Charlie Hunter & Carter McLean: 2018-04-08 - Nod Hill Brewery; Ridgefield, CT (Complete Show) [4K]

[@mikewifak]

I want a pair of brains like Charlie’s.

[@keinname629]

I'd take hands & feet from Carter

[@HarryJoiner]

Charlie Hunter and Carter McLean playing a day gig at a brewery? That's like walking into a local chess club meetup and finding Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer going at it ...

[@HowIsThat69]

Harry Joiner hmmm aint both dead?

[@zebrush]

Exactement how i feel🎉

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Has been known to happen

[@Ryo7_7]

That's when musical magic is made. I've seen and been apart of some that were the best ever played live.

[@brauliocruz2884]

It's more common than we think. Picture walking into a regular degular Pub in Oxford called the Eagle and Child, and there they are. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein talking about dead languages, Beowulf and the weather.

[@laurieperry2710]

Charlie Hunters smile is contagious happiest man just rocking the guitar....His playing is absolutely incredible!!

[@PKMartin]

38:34 my feeble human brain cannot fully comprehend the majesty of these two minutes

[@jonashellborg8320]

I love two piece bands! Especially when it’s musicians of this caliber. So smooth, so dynamic, so superb!

[@GloryToTheDawgs]

If you close your eyes, it’s a three piece

[@TimSchmidt_art]

This is my favorite live music video on KZbin of all time.

[@Guitargate]

Awesome!

[@keisn2446]

Hahaha, exactly, thank you Michael for getting me here

[@BayouMaccabee]

Love your channel dude...and I'm not even a guitar player. I'm not that sophisticated...I just know how to beat the shit outta shit with some sticks and shit. :-)

[@johncarlo7395]

I've been playing guitar for 61 years now. and I have never thought of that idea, brilliant.

[@seitzsoundjohnseitz5396]

These guys make something that is incredibly difficult look easy -- it's not. Both master musicians. Thanks for posting.

[@vincenzoa2929]

Two incredible musicians playing off of each other in an intimate setting. These are the best shows to see.

[@jbfranz7376]

I absolutely love the faraway looks that Charlie gets on his face when he plays. What a laid back, awesome, talented genius. I've never seen or heard of Carter McLean before but I now have someone to research because this drumming melted my face off! 27:20 - about 28:48 made me stop everything I was doing. What a badass!

[@rossodom812]

Their clever creativity seems boundless. And they don't get boring.

[@BrentLane1]

wow imagine just looking over in the corner to check out the amazing sounds, and it's friggin charlie hunter and carter mclean! what a great afternoon that must've been.

[@paulkingMotion]

I'm new to Charlie Hunter. These guys are amazing. Is Charlie playing the bass and guitar and the same time? Nuts

[@JoeEndozo]

Yup!

[@BassByTheBay]

Yup, and he's been doing it for a _long_ time. I'm just wondering why he's playing a brewery -- nothing against breweries; it just seems he'd be doing higher-profile gigs.

[@keisn2446]

@@BassByTheBay I guess it’s just because he can, omg this is so good

[@stefanod2402]

@@BassByTheBay jazz gigs for ya

[@GlenMcGlone]

Err, yeah. It’s no big deal. You just play guitar like you normally do, then underneath that you play bass using your second brain.

Great to see/hear musicians just create and feed off each other....developes your ability to listen and thus, you will be a musician others will want to play with.

[@ugur.k.]

I watched it 3 times and still working sometimes I listen to it. You're great musicians, I hope I get the chance to watch it live one day. Also I'm a drummer, I really enjoyed your playing Carter. Awesome. Greetings from Turkey, please share more.

[@lieutenantcolumbo114]

Literally an exceptional drummer who can play in a trio for 2 hours without having rehearsed and who at the end of each song concludes perfectly at the same time as the other musicians who had rehearsed.

[@linearstudio1236]

isn't it great to find a new favourite something?

[@davidarbelaez4395]

One must see Charlie Hunter live prior to leaving this short journey called life.

[@johncronan2545]

I'm new to the Charlie Hunter party and i'm pissed i'm late. So damn good. Gotta make up for lost time.

[@Womble1252]

Check out his Natty Dread marley album..opening track is killer

[@LAH828]

I’ve been checking out live shows on ReListen and YT and this show is my favorite.

[@antoinelablanquie3827]

So funny seeing Carter’s kit slowly but surely creeping up towards Charlie during the whole set :’)

That's why the drummers chair should be on his carpet too. ;)

I can't describe the greatness of what he does with the hi-hats at 1:28:52.

[@erastusc4908]

Triplets?

[@thomasdecorail8825]

@@erastusc4908 Ahhh, nope :D you're talking about _triple strokes._ It's still 16th notes, he just doesn't play the 'e' of each beat. I was talking about the dynamics, choosing to play hard on the '&' of the beat gives it a great funky vibe. Charlie sees that too. Now triplets would be what Carter plays at 17:19 ! Those are triplets

All of the genius and musicianship of this video has been praised in great detail. They're geniuses, I adore their style. I second all of the praise. That said, I want to know more about the drummer's Adidas sneaks. I want a pair.

[@dmljones2550]

Yes but I think it was unintentional.

[@benjclarke3010]

@@dmljones2550 Charlie totally knew the lick. Pretty common for jazz guys to do off the cuff quotes of songs they love. And at 8:15 they're jamming John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" so you know Charlie's a Beatles fan.

[@DennisHorton78]

Just stumbled on this, Corinthean Leather > The Root (D'Angelo) at about 1:09 in is insane!

[@pepegah]

I really dig Charlies sense of time, always tapping his foot right on the beat, I’ll be playing with some cats that tap their foot all over the place and you could imagine their time because of that.

[@tubenmarkus]

:) 31:36 "sing it!" "I'm trying" so funny and so cool :)
