Christian Scott - "Eraser" at the HSBC Jazz Festival

[@AstonOnYT]

I'm still here 13 years later 🎉

[@jontrumpet]

sounds just as good if not better

[@rogerioregojazz]

I was there with my son Gabriel, and have no doubt that Christian Scott is a modern jazz genius, and he is only 27... Terrific!!!

[@MasonCartoon]

This exact performance years ago made me an instant fan.

[@westofthetracks]

The original by Thom Yorke is the title song on an album whose cover shows an ancient king standing at the seaside trying to control the rising water. Scott and his people experienced Katrina. Yorke's songwriting strips bullshit away like paint from whitewashed walls, and Scott's playing is as intimate and devastating as Yorke's voice, yet opens wider, from individual powerlessness to a collective requiem hymn for all people and lands taken by the waves or erased at the command of money & kings.

[@lew708]

This song is so freeing! Anytime my mind is in a bad spot- this clears it right up!

[@Hammerton32]

Fantastic, The whisper tone at the end is gorgeous,

[@NRobles93]

I don't like a few aspects about Christian Scott, but I love his tone. Especially the ending, 4:50 to the end is just TOO GOOD.

[@psi_sig]

my favorite drummer, guitarist and trumpeter in the same place, too many words come to mind yet nothing can describe

[@OpenFyre]

Can you name them all (except trumpeter) so I can follow along 😇

[@mobetter3672]

Fresh breath of blazing brilliance.......The Nu School of Bop !

[@walkabou5]

Great stuff. I discovered Christian Scott by accident when reading an Amazon review of another artist's CD. Now I'm picking up as much of Christian's work as I can.

[@j.ericsmith]

Damn the bassist is so f****** hip. Hanging in the harmonics but it laying it down so hard. Who is he? Background info anyone? Damn, hip as hell.

[@mustaphiskoleoso7281]

j. eric smith his name is Kris Funn

[@QsztaN]

I absolutely love the drummers playing here.

[@ninagraciela]

Just discovered Christian Scott. This is real music, absolutely love it!

[@wong5150]

check out "soulive live at the blue note tokyo" - the song VAPOR features him

[@shunme1]

I love at 3:10 the trunpet shines... how gorgeous...

[@FabriciaVieira1881]

+shu nme i'm too

[@riceboy287]

imagine this was playing as a theme as you walked around downtown Chicago.

[@agh032]

this is what I'm talking about! Period! Straight out good music for the soul! Enjoy this special time together Strummin...SoulSince66!!!

[@MitchGettman]

I did not expect this to be a cover of Thom Yorke's song when I clicked on it. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure this would make even Thom blush.

[@OpenFyre]

Mitch Gettman There's another video of them two performing it on stage, along with Flea. It's pretty damn epic I'll say.

[@silviospampinato]

beautiful musical theme ❤

[@lew708]

WOW! Christian Scott along with Robert Glasper is MOST CERTAINLY the future of jazz! Thanks for posting this!

[@Gehlhaus1]

AMAZING!

[@rockonjosh]

@FineTrobledPrince "Too many words, yet nothing can describe". Love it. I think that's the only way to describe this masterpiece.

[@jazzstlouis]

Christian Scott plays in St. Louis October 17-20 at Jazz at the Bistro!

[@ganaknigg]

thats amazing

[@Fons0503]

I really like the unique sound these people have. It really sounds nice!

[@OzoneOso]

this is awesomeness, christian scott rocks!

[@Emnor1993]

Damn, I just stumbled on this video reading a writeup of a Treme Episode, where it was just posted as a reference to this guy playing a role there. With the title-less embedded video, what a surprise to have such a callback, going "I KNOW that groove" and being transported straight back to my eraser-days! great playing!

[@Idrum671]

that just made my day

[@lampshade429]

Eric Harland is one of my favorites! When I saw you mention James Farm I got really happy. Another beast is Jim Black, if you don't know him, definitely look into his playing.

[@NRobles93]

I was there!

[@rifle2563]

Nicolas Robles where was this?

[@stephencoleman4424]

Good morning Dear, thanks for the coffee music.

[@franticgrowls]

That's a cover song well done right there!

[@ishany12]

christian is for me the jazz most talented guy today after miles davis' generation.The rhythm is awesome and his style( hair and dress) is perfectly great.Long life brother!!!

[@Hianndryv]

@100grapes Thom did. It's from his solo album "The eraser"

[@davidcastro1000]

beautiful

[@CGholston]

These young boys are tight!

[@vincent95000]

@lintball0190 His name is Matthew Stevens. He's from Toronto and has a solo album coming out very soon!

[@mcmickmc]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... sooooo happy.

[@ionjerdea8147]

Beautiful..

[@invisiblemansband]

Amazing.

[@nyghres]

Ele tem uma energia poucas vezes vistas. Uma presençã de palco ímpar. Bom. Muito bom!

[@vincent95000]

@lintball0190 I saw Chrisitan Scott and his quintet live 2 days ago at Berklee in Boston. He told us Matt Stevens had an album coming out. And I can't remember which one, but either the bassist or the drummer has a solo album coming out too!

[@hhaahhaahhaa11]

It is on purpose. There are sheets of paper inside of the piano so that when the mallet strikes the strings there is a percussive sound with it.

[@DrBienlein]

the passage from 4:19 just blows my friggin socks off every time every time

[@ThePhodut]

It hits so hard at 4:19!

[@londonpergobikelover]

wonderful.

[@BarbaraSwan2018]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

[@j.ericsmith]

Also shades of Metheny, Haden, Redmen 80/81. What a great moment. It so sad the lost oppurtunity for higher consciousness.

