Joe Lovan in great shape playing the beautiful ballad "Portrait of Jenny". Great stuff!!! Joe Lovano - tenor Kenny Werner - piano Scott Lee - bass Jeff Williams - drums Montreux 1994
Just amazing this fella, Joe Lovano, and also Sammy Westico, never heard of em until now. I'm 56, brought up on this style of music by my late father who passed away in June this year. Aged 82, he would have loved this. Plus all 20s 30s and so the list grows! Enjoy!
I've often felt that way. But, then again, maybe anonymity suits me. A most meaningful comment as ever said to me about anything I've contributed along the way, musically; Thank you.
Joe is a great stylist in his own right with his place firmly taken in the pantheon of jazz. He was channeling train heavily this night (which is why I love him!) I dig joe. He is just able to blow so effortlessly, the man is connected! I love the Conn (some people call them a Chu Berry but they are actually the New Wonder-I got one)
Hi - old tenor guy in London here. Top performance from Joe on his Conn, but my god I love the second verse of Kenny's piano break in stride style before the chorus.
Kenny Werner also reminds me of one of those creepy middle-aged dudes you wouldn't want your daughter to be anywhere near. And then he sits down at the piano and melts my face, and all that goes away.
This was part of a Montreux jazz festival compilation. One more tune was part of the program: Topsy Turvey with Judi SIlvano (Miss Lovano) and Tim Hagens on trumpet added.
YTINF the best stencils are the 40s or earlier horns like the Pan American..basically a chu layout with a sweeter sound ,conn 66m pattern..also GRETSCH commander is a no frills Buescher pee shooter bell aristocrat..play great..BUNDY special is a Couf copy etc ..Reynolds did a great Martin magna stencil..
I love all the great comments, but this is not "A Portrait of Tracy",by any means.This is "I'm a fool to want you". It's crazy that everyone has such strong opinions but don't know this is the wrong tune.
Anyone else still watching this regularly in 2023??

joe takes it to the stars with this one
Joe is absolutely ON FIRE here!!! This is among the best stuff he's ever done - I've known him and been following his music since the early 90s...
Man....this pianist is so good at following...I love how Joe and Kenny are in sync....the whole band is in sync
Jeff Williams: Maybe the most underrated drummer in jazz.
I love him on the Brubeck sessions with Bigert and Thomson.
@@rickholland9203 huh?
no, not I

This piece, is a work of art.
Still one of my favorite vids!! So playfull, and Joe's sound is as big as life itself!!
same changes as "i want to talk about you?" one of trane's favorite ballades.
This is outrageously good!! Lovano touches my heart and soul. No wonder that my favorite Frisell and Scofield recordings are with Lovano
One of my favorite recordings! Everything just feels so good! Kenny and Joe are killin!

Kenny Werner! woow!! amazing!
Beautiful tune and great playing from masters of their craft ! Being a drummer I must say that Jeff Williams really swings !
God is he incredible on this. I just saw him live a few weeks ago and he is a serious monster player.
Damn, Werner! Your block chords KILL me!!!
A representative of the school of the big sound
The great Joe Lovano.
Doesn't get much better than this.Joe at the top of his game.Ditto for Kenny Werner.
Masters at play -- 9:45 minutes of gorgeousness!
i love how kenny just watches joe the whole time... like he's in the crowd or something

Kenny Werner.
@@renedehilster5735 great player
1.God 2.Joe Lovano ...
Incredible performance. You know you're playing if you sweat clear through your suit! Wow.
When everything falls into place....brilliant
wow.
now , i really start loving Joe Lovano.
Thx to a friend who made me discover him>
Lovo is the boss.
The ending is perfect
I remember catching these cats at the Vanguard about that time. Freaking awesome.
Great Video...these great musicians are family to me...so glad this was posted..
Roseanna
The trane was strong in that one. Lovely........
Beautiful. Beautiful. Just f-ing beautiful... Is there more from this concert?
Shades of Charles Lloyd in the first melody statement--very nice..
This is a work of art.Joe u da man!!!
First heard this song as a kid on a Nat Cole vocal album. Joe and company put down some loving tones.
That's just the best sound. He should still be playing a Conn.
more punch and presence in the conn, no question. Such a shame that he plays those junk blandanis for the $$.
I just saw him in Boston and he was playing a silver Balanced action. He sounded so dark you would think he was playing a wooden sax.
Real Royal Matrix it’s a New Wonder. The model before the10m.
YTINF I’m kind of guessing but the Eb palm key looks like it’s round. I think that means it could be a series 1.
Just nipping to iTunes to buy some Joe Lovano. Probably all of it.
Grande Joe!
man killin, man at 3:53 lovano quotes from Four by Miles davis..genius
Merveilleux !
nice playing knew his dad brother and family great people and great musicans
Fantastic!
Great skills~

