They should give this track "Meditation" another name-I put it on and settled back for what I thought would be a lovely few minutes of peaceful relaxation while focussing on the breath going gently in and out,but within 30 seconds I was up and dancing around like a madman-my feet and legs just wouldn't cooperate!
As effortless as Gene’s playing, it’s just as natural to binge-out on his playing day after day, album after album, song after song. Brilliant supergrandmaster. Respect.
Man alive, you aren't kidding! I knew of him, knew of his playing... but have never before heard the man shred like that. Not a wasted note, either, everything made musical sense. I'm stunned, amazed, really....
EVERYONE OF THESE GENTLEMEN ARE EXCELLENT MUSICIANS. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED MR. DREW'S DRUMMING. PEOPLE WHO PLAY DRUMS HAVE ALWAYS FASCINATED ME. THEY HAVE EVERY PART OF THEIR BODY WORKING SO HARD. BOTH HANDS, WRISTS, ARMS, FEET, AND BACK ARE MOVING. AND, THEN THERE ARE SO MANY CYMBALS AND DIFFERENT DRUMS TO PLAY. IT TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE TO SOUND LIKE THESE MEN DO. A GREAT BIG THANKS TO ALL OF THEM FOR SUCH GREAT JAZZ. SYLVIA! HUGS TO DREW!!!
I cant believe how good Jim Mullen is and that ive only just heard of him!!!! The band is brilliant but i love jazz guitar and in Jim we have as good as you can get!
Stop listening to Hendrix and Clapton and extend your musical vocabulary It's not to say they are not good .....but you will see how the jazz guys do it ,and how they explore the chord sequences and find so many more possibilities to play .....its Jazz ...ITS SCARY AND MIGHT MAKE YOU A BETTER PLAYER......GOOD LUCK ON YOUR MUSICAL JOURNEY 1🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
You see all these videos about guitar technique "hold your pick like this, use alternate picking, blah blah "and this fellow just uses his thumb and sounds phenomenal. I love his playing its like he is singing it all. Brilliant.
MR. HARRIS IS A GREAT PIANIST AND I AM SO GLAD I FOUND HIM TWICE IN ONE DAY! I MUST ADMIT I AM VERY particular ABOUT DRUMMERS. MARTIN DREW IS EXCEPTIONAL ON THE DRUMS. I LOVE HIM! ANDREW CLEYNDERT IS GREAT ON THE BASS AND SO YOUNG TO BE PLAYING LIKE THIS! I NEVER CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THIS INSTRUMENT IS PLAYED. AND, JIM MULLEN IS JUST FABULOUS ON THE GUITAR! JUST A WONDERFUL GROUP OF MEN. SYLVIA! 02/03/2021
Saw Jim and Andrew plus 2 others (Martin Shaw and Mark Edwards) in a little "Jazz Club" (back of a working man's club) in Shepperton last and they were great. Jim at 71 still has the most fantastic playing ability and long may it continue. He also took the time to have a chat with my 16 year old one who was the youngest person there by some 34 years (after my wife). Would recommend seeing him play if you get the chance.
it's been three years, time to comment. Everyone is great, but JIM MULLEN's solo is ..........(I have not the words)....I listen to it over and over and over. 3:18 to 4:59, 3:18 to 4:59, 3:18 to 4:59............
What else can be said, other than 'I'm totally blown away by this group' at this festival. Their London version of this song leaves out guitar & base solos, stunted drum solo, all about gene instead. Sad, what made this piece work was each & every solo. I get chills everytime I watch this version.......like no other. Hope it remains on TH-cam until I join these guys somewhere else.
Jim Mullen !! His playing should be celebrated all over the world. Here he is is in the finest company and his expertise just shines out. !!! What a great player. - Hats off to you Sir.
What an absolute pleasure... I certainly didn't expect to hear one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard when I clicked on this video. Utterly joyous! :)
Great performance by all. Particularly pleased to discover Jim Mullen with this quartet... I used to catch his gigs with MorriseyMullen, what a great soul band that was! Thanks for posting palanzana!
If I closed my eyes, I'd think it was the Oscar Peterson group I say in Chicago on my honeymoon in 1953. Thank you for introducing me to them, You Tube.
+barbara Massey I couldn't agree with you more. He certainly plays with the same crispness as does Oscar. Big full sound, adroitness, refine dexterity. I think he's underrated.
Gene Harris has always been underrated. He has similar chops to Oscar with an accessible, warm blues decoration to it all. He's been my favorite jazz pianist for nearly 30 years. And he left us far too soon.
Swings like a nuns knockers. Jim Mullen is an inspiration to us all and Gene Harris is incapable of not swinging . Who needs medication when you can listen to this Meditation.
this is a great quartet.what can you say about the wonderful martin drew oscar loved his playin.praise indeed from the boss.gene one of the great piano players no doubt.so sad we dont have them now.there contribution was huge.jim is still playing some great jazz..one of the best guitarists around.many thanks.
This song is on the wonderful "Another Night In London", the followup to the great "Live In London" recorded at the Pizza Express in London in 1996. His European quartet was second to none!
Wow that gives me hope! not too old yet to start woodshedding again! amazing playing by the guitarist Jim Mullen, and of course the rest of the band! Gene Harris is of course one of my fav's, always will be!
Masterful, tasteful, over-the-top. What wonderful energy and dynamics. I know that this was performed and recorded many years ago, but thank you for making my day!
Jim Mullen es el relevo de Wes Montgomery con esa técnica particular de tocar con el pulgar, algo que muy pocos guitarristas dominan. Saludos desde Honduras Centro America.
god bless martin and gene two WORLD class players.we all miss them.nothing can replace the joy they brought us thro there playing.jim mullen is in the same class too a very underated player and one of my favs.dont worry andrew been there done that l.o.l.
the late greats gene harris and our own martin drew and of course mr jim mullen a terrific jazz guitarist.gene and martin kept top company all there lives and are sadly missed by us all.many thanks.keep boppin jim.
i know and i had the pleasure of sitting in with him once many years ago at the bulls head in barnes happy days i wish i could do it all over again evan though i never reached the level of jim musically.nearly 80yrs old now i listen but cant play anymore.jim mullen is as good as it gets when it comes to guitar.as the song goes.nobody does it better bop on jim.many thanks.
Well, dick morrissey was my step dad so I grew up with these guys ;) But man, they really could play, and you're right about Martin always keeping fine company, and I remember that Dick always enjoyed both his company and his playing.
Those treble strings just love a bit of soft thumb, don't they? Wes liberated so many guitarists by doing it 'all wrong'... which paradoxically has now become 'all right'... Superb playing all round... though it has to said I didn't get much meditating done!

