- John Mayer, ThunderCat, David Ryan Harris, Steve Jordan and Zane Carney secret jam session at Hotel Cafe 3/20/2016
I stopped the recording at end of songs to make sure I get the saves.
This is what I love about John. He is spontaneous and does this for music not for money. He is a fantastic player as well.
its true but not really valid here, he has enough anyways.
@@tipotheus. It's valid bro. He didn't sell his soul to make satanic music videos. Just pure musical magic.

Flight of the funky bumblebees lmaooo

@@santiagofernandez3823Whole video is a Jam/Improv
Jm freestyle, something else tho
I'd love to see a John Mayer studio album with some featured David Ryan Harris vocals, even if it's just harmonies and backing. Those two were a dream team live!
+Daniel Russell He is featured very faintly on 'Paper Doll' off of Paradise Valley. Apparently DRH doubled a lot of what John was doing vocally due to John being worried that his voice wasn't fully recovered. DRH is quite low in the mix though.
This here is why I am a BIG fan of John Mayer. He is an amazing talent that spans so many musical styles and tastes!
Love all the players in this group.. The differing guitar playing styles of JM and Zane really adds a lot to these jams... And Steve Jordan's immense groove holds it all together
+Ayethaw Tun AMEN!
This has got to be one of the most cool lineups in a jam
Incredibly rare getting to witness 4 incredible musicians on stage just jamming as if they're in their bedrooms. Really special stuff. Thanks for recording!
The MOST organic music I have heard since 1991.
What happened in 1991?
he was born that year i guess
Steve Jordan you are giving me the CHILLLLLLLS
+Grillarkatten Dude is the greatest ever
+wtbyguitar Definitely one of my all time favs!
+wtbyguitar According to Rolling Stone he's only the 80th best drummer of all time. Those idiots.
+Philip Callado Yeah Its ridiculous. These are the same people that named Bruce Springsteen The 15th greatest guitarest ever.
wtbyguitar Lololololololol.
The lick at 24:45 is a perfect example of no barriers whatsoever between the exact sonic statement in your heart and mind and your ability to produce it with your hands through the guitar. Beautiful.
John Mayer is in the same league of the IMMORTALS like beck-page-schon-lukather-rodgers-iommi-santana-summers-van halen-hendrix-gilmour etc...
Love to see Steve's playin his snare! I play his snare and it's great! 👍
+Patrick Wickett It was the house bass kick drum, and stands. He brought his own snare and high hat and ride cymbal.
+scott lee Cool brotha
+Patrick Wickett I wish they would put it back into production
Johnny Boy #1 guitarist currently imo. Thank you brotha for being the Dead’s music back to life
Oh my gosh this was pretty gosh darn mid-blowing., Danke, danke, danke, Scott.
Man his opening licks to his solo were just so pure
Anyone feel like if John Mayer found a producer that helped capture his live spontaneity and energy onto record, he would be known as a completely different artist. I wish he would record with Rick Rubin
Or Tony Visconti
I think as long as Steve J is involved the records will be dope. Guy brings out the groove in JM.
+thchruan Yes! And indeed Bill, Steve is so majestic
I feel like while his songwriting is phenomenal, he overthinks his production to the point that he tames it too much.
Absolutely. He needs a strict producer who dares to say no to him.
My John singing R&B style.. OMG I loved this
Love John and David's chemistry. I always loved their harmonies and how they play off one another's voices and styles.
This is so secret YT didn't recommend it to me for almost 5 years??!!
22:12 Ain’t no Sunshine singed by David Ryan Harris. Great!
This proves the DEFINITION of MUSIC. In all of our faces.
This is like a dream come true! I just love the rawness of throwing notes at a blank canvas with no accord, this is art.
Damn, John's singing is at the top of his career in this! So much better technique than early in his career. Like butter! R&B is kinder on it than blues too. Amazing!
I've watched this video a lot of times, and I just now realized around the 48 minutes John takes the whammy bar off and uses it as a slide, I can't believe I didn't see that lol.
Jonathan Irreño i recognized that as well but didn't notice what or where it came from I'm like where th f did that come from lol
I can’t believe I was watching this five years ago and I didn’t know who Thundercat was
The show was incredible, but whenever DRH got on stage, I feel like it all got that much better!
Wow....! Jazzy-Blues-Funk. Awesome! Looking forward the new Album... ;)
mayer and thundercat on the same stage? i can rest in peace now.
Same.
I know right! freakin amazing. Steve Jordan and thundercat's groove is so tight.
I'm glad this jam happened, and so grateful it was posted.. hot to death. thank you
This needs to be a band! Permanently! Possibly some of the coolest musicians ever assembled.
maybe my favorite mayer performance, and that is really really saying something. It's just such pure music! the soul is just flowing out of all 4 of them!
For a white boy from Connecticut John Mayer has the soul of a black blues singer in a 1920's New Orleans jazz bar.
