This is a nice band and singer, but this rendition of Riverman is far too jazzy for my taste and it doesn't sound like Nick's beautiful song. I would have never known it was the same song.

Love that this version made me think of Dave Brubeck, Joni Mitchell, George Benson, Return to Forever, Lyle Mays, Pat Metheny, Dave Holland.

Stellar performances by everyone in the ensemble. And *very* sensitive, flowing treatment of the ethereal, smoky Drake song; one of his greatest. And the Sonor kit and the cymbals sound amazing!

It just needs Paul Whitehouse "blowin'" a clarinet solo... Niiiicce!

I appreciated the bass and drummers restraint so I wish the pianist and guitarist followed.

Enjoyed it but felt the progressive jazz guitar and piano solos weren’t in the spirit of the peaceful, lazy, lulling mood of the song. Great singing though.

Real good music needs space between the notes, needs breathing, needs surprising moments and... of course, talented and educated musicians to perform this stuff... Like here... 👍👍👍😁

Although the execution was good, I found this version a little disrespectful. It completely deviates from the feeling of the original song.

Hi Ben! I thought that was a brilliant interpretation of River Man! Everyone sounded great, and the solos were quite good, especially with your attentive and very complimentary support on drums. I've been a drummer for many years, and I always appreciate players that really listen to each other and stay "in the moment". Your interplay with the group was spot on and everything fit perfectly. Bravo!

Started so well but then felt like the musicians egos took it too far away from the original which, given Nick Ds shy persona, is contrary to the original tone. Felt sorry for the singer who basically got butted out half way through.

You shouldn't approach this performance as an ordinary cover song. River Man has been used as a "theme" just like for example classical musicians did with certain theme's ( Miguel Llobet's Folia (Variations on a Theme of Sor" Op.15)) Beautifully excecuted!

Kind of massacred that tune. The guitar is so overplayed. Oh well,they probably know how to play jazz, I hope.

You can always trust a bunch of jazzers to fuck up a perfectly good tune 😜

Interesting, but musically I didn't care for it and don't think it worked. This cover felt like an unrecognizable massacre of an otherwise superbly crafted and masterfully wrought original poem about melancholy.

בראבו!!!! היצירה בנויה לדוגמה. הנושא מופיע באקספוזיציה בהתחלה, ולאחר מכן מוצא את הביטוי שלו במקשרים בכלים הנוספים ואימפרווויזציות מעניינות. חוזר במלאו שוב (הנושא) בחלק השלישי. שומעים שהמלחין מבין בנגינה בכלים אחרים מלבד התופים ששולט בהם בצורה מרשימה ביותר. בראבו!!!!
