Hiram Bullock was a great guitarist and an energetic showman! I saw him hang upside-down from the balcony, while playing with his band, at Finney Chapel in Oberlin, Ohio! Great concert!
Rest in Peace, Dave I was only 17 when this series "Night Music" premiered in 1988. I would stay up till 1am on Sunday nights to record it. This show with Bootsy is stil my all time favorite. Possibly the greatest thing ever broadcast in the history of network television.
For years I no idea how this dude (Steve) won the Downbeat magazine “best electric bass player” every year. “What about Jaco? Stanley?” Then I grew up. When I FINALLY heard Steve YEARS later (on “Carla” and “Sextet”), I got it. Steve is a true genius. The most soulful and melodic bass player around.
This series was my favourite television program of all time. I am amazed that it was ever produced. I’d set the VCR to record and after gigs the band would come over for pizza and beers and Night Music. Cool combinations of musicians and great historical performance clips. Favourite moment: Nick Cave singing Hey Joe while Toots Thiemans was playing behind and looking at Cave with a WTF? expression. (Toots, I was thinking the same thing….)
Such a great program all over 7:30 I thought: oh, Carla has moved to the Organ… then 8:03 - wait… double Carla plays Piano and Organ simultaneously 😅 Man and then the presence of Hiram Bullock, the tone and dedication of Sandborn, all the other great musicians… it’s a real joy to watch and to listen to 🙏🙏🙏
"Looks like a Bootsy" LMAO what a cool mum... a cool mum with her amazing daughter right there, too... Healing Power indeed. Thank you Carla, thanks uploader. Fly on Dave,, Hiram... shine on y'all!
What a choice in taste the way Steve concludes the solo. For a moment he seemed like he was going to play a couple more notes but he didn’t. That just smacked me.
Thank you! I love jazz music, from the roaring 20s, to bebop, to every possible expression that can be labelled or catalogued but I'm the farthest from a connoisseur. Just came to see the viedeo because I saw the notice of the death of Carla Bley ( The Guardian ). So as I was watching, was thinking, are there two Carlas, is that a special effect?... Thx
yes. the performance also includes members of Karen's band of the time, Karen Mantler And Her Cat Arnold, who were active in 1989-90: Steven Bernstein, trumpet Pablo Cagolero, baritone saxophone Jonathan Sanborn, 3d bass J. Sanborn is David Sanborn's son. at times Karen's band also included vocals by Eric Mingus.
I’ve heard the full story of bootsy and the acid ´´´bootsy and a couple of the guys were standing outside just before a show about to take some acid that was in a large cup of fruit juice . Out walked James brown stood with them for a minute talking then asked them for a drink grabbed the cup and drank it down and walked back in ,,,find bootsy talking about it it’s wild
I'm glad you like it. That program had many, many artists worth checking out - although not all of them will be as laid back as these performances, but I'm sure you might find a few more to your liking. Take a look at my playlist "Sunday Night Live" for more, if you're interested.
Depended on what season, and what session you happened to watch: for the most part it was Hiram Bullock, but you had guest guitarists like Robben Ford stop by and fill in, when other gigs were pulling the different band members away for periods of time. Also, while they might have been the "lead guitarist" on one song, they would often step back and let guests fill that role.
“Mean” meaning “bad” meaning good. Musicians used that word a lot in the 60s and 70s but it has since fallen by the wayside. Anyway, it was a compliment.
Travel safe among the stars, Carla 💜✨

❤️🎸 miss him!! Seeing him live absolute blast!!!
Damn must have be after I graduated. We only booked Talking Heads, The Headhunters, Sam Rivers and Patti Smith.
@@jedwingThat's quite the roster right there
Jimi lives!
I saw him just before he died in northern Italy very obese played Michele Lagrand's Windmills of your mind.

That Steve Swallow solo is the definition of understatement and melody.
For years I no idea how this dude (Steve) won the Downbeat magazine “best electric bass player” every year.

Then I grew up. When I FINALLY heard Steve YEARS later (on “Carla” and “Sextet”), I got it.
Steve is a true genius. The most soulful and melodic bass player around.
Love Omar Hakim. Truly one of the best musical experiences I have ever had was playing with him and Marcus Miller.
Wow, you don't see stuff like this on tv anymore. I somehow missed this when it was on. Such an eclectic mix of people
This is fabulous. Loving every note. What a great combination of talents playing together here

