Live at Montreal International Jazz Festival 1990 Larry Carlton - giutar John Ferraro - drums John Pena - bass Greg Mathieson - keyboard Hollis Gentry - saxophone
When we were dating my future wife and I were driving along PCH in Laguna to this song. We turned up 133 and went to the Laguna Bowl where LC was performing. (I had it set up) When she heard this song she was blown away. We eventually married and 29 years later we're still listening to it. We still have Smiles and Smiles to Go!!
Very cool! I remember when I first heard this song in the late 80s. Smooth jazz on the radio was such a pleasure to listen to. IMHO, Larry Carlton and Earl Klugh would make an impressive high class guitar talent combo.
What 22 people didn't love this master performance ! Why ? This gentleman is a legend on Guitar played on over 100 gold Rock albums . Plus he's such a great guy to meet live ...
I recently started getting into Larry Carlton's music. I wonder why I did not starting listening to him sooner. This man is an absolutely amazing musician.
My dearest friend, who passed 20 yrs ago this Aug. 13, loved this son from my collection. We adopted it as his theme song when he was still DJ ing yrs ago. I miss him so much. ( His name was Richard). This was a real comfort at a most difficult time. I'm jealous of the angels 😂
I been a friend of Larry's and fan since the late 70s why would anyone not like this acoustic performance?? Like really to all that thumbs downed this I would really like to hear you play guitar?? I bet half of you or more can't even tune one! He's a mentor hero...
We had to come up with a name for our wellness walking team at work...I suggested "smiles and smiles to go". Told them it was the name of a song they most likely never heard of. They asked if it was on youtube and I found this. He just got 6 new fans. This was the first CD I ever bought back in 1986. Loved it then...love it still.
took me almost 20 yrs to get all the changes .once i learned a bunch of new chords , finally i found the mistery chord in bracketts starting with the 4 chord - Cmag7 , ( F9/ C to Cm7 ) , Bm7 , A #mag 7., A minor 7 , b minor 7 , A#mag 7 , then the modulation to D#11 to G#mag7 2x ,then A mag7 F#minor7 to D minor 7 to G11 , C minor 7 to F minor 7 . ,A minor 7 , B minor 7 , ,A #mag 7 , D 11 , BACK to G mag7 . that was a few years ago now , Larry knows his way around his changes flawlessly. i did,nt have a chart for this , i had to really listen , it was a bugger for sure .ok enjoy
1610austin music theory has always fascinated me. But I also kinda like these things to still be a mystery to me, makes the music a lil more magical to me
Love this song. It is so lively and the group is really in sync. When I first heard it on air, I immediately phoned the station to get all the details from the DJ. From then until now I still love LC on the track and thank the DJ.
I love this song, but the bubble shuffle is still my favorite song of his. I still have to laugh after all of these years, but I started my love of his music and jazz in general when I used to work in SeaWorld here in Florida and they would play both songs I've mention on loop. Lol. I totally thought he used an electric guitar on this song until this video. lol
Not only does Larry have truly legendary talent, but I've caught him live many times, and he's about as nice & down to earth person as you will ever meet! Toss in the fact that he IS a guitar legend, and it's twice as amazing... The best! And this song? Please! The last couple minutes are a clinic!
This is one song that can't help but to make you feel good. I've never seen LC play it live, and after seeing him do so, he plays it just how it feels.
One of my very favorite songs of all time from any era or any genre. The ultimate groove topped with guitar riffing as only Larry can do it! Met him at various shows. Super approachable, as nice & down to earth a guy as you could hope to meet! He'll actually just hang out & talk w/o the 'Help me escape" look to friends/mgnmt or the constant watch staring! Saw him w/Lukather, caught both sets that night. Insanely good & fascinating seeing Luke so respectful of him! Ahhh, the day's not so bad now!

The 'guy on shaker' is the late saxophonist Hollis Gentry lll, an amazing player I grew up with. I'd like to find more tracks from this concert, where Hollis gets a chance to blow.