Everyday Struggles this comment gives me life
David Ryan Harris has some pretty great solo songs himself. Glad to see John back in action, can't wait for a new album/EP/tour, just anything!
Jesus, this is literally solid gold.
31:50 i absolutely love when he gets into those sexy, rhythmic playing zones.
Insane how modal the guys are playing! Also really awesome to see John playing on a "Boutique Strat" like a Suhr. He is getting some great "Jeff Beck" tones with that thing!
+Johanna Rubio. I am very impressed with your comment. Extremely attractive!
Is that a Suhr? Had never heard of them before seeing this clip and your post / I'm guessing only heavy players can spot the difference both on stage or if they were playing one...thing is probably sick. JM is all about the "look closer and see what makes it unique / only some will recognize it" Which is cool.
+Johanna Rubio With all respect , your comment is so hot !!!
+mario boggero 😊 well thank you sir. Just picked up a lil something from my husband who plays and is a fan of John. Don't know much more than that 😉
Thats really cool , your husband is a very lucky man. Take care !!
Man John is a beautiful musician....i always loved his writing, voicings on guitar, insane rhythm and sense of meter and time. In the beginning I found his lead playing was too SRV derivative , but he has really evolved passed that and become an inspired lead player...well done John...thank you for making me cry and sweat and wanting to pick up the guitar again!
SAME. Not sure why there isn't an album of his just coffee shop improv jams. Frankly I like them more than most of his albums.
How can someone play different licks one after another? 😰 Mayer’s talent is beyond me, to be honest 🙏🏻. His phrasing, timing, and feel are as smooth as butter… Every time I see him play, my own playing feels like it’s in dire straits… 😷
Love that run on 25:20-25:26! Awesome rhythm and some classy pentatonic licks at the right mood!
This is absolutely sick! I needed to hit pause for a minute and get my breath back.
lucky to go to this show you are thundercat Jordan and Mayer are all real musicians this is definitely a musicians show!
John's singing has never sounded better at 12 minute mark. That falsetto...wow! So smooth
this is so good, well, hate to say it, but this is way way better than John's latest studio album. for a guitarist, John sings so well, amazing.
That's the idea.... give you a small teaser taste with a new studio album, and John records partially developed songs for sale. You like what you hear, then you get smart, and go pay up to see John Mayer play live.... and that's when you REALLY hear the song get fully developed with some jamming thrown in. Then you are hooked on the artist.
Woah, Pino has put on a lot of weight
Best comment I've seen ever
lmao. classic
he's got a bit of a tan aswell
😂😂
He also got shorter
As Maverick can say : it’s not the guitar (or the sound ) , it’s the guitarist ! Thank you JM to exist !
Thundercat has such awesome bass licks.
i am really glad and thankful that this was recorded in video. tremendous
This is what REAL musicians can do when inspired and feeling good! Shit is magic
17:20 is my favorite part...such good improvisation
WayToBlu best one out of improvisation
@@Tcdric i#8
AHHH!!! YES!! Thank you Scott Lee. This was absolutely phenomenal and I am so glad I found it. Thundercat is fantastic. Never knew of him until this.
scott lee, thank you so much...so very much! this is gold on gold! PS - Zane Carney is on stage also, to ThunderCat's left!
Holy shit ! What a live ! JM is wouawwwwwwww ! Others , Amazingggg ! !! This is true music !! I’ll watch this again and again to learn all i can of JM skills !!
What a lineup! So cool he still does these surprise appearances
Jesus this is gold. First jams seems to have some Dead and Co influence. Damn!
Just found out this is Mateus Asato's guitar! Like he handed it to John Mayer before the jam! Amazing!
He said in an interview mateus' playing made him buy a MA signature suhr, still pretty cool !
That's awesome as well. But I have the information that Asato was watching this gig at the Hotel Cafe and asked Mayer to play his guitar. Lets check that info hehehe
DRH voice is outstanding
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a jam session.
Sweet! Thanks for capturing this for the internet world. I always enjoy some new JM!!
The people who dislike this are those people who have no ears
This is rocking, what a groove, thanks for your efforts recording and posting 😀 band are cooking 😀
That 9 min mark- the bass lines and switches in tempo and melody until John does his up tempo free style. Nice.
The thing about Zane seems to be that he is not used to leading his own band. He is a great player with great technique and things, but the difference with John is that he provides evidence in his playing that lets the rest of the band follow him and thus makes the whole musical feeling better as everybody is on the same wavelength. In opposition to when Zane plays and nobody understands "his groove" due to his lack of experience in leading a band.
+Richard Lund winther I think you're actually right! Zane's a phenomenal guitarist in a band, like his work on the Born n Raised tour. But here his groove isn't really there, unlike Mayer's, who's groove is one of the greatest I've ever heard. Love this jamm so much, since they just let loose of all boundaries and just go with what feels right. Mayer and Steve man... This also made me discover Thundercat :)
Thanks Scott Lee for uploading. This is the best live or recorded upload on RUclips. Awesome.