The original Jobim version is much more meditative.
Brilliant and Jim Mullen plays a blinder on this .🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Explain "blinder" please.
An old expression meaning brilliant. Today the equivalent would be awesome , iconic , legendary and other silly words.
Joyous insanity at the highest levels - DIONYSIUS IS drunk without wine- every player - every note leaves me speechless
Hi! I see/hear a parallel between your own phrasing and that of Mr. Mullen.😊
As effortless as Gene’s playing, it’s just as natural to binge-out on his playing day after day, album after album, song after song. Brilliant supergrandmaster. Respect.
Wow, Jim Mullen has thoroughly kicked my ass and I love it! Tremendous player and thank you Jim for the lesson!
Yup, he just destroyed me with that solo
Jim Mullin! I was honored when he came to see me play in London!
RIP Gene Harris. One of my favorite pianists of all time. Great performance by the whole group. Such great energy!
This is the cleanest, clearest, most perfect jazz I've ever heard !! This is what this medium is ALL ABOUT, soup to nuts !!!
I agree you can hear the Peterson infludence
Perhaps you should get out more.
Came here to hear Gene Harris - and found Jim Mullen ... what an unbelievably great guitarist!! Fab post - thanks!
Yep, exactly what I was thinking:) The Jim Mullen is phenomenal!!
Agreed. Very fine guitarist and a find for me too. Saw Gene Harris in SFO in a club, and that was memorable as well. Wonderful pianist.
The drummer is kinda cool too
Jim Mullen self taught as well, super talented lovely guy
Man alive, you aren't kidding! I knew of him, knew of his playing... but have never before heard the man shred like that. Not a wasted note, either, everything made musical sense. I'm stunned, amazed, really....
Nice. Performed just a year and a half before he left us! RIP Gene. You were the best.
EVERYONE OF THESE GENTLEMEN ARE EXCELLENT MUSICIANS. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED MR. DREW'S DRUMMING. PEOPLE WHO PLAY DRUMS HAVE ALWAYS FASCINATED ME. THEY HAVE EVERY PART OF THEIR BODY WORKING SO HARD.

Watched it many times and still blown away. Mullen! Well, such great ideas and HEART! Martin Drew...amazing , Gene....what a band!!!!
I cant believe how good Jim Mullen is and that ive only just heard of him!!!! The band is brilliant but i love jazz guitar and in Jim we have as good as you can get!
Stop listening to Hendrix and Clapton and extend your musical vocabulary

Dear Gene Harris. And What A Group . Great Stars All. Especially The Wonderful Jim Mullen.
It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This !. Marvellous ! x .
You see all these videos about guitar technique "hold your pick like this, use alternate picking, blah blah "and this fellow just uses his thumb and sounds phenomenal. I love his playing its like he is singing it all. Brilliant.
Wes Montgomery-like.
What a group! Gene Harris... amazing.. Jim Mullen.. on fire.. Martin Drew a perfect drummer.. and that swinging bass from Andrew Cleyndert!
So sadly missed. One of the greats. RIP.

