[@samwich9242]

The bass player has achieved a greater level of consciousness

[@CaptainMrFantastic]

I actually had played with Tamir a bit in our time at Berklee. Super sweet guy!

[@stlmusic]

Glad he was able to find work after doing all those GEICO commercials.

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

Samwich . 😂 for sure!

insaneintherainmusic I’d agree

[@alexeonbel4304]

Ayyyye. You’re a legend also.

[@HazielSax]

My dream is to play like this , someday ! I love jazz music .

[@edgali]

Cool to see people whose videos I like comment on other people whose videos I like.+

[@georgew.goodman4433]

Thank Gods of the Tenor, a story-telling player ....no scale exercise!.

[@dcj991]

Coltrane played some pretty hot scales idk

[@boidinktwistie4389]

yeah, a real sonny rollins fan for sure!

[@RM-gm7lu]

The man did his work, impressive.

[@UkuleleAversion]

You practice scales to be able to play those stories.

[@aidanmcgowan4585]

Have you seen how many scale exercises he has put out

[@marcandrelegermusic]

This is some of the most exciting music I've ever heard. And it's friggin' recent. Living, vibrant people playing jazz with love and dedication. Not an offshoot of jazz. Not jazzy sounding compositions. JAZZ. Thank you so much Chad and friends!

[@gregfolland8452]

@Marc-André Léger - Yes, as you say, these are all young men.

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

Marc-André Léger . exactly! Great stuff, and really good comment bro!

[@joedessauer]

no one's talking about Takeshi's super melodic and swingin solo?

[@simonsays525]

I love how he plays the tritone sub on the ii-Vs at the end of the A sections. Sounds like Satin Doll.

[@romnesia7729]

nope

[@darienmoncree3980]

Very disciplined bassist to stay in the pocket when Chad started cooking like that, loved this whole video

[@ernietollar407]

And the drummer too. Sometimes when people follow or color with the soloist it is less than the sum of its parts. But when guys hold it down like this you feel the ecstasy

[@joeyollie123]

​@@ernietollar407Of all the rhythm sections in this series of videos, these guys are definitely the best by far. The pocket is off the scale. Totally holding it down and keeping them music swinging, sprinkling colour and adding forward momentum when required. Absolutely sublime.

[@moiraapplebaum9674]

Phenomenal.... especially pianist Takeshi Ohbayashi. Just amazing.

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

GREAT to hear the young dudes playing the old cats. Right on. Thnx for keeping it alive.

[@charlesblagrove8977]

2:40 is where I heard the best lick of my life. Great job Chad!

[@micah5898]

You'll love Honeysuckle rose then.

[@JacobTech-3567]

That lick is in the head of Donna Lee

[@jacobchandler7042]

@@JacobTech-3567 It's from Honeysuckle Rose

[@JacobTech-3567]

Jacob Chandler Yep. I’m well aware of that, I’m simply saying that the we speak is also included in the head of Donna Lee.

[@brassmarsh]

It used to be called the "stick it up your arsehole" lick. As it scans..;

[@HazielSax]

My dream is to play like this , someday !!! , I love jazz music .

[@TK-xo2mf]

Chad. You tell a story with your solos...not just a bunch of licks. You have the tradition mixed with your own style, lines and voice. So refreshing.

[@oisinflanagan737]

Chad lol

[@TK-xo2mf]

Love that tempo! Everyone and their mother plays it the same damn speed.....so cliche and boring when they do that. I LOVE that you picked the slower tempo for a change. Thank you

[@StavrosKalt]

I'm addicted to this version.They nail it so hard!

[@StefanEitzenberger]

02:40 amazing!

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Somebody needs to transcribe this solo. One of the all time best ones... ❤️

[@korchin8892]

2:50 hahah so amazing

[@thepartimemusician65]

Truly wonderous

[@dorianvaughn1915]

4:08 to 4:10, the Cool Blues lick! Sick!!

[@sotender48]

Very,very good,excellent,the pianist has indeed a softly sense of switness and taste.

[@michaeliadonisi1616]

I can listen to this over and over, Love it. Really swinging : )

[@ebojeff]

They are all really great musicians. Very inspiring! 1000 thanks! :)

[@pacomontenegro-ls9ur]

Always my favorite, my teacher, even though I'm a trombonist

[@efanshel]

Very nice- I've never heard these guys before- excellent choice of tempo too. Also, very nice tone on the tenor!

[@oisinflanagan737]

Ye this pretty cool

[@jazzartpoet]

Great group, with a monster on tenor!

[@chakatania]

Transcribing this with a student in high school. Great work out for the ears. Thank you for posting/share.

[@fortheorysake4314]

That's awesome, thanks guys!

[@bethjay5225]

Great bass solo!

[@banjoboymcgee]

This is the best rendition I've heard of this song

[@sorenfue7306]

So much to learn from this incredible performacne! Thanks for sharing. I had to transcribe the first chorus of the tenor solo.

[@edgali]

Sören Fue Do you have a pdf version you could share?

[@RafikCezanneTV]

A perfect celebration of Bird. The triple time was killer!

I have that exact same Slingerland kit!! circa 1983!

That sax player can really blow. That's a complement in jazz slang

Killer as usual. Way to go, Chad.

love jazz

[@coomoejhee9483]

You guy s tore that up.❤️

He makes it look easy

[@rkgrant]

killer tenor solo

[@jasminesmith7577]

I pretty much aspire to sound like this on my tenor! Thanks for sharing all your content. Loving it!

[@JasonCBrewer]

Bryan Carter!!!!!!! Laying it down. Nice Homie!!

[@yuliashimanova403]

Our time Sonny Rollins! Thank You for great playing. It's so hot and cheerfully.

[@montecardenas-metal1172]

Yulia Shimanova don’t stroke his ego. Sonny could blow. This kid doesn’t have the same chops

[@cjgreen4331]

uh, you know Sonny Rollins is still up and kicking, right? And he's also a master composer, not that chad isn't sick and all. But 2 different people

I’m hearing a lot of Sonny! Nice 👍🏻

3:02 is a phenomenal eruption

[@lukesoares7117]

what a player

[@BerniesBootlegs1]

lol was chad shedding honeysuckle rose right before they started recording?

[@UkuleleAversion]

It seems so: 2:39-2:48

[@TheShadowWolfz]

Indeed it seems that way

[@UkuleleAversion]

Oh, I just realised it's you Bernie! Love your channel; probably my favourite place to go to on KZbin.

[@chrispotter3190]

wild bernie spotted

[@josiah566]

possibly, but the honeysuckle rose enclosure lick is pretty prevalent across bebop

[@AJ-ml3pb]

this guy makes the tenor look like an alto

[@IgnacioCacace]
