Caravan - Taylor Eigsti Trio (Live at Stanford)

[@TimothyGondola]

Sometimes I wish I could see what Mozart and Bach's reactions to this music would be.

[@johnjolo1983]

Also Ravel's, I mean his music is somewhat similar

[@BiggyJimbo]

They would probably think it is shit

[@BarnabyG]

no their minds would be blown@@BiggyJimbo

[@cmt8485]

@@BiggyJimboyou’re shit mate 😂 try and replicate anything close to this 😂

[@PawelLeszczynskipav]

I don't think they'd understand it, or know what to listen for. Remember when they were about what they created was the pinnacle of 'hip'. They're ear just wouldn't be accustomed to playing outside of harmony, rhythmic complexity, the fact that this is a just a reimagined take on a simple jazz standard, and all of it happening at a completely mad crazy pace.

[@loristotko]

Taylor Eigsti has always completely owned the piano - all the harmonies, combined with monster technique. Drummer and bass are killer players in their own right, great support and musicianship.

[@empower1201]

You must not be aware of how reputable Harish Raghavan and Eric Harland are... They're sitting at the top of the chain for their instruments too.

[@sandmantreefitty]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this

[@jamesratner7889]

The virtuosity here, is in service of the music, not the other way around. That's what makes this great.

[@BarnabyG]

Right on!

[@philburpalooza8]

Agree

[@Adam-rn3ez]

After watching this I walked into the kitchen with wide eyes n my mum asked me why I looked so shocked. I replied ‘I’ve discovered aliens’

[@sober-southoftheborderever3591]

This is magic. Amazing musicians. Love the drummer, Eric Harland!

[@Swisschristhedrummer]

I would drink and eat this music if I could...

[@loreeclary]

How does someone get THIS INCREDIBLE

[@jimguldemond4471]

I watched this about 30 times now, it's still great

[@HonkyMonky]

It wont change dont worry!

[@DanielChavez-gg5hx]

I made this video... thank you!

[@BarnabyG]

same, still watching it over and over and coming back to it all the time for inspiration

[@jamesmitchell6925]

Taylor eigsti is one of the best

[@NICUofficial]

reallly really nice, Yanik Jayaram sent me here

[@evynstratman1414]

Taylor's one of the best......

[@bricology]

Eigsti's playing is _wonderful_ here. Does it remind anyone else a bit of Ahmad Jamal at his best?

[@BarnabyG]

TRUE, with a blend of oscar, ahmed, cedar walton and his own style in its own right. Taylor is just amazing

[@tiluriso]

I thought more Gonzalo Rubalcaba, at least on that intro and on the head/theme.

[@tiluriso]

Total monster players - amazing intro and great arrangement. He played some dense, at times hyper kinetic stuff `a la Rubalcaba, but more Jazz/changes oriented and ultimately his own.

[@shaonantriggersu4886]

I think he has learned film scoring，he applies those techniques into his music

[@mpumidhlamz1]

PIANO IS SOOOOO DAMN CLEAN

[@tunamusic6540]

If you know classical music and learn jazz music well, an incredible mix emerges. On top of that, when you analyze the folk music in the world and use them in your music, then you are truly unique. Of course, for this, you start taking piano education at a young age, knowing classical music and then learning jazz music, researching it and using them in your music, creating a new style and this makes you inaccessible

[@sunsparkstudios2830]

Taylor's chords at 7:40 ...how in the hell do you modulate voicings like that on the fly?! With all 10 fingers?! WHAT A BEAST! I wish I could study with him!!!

[@Zacharysandilands]

Hes playing the same voicing moving up chromatically. Sounds pretty wild tho

[@sunsparkstudios2830]

@@Zacharysandilands You're right, it is chromatic, but very full chords. The descending modulation is pretty neat too.

[@josiah566]

The first time I heard this I wondered badly what it woudl be like to study with him. About the 4th time I heard this, I realized I'm not ready to study with him...

[@docwill184]

I could study with him and it would be as Einstein teaching algebra to a Schnauzer...

