- Alfredo came over with his congas, and we had a terrific jam session, plus he brought several CD's of Chucho Valdes, who is one of my favorite piano players. This tune is called Black Orpheus (in english), after the 1959 Brazilian movie by the same name. The song was a big part of the popularization of samba in the US in the early 60's, and has become a jazz standard.
The recording of the piano and congas was done with a Rode VideoMic, which attaches to my camera. I added the bass and clave later. When I layered the video, there was a blank patch on the bottom left, so I added the cartoon to fill the space. I get a kick out of that cartoon.
Such a nice beat and so refreshing! Thank you guys!
I like the Latin groove here. A lot of people forget about that when playing this standard. Also dig the beginning piano lick and you keep that feel going the whole tune. Best arrangement i have heard of this in awhile.
Thank you.
Wow,,, amazing 👍
this is genuinely one of the best black orpheus takes ever. so so so good
You play this perfectly. What a wonderful music! I love it. ❤️
awesome...........................
very nice
Um clássico da cultura brasileira! Parabéns aos músicos
Desde CHILE LIBRE Y SOBERANO UN GRAN APLAUSO PARA EL PIANO Y BONGOSERO QUE HERMOSO TEMA UNICO SUBLIME
I had forgotten about this one - just re-visited it - amazing playing.
Lovely, and great conga playing. My conga teacher taught me this rhythmn and I found that I could use it in a variety of music, and gave the piece the lift it needed, anytime!!
Alfredo is actually playing a version of Son Montuno with his own flair to it. However, this is a Bossa Nova style song and I've played it both ways including a 6/8 jump from 2/4. If he played a Bossa Nova conga pattern it would have a different pulse and feel to the song. Listen to the clave which is playing a Rhumba clave pattern. If the clave pattern was in son the piano player would play with a different feel. This is what makes All Latin and African percussion music so interesting is because of the constantly evolving poly rhythms from the mix of styles. Afro Cuban is a perfect example. This video is a perfect example of what is possible outside of tradition. Well done!
Love these guys!
I have viewed this, and shared this, MANY times... it is simply delightful! I admire the prestidigitation, and the adept conga percussion, and adore the addition of Tom and Jerry! Simply brilliant, Thank you so much for years of enjoyment!
First comment I have ever received with the word prestidigitation in it! Your comment made me smile!
Beautifully done…

Just amazing to hear you both. The best version I've heard of this song. Thanks.
I have listened to countless versions, interpretations of this beautiful piece and your version is one of my ultimate favorites! You and alfredo absolutely killed it.. AWESOME! I've learned a few techniques from Al watching his great conga beat as well! Thanks.. I've listened to you posting here several times! CONGRATS!
I really enjoyed this one Tom. 5***** Great piano and conga playing. I agree that Chucho Valdes is an amazing player!
Grande !
So good
Great!!!!
Thank you.
我喜歡這種型態的拉丁鼓的音樂，節奏分明。
Love this!
Very good job with piano! Tom & Jerry was so funny :)
Tom was indeed a great pianist, but there will always and forever be only one Bugs Bunny, the greatest pianist of his day on the planet. I grew up inspired by Bugs, and subsequently started playing piano at age five. I am not even as good as Tom, much less Bugs. 7 Note Mode is my all time favorite now, but Bugs continues to inspire.
Klass!
Bravo! Maestoso!
Maravilloso
Thanks.

Great!
very very good!!!!!
Finally, another someone who plays it at this tempo! I was expecting a congo solo, but all is great ! haha
nice music.
Awesome bros!!!!
excellent...:)
Thanks.
Thanks erikisimo. I'm just starting to familiarize myself with Afro Cuban & Salsa. It's a challenge - very different than swing, but just great to play.
Felicitaciones ... Sigue así, la música latina es riquísima, especial, y de fácil llegada al público.
I also love the movie by Marcel Camus. I hope that you and your great conga partner will play all the other great tunes from this movie and post it here on youtube.
Thanks, mitoog. I appreciate it.
niece!!!
sick!
Excelente arreglo ... Felicitaciones ... ¿ Tienen la partitura ?
Fantastic...as always.
Cool
Thanks, petclarkie
i like :D
Best
hoohoo
nice
@sergeytry Thanks!
Nice playing and concept! I really like it. By the way, I think 2/3 clave fits in this song. Your montuno and the conga pattarn are in 2/3 clave, I think.
Por que tono la está tocando amigo?
It has that feeling! However, having such a great rhythm section as Alfredo you could afford being less rhythmic and choppy and bring in more lyric and melody in contrast to that rhythm. Two rhythm makers feel a bit redundant to me.
Having said that I do really thank you for your postings! I appreciate you as truly great musician. You have one of the highest "feeling and relevance per note" ratio among other pianists here.
bravo!!
I am waiting your disc...
@chackyjazz I agree. The clave is atravesada. Would have grooved much better in 2/3.
a very cuban version :-) good stuff
Really nice guys! Loved it! I wish i knew guys like you, to jam with. where is this from? =)
nice!!!- misspelled the first nice...
Who is the conga player? It is wonderful.
Any written transcription?
Sortry I don't do transcriptions. Thanks for listening!
I am crazy about their Blac Olfe. Pleas,Someone, teach me how I can get the score by which they are playing Black Olfe.I want playing piano too.
Here I play it with 7 fingers, purely by ear: czcams.com/video/ake3HubhnCQ/video.html
