This is jazz on fire.
I love how most people also miss stating the fact that he had sever carpal tunnel and a heart condition at the time and still played like that
This brings back memories. Seeing Jimmy play on that Benedetto 7 string and just flat out rip is what got me into Jazz.
That duo could swing u into bad health what a great inspiration
Probably the best bowed upright bass solo I've heard in ages!
It’s so hard to play bass that way.
As a retired bass player myself I totally agree !! These two NAIL it !!
The bass player is Jeff Pedraz. Originally from Philly, he lives in Detroit now.
Jimmy is a force of nature. Bass reminds me of Slam Stewart. Now let's play it again!
One hell of a bassist!
Jimmy, your playing has everything I wanted to be as a Jazz Guitarist!
I have to come back to this video to get me through work. God bless you Jimmy Bruno and Your family!

Some of the best live JB I’ve heard. He’s on fire here!
WOW total mastery.
Jimmy Bruno is on fire, but then his bass player steps up to the plate with the bow...
yes indeed he does!
Only need one word, Superb!!!!!
Incredible!!!!
Bassist is awesome!
I'm a 80s hair band rocker and guitar player. This guy kicks major ass
my condolences...
The room is bigger than opinion
Ciao Maestro ❤️ you're a Number One of jazz guitar ! Great duo!
Wow!!!
I didnt know he could play like that!!
Smokin Bruno👍👍
He used to. Not so much anymore.
@@andybaldman
Yeah, it's because of the drinking, more than likely. I was there, at one point in my life. It will do u in...
@@anthonyshaw8698 Oh, is Jimmy a drinker? I didn't know that.
@@anthonyshaw8698I think he had a bad fall or maybe a stroke in the last couple of years. He doesn't play like this anymore but he's still a good listen for his hot takes on life and music
And I thought I was a guitar player all these years
spot on man, i think I'm a okay musician,,,, then there is a cut above okay, then a cut above that. then a cut above all them.. thats JB
This is amazing!
This is beautiful!
He is the best! !!!
love it!!
PS. "Joy Spring" my Fav bop (or whatever category it's in) IS my FAV of all time because it sends me to a joyous place..
Great...superb playing!
Wonderful
Great guitar player!
Incendiary and Explosive!
💣💥
🎸🎶🎼🎵👀
It is a & string Benedetto
Awesome...
sounds great! My man Jeff Pedraz on Bass. Only Jimmy could pull off a chord melody to Joy Spring......and make it swing.
Really ! I thought Clifford Brown made a good job of it.

P. Grasso is also top shelf.
Grande chitarrista jazz !!!
Muy bueno.
THIS MAN PLAYS WHAT IS KNOW AS JAZZ GUITAR !! G R E AT G R E A T bowed bass solo as well !!

I think I shot it back in winter 2002 at Villanova University... but my year may be off plus or minus one...
Flowsage, could you possibly add a description to this such as when and where this was taken? It's an amazing clip!
Cool...
@Jazzboful - I'd imagine that they'd be Sadowsky Jimmy Bruno signature strings... but that's just me.
That's cooking Jimmy - Joy Spring
who are the 2 idiots of gave this a thumbs down? I hope they were upside down.........
Elliott Johnson it’s ok they’re australian
Who cares! We love it.
School of the deaf?
@jamesjackovitch No, cuz even Beethoven rolled over and said: Yeah!
What a miestro ...
LIKE!!!
4:52 - The face you make when she....
3:53
"Joyspring" :D
omg, so great ! and that bass player amazing...who is he ?
Joy Summer
Can anyone tell me what the first song is? (yes I havent a clue about jazz..)
The whole thing is called Joy Spring. All based on the one tune.
Fughet about it
Jimmy Rules
Those are most likely Thomastik Infeld beebops
Jimmy, when you play the 7 do you tune to the A on the bottom?,
I'm not Jimmy (obviously)but yes! A
@@steveb9325 nah its B
And Who is on double bass?
Where are the big lights and big money for the real musicians
Is this the same Jimmy Bruno as the bearded one?
yes
Filip Dinev yes
the man
yes
haha … the bearded-one 😂🙌… yes… it’s the same guy… great master anyway!!
Who is this bassist?
@@seananderson9346 I believe Jeff Pedraz on bass
it was just so much effort to write in the title of the tune and respect the composer with a credit i guess .. oor we're all fkn telepaths now?
Bass player needs to see a shrink.
He's expanded
Lol. ....only if he wasn't playing anything
The bass player is a drunk...Good ol Jeff....
Tommy Richardson no, he's just playing archo.
Jimmy Bruno probably the best next to pass
I think you are right.
Rob Lucas Prasquale Grasso is slightly better
There is no “best” but he’s definitely a great..Pass, George Benson, Wes, George Barnes, Barney Kessel are definitely all greats with the highest caliber playing
Name that tune!!! Jazz is sooooo boring. Non musical noise.
A typical display of music ignorance. Listening to popular music will make you like that. Jazz approaches melody in a different way, there are many that could educate you. Time to go back to school and learn
Joy Spring a complicated tune from the 50s not a crack baby pounding on a trash can
Jimmy Bruno is the boss!
