The classical piece reminds me of James Brown's "This Is A Man's World". The style & feel.
In Sarah Sarah Eric's saxophone playing is killer!!!
Jonathan butler, What a wonderful singing voice!! His singing voice is not weakened at all compared to before His voice remains the same....
Monsters in the art of Smooth Jazz! With a God given talent to play what they want.

Kirk Wahlum. I'm at the computer saying YEAH YEAH!! It don't get better with musicians like these guys. Paul Jackson Junior, man you execute those broke-up chords and fills soooo nicely! NATE PHILLIPS! bassist, what planet is he from, the choice of notes; a bass lexicon of licks. The entire band is so tight, professionals in prophetic-unison; musical Jam-balaya! yum! Jonathan Butler, Peter White, PATRICE, Legendary Marcus Miller......enough said.

Hall of Fame Band!!!!!!!!
Think i will definitely dedicate this TUNE,Z to my old friend at Swingers Kevin Harris from Grego Grego,s TUNE,Z Jozi Vibes
I have to give homage to Kevin Ledbetter who demised some years ago. He was a great drummer and cool guy. I think he wore himself out trying to do so much. I can relate...the music business can wear us down without time for self and proper assistance and support. Rest well brother.
Blown away by Jonathan's perfomance,,proudly representing 🌈 nation,thank u sir

Two of my favorite musical ladies!! I sooo luv Patrice and Keiko!! Good to see Patrice! Hoping to see more concerts like this! I enjoyed every quarternote!!!
So great to hear all these masters play again. Jonathan Butlers singing and playing is better than ever. You can't lose with Marcus and Nate on bass too. Legends!!
That Moonlight Sonata is one of the greatest things I have ever heard. It totally takes me back to my classical beginnings and moves me at the core of my, jazz, rock, and jamming roots. It works on so many levels. Brilliant.
An All-Star Band! WOW! Marcus Miller; what more can you ask for?! However I have to go on record as saying…I just happen to be in love with PATRICE RUSHEN!!!… and have been since ‘Before The Dawn’ & ‘The Hump’! All of her instrumental JAZZ stuff has always been Phenomenal! This particular combination of musicians should convene at least TWICE a YEAR! Truly A DREAM BAND! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed EVERYONE!!!!
NATE PHILLIPS, my favorite PLEASURE song is SASSAFRAS GIRL! Vintage Classic, THANK YOU!!

Every musician in this band is the best in his/her own instrumental performance & collaborations with one another, producing very cool funky jazz sounds. Great work, guys & gals, with Marcus's conducting the team.

Professionally, deliciously and captivatingly delivered. Some of the best contemporary jazz music I have heard in a long, long time! Kudos to all the musicians on the set: Marcus Miller, Jonathan Butler, Kirk Whalum, Patrice Rushen, Kieko Matsui, Paul Jackson Jr., Alex Bailey, Munyongo Jackson, Nat Phillips, Peter White; Eric Mariental and the Trumpeter. Thanks a million. Thoroughly enjoyed all the music!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾♥️✅💕🙏🏾😎🏆🔥
Here we have the aristocrats of smooth jazz. The talent on show is mind boggling. Marcus Miller has got to be number one bass player in the world.
Delightful!
I love Keiko’s style of playing. Everyone did an amazing music work. I enjoyed every bit of it. Of course my jazz bassist hero Marcus Miller.
SUBLIMITY/SONG FOR BUNNY IS NOW MY SONG FOR EVERY WOMAN IN MY LIFE WHO HAS PASSED ON. THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE!
I absolutely loved it!... but tell me Peter White doesn't look look like Uncle Jed Clampett killin' it on his set! Lol! Luv ya Pete! 😆
They brought it back to the Beethoven root and threw it way out into the outfield and returned it to the root. Shiny Brilliance🎷🎺 🎼🎶🥁🎸🎺🎶🎶🥂🍾🍹🍸🍸🍹🍻🥃🍺

