The Seasons: December with Ambrose Akinmusire & Ben Wendel

[@ukaszj8845]

Such a shame that there are only 12 months in a year...

[@alexambroise111]

Again and again, I come back to this. Almost nothing in the realm of music speaks to me as much as this piece. Thank you both for this gift, Ben and Ambrose

Every time when I try to concentrate, I repeat this for hours. Deeply appreciate.

[@Marcy605]

This is insane how every note sounds so full.

[@blueyedboymrdeath]

Reverb helps. Although whether electronic or room echo or both, don't know.

[@ruby_gleyzes]

My goodness. I have no words.

[@dumena]

my sentiments exactly

[@iJiggsy]

Please tell me you will collaborate with Ambrose again. Please...

[@rickyjohnny8452]

i know I am kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?

[@kyreeforest4868]

@Ricky Johnny I watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

[@jonrobertspiano]

Machado, can will you tell me how to julian a carrot? You comment gives me faith that you are the authority to ask for this topic.

[@panopticonartist]

4 years later this is still all the things

[@paulgerards6494]

At some moment this sounds like church bells ringing! WOW! Thank you guys!

[@ethanhoneywell]

I'm so glad to see that you all get it

[@TheJazzSphere]

This brief moment of music transcendence is inspiring.

[@JeffreyMulac8]

Ambrose is a genius. No one else like him. Christian Scott and Avishai Cohen are up there. mind blowing at 8:50

[@rogerherbison4124]

December, It has stayed with me. Wow! I have never heard two instrument melt together in this way. The tonality, "your color scheme" melted each note so that both of you combined together! Your sax Ben started out "apart" from Ambrose trumped. It was like two starting to walk apart and then you both were able to melt the note together. You became one at the end! Wow! And its so much fun to listen to! Its perfect! The recording is perfect to! Love this! Don't know which is better the writing or playing? I was hanging on every note! Hope to here more from you both!! Lets all support them!

[@ijfcave]

Ambrose you tone is so beautiful and full of resonance and spirit and it not the room reverb.Mr Wendel very sensitive with wonderful musicality and tone. I thoroughly enjoyed your playing and look forward to hearing more from you both creativity I can tell a great amount of thought went into every phrase. That’s what I hear. Thank you for posting.

[@studbagl]

At 8:30, when you both hum out 5ths over the low-level loop is so hypnotic and swirly.

[@lucazennaro9270]

Does someone know how this tune is called ? by the way...amazing

[@DomPusey]

[@theebob2008]

Came for the AEA R92, but stayed for the music!

[@tomlimpim]

Where was it recorded? In which city?

[@joao8000oswald]

Does anyone know which microphone there using?

[@vpsaxman]

AEA R84, R92 and a clip-on Sennheiser e608 on the bell of the sax.

[@joao8000oswald]

Thanks very much vpsaxman!

[@trumpetrumept]

Where is this place ？

[@toyo9742]

What is that microphones?

[@ultrahero2115]

What sort of equipment are they using to layer themselves?

[@alexambroise111]

ultrahero2115 i guess you found your answer already during the last 9 months, but Ben is using a loop pedal! Awesome tool, if you ask me. Cheers!

[@shnootch]

the space is creating that sustain?

[@colepeterson544]

Mark Collins Ben has an effects pedal that is creating the sustain

[@shnootch]

Cole Peterson yeah, I came to that conclusion after posting...

[@tomvl3993]

this is no criticism, the playing is astonishingly good. but i can hear some lilting hot summer in here. In a great way

[@austinbenesh1193]

Maybe they are wishing the summer would return. I remember a similar theme in Schumann's music...

[@SaxJunkieLoops]

what looper are you using bro?

[@hollow5435]

Jazz is a derivative from all that encompasses it blues classical and simply just music.

[@gawronowicz5010]

After 3 min it sounds very Lounge Lizardish (and that's great) :)

[@tylerholleybergin]

Yes this is actually where all of this stuff they're is based of of this type the same type all the editing everything the study improvisation all of it. All this stuff I learn even more about. There can be much more here. And it is a trend I don't know what to say possibly just that hardly... I guess it's sort of like credit to where it's due. Speaking oddly as if it hadn't already made sense. Still wouldn't need to go to college to study but would teach a study the highest thing of that study absolutely knowing more this guy this type of guy knows more. It would always be odd this if not any point of time a study is found and never not an existent foundation it's this video and many more like it referring to all it can and more. And everything else as well its in that. If you just kept the most if you could even call it that before and smaller things after that. Like there should be something else and isn't.

[@tylerholleybergin]

To the other guys add jazz to any of that great explanation. Like anything new with more study with it and things that are actually there. A troubled time indeed when jazz first came, struggles with tobacco alone.

[@tylerholleybergin]

All the new solos know. In many cases.

[@tylerholleybergin]

No most of the stuff just really repeated a concept may appear simply but entirely different. But noone else is there someother Tyler nowhere I don't know why just this place but I guess it's better to just make music and send something published without anything or anyone actually responding. I wild stab as Im already doing something. Nope I guess that's what I answer if there's another Tyler to my knowledge from here you go and here you go and stay dog and this or whatever I'm not here. I will do that stay and not whatever dumb thing thought of. With everything not even some other Tyler. Whatever this dumb place has to offer.

[@tylerholleybergin]

Oh but it is the same thing played over and again... no other Tyler just one.

[@tylerholleybergin]

Why not just one other one.

[@thutyfrruthi]

WTF? :D

[@douglasjackson8571]

Bass clarinet and Tenor Sax. Or Bassoon and trumpet. The common jazz duo is too ordinary
