RIP... my old friend ... David Valentin on flute.
Ritenour continues to be an influence on my playing 40 years later ;-)
Mr Valentin had a great personality on stage as well as being a fantastic musician.
Its a litte sad that he wants to be saxophonist in first place instead of flute player
@@Mike77154 He was a talented man for sure. He originally started out as a percussionist which explains so much - why he played the way he did.
Damned good keyboardist also. We all used to get together in a friend's basement on the CrossBronx Expressway; some absolutely great memories right there. He was a good friend and mentor who introduced me to some amazing players and did so much to put the jazz in my then heavy rock styling.
Is that ernie watts on sax?
@@josephmoss8680 áno.Ernie Wats.Skvely jeden z najlepších saxofonistov.Milujem túto muziku jazz Lee je neskutočný.Najlepsi!!! Abraham Laboriel je môj miláčik,tie grimasi asi čo hádže keď hrá.Proste jazz je najlepšia hudba ziad
This is an amazing Rio Funk version, this was shot 29 years ago and it's still one of the best. I was learning this tune when I was studying in the guitar college in 2004
Insane level of musicianship.
Right on! Of the myriad versions of that song I have seen/heard there is only one that I dig as much as this one. I'm talking about Lee's 2009 performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival, a very energetic blues-rock-fusion rendition. This one in Montreal sits closer to its Latin beat origins but there's already an undertone of something heavier in it. Nicely done.
Whenever I watch a group of musicians playing complex but amazing music together, it just blows my mind at how they are so perfectly coordinated from start to finish; their timing absolutely perfect all the way through. It's as if all their brains are wired together.
And not just for one small piece that you can fight hard to memorize, but an entire album spanning over 50 minutes, every small detail taken care of!
So very true , I’ve often wondered the feeling of jamming together like that . True ‘masters of their craft’ 🎶🎶
Exatamente é uma sincronia incrível 🎶🎸🎷
Telepathy
@@denisitele ㅐㅏ
This is quite possibly the funkiest jazz band performance ever captured
Holy crap , is this what heaven sounds like 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
I'm a 1963 👶 and love the music today just as it was yesterday and more TOMORROW
yes!
Dave Benoit on piano is phenomenal!!!
Enourmous piano solo! The great David Benoit!
It's underrated. I can't get eough of how funky it is!
8:27 8:34 8:36 8:38
こんなすばらしいライブ今まで見たことない！！ありがとう！
GRP was my first ever concert. I was 4 years old and saw them at the Circle Star Theater, San Carlos CA around his time period. I still remember Lee entering the stage like it was yesterday. Amazing group. Abe is an absolute BEAST!
Look at the sheer feeling and emotion from the soul that comes out through their instruments! Pure feeling is what makes a great musician. What an electronic atmosphere they create! 👏
all of them MONSTER MUSICIANS but….Abraham Laboriel ? WOW !! Out of this world
damn! why does it have to be so good!!!!?? it causes euphoria!
i bet my ass this's been one of the best jazz concerts ever in history!
Top 10 funkiest videos on youtube...
This makes it.
one of my favourite songs, ever!
the bass layer is amazing
That line Abe was playing at 7:30 was absolute fire, not to mention that pocket the drummer was in. My favorite part for sure and I love this song through and through.
I just love how the spirit of Abe Laboriel's solo changed everything. I'm so glad that drummer joined in and he coined in properly. Not many people reach Abe's age and none the less can do what he do while doing what he loves to do. This guy is truly a blessing. And to my ignorance I actually didn't like him or his playing. Since then, I've grown as a respectable musician and see why he plays why he does. He plays how his soul feels...like a child with candy in one hand and a toy in the other :)
Abraham Laboriel, ¡orgullo mexicano!
un fenomeno
Just awesome performance. These guys can jam. Musicians excellence.
Awesome number that Rio Funk...
I really miss Dave Valentin.
Also, so many great musicians here, too many to mention by name.
Credits should be given on videos.
Watched this in 1992, was a good tv show back then.
And it's hasn't aged a bit! A real classic jazz performance.
Killer bass solo. Abe is da man!
Abe does not stand still.
What a great bunch of muscians.!!!!!
Abe Laboriel is just such a wonderful player.
And that kid on stage with him - Ritenour? - might make it some day. 😂 😂
On the serious side: Rio is a fantastic album.
ever ask yurself,why I just hearing this now? Oh I like many hear know Lee,but all this...wow....Thanks Martin for reminder!
