Is it me or what? A smooth Jazz legend, perhaps one of the best Jazz guitar players on the planet is giving a free concert and nobody is paying attention or cares?! WTF
@ Fatma Hures...The depressing thing is that a lot of people aren't actually appreciating a fine musical performance because they are often rather ignorant. Most people are however, often taken in by guitarists who pull poses and strut around stages even if their playing is quite poor.
I met Norman Brown at Summer Storm in Phoenix several years back. What an amazing dude. This dude makes you feel at home, very inviting. One of my best Jazz players.
I just noticed for the first time that all this while my favorite part of the track was just him tuning the guitar while playing! That's the beauty of jazz. Like Miles Davis said, there's no such thing as a wrong note!
I’ll always remember that week he was at Musicians Institute while I was a student and I always meant to bring by my copy of his CD. I finally got around to it and he had left. Great guitarist
The Way the Guys in the background are acting is Simply showing “Hate”. How can You not be Amazed at what this Great Legend is doing. I can’t stand “Haters” like that, im sure there’s other reasons they’re not paying attention, but I won’t get into that...... Lot’s of “Haters” in this World. But that was Awesome.👍
I like how the people in the background are having a conversation, but you can see how they're progressively aware that this guy is smoking this tune. Also, he had some bad tuning on a string at the start. I think he did a quick adjustment at 1:25 or so and fixed it without skipping a beat.
If I happened past this booth, I woulda stopped and been like "Wait....is that?....hold on....it can't be....but IT IS!!"....Then I woulda bout fainted.....then I'd just stand there and enjoy this unbelievable moment.
Got the AR580CE-BLU brand new for a crazy deal on eBay for $750.. Been looking for one for over a year. They usually go for around $1000-1300. They're such great guitars .. definitely try and get your hands on one to at least try it out. Solid archtop with a nice tone
hamburger helper I think you missed the point of the other comment. Guy sees and hears Norman Brown playing and acted as if Norman was a nobody. Guy who walked out clearly didnt know Norman Brown. Even if he didnt know Norman how can he not appreciate the playing by a great guitarist. Some of these white suits are totally clueless. It's only about $$$ to them. WTF!!!!
PsycOtic ReacTion What????. Think again..dont believe me go pull up some of GB tapes, recordings and videos...GB is unreal and a totally different cat. To me its no comparison. Norman plays smooth and R&B jazz..GB plays....well...check for yourself. Norman is great but better than GB?..not hardly.
You may be playing after the love is gone, but that doesn't apply to me, because my love for your music is going nowhere! ....and remember! They that are for you, are more than they that be against! God Bless!
A true genius surrounded by people who are busy doing the networking grift. lol He's brilliant. His guitar playing is an instrument/vessel used to reach out, yet everyone walks past him. Sounds familiar. Personally I'd stop dead in my tracks just to bear witness. The guy at 4:14 looks suspicious. He thinks he's spotted something. lol
Are those people the walking dead or tone deaf. Why come in the store just to BS. Listen to some quality music instead of the main rap crap and third rate musicians. No emotion at all. Damn
Those tone deaf MFs are sales execs at a music equipment conference (NAMM). They dont lnow shit about music and only care about closing the next big deal. They dont even know who Normam Brown is and they could care less. Sad what has happened to the music industry.
People behind are from another planet
Two words: Norman Brown! Enough said.

As Joni Mitchel wrote ... 'For Free' .
Absolutely agree. Such a great performance & no one is paying attention.The people there must be DEAF 😯

Welcome to NAMM
It's NAMM - it's all about cutting deals....
Simply one of the best jazz guitarist
Of all time .

The legendary Norman Brown. Amazing!
Norman gets to give all the new guitars a real test drive. He's in a serious relationship with this particular blue one. Awesome.
Got all this man's cds...he is ever so talented and takes music to a higher level
A legend at work.
Looks like an on the spot jam, no rehersal. You can tell he was still finding some chords and also tuning the guitar. Amazing guitarist👏👏🙏
I’ll always remember that week he was at Musicians Institute while I was a student and I always meant to bring by my copy of his CD. I finally got around to it and he had left. Great guitarist

No, we're simply surrounded and outnumbered by idiots.
I like how the people in the background are having a conversation, but you can see how they're progressively aware that this guy is smoking this tune. Also, he had some bad tuning on a string at the start. I think he did a quick adjustment at 1:25 or so and fixed it without skipping a beat.
He's inside a music store. You got to adjust to what brand guitar you pick up, but make sure it's tune to 440.
If I happened past this booth, I woulda stopped and been like "Wait....is that?....hold on....it can't be....but IT IS!!"....Then I woulda bout fainted.....then I'd just stand there and enjoy this unbelievable moment.
Beautiful Play through, shades of George. Excellent
Norman is a genius!!
Blue guitar for a blues tune! After love has gone there is always MUSIC! 🎸🎼
He played that so beautifully.
Tough song to make sound good. Norman does it perfectly!! Love it!
Love me some Norman Brown...so smooth like butter effortless🌬🌊
What a talented man. Awesome.
smooth rhythm , brother. bless your God-given talent! regards from the Philippines.
I CAN BELIEVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG HAS A SAD NAME
That's what makes it so all of those things, though. Beautiful, sad, beautiful again, happy, inspiring, wise.
I love it..no studio gimmicks 🔥🔥🔥
PURE GENIUS!!!
Such a great player. And a great guitar. Eastmann is producing very nice instruments. I bought this model
Eli A what did it cost you if you don't mind?

