An amazing drummer. I am not some long time fan, I discovered him via CAN, which I had never heard of before. There is so much to hear from the past that is so much better than current music, I discover something new every week, even after nearly 50 years on this mad planet. This is the good bit of the internet, where you expand your knowledge of music and discover talent like Jaki.
First time I listened Mother Sky for a few minutes, but the next time I used lsd and listened to the whole thing just laying on the bed with closed eyes. It felt like eternity, like I watched a very long spectacular movie. I knew about CAN even before, but since then I'm a big fan of them. I dont have vinyl player yet, but I already got soundtracks LP for the future. Eternal glory to all involved in this music. Greetings from RU
No one commenting on the fact that his "kick" drum is an upright floor tom? Jaki, Trilok Gurtu, Robert Wyatt and Mo Tucker are the only drummers I've ever seen using this kind of setup.
I’m no drummer. But being an awkward person, if I couldn’t control my feet like a normal drummer can, this would be my solution. That doesn’t make their contribution to music smaller as I’m a friend of innovative compositions, but I wouldn’t include them in a list of virtuosos.
It's "Mother Sky" (from the movie Deep End by Jercy Skolimovsky (recorded July 1970). Taken from the album "Can Soundtracks" the second Album of the Can but not album no. two! "Can Soundtracks" means a selections of title songs and soundtracks from the last five movies for which The Can wrote the music! On this album is the long version of "Mother Sky" (14 min 30 sec).
not necessarily, it's enough to have internalized the kick of those drums from Mother Sky or Monster Movie once in a lifetime. i for myself had quit drugs when i came to cologne. around 1990 every weekend you could see Jaki playing live at Rhenania, and sometimes i thought to myself oh, not Jaki again, when he entered the stage, way past midnight and red eyes covered by sunglasses, but within 18 bars he had my sober brain under control. leaving was now impossible until the last beat was spelled. For me the beginners guide to Jaki ist Michael Rothers "Flammende Herzen".
i love his work with Can. he probably was one of the best drummers ever in his prime, but the way he played when he was old, without any pedals, thick drumheads, etc. is just embarassing. hard to belive it's the same man.
It's a highly disciplined and reductionist approach, like he decided at some point that he had to become more minimal than a rock drum set would allow. If you look at photos and listen to his classic Can/Holger Czukay-era drum sound, he made similar choices then, as well. Tuning, taping cymbals, etc....always modifying his equipment.
A criminally underrated drummer and a musical hero of mine.
best of all time imo
Yeas, saw him live two times in cologne. And the video is too criminally short
Jaki was also a great teacher to many generations of musicians like Helmut Zerlett, Manos Tsangaris and many more!
Agreed. To me Jaki, Bill Bruford, John Bonham and Neil Peart are the greatest of all time.
@@Zappo32 exactly! I'd add Magma's Christian Vander to that list.
If a Metronome needs a Metronome it takes Jaki Liebezeit.
Shout out to the time traveler that told him to play monotonous.
One day jaki decides never to swing again. and he did.
best drummer ever according to my ears RIP

@@hermask815 Jaki was well established as an exceptional jazz drummer before krautrock.
He was actually virtuoso class.
well, to be fair, Wyatt couldnt use his legs,, i dont know if he did the same before the accident. but i do believe its a django kinda advantage
R.I.P
Lucky to have seen them in London.
ich liebe diese musik immer noch....ich bin ein kind der rolling stone generation!!
Krautrock is fucking awesome!!!
You can say that again, my brother
The Drumming on Vit C is the key to the track/song. Far from monotonous - fantastic.

Never got into them
