- This is the final track from Album No.2 by Valeriy Stepanov Fusion Project. "Believe in Yourself" was done as a whole composition in fall of 2019 and played live a couple of times in clubs and festivals by Valeriy and his band till it was recorded for Album No.2. The track has a special guest - the legendary Eric Marienthal on alto saxophone. Thoughts about to have this saxophone giant on this track came to being long before the moment of recording even the demo. Steven Williams is a very professional and dedicated drummer. In Valeriy's records his first appearance was on Album No.1 on the track called "Voyage" and now it's first video of Valeriy & Steven. Also "Believe in Yourself" has tremendous horn section which concludes Ivan Akatov on trumpet & Ilya Chumachenko on tenor saxophone.
The video version of "Believe in Yourself" has some changes and adds comparing to the album version. Check it out and have fun! :)

Good God, that mix quality is astounding!
Valeriy Stepanov is the BEST jazz fusion keyboardist, composer and musician in the jazz world today. This guy is simply amazing. Lorber, Chick, Herbie - move over. There's a new sheriff in town. Untouchable. Congratulations, Valeriy - you're a genius on so many levels, on so many instruments. You've accomplished more than most musicians could ever imagine. I'm so happy for you! You have a wonderful career in front of you. Cheers!
Thank you!!!
@@ValeriyStepanov you’re most welcome! I’m the former keyboardist and bandleader with Cirque du Soleil “O” and a fellow jazz keyboardist for many years. YOU are the real deal. 👍😀
That's a bold statement to make. Had I never listened to Valeriy Stepanov I might try to mount a counter argument but i have heard much of Stepanov's catalog and so I say You are correct. Other keyboardists may approach Stepanovs technical capabilities, but they don't have his massive creative side. For context, I've been a keyboardist in both jazz and classical settings for over 40 years and I know of no one that is even close.
I concur!!! Beyond master level! Exquisite!!
Yeah wish I had chops like that, super. Its not merely chops either, very musical as well. Well it IS music after all :)@@jptaylor
Wow! Eric Marienthal! Happy to see you with Valera! 😎
Valery is this generation's Jeff Lorber...
@@markprater1 ... on steroids!!

It will be wonderful to watch this great track being made. Top musicians playing the last cut of this amazing album. Thank you Valeriy. Your videos give us a front row seat in the studio.
Браво! Очень здорово! Неожиданно и приятно видеть Эрика! Спасибо, Валера, Эрик и Стивен! Если есть где то джазовый рай, то Чик улыбается нам оттуда....
Настоящая ДЖАЗОВАЯ Музыка!!!
СОВРЕМЕННАЯ, ОЧЕНЬ КАЧЕСТВЕННО СДЕЛАННАЯ, ПОЗИТИВНАЯ, РАСКРЫВАЮЩАЯ МАСТЕРСТВО КАЖДОГО ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЯ!!! ПРЕКРАСНО ПРОДУМАННАЯ! СОЗДАЁТ ПРЕКРАСНОЕ НАСТРОЕНИЕ! ВСЕМ ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЯМ ИСКРЕННЯЯ БЛАГОДАРНОСТЬ! КАКОЕ УДОВОЛЬСТВИЕ НАЧАТЬ ДЕНЬ, ПОСМОТРЕВ И ПОСЛУШАВ ТАКУЮ НОВУЮ РАБОТУ НАСТОЯЩИХ МАСТЕРОВ.

Hey this is Steven Williams the drummer on this song!! Thanks for watching!!!
@@s_a_willi hi Steven! It's really cool to see your comment. We are waiting for you in the following wonderful collaborations with Valery
Это взрыв головы ! Супер особенно финал 🎉
Once again amazing Valeriy! Eric Marienhall, great to hear your horn again.
Cover? Personally, I wouldn't know of any original version of Valeriy's song "Believe in yourself".?? This must be a composition of his own, otherwise he would have declared it in the YT introduction or on the album credits. greets
Гениально! И главное--надо же было договориться,заинтересовать Мариенталя и всех троих духовиков синхронизироваться в эту звездную цепочку,создать этот кайф,грув..Калейдоскоп раскачивающего самые мощные эмоции фанка!!!
Valeriy's solo was a-freaking-mazing! Especially when the horns came back in. Good grief the guy has to be from another planet!
...бегу за наушниками,чтоб кайфануть по максимуму!!
👍👏🏼👍👏🏼👍
Valeriy Stepanov all day every day. Checking the clock on the wall it looks like it's time for Album #3 my friends.
Live 3 & Album #3 is on it’s way. Album #3 will be a big one! :)
@@ValeriyStepanov Happiness!
