RIP friend of 20 years into eternity
Que le sucedió? Abrazo grande desde Argentina 😢😢
Such a loss.
RIP, I'm a jazz amateur and just discovered this master, what a loss !
One of the highlights of my life was seeing Russell Malone performing live with Diana Krall. His refinement and taste was amazing. I am in complete shock at his passing.
One of the most under-appreciated musicians of his generation, regardless of instrument. Respect and RIP.
Russell Malone has to be one of the best solo guitarists alive...This arrangement is very sophisticated.
Russell seems to have some classical technique. I play this tune and can play along easily, but his finesse with harmonics is not easy to master with such ease.
RIP ALWAYS....such an incredible guitarist!!!!
I am honored that I have live long enough to hear this incredible man make a guitar live.
Russell has influenced my straight-ahead playing more than any living guitarist. His swing feel will tear the hair off your head, then he’ll turn around and hit you with something like this. Pure emotion and mastery.
Can't beleive !! .. passed away so young ..
I was lucky enough to see Russell with a quartet at the Village Vanguard in 2016. He sure can swing and also, as we can see here, play with a delicacy of touch.
A sad day. Too young at 60. Saw him 3 times. Great musician.
The world lost the genius. I wish I could’ve gone to your concert once. Thanks for bringing us beautiful and magical music. I’ll love your music forever. Rest in Peace, maestro!!!
this guitarist touches me more deeply than any other player around today..so sensitive, lyrical, earthy and a tone to die for!!!
This tears at my heartstrings over and over and over and.....and simultaneously my analytical mind is trying to figure out just what this giant is doing....Thank you Mr. Malone, for your inspired playing
Russell Malone has both the technique and the soul to capture the beauty in any song even as a solo.
MAD RESPECT. this reaches a whole new level.
ive seen this guy twice, i saw him last night at dizzys at lincoln center and he blew me away once again. absolutely pheonomenal.
Russell, You are absolutely wonderful! It is great knowing a person and artist of your stature.
That was absolutely beautiful, this is the first time I heard you play solo, I hope all is well with you my brother. I met you one day when I was hanging out with Johnny O'Neal at phyllis's house back in Atlanta, I remember you was telling me you were going to move to New York very soon because you knew you had to do that in order to make it to the top my brother and you did just that, congratulations. congratulations..
Russell Malone is one of my favorite guitarists. I love the way he phrases his music. He is also an amazing accompanist. It is hard to accompany a singer like Diane Krall and find just the right things to put in. His playing on the Nat Cole song Krall does "you're looking at me" and his solo on it are amazing.
"How Deep Is Your Love, Russell Malone?"
"Very."
Amazing rendition of one of the BeeGee's hits. Russell's talent to bring out all
the beautiful tone and harmonics from his Gibson Super 400, is spectacular.
He's playing what is called a "Super V" here..not a Super 400..The Super V was developed by Bruce J Bolen in the late 70's..it was essentially a Super 400 neck stuck onto an L5 body..just thought I would mention it for the sake of interest..not trolling!
best
Oh man, this is just so good. I love Russell Malone but have never heard this. It’s so gorgeous...he’s such a good player.
Beautiful💛RIP💫🎶🙏
Well that’s about as wonderful as it gets
Love seeing his thumb finger technique
So happy with this music for 3 min. Thx russel
Beautiful guitar playing, beautiful person. RIP
Went to see Russell at Blues Alley in DC. I hold him in the highest esteem. He is one of the greats with Benson, Montgomery, Pass, and Martino. RIP!
this is just madness
RIP 🖤✨
Russell is the king of this style of solo guitar! This is full of emotion and like anything great hearing it a 100 times is as enjoyable as the first time!
sadly...
RIP, russell.
😢
legend!
Sadly I just read about Mr. Malone's death and I'm just discovering him through this story. My loss because this guitarist should have been better known ! I was just listening to How Deep is Your Love " and his version brought tears to my eyes it's so beautiful ! I so sorry for his family and friends for his loss. And our loss as music lovers. R. I. P🙏💔
miss you already
outstanding...saw him in Chicago in 10/2014 and was blown away. the band was extremely professional and amazing. he is a genius musician.
What a beautiful arrangement of How Deep Is Your Love by the Bee Gees. I've always thought it would sound nice on guitar. This is extraordinary! What a player.
