I've seen all these catz live at one time or another in my wild & cazy dayz. Thank God. For those who can let's give a big and I mean BIG thank you to Tarrence Love of Steamers Caf'e the Premier jazz of OC in California. Closed now but thanks for the memories Terrance
WOw. My respect for Mr. Benson just went through the roof. I'm pretty sure I played in the string section for him up at one of the casinos in South Tahoe.
George Benson could always play. Often took a session like this for folks to realize how good he is . Hasten to add that Ron Eschete takes a back seat to no one. Two great guitarists ... no question.
Thank very much dear Mr. Escheté, I think I enjoyed it as much as all the band did, this "Trio Format" and special guest sounds like an orchestra, all great virutosos. Best Regards from Ecuador!
Back when people listened to music, instead of sitting there with everyone else in the audience, filming it and living their lives outside of the present they should be experiencing.
OMG...... Ramon Banda?!??! I didn't know he played kit. He's one of the most ridiculously fantastic timbaleros, late of Poncho Sanchez' band. This smolders and scorches. Some of world's most talented players right in front o' yez.
IF this is Ron Eschete's channel.... I can't believe what a great stumble-upon this is! Ron, I loved your playing when I lived in Long Beach in late 70's. I was going to meet you eventually, my uncle Don Geraci was a jazz drummer and turned me on to your amazing-ness :) Orange County Rhythm Machine ring a bell? WOW...... 40 years later. Don had a small studio in town, supplementing my Electronic Music Production and Radio Production courses at Long Beach City College. WHOA.... just noticed the 2006 date on this gig :) Punctuality not my forte, obviously :)
Yes. I played with the band in the '70s. I remember Don, too, and his wife also used to come to my gigs. Also, I think Ramon Banda is the best timbales player in the world.
Joey is just a downhill locomotive with no brakes, he just rides the wave makin it bigger and bigger, wow what a player, does he do the bass from his feet? Mr Escette love your playing and your kool!!!!
This is the type of high quality content I love TH-cam for, not all that shitty clickbait shit. Those guys really know how to groove. Thanks for sharing :)
Your right, wasn't his guitar........was out of tune when he received it......tried tuning while playing...........also ,RON is a incredible master on guitar also
When two great comedians get together they enjoy and laugh with the other. I don't think Ron Escheté felt insecure in the least. It was mutual admiration ....
His guitar was definitely out of tune when he started his solo, but being the great musician he is,he took it in his stride and played a brilliant solo and showed Ron this is how we do it. Great stuff
and joey went right to his key too!!!! if you listen good, as soon as Joey finished his soloing, he went straight to Fsharp..... They were playing in F!!!! Pure genius!!!!
For me George didn't tune the guitar perfectly ....and in a second tune ( "I'll drink to that ") the guitar was still slightly out . Perhaps bad strings or unprepared instrument ...HOWEVER ........even with a sauce pan those Greats can swing and play the craziest beauties .
Okay so- 😂- here’s what happened with the guitar tuning- when George plugged in, he tuned the guitar to the root note of the song, F…that’s up a half step from normal guitar tuning. Consequently, when George then went to PLAY in F...it went from being an F blues, to an F# blues. Joey has perfect pitch, so he followed right away! Hilarious and amazing, and incredible playing by everyone!!!
+Paul Croteau You are so right. I will see if I can change, but it is also posted to Facebook. The original DVD listed the tune as Ah Leu Cha and I wasn't paying attention.
Yes, thank you. I edited the basic information for this video with the TH-cam video manager but it has the same URL so on Facebook it doesn't change in the posting. It has a lot of shares, likes, and comments so I'd rather not delete and start all over again to get a new URL. If someone on FB clicks on the TH-cam URL the corrected title is there.
Notice that Benson (almost) tunes up during Joey's solo... but it doesn't matter...after the first chorus of Benson's guitar solo... .he steals the show ....even playing a slightly out of tune guitar....! Takes a great player to do that!
Absolute proof that mistakes are irrelevant. George being a little out of tune and the trading fours being a little shakey at the end. This performance kicks ass, who needs a tight arranged band when you got guys that could do this. This drummer Ramon Banda practically slaps you in the face, he's such a bad-ass. Think I said enough.
Best moment is when George starts tuning during Joey’s solo😂
Wow! Escheté and Benson get together. Awesome.
..... and Joey D. 👌
RIP Joey great clip
what a solo by ron , pure perplexity

