[@cironicholas526]

This Nate Smith cat is an absolute killer!

[@benkempner6166]

So tasty I think I burned myself

[@benkempner6166]

That lil boy on the vibes ain’t half dope as well

[@stubowl1]

he's cool

[@louisef.9137]

Dave Holland = perfection. Absolute perfection. My hero!

[@ShadowMenace1]

Dave is such a nice man, I know him because he's friends with my parents.

[@pauljackson7877]

Chris is KILLIN' IT!! Nate's in the ZONE! The vibe man is on FIRE! WELL DONE!!! RING THE BELL DAVE... SCHOOL'S IN SESSION!

[@timpryke2713]

Man, what a groove, what a killer band. Love love love, Hollands stuff!

[@edgehogportfolio7871]

This Group is Awesome ! Some of the best music I've ever heard.

[@martinferroni8325]

Potter's line at 7:44 is one of the most expressive moments I have ever heard in a solo. And the whole concert is amazing.

[@elchacaldelzanjon310]

yeaaa u can hear and feel whats he just tryiing to express with his progretion, it has too mani tensions , can u hear ? its like inner figth and those thensions keep raising during his solo , more and more dark

[@mike8015]

That entire solo was incredible. I can't believe he blew that right at the beginning like that!

[@Ron239]

Wonderful, wonderful bassist. A treasure.

[@georgesprudente3942]

Excellent Quartet. Great. Thanks.

[@nelsonbriles1157]

The sound quality of these concerts recorded in Europe are so good.

[@dr05guitar]

man these guys are not of this world.... so good

[@billlarstead8019]

WOW...what a great concert, especially Veil of Tears! This is a return to the quality I heard on the Dream of the Elders tour w/ Eric Persson on alto & soprano sax and Gene Jackson on drums. Chris Potter has certainly matured into a superb talent, and Nate Smith is now one of my new favorite drummers! Masters of their Craft.

[@joaopinto4616]

Pretty much the best thing i watched lately. AWESOME

[@greeksalad4783]

Dave Holland : Bass Nate Smith : Drums Steve Nelson : Vibraphone, marimba, percussion Chris Potter : Tenor Sax Delicious! ( ^ _ ^ )

[@ralphhale5711]

As good as progressive music gets. There are few better than this group. Awesome.

[@leopard87100]

Wow that drum solo, the continuity of ideas alone. Great musician. I 2 like the snare. Dave is the sole man on coussikbass

[@19Lqueen17]

Potter's solo on How's Never is soooo cool. Used to play this tune with my old band, it was so nice playing this...

[@mattorlando415]

Woooo shadow dance was fire, you don't hear Nate Smith play too much of that dbl time swing in his stuff rn, so cool.

[@johnderose6741]

bass,drums,vibes,and sax...yeah!

[@ogdTo]

13:11 this level of creativity is unreachable... He can play in a completly non tonal way starting from a semi tone tone like scale and just make sens with absolutly everything who came across his head and fingers. No matter what he play, either phrasing, or melodic system, or harmonic path or all of them together will just carry a very fluid expression and idea. When you slow it down and observ, it's like a maze full of changing forms, but so fast and massiv and absolutly mindfull. And of course all of that improvised, no intellectual crafting in real time because it would be already too late. How.

[@handsomegrooves]

handsome grooves - yes indeed!

[@billytheweasel]

Love what this guy did on electric bass too - with Miles Davis

[@michaelcorenzwit6860]

I bet that Holland is on hundreds of recordings with a who’s who of great musicians. He is always interesting in his solos and lays a great foundation for others to build on.

[@warzoned1]

This is wonderful. A great concert. I had the privilege of meeting Dave Holland when he did a master class at the Univ. of Maryland a few years back. A true artist, gentleman, and down to earth guy -- and the show was incredible.

[@TorySlusher]

Love that upright bass tone....

[@luckottmann9767]

MASTER !!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU DAVE !!!!!

[@doudsbass]

Nate Smith est cool

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

i can't say what i feel, if i hear a double bass like this!! what a wonderful world!!

[@richardhines8622]

That cutaway bass at the bottom is beautiful , as is its player .