Look what happens when some one is having fun and they share. Blast the funk turn it a loose' no mercy take the roof off the sucker. Thanks lee you got the BEAT shouda seen my feet. Ultra cool space truckin.
Ah those Yamaha Recording Custom drums from the late 1980s.....Best performing drums ever( along with Gretsch Broadkaster )
It must be MAD fun to be one of the musician in the band!!!!!
Dave was something else. Such a great composition and a fabulous band.
One of the best Rio Funk's on TH-cam!
To bad there was no energy on stage... smiles. EXCELLENCE. WOW!!!!

R.I.P. Dave Valentín :(
Aguara Guazu I only heard through a friend this wonderful flautist had passed I felt very old and mortal, but thank you for all the music Dave still got all my GRP vinyl to listen to R.I.P Dave
It was a great loss to the jazz world as a whole and to Latin jazz in particular (both when he died and when his first stroke left him unable to perform). But the music he made lives on. It was a great treat for me to find this video of him performing with Lee Ritenour today.
Too good. Bloody classic ritenour n friends!! 👍🏼
Spectacular ! Oh how music was filled with Life back then :>)
My favorite version of this. Dave's flute, Laboriel's crazy dancing bass, and of course Lee's prowess on his own tune@
Transcendental interpretação 🎶🎸🎷 sincronia perfeita 🎶
Lee and Abe... while not forgetting the very very talented band, "match made in heaven" incredible stuff here my friends! Rio Funk Y'all!
Abraham Laboriel ... Lee Ritenour .... O MY GOOOD !!!!!!
When the Divine gives you a gift, you work hard, give your all, blood, sweat & tears & stay humble… this is the product… timeless divinely inspired straight to the heart
M U S I C 🤩
Magnifico Lee Ritenour, como también ernie Watts. Sensacional video!!
So much fun had on stage.. Well done boys.. And abe omg you are the masta
Damn, look at that line up!
GRP ruled back then.
Yes they did
Love my smooth jazz music!
this stage is exploding with talent and FUNK!
This video is the best Rio Funk. I have watched 1979 version with bassist Marcus Miller, 1985 version with GRP, and the other. God bless you
Abe, I wonder if this man everget angry. All the videos I've seen him, he's always smiling and enjoying that bass. I saw him in Johannesburg with Lee and Patrice Rushen. Enjoy your bass old man.
If you'd ask him, he'd tell you that it's the joy of the Lord!
Super bad! This is one my favorite songs, done with perfection.
Super badass!
Amazing fabolous perfomance.
Victor Wooten mentions Abe as one of his influences, saying Abe was doing a certain technique way before other bassists
Slap. Marcus Miller also mentions Laboriel as a pioneer of the style.
@@shanebarbermusic True indeed. Wooten being a full generation younger than Laboriel it makes sense that he would've been influenced by the latter when he was still growing up. In the case of Miller, he (Marcus) said Laboriel was an inspiration of his dating back to his pre-Miles Davis years. I reckon he's about 20 or so years younger than Laboriel. While Miller sometimes plays slap it almost always has funk overtones as it sits well with fusion. He's also somewhat more aggressive in style while Wooten seems to prefer the fundamentals and smaller bands, often trios.
I watched this exact show on TV and decided that Bass was the thing for me :-) Started to buy all Kononia LP's i could find - Nick Beggs and Mark King helped a lot too.. Later Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
I had totally forgotten this track, then it popped in after taking a stroll thru snarky puppy Lingus, it takes me straight back to uni getting blazed up with friends, what a laugh that shit was xD
Lee Ritenour - All Class.
Never stop playing :')
holy CRAP. absolutely amazing.
the most badass version of rio funk!

Wow😂
all GRP players was in golden age, great to flash back
Incrível, não canso de ouvir e ouvir novamente...
Abraham! is my all time fav!!
Fun fact: few brazilians, even cariocas (Rio citizens) know this song. Most of them because the Gm intro was the opening soundtrack of an TV GLOBO educational program: "Telecurso 2º Grau".
Nice to see/listen Dave Benoit in this tune too!
i saw Lee in Java Jazz Festival 2009, he's still awesome!
I love this song!
Off the charts.
am amazed so great!
Rit nails the Laboriel bass style at the start! Nice work on that. :)
What a performance!
