Never, ever, have I heard a flute guitar duo sound more beautiful than this!
So beautiful! Excellence at its BEST!
I am totally mezmerized by the talents of these two artists and their interpertation of these compositions. The transition from Ellington to Jobim is done seamlessly. Malone's guitar sounds like a heavenly harp at some points. And Hubert produces a haunting sound like a soft breeze. I can almost picture Jobim siting on a beach and hearing the sound of the waves and wind combining to produce a light, airy melody. It's just magical. I never tire of hearing these super talented gentlemen's skill and combining these classics from two cultures. Play on gentlemen!!
5 years of playing and i’ve somehow never heard of hubert laws… best discovery of my life lmao
Mine too. First time I heard him play, I thought that is flute music I would like sound like.
I discovered him in a box full of records I bought. Such a lovely surprise 🥰🥰🥰
How about Eric Dolphy, or Jeremy Steig ? Hubert spent time in the Philadelphia Orchestra and was one of CTI records jazz stars. His brother Ronnie played sax and they had a sister who was a vocalist.
Welcome ❤I have loved him since a child and been playing since 13 y/o and he has helped me sing notes effortlessly.
See Hubert Laws with Claude Bolling on the Johnny Carson show. I think you'll be equally impressed.
The accompanist supports the soloist.He does not overpower him. He is the ideal accompanist.
Russell Malone is incredible
This is so well described, exactly how it is. 👏
@@jakemichaud9456 I'd only seen him with Ron Carter - but I immediately knew this was him just as the video shifted to his face... 10 years younger here!
Jeeezzz... he must be about 74 here.. still the same breath control embouchure and sound as 50 years ago! It's a miracle!
This is a match made in heaven
One of the most brilliant Flutist alive today. He's better than anyone alive or dead on Flute!! The Amazing Hubert Laws!!
nobody does what Hubert does. Is there anything he can't do? From tone to technique to creativity.......one of the finest overall MUSICIANS to grace us with music.
Khurram Aziz:
Am thirsty to hear... poetic flute brilliance!😠
Hes good but his tone is quite muffled and fuzzy. I like sharp clear tones personally.
I agree -- and you're in that company too!
Sherry Winston:
Are you still playing the flute?
What do you think about Ragan Whiteside and Kimberly Scott as flute Ladies/Queens?
What a incredible and passionate performance by the iconic flutist Hubert Laws and guitarist Russell Malone. Absolutely beautiful.
Hulaws playing Ellington and Jobim !! Very nice and great guitar too.
*The dislikes are the people who were tearing up and they couldn’t see the like button*
Perfect voice of flute.
The most tasteful thing my ears have listened to.
AWESOME
Russell Malone made the guitar sound like a heavenly harp. Hubert Laws and James Moody, my two favorite flute players.
Hubert Laws , these artists of these jazz muscians are priceless. ❤ Loved all of them.
European Classicism in sisterhood with African Aestheticism...
HuLaws, the monarch of such union, is still forever unmatched - in this regard.
100% manups to the guitarist whose unselfish approach, knowledge and skill have laid the foundation for such flautistic excellence by Prof. Laws.
Can't get enough of the flautic splendor of Hubert Laws and his musical "twin" whose guitar accompaniment is second-to-none - in other words, unmatched even by the best.
Perfection over perfection! Amazing!
The greatest flutest I have ever heard so graceful. ❤
Estos dos artistas negros son orgullo para la raza, Dios los bendiga siempre amén y amén gracias.
Lovely, balm for the soul.
You are a great inspiration for the future flutist to come thanks
This makes living worth it ^~^
So very awesome
The first time i saw him he played wit Stanley Turrentine , Ron Carter , Herbie Hancock at the Oakland coliseum. When he played Amazing Grace he made a believer out of me amazing to saw the least..1971 !!!!
I first heard the artistry of Hubert laws on an old Quincy Jones album. The tune was Killer Joe and to this day I can honestly say that Hubert is still the finest jazz flute player I have ever heard. There are many awesome flute players in the world but Hubert in my opinion is the finest of the fine.
about 6 yrs ago I played a jazz festival in Hawaii where Hubert was a headliner. His playing was beyond inspirational and piccolo, good god! His piano player told me he is extremely health and excercize conscience and I here that in his sound. and stamina. Hubert, Joe Farrell , James Moody I am so lucky to grow up listening to such fine flutists. Nobody sounds like a doubler to me.
I love the CTI label
Makes me want to get the old flute out and take it to the shop.....
Mesmerizing
BRAVO MAESTROS!!
EXCELENTE..!!
Laws has been my primary 'mentor' for 47 years now in my own career as a 'vocalistic' flute improviser. Thank you, Hubert!
BravooooooooOO !!!!
"You're a bad dude, man..." Russell, to Hubert
*Truer words...*
Between 5: 00 and 5:40 Russell played the most beautiful heavenly improve ever to be heard.
So glad you pointed this out!
It's fantastic...never heard that style/technique on guitar before
Great sound of the flute
i cant believe this is impro , its just beautiful , seems no wrong notes
love flute jazz
Beautiful
One of the greatest flute players in jazz music.
People considered Hubert a Jazz flute player but he is more than that.
Cartan AGREED
@harold hooper You speak of him in past tense, he still lives and performs!
Actually for Many Years He appeared in Concert with the LA Philharmonic Orchestra .. Once I saw him with Rampal as a duet and with full orchestra.. amazing!
