There are covers...and then there are covers. THIS cover amazes me. Highly interpretive, quite technical, precise musicianship, innovatively stylish...I love this version as I suspect most ELP followers would.
couldnt agree more Great music is meant to be interpreted. These great performers pay the highest tribute to what may be Keith Emerson's finest composition
This was incredible!! What a fantastic interpretation. I'd say you guys knocked it out of the park but I can't because you guys knocked it out of the stratosphere!! Keith would have loved this!!! ❤❤❤
I completely disagree -- this isn't drivel at all. You seem to miss out on one of the most important aspects of music performance -- free interpretation. Keith Emerson would've been pretty impressed with this, I believe. It's obvious to the point of explosion that these are people who DON'T think music is just a series of notes.
This is what Heaven must be like: sitting in a gauzy black-and-white dream of a jazz club, with killer musicians backing a smoking-hot French chanteuse singing an inspired cover of a classic from one of most iconic progressive rock groups in history. Tell me I'm wrong.
Keith Emerson is a seriously underrated composer. Look past the flash and occasional undeniable excesses of the era he came from and you find lasting, gorgeous pieces like this. This is a lovely interpretation of one of his best. Well done!
+James Smith There are those of us that "get it," that realize how magnificent a composer and performer Keith Emerson is. What I can't understand is why more people don't recognize that. They seem unable to see (or hear) beyond the surface flash / excesses. I like great rock and great classical music, and that's exactly the reason ELP is among my favorite bands. They give you both classical and rock....the best of progressive rock.
Eccellente. Gli Elp i miei preferiti anche loro ogni tanto qualche cosa di Jazz la insrrivano nei loro pezzi. Grandiosi gli Elp ma anche jed non scherzano.
It always was Jazz, just that the old crowd couldn't tolerate any act that called themselves "Rock'n Roll." E, L, and P were all obviously top notch musicians, so they couldn't call them "talentless hacks," like they do everybody else that doesn't do their preferred schict, so they called them, "presumptuous."
Takie same ciary i dreszcze jak przy oryginale EL&P. Brawo dla następców geniuszu, brawo dla artystów, którzy zostali godnymi kontynuatorami pięknej muzyki próg rocka.
this is jazz perfection more than I'd wish. To remake a classic gem as E.L.P. made and to perform this version live deserves recognition!! Standing O !!!
Just got home from a Carl Palmer show at the Wildey Theater in Illinois, Monday, July 29, 2024. Excellent! I stumbled on this. Excellent! I played the first 3-4 minutes of this piece for a recital in college.
Wow! My second amazing find on RUclips in one day! Rachel Flowers and now Jad&Den. I am blown away. Keith's spirit is living on in these great young musicians.
caveatemp I discovered Rachel years ago on youtube when she was quite young. Then I met her 5 years ago when I went to see Greg Lake do his one man show., Then last year I went to see Zappa plays Zappa and Dweezil brings her out on stage to play guitar?! She played just like frank!! Incredible!!!!
Cara, aconteceu a mesma coisa comigo! Estava assistindo aos vídeos da Rachel e me deparei com esse quinteto fantástico. Estou simplesmente maravilhado! Sem dúvida, um tributo à altura da maior banda de rock progressivo de todos os tempos!
Guys this is unbelievably good. I've been an ELP fan for nearly 30 years, and this is a wonderful version of the original, with a life of it's own. Performance is superb, and the warmth you bring to the lyrics is a welcome addition. Please keep up the good work.
Just when you think that you know a song, someone else does another version that makes you think that this is the first time that you've heard it! BRAVO!
The sound of the Fazioli piano 🎹 is from another planet, unbelievable. Thierry's playing is extraordinary, what an arrangement of this amazing piece of music. Bravo to all of you.
Bravo! Fantastic rendition of the ELP piece, "Trilogy." Really brings out the jazz elements that were there all along, but buried... this group makes it swing the way it was meant to... coming from a huge fan of Keith Emerson, The Nice, and ELP.
Despite any blind criticism previously stated... I am sure that like me, E.L.P. would appreciate this excellent version of their masterpiece. Top marks to the Jad & Den Quintet!
This is an amazing interpretation of this song. All the comments of Keith Emerson's abilities as a composer are indeed validated. He is truly one of the musical geniuses of our time.