Lovely ❤
i can barely imagine what a night. this is rons super human era of playing
Benson don't even need a guitar to blow us away. Everyone played awesomely!!
Joey says to George in the end, “You might wanna tune that guitar 🎸 .” LOL 😆
Absolutely superb! Love it.
The Greatest Jazz Organ Player in The World...Yeah Mr JDF.
George Benson is one of the few singers that can play exactly what he scats.
biff studded Def not my favorite. Talented but also too smart..
George Benson is a master listen to him play bagpipes on his guitar it's amazing, fuck your too smart shit you jealous boy
That's probably why he plays so beautifully...
It's rather the other way around, but great in any case!
WOw. My respect for Mr. Benson just went through the roof. I'm pretty sure I played in the string section for him up at one of the casinos in South Tahoe.

Ron Eschete so awesome!! loved this. And that drummer damn...
Ramon Banda -drummer extraordinaire
Ron is a national treasure! Monster guitarist - as swinging as any of ‘em.
Ron is only one of few that can go note for note with George Benson.
George gave Ron his props.
Yes man! you swing Mr Ron Escheté !
I always come back to this video! Love hear Benson cookin’ hard on this!
Amazing solo Ron! Always loved your playing. Special mention for Mr Benson who makes an out-of-tune guitar sounds in tune!
With the incredible and unforgotable Joey DeFrancesco. Great combination: electric guitar, drums and Hammond's organ!!!
What an amazing guitar solo! One of the best guitarists on the planet!
Ron Escheté is awesome! This is really cooking....

Nothing better than watching the best of the best digging each other.

This smolders and scorches. Some of world's most talented players right in front o' yez.
This is the greatness of jazz. Together from no where and still in perfect unison
so great,..all of you
RIP Joey D 🐐
Haha. What a hot clip. Met George, real gentleman, been chasing him since Body Talk around 73.
Really missed your open counseling at MI Ronnie!!. All the best!.
IF this is Ron Eschete's channel.... I can't believe what a great stumble-upon this is!

Des géants qui pourraient épouvanter, mais qui offrent un plaisir fou. Bravo, et merci à eux !

