I've decided Jon Cowherd is one of the great storytellers in modern music. I feel like his playing and compositions are the most beautiful journeys. He and Brian Blade together are pure magic. This band is so so special. Everyone. My gosh.

[@dusanarsovski7059]

This band is everything.

Newcomer to this band, here. Wayne Shorter's joy, just to be playing, is infectious 😍

ABC Classic FM (Sydney Australia) brought me here. So glad it did. This is sublime.

I can really picture a bluebird flying away into the horizon especially around 1:53. Wonderful music.

[@jaguarhotrod1852]

I first got hip to Brian with black dub. His playing has such dynamic range with great restraint. Love his shouting when he gets into it. This group is pure magic thanks

[@soulrolledfox]

Just WOW

[@BrianMinsk]

Chicken skin music. I wander a bit, listening to various other bands and types of music, but I just keep coming back to this stuff. It just feels like what my heart and soul wants to hear and say.

[@jayb.johnson139]

Marvellous piece, I like Brian Blade more on more, and unquestionably recommend his latest album "Landmarks", where a studio version of this piece is featured.

Jon. Brian is an accomplished studio and stage musician, check out his work with Daniel Lanious, and many others. he doesn't even look like Cheatal except they are both black.

[@manysnakes]

Every Brian Blade video has some dumbass commenting how he resembles some random black celebrity.