I was an ELP nut in my teens in the mid-70s...and actually just saw Emerson and Lake together a couple of months ago her in Las Vegas. What this group has done with "Trilogy" is stunning! What an unlikely tune to choose to cover in the first place. I always like the song, but this cover brings out another depth of beauty. I stumbled across this while searching for something else. I don't recall the last time I have been this surprised and delighted by a new piece of music. Magnificent!
I'm a diehard ELP fan AND this version is excellent. The vocals are awesome and the piano jazz riffing is incredible. Love it! Finally, a reason to appreciate the French! (just kidding)
You guys are AMAZING!!!! You took one of my favorite ELP pieces to a new level. Why did it take me 10 years to discover you guys? I hope you are still together and I hope you come to Los Angeles.
Easily the best ELP cover I have heard from anybody, including Rachel Flowers. The interpretation is genius, and the execution is flawless. I have always considered this tune the most beautiful melodic lines Keith ever composed, and Jan and Den have more than done it justice! I'm breathless.
absolutely delicious,great version. Love the cello sound. The piano playing is just great plus the inter-action with the singer is out of this world.She is one great singer and just shines like the sun, one of the most beautiful women i've seen in a long time.Great talent and the drummer does a great discreat beat on this song. Long live ELP. Has any body heard any other songs from ELP with this band. May god lift up your heart , people gotta move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well performed cover/tribute to a very complex song with many tempo changes. I'm sure Keith and Greg are smiling down from Heaven knowing their creative musical legacy lives on within the hearts of younger generations of talent.
I've been an original ELP fan since the early 70's and I think this is a superb interpretation of Trilogy, the singing of the Moog synth parts worked especially well.
Bravo! What a terrific performance. Keith Emerson himself transforms the music of the other composers he plays and renders something new and unique. And you have done the same. You stood on the shoulders of a giant, and in the process have become the giant. I can't express enough my gratitude to you for this performance.
SHOCKING! FASCINATING! This is all that I can say: This rendition reigns supreme. The scat jazz vocal gives flavor to this song, whereas the era in which this was created in the very early 1970's, was heavy with the experimental synthesizer psychedelic sounds with the rock and roll vocal power of delivery. This is well done: I bid you all of the best in your careers and that you can be creative in what you do so you can sell some albums and rock the charts just as ELP and their counterparts did during that era.
I am a long-time fan of ELP. This was as good as it gets, as an interpretation. The vocals were very good. Maybe the middle 5/4 section was a little rough (scatting), but otherwise very good. The third section vocals and vocalese were excellent! The female singer had great range and her intonation was spot-on, considering the intervals she had to hit. Considering this was done "without a net", I give this a 9/10 as far as performance. Of course, the music is near perfect!
This impressive and unusual cover seems to have found a new audience when the great Keith sadly passed away considering it was uploaded in 2008... Bravo to these fellows, Keith and Greg will continue to live through their brilliant musicianship !
WOW!!! Such a great surprise... unbelievably good. Excellent musicians with a virtuous girl who sings like an angel. Very very smart version... well done! Thanks a lot for that.
Unmasked. That's what Trilogy really is - a jazz piece with synthesizers. And rock fans have been listening to it all these years. These folks played it the way how it originally might have been. Keith would be proud.
+drkam6 I guess you know nothing of the fact that Emerson said the Nice and ELP both aspired specifically to avoid jazz. It's everywhere obvious in their music, and when they decide to let that lapse ("Benny the Bouncer" for instance) they play it for camp laughs. There's more Bartok and Ginastera here than jazz. One of the ways you can tell: most ELP fans are not also jazz fans. What ELP provided was keyboards that weren't jazz. Nothing wrong with jazz, blues, bebop, cakewalk, ragtime, or straight up typically classic music--great stuff. But if you wanted something different, you wanted something different. And ELP was different. It wasn't this. This is not ELP unmasked.
so sad to hear of the passing of keith emerson .. I hope you guys will continue to interpret his music and that of ELP in your own unique fantastic way x
"Trilogy" I've tried to mend The love that ended Long ago although we still pretend Our love is surely coming to an end Don't waste the time you've got to love again We tried to lie But you and I Know better than to let each other lie The thought of lying to you makes me cry Counting up the time that's passed us by I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand And if it does I hope that you will understand That I must leave in a while And though I smile You know the smile is only there to hide What I'm really feeling deep inside Just a face where I can hang my pride Goodbye... Goodbye... We'll talk of places that we went And times that we have spent Together penniless and free You'll see the day another way And they could put the sunshine For a nighttime where you lay You'll love again I don't know when But if you do I know that You'll be happy in the end
Fabulous! Great interpretation. Thank you. To all of you arguing about the influence of jazz in prog rock, I have a better idea. Just shut up and enjoy the performance.
