[@MrMoDaddy68]

This is my FAB FIVE Jazz Band! I am going to sell my house so I can travel with them and listen to them everyday! :-) Melvin ... what can I say! So spiritual!

[@alt5584]

myron walden is amazingly jazzy and creative and the rest of the players obviously recognize it too and gives him all the neccessary supportive freedom. beautiful. thanks

[@coloradowildman1]

Best band on earth! I saw the Fellowship a week prior to this show and was moved beyond words. Everyone in this band is an extraordinary musician and a wonderful person. Their inner beauty as people really shines through in their music. Brian is one of the greatest musicians, regardless of instrument! Thank you so much for filming and posting this. Wish I could have been there!

[@Cuisinista]

I love this band! Both the playing and writing are phenomenal! I have seen them play many times and I always love it. They are also good people.

Much appreciated uploader! Incredible talent... saw this group in Ottawa 2 years ago for the Jazz Fest. Blown away then, and affirmed now. Some of this material must be unreleased, haven't heard them on their CD's. Thanks again!

[@ddemaree]

I love everything this band does and looking forward to the release of their new album just recorded!

[@yarpyarp85]

Thank you for posting this, it means a lot... wwwwooooooo!

[@phyuckyeu]

Musicians I used to listen to from Windham Hill label when I was young would be Michael Hedges, Mark Isham, Shadowfax, Alex De Grassi, Liz Story, Will Ackerman, George Winston, check wiki for more. Even more than just the musicians, it was the way the music was recorded/sounded. Very ambient, high quality omni mikes that picked up way more ambience than used to be present on other recordings. It's that ambience, or space between the notes, that most bands lack now, but the Fellowship remembers.

[@skaynekurtis]

Jon freaking Cowerd... love his playing...

[@RafaelLuna18]

How could there be dislikes for this lmao people really have no soul or a brain for that matter lol this is so killin. Badass music amd top notch players.

[@RadiantPraise]

[@123hippopo]

please tell me the title of the second song!

[@travisaca]

dude could you type any windham hill's record please

[@rockinspiritphoto]

Someone who enjoys great music. That's who.Good to a Justin Beaver concert.

[@ParsonHi]

Please don't jump on me for this, I'm just curious. 1) Did you get permission from the band to record and post this? 2) Are they getting getting a cut of the advertisement money?

[@phyuckyeu]

I don't mind you asking, I just checked my settings, I have Do Not Advertise checked, I don't understand why they are trying to monetize my ass without me. Terribly sorry, youtube is fucking shite now, between hounding me for my phone number and real name and fucking up my channel, makes me not want to post tons of cool shit I have just sitting there waiting :/

[@phyuckyeu]

Michael Hedges became a legend (and left Windham Hill), RIP :/ Mark Isham went to work with David Sylvian and a shitload of other cool people. Was George Winston the Enya of the 80's? Sure. Could have been worse. Could have been Enya :) It was more how the label sounded, and how they recorded (with omni mikes away from the source), which is why I mentioned them.

[@ø_ø-c3o]

1:13:51

[@phyuckyeu]

Just checked, NONE of my other videos have this issue. It's a shame they chose this one to fuck with, I have others with way more views.

[@danillys]

:D

[@MrPartidoalto]

Windham Hill tried to get that clean ambient ECM sound that Manfred Eicher and his various engineers innovated. Windham Hill artists were okay but nowhere in the level of ECM recording artists.