No kidding! When Marcus Saturday Night ended my pillow was wet because of my crying.
Our foremother name is Sarai then change to Sarah in the bible who was wife of our forefather Abraham. Mr. Butler you are in fact one my favorite guitar player/singer/performer. I stood in the rain Richmond VA to watch your show. One of the best that we've been graced with 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
SMOKE ON THE WATER was the hit where/when we went ice skating, memories!
MUNYUNGO JACKSON ... Such a Warm Hearted Soul 🙏🏽💥🙏🏽 Who Warms Music with His Percussive Colors COLOURS OF MUNJUNGO 🙏🏽💥🙏🏽 AMEN 🙏🏽
It's sickening to see we being in the year of 2021 and still see some people got to mark the thumbs down button. Any good musician or non musician would know real sweet music notes. Music notes were created for the universe. Every note is real and when several people come together and make it work for rhythm, melody, and harmony that is music. Long story short clean your ears out. Wack buildup.

Jonathan Butler, you gave me my first ever religious experience many years ago when I saw you in London, and I’’m not even religious!! Love you and the rest of you guys. Brilliant!!
There is standard time, daylight savings time, and the timelessness of great music!
I saw this concert when it was streamed in 2020. Awesome, exciting, and great concert! Loved every minute! Would love to have a Blu-ray of it, but glad it's on KZread to see again.
Eric Marienthal, always delivers for any occasion. When he's in the zone buckle up and enjoy to ride.
Music brings positivity, i love that! Thank you so much! GBU All and greetings from Jakarta 🇮🇩
This is like, a music Christmas tree! A 5 star music buffet! A field of musical wildflowers moving to the same wind! The wind beneath my ears lifting my soul into flight! A soul massage through the ears! A journey through time & space no spacecraft can give, unless it has a great stereo! A scenic train ride where the ears see, and the spirit feels the track and the power of the locomotive!
MARCUS, I LOVE THE COMPOSITION FOR BUNNY!!!! My God, so beautiful and timeless!!!! A beautiful instrumental expression of a wonderful woman's life!!! I've listened to it now about 7 times, each time feeling a different facet! AMAZING Y'ALL!!!! PATRICE, you have me floating on a cloud!!!! The chants are the souls of all the men a woman touches!! A fine example of how an instrumental can put tears in your eyes. Love the reverb!
Old School Masters. Damn I miss hearing these greats on "The Breeze" in SLC.
Patrice Rushen is Still The "ONE THAT GOT AWAY" XOXO 😘
What an absolute treat to hear all these amazing talented musicians. Thank you! Thank you! So comforting. I’d love cruising with them! Oh yeah!
COULD NOT HOLD BACK MY TEARS ON THE CLASSICAL SONG..YERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow tremendous players in that band Missing George Duke!!!!
Since sadly i was unable to get to the Berks Jazz Festival this weekend in Reading, PA, right now Marcus and Friends including Jonathan Butler and David Sandborn would ne performing. Hoping Jonathan is playing What the World Needs Now. To me I don't undetstand how only 1.5k people have watched this amazing collaboration of musicians. It should be 2.5 million like Westchester Lady. Think I will have a section on my website and post favorite videos..

I love smooth ; Free-jazz ; all musics are like Duke Ellington said : there is two musics - the good and the bad (in classical ; dodecaphonic ; seriel ; variety (pop music if you prefer) ...
This is 👍👌👍👌👍. I stumbled across this after viewing Marcus, G. Duke and D. Sanborn do "Run for Cover." Great lineup of so many talented artists. 👏!!!@
Man .... we should find a way to ‘ZOOM’ a live audience in the mix ... After such fantastic live performances we need to hear the live audience feed back .. on the air

Word for today: MUSICIANSHIP!
Peter and that Band Played So Smoothvie!!!
So glad to see the ladies be apart of this phenomenal jam session.
Boggie on Reggae Woman, by the great Steve Wonder (1:27:50): Apiece perfectly suited for contemporary jazz IMO. I have come to love this version more than the one released in 2005, and even the original one.
Marcus & Alonzo what a line Up! What a show, Money$$$$$ had to post on LinkedIn Hoto Village Friday Mini Concert Exhale. WOOOOH