How deep is your love!!...Awesome!!!
i like this tune a lot, i don't have words for the performance of Mr. Malone. Thanks for post this video.
Wonderful, this touches my soul..! And three guys out there have NO CLUE.!
Beautiful arrangement... I hope one day Russell releases a solo CD.
Outstanding, what an artist, thanks
Excellent- thanks
makes you cry...how great he is
Beautiful 👌
My ears are salivating from listening to this brilliant guitar playing from RM.
What Beautiful Arrangement for How deep is Your Love Rusell is a master
Heard Russell Malone play live at the Blue Note in NYC with the Ron Carter Trio last weekend. He was spectacular - both in his solos and his unerring synergy with Donald Vega on piano and the great Ron Carter on bass. This was a magical night - spellbound audience throughout the entire performance at the sold-out club.
Brought tears to my eyes Russell! Hope to see you in person someday.
Just Beautiful Russell
wonderful! very tasteful and beautifully done.
Very good performance,harmonisation of the melody and those Chord harmonics ,got alot of inspiration from this ,thanks for posting guitarfestival.
Russell Malone - The Best Living Jazz Guitarist I've Heard
So great, very nice.
Devoted fans to your gorgeous sound forever! Don't know how you do it, but keep doin' it maestro!
Magical harmonics! So beautiful.
What a brilliant performance.
And well you might smile after a solo like that young man. (I'm an old man!) Superb. Your right hand technique on this one is unusual, but so effective and your harmonics are perfect. Thank you Russell for a soulful and musical interlude.
Regards... John
Oh my gosh! That's awesome and beautiful.
Amazing
I've been a fan for a long time...but thank you for the visual...nice to see his great technique!
Just beautiful! I especially like the Lenny Breau harmonics. He's a smooth, brilliant player.
Really amazing Russell!! Congratulations
Increible este guitarrista, toca fascinante sus arreglos.
Might I suggest (for those who have never heard) the Live at Jazz Standards 1 and 2 albums. Some of the best live jazz guitar work ever.
Brilliant!
wonderful!
Incredible.
Probably the most excitingly tasteful guitar player I've heard in decades
Beautiful!
Just amazing. Love the little flick and grin at the end.
he does this exact arrangement on a live album with benny green called jazz at the bistro. really really killer stuff!
Mais um grande talento que se vai.... 🙏🙏
I played that guitar last year, the action is incredibly smooth
Super 400?
Beautifully done! Classic ending.
Un grande
Anthony Wilson was already nominated for a Grammy long before he hooked up with Diana Krall. But anyway...
I wish Russell Malone would release a solo jazz guitar album of just this kind of stuff. What a magnificent musician!
Superlative playing here. A Joy . Marvellous ! .
i am a hip hop fan and love it . also devout metallica fan ..love kirk..but i was wacthin sytycd and heard a song buy dianna krall (a case of you ) that my favorite dancer russell danced to and it touched my soul.i finally found it on youtube. then heard blvd of brokn dreams and heard this cat play a solo live that made me realize ive been giving kirk to much credit . this russell guy is on a whole nother level. i feal like ive been deprived of a more real music. this is wonderfull
Meraviglia!
Amazing!!
Thanks for posting! I'm transcribing this and got stuck at 1:45 with the harmonics, had no idea how he was getting those and seeing him play it helps a ton!
Brother(s) Gibb should be very proud of this song (Russell Malone recognized hidden jazz qualities in it, and brought us a very warm and soft version, as he always do!)
1:28: Sick! Why hasn’t Malone recorded a solo guitar album?
Really nice.
Russell Malone .. His style of music is so unique ...
gotta agree with u there bro. absolutely amazing albums.
May he RIP!!!
🙏🏼
💯💯
that color of jumper really matches his guitar... nice.
Vilken musikant!...means...What a musician!
love you....
wow! simply beautiful, (at a speed I can even play)
RIP...this is so weird. I woke up singing this song today seven hours before I heard of his passing.
Just listening and not watching makes this performance even greater.
RELAX,Smooth jazz...very ,very nice:))) Bravisimo..:)))
Wow!!!!!!
Jfc, amazing
Thx a lot Mister
Russell plays the guitar with such finess; his fingers seem to fly over the strings like water going over a waterfall.