Awesome video. I’m a fan of all.
Great music, what talent they have on this stage...Loving it from Baja Mexico. Keep it coming folks.
If George Benson was watching me...I couldn't play a note.
yes that's true for me also lol
Likewise!🎸
I want to know what Mr. George Benson adds to his wheaties.
Benson is really great, take any destructed guitar untunned and play. Master.
Your right, wasn't his guitar........was out of tune when he received it......tried tuning while playing...........also ,RON is a incredible master on guitar also
He makes a sound no matter which guitar you use
Ron's so humble, would have liked to see the back and forth between him and George,
Great musicians!
Majestic musicianship!!! Love these musicians!
What a treat, high praise, from George
very tasty solo by Ron
Nice, killin it Ron!!!
I would shit my pants if i had to improvise under George's stare
When two great comedians get together they enjoy and laugh with the other. I don't think Ron Escheté felt insecure in the least. It was mutual admiration ....
Wow!!! Saved, Thank you!
Ron’s solo was great!
Tears in my eyes...too funny...
George is King )
GB one of greatest of the 20th and 21 th centuries.
Mr eschete please release an album
A triple dose of jazz
Esto es excelente,mejor interpretacion no se puede esperar.
GREAT SOLO RON ESCHETE!!!
His guitar was definitely out of tune when he started his solo, but being the great musician he is,he took it in his stride and played a brilliant solo and showed Ron this is how we do it. Great stuff
and joey went right to his key too!!!! if you listen good, as soon as Joey finished his soloing, he went straight to Fsharp..... They were playing in F!!!! Pure genius!!!!
What's toonin? Magnificent.
great job
WOw! thats jazz!
IMPRESIONANTE!!!!!!!!!
JESUS THANKS! KINKS IN OUR MIST! ALL OF THEM!
You were Swingin Ron
George was a singer way before he took off on the guitar thanks Jack Macduff and Jimmy Smith. Jimmy Smith told me that he told George what to to play!
The Great Mr. Benson made an out of tune guitar sound better than a guitar that’s in tune! Great Guitarist, Mr. Ron/ Great Organ/ Great Drummer!!!
Save that tiger? During Joey's Smokin hot solo, love that !!
Straight from the gate, !!
Now he doesn't even have to carry his guitar, even better!
son maestros
open c-sharp-tuning with minor 3 at the top.....
someone get GB a tuner
Ima send him a Snark :D
Still sounds good even out of tune
George sounds better out of tune than most of us in tune jaja
If you play Blues on guitar facing George Benson .....you can ...if you play as RON ESCHETE !
For me George didn't tune the guitar perfectly ....and in a second tune ( "I'll
drink to that ") the guitar was still slightly out . Perhaps bad strings or unprepared
instrument ...HOWEVER ........even with a sauce pan those Greats can swing
and play the craziest beauties .
Okay so- 😂- here’s what happened with the guitar tuning- when George plugged in, he tuned the guitar to the root note of the song, F…that’s up a half step from normal guitar tuning. Consequently, when George then went to PLAY in F...it went from being an F blues, to an F# blues. Joey has perfect pitch, so he followed right away! Hilarious and amazing, and incredible playing by everyone!!!
Nice..... very nice.........
Swingin like it is 1964 at the Chicken Shack!
I guess when benson starting solo with his guitar, joey suddenly change the key from F to F#.. I'm i right?
3:25 guitar solo.
💿💿💿💿
ramon !!!
staddliadiii👏👏👏👏🤪🤪🤪
George didn’t have his guitar handy?!
I believe this is "Au Privave", not "Ah Leu Cha." Still smokin'. :-)
+Paul Croteau You are so right. I will see if I can change, but it is also posted to Facebook. The original DVD listed the tune as Ah Leu Cha and I wasn't paying attention.
+Ron Escheté You should be able to edit the video details using from within TH-cam. You sound fantastic, one of my dreams is to play with Joey D. :-)
Yes, thank you. I edited the basic information for this video with the TH-cam video manager but it has the same URL so on Facebook it doesn't change in the posting. It has a lot of shares, likes, and comments so I'd rather not delete and start all over again to get a new URL. If someone on FB clicks on the TH-cam URL the corrected title is there.
+Ron Eschete Congrats. Nice vid.
Blue Benson! Yeah!
¿Joey de Franchesco?
😍
Ron eschete
If that was me on the guitar it would like, heee haaaa heee haaa daaaaaa.....
what a brüller
8:37 The key change to accommodate the out of tune guitar Benson's playing 😅
back to Giant basics
Notice that Benson (almost) tunes up during Joey's solo... but it doesn't matter...after the first chorus of Benson's guitar solo... .he steals the show ....even playing a slightly out of tune guitar....! Takes a great player to do that!
Live Jazz NYC desafinado
It’s a crime to steal like that! I mean so effortlessly.
Joey quotes Tommorrow, Ron's laughing so hard he almost fell off his chair, monsters be here,
Something to do with George tuning up that. Solid body,
Joe a monster
🙂🤓
"Smokin" ......
Absolute proof that mistakes are irrelevant. George being a little out of tune and the trading fours being a little shakey at the end. This performance kicks ass, who needs a tight arranged band when you got guys that could do this. This drummer Ramon Banda practically slaps you in the face, he's such a bad-ass. Think I said enough.
omg the look on joey's face when gb starts playing that out of tune guitar. nothing makes sense :D
