    Man, everytime I come back to this video I'm reminded how fucking tight the drummer is. That synced up soloing is such a groove, he's an absolute master in producing a beat and the kit is tuned beautifully and mixed so incredibly well, all of the band is. Live perfomance mixes have come such a long way in the last decade and it's excellent to see. If I ever get back into sound engineering & running a desk in studio or concert, I hope I can keep up the new bar of incredibly tight and balanced mixes & masters that engineers have been pumping out over the last 6 or 7 years as the old guard have finally stepped down and appointed talented fresh blood that have a better grasp on the technology & access to better gear & environments.

    • @browncoat697

      It's nowhere near as spontaneous because it doesn't have the same focus on improvisation, but progressive music gets you plenty of that freedom and lack of repetition. It's progressive death metal but go listen to Ghost of Perdition by Opeth - it's a goddamn musical journey.

    After noticing this was at the proms, I just have this picture in my mind of somebody going to see a night of classical music and seeing this :D

      It was a "late night prom" so it was a bit looser but there were a lot of people who stuck around from the classical prom earlier and had their minds blown (myself included). The BBC coverage was so sneering towards Leo P it really annoyed me when I re-watched it, though they did make the fair point that Charles Mingus (the prom being a tribute to him) would've probably wanted to thump him!

      @@swalsh91 He had the crowd on their feet, in fairness to him. The Proms is usually pretty tame, prim-and-proper, but Leo had them mesmerised and they just went along for the ride. Music is *supposed* to take you away like that, and jazz especially! It flows from and speaks to the soul.

    "Honk with pelvic thrust" - "Return to frog" - i imagine it is a multiplication of joy - Leo likes to dance while playing - The Audience likes to watch Leo, enjoy moving while playing - You enjoyed notating Leos Moves (i bet!), i actually enjoyed seeing this in the transcription - somebody might even find joy reading this... :-)

      Keep it up man, currently in hs band as alto, and it’s worth it. If you can, get into jazz as it unlocks a whole new world of fun
