Lucky enough to have played with Abe in a band situation for 3 weeks when he was in his early 20s. Simply unbelievable player and human.🙏🏽🥁

[@jonathanwade4465]

I try to watch this every week at least once...just to reaffirm that families that play music together are awesome, music is the best therapy, and joy is only 17 minutes away.

[@jackprice7828]

Abe nobody grooves like you! You are theeee pocket drummer! Wow!

[@stayhappy9893]

Watching and listening to this groove totally made me forget about Coronavirus for 17 minutes. Thanks for sharing :)

[@rcbobshow]

THE ONLY thing better than one Laboriel is two. How cool is it to watch the Dad and the Son jam it out like this. I got hooked on Abe in 1977 with Lee Ritenour' band and then Friendship Group. Long live The Golden Bear.

[@SuperQdaddy]

Abe is a natural feel drummer..great rhythm and taste...his tour with sting was special *

[@davidgrout1056]

Wow. Paul really knows how to choose a drummer.

Love how raw and loose but tight it all sounds. So good.

[@birchply023]

Drums sound great snare drum has that plunky sound we all love.

[@stretch54]

How great must it be for the legendary bassist Abraham Laboriel to play with his son, a great drummer in his own right !

[@kaymuldoon3575]

That’s so cool! I didn’t realize that was his dad playing the bass.

[@camilomateus]

I love this band...they play from the heart. Thanks for the video DC

I believe I had a smile on my face the whole performance. So great 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@RedbackRecordz]

Absolutely brilliant! What a sick jam! 🤘🤘

[@mikedarock1]

Well! Damn! So totally relaxed and groovy! The way Jr and Sr play together is the rhythm section equivalent of sibling harmony! Totally fearless playing!

[@fredsavage4925]

abe's pocket just bounces so lively. such a powerhouse.

Baião on 10:24!!! Nice! We Brazilian are very proud about it!

[@camr5281]

I remember when I saw Abe playing, when he was with Al Jarreau back in 1977. He was outstanding back then and watching him play on this video with his Son ..... all I can say is 💥

[@Gfors85]

Love u Abe my fav monster on the skins It was a privilege to see you in Costa Rica come back with Paul and the boys

[@jonathantomis3009]

Great to see Father and Son jamming together!

[@donniecastleman5701]

My biodad who I found just 10 years ago was a drummer, I'm a bass player, he passed away before we got a chance to play music together, so happy for Sr. and Jr. in this video to do this!

[@BroJRTV]

classic and modern jam! love it... thank you.

[@scottbyler2649]

I wondered about the hi hats too. So much joy! Fantastic to watch!

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

Holy shit, just the groove alone in this tune is amazing. Then on top of THAT you have all the individual talent of this group. These guys can take a beat and push it to about a 100 different directions. TALENT 100% UNLOCKED! I bow to you.

[@ronagoodwell2709]

Holy cow! What an astounding rhythm section! Unreal precision and clarity and complexity and... sheer groove. The Jazz Ministry has moved to the top of my play list. Call me flabbergasted to the max!!!!

[@davidjonathan3854]

wonderful.. tons of fun! and talent

[@victorimanpandiwidjaja1600]

All are amazing players!!!!! So energetic

[@hueyjmedina0]

Incredible performance Drum Channel, Pops on Bass, and Greg on keys, an amazing player, plus Mike on guitar had me flashing back to the Raging Honkies, "Give Me the Night", and Boz Skaggs' '70's concerts with a little bit of a batucada thrown in at 9:00, showing a multitude of drum genres, Jr. is able to seamlessly integrate this number into each players' solos and of course as a group, he's the glue guy no doubt. Gotta check out "Another Night At The Baked Potato" this was so good!

[@wmakiling805]

One of my favorite drummers! Such an awesome feel.

[@kasperzandvliet3561]

Wow great performance, awesome band. Really really tastefull and diverse drumsolo from Abe. Love it.

Incredible playing!

[@mattd4616]

I have to say this is the first I've heard Abraham Laboriel Jr. play, and man the guy is a street fighter of a player he just punches hard his own way. What a refreshing drummer.

[@stratocat222]

That's his dad on bass, and Abe Jr. is Paul McCartney's drummer...but this is his comfort zone style here and nothing better IMO.

[@pascalgelineau2736]

@@stratocat222 thanks for information.i knew the father from hiromi and didn't knew the drummer was the son

[@ernestmorellsr7929]

I like his playing style, not a whole lot of chops all over the place with no feelings. With some drummers, it's like, excuse me, where are you going with all those licks? How come I can't hear the rest of the other instruments? There was a time when drummers actually supported the music, but now, it's like they are the music, as an old school drummer since. 1963, even now at 71 I still play although things are a tad bit slower , nothing can beat some real good solid drumming.

[@roscoegarbonzo9966]

The Guys a beast! Always stays below the radar then unleashes, Mcartney keeps him busy! It's great to see him with these other top notch Musicians
