Ray Brown Trio feat. Regina Carter - Lady Be Good

It's time again for the Ray Brown Trio to entertain you, this time Ray Brown is joined by Larry Fuller on piano and George Fludas on drums. Together with them they feature Regina Carter on violin. Regina Carter is swinging hard while the trio backs her up with a nice steady groove.

Enjoy this video clip with the Ray Brown Trio feat. Regina Carter playing Lady Be Good.



The jazz standard Oh, Lady Be Good is written by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin in 1924.

Summertime: Ray Brown Trio

Today it's Midsummer nights eve, which is a big holiday here in Sweden. What could be better fitting for today than to feature a version of the song Summertime. Summertime was written by George Gershwin for the opera Porgy and Bess in 1935.

In this video clip Summertime is performed by Ray Brown Trio which consists of Jeff Hamilton (drums), Gene Harris (piano) and of course Ray Brown (bass).




Great stuff. Both sweet, dramatic, groovy and swinging. Make sure you catch the bass riff that starts at 3:40 from the end (since YouTube videos counts down). Man, if I were a bass player I would steal that directly.
