Unreal. Best jazz happening. Period. Makes even the most technically great, refined, tasteful contemporary jazz seem antiquated and detached from anything remotely visceral.
Just saw them at The Egg in Albany, NY last week and they have gotten even better. Who would have thought that was possible? The change of line-up seems to have given them even more energy.
Reid fucking around with that sound. Took me by surprise, he has such an elegant sound already and I'm surprised to hear this. Takes some getting used to but he knows what he is doing so I'm going to go with it.
That first tune is a perfect example of playing free at its highest state. Soo beautiful
21:32 - love the bromance between Reid & Dave. they've been playing together for like 30 years and still surprise each other. too precious
30+ years. Right, babe? 30+ years.

Agreed, these guys are amazing. If you haven't already , check out the Vijay Iyer Trio, they also have some very interesting music.
@Austin Monroe Wow! Thanks for the recommendation. Only heard Sharks of Competition just now, but good stuff!

Never heard anyone play a flat ride like dave does. he makes is sound so splashy and light
Badder than ever
