We are so proud of our Hamilton High School Alumni. Keep making great music.
Billy and all of the musicians are great. Someone needs to spend time with videographers and tell them how to shoot a jazz ensemble. The "engine" of the rythmn section, which is often providing the most dynamic visual action on stage, gets undershot. It is a crime to undershoot a dynamic drummer like Marvin "Smitty" Smith, especially when he adds so much to the music. Videographers should rehearse with the musicians because the audio and video is a complete artistic product.
Totally agree. This is an eternal problem with Jazz registrations.
Thank you. I had the same thought.
These solo changes are just a gem! Fucking genious.
Found in heaven . . .
Billy Childs and Pat Metheny can conjure such an elevated state of musical transport - themes that almost and almost and almost resolve and almost...
I love the mix of classical and jazz. Thats the music that i enjoy the most. Same reason to why i love Chick Corea with his elements of Impressionism etc. I adore this!
Agree!! 😍😍 do you have more recommendations (combining classical and jazz music)?
@@heymusiclovers8361 -- the Swiss Jazz Orchestra would be my top recommendation.

Tom Harrell's albums of the last decade have to be considered among the best and most important in this genre

The music Elmer Bernstein did for the films of Charles & Ray Eames was wonderful:

Some of Todd Sickafoose's music fits the bill:

Claude Bolling's work is often derided as "too accessible", but I think a lot of it is also quite enjoyable

brilliant as usual billy!!!!!
Great!
Phenomenal music. Thanks for uploading.
This genre is called "Chamber jazz" (It's one of the many of distinctive styles of Jazz music.) Chamber jazz is a genre of jazz based around small, acoustic-based ensembles where group interplay is important. It is also noted for using instruments not normally associated with jazz. For example chamber jazz will make use of the oboe, mandolin, cymbalum, or the tabla.
Excellent. Jazz needs to get out of the rut of the 1950s/60s bop/hard bop and move along to new textures and contexts. This works well. For me, it's also interesting to see a Blüthner being played (as opposed to the absolutely ubiquitous Steinway or Yamaha grand).
Yes, it' shouldn't be called with a such industrial and chemical term, "Fusion." It's "Chamber Jazz" or "Contemporary Jazz" in large. I am a big fan of Oregon and Lyle Mays (R.I.P.) who was a pianist/composer/arranger of Pat Metheny Group. They blended aesthetics of Classical music, Latin/World music, Folk, Popular music, and Jazz. And they hated the term "Fusion" and even refused to be categorized. Fusion is more like a surplus term which was invented by music critics, DJs, and industry to describe "Jazz Rock" in the '70s and "Smooth Jazz" in the '80s to play on the radio stations and sell it at the record stores efficiently. Many contemporary jazz artists and bands were dumped out by record labels or those small indie jazz labels became obsolete or merged with big labels since the early 2000s when Internet file sharing totally destroyed the whole music industry and niche market of jazz. However, such creative artists like Oregon, Maria Schneider, Vince Mendoza, and Billy Child are all still alive well and continuously exploring their own unique new horizons of contemporary jazz. I send my sincere applauds for them.
Billy Child's is on top of the world so very amazing super elegant, talented beyond this planet WOW GOD has loaned him to us to simply enjoy magic
Fusions don't usually work, but this does. Marvellous pianist
Very nice...good to see Bob Sheppard on flute and sax!
Excellent!
Fabulous
Fantastic!
Very nice production Billy. Your music makes my head hurt ;-) Is that Hamilton with hair on bass? Is that Smitty on drums?
My reaction to the first minute:
This isn't jazz. Why are they calling this jazz. It's good but it's not jazz, please make it stop.
Everything else: O-Oh...~
