- 2007, Was a very successful year for guitarist Norman Brown. With over 200 concerts per years ever since and the release of his CD "Stay With Me" early the same year, reestablish him as one the most requested smooth jazz artist.
I was lucky enough to be selected by his record label to interview him in person and I couldn't resist to ask him about his connection and direct friendship with his hero and musical tutor, guitarist George Benson. This interview and live performance of Norman Brown, will tell you everything and even thing that you never knew about him.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it for you...
This Video features:
George Benson: Guitar
Norman Brown: Guitar
Gerald Albright: Alto Sax
Boby Lyle: Piano
Michael O'Neal: Guitar
Stanley Banks: Bass
Michael White: Drums - Hudba
Mann.. Never dreamt I'd see George Benson and Norman Brown on the same stage playing together. I have almost all of George's albums and almost all of Norman's albums. From I first heard of Norman Brown back in 1994 I said to myself I'd love to see Norman and his mentor George Benson trading riffs and solos. Almost 30 years later look what I am experiencing!? Benson looks so happy alongside Norman and Norman never drop the ball. No ego displayed here, just true musicians at their A game.
Truly love this. 💯🙏🏾
Two jazz guitar heavyweights in the same place at the same time. Fiyah!
George looks so happy to have such a legitimate successor.
@Norman Brown you've been spamming that same scam all over the video comments. You're not Norman Brown, you're a con man.
George and Norman? Out of this world y''all!!
Yes!!!! Awesome!!!!!
Crazy!!!!!! I love how George made room for Norman's gift.
First I've heard of Norman. Seems cool and enthusiastic; I like this guy. You can certainly see the GB influence - from the Ibanez to the classic George Benson style guitar strap, to some of his licks. But I like his attack; it's aggressive and fresh. One of the greatest things about GB is his acceptance of other players; his complete interest and excitement in other approaches. He's completely ego-less - and encourages young players of all styles. And why not; nobody is going to be another George Benson.
Hope you got your hands on the ''After the Storm'' ..Norman Brown album by now man.
So true.
I 1st saw Norman Brown on Video Jukebox back in the day......he had signed with Motown's Mojazz label.....they showed a concert of his "After the Storm" album.......I said to myself, "this is a serious guitar player here".......he brought Jimi, Wes, and George Benson into the modern times, but he put his own twist to it........😏
I. Hear you my brother
This one I liked, thanks John❤ revisted 10 October 2023❤
Amazing how much energy they put into giving a performance while displaying their technical wizardry on the guitar... and they gotta bring it every night! Not an easy job...!
Wow!!! This is priceless!!! Who would have thought they would see George Benson and BAND perform with Norman Brown, when they came to the concert that night???!!!!
Just imagine: Wes Montgomery, Gerorge Benson and Norman Brow playing together, some day in heaven.
Uhhh...
I can’t stop watching this battle jazz guitar between George and Norman.
I used to go to Norman Brown's shows back in 1991 in L.A. !!!! he was also teaching at M.I.
Incredible performance by incredible musicians, MUSIC MAGIC!
Wish I was there!
Love all in the building❤❤❤
fan-freakin´-tastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the upload !!!
This was just a jam session for them.......... AWESOME!
OMG!!!!!! They are Completing each other noth Competing with each other!!! That's what I'm talkin bout!!!
No competition..George would never do that...he knows he's already the KING.
I wish my generation (age 19) understood this music..
Totally agree!
I can absolutely guarantee that loads of 19 year olds love this shit.
They gotta sit down and LISTEN.......ask themselves, "I wonder what was going on in his life during the time he made this album?", "who played on this cut?", "who's THAT cat?", "has he done anything else?", who's Charlie Chriatian? Kenny Burrel? Django Reinhart? Wes Montgomery? Joe Pass? Big Bill Broonzy? Hubert Sumlin? Buddy Guy? Otis Rush? T Bone Walker? Albert King, u know?🤔
Explore the "musical footprints", and go where they lead u.........😏
OMG gotta LUV the song and George Benson
I'm speechless. Wish I was there for this.
George Benson is my Hero since 1981
His music makes me forget all the hard times I have got in my lifetime and makes me happy all the time and always think positive
I love you all
TAkE FIVE
There is levels here. Benson is just in the olympus of the greats.
Like the contempories of Wes!
O.m.g. I cannot describe how this music makes me feel....pure bliss

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the most incredible line up of artist all at the same time on stage at the St Lucia jazz in 07 . George Benson, Norman Brown , Gerald Albright, George Duke ,Ronald Boo Hinkson , Al Jerreau , did i miss anyone . What a fantastic show that was .George Benson was the standout among that great line up of artist.

Freakin' awesome. Two of favorite guitar players together. Yes!
After acts16:1-7
I ñññññññññññ don't know what to say about the opportunity
For the vocabulary p
Norman is great, musical, and energetic. George Benson is otherworldly. Norman fell to the ground during Benson's solo for a reason. Insane genius.
Can watch this all day long
The level of energy dissipated is something so amazing!
Norman is such a great guitarist, love how he hits those strings. So much talent, not to mention George Benson another one of my favorites. Love them both 👍👍👍👌
It may happen but on Earth.Ps.37:11 (GB would appreciate this)
Special… very special… and you can see the respect and love of the art flowing🎼🎸🎸
Definitely incredible
it doesn't get any better than this
Unbelievable! I wish I could have been there to see these two in action!
Absolutely fantastic and incredible performance by George and Norman!...this is so lovely and great fun, seeing these guys displaying and look at that call and response chords of their well coordinated guitar wizardry
Priceless footage of two of my all time favorites....

O Norman é um guitarrista espectacular e ao lado do GB. Então, sem comentários..
Brown is a damn serious player, and deserves all the good fortune coming his way.
A great duo and and All Star Cast, just magnificent. Also the prequel to 24/7

Such great energy and musicianship.💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
Wow, my two Jazz Guitar Heroes playing together. Thanks AQUI & AJAZZ channel.
Norman you were blazing the stage up
Norman Brown in good. Very good. But there'll never be another George Benson. Never ever. As much as many try to imitate him there'll just never ever be another GB.
Norman is guy that you play/jam and chill with! Coolest brother-man!
Poder tocar com GB....Norman Brown plenamente realizado!
Norman held his own with the one and only George Benson!! I love watching this over and over.. jammin, all teeth ! 😀😅👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great sir.. I love you both.
Great Add, Love It!
это нечто большее - это состояние души!) SUPER!!!
Oooh, I wish I could have been there!
Good musicians, well done!
Masterpiece!
They are all great
Wow, just wow!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this.
Long live mr Brown👍🙏🙏🙏🔥
I've just found my new fav video :)
Wow ! Feel like making love! My fav
love and all that jazz
Love it
Great!
Magnifique !
Everybody on this stage is a star in his own right...EVERYBODY!! It doesn't show it in this video, but if you love Smooth & Hot jazz & you don't know or have never experienced Brian Culbertson, you are missing something extraordinary man, I mean that! One day, before I leave this earth, I'd like to experience all these guys on the jazz cruise! That ticket is beyond special!
This made me smile, Norman's like, George is my hero so I learned all his licks... Understatement of the century. That's like saying, heh I like to sing so I took on Marvin Gaye. No one covers Marvin, least of all on his own song. George is a prodigy, arguably the greatest popular jazz player of all time, so I would say that at least makes Norman a genius for getting in the same ball park. A great talent he is. Thanks former the upload.
Show
yeha grinning n groovin that broadway was wicked!
Lightning in a bottle.🔥💯💥🙏
man, that was insane. I've never been more than a hack...totally amazed by their playing!
