[@lawrencegenereux8567]

You know a guitarist is an absolute master when he can improvise lines like those while having so much fun doing it.

[@filipdinevmusic]

THE DRUMMER KILLED IT!

[@matejfele9971]

Definitely he's the highlight.

[@TheCastagne]

Wow, I love how you blend all those chromatic jazzy licks with an almost metal, kinda progressive, dynamic. You are an awesome player, it's one of my Hanckock favorite song!

[@3shockarmy74]

I could listen to this forever ! Alex you are amazing !

[@chuckbenton9098]

This is awesome... I've had it bookmarked for a year, and just keep coming back to it!

[@rohanroll]

Hutchings, Hutchings... what a beast! 🎸🎸👏👏👏👏

[@biodag]

absolutely brilliant playing from all and great feeling too!

[@winojuju]

It is one of the best jam i Ever seen

[@localpm]

Just amazing as is everything Alex does.

[@conartist267]

Haven’t watched this for a while but Alex us amazing. I’ve not seen anyone feels and be one his music like Alex does. He’s an amazing musician.

[@tylerl1980]

The fusion dancer! Lol. He's just being himself. Just killer playing. On fire!

[@manymul]

This is the highest form of music, respect for these mucisians.

[@DemonBird]

2:32 I see Alex is a Frank Gambale fan. Awesome playing throughout from everyone!

[@matthewxcurry]

and pal!

[@localpm]

Incredible.What a great Groove/Band.

[@geetarnut]

Alex Hutchings is a serious contender for the top line guitarists list! He has taken sweep-style picking and made it an acceptable melodic addition to jazz/funk/fusion. Sweeping can become extremely boring because it is a fixed pattern that must be repeated again, and again!

[@randyclere2330]

Yeah man! seriously underrated cat.. an amazing talent. Good that he is touring with Steve Wilson

[@conartist267]

Sonny Cannon #1 for funny faces!

awesome playing! your drummer and bass are beast too. so locked in and nuanced. damn... much much respect

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thank you mate. 👍 Yeah they're cool .😎

[@davy755]

Amazing, and a contender for the best guitar face ever!

[@jackdolphy8965]

Sheeesh!! So you guys have been playing together since pre-school days, right? 😂🤣 I grew up 50 years ago with that Herbie stuff (along with Sextant and Crossings!!) - it is just infinitely thrilling to see you guys with this music the way you are all these years later. Thank You. Music, the universal constant - along with y’all’s power of reinvention. Wind ever at your backs 🖖🏾

[@elmolewis9123]

What a superb guitar performance and a great supporting lineup.

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thanks man.. Much appreciated

[@matejfele9971]

The drummer is the best here. Seriously.

[@johnanderson9494]

His name is so long they don't announce it.

[@alienacionparentalesmaltra9968]

Matej Fele You play drums very badly, and you are not a musician with the knowledge to evaluate these musicians, seriously (I have seen your walks) 😉

[@conceitomusic1]

Is true!

ALIENACIÓN PARENTAL, MALTRATO INFANTIL #swing

[@mikeschmelzer9733]

He's definately up to the task..... very tasty chops

[@danaeverhart6487]

My father was like Kevin, he could play anything and everything. He was also like you. God gave him a overflowing plate of musical talent. He achieved a Master's degree in music and could play any instrument well except for a pedal steel guitar, which as he said was from Mars or somewhere other than earth LOL😂. Listening to you play gives me great pleasure Alex, much like listening to my Father play his classical music, or boogie. Loved the Boogie! Thanks again for sharing your extreme talent, how about some old school Boogie next?

[@hollarvideos]

very very quickly becoming one of my new favorite players.

[@notyetskeletal4809]

wow! Alex you better hire this guys. you sound amazing together

[@Jimmy001]

If Joe Pass was alive to see this, I think he would smile at the improvisation which can be heard and the performer interaction that can be seen!! Thank you for recording and uploading this Alex, I really dig this!!!

[@stevenfimmel6933]

I think that's true. I'd love to see Alex and James Muller (Aussie jazz / jazz fusion) get together. That would be worth seeing.

[@Plaxing]

omfg!!!!!! really amazing!!!!

[@AshRavens]

Such a cool, cool take on a classic! Whooo!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Thanks mate.... This was a fun gig.. Thanks for watching

[@MusikeXavier]

Unexpectedly, the best version I've heard of this song. Alex was amazing!

2.09 - allan holdsworth all over. this was fucking sick, had the pleasure of meeting alex at the bristol international jazz and blues festival, he was such a nice guy, invited us to the after-party/jam before wondering off and chatting with other festival goers, fair play that man

[@jjmah7]

I 100% believe this! He’s so chill man. Responds to his fan’s comments on KZbin too. Seems really grounded and humble - which is amazing because not many people would be if given his gifts

[@FinnBjerke]

Great guitar palying mate....

[@reallife7235]

Kevin has a bit of Greg Lorber in his style. Nice playing. Bass player does not feel the vibe and thus never cuts loose at solo time. That moment is called "red tabby cat" time when the "cat" needs to go crazy for a moment. Missed it. Missing heart and skill.

[@newmoon54]

Maybe you're too critical here,, remember,, this song played at the tempo and accented timing parts limits just how loose/funky the bass player can get!!! And Alex usually works his songs out and demands that each player sticks to the intended score!!!

[@jacquelineSteinert]

nice beatle❤️

[@omko73]

Groovy

My Audio Technica headphones is happy with the drummer.

SWEEEEEEET as usual Alex. Awesome band too. Really admire your playing a LOT. What kind of guitar is that? Looks cooool.

[@YaoEspirito]

Waghorn. (Sorry, ten years later!)

[@mitchellbadders5636]

Any material or approaches you can recommend for an uneducated metal player to start getting some jazz gears turning? Your playing has totally changed my mindset, I can't get enough

[@paulgilbert3139]

Do you still have this axe with you mr alex ? You should play with this guitar more often, this guitar is pretty sick !

[@cartnhorse]

Wonderful playing of course; only eclipsed by the fabulous names! *_Phoowich Tawasinchanadech_* - is this really the name of the bass player? I initially mistook it as an onomatopoeia for something embarrassing that happens after a chicken vindaloo.

[@reallife7235]

As yes, Vinadloo, thank you for calling technical support my friend. Have you RrrrrrrEbooted your computer? Also can I have your social security number for my records? My name is "bob".

When playing single coil pickups does Alex compress them?

[@HamadaElMnsour]

Alex, you'll break that thing and we won't buy you another one!!!!

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

I'd love to hear this unit play 'Black Nile' by Wayne Shorter. 🤣

[@ZeroTNitrous]

big ups to rhythm section

[@YaoEspirito]

What a crisp band! I just don't understand the circuit this guy's on. It seems 95% of his material here on KZbin is either him in a studio, or else appearances at trade-shows, malls, or conventions or something. I guess it's not his focus, but I don't know why he's not on big concert stages the way you see gigs by Al Jarreau or Lee Ritenour, for instance.

[@bonecracker23]

He is touring with Steven wilson now

[@joshuasnell7942]

Q: how to avoid solely playing the butternotes? A: just do the same arpeggio one fret up or one fret down

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Absolutely, it's a good trick. ;-)

[@traindiesel7005]

haha side slippin love it. its also fun to play all notes outside the scale for 2 beats, come back inside for 2 following beats, go back outside for 1, then go back in for 3 (assuming we're in 4/4). I call that one 'convincing the drunk' :)
