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!!!

[@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.

[@MasonCartoon]

This exact performance years ago made me an instant fan.

[@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 😇

[@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.

[@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.

[@lew708]

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

[@mobetter3672]

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

[@QsztaN]

I absolutely love the drummers playing here.

[@shunme1]

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

[@FabriciaVieira1881]

+shu nme i'm too

[@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.

[@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

[@mcmickmc]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... sooooo happy.

[@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!!!

[@silviospampinato]

beautiful musical theme ❤

[@agh032]

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

[@ganaknigg]

thats amazing

[@jazzstlouis]

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

[@lew708]

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

[@rockonjosh]

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

[@stephencoleman4424]

Good morning Dear, thanks for the coffee music.

[@franticgrowls]

That's a cover song well done right there!

[@Gehlhaus1]

AMAZING!

[@CGholston]

These young boys are tight!

[@Idrum671]

that just made my day

[@ThePhodut]

It hits so hard at 4:19!

[@riceboy287]

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

[@NRobles93]

I was there!

[@rifle2563]

Nicolas Robles where was this?

[@nyghres]

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

[@Fons0503]

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

[@OzoneOso]

this is awesomeness, christian scott rocks!

[@jeannelw1]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Betehadeso]

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

[@BarbaraSwan2018]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

[@londonpergobikelover]

wonderful.

[@j.ericsmith]

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

[@dwilson36316]

beautiful

[@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!

[@invisiblemansband]

Amazing.

[@DrBienlein]

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

[@ionjerdea8147]

Beautiful..

[@Hianndryv]

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

[@one_two_three_for_five]

❤

[@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

[@vincent95000]

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

[@arjic77]

Simplesmente magnifico!!!!!!!

[@bigtoine45]

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

[@三桝範康]

すばらしい

[@psspxt]

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

[@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.

[@tet0730]

マジかっこよい

[@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!

[@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.

[@GrungleFloob]

wow

[@Rayka85]

Súper!

[@lukelhanson]

@bigtoine45 I know, goosebumps throughout my body

[@yuujfuj]

I like what hes wearing

[@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.

[@defbeats6323]

Now thats what i'm talkin about!

[@squattillyousplat]

this is the future

[@alecks888]

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

[@111CG111]

Jamire Williams!

[@lew708]

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

[@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.

[@WahkibaJ]

@Jasmarsden Thats Jamire Williams

[@tommyp503]

@yuricstro christian scott and thom have played together

[@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!

[@TehLlama1]

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

[@maisqpoesia9999lcg]

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

[@SvenHild]

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

[@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)

[@kardez13]

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

[@DavidChoiDrumz]

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

[@ikaut1741]

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

[@johnstern5967]

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

[@diggingtreasures]

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

[@Ton1ey]

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

[@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

[@三桝範康]

fine

[@saxronin1]

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

[@lampshade429]

Good lord.

[@Revanv]

3:10 to 3:45 is sooo cool

[@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")

[@m3ntalcollid3r]

Please me excuse but I got to ask...

[@charlesbarry6730]

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

[@100grapes]

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

[@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.

[@Fons0503]

instabought the cd

[@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

[@mjrutecki]

Us Placers by CRS

[@DrTijn]

some modern jazz musicians I really like are: Robert glasper trio(my favourite, check also his Robert Glasper Experiment!!), James Farm, Gretchen Parlato and many more you have to find yourself! Older guys I dig Charles Mingus, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Ben Webster, and offcourse Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie etcc

[@yuridecastro]

perhaps mr. yorke should see this thing straightway

[@bellambriana7626]

Who is the guitarist?

[@courtneyharris3198]

What r the band members name?

[@pgonzo98]

kris funn,matt stevens,lawrence fields.jamire williams...

[@kardez13]

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

[@ikaut1741]

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