Still my hands down favorite smooth jazz song after all these years!
One of my favourite guitarists since he played with Steely Dan and Crusaders....Wonderful performance from a legendary guitarist
Been listening to this song for 36 years and had never seen him playing. Absolutely fantastic!!
How not to drool watching this? 💖
38 years for me. This piece always takes me back.
@@cherylkavanagh3387 It just has such a positive and uplifting feel to it, it always brings a smile to my face. 💖
@@selfloveisthekey Same here!
What 22 people didn't love this master performance ! Why ?
This gentleman is a legend on Guitar played on over 100 gold Rock albums .
Plus he's such a great guy to meet live ...
They are televisions live form of the Walking Dead, everything working but the Brain, really.................
The thumbs down people are people that wish they could create something as beautiful as this.
I recently started getting into Larry Carlton's music. I wonder why I did not starting listening to him sooner. This man is an absolutely amazing musician.
I was hooked the first time I heard this on a Washington DC smooth jazz station back in the 90's. At age 77 I am still groovin to this gem
I just love watching him play guitar. So effortless.
My dearest friend, who passed 20 yrs ago this Aug. 13, loved this son from my collection. We adopted it as his theme song when he was still DJ ing yrs ago. I miss him so much. ( His name was Richard). This was a real comfort at a most difficult time.
I'm jealous of the angels 😂
Красивую музыку создаёт Ларри, солнечную, добрую.👍🌞☺️.
Discovered this when my husband & I were 1st dating. Love it! 😍
This tune seems to have the effect of putting me in a state of mind where the world and all its problems seem to melt away by the end of it.
Yes it does. Its magic, it takes you to a better place and makes one feel good. So simple.
Mar.2: Happy birthday Jazz guitarist Larry Carlton. Badazz. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, ALEXEY0678. Blessings

The reason Steely Dan's albums sounded so great. Plus so many others. Pure talent & ability
A beautiful song for all seasons.
The man is a national treasure..Also survived a shooting in LA and laid down many soul stirring licks for Steely Dan and Donald Fagen

Memories and memories to go 😘
Play this when your feeling blue. Your welcome!
An amazing inspiration to so many players of every genre. LC's sense of melody and choice of notes are uniquely his own.
This is a cool Song I haven't heard it in years..
This is a great song on the road driving my big rig, chewing up the miles, getting through the work day. Always made me happy!
I agree. I'm a trucker too.
Never seem to get tired listening of this number for the past 20 years or so.

Such an amazing version of this song! I got goosebumps!
Wonderful theme, wonderful strings.

I love this song, but the bubble shuffle is still my favorite song of his. I still have to laugh after all of these years, but I started my love of his music and jazz in general when I used to work in SeaWorld here in Florida and they would play both songs I've mention on loop. Lol.
I totally thought he used an electric guitar on this song until this video. lol
i don't understand why someone wouldn't like this video (?)

THIS IZ BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
Has been my inspiration as a player for about 25 years.
One of my favorite jazz songs
Love this tune, it will get anybody in a good mood!! Rock on Larry!!
People there it doesn't matter if you like it or not it's just life and we appreciate it appear like just born Amen 🎉
I love it! I grew up with this song!
Snapple facts play this everyday
They use to play this all the time when I worked at Golden corral in 2001 lol
This is one song that can't help but to make you feel good. I've never seen LC play it live, and after seeing him do so, he plays it just how it feels.
Larry Carlton is my fav gat man of all time, he's versatile as heck!!
The great.
Gerald from Brazil.
Thanks for uploading!
He was encored 4 times back in 2004 Bangkok Jazz festival!!! That's what I call quality music.
One of my very favorite songs of all time from any era or any genre. The ultimate groove topped with guitar riffing as only Larry can do it! Met him at various shows. Super approachable, as nice & down to earth a guy as you could hope to meet! He'll actually just hang out & talk w/o the 'Help me escape" look to friends/mgnmt or the constant watch staring! Saw him w/Lukather, caught both sets that night. Insanely good & fascinating seeing Luke so respectful of him! Ahhh, the day's not so bad now!
Larry is simply silky smooth on this song, nothing finer than Larry's licks....damn!!
SUCH an amazing song/performance. I'd LOVE to see what Larry could do with Classical Gas.
Great track from the underrated Alone But Never Alone disc!
could listen to this for hours
