This is pure gold, the best live rendition of the best RGE's tune imo, the solos, especially Casey's one and especially its beginning and ending are mind blowing
having this be what comes out of you when you let all your energy out through this conduit, expresses their purity and depth of relationship to whatever the hell music is
Eddy Segev If you do not find anything special well there's no accounting for taste... I saw some 4Play group videos. You're amazing sax player.You all play well. However 4Play group bassist also often out of tune. Also missing something in your music,about lack swing. "What good is melody, what good is music If it ain't possessin' something sweet? Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music There's something else that makes this tune complete Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing..."
Amazing talent, ear sex at its best...I just wish they would use less of the TalkBox FX on the singing parts...It's more distracting than the overused auto-tune warp FX
The audio engineering in this is kind of booty. Like I know to be open minded about things but Ive seen these guys play in other venues and man do they sound amazing. This a very dry and ticky sounding production and there are a lot of just technical imbalances. What suites them better is a sort of more open ambient luscious type of sound. If it's just me, then it could just be a try at something different with this group. I mean I guess so.
Maybe stop jusging them on a 320kb rendition of their music and try to feel the core message and emotion, you may have to use your experience in jazz and music to make up for some of the imbalances.
Normally I really love casey benjamin's work, but I think his solo here is just way too long. He loses me halfway each time I listen to this (other than that perfect) track.
+Michiel Celis agreed, it gets a little stagnant at some point... I think maybe glasper took a quick nap or something? idk the rest is so amazing it's hard to complain
The more you read a book, the more you find out about it's story and importance. Same with people. The more time you take to actually delve in to this group of musicians, then you will see what is special. I mean there is a reason why people love listen and watch his stuff. His productions, collaborations, etc. It's all on you man, and how much you actually find out about the "book".
@eddy segev wow, I am no Jazz historan, but I know good jazz when I feel it.. The greats of the 40s, 50s, 60s 70s did not focus on perfection, but it was about getting that raw explosive emotion out of the body any way possible, they knew that focussing on 'perfection' is a limitation in itself as there is no such thing as 'perfection' (so why waste time on it). Who knows, the Soprano player mitgh have just been having an off day, maybe he just didn't care about the rules of perfection, ah well... Sounded good on my end :)
Why are you even discouraging musical expression? Whats wrong with you? Do you think music is a special club where only those that play mathematically perfect have merit?

"What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music
There's something else that makes this tune complete
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing..."
This is not mixed very well. I had a little shock when the sax entered the chat.
Panpan pémram bambom

Anyone else getting JAMES BLAKE vibes here, unsure what song, but when he sings in the mic with that Vocoder early on, I'm getting Blake vibes.
Names the lighting tech but not the band😒
Who cares if he auto-tunes, the sax playing is stellar.
He's not AUTO tunnig, he plays own melody line, he's vocoding with keyboard control.
Pity how bad the vocoder was...
Drummer boi working?!

Sorry, cant find what is so special in this pianist. The Sopran player is out of tune. Not impressed.
