Well, at the very least the Japanese audiences pay attention to what you're doing up there and aren't talking/yelling above the band like in...other countries. Having played several tours over there I was never annoyed by their enthusiasm. At least they always clap on 2 & 4 :) Thanks for the great vid. Hank was THE man.
I heard John Coltrane playing to a mostly black audience in NY and they certainly weren't silent. They chatted a bit during numbers and would also bark their approval of particularly juicy licks. Ahhhh! Yeah!!!!! Aeah!!!!!!! It seemed perfectly appropriate.
I prefer Hank Jones to Oscar Peterson who is just hard to listen to sometimes. Hank is smooth and enjoyable. Now if the audience would stop trying to join in😈.
@granthunt I don't see your reasoning for that. The whole point was to have fun and mess with the changes/tune. That's exactly what he did! And all 3 of them had their own style, and his was just... Fun!!
Too bad the crowd is so happy-clappy. This performance is stellar. Jones sounds simultaneously brilliantly inventive and deeply rooted. He makes bebop sound dangerous again.
"The Blue Note" in Tokyo?? Okay. I know there was one in NY. The Japanese imitate our jazz culture so lovingly. Only the bathroom is probably clean in the Tokyo one.
Clapping is absolutely OK according to the context. He probably made a lot of jokes between the songs and the audience felt confortable about clapping. In addition, he seems to enjoy it!
@ImaniHekima @Jyazz21 It depends on the style. IMO, the mood of this calls for dancing and clapping etc., but more exploratory/atmospheric stuff should be listened to "contemplative silence".
Jazz is not classical, audience joining in is great, clapping after solos, yelling sometimes (eg WOW!). Makes a great recording if there is great playing (understatement here)
It's not that I'm encouraging clapping, yet at least they're clapping on the 2 and 4. In Israel everybody (non-musicians) claps on the 1 and 3 - even in jazz shows!
applause is food for entertainment. besides they cant keep up. wouldn't blame them either; the fucking back beat (love for sale). i think the Japanese go nuts over this, and again wouldn't blame them.
So why is the drummer bad? Time is everything and that drummer had it. Time is evidence in his solo, he was actually singing the tune in his head during his solo. That's why Hank comped a few hits. Any who Mr. Hank Jones is awesome!
N' why not? Lets be honest, jazz was created for the body to react to the soundwaves. The birth of the ''cool'' was the death of the jazz in my opinion. Victor Wooten explains it well in his interview with Reverb.
Artur Leppik exactly, the clapping is delineated from the Baptist Church and one of the cultivators of African American Slave music that transcended from church hymns to folk blues and southern country to eventually rags and minstrel music- all aggregates to the gestalt known as jazz. The music was a representation of a juxtaposition of enslavement and freedom-- this is a dancing music- even borrowing the rhythms of West Africa from the great slave trade into its DNA. Once you can’t dance to it, it becomes intellectualized and formulaic for academic consumption I’ll take Basie , Louis Armstrong or Louis Jordan any day over Pat Metheny
@@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743 this is my uneducated guess, but mainly clapping in the birth of blues was because it was participating. You don't go to see Hank Jones to participate... They already have a drummer. Sometimes, it's better to just watch and enjoy... say yeah when you hear something good... give an ooh when you hear a cool line. That's just my opinion
Siempre he pensado que el público "jazzista" es sordo... absolutamente sordo y snob... porqué? Porque el jazz es solo para músicos y no todos. Algunos. el 15% no mas.
No, it's not. They can be enthusiastic silently. When the audience claps their hands, it ruins the sound. Plus, it's distracting for the musicians because they can rarely keep a beat. I came here to watch them play and listen to great music, not listen to somebody clapping.
Amazing trio
Excellent solos, with no need of excessive virtuosity, just smooth and nice phrases
Hank is a quiet hero. I grew old enough to understand his art and realize he’s such an underrated giant.
Hero? What makes him a hero?
@@elshpen Seriously? Just a figure of speech about his modesty.

Thad, Elvin, Hank Jones, the Perfection of number 3
Pure elegance and class,sophistication ect, ect, ect
Thank so so so much!!!! This beautiful music makes me happy!

