I come back to this every year or so, just absolutely slays me! What a groove & what a wild ride, just soooo intense!🔥🔥🔥 Love Nate Smith tearin' it up, Mark Guiliana rips on this too on another live version, some absolutely wicked juju going on here❤

6:50 😮😮

Are there any higher quality recordings? This is excellent.

Mark Giuliana is for real in the top 5 of the best drummer in the World.

rewatching this video over and over! what a groove, what a saxophone plating from Josh, such creative approach both harmonically and rhythmically.

MY GOD WHAT ASTACKED SET< HAVENT CLICKED A VIDEO THIS FAST IN A LONG TIME.

Thanks for sharing, this is great ensemble.

Incredible chemistry in the whole band, trippy Jason Lindner intro and layers, insane Donny McCaslin solo and Nate Wood/Mark Guiliana so tight, its' like they are one mind w/ 2 bodies.

Seems like so long ago. Best times of my life seeing music in NYC was at these shows. Maybe I saw the 55 Bar shows six times or so? Not sure if Bowie was ever in there with me. Around the same time, I saw Maria Schneider at Birdland and he was there. Right after Black Star's release, I had tickets for McCaslin's group at Vanguard. They did a week there once a year for a while, never missed it. Anyway, Bowie passed shortly before the Vanguard shows. What a somber week. I think I saw a set every night. They did Small Plot of Land and Warszawa in addition to some Black Star and McCaslin tunes. Always wondered if Bowie would have sung a little at some of those sets if he'd been in good health. The timing seemed to make sense.

Frei und verbunden

with all my love for Nate smith mark guiliana on this song sounds better

The girl in the front next to the drummer has her hands over her ears during the whole tune. Finally when the tune ends, she takes her hands off her ears and then starts clapping. Go figure.

I just filled out a restraining order against this band

Donny quoting Sheena Easton or Shelia E? fuckin a

4:19 is still one of my favorite louis cole drum fills of all time

Nate como Mark ... son dos gigantes del groove !

This is amazing. Mark's drumming up to 4:15 is so inventive, but when everyone joins in after that points, things start to swing AND cook! I just wish the bass were a little stronger in the mix.

Adoro questo sound.. purtroppo dove vibo non ho possibilità di approfondire questo genere forse non siamo ancora pronti comunque cerco di orientarmi in un genero più melodico e decisamente più tradizionale: grandi siete grandi e un caro saluto, vi linko il mio nuovo lavoro e buon lavoro, pierkzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2mslp-Djqxmn68si=0z1y6DhevujomH8Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2mslp-Djqxmn68si=0z1y6DhevujomH8Y

every few months i check and see if he's recorded this tune yet and get sad because he hasn't :(

I went to look for fire extinguisher

i strive to be as good a musician as these guys

Holy sh*t!!!

NAH this is INSANE

3:10

When you tell the band it's just a blues and they run with it...

rip Blue Whale

4:34 he went so hard on the tom cymbal he had to take a nanosecond to push it back into place 🤣

I laugh my ass off, as some of the baddest fusion music was being played and people are covering their ears GREAT BAND!

This is the best playing from Mark I've ever heard

Far out man !

this is fucking incredible

I went tp see this group at the Village Vanguard and was like...Nate Wood? I was kinda bummed. Then he played and him and Mark did magic and spent the rest of the night picking my jaw off the floor. It was one of the best musical experiences I have ever heard.

Clown Core without masks at 3:15

Excellent!

That was pretty cool.

A nagmificent fustercluck!!!

A bit reminiscent of some of the M-BASE ethos, free and funky, yet hard hitting. There's a Gary Thomas track called' By Any Means Necessary' that a kinda vibe not totally unlike this, but has keys and guitar, upright instead of electric bass and one drummer instead of 2.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I wrongly assumed at first this was a SC tune, but soon realized it's not.

these guys are a bunch of clowns

drum & bass are awesome

This is the most impressive thing I've seen

I ate at a little Korean joint that was right next to the Blue Whale, and had no idea at the time that it was the type of venue that Mark Guiliana had played. There was nobody in there at the time,but I remember the blue lights. The place is tucked into a corner of a balcony of a little shopping center.

this video has had more influence on my drumming than 3/4 of the records I've listened to

This is my favourite live performance of anything ever.

One of a kind.

Came back after like 3 years, still blows me!

Kinda reminded me of some of the Jazzy stuff Frank Zappa was doing in the 70's. Good stuff!

Kinda sounded like 2 drummers carrying their drums and cymbals down several flights of stairs Tripped and Fell !!

a beauty

einfach nur super - Energie + Kreativität