[@3peaceearth]

Peace through music. Something transcendent about this quartet....off the hook....too cool. peace

[@paxwallacejazz]

You gotta love Holland's tone ! I appreciate that Mr. Holland hasn't gone for that all wood thumpy no sustain tone that some young purists seem to be after .

[@scotty6124]

Ive noticed he switches up basses depending on the ensemble since I have seen him use the full sized.

[@benkempner6166]

@@scotty6124 well I think you’ve cracked the case there bud, u’ve carefully deduced he uses different basses

[@MegaCirse]

What a great journey for this musician who does not hesitate to approach all areas of musical creation! A world of notes, sounds, colors, poetry, cultures and encounters 🤠

[@wittgensteindrums]

Great sounding kick drum.

[@YaoEspirito]

Nate always gets the very best out of his drums.

[@pascaldeshayes5459]

Absolutely brilliant stuff! Nate Smith is pure fire...

[@gorazdandrejc4008]

Absolutely fantastic

[@fabiocopponi9586]

Excellent players....excellent music...

[@andradas9688]

7:15 - 7:45 - thanks Mr. Potter for creating this remarkable passage in this already legendary solo.

[@blankfrancine]

Astounding musicianship!

[@CristianoFrankSax]

Chris Potter...the best today!!!!

[@georgesprudente3942]

alexsh, thank you for this excellent sharing. Thanks.

[@billlarstead8019]

Around 06', I found myself standing next to Dave at his gig at The Jazz Bakery in LA. I asked him if Stan Getz's quartet w/ Gary Burton on vibes ( 60's) inspired his use of vibes instead of piano or guitar. He just smiled & said his inspiration was Steve Nelson's playing; nothing more than that. I felt silly for asking such a question.

[@paulfitterer5576]

So great!

[@dimitriskaraganis]

amazing band!

[@patoriccix]

Puffff! Que tremenda junta! Solos o juntos, magia pura.

[@MrOhWhatTheHeck]

Nelson is terrific on the drums here!

[@blapis89]

vibraphone

[@BrownmanAli]

I hope we, as humans, have the fore-thought to pre-arrange parking for Chris Potter's spaceship, when his people return to collect him.... AND are understanding when we collectively beg to keep him.

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

I love this.

[@BassicBill]

One of my bass heroes! The band is badd!!

[@mozdedo]

snare sounds great!

[@lawrencemuller8972]

Fabulous bande ! Dave and Chris still play together.

[@fpostolache]

As with almost everything Dave Holland is doing, I like this. The vibraphone is not my cup of coffee but it fits well inhere. Thanks for sharing !

[@julienmermel369]

[@MrBribass]

[@stuffupthecracks]

Tight & Raw.

[@jnevilled]

It's ridiculous some comments criticized Potter. Man, I expect that they play way better than Potter.

[@isaiascastro8821]

In their minds they probable do. lol

[@sauxphilippe]

Jalousy ! is the reason why !

[@jimmckeon1129]

Potter is a beast, it's indisputable. Great composer too

[@JorgeOstos]

I wish I could play like Potter. Brilliant!

[@renepythoud1565]

John Coltrane aurait eu un immense plaisir d'écouter, de savourer le expressivité de Chris Potter, à voir son trio à Porquerolles..

[@zarkoasen]

Nate vs Dave holy shit!

[@greeksalad4783]

+Žarko Жарко Asenov ов I was thinking the same thing you were thinking! ( ^ _ ^ )

[@MrViglioni]

SUPER FERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andreaaraceli7764]

[@BillRussellVoiceActor]

[@williamdezitter6826]

Ils envoient du bois!

[@bassmania84]

[@bassmania84]

[@Aiina]

Hey, where can I find this concert ?

[@robertoortiz6220]

That snare sounds amazing! I guess that is a dw maple snare, but i'm not sure.

[@danashane]

Стопроцентное ощущение полёта!

[@mangalarobertwatling9168]

I don't understand what's up with the strangely shaped bass. Sounds great though and everyone else is good here. Thanks.

[@alexsh]

With all the busy schedules these guys have, it's not surprising that he probably couldn't make it that day.