Fantastic!!!
drum solo is excellent medicine for audience clapping and i like it
Very Nice! Loved that!
MAN i loved the drum solo!!! HE was REALLY singing something with his drumzzz
Great!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
懐かしい！オーディオに投資していた頃よく聞いていた！
Hank has it all the way.
Great Jazz Trio : Hank Jones (p) George Mraz (b) Billy Kilson (d)
Tokyo, Japan, September, 2008
PERCUSIVE61 bass player is David Wong
I heard John Coltrane playing to a mostly black audience in NY and they certainly weren't silent. They chatted a bit during numbers and would also bark their approval of particularly juicy licks. Ahhhh! Yeah!!!!! Aeah!!!!!!! It seemed perfectly appropriate.
Not the same as clapping though.
stunning interpretation
This guy got rhythm. Never seen him in concert. I wished I had. Plays a lot behind the beat, like Errol Garner
Yes! beautiful
I'm a bassist myself, and normally I'm not a fan of upright solos - But this is incredible! :)
What a bass solo !!!
What's the name of the drummer and the bassist? this trio is totally awesome!!!Hank Jones forever!!!!
Brilliant😊
👍👏👏👏💪💪💪💀super yeaahhh
Superb .... yeaah man.
I love that Japanese style camera movement
I prefer Hank Jones to Oscar Peterson who is just hard to listen to sometimes. Hank is smooth and enjoyable. Now if the audience would stop trying to join in😈.
Best version ever?
very very good!!
@granthunt
Why not? He fits in perfectly. Very in the pocket. And he has very obvious chemistry with Hank.
good...good !!!
RIP Hank Jones
They should call this version / performance "clap and drag"
Thank God I was not there ... some of the audience would not have survived
Very nice!
Terrific
@granthunt I don't see your reasoning for that. The whole point was to have fun and mess with the changes/tune. That's exactly what he did! And all 3 of them had their own style, and his was just... Fun!!
I like how at 4:22 Billy is like "OH YEAH, we're playing a song".
David Wong, the bassist.
Thank you for that.
@@DLSmith93 Ditto! I wish YT OPs would add this kind of information more often.
AMAZING. CLASS A TRIO. DRUMMER IS RIPPING IT. CHEMISTRY ON POINT. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
what the hell are you talking about.. their enthusiam is part of the fun vibe of the tune.
It's funny not many others picked up on that! For big Sid ftw.
@granthunt yes u r so rite cos u r d master of jazz!!!!1!!1!11!
I hope I still play like that when I'm that age....
4:00 excellent
@RevoIutionz he plays the biimaj. for ex in Bb he plays Cm7 Bmaj ( or B7 or B6 ) Bbmaj.
B it's the tritone instead of playing F7.
Don't clappers know that clapping on the beat is considered aggressive, according to the great Duke Ellington.
Yes, the clappers are not appreciated here, (especially when Hank Jones is playing), but at least they are clapping on 2 and 4!
!
Love the For Big sid Reference at 3:58! And yes the clapping ruins the cookin' groove.
Show me the drummer bass players name? Loved them both too!
Too bad the crowd is so happy-clappy. This performance is stellar.
Jones sounds simultaneously brilliantly inventive and deeply rooted. He makes bebop sound dangerous again.
Well Hank jones got Rhythm, the audience not so much :P … anyways … amazing recording!!!
Te has molestado siquiera en saber como se construye un solo. Lee un poco y podras disfrutar de esta música tan maravillosa so memo.
@israel142 how do you know when a drummer is at your door? his knock slows down.
@AtCMusicRozz Apparently at Blue Note, Tokyo.
👍👍👍😄
@billythehelper Don't think that is Get Happy, but it sounds a little like it doesn't it?
that left hand span!
daunting!
who's this drummer man?
Can anyone tell me what kind of jazz this is please?
holy guacamole!
PUPUPU HOW SILLY
whats the ending chord progression hank plays at 5.08??
@rosskratter you forgot that he's amazing!
@qthecosco he's willie jones III
At 1:24 what is he playing? I'm almost certain it's some song, but I can't remember the name. It's driving me nuts.
I don't know but at 1:33 that phrase is in a latin song called mambologia
Bassist is amezing
What is his name??
David wong.
"The Blue Note" in Tokyo?? Okay. I know there was one in NY. The Japanese imitate our jazz culture so lovingly. Only the bathroom is probably clean in the Tokyo one.
...if a trifle futuristic!
bass player swinging
Clapping is absolutely OK according to the context. He probably made a lot of jokes between the songs and the audience felt confortable about clapping. In addition, he seems to enjoy it!
Hahahaha he quotes Max Roach at 3:57. :DD
it seems like j dilla claps love it
drummer?
ドラマーはBilly Kilsonです。
@CanvasLife
When?
@ImaniHekima @Jyazz21
It depends on the style. IMO, the mood of this calls for dancing and clapping etc., but more exploratory/atmospheric stuff should be listened to "contemplative silence".
naaAAAA it isn't. It's going with the groove.
Names of sidemen are too much to ask?
does anyone know the bass player name?
David Wong according to Blue Note Tokyo website!
Oh what he mentioned his name at the end lol
Jazz is not classical, audience joining in is great, clapping after solos, yelling sometimes (eg WOW!). Makes a great recording if there is great playing (understatement here)
@Jyazz21 I wouldn't say for ANY music, but fucking A-right it is for jazz. What were these people thinking?
@Jyazz21
Oh, do you mean audience clapping after a solo, or audience clapping on 2 and 4? I can't stand it when the audience claps on 2 and 4.
It's not that I'm encouraging clapping, yet at least they're clapping on the 2 and 4.
In Israel everybody (non-musicians) claps on the 1 and 3 - even in jazz shows!

@JScarper bebop
Amazing, but not a fan of the audience clapping along
at least it's 2 and 4
cub670 I agree!

hank probably feels like shit how could the stop clapping their hands . . .
Nonsense, it ruins other folks enjoyment- see note above re Duke Ellington's thoughts,
(y)
Siempre he pensado que el público "jazzista" es sordo... absolutamente sordo y snob... porqué? Porque el jazz es solo para músicos y no todos. Algunos. el 15% no mas.
His slow no-vitality, playing is like his gray aging hair.

Definitely not the right drummer for this gig..!!