Wow! You don't stop amazing me! Please now get Gambale, Weckl and Patitucci and reborn the magic of the Electrik Band Valeriy some kind of project! 🙂👍
Would be a dream to hear that!!
Спасибо за ваше творчество! Отличный пример международной дружбы!
Thanks for the art! Great example of international friendship! )
Тот случай, когда ставишь лайк в первые секунды\такты музыки! Валерий огромное спасибо за творчество!!!
Ну что же ты творишь?! КАК ТЫ ЭТО ДЕЛАЕШЬ?! УАУ!!! Спасибище за музыку тебе и всем сподвижникам!
Вот это уровень, захватывает от начала до конца ) Теперь ждём вместе с Dave Weckl ))
лучше с "САМИМ дробышем!"...
HOLY SH*T! You got Eric Marienthal on this? That's so sick man! Nice jam, I like the vibe ;)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Marienthal hustling to keep up with anyone or any song before this. Valeriy is keeping everyone on their toes! 😉
This is nice!
I’m almost 60 years old. Back in the 80ies and 90ies this kind of music was pretty popular. We called it fusion (I think it’s what they still call it today😅).
Our heroes were: The Brecker brothers, Bob Berg and Mike Stern, Miles Davis, Steps Ahead and many others.
The drummer in this video reminds me of one of the heroes back then: Dennis Chambers.
Thank you.
Peace!
He actually reminds of a young Rayford Griffin when I saw him with Stanley Clark with keyboardist the late Robert Brookins .. Rayford would push the groove just like this young man is doing which damn awesome
Sir, you are out of this world, your music is incredible,I will like to get the opportunity to see you in concert in the USA.
Фантастическое исполнение и музыка!!! БРАВО!!!
East meets west . Somuch respect for skill .
Would love to hear more. What a pleasure.
Greetings.
Valera, the stages of this world are waiting for you!

Still, for me, one of the most energizing songs on RUclips today. This and his song, Positivity can bring me out of any level of funk. Bravo Maestro.👏👏👏
As always SUPER TASTEFUL and Excellent Sound👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome musicianship Valeriy is one of the best I’ve heard in a decade his piano and keyboard playing is off the chain melodies from heaven.
one of the best smooth jazz tracks ever made!
Круто, когда музыкант сам монтирует, музыка становится очень визуальной, всё показано, ничего не упущено, Валера лучший!
Всё сочно,красиво,вкусно!!¡!!!!!
Ещё одно прекрасное творение,я думаю ты ещё будешь и будешь удивлять и радовать ,спасибо Валера.
Всё в кайф,спасибо и тем музыкантам которые с тобой
играют такую музыку
So nice❤❤❤fine drumming by my friend Steven Williams… love the conga solo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎Valeriy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
HEY THATS ME IN THE DRUMS!! THANKS MAN!!!!🙌🏾
Все это, конечно,неаиданное и неслыханное действо, абсолютно потрясающее. Но, пройти в мировые лидеры не дадут. А Валера этого достоин, абсолютно достоин. И много еще удивительного создаст.
Огромное спасибо!!!!Это очень круто!!!
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉.
Nice maestro Eric - was longing though for more of the kind of thing you played at jazz alley last year. Always seems like the recorded stuff is you being tame lol. They need to just let you loose bro! Wish I had recording of your performance saw you at last year - some of the best sax playing I've ever heard. I saw Michael Brecker play in the same spot 20 years ago that you played and I can't say he played better than you....we all walked away amazed by what you did.
Ahhh ça c'est MON RUclips comme je l'aime.
Спасибо Валерий за это сокровище. Спасибо остальным за этот паз.
And thanks to Steven for this perfect rhythm.
Валера, ты гений! Миллион раз это буду повторять!
👍
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉.
Fantastic!
Every time I think you can't top that last track I just heard from you, you go and do just that! Every composition of yours is simply a masterpiece! You have such prodigious command of everything you touch, whether the piano, key bass, drums, camera, video editing, and so much more! You Valeriy, are what we all aspire to in our musical goals. God speed to you in everything you do!
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉..
Не пропустил премьеру. Испытал даже больше положительных эмоций, чем ожидал. Валерий - гений. Браво!
Appreciate all your work!
Excellent!
Sincerely, from the USA!!
Where knowledge,talent and love for music meet , something special,indescribable is created …like this pieces by Valeriy ! Not only is he multitalented in many musical genres, starting with jazz at the highest level,where the roots can be found with the biggest in the industry, no he has reinvented the music he makes for himself and produced it in new dimensions! His musicianship, performance is out of this world! He is a genius personified! Obsessed and insane in the best sense of the word ! Thank you for your perfection and brilliance that you give us !
