My father(RIP) introduced me to Jonathan Butler and my love for Jazz music took flight. So many memories and no one does it like Butler. Great African tunes...
I heard, I knew and I fell in love with Jonathan Butler in the early years of my life. I'm South African and heard many genres of South African music but nothing comes close to the super talent of Jonathan Butler. I simply love this guy's music 🎶🎵 and I will always. His music lives with me throughout the years of my life.
About 10 or so years ago I saw him busking in the streets of the Rosebank Mall. He had about 10 of his buddies with him. The public threw him a lot of money, and every now and then he and his buddies rushed to the basement toilets for important meetings. I requested he play an Al Jarreau song, "Morning Mr Shoe shine man" that he played no problem. I did not know who he was, but I saw the talent and invited him to my recording studio, he did not accept the invitation, but mentioned his name, which I had heard of.😆
I pray that Jonathan IS a changed man. His talents are from God and I hope that he truly knows this. This is a powerful testament to our Heavenly father, amen?
Jonathan Butler is a Star and a Legend from his song 7th Avenue. He is indeed a South African Artist. I like his music and his soloing skills in Guitar. He is indeed an Entertainer.
Jonathan Butler is an amazing jazz artist he has the anointing all over him he can't help himself an I'm glad he bless my soul every time i hear him.20 members of my family and i went to his concert 1999 twice here in Atlanta like heaven🎈'"A Bad Boy"
6:28 destruction begins, Jonathan, George, drummer, bassist, destroy, people are in addition to their mastery and so harmonious and playable it's amazing. Thank you.
JB is just the most talented musician I have seen perform ... if I could only see one more live performance in my life it would be JB... 🐐🐐🐐🐐saw him live a couple of times and he just gives EVERYTHING no matter the size of the crowd ... swear he made a woman feint once in a San Antonio ballroom with his opening refrain of I'm On My Knees ...
His new name is FIT ALL. In Jazz, he is amazing, Gospel too, he is Annonted. Amazing and Beautiful Music. I'm a South African who was Inspired at young age by Jonathan Butler esp when collaborating with Kirk Whalum in Gospel According to Jazz. Keep it up Brother you are our Star. I like the Guitar now through your touch in playing Guitar.
Privelidge of meeting Jonathon in Cape Town, we were early twenties, saw him 30 odd years ago in London, first ever CD I bought, going home transports me back to happy days in South Africa, what a ledgend
Give this man a 5l Whiskey. I am lucky I saw his music career unfold right in front of my eyes. Gone are the days of cover versions of other top musicians because he is sitting right on top of them now. Bravo my man!
I've been blessed to grow up listening to the beautiful music of this uniquely talented and gifted musician. My all time favorite jazz artist. Love you Bro.
Absolutely Great!!! Always been a fan since my teenage years, very suave smooth, spiritual, intelligent gifted youngman and awesome band, good vibes, bless your family and all of you 😁💞🙌
I saw him perform in a club called Goldfinger in Athlone, Cape Town in the early 70's ....long before child labour was illegal and the signs were there...a star was born.
Who is listing in 2020 in this quarantine puts a like...
I am from Mozambique and I am passionate about this talent