Great, great, great, stuff...thanks for sharing.
i ve had a number of teachers over the years. joe was my favorite .
damn Kenny sounds unbelievable!
Scott Lee on the bass!!
Great playing. Nice tune.
cuando tuve la oprtunidad de filmar a kenny en el bluenote me dije a mi mismo,que su armonia tiene un punto filosofico bravo kenny
Kenny Werner also reminds me of one of those creepy middle-aged dudes you wouldn't want your daughter to be anywhere near. And then he sits down at the piano and melts my face, and all that goes away.
How deeply they all listen to one another.
been a fan of kenny werners solo in this performance. the vocabulary is really stunning imo
Man -- all those block chords
Wooooow
inspiring
Nice Joe Nice Band
Damn!
nailed the E
Fabulous playing (individuals and group). Anyone know the date of this performance?
TOO MUCH !!!!!!!!
@saxophile1 joe lovano is most definitely italian
Forget it... I just found the info --> Montreux 1994
Please please more from this tape if you have it!!
Joe is the fucking king
3.00 is sweet just hiding in there
Yes it is a Victor Young tune. I stand corrected. Haven't seen that movie unfortunately.
Saint Joe!
dig the saddle bags on that beast o' burden !
he's sweating through his suit jacket that's all
great white dope!
damn
Papaaaaaaa uauhhhhhh
Anyone know of recordings or other videos of him on a Conn horn?
@pascal62 more like. 0:00 to (insert infinity here)
Lovano plays italian sax Borgani
6:21 dig...
Did someone transcribe the first half of that piano solo? ahah!
Does anyone know if more footage from this concert exists?
This was part of a Montreux jazz festival compilation. One more tune was part of the program: Topsy Turvey with Judi SIlvano (Miss Lovano) and Tim Hagens on trumpet added.
Muy Bueno¡ Gran Jazz¡
@pascal62 Tried it. I get out of hospital next Tuesday.
!? Freddie didn't write this tune, it was written for the 1948 movie of the same name.
LOVANO DESTROYS
At five-forty-seven Kenny has the best swing.
Kids: don't try this - 3:30 and 7:30 - at home!
PAISAN
Can anybody tell if this is a Conn New Wonder I, or is it a NW II tenor? I can't make out the G# clearly enough. Man does this sound HUGE & SWEET
are you serious...? really man. you have to be joking. werner is simply incredible in this recording.
who is the pianist here ?
Kenny Werner: kennywerner.com. Incredible musician, philosopher, and teacher.
🌱💛🌷😃
🌼🙄💙🌱
who the FUCK disliked this?
this is some serious shit
i studied with Joe AND Kenny...but i don't sound like that. hmmm...NOBODY can!
a little like batman though
seriously? don't think joe would agree with u
4 don like... wtf!!! obviamente si sos sordo ves a un boludo moverse y nada mas ¬¬
Thats an Early conn Big Bore tenor.Fat.
YTINF the best stencils are the 40s or earlier horns like the Pan American..basically a chu layout with a sweeter sound ,conn 66m pattern..also GRETSCH commander is a no frills Buescher pee shooter bell aristocrat..play great..BUNDY special is a Couf copy etc ..Reynolds did a great Martin magna stencil..
I love all the great comments, but this is not "A Portrait of Tracy",by any means.This is "I'm a fool to want you". It's crazy that everyone has such strong opinions but don't know this is the wrong tune.
I wonder . . . . are those funny cigarettes hard to light??
this is "a portrait of Jenny" !
If you're gonna be so confident about your opinion you should at least try to be correct
Great, great, great, stuff...thanks for sharing.
Please please more from this tape if you have it!!
