Brian Eisenberg Jazz Orchestra - Gift With Purchase (feat. Vinnie Colaiuta)

[@williamparker1085]

when we drummers dream, we imagine we could play like this man....the reverence for Vinnie is so evident here

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

That reaction to Vinnie’s fill @0:54 pretty much sums up his entire career ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@rylandwelcnan1997]

Rob Brown Looking forward to the lesson on that fill! ;-)

[@jarretduncan2368]

Yes, if anyone can explain it, it’s the great Rob Brown!!

[@rylandwelcnan1997]

You did it!!!

[@RogierRJDonker]

Thank you for guiding me to this gem! Great lesson Rob!

[@frozd58]

Good catch Rob. It reminds me this reaction in the recording booth after a crazy fill from Simon Philipps kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6HFoH6uq9Seo9k#t=01m10s

[@drummerjosh901]

The fills are incredible, naturally, but it's that groove that Vinnie lays down that blows my mind. The consistency of the dynamics in those hi hat barks throughout the whole song is inhuman.😅

[@rickb1408]

So good to hear great Bob McChesney, trombone solo, getting such love from a roomful of drummers.

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

That solo was KILLER. Drummers are surprisingly good at kicking down praise for other musicians' talent.

[@colin6768]

It's funny you should mention that. The jazz drummer Ralph Peterson in one of his instructional videos on You Tube said that learning different instruments made him a better drummer. One of the other instruments he plays is trumpet - he's very good on that too.

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

@@RhymesWithCarbon Agreed. While guitarists and singers are notoriously envious of other players, we drummers usually do not care about the negative crap. We are likely to compliment someone, when they play something nice, no matter what instrument is being played. 🤝

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

@@MeAndTheBoys_ 100000% agree

[@alvarocarignanipodesta7882]

Yes, i came here because of Vinnie and he nailed this recording of course. All this musicians nailed it. But this trombone player, dude... what an amazing solo!

[@johnsadowski3119]

Vinnie has a secret spaceship that leaves the world when everybody is sleeping and comes back with great ideas before we wake up!! Simply Amazing!!!

[@ferruccioparrinello_drummer]

It's so!

[@ArveGulbrandsen]

Holy mother! What a trombone solo!

[@felixrousseau2801]

Vinnie plays with Steve Gadd sticks for this song. Heavier sticks and a more defined tip for the hats you can hear it.

[@valuablesandwich]

For sure, the big fill at the beginning is so Gadd too, it's neat

[@Miguel-tn4bl]

Great musicians, amazing piece of art. Vinnie master jedi.

[@BrianEisenbergJazz]

Thanks Miguel!

[@davidwolford473]

Miguel Echeverria agree.

[@promoted738]

Vinnie is truly a treasure. Got to chat with him back stage at a Sting show years ago. I had hosted Sting's keyboardist David Sancious for numerous shows up here in Maine and was invited back stage to the Bangor Waterfront show. Vinnie walks up tp me and says "Ed right"? That threw me! He told me he really appreciated what we did for David and said he would gladly be a part of a show I might put together! I thanked him of course, but admitted I was too small time to host anything of that calibur. I mean, he could fill a big room on his name alone. Hell of an offer though! Then Sting's guitarist Dominic Miller posed for a pic with me and my family. Vinnie took the picture. That was a surreal and wonderful 1/2 hour of my life :)

[@trmnatr21]

Came for the drums. Stayed for the trombone.

[@MeowfaceMusic]

I'm the guy at 4:49. Yeah, Bob's solo was so shockingly hip, it distracted me away from keeping an eye on the score. (I'm also a drummer ; )

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

​@@MeowfaceMusic I was just thinking if Vinnie watched this, and saw your smile, what would he feel? To be so good at something that even the guys at the board are smiling and blown away, man that's talent.

[@bartuce6806]

what i love about vinnie is he can lay the groove when he needs to and he go crazy with amazing creative fills when he needs to this guys is the perfect drummer for every gig

[@Tranarpnorra]

Bloody hell! He even played on one of Megadeth's records, with perfect metal assimilation. I had to check it if was him and, yes it was. That man can play just about anything you throw at him.

[@caliyork07]

I'm a drummer, too, so I know everyone is here for Vinnie, but how about that trombone solo!?!?!

[@omly85]

That part reminded me of Inca Roads

[@lazyjackass77]

drummer here too, I had the same reaction

[@ianpaxton]

Rene Emidih agreed. Excellent solo

[@dbo6732]

That just means that you're a musician that plays drums. Loved that solo as well.

[@timdegaugh9512]

Seriously!

[@rhythmfield]

I’m a drummer but let’s just say it, what a band - every single player is superb. And Vinnie - what a Groove, what a ridiculous Quarter Note of God

[@jga3323]

I love that trombone solo

[@bwolohan18]

So good to find Vinnie playing something new. Always makes me want to stick in headphones and listen to Stings "seven days"

[@BenjaminGib]

Preeach!