Amazing improvisation and full control of the flute in every way! By far one of his best performances!
I am so happy to be brought to the sublime pleasure of hearing these two masters! Thank you Algo!
Awesome 😎.
Wow! Nice fusion between Sophisticated Lady and Corcovado by Carlos Jobim. God bless you Mr. Laws.
technically and emotionally Masters! Wonderful
Very beatiful sound and melody. See you from Chile, southamerica 👍
he makes the jazz flute speak like no one else. as far as I know he´s the best.
So beautiful ~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was this master Hubert Laws who encouraged Dave Valentin(another maestro on flute)to drop the sax and focus on the flute. Thank you Hubert!! Lets not forget Brian Lynch another maestro!!
Special!
Mr. Laws is a true master of his craft, Bravo Maestro 👏🏽✊🏽✌🏽
Hubert Laws!!! The greatest flute player in the world! Jazz or Classical flute. That is a direct quote from the great Quincy Jones autobiography. I have always been a huge Hubert Laws fan. I heard him play a concert in Chicago in 1971, the CTI All-star jazz festival! Hubert Laws was absolutely unbelievably amazing, I'll never forget his long unaccompanied cadenza. Thank you so much Hubert Laws!!!
Hubert!! An iconic jazz flute player. Joe Farrell also and he doubled. Wow, and you think back to Frank Wess, Moody, Rahsaan, I can go on and on.
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a 72yo Aussie fan.
Too beautiful for words K
Exact
So lovely!
This makes me cry every time I listen to this, so beautiful !
I feel so relaxed listening to Hubert. Zen, Zen, Zen. He looks as though his body is free of tension. I have never seen such a relaxed face. The sound is so unique, you know it's Hubert in a few notes. He is one of my favourite flutists. The other one is Moe Koffman. Really, there is no first and second. They are both wonderful to my ears, with their own sounds and styles. What a duo Hubert and Russel make. World class and beyond. The rhythm is hypnotic.
Amazing and beautiful.
Hubert !!!! Sin duda .... el mejor !!!! Lejossss !
Simply superb!❤️
Very simply ------- beautiful
Hubert Laws: The Master!
Eric Person: I was going to write just that..!
I just been reminded why he's my favorite.
La inspiración de Hubert Laws es la sensación sublime de una armonía instrumental capaz de hacer soñar y vivir
OH This is too much Black Excellence for my heart!!! I am smiling from ear to ear!! 2 black musicians playing a composition by another legendary musician....Duke Ellington. Nothing like this!!!
Hubert Laws.
The best thing I could imagine is right here. Keep jamming
Hubert is the best just listen to his passages and adlid his choices of melodic notes it's very pleasing to hear
True.
+wyndhl eodumegwu Hubert Laws has dressed Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" majestically in European Classical Attire, and has tenderly placed her down besides the vivacious foot of Corcovado Mountain in the Brazilian Savannah - intermittently he has.
Beautiful words!
Adam Gillström:
- with much respect!
beautifull sound and colored tunes you extract from that Flute, you´re great musician. thank you
Que sublimeee , grande hubert laws 👌
Beautiful beyond words.
gran version de Bossa Nova. muchas gracias. muy emotiva tambien las cuerdas. thank you both of you.
Great Hubert Laws Solo Work was and is always of great Inventness musical Deepness, Identity and Love.... a continuation of the great Flute Tradition of Inventors from Doppler to Gaubert to here and now. Jazz was always also commercial from Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Amstrong to Clare Fischer ,Joe Henderson, Chick Corea : Be lively Avantgarde AND Commercial, thats FINE with me.Great Chops develop, because You want them for the expression of the Soul.These People still know to play the Melody fresh and new. Great Musicians.

Magnifique,merci !
I have a few albums by Hubert Laws I just need to find and buy them all, he is so enjoyable to listen.
Well done. Worth buying. Thank you Hubert for your beautiful playing.
He made that beautifull alto flute sing, and let the notes dance
feadaíl-equestrian the best part is is that it isn’t an alto flute but he just makes it sound like it is
Kris Hughes thats an alto flute...
@@krishughes4902 he plays an alto after the guitar solo.
@@isaiasmachado7607 Thank you for this helpful hint.
Dear friends of Jazz and followers of Jazz music, I must remind you all that without the great father, shining example of the real musician of Jazz on flute Mr. James Moody, there will not be any further wonderful players as well Hubert Laws and some few others as a faithfull followers of the great Moody school but with personal stamp on it as Laws do it.
Верољуб Љубичић Also, let's not forget the importance of Eric Dolphy, a path explorer =)
I'm a Moody guy too..... MOODY ALL THE WAY!
Totally 100% agree. Sad that he's no longer with us but Moody was the best and is the best. End of story. Check out the Master on his composition Cherokee 👍❤️🤗
One of the great ballads usually associated with Duke Ellington. Excellent rendition by Hubert Laws
Thank you for enlightening us!!!So smooth and inspiring!
HUBERT LAWS IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST!
wow so amazing! ;}
Man ..... just incredible ....... Thanks for sharing this incredible piece.
Sublime

I just had the privilege of hearing the awesome Hubert Laws live March 14th, 2019, in Chicago. He was phenomenal! Unbelievable might be a better description. Thank you so much for posting this video! It really captures Hubert Laws playing so beautifully!
Robert Gradl: agree and envy you for being there. He is one of the world’s living musical treasures.
