OMG!!! SORRY 😂. Your pianist is so young, but he can improvise these super licks during a perfect walking bass. All of you are hi level! Thx for this moment
One thing that strikes me about you Chad is that you always seem to have great vibes/chemistry no matter who you're playing with. I don't think it's because you only play with people you know well because you play with so many different people, and when I caught you in Philly I don't think you'd played with any of the musicians in that ensemble. How do you do this?
It's easy because it's not really improvisation. It is the fulfillment of a norm. In a real improvisation, the progress of the lines is not fixed, but will first developed together by the musicians. The result is different every time. Chad's modern approach to playing is interesting. it's emotional without contours. A running without stopping, which corresponds to the lives of most people today. That's what makes his music interesting.
@@MelodiesForEverybody This is an interesting statement but is it intended to reply to or expand on my question to Chad? I didn't say anything about improvisation; I wasn't even thinking about improvisation when I made the comment. The character of Chad's ability to 'vibe' with many different artists often without having had much time working with them, which was the focus of my question, is something one might just as well see in, say, classical ensembles like string quartets, whose performance is highly constrained in terms of the levels of improvisation employed during the performance.
Absolutely amazing, spirited performance! Everything there... pocket, feeling, virtuosity. Slam DUNK! Only thing I'd add is Holger to start pulling some stops, but dayum... KILLIN!
Omg take us to chruch.... but on another note i tried out the nexus select tenor sax 002 serial number great horn very light wish i could buy but dont have 5k lol unless people want to donate to me
Very impressive, especially Holger Marjamaa on the organ. But two questions remain: firstly, what did the drummer to his poor cymbals, totally out of shape? And secondly, who is the old guy with his mobile phone filming around 5:10?? Just trespassing?
:) That cymbal is called a Clap Stack. Istanbul makes them. Hopefully when we go back in the studio soon we can do a tune that will feature it. It’s a really cool invention that my good friend Trevor Lawrence and Istanbul came up with.

Rubiales, what a bad people. "The worst people in the world". These people doesn't know the matter of the jazz.
As a pianist, I can't tell you how hard it is to walk a bass line your left hand and solo in your right! This is some high level shit right here.
I agree. Ray Manzarek did it with The Doors more than 50 years ago.
That Drummer!! 🔥🔥
Thanks so much!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Great playing Chad! Happy to hear this different sound with the organ as well. Killing solos!!
Thanks for watching!!
the amusement face at 01:21 had me struggling

@@MLHunt It's easy to answer. Many musicians, even professional ones, cannot communicate. Chad can do it.

Give me a kiss to build a dream on, Rubiales 😂
I admire your musicality.
Holger is the baddest dude
Wow😮

Love the b3❤
Well done 🎶🎷

That guy on keys has been to church

That’s Don Sickler. That cymbal structure creates a “clap” effect which you can hear at 8:29.
Don Sickler is a fine drummer! the clap stack is always a treat to hear.@@ChadLefkowitzBrown

Killiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
Thanks!!
awesome performance! just curious, who did you play with in the super bowl? i can't seem to find it anywhere lol.
Super Bowl 2014 with Phillip Phillips!
Ya, if Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane had a love child, I'd be Chad LB
👍👍👍
Wasn't expecting an organ lmao
Arreglos diferente casi ni se nota que es afro blue.
Stop Rubiales, Stop Franquismo, Stop the Lie.
