Best concert I´ve ever seen and listen too, already so many times, this music is from heaven !

Can't thank you enough. I had a marvelous time listening to this concert.

Amazing how great the big bass sounds in this music. Ace player!

Amazing how music knows no boundaries when it comes to age. Dave Grusin is probably 82/83yrs old in this clip and Lee's son Weston , well all I want to say is, there's probably close to sixty years between them. Fantastic news for the future of jazz.

Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen Productions (GRP) is probably my favorite record label. They have provided me the most smooth jazz music in my collection. Awesome!

Wow!! Glad I was able to hear/see this video!!! Lee and company are extraordinary!! I never realized his son played. Nice, real nice!

Tom Kennedy's bass playing is purely fantastic! My first time seeing him, but what a revelation....WOW!

roflmao! I was just thinking his bass playing was the best replication of a Mexican food fart I'd ever heard.

Beautiful! This is so fantastic.this is on fire! Thank you!

Lee always sounds amazing, best tone, matures like a fine wine. What a class act. I surely wouldn't mind having one of his L5 signatures, although I'm sure they cost an arm and a leg.

Tom Kennedy is a truly wonderful, amazing musician.Thanks so much for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply Shalom 🎸 🔊🏞️⛰️🏔️🎊🎉✨🎇🎆🎈🐕🕊️🌷✝️❤️

Wow that was the tastiest music I’ve heard in a long time 😉👍❤️

The bass player moonlights as a mad scientist. Very enjoyable, thank you!

Que maravilha. Ouvir duas músicas de Tom Jobim: Stone Flowers e Chovendo na roseira, tão bem executadas!

I still recall GRP "Grusin Ritenour Production" now watching them performing together👍👍

First time I've heard Tom Kennedy... WOW.

Love Wesley’s playing, very musical.

Best Tone Period. My guy!!

American Jazz legends... I started hearing their music on my way to work from NJ to PA in 2000, and I am from India (Canadian) who always listened to English music but we had no Englisg radio music when I grew up - cassettes!!. USA, an Incredible country with incredible musicians. I never knew that Dave Grusin was so old, even at that time. Great videographer who focused correctly and an intelligent video editor who perfected the art.

Hoy en día todo es lujos y detalles, pero esto, estooo es ADORACION EN ESPIRITU Y VERDAD.

Vengan a BOGOTÁ!!! los adoramos!!! a Jazz al parque 2023!!!

I didn't know Lee had a son named Wes who plays drums. Very cool! He's a great drummer! Looks like Mr. Grusin is ready to go to On Golden Pond but he can sure still play! Tom Kennedy is awesome! And Lee, well he's one of the greatest jazz guitarist alive!

I just don't care for nepotism, in politics, in business, and in show business or the arts. It really grates on me. The youngsters need to make it on their own, stake their own course.......otherwise, this is just more being born with a silver spoon in the mouth and having life served on the proverbial golden platter. The stench of favoritism, bias, and unfairness permeates the air on appearances like this....Lee has used some awesome percussionists and bass players on previous appearances at this venue....tis a shame they are no where to see seen here.

@@johnmaer I don´t like that either. I was booked to play yet another TV show and the MD brought in his son, and I refused to play with his son on national TV. I kept the gig and the son didn´t get the gig. The price : The MD is still pissed at me. Parents wants to help their kids no matter the cost.

I like it ! Wow ! Realy good music.

Старая Гвардия! Как всегда, на высшем уровне! Потрясающе!

I love Grusin's shirt...very snazzy Dave!

This is fantastic! Watching this I am wishing that we had more live smooth jazz here locally. We are fortunate enough to have Dot Sero HQ'd right here in town, and they host a variety of smooth jazz artists beyond themselves. I would love to see Lee live, as this concert displays how talented they all are...and Lee is fun to watch, and you can see on his face how much he loves what he does...always smiling. Kudos to the cameramen and editing as well. Great jazz, thanks for posting. Ps- Lee I hope your health is getting better, and so sorry to hear about your house in Malibu. :-(

You haven't seen enough Lee on tour or in jazz fest concerts. Lee usually performs with some excellent percussionists. He usually demands the best in terms of bass and percussion. His son just came on board and most of us haven't seen what you see.

Carl, are you the Perkins who composed "Honey Don't"? Not sure I agree with your assessment of the drummer having enough touch. It's not necessarily about touch.....it's about keeping time, offering interesting fills, etc.

Fact is Mr. Ritenour has played with some excellent drummers.....I'm not convinced or persuaded that his son is there for any good reason other than he is Lee's son. A lot of guys can keep time or play drums....but to perform in this air or company....it usually requires a person with some special skill or prodigy.....not sure about that here. Ever hear of the word "nepotism"? If not, look it up.

@@manguera9 Wes R. doesn't strike me as an impressive percussionist....no bones about Travis. I've seen/heard Travis 10-15 years ago. Larry has had him out on the road for a long time. Clearly, Travis can play very good bass guitar......but, CP, you're asking me to compare apples and oranges. Doesn't work that way. Wes Ritenour is not a good drummer; Travis Carlton is a very competent bass guitar player, and yes, he is Larry's son. What am I missing?

With musical proficiency like this it would make you wonder if they practice while asleep? Tom Kennedy is a scary dude! All masters in their own right. It's like going on a surprise trip, just close you're eyes!!

@@misterdavid5400 Yes. The other one has one of the channels off kilter, it lags and it is obviously out of phase with the other. Not a temporary phase shift, the whole concert is like that. That would probably not be apparent to a casual listener using bluetooth speakers but with headphones it's unlistenable to.

22:35 Wes Bound actually sounds a little like the Dead's West LA Fadeaway opening riff.

OMG! where are Melvin and Sonny ??

Effortless playing by Quartet. Dave and Lee amazing. What is the title of the music which starts at about 34 minutes

que ironias da la vida ellos fabrican los instrumentos y al final terminan escuchandolo a manos de quienes le aventaron la bomba

I enjoy their version of "Stone Flower" as much as Santana's. And that's saying a lot!

I find it interesting that the track laid dormant for decades.....a great tune and quite a tribute to the genius of Carlos Santana and his band....but no one that I'm aware of really did covers of this track for the last 40 years.....until Ritenour and Grusin incorporated it into their live performances the last 5 years or so. It is so not-hard-rock, so not Latin soul/percussive.....more abstract jazz-fusion-light rock...hard to believe this was a Santana piece. I'd guess most of the folks in the audience here or elsewhere when performed don't have a clue what they are listening to.

The drum pattern is a reggae steppers style with other tidbits thrown in.

Great! - I'd rather Hadrien Ferraud on bass

They're good, but this show was kind of average... no single moment stays in memory after it's over. The son is OK, he's...well, the son... I gotta admit, though, that the bass player was really a notch above the rest!

Drummer isn't in the pocket

Just not sure about Lee's son and the drum groove he offers from time to time.....just doesn't sound as convincing and consistently good as the people that Ritenour has used over the years. Any drummers out there?