[@JonathanSinger]

Any day is a good day for Seven Days live

[@bwolohan18]

@@JonathanSinger absolutely. Stings 40th birthday and great live version in Norway.

[@fuzzylogiceire]

Check out a recent song he played on, Dream Like a Skylark by Mili. The drums track is like Seven Days 2.0.

[@danoi99]

I not sure how many times I've watched this now. Vinnie is undescribable to me. The trombone stirs up some serious emotion and you can feel the admiration for him during that solo. Just an utterly fantastic piece of work.

[@sabra_cadabra]

this video should be sent in the space to show how much the humanity can be PERFECT

[@BrianEisenbergJazz]

Thank you sir!

[@garysullivan4977]

BE: "So we got this piece; just play the chart as written - we're really just paying you for 3 drum breaks - each is just two bars, you gonna make it worth the fee Vinnie?VC: ".... Just go and sit in the control room and put your feet up; I got this fellas!"BOOOOM!!!

Are you the guy in the background in 0:58 ?

Merci beaucoup JD!

[@caryd67]

I’ve been a huge fan of John ever since I heard him with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette.. amazing guitarist. But Peter… he is a god among men. For me, among the greatest drummers if not _the_ greatest of all time. Thanks for sharing these guys with those who may have never heard them before.

[@jameshall1648]

Killer Trombone solo. Awesome! Dig the laid back groove. Vinnie shines playing simply too. Thank you for posting.

[@BrianEisenbergJazz]

Thanks James!

[@MeowfaceMusic]

I'm the dude at 4:49. I've never been much of. a trombone enthusiast, but yeah, that solo was so killer in the moment it pulled me out of paying attention to everything else.

[@musashi1562]

@@MeowfaceMusic It is difficult to find lately some original and well done music - arrangements - and here it happend all.... still listening more than 5 years and still the best thing! Trombone solo is the best, but also trumpet and flute are great. Anyway, everybody did great job! Thank you too, MeowfaceMusic for it 😊

[@MeowfaceMusic]

@@musashi1562 Brian's music is by far the most original stuff I've encountered in recent times. Of course, I may be biased, but listen to all three albums. I have found nothing else that even remotely holds a candle.

[@esoteriastudio]

Being a drummer myself, of course I’m going to compliment Vinnie’s exquisite playing, but, that trombone player pretty much diverted all my attention to him once he started playing his solo. Very, very musically and passionately executed. Everyone in this orchestra is talented, so, a massive well done to all of the musicians...

[@tadmccully9235]

great trombone solo!

[@Tom-ni7pm]

Yes!

[@ronrizzi8278]

As a drummer too, I dabbled with Trombone and baritone horn in middle school. That trombone is SICK!!!

[@mortonthomasbayliss9177]

I'm sure if VINNE sat in without a rehearsal he would read off straight away, great sound the band {trombones}

[@jas_bataille]

@@mortonthomasbayliss9177 I'm sure he read that straight away with no rehearsal actually. If you look at this face and pay attention, he was reading the whole, he even counted a bar out loud. He was very careful with certain parts, only giving it his all during the fills. Other than that, he simplified his played a whole lot, especially during the part where he played snare+floor tom on 2 and 4 only. Surely there is a better level of drum arrangement here than in most big bands, but still, he decidedly kept it extremely safe. I would be you serious money Vinnie *was actually sight-reading*. It's not the hardest big-band piece in the world. I couldn't sight read it that good, but he kept a lot of silence on purpose, to not waste anyone's time in case the arranger wouldn't be happy with something more complex, and it serves the song. Only his fills were 90-95% of his ability, and that's fine, that's great. His timing wasn't the best here either. You can tell a lot of them are sight-reading, the guitarist too. Big band stuff is *mental*, you spend more time annotating sheet music you're gonna sight-read than actually rehearsing, because you need to sync 15-20 people. It's a LOT of sight-reading and the budgets are nowhere near those of a classical orchestra, and not proportional, even if it's much smaller than a full-size symphonic orchestra of course. Vinnie did a great job as always. He was professional. Those fills were unmistakable and the rest was what to expect of a good studio pro :) Not his best performance but he's always getting the job done and driving the band.

[@felixdmello1]

That trombone solo, WOW, even Vinnie was enjoying it.

[@Qboro66]

Ultra clean and masterful trombone solo.

Hey thanks Lewis! Having people enjoy our music makes it all worth it. =)

[@randyjustrandy9937]

I wonder if those fills were on the chart, or did it just indicate to fill two bars with cool stuff. Also, Vinnie really knows how a crash cymbal should be played. Hit it gently and moderately and let it do what it was designed to do - sing. Great to watch this. The whole orchestra was enjoyable.

[@BrianEisenbergJazz]

Hi Randy- The fills are not on the chart, they are all Vinnie. Thanks for your comment!
