Domi and JD Beck Favorite Things

Two virtuoso musicians enjoying each others sound.
This was recorded at the Berklee College of Music Red Room at Cafe 939. I arrived 2 hours early to this small venue in order to get a great seat. As it turned out, there were not any seats, we were all standing.

Someone needs to tell JD those loops aren't meant to be played by a human.

[@freyrfreyrfreyr8001]

One of a kind !

[@Bristo_Blear11]

Lol I hope you know "those loops aren't meant to be played by a human" fit so well as "these are a few of my favorite things" @1:14

Did anyone say Squarepusher? 😀

[@Juanfernandoz]

because its not. And hes not even young... we heard a lot of him here in Anlax federation. Hes a romulian from planet sirphenx... .not human at all.

[@stevecarter8810]

I'm not sure which of the lumps were intentional and which just happened, but fascinating to see what happens a generation after we thought we were making cut up beats that no human would ever play

Yes

[@ryancole7371]

I was just about to comment that this is like acoustic squarepusher

[@jwizdum2103]

JD just turned 18...potential wise, I'd say we're looking at someone where 50 years down the line, he'll be up there with people like Art Blakely, Tony Williams, etc, maybe I'm speaking too soon but you gotta think about his skillset for that age, genuinely a once in a generation talent.

Elvin Jones and Tony Williams and Jack DeJohnette were some of the first drummers to play so free it was deemed "organic" by Bob Moses in his amazing drum book Drum Wisdom....as in it defied our standard notation and definition of what a quarter note, 8th note, 8th note triplet is, etc. This kid is living in this space of beats with everything he plays that anyone would have a difficult time transcribing into any time signature. Incredible stuff, what another legend Frank Zappa liked to call nested tuplets.... mindblowing

[@mgsandz6489]

Fun fact: this duo are a few of your favourite things

[@TheProsirius]

uff, both from another star. so good they found each other. both are my favourite future jazz wizards

they are perfect band mates as well. The dynamic is amazing

Most strange thing they don't need each other in musical meaning. Each play in own planet. And when we see this sky full of this gems we can't look away. Magic...

[@MelBacon4]

insane.. the level of skill here from both of them is ridiculous. They could impact the scene in the states the way Blue Lab Beats has done in the UK..

[@MelBacon4]

@Drum's Corner ehh...Can't downplay what Blue Lab is doing..they are one of the driving forces in Music in the UK..not just Jazz, but also World Beat, Soul, Hip Hop and Electronica. JD and Domi are incredible..and I'm hoping they continue killing it the way they have.

Well we must be given a lot more than we think we are given at birth. Or maybe just some select few. Hard to say and probably doesn’t matter. Not everyone needs to be able to play music at this level. Although it would be nice if a bunch more could appreciate it.