[@PawelLeszczynskipav]

Funny probably the only bit of the solo i could actually do. Not that hard once you know your chords.

[@victordeyjr.9137]

Great music and a great piano player. It hardly gets any better than this! Inspirational!! Thank you!! 🙏🏾

[@docwill184]

Next to Oscar Peterson, my new all-time favorite piano-guy...

[@vladimirsafonov9786]

Питерсон классик!

[@jodybeskinirutherfordcoanimal]

AMAAAAAAAAZING !!

[@micahbarnts6331]

Absolutely stunning.

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

Beautiful intro! Interesting and masterful arrangement of this classic tune. Thanks for sharing this!

[@shawnjoo378]

stopping by again

[@wendellraulerson6547]

Who the world was the 👎?!?!?!?! 😡 ga lee that was amazing!

[@jenniferdominick5730]

Beast status! Terrific

[@magicmamaearth]

Wow Dude! You are so wonderful to listen to. Would love to have you play with @AbracadabraTrip

[@funkstuff3994]

never boring!

[@roanmccormick7923]

Awesome!!!

[@pierre-andreglauser5843]

New Caravan!

[@jazzpote4316]

Wow this was incredible

[@normansepulveda]

does anyone has a clue of how do they count the 8:00 part.

[@DebbieDenkeMusic]

Taylor has amazing touch, tone, facility and his own personality at the keys! Opening seemed Debussy-esque. (I think he covered all 88 keys multiple times in this unique Caravan)

[@johnnaavery6716]

“Caravan” is one of my favorites! (Thank you to Nancy E. for suggesting this 17 years ago.)

[@marklevy1089]

Wow what a great arrangement.

[@ofpoprecords]

Great shot. Thank you. Respect.

[@shaonantriggersu4886]

Kick ass

[@azaamusic7593]

Beautiful.

[@chill528]

CRAP. that was awesome.

[@petegreenwood2793]

Totally bloody awesome!

[@pianoman0609]

Beautiful performance!

[@edgarvanasseltmusic]

fucking hell,.,this is really scary, these cats play SO well!! love it :)

[@rafaelsantos-xn7wi]

increreble

[@bassocanario]

Great trio. Bass got screwed in the mix, though; it's muddy, and that's a shame, cuz this cat plays with such focus...Oh well. Still grateful for the music, thank you!

[@blue7audio]

Yeah unfortunately he was right up against piano and I had little choice on tone in mix. Sucked.

[@bassocanario]

@@blue7audio Ah, I understand. You did the best that you could, thank you!

[@RC-jv6ye]

bradley cooper on piano

[@Xsplot]

No doubt highly influenced by Michel Petucianni's live version of Caravan. He adds his own twist though.

[@steveamadeus5109]

jazz hardcore...

[@babyrabies]

are you rushing or are you dragging? yes.

[@RK-xp7qn]

what virtuosity.......

[@chali8762]

This is...I mean...what...

[@drakestube]

Kid's pretty good at the ivories though he's no John Tesh.

[@jamesmitchell6925]

Up to 8 dislikes now. Wtf.

[@NICUofficial]

I used to think I knew how to play the piano lmao

[@jaedynparia2586]

Why does he have to use nylon sticks

[@maxsergeant9934]

Because he uses dark cymbals, so he still wants the definition but also the qualities of the thin cymbals like crash ability and just more beautiful tones than thick cymbals

[@caferrara]

Only one stick is nylon--for the cymbals. Very unusual.

[@ethanrobinson6778]

I prefer Ryan Reynolds on piano

[@Abby-qq1du]

Ethan Robinson and....

[@ronaldseguin6576]

What the f... you talking about?

[@tim.van.emmerloot]

Wow... noone gets it... And are offended. I laughed

[@PayneKrunk]

this joke flew over so many people's heads. i chuckled xD

[@vova47]

Yawn..........zzzzzzzzz

[@dexmagedan5530]

Didnt sound like caravan though sadly

[@georgeallan6550]

A good tune turned into a bunch of stupid noise. Well done. That is jazz today.
