I went to Wyandotte High school with Norman and he asked me to play piano for the jazz band when the pianist got sick. I was a classically trained violinist and pianist but he taught me how to play an awesome "funk" beat! I am looking forward to seeing him on the next Smooth Jazz Cruise. He was awesome when we were teenagers and I love listening to him today!
I love me some jazz boxes ,looks like he's playing a D'angelico .As a trumpet major and guitar minor ,I can comprehend his techniques ,excellent use of octaves and comping . He's keeping the spirit of jazz alive !God bless them all and special thanks for forging your own unique style .
There's nothing wrong with sounding like Benson. Any guitar player that has ever attempted to learn a Benson song knows to have yourself even remotely compared to Benson isn't a bad thing at all. It's an accomplishment. Norman Brown is da man!
This is my first time listening to Norman Brown.... It is also my first time knowing about him. My uncle who is older than him was just telling me what a great player he is and that as a teenager Norman was showing him licks..... Awesome!
Without a doubt, Norman Brown has international appeal. His talent crosses cultural lines. His fingers are fast, they seem to defy normal guitar playing. He is taking the George Benson, Wes to another level, today.
Norman Brown is an excellent artist and jazz music genuis guitar player .He is known to be effected by George Benson's style and he says that Mr. Benson is his hero.He is a master.
BB King once said that he likes to play a riff than pause before playing the next line to give the listeners time for it to sink into their ears and minds. Norman Brown is my favorite post-George Benson guitarist but I always thought he over plays a lot, it's like he feels he has to play a riff in every bar of every song. Besides for that this dude will hopefully one day get recognize for how great a talent he is....great licks and very smooth playing.
I agree, I saw him at the Jazz festival when he formed BWB. That was one of the best shows I had ever seen. When I saw him last year it was not the same Norman Brown. He needs to get back to instrumentals which won him a grammy.
God DAMN, Norman did his thing! He is the man! Sorry.... I'm partial to guitarist. I tried to be one myself. Learnt my lesson and stuck to trumpet and piano. (but I'm going to keep trying trying .....guitar is the most beautiful instrument in the world to me).
Back in my better guitar days, I got into jazz and decided to give it a shot. I picked up After The Storm, and dug in. What was I thinking… I’m still working on Any Love twenty years later…
Norman is my favorite artist in the world. me and my wife recently went on a jazz cruise. where you actually get to meet shake hands and mingle with greats like norman. He is one of the sweetest good hearted people that you will ever meet. God Bless you norman. Your friend - Ray aka scooby chain.
Love this music I grow up on this my mom played this type of music all the time I Hated this type of music but now I love it thx you mom for showing me good music
Al Black: there is room for all to be who they be and plenty of people to appreciate it....But I do get your point, I prefer to play riffs just like Norman Brown but I also now understand when people exposed me to the concept of (K)eep (I)t (S)imple (S)tupid....I wanted to learn how to riff through the whole song first much like Charlie Parker could when he felt like it.
@GigglingGirI I want to see you top Norman Brown. That mans a Grammy winner and still creating music. I can't wait to see your performance and get your cd.
as you see I did the same thing. in fact when B.E.T. Jazz was on the air I was always looking in the TV guide to see when it came on. I was already into George Benson, so it was a no brainer to like Norman B. I was still learning how to play the sax and I would always learn from guitar players and keyboardist like oscar pererson for example. I like that free flowing melodic style both instruments are capable of delivering if they are in the right hands!
You need to look at another vid here called 'Norman Brown How I learned to play guitar'. He acknowledges and pays tribute to Jimi, Wes and George. I can hear traces of all three in this song too. All guitarists are influenced by others. Saying Norman is ripping off George Benson is like saying Benson ripped off Wes Montgomery. Norman definitely does his own thing. Open your mind and your ears.
Obviously he does to all of us but, he is older now since this video. I am going to see him in Seattle on the sixth (Friday next week) and hope to post some nice videos of that concert.
To play with this kinda speed and accuracy is absolutely phenomenal. Wish more people appreciated jazz guitarists
A
nd to be able to scat sing note for note while playing.
I LOVE JAZZ....Norman Brown is AMAZING.
Trust me, he’s VERY appreciated!
I’ve been on Norman Brown’s bandwagon for years (I mean ‘decades’).
They are my favorite guitarist
EXACTLY RIGHT!
Standing ovation here!!!
I am absolutely AMAZED and feeling blessed to have had the pleasure of listening to this. Long Live Norman Brown!!!
I’ve seen Norman Brown play live twice. And those were the best two concerts of my life. This man’s talents are immeasurable!

I've seen him live in Vegas...he was playing the outdoor concert and I was playing G Funk Jazz at the outdoor entrance to the concert
@@jamminjoeus so kool to be a part of it! I saw him here in Washington state. Such a treat to the ears!!
Listened to many guitar instrumentals, haven't seen one like this. Completely blown. 🥰
BB King once said that he likes to play a riff than pause before playing the next line to give the listeners time for it to sink into their ears and minds.

Yes well said 💯
Great feeling ! Nice playing!
,
very great guitarist Norman- I sometimes wish to see him playing with Nathan East from 4 play, Peter White and Bob James
yeah..he's great!!
He should have been more clear on the opportunity
Pure joy! thanks so much Norman
Norman Brown, learned from Wes the great Montgomery, and George Benson taught him how to play. Read his bio.
Seriously? He reminds me of the great George Benson! Amazing
I never knew that! I just said my granddaughter, that he sounds like George Benson. Wow!!!
yeah he be jammin! I'm a sax player and it's guitarist like this that keep me focused being able to play as smoothly on the sax
I agree, I saw him at the Jazz festival when he formed BWB. That was one of the best shows I had ever seen. When I saw him last year it was not the same Norman Brown. He needs to get back to instrumentals which won him a grammy.