Jim Mullen is Scottish and among the greats that can equal the best of American players.
Gene always seemed to hire the best of the best to play with him. What a great musician he was.
Gene Gene the swinging machine! And Jim Mullen is amazing...what a great sound.
Never get tired of listening to this. Music at its finest.
Mullen .....the great school of Natural gifted Musicians . Up and Above .He always
adds a magic touch !
This is perfection!
Jim Mullen is something else!
Wow! That guitar solo.
Incredible rendition of that wonderful bossa.
Absolutely fantastic!
Your Dad could really swing. He was one of the best and made it look so easy. I've always love his playing. A truly great musician.
Blues and Jazz pianist extraordinaire Gene Harris. We sure miss you Gene. Thanks for the post!
Jim Mullen,i just heard him this new year Jan 1,'21...and I just became his new fan👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

incredibly good and joyful. And Mullen rocks so much...
*WONDERFUL MUSIC & MUSICIANS*
Thank you for posting this video :-)
It is such a joy to read the positive comments while listening to such .............well, I'm now speechless.
World class...all of these Masters in their own right...musically superb..sophisticated ,melodically all the way through..They gott it all!!!
it's been three years, time to comment. Everyone is great, but JIM MULLEN's solo is ..........(I have not the words)....I listen to it over and over and over. 3:18 to 4:59, 3:18 to 4:59, 3:18 to 4:59............
Wow. The forward motion is stunning!! As it should be. Great bass player. Locked and loaded!
Ive watched this lots of times..and it still gets to me...... What an exciting bunch of guys!
What else can be said, other than 'I'm totally blown away by this group' at this festival. Their London version of this song leaves out guitar & base solos, stunted drum solo, all about gene instead. Sad, what made this piece work was each & every solo. I get chills everytime I watch this version.......like no other.
Hope it remains on TH-cam until I join these guys somewhere else.
That was awesome. I too just discovered Mr. Mullen. He got that Wes thumb cooking.
PS. Love Jim's quote of "I Remember You" on very first notes of his solo !!
There are at least 2 other quotes, both at the start of a section.
Jim Mullen !! His playing should be celebrated all over the world. Here he is is in the finest company and his expertise just shines out. !!! What a great player. - Hats off to you Sir.
He knows how to play, doesn't he? Up there with Joe Pass.
That claw hand is lethal
Love it - great solos from everybody!
What an absolute pleasure... I certainly didn't expect to hear one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard when I clicked on this video. Utterly joyous! :)

+barbara Massey He version of Trieste is very tasteful [Gene Harris Trio-Trieste].
Gene Harris has always been underrated. He has similar chops to Oscar with an accessible, warm blues decoration to it all. He's been my favorite jazz pianist for nearly 30 years. And he left us far too soon.
Swings like a nuns knockers.
Jim Mullen is an inspiration to us all and Gene Harris is incapable of not swinging .
Who needs medication when you can listen to this Meditation.
Jim Mullen recorded a song, with the chords to Meditation, and called it Medication.

Thanks, the man is a legend.
Man that is so very NICE. Great playing, great tone!
this is a great quartet.what can you say about the wonderful martin drew oscar loved his playin.praise indeed from the boss.gene one of the great piano players no doubt.so sad we dont have them now.there contribution was huge.jim is still playing some great jazz..one of the best guitarists around.many thanks.

Unbelievable session ...
Some nice Jim Mullen too on guitar!..Makes me think of the late Dick Morissey, one of the greats of British jazz.
Alle-fantastisk bra, Mullen sinnsyk flott solo!
Terrific drum solo, drums sound tuned, lots of snare and tasty cymbal, also not too long, just enuf to want for more!
unbelievable group of musicians. Thank you for posting.
This is a masterpiece! Thank you for posting.
absolutely infectious !!!!!!!
Wow that gives me hope! not too old yet to start woodshedding again! amazing playing by the guitarist Jim Mullen, and of course the rest of the band! Gene Harris is of course one of my fav's, always will be!
What does "woodshedding" mean?
@@11hoosier11 Practicing
CLASS all the way through!
And the best drum solo expression i ever seen.
The drummer is Martin Drew who did extensive work with Oscar Peterson, Niels Henning-Pederson, and Joe Pass.
brilliant
He is the best drummer I've ever heard!
Holy 3 holies!Jim Mullen gorgeous lines
Jim, you are sensational on the guitar! Well, any guitar actually! And an unusual picking style as well.
Insane Guitar and Piano playing...............Wow
Great post , fabulous playing 👍🎶
Great!!!! Mullen is incredibily..*****

Masterful, tasteful, over-the-top. What wonderful energy and dynamics. I know that this was performed and recorded many years ago, but thank you for making my day!

There's hope for me who is all fingers and thumbs on strums! Gonna get my thumb on the job cos Jim's inspired me AGOG!!
great.loved this.
Großartig
Superb in every department.
Some of Mr Mullen’s finest noodling.
Well observed comments on Gene and Jim. The late Martin Drew. Just great.
Absolutely Great!
Those treble strings just love a bit of soft thumb, don't they? Wes liberated so many guitarists by doing it 'all wrong'... which paradoxically has now become 'all right'... Superb playing all round... though it has to said I didn't get much meditating done!
Super Jim Mullan
Go Martin! Great playing!
Jedi Guitarist!
great guitar solo, great team

Super , incroyable , un swing du tonnerre
this guitar I do appreciate....
simplemente excelente, me encanta! !
gorgeous

Bass player hits that groove bang on!!
Whoaa, nice beautiful tone !
gene harris is great for anything. Even the best change may be playing a bossa nova to samba.