[@Thissbetterwork]

His Tone....My god!!!! I'm a drummer and his tone his just one of a kind unbelievable....and Jamire williams is raw :D

[@Betehadeso]

wow ---- pleasently surprised here! Gr8 talent.

[@psspxt]

Thank you, muchas gracias, valeu mesmo pelo post !!! Strong and smooth

[@jeannelw1]

hell yeah he is in daily rotation enoch meditation my favorite!

[@arjic77]

Simplesmente magnifico!!!!!!!

[@bigtoine45]

That key change... My god!!!!!!!

[@maisqpoesia9999lcg]

Awesome!!!!!!Christian Scott is wow!!!

[@lew708]

@trumpetLAD93 - the crackle is supposed to be there- it's part of the song! I feel what you're saying though!

[@NILOCOgov]

@DavidChoiDrumz Its when you change your key (;P), transposing whatever you're playing into that new key. A little after 3:00, when the piano player starts playing by himself, is when it occurs.

[@ForwrdMovmntMusc]

The name of the channel posting this video is "smoothjazznewyork", so I suppose that the comment is referencing to the possibility of the implication that this is smooth jazz due to its posting by a smooth jazz channel.

[@lampshade429]

All great musicians. Have you heard Mark Guiliana's Beat Music? I think they are one of the coolest groups around. Also, if you haven't, check out Ari Hoenig and Tigran Hamasyan. They are awesome.

[@patriziometini1]

Wow

[@johnstern5967]

fuck the name "smooth jazz", I can dig this

[@ikaut1741]

hey guys any1 plz tell me some "best" modern jazz musicians and some older guys too :))) thanks

[@DavidChoiDrumz]

@bigtoine45 Sorry about my ignorance, but what exactly is a key change and when does it occur?

[@三桝範康]

すばらしい

[@Rayka85]

Súper!

[@WahkibaJ]

@Jasmarsden Thats Jamire Williams

[@tet0730]

マジかっこよい

[@kardez13]

that's what i was thinking. thanks for the clarity though. it sounds like the speaker is broken

[@Ton1ey]

This one is Thom Yorke cover and that song's backround is the same song :)

[@defbeats6323]

Now thats what i'm talkin about!

[@tommyp503]

@yuricstro christian scott and thom have played together

[@squattillyousplat]

this is the future

[@alecks888]

This really reminds me a lot to: CRS - us placers (especially the beginning)

[@DrTijn]

yes I really like Mark Guiliana and Ari Hoenig, two drummers that inspired me a lot. i never heard of Tigran Hamasyan, I will look for him! An other great drummer is Eric Harland, you should check him out!

[@DrTijn]

yeah Robert is my favorite:) This is a really nice version of Enoch's Meditation: Search for MARTIN LUTHER KING JR - Robert Glasper (Enoch's Meditation)

[@diggingtreasures]

@SvenHild Would be soo cool... ;) but I think it's 'Milton Fletcher' on Keys

[@yuujfuj]

I like what hes wearing

[@saxronin1]

It looks like Miles ghost could not have landed on or in a better place!!!! Great performance!!!

[@Fons0503]

instabought the cd

[@100grapes]

ahhhh im confused now! who did this song first? Thom Yorke or Christian Scott?

[@lukelhanson]

@bigtoine45 I know, goosebumps throughout my body

[@DannyMcCaffrey]

Just watch "Giants Among Us" for the new guys and "Jazz" by Ken Burns. That'll give you everything you need to know. Best, D.Caf

[@111CG111]

Jamire Williams!

[@SvenHild]

@diggingtreasures it would be an incredible combo indeed... :(

[@jetsedejong]

Is it a prepared piano or just a sound issue

[@NRobles93]

It was on purpose. I believe they have paper against the piano strings to create that effect...they did the same thing on the album they recorded back then ("Yesterday You Said Tomorrow")

[@evyajs6818]

It's part of the recording, intentional from the keys.

[@dannyshortmusic]

Anyone know how the piano is getting that sound? Is it just tissue paper on strings?

[@bendillinger2022]

Danny Short probably just normal paper. I would assume tissue paper would be too thin and not have as much rattle.

[@beatlebummlh]

Don't get me wrong, this is an incredible rendition of the song, but that chorus just ain't the same without Thom's amazing voice.

[@TehLlama1]

@NILOCOgov uhhh no it happens at 4:19...

[@charlesbarry6730]

Good replacement for the older jazz performers who have either passed away or retired.

[@Revanv]

3:10 to 3:45 is sooo cool

[@m3ntalcollid3r]

Please me excuse but I got to ask...

[@adawg596]

If anyone corrupts this video and dislikes you will go to hell.

[@yuridecastro]

perhaps mr. yorke should see this thing straightway

[@SvenHild]

Is this Robert Glasper on Keys?? His silhouette might fit! und he wouldn't let Jamire Williams go play this awesome stuff without him ;-)

[@kardez13]

am i the only one getting the Static sound...

[@makolelekhosseni466]

so i went and checked james farm out...i was not dissapointed!!!!!

[@sweetpapajazz]

So whos the rest of the band ?

[@paullegloan1502]

Kris Funn on bass, Matt Stevens on guitar, not too sure about keys and drums though!

[@calebcoleman3541]

Jamire Williams on drums, not sure about keys

[@Chilliwilly91]

looks like robert glasper

[@yuujfuj]

who said it was smooth jazz???

[@djones392]

interesting man. can you explain a bit more of what you mean??

[@advilbrewer]

Matthew Stevens. He's really quite amazing. I'd go see these guys just to see him play (not that I don't like the rest of the band).

[@ikaut1741]

hei i'm gonna just say >> thank U :)))