Last one can’t overlook the amount of super talented musicians he works with ! All deserve my bow …chapeau! ☝🏽👠🌻
Валерий, Браво! Прекрасный союз великолепных музыкантов!
Молодцы ребята. Поздравляю. Наконец-то приятная и серьёзная музыка, с хорошим звуком и ритмом.
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Валерий - гений , миротворец !!! Круто !!! Состав бешенный )))
GREAT mix, GREAT video edit. This SHOULD be on top of the charts!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a joy to hear and see Eric Marienthal playing with Valerie Stepanov! I last saw Marienthal on the "Overtime" Blue-Ray with Lee Ritenour & friends.
So that's it. Perfect. Thank You Valeriy.
The drummer is a God!! Wow!!
hey that's mean drums!! It was so fun getting to work with him again!
Классный трек! Ещё с самим Мариенталем.
Однозначно лайк.
Потрясающая вещь.... Великолепная концовка. Пьяно, духовые, ударные.... Финал - это божественно... Несколько минут счастья. Спасибо Валерию и команде)) Куинси Джонс не отреагировал случайно?
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉..
There ain’t no doubt, the musicians in this vid will leave their legacy on this planet. I hope in our next life, they are all there. This blew my mind, timing is so tight.
С первых нот - чудо, спасибо за ваш труд!
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉..
Как только подумаешь,что уже не чему удивляться,Валерий ты опять удивляешь,твоей одарённости нет конца и слава Богу!!! Продолжайте удивлять и радовать своих фанатов, потому,как в России очень мало гениальных музыкантов и вы один из ярчайших представителей этой "породы" Браво👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Isnt this man a joy , brings me feelings of joy ❤
Yeah! Eric... Hero of my youth!! RIP Chick!!! Love this!!!
Tu m'inspires beaucoup Valeriy dans ton style ! J'adore ce que tu fais ! peace in the World !
I really love this tune, amazing job! And of course one of my heros on sax, Eric! Keep 'em comin'!
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉..
Con el grandísimo Eric Marienthal 😮❤
That ending is phenomenal! Well done by everyone!!!
Фирмачи!Вот как из простой темки можно такую красоту развить!
Not my type of music but I really enjpyed it, so well written, arranged, performed and recorded
So good and exciting to see Eric Marienthal again. His playing is always STELLAR!!! And the brother Steven Williams' drumming was spot on!!! This tune is FIYA!!!! It was smokin' all the way through. I mean, I don't expect anything less from Valeriy Stepanov. But this one really "hit the spot" for me. LOVE IT!!!!!
It was a great honor, pleasure and privilege to host and perform with Eric Marienthal twice in Uganda 👌🏿
Nice song 👊🏿🖤🤍
Заряд бодрости что надо! На год вперед точно хватит! 🕺🕺🕺
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉..
Clap clap clap...From Argentina. 👏👏👏😊👍
Nice to hear your kind of playing style... My long time best friend.... I miss you so much...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Сумасшедше офигенная Вещщь!.. Спасибствую)
Eric and his signature sound - love it!!!
Валера наш "Чик Кориа" нет слов ...спасибо👍👍👍👍
Да нет. Валера покруче будет.
Столько лет уже не могу понять,почему у Валеры так мало подписчиков... как всегда мегаохрененно!
Потому ,что такую музыку понять и переварить дано одному из тысячи...
Vielen Dank für diese erneut atemberaubende Musik, und für die internationale Zusammenarbeit 💪🏼👌🏼🎵🫶🏻. Was für ein Geschenk 🤗.
Тысячу раз БРАВО!!!!!!!!!! Это гениально и фантастически!!!!!!
Just awesome composition and playing and hats off to all of you including mr stepanov
Un vrai bonheur... Encore une fois. Les mots me manquent pour vous remercier tous, de manière adéquate, pour la qualité de ce morceau ❤®
Wow, masterpiece, cool, energetic and fusionally entertaining
Babe wake up, new Valeriy Stepanov vid just dropped
Молодцы, пацаны!!!! Уважаю!!!!
Вот кайф! Спасибо, Валерий!
Steve is locked in Cold !!! Good stuff
Wow! The transition ~3:26 from where the vocal swells double/fatten out the altissimo at the apex of Eric's solo to those wicked (!!!) horn stabs is some turbo-arranging. Props to Ivan for nailing those quick hits in the upper register.
Jesus . . . this is just . . . words FAIL ME. TOO FUCKING GOOD.