One of my favorite EWF songs.
That's like a free concert, not sure why people are just walking by. If I was there I'd be sitting in front of him and watch til he leaves the place.
They do not know good music
They have zero clue as to where they are, frankly. It happens to us all.
not only aren't many paying attention but if they were at a concert they'd be yakking with their friends about where they had lunch yesterday ...
¡Excelente! Bella versión y gran interpretación. Felicidades Norman 🇲🇽
Man, that groove! So smooth.
I love you Norman Brown😘😍❤
Wonderful!
beautiful rendition!! genuine maestro!!
Great performance! Thank you for sharing.
Omg. . absolutely incredible. . . smooth.
just like me i want to stop by and want to listen to a beautiful music
I got all cds and i feel happy to hear all his songs
Guys at the back talking : man we need to stop.. this guy is nailing EWF
0:19 that man in the back quite visibly fell in love at that moment
1:00 the lick
those dudes in the background are souless !
Lo mejor de lo mejor del smooth jazz, el tío Norman.
I wish I had the backing tracks he's using ! Norman is one of my favorites.
Sou do Brasil, gosto muito das musicas de Norman Brown
Ribamar Gonçalves somos 2

Norman is the Sh#t. Love him!!! Maurice would love it!!!
Tune it up doc! Oh oh D-Dub strolling through at 4:15
i wish i knew how to play like that word...that's awesome!!
man walks in, sees Norman Brown cutting, walks out... WTF?
hamburger helper I think you missed the point of the other comment. Guy sees and hears Norman Brown playing and acted as if Norman was a nobody. Guy who walked out clearly didnt know Norman Brown.

Stormin Norman!!💚

Thumbs up if you too also noted that Hot chick walking past @4:38 . I did pause video to check her out
I kind jumped to 4:38 myself..
hahahahah
Модель! Очень красивая!
love it.
WOW!! I love his phrasing, timing, when to lay back, use of octaves, etc. George Benson ain't got nothing on Norman Brown!!!!
PsycOtic ReacTion What????. Think again..dont believe me go pull up some of GB tapes, recordings and videos...GB is unreal and a totally different cat. To me its no comparison. Norman plays smooth and R&B jazz..GB plays....well...check for yourself. Norman is great but better than GB?..not hardly.
George is Norman’s mentor.. As well as many other jazz greats..
awesome!
that is crazy cool..... i woulda been like oh shit that's norman brown!!!
Imádom Normant.... De a gitár hamis.. 😢
linda performance!!!
Norman Brown eh fera!
This song always seemed off beat to me, but yet just impeccable timing somehow, he manages to play behind the beat amazingly.
Amazing wow....
Bravo man.
❤
You may be playing after the love is gone, but that doesn't apply to me, because my love for your music is going nowhere! ....and remember! They that are for you, are more than they that be against! God Bless!
Most of the people in the shop think its a stereo or radio playing not live guitar
The best guita 🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥🤗🙌🏾👀💥
wow
good stuff!
The guitar was not prepared, obviously. But yet the music is still goooooood
Dayum!
When is the next Eastman show? Will Norman be there?
Love their playing these songs with such feleings
AMEI!!!!

Love that he's playing the George Benson edition....we all pay tribute to our heros!
This is his own rendition

AT NAAM Anaheim CA The Eastman Guitar Booth
I can't find Nomans model on the Eastman website.
Anybody know what guitar is he using there ???
That’s his Eastman Guitars Signature Edition
Robert Glasper makes an appearance @1:43
Good on ya Norm keep them quessing....lol
Does anyone know the name of the guitar?
its an Eastman Guitar
Eastman AR580-CE
Invitaría amablemente a las personas de atras a abandonar el lugar!
A true genius surrounded by people who are busy doing the networking grift. lol He's brilliant. His guitar playing is an instrument/vessel used to reach out, yet everyone walks past him. Sounds familiar. Personally I'd stop dead in my tracks just to bear witness. The guy at 4:14 looks suspicious. He thinks he's spotted something. lol
Man, at least tune up to the background tracks.
Why don't you show him? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What's with the fake background? Not needed.
Are those people the walking dead or tone deaf. Why come in the store just to BS. Listen to some quality music instead of the main rap crap and third rate musicians. No emotion at all. Damn
To be fair all, those are all professional artist. NAMM invitation only. They aren't shading Norman, they are just casual there and respecting his set
Those tone deaf MFs are sales execs at a music equipment conference (NAMM). They dont lnow shit about music and only care about closing the next big deal. They dont even know who Normam Brown is and they could care less. Sad what has happened to the music industry.
What the hell happened? Where's my baby?
That's another way to play guitar to just play the words to the song.
