Their playing is extraordinary. They both feed off each other's playing. You tubers....how lucky we are to be able to see performances like this in our homes amid a pandemic. It enriches our souls and heals our body!
I first heard Bireli back in the late eighties when he played with Stochelo Rosenberg and Fappy Lafertine. He was great then and still is. Joscho amazes me with his precision, speed, clarity and musicianship. Together and individually they have entertained me before and during Covid.
No words. They are both out of this world. I saw Bireli several time in concert. I do not understand how this guy is playing guitar like that. He is not playing, he is just painting music. Joscho is just walking on the water, incredible style. They made my day.
My favorite jazz tune by my all time favorite best musicians! It's pretty enjoyable to see how Bireli has stepped into "Less is More" stage and Joscho challenging the technical limits. Just amazing!
yes, it seems he think more to enjoy the magic of music and sound rather then techincal virtuosism. but he is also older and maybe he had enough of steril virtuosism. anyway i love Joscho as well. he is a super genius too, i'm sure he will get more calm and more able to put virtuosism ego away in the years. love them both
@@marcobattistini6540 I know it seems that way, but the smartest way to play in a duo is to find different roles. I think they complement each other perfectly, because they’re playing different styles, and are doing it on purpose. I’ve seen a lot of players who value virtuosity over beauty - the late Joey DeFrancesco comes to mind, sadly - and I find great lyricism and beauty in both players.
love Bireli's nylon string guitar - paired with Joscho's Volkert, it's a really great sound...the level of playing and artistry here is unparalleled....incredible...
I could listen to this for hours. Not only are they each amazing musicians in their own right, but they complement each other so well. Joschko loves technical experimentation and funky rythms while Bireli is a seasoned and melodic player whose rythm guitar is out of this world.
No one is better than Bireli... Joscho plays a lot like Bireli did 20 years ago. Bireli may be showing his age a bit, but he is also laying back a bit here in order to make great, noncompetitive music.
Truly a one of a kind performance. I have heard this melody many times but never ever as explored by these two incredible musicians. Joscho and Bireli outdid themselves on this which is nothing short of sublime and pure guitar chemistry. Swapping solos and showing us viewers so many different sides to it. Thanks again for this track.
I don't know what it is about this song.. It just takes me to another time and place of blue skies..and possibilities. Thank you so much. You made my morning. I hope you guys can perform here in San Diego, California one day.
Was just listening to Ella sing this song on my phone. What an odd coincidence I log onto the computer and this is recommended. Big Brother is listening.
I thought hearing the entry portion of this version which was so spectacular; there would be something outstanding that would follow. They took things in a variety of directions which was fine but knowing the caliber of these players I found the phrasing in later parts sounded more like talking continuously without ever taking a momentary pause to breathe. Phrasing and silence can say as much as the playing.
Listening to this while working... awesome! I heard Joscho Stephan years ago in a concert and was somehow unimpressed, as he was great in technique but lacking the "soul" at that time (in my opinion) but now ... he's just as fantastic as Bireli! Congrats!