One of ELP's most beautiful and underrated compositions. The original is sublime. This wonderful interpretation sends shivers down my spine.....Thierry Eliez is a master, and Celine is magnificent.
in reply to you LSR you should be damned chuffed that musicians of this calibre are playing homage to ELPs music .. this is fantastic .. and don't forget many musicians and orchestras have their own take on classical pieces by all the great composers ... if you want to hear something awesome check out the orchestrated version of tarkus by some Japanese orchestra ... absolutely brilliant which only goes to show the complexity and sheer brilliance of ELPs music
I totally agree with you, Phil...I have a great admiration for Keith Emerson's music, and I did this arrangement ( approved by M.Emerson ) in a total respect of the piece, with another approach or "point of view", with my own feeling and musical background. People can like it or not, but I will not tolerate insulting sentences like "this is crap" or "garbage", for me and the band, understood, "LSR" ?( At least, he could have the courage to put his real name to his post.).So, this last one to make M."LSR" meditate : " A mind is like a parachute, it's not working if it's not open".( Frank Zappa )
It's very refreshing to see the performers themselves involved in these comments. I have a "mix-tape" of many of my favourite songs which I listen to constantly, and this Jad&Den Quintet version of Trilogy is right at the top of the list. I listen to this recording just about daily -- I love it! Thanks so much for making it, and I really hope you do some others.
Keith and Greg are smiling down from heaven.
Absolutely agree

Indeed, and how about ruclips.net/video/GpUifNy9y6g/видео.html
It's brilliant.
I agree with you on every word you wrote. Great musicians (amazing piano solos).
I certainly do.
I fainted. Now listening again. How come I never heard of them. Amazing!!!!!
U should listen to the original band that played this!raner than this dog shit version version..
This was incredible!! What a fantastic interpretation. I'd say you guys knocked it out of the park but I can't because you guys knocked it out of the stratosphere!! Keith would have loved this!!! ❤❤❤
Glad to see that young people follow the tracks made by the masters...everyone's crying for Keith, but he's inmortal. RIP Keith Emerson
david garione Greg lake also just passed.
Very sad news indeed.
jamie wesson I don´t think you´re right, but respect your opinion
I completely disagree -- this isn't drivel at all. You seem to miss out on one of the most important aspects of music performance -- free interpretation. Keith Emerson would've been pretty impressed with this, I believe. It's obvious to the point of explosion that these are people who DON'T think music is just a series of notes.
or for drugged, dangerous thugs. emulate who deserves it!
This is what Heaven must be like: sitting in a gauzy black-and-white dream of a jazz club, with killer musicians backing a smoking-hot French chanteuse singing an inspired cover of a classic from one of most iconic progressive rock groups in history. Tell me I'm wrong.
Sorry, I down right refuse to tell you you're wrong.
Great comment! This is one seriously good bunch of musicians.
No you're not wrong. They're all great musicians. Elliez is brilliant, as was Emerson.
On the spot
Right on my friend!!!
Wow. The independence during the piano interlude. Keith would be proud.
Keith Emerson is a seriously underrated composer. Look past the flash and occasional undeniable excesses of the era he came from and you find lasting, gorgeous pieces like this. This is a lovely interpretation of one of his best. Well done!

rock and roll hall of fame, you have blood on your hands
James Smith scholarly reply indeed
George Blair couldn't agree more
Eccellente. Gli Elp i miei preferiti anche loro ogni tanto qualche cosa di Jazz la insrrivano nei loro pezzi. Grandiosi gli Elp ma anche jed non scherzano.
Amazing Jazzy interpretation! I AM IMPRESSED! Beautiful!
This is the most creative cover that I've ever heard, turning a prog tune into a jazz tune is no mean feat. Exceptional playing at all levels.
It always was Jazz, just that the old crowd couldn't tolerate any act that called themselves "Rock'n Roll." E, L, and P were all obviously top notch musicians, so they couldn't call them "talentless hacks," like they do everybody else that doesn't do their preferred schict, so they called them, "presumptuous."
The music of the two most prominent musician/composers of 70’s prog, Keith Emerson and Steve Howe, was heavily laced with jazz.
Beautiful version, and a beautiful tribute to the great Keith Emerson.
Awesome for sure!