Glad to see John playing a suhr. Great axes man
+Erebus5620 wow lol. good eyes. how can you even tell? genuinely curious. i just assumed it was a Fender
the headstock is the dead giveaway. and on top of that suhr's tend have a little bit more play in tremolo and that I've seen a ton of Suhr's in that color... not a lot of fenders though.
+91thebossman they have a differently shaped headstock
91thebossman how can you not tell? If u play guitar u know most of the brands and fender makes pink strats as well. Just not alot of guys are huge fans of pink.
The solo ...30:50 to 33:40!!II listened almost 50x time!Its more than master
He's added so much jazz to his style over the last 5 years. He used to be primarily blues. But he uses a wide variety of styles. He gets better and more diverse every year. Not many musicians are like that past their 20's.
guillaume gauthier that's why he's got Isaiah Sharkey on the team now.
Gross generalisations.....
Damn, I would have paid good money to have been at this jam. Steve is drum groove perfection and I try to be more like him everyday. Thanks fur sharing this video. Oh my god. A positive comment.......can you believe it?
He's playing with Mateus asatos guitar right there !!!
and the thundercat Jordan vibe is unfuckwitable cause Jordan has that deep developed maturity in his pocket of groove
The melodic insanity at 33:14 is the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever heard.
Brothers listen and enjoy,leave the comment's behind,watch how music bring us together, and chilled, if you think this is not for your taste,move on,peace
So pure.......
Thank your very much for this, scott lee!! This is pure gold!! Amazing stuff!!!
JM and DRH join forces again!
Please .. the fact this only has 307k views. Take a step back and realize what just went on here ..a half dozen dudes who just met recently walked up on stage and literally created brand new music for over an hour with almost no falters all being at the top of their craft... then you look at a girl playing guitar on Instagram for 30 seconds singing in one pitch goes viral instantly ... man, music is suffering.
amazing gig- love how thundercat has a rockstar games sticker on his bass case haha- he has a song on GTA V
also, Mayer/Jordan/Thundercat and that singer guy who came up for a bit would make an amazing band!! can do without that guitarist on the right tbh lol
+Chazza534 The singer is David Ryan Harris, he sang and played backup guitar for Mayer during Continuum and Battle Studies tours.
I gotta say! First off thank you so much to the uploader for documenting this excellence, I watched the whole thing in one sitting! I'm a huge fan of all the musicians involved and the whole loose impov setting was perfect. Now I'm laughing to myself with all the comments about Zane's playing, I have been a little jazz and fusion crazy the past 3 years and if you showed this video to me before that period I wouldn't have understood any of his playing, I diddn't understand any jazz or fusion once I stumbled onto it and then my ears became used to it after awhile and competley broadened my understandings and appreciation of music. I couldn't hear anything that was off-putting, and everyone's entitled to their own opinion, mine is that everything in this show was incredible! One for the books y'all, right here.
Fk yea. This is the kind of music we need right now.
What a beast of a session!...I love john mayer but I never knew he had this in him daaang!!
David is gifted with that voice man damn
this jam is a gift I feel blessed, my favorite musicians in the same room just displaying the raw skill.
Playing a Suhr, finally a good strat type guitar in his hands.
+Alex Padilla Shouldn't he be playing PRS guitars?
+Vitor Isaia PRS are great guitars but Suhr is way better
+Vitor Isaia from what I saw I an interview with Paul Reed Smith the PRS thing was only for the Grateful Dead stuff hes doing
After hearing that amazingness, I can only imagine how great his next album will be. No pun intended, but this jam session was better than his last album!
get kamasi washington in there and youd have a mind blowing jam
I knew John was back with trio for album , but didn't know about this hidden gem ?!?!
This is beyond cool. Pink Suhr is kind of killer... Wish I had Zane's skill set/job!
That little rhythmic part at 31:50 gives my neck a clean snap every time I hear like Jesus this is just filthy
ONE CAN NEVER EVER LET GO TO FORGET IT MAN.....
Great ,Great performance!! loved their taste, camaraderie and music. Thanks for sharing!!
so glad to see steve and john jamin again
love the beginning 5-10min or so...make that into a song or at least an intro to a song John! Keep up all the awesomeness that you're doing!
I didn’t even check the bio and just by the sound of drums I knew it was Steve Jordan on Drums
Ok, now we need a new CD of all them together ;D
This is gold!!!! Scott Lee tks so much for this
pretty confident the next album is gonna be killer and zane carney is right in his element here! and drh back on stage with mayer is amazing!
Man, this video is gold! I guess they didn't recorded this session.. Thanks for posting it! Cheers!
31:51 and on........holy jesus, john is playing out of his mind
Cool jam. Nice combination.
I call the solo at 36:00 the Shouldn't Have Dropped Out of Berkley Blues
Touche.......32:24-33:00...the "i don't need berkley" licks.
this video is pure gold thanx a lot !!
Jesus Christ, if this is what the new album sound like at all, I'm twelve kinds of down.
