New York State Of Mind / The City - Mark Almond (HQ)

From the record "To The Heart"

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

The vibe takes you to another place, another time, another state of mind. Peace out.

[@darby6955]

Long decades ago, this album ran non-stop for 2 days in that old open farmhouse. Man, you should have been there! Man oh man...

[@zeroohms369]

i saw these guys in 1975 or 76, in memphis, tn., at a club called "yosemite sam's". great sounds!

[@wes8043]

Doesn’t get better. No matter where you are, listen to it in a dark room and you’re there…

[@mcthistled]

my favourite version of this Billy Joel classic

[@magikoflove]

my favorite version as well....

[@judysykes3656]

Mine too! I’ve been looking for this version.

[@bobbywolff1274]

...well - here dey is! 🍎

[@thecapetownjazzscene2485]

Yep - Its Moody and Poignant and such a touch of sadness - plus great Fender Rhodes work too - Peace out!

[@kariskjerseth8818]

mine too took it on the run with me in 1976-77

[@written12]

Mark-Almond knew the soul of a Fender Rhodes.

[@FrankieFile1]

The whole album is fantastic, especially the Billy Cobham on drums songs.

[@janepowers6711]

Still in my top music list & has been in for decades🌷

[@Tuila1000]

Love thIs version better!

[@chrisstark1365]

It's my favorite at well with no disrespect to Billy Joel. Without him, we never get this far.

[@OssMan25]

Speaks to the genius of Billy Joel, whether you prefer this version or his. A great song!

[@ftlpope]

Actually the best version is by Ben Sidran.

[@daryllawrick976]

Fender Rhodes played the way its supposed to be played...

[@frankandjudyinserra5964]

Just the best, man. Makes you want to float away. Used it to open a documentary short I was involved in many years ago.

[@kariskjerseth8818]

yep floating away

[@astrotone7928]

Hauting and emotional. Love the sax solo

[@magikoflove]

You are listening to the finest sax player that ever lived, Johnny Almond. RIP Johnny Almond....

[@gregthornton4209]

saw them do this live in an acoustically designed opera house. nothing like it before or since.

[@dixonqwerty]

Absolutely amazing

[@TheSeren75]

For me, the best

[@GregBowders-sw4ei]

Finally a reason for Google's existence, instant gratification for tired, old men

[@seqouiaflame]

WHO YOU CALLING OLD, POPS?!

[@skitto41]

A mellow one!it will cool you man

[@paulharris9360]

Absolutely me too it’s far superior 👍

[@rsmyth75]

Jazz lives!!

[@jblcva]

They do this live oh so good....

I have the vinyl copy of Best Of Live The Mark-Almond Band. New York State of Mind/The City is 22+ minutes and is the entire side 2 of the album.
I can't find where this was recorded. The audience applause sounds like the performance was in a small, intimate venue.

[@jimmydburrell]

Absolutely killer version of New York State of Mind. The definitive version if you ask me or Mason "Rocky" Stone.

[@serenalee2187]

Awesome!!!

[@craigdill6457]

Real vox, no gimmicks, love it. Modern noise blows

[@JasonKavetis]

[@Guncalled]

You take the Billy Joel's vidéo with lyrics, and it's perfect...

[@finserra1]

Prefer this to Billy Joel's original - any day.
