This inspiring. This is what years studying and playing jazz does for you. The changes in this song are really simple as is the melody, so it’s not at all difficult to reharmonize. What’s impressive is that they do all that and manage to do justice to all the hooks in the original as well as shining in what they already know. Brilliant work.

[@blueberryskyline]

Now I want to see a metal band do this to a jazz song. There so many possibilities... it's a great concept. They truly are masters. It's amazing to see.

[@davidw.5430]

Ever heard of "Panzerballett"? This is a fantastic jazz-metal group.

[@67bronski]

Let get it clear, Nirvana was not a metal band. 😊😉

[@blueberryskyline]

@67bronski I never said nirvana was a metal band. I said I want to see a metal band do this with a jazz song.

[@blueberryskyline]

@davidw.5430 no I have never heard of them. I will have to check it out. Thank you for the info.

[@steffenpanning2776]

@@davidw.5430 "take 5" by panzerballet should qualify :)

[@andrewedmonds5431]

What an incredibly talented group of musicians!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Very well schooled and experienced players

[@Phi1618033]

As a Jazzhead, this is the kind of stuff I live for.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So creative

[@pnshr88]

Twice then we blow. Then we take it out. Yall playing the head out? Come on y'all were jazz musicians. Absolutely loved this. No words how beautiful a rendition this was from each member, but dayum that piano was sweweett. Wish I could request my album choice next.

[@johnnyresistance]

that was bonkers, stunning musicianship. 😳 every musician, regardless of style, needs kind of blue in the house 😊

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100% Classic jazz album

[@ChasingPhotography]

Not a slouch in the band. All of them are world class and sing so well together. Thanks for sharing this!

[@TheDeadStretch]

In the switch-up that Bass player was COOKING!!!

[@dalatina911]

I had used Andrew’s 30-Day Drumeo promo 5 months ago. I had never even sat behind a kit before! By the time that 30-days was done, I was reading sheet music and playing full Metallica songs. It was so worth it! Thank you Andrew ❤

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Fantastic!!!

[@bjhellstream]

I'm a metal/punk guy at heart. Miles Davis A kind of blue is one of the few jazz records I like and I actually introduced it to my father who grew up in the jazz era.

[@thenotsoguitarguy9429]

I highly recommend John Colerain - A Love Supreme. Closest I've ever come to a religious experience involved reefer and that record in a dark room by myself one evening in my 20s. Edit: I should have also stated I'm a metal/punk guy at heart.

[@helenlig323]

I'm glad to hear you talking about jazz; something I've been wanting to learn about, and maybe, just maybe, learn to appreciate. thanks!

[@spencerrobinson1009]

Mind. Blown. That was awesome! Loved your reaction, too. Thanks for bringing this joy to us.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shakirbaruka8923]

Another thing that really struck me was, as laid back as they seemed, physically, they played with a sense of urgency. That sense of urgency is what really kept the rock sound in their rendition.

[@CharliReef]

My friend is a metal head who I've been slowly introducing to jazz. Just sent him the original video lol

[@Mitch-l5u]

Good watching great musicians just picki it up so quickly

[@gbulmer]

Thank You for this reaction. Their performance was instantly impressive, then improved to utterly *_GLORIOUS._* 😂 I'm glad I held off and watched the video with you. You added to my enjoyment and understanding. Worth watching twice. Thrice! Best Wishes. ☮ PS - Well done to New Zealand Black Ferns against France on Saturday. 🏉

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I might need you to keep me updated on the rugby scores LOL

[@phenogen8125]

Forget Orchestration; jazzification is the gold standard. Superb.

[@RonNL70]

That was absolutely awesome

[@caryd67]

“Can you dig it!!” I know the reference, that was hilarious

[@izzyisnormal]

my mouth was agape throughout this entire thing. incredible. also if you have the time, the episode with philo tsoungui of the mars volta hearing rush for the first time is super entertaining. huge recommendation.

[@Mitch-l5u]

Lovely to watch great musicians

[@christraven]

21:55 I now want a shirt that says: "Let's do a little Spang-A-Lang". And like others have said, those are some _talented_ musicians.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Just really studied players

[@timoruohomaki]

I wonder what their "normal" jazz gig was after this! Probably like a Vulfpeck concert: 20% faster.

[@RedPillMode]

I am intrigued by this video.

[@maxbaltl6237]

What a pleasure to listen to. 🎉

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

RIGHT!?

[@darkogregec7503]

How well this song works in jazzbarrangement❤

[@thefluxcapacitor1]

I hope they played it at their gig that night.

[@narek.h]

This is really cool!!

[@Wizardofgosz]

Absolutely loved it. And this isn't the first time people have taken rock tunes and jazzed them up. Maybe the most famous one is called JAZZ IS DEAD where jazz guys took Grateful Dead tunes and jazzed them up. The first version of that band had T. Lavitz from the Dixie Dregs (one of my fav bands) on keys. They should do this with 8 or 10 songs, and release it. It would very likely get a lot of Nirvana fans buying it and possibly introducing them to a new genre, a new world of music.

[@PhilipZapata-g7o]

Heard this 10 times in a row

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Into it!

[@fenicks22]

Amazing. Mind blown

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Glad you enjoyed

[@chucku00]

They're almost starting like a jazz version of "Message in a bottle", especially the piano.

[@darkogregec7503]

What a musicians! It's easy 4 them. Wonderfull. Epic. Perfect.

[@MakooWallinen]

My favorite Jazz stuff are sax quartets and heavy bazz focus, then comes the drums for me, so I loved that intro. I guess I kinda love the darker tones, not too surprising coming from a death and black metal love, I guess.

[@ngairehurunui9055]

Heart shaped box is a great choice 🎉

[@thefluxcapacitor1]

Kind of Blue is in Atmos on Apple Music and it's amazing. Sounds phenomenal.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Nice! 👍

[@67bronski]

They nailed it 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@buzzbomb67]

Much more difficult eh? Must be Endless Nameless haha thatd be funny! That was super cool… very nicely done! Now, I wonder if they played Heart Shaped Box at their gig that night PS I like your new technique of taking notes throughout, rather like some of the artists on Drumeo.

[@manderson9289]

he played the shite out of that bass.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Monster!!!

[@martianshoes]

When that box started talking I thought I heard a Chick Corea disciple…

[@rhythmicbeast]

🔥🤘♥️🥁 brilliant

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

YUP!

[@mannybravo237]

I'd like to see Mike Patton singing vocals, "She eyes me like a pisces..."🤘🏻

[@timp1390]

Check out 'brass against'. They do some amazing covers

[@byronhubbard1510]

Amazing

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Agree

[@miffy9871]

I never heard that track too.

[@frontprochproduction]

SAAAAMOKIN'..!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup!

[@Crunchy-Peanuts]

so Elven has nothing to do with Elf music? learn something every day.

[@ngairehurunui9055]

😂😂😂😂

[@nodaysback1]

More Ward!

[@LB-vr8yk]

I misunderstand you and write a comment based on my mistake, sorry for that. Great analysis at the end don't be like me and see the entire video before be a hater.

[@призрак999]

Why ?