At 7:22 Ceilin shows off her immense scat skills - she is phenomenal, I can't stop watching. Plus, she's gorgeous :-)
Wonderful, WONDERFUL!!!!
A classic Masterpiece !!!
Takie same ciary i dreszcze jak przy oryginale EL&P. Brawo dla następców geniuszu, brawo dla artystów, którzy zostali godnymi kontynuatorami pięknej muzyki próg rocka.

I would watch this band any day. Very talented - five stars!

what a great
of one of the best tracks ever written
The sound of the Fazioli piano 🎹 is from another planet, unbelievable. Thierry's playing is extraordinary, what an arrangement of this amazing piece of music. Bravo to all of you.
Truly brought me to tears. An extraordinary tribute to ELP.
The absolute BEST cover I’ve EVER heard of ANYTHING!!!
As a Baby Boomer from the 70's who grew up with ELP, I think that I am well qualified to say that this is absolutely beautiful. Great job!
Grammy! I'd nominate this for the best arrangement of an existing tune, and best Contemporary Performance...REALLY! Way to go! Amazing!
SUPERB!!! Even the changes from the original are brilliant solutions...thumbs up!!!
After seen this video i was standing applause!!!
Same
An instant Classic... From a Classic. Great work Jad&Den Quintet.
Bravo! Fantastic rendition of the ELP piece, "Trilogy." Really brings out the jazz elements that were there all along, but buried... this group makes it swing the way it was meant to... coming from a huge fan of Keith Emerson, The Nice, and ELP.
Makes me want to dance...to a song in-danceable! Long live KE!...and Jad & Den!
Despite any blind criticism previously stated... I am sure that like me, E.L.P. would appreciate this excellent version of their masterpiece.
Top marks to the Jad & Den Quintet!
After a several times of listening to it:
Excellent :-)
5/5
100% pure
massive impact
Positron :-)
A great performance of all of you...
This is an amazing interpretation of this song. All the comments of Keith Emerson's abilities as a composer are indeed validated. He is truly one of the musical geniuses of our time.
Met these at the keith emerson tribute show in brum uk ...absolutely INCREDIBLE ,what an honour it was!
I was an ELP nut in my teens in the mid-70s...and actually just saw Emerson and Lake together a couple of months ago her in Las Vegas.

Tears in my eyes of joy , and sadness because the Kiss of Keith and Gregg
One of the most beautiful ELP songs ever. Great performance.
Thanks so much. I didn't understand this song until I heard this Quintet perform it.
I'm a diehard ELP fan AND this version is excellent. The vocals are awesome and the piano jazz riffing is incredible. Love it! Finally, a reason to appreciate the French! (just kidding)
Wow! What a Wonderful Recreation of a Masterpiece from Emerson, Lake and Palmer
You guys are AMAZING!!!! You took one of my favorite ELP pieces to a new level. Why did it take me 10 years to discover you guys? I hope you are still together and I hope you come to Los Angeles.
Well reassembled, well rehearsed, well executed, Deserved applause.
Easily the best ELP cover I have heard from anybody, including Rachel Flowers. The interpretation is genius, and the execution is flawless. I have always considered this tune the most beautiful melodic lines Keith ever composed, and Jan and Den have more than done it justice! I'm breathless.
This is what happens when you are really talented and work really hard. Fantastic
I have never applauded at the end of a RUclips video - I just have!
Me too
Esp those last 2 chords
Wonderful interpretation with a classical beginning that morphs into jazz and bossa nova! Amazing! Love it!
absolutely delicious,great version. Love the cello sound. The piano playing is just great plus the inter-action with the singer is out of this world.She is one great singer and just shines like the sun, one of the most beautiful women i've seen in a long time.Great talent and the drummer does a great discreat beat on this song. Long live ELP.
Has any body heard any other songs from ELP with this band.
May god lift up your heart , people gotta move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"absolutely delicious" is THE technical concept to describe this performance. Thanks for express
Echos of angels. Beyond excellent.
Well performed cover/tribute to a very complex song with many tempo changes. I'm sure Keith and Greg are smiling down from Heaven knowing their creative musical legacy lives on within the hearts of younger generations of talent.
They bring Trilogy to a new level human ever heard... Top notch!
I've been an original ELP fan since the early 70's and I think this is a superb interpretation of Trilogy, the singing of the Moog synth parts worked especially well.
Simply wonderful.
Bravo! What a terrific performance. Keith Emerson himself transforms the music of the other composers he plays and renders something new and unique. And you have done the same. You stood on the shoulders of a giant, and in the process have become the giant. I can't express enough my gratitude to you for this performance.
