The Nearness of You - Larry McKenna, Tony Miceli, Matthew Parrish, Dan Monaghan (2018)

Absolutely wonderful, beautiful and magical! 🎷🙏🎷🙏🎷🙏🎷

beautiful

This is GOOD jazz!

All I need to do is tune in here to take in Larry’s tunes and it fills me with new inspiration to play and pass on the blessing.

As they say jazz is all about the feel and these guys have it in spades. Thanks for sharing, just beautiful.

He really knows how to slow it down. So many players are off to the races all the time but this cat really gets it.

Simplemente maravilloso traspasa mis sentidos!

What mouthpiece does he use?

excellent musiciens au service d'une des plus belle ballade du jazz :) super

Magical! Thanks, guys!

Simplesmente divino, sem palavras.

Puro opa hunen😮

Sax ténor whaou

Love the sound of Larry backed by vibes

Que bonito sonido feeling

I always have to play this song, every time I'm online. Larry McKenna! Larry is 82 I think on this recording.

Play it now, Larry McKenna. The nearness of you! on that horn!

I'm 73 and just started playing. Just maybe there's hope for me...

🙄💚🌺🍀

Now, this is my jam. Larry McKenna!!! Baby now!!

I spent many an evening in LA Jazz supper clubs & piano bars & this is what I'd hear from the best of the best musicians & Great American Songbook gold nuggets such as this Johnny Mercer "The Nearness of You" with I believe lyricist Ned Washington

que hermoso sonido.......una miel para el alma

I love Larry McKenna! pure and simple. His jazz is exemplary

Sweet love melody 🥲

Vilken känsla! Underbart

85 years old in 2023, I'm just saying. Born in 1937. How many players of jazz today can say they have played for the amount of years that Larry McKenna has played? Just asking!
He's 79 in this video!

where dat Drummer?

Una absoluta delicia 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋

Now, Larry is looking you in the eye! told you right there.

Larry is telling the young boys on vibe and bass, this is how you do it!!

See the look in Larry's eyes on homeboy on the vibes. Larry is not impressed.

браво!

All I feel and hear is his beautiful warm heart coming out from that horn ❤️.

Vibramos de emosiones agudas y bajas con el sentimiento que, el Sr. MACKENNA Y GRUPO nos comparten.
Preciosa música jazz.

Larry McKenna plays this song the best of all musicians, yesterday and today.

A very sensitive performance. Mastery.

What a blessing it is to be able to listen to him play!

My opinion is, will I be doing what I love to do at 80 years old, with the same precision as I did when I was 40 or 50? I can't say that for sure. Not too many people can. Only a few people can sustain their greatness for many years. Larry McKenna is one.

If any of us can do anything that impacts the world or music at 81 years old, it's a blessing. Larry is blessed and fantastic horn player.

YESSSSS LARRY MCKENNA!!!

Larry ain't playin on that sax!

Larry is not feeling the vibe player. Waiting for him to finish

then Larry turned it over to the vibes

II just love watching him play.

81 years old, still playing his soul!

jazz. jazz. jazz. Larry is one of the best every playing.

ピアノなしのカルテットは珍しいですね

Larry's jacket looks like it came straight from the drycleaners! Quite a few cigarette butt burns in it and red wine and pizza topping stains on it would be more in keeping with the sleazy mood of the music.
