Nice sax version but I was most excited when I heard the announcer say, "and our guest conductor, Lennie Niehaus". What an icon of jazz, jazz arrangers and musical scoring for films.
Even within the confines of a classically restrictive musical environment, Mr. Carter is able to curtain his pugnacious ferocity and present us a kind of gentleness that is akin to the touch of a baby's skin. Such are the capabilities of one whose creative insights, inspiration and dexterity are unquenchably unmatched - at this time season.
@@MichaelJohnson-yu3vo Much respect to you, my brother. Isn't it so nice to hear Mr. Carter over and over again as he preaches saxophonically with such musical clarity, confidence and, of course, effervescence? Certainly! Lohvissimo!
I honestly can't get enough of this song... I listen to it at least 6 times a day. I'm going to watch James Carter perform in Portland May 11! So excited!!!
Bella versión,aunque para mí gusto ,demasiada demostración de técnica que la hace fría;muy bello el acompañamiento de la orquesta y el clarinete suavizan la versión. Resumiendo:para los amantes de la técnica por sobre lo romántico,es mi modesta opinión. Recomiendo la versión de Joan Chamorro al frente de la Saint Andreu Jazz Band y como solista a Luiggi Grasso,mucho más modesta ,ya que se trata de una orquesta de adolescentes. Saludos cordiales desde Buenos Aires , Argentina 🇦🇷🌞
this whole program was great- awesome blend of legends with the young and upcoming cats of the time... someone needs to tap carnegie hall on the shoulder and remind them to give jazz a little tlc again!
This rendition is one of the most beautiful things I've experienced! I thank God for the ability to hear because of performances like this. Impeccable phrasing! The definition of lovely! Well done James Carter!
I've just finished uploading my 3 part video of James Carter at Newport Jazz from August 4th. He was well worth the trip. As great as this version of Laura is, for me nothing can compare to Teddy Edwards version captured on the Good Gravy album [Contemporary OJCCD-661-2]. A good friend of mine named his daughter based on hearing that Edwards version during her conception. Edwards' Laura is not on CZcams, but his smoldering version of Lover Man is. Carter is exquisite and carries the torch !
Conductor/Arranger Lennie Niehaus is truly a classic....In my estimation somewhat underrated, but a fabulous composer as well as a highly capable reedman in the very essence of the West Coast jazz tradition (not to mention an alumnus of the Kenton Orchestras)..this piece is reminiscent of the 'Mancini' sound which pervades my collection.......Oh, and incidentally, Carter is playing rather well himself.
Grande James Carter desde la primera vez que lo escuche quede sorprendido con el poder de su sax, su tecnica extendida es muy amplia digna de admiracion y uan pregunta a todos los señores musicos saxofonistas, ¿que boquilla esta usando James? ¿cual es la marca de esa boquilla y de ese saxofon ?

so much technique went into this... it's unreal... the scoops, the vibrato, the flutter tounging, the smears.. it's absolutely beautiful
Connor Teige + circular breathing
The thing that amazes me is how effortless he seems to make it. He has phenomenal control over the horn.

The riff on 3:18 to 19 and the "dirty" look of Lenny Niehaus after.
James Carter is a Maestro
I’ve been coming back to this recording for the past 5-6 years and still not tired of it
I've watched this over 10 times the past few days
Same !!!
"Breathtaking", literally and for real.
James Carter is simply the best saxophonist in jazz today.
One of*
With andy sheppard of course.
@@alexalex-om9np Your Andy Sheppard has nothing to say. Poor playing...

What an icon of jazz, jazz arrangers and musical scoring for films.
And let’s not forget that Lennie was one of the best Alto players to come out of the West Coast jazz scene.

Did you make it? How was it?

Is it just me or is the bassline just great? It goes really well with the sax and the orchestra.It's not overdone and it sets the rhythm well.
oboe + sax = awesomeness :D
his tone is amazing
I'm crying!
Every time!
Excellent, Fantastic melody and video, Thank you.

Such a great sounding sax.
Damn! This is sooooo sweet- Just beautiful!!!!
One of the best performances in history of jazz ... this tone..
Breathtaking! Thank you so much Mr. Carter!
Probably the best sax player today I would suggest, keep it alive!
James is a truly a master of both tenor and bari sax
And I mean he is crazy at alto and soprano as well
James Carter, you have total skill in producing amazing sounds from the Sax.Much success and be sure to share as you play it forward :)
Simply.........FANTASTIC!!!
Sublime.
Gets to the core.of your heart just lovely.
That bend at 1:32 just gets me every time...unreal
Goosebumps!
For me, it’s the bend at 3:08.
Que 500 000 vues! C'est l everest de l'émotion pourtant. Bravo james.
I love this guys playing !
Mesmerizing is the only word to describe this
Love this....I have heard this before. It was my moms favorite. It's a theme song from the move called " Laura"...I think in the 50's
James Carter and the saxophone were one and a harmonic exchange at 2:15. Beautiful.
An interesting version of the hit recording that was indeed powerful and soul wrenching .
HE is my third favorite of all time.
he brings the soul into music
The best performance of Laura I have heard.
Many thanks for your information and suggestion. I'll check all your comments.
Listen to the Don Byas version,James Carter's inspiration
@@donchrisby7434 Charlie Parker with strings, beautiful.
Bird lives! ...though James Carter.
What a beautiful introduction
Damn I'm in 😢 this is subtle and emotional and just exquisite Damn!!!! It's too short to me....
pure real music!

Impressionante. Som fenomenal
Smooth is Mr.Carter
One of many saxophonic peculiarities of Mr. James Carter, isn't it?
super super super ...music in its highest level

Laura, At Carnegie Hall ..
Amazing horn player
Anthony Mackie has to play the role of James Carter if there is a bio pic about him.
Музыка волшебная-хочется летать и парить высоко, высоко...
Fantástico....maravilhoso
Coisa linda.
MAn! he sounds like he came straight from the 50S .