I will second that emotion!! It really doesn't get better than this ...and that's called "perfection"!!!
I'm just realizing trilogy is jazz !
Sublime interprétation d'un titre d'ELP! Merci Jad&Den
SHOCKING! FASCINATING! This is all that I can say: This rendition reigns supreme. The scat jazz vocal gives flavor to this song, whereas the era in which this was created in the very early 1970's, was heavy with the experimental synthesizer psychedelic sounds with the rock and roll vocal power of delivery.
This is well done: I bid you all of the best in your careers and that you can be creative in what you do so you can sell some albums and rock the charts just as ELP and their counterparts did during that era.
In a new way again you realize and hear the genius of this music. Tanks a lot!
I need help. I can't stop listening (and watching) this. Thank you.
I can not help you, I have the same problem
Never ending Pleasure!!!GREAT
Excellent, I really enjoyed this. Kieth is still with us in his music...
I am a long-time fan of ELP. This was as good as it gets, as an interpretation. The vocals were very good. Maybe the middle 5/4 section was a little rough (scatting), but otherwise very good.

Agree but I really love the scat part! the singer is amazing
Amazing. I can watch this over and over again.
Essa foi talvez a mais espetacular versão de trilogy.
Sem mais comentários.
Parabéns
Best interpretation of an ELP composition ever! Chapeau!
This impressive and unusual cover seems to have found a new audience when the great Keith sadly passed away considering it was uploaded in 2008... Bravo to these fellows, Keith and Greg will continue to live through their brilliant musicianship !
If someone has something bad to say....get a life and that is live!!!
Hats off to these guyz!!!!
Keith smiling upon ya'll!! Fantastique!
Hermoso, bello, grandes !!!! No words.
Maravilhoso!!! Ótimo arranjo 'jazzístico' em uma das melhores peças do EL&P.
WOW!!!
Such a great surprise... unbelievably good.
Excellent musicians with a virtuous girl who sings like an angel.
Very very smart version... well done!
Thanks a lot for that.
awesome rendition. Congratulations!
one of the most beautiful and amazing things i ever heard in my life
Unmasked. That's what Trilogy really is - a jazz piece with synthesizers. And rock fans have been listening to it all these years. These folks played it the way how it originally might have been. Keith would be proud.

Einer der wunderbarsten Songs von ELP! Hier superb dargeboten von Jad&Den Quintet! Danke dafür!!
so sad to hear of the passing of keith emerson .. I hope you guys will continue to interpret his music and that of ELP in your own unique fantastic way x
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Love it
The best ELP cover i've ever seen! Cool!
Amazing we all forget how great Emerson Lake and Palmer were and they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...mmm.. keep the music alive!
"Trilogy"
I've tried to mend
The love that ended
Long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don't waste the time you've got to love again
We tried to lie
But you and I
Know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that's passed us by
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free
You'll see the day another way
And they could put the sunshine
For a nighttime where you lay
You'll love again I don't know when
But if you do I know that
You'll be happy in the end
You'll see the day another way
And wake up with the sunshine
Pouring right down where you lay
Once a month, for the last five years, I watch this and every time is amazing
Holy! That was moving! Well done!
Correction: Fucking epic.
+Nicole Marie Love Nicole!..You understand!
Excellent cover. I only now realized there is a Jazz core to the original song. Well done.
Fabulous! Great interpretation. Thank you. To all of you arguing about the influence of jazz in prog rock, I have a better idea. Just shut up and enjoy the performance.
Blaine Selkirk I just love what you posted. It needed to be said. Thank you!
Simply superb!
Beautifully performed
Keith Mcmahon I would go to a restaurant and see this an my wife would, what is thiis?
.l would say ELP.
One of ELP's most beautiful and underrated compositions. The original is sublime. This wonderful interpretation sends shivers down my spine.....Thierry Eliez is a master, and Celine is magnificent.

I listen to this recording just about daily -- I love it! Thanks so much for making it, and I really hope you do some others.
What a Nice Trilogy !!!
A great approach, it's fantastic. "LSR" probably could never play this, so he's frustrated. :-). I'm sure Keith LOVED IT!
I'm almost speechless. Formidable!!!
Greetings from Rio, Brazil.
- c.a.t.
Fedele allo spirito ( e alle note ) dell'originale . Splendida esecuzione !
Bravissimi. Piano e voce della cantante, top