HEALING POWER!! Love the chemistry between the entire band, Bootsie and Dave’s friendship is genuine and shines through the tv!!
REALLY LOVE.😮
Steve Swallow and Hiram Bullock (R.I.P.) -- just perfect!
My goodness, the talent on that stage, that night.
For real! Almost every one of them is a leading light in their field!
...the important thing is you know.
Such a great program all over
7:30 I thought: oh, Carla has moved to the Organ…
then 8:03 - wait… double Carla plays Piano and Organ simultaneously 😅
Man and then the presence of Hiram Bullock, the tone and dedication of Sandborn, all the other great musicians… it’s a real joy to watch and to listen to 🙏🙏🙏
Damn I was so confused too. Especially since on the original Lawns recording Carla plays the organ!
Real music! I used to watch Night Music. I miss live music on television.
If I was forced to choose the greatest ever 15 minutes of television, this might be it.
"Looks like a Bootsy" LMAO what a cool mum... a cool mum with her amazing daughter right there, too... Healing Power indeed. Thank you Carla, thanks uploader. Fly on Dave,, Hiram... shine on y'all!
Thank you for the note of appreciation, and sharing how much you enjoyed the clip/performance.
Shoorah just condenses the vibes of all the sitcoms of the time, so much nostalgia for a 90's kid... Sanborne is the sound of the era for me...
What a choice in taste the way Steve concludes the solo. For a moment he seemed like he was going to play a couple more notes but he didn’t. That just smacked me.
Agreed. It was perfect. Silence is part of the solo.
Maybe he forgot there was a cue at the end and he pulled out so as not to play over the cue.
Hiram ❤️❤️❤️🎸🎶
I totally disagree. He's a right load of Bullocks!
Actually it was “Lawns” by Carla Bley which is one of my FAVORITE compositions/composers
Love Bootzilla!! That's what we need today in this crazy world!
Absolutely fantastic!!!!! 🎶🎶🎹🎹❤️❤️🎸🎸
Steve & Carla ! Gorgeous !
Really nice. I really miss Hiram...
What an improbable line up! And it's beautiful!
Always goodness from Bootsy.
Realizing how much I missed this program.
A real gem from a different time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it, and took the time to leave a note of appreciation.
Allen Toussaint brought JOY to every moment in his life -
Collins and Sandborn! I remember Dave's show. On waaaay too late for a high-school student EXCEPT on special ocasions.
Bullock’s guitar solo is filled with real soul and emotion.
Really, really beautiful !!!
Bootsy is just so damned cool. Pure Love too.
I was just listening to "Endless Lawns" off the new Kurt Elling album and realized it was this.
Gorgeous music
RIP Carla Bley & Allen Toussaint... gotta love Carla with Steve Swallow...
Amazing stuff 😮 Those were the Days 😢
Yacht! Until the guitar starts shredding it is totally yacht. With bootzilla as the bonus, wow! Great.
Carla's daughter with Michael Mantler, on the organ(?)
, Karen Mantler
Yes, that's her.

Beautiful. Thank you, Carla.
There were always good musical combinations on this show. Sobering to think of a lot of these great musicians who have passed on.
Keep inspiring us!!
Bootsy and Omar Hakeem are still alive, right? I knew Steven is.
Superb
Amazing
WoW phenomenal.
Mother and daughter, in fact.
To each his reach and if I don’t cop it’s not mine to get. Yes Sir❤
Classy music!
Hiram made that solo his bitch. And everybody on that stage just sat back and smiled while he did it.
Now dat was a Real super session 🎶☮️
Amazing! How did Carla wind up on both sides of the stage?
Karen Mantler
Hiram was such a bad ass, so real.
Do not forget Tom Barney and Omar Hackim.
All stars ❤
"I been buggin' bout your beauty baby buhbuh."

RIP all you great musicians and thank you.
I MISS THIS SHOW..
I’ve heard the full story of bootsy and the acid ´´´bootsy and a couple of the guys were standing outside just before a show about to take some acid that was in a large cup of fruit juice .

I liked this video because it is comfortable and relaxing. Very interesting work. 🎉💗🤗

This is the best one!!!
Steve swallow has a unique style
Amazing stuff this! Who is that on bass, Tom Barney?
RIP David Sanborn and Hiram Bullock.
Shout out to Bootsy, looking like a tall ass Chris Rock
RIP, Carla.
That’s “Lawns”. Awesome tune
Lawns by Carla Bley. Nice matching twin on b3 organ!
Wow. Sandborn bends notes more than Johnny Hodges. Didn't know that was possible.
Carla's Doppleganger on The B3! ❤
waw i dont no sanborn having hair like this .
Absolutely spectacular
Hiram! Getin ready to roll, Hiram gettin ready to roll.
❤
Wow.. that song is called "Lawns" tough
R.I.P. Carla Bley
That Parker bass tho 😯🤙
I thought Bootsy would be playing with them all too
Bootsy played later during another section of the show with Pretty Fat, Dave Sanford and Hiram.
I mean I thought Bootsy played with them Steve Swallow and Carla Bley@@wysiwyg2489
Bootsy Collins looks like Chris Rock playing Bootsy Collins
Facts.
Wait asec...Mirror image Carla Bleys?! 😮🙃😢
Karen Mantler, daughter of Carla Bley and trumpeter Michael Mantler, on the organ.
Is that David Letterman?
Never heard of bootsy but what a laugh.!
Legendary. He was the bass behind Parliament. Funk founding fathers!
So who was playing lead guitar on this show?
Depended on what season, and what session you happened to watch: for the most part it was Hiram Bullock, but you had guest guitarists like Robben Ford stop by and fill in, when other gigs were pulling the different band members away for periods of time. Also, while they might have been the "lead guitarist" on one song, they would often step back and let guests fill that role.
Hiram Bullock.
2 Carla B.?😢😮
4:01
What's the name of this show? Is there more on youtube?
Night Music. It was on in the 90s. Late Saturday nights. I used to watch it. It was fabulous!
@@adc2327 Thank you very much.
@@adc2327 Are you sure about saturday nights? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Night_(American_TV_program)
@@jacquesvanpoppel1622 I should correct myself. Late night Sunday. It was on late 80s-1990. Again, it was fabulous!
@@adc2327 Just discovered many episodes of Night Music on this account: www.youtube.com/@crosscurrentjazz/videos
AT wrote this eh? what a tune I remember well.
This is not one song. The first part is Lawns by Carla Bley, the pianist.
On this episode of How Much Weed Has Bootsy Smoked Tonight?
What I`m SAYIN`
Great song by a bunch of great wasted drugged souls
Steve Bernstein SEX MOB baby, and Pocket Brass Band.
why bootsy tell carla to stop being so mean?
“Mean” meaning “bad” meaning good. Musicians used that word a lot in the 60s and 70s but it has since fallen by the wayside. Anyway, it was a compliment.
I met david on a latenite flight,i was going to korea from seattle and he was headed to portland😢
Eyebrows
Wow.. I didnt know Ted Danson played the bass !
is bootsy mc hammer daddy? 🤔🤔😅😅
🤓
This is far out.
