Show that brother on alto some love somebody. He's not running through exercises. He really knows how to tell a story. That brother be preachin'.

[@nacholoring5137]

Also the guy on the trumpet!! He sounds so fresh!

[@regurgitationstation960]

If that is not the truth, I do not know what is.

[@connorbykowski6592]

That was the best description of bartleys playing I’ve ever heard

[@mrjazzyfy397]

Pat bart solo just hits the spot even if i listen a milion times

[@arthurrosch5378]

@@mrjazzyfy397 It isn't that Bart sounds like Eric Dolphy. He doesn't. No one can do that. But he plays with complete mastery and a very personal sound.

This whole series is like tiny desk for jazz and I love it

[@terrancekreider5221]

I’ve been watching since the beginning and your analogy about “ tiny desk” for jazz is perfect ..!!!

[@bebopshulang]

It would be interesting to have a channel like that with different well known groups and artists. Dont get me wrong I love the rhythm sections playing but the appeal of tiny desk to me is hearing different artists and their group. Such as KNKX Radio and what they did by bringing arturo’s group and roy’s.

[@kormendymatyas8667]

tiny desk is already pretty much jazz tho

YO NO WAY!!! I just caught that hahaha! Bartley is easily one of my favorite players alive. He may even be one of the BEST players alive. (Imho)

[@eliwyatt2292]

@@kennethreed8746 Kenny whattt😭

[@tressel2489]

I really like his playing but am curious about the miking. You can feel a clear change in timbre when he moves closer and further away, or pointing slightly away from the mike - is it something to do with the mike itself, or does he just wave the horn around more than most players?

[@jameslove-vani797]

What a clean trumpet!

[@LisaDee522]

That was Roy's praise & worship tune. Saw him & quintet perform it many times.. makes me smile🙂

[@NYCSportsNBA]

This is that Roy Hargrove tune??

[@neocolors]

Yes!

[@isaachernandez8011]

3:59 how they all hit that rhythm together is actually insane, so in sync

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Man are these guys carrying the torch or what. Emmet and Bartley together are just insane

[@neerajsharma3247]

Majestic! Giveton Gelin - wow! Patrick Bartley - wow! and, what a rhythm section; this is so very much R Hargrove's spirit rekindled; reminds me when he was the Rhythmic, Islington, London, where, I saw and met him, and, exchanged thoughts; all of which, comes flooding back to me. He spoke so highly of Freddie Hubbard. I love the way you have arranged this, and, everything about this; you groove!

[@neerajsharma3247]

Patrick Bartley - and Emmet, and, Russell Hall and Kyle Poole; this is such an astoundingly well played and brilliant session - wow! and, each time I listen to this, I am enthralled and swinging...wow!

[@cynthiaobryant6001]

no matter how many times i hear this tune, I love it more each time!!! :) It truly stands out for me!

[@krinnphindalin6803]

I've had this song stuck in my head for well over a day. I can't get over how great the band sounds and that quote of Four is incredible

[@lxxwj]

same, i listen to this like every other day

[@julianflores1772]

I finally transcribed all of Patrick Bartley’s solo❤

[@wutangblackness7469]

Link if possible?

[@QuadriviumNumbers]

I enjoyed the trumpet solo, no random notes just for effect! Well played Giveton! I know you played that for Roy.

[@frederickhill7181]

Some of Emmet's lines remind me of the late - 50+ years late and long overlooked - Sonny Clark.

[@zionphoenix3569]

I'm just over here wondering why you aren't super famous yet. Awesome job as usual!

[@JudahDaniels]

It really doesn't get better than this!

[@toneyam3643]

This pianist is the first cat I heard next to Benny Green that has been influenced by the great jazz pianist, "Johnny O'Neal," keep swinging like that you'll make it all the way into the Pearly White Gates of Heaven.

[@connorsobieri245]

It’s because they do Jazz bro😂 They are famous in the Jazz world tho lol Emmet plays and tours with Veronica Swift

[@kevin_soda]

Mr. Gelin even looking a little bit like Mr. Hargrove here. Y'all sound amazing! I love this tune.

[@arthurrosch5378]

One of the things that makes jazz great is the cooperation and presence of a group dedicated to the same ideals. It creates both power and intimacy.

[@jacobsalmon799]

The most uplifting thing I have seen or heard in a very long time - you play so beautifully 🙏

[@thatomothothi8874]

I have always said that Giveton Gelin is the reincarnation of the late Roy Hargrove. They might not like but they know I'm right. "From the top of my head to the souls of my feet, I am blessed. I am covered in the blood in the blood... I am blessed." Rest in peace Hargrove.

[@kennethreed8746]

Aye don’t do Roy Hargrove like that bruh. Also how can you be the reincarnation of someone who died while you were alive?

[@apeschell]

Only thing he's got is being short like Roy otherwise nope!

[@roberth.5040]

Their tones match so nicely

[@baileyayyy5085]

RIP Roy Hargrove

[@fideliusconcrete4871]

I don't know how many times I heard this since it came out here on youtube, but it must have been about hundred times. And every time this band makes me happy, I love Roy's music so much and it makes me dance here in my studio - okay, more jump around than dance ... A big thank you to Emmett and Patrick and Kyle and Giveton and Russell!

[@ISuperTed]

I feel a bit sorry for Giveton on this one. Great talent that he is and a very soulful player he’s next to IMHO the best Alto player on the planet right now and Patrick simply takes it to another level on his solo as he does on everything he’s done with Emmet. Hope one day to see him live, what a player.

[@lxxwj]

i think he holds his own, moreso than bruce harris on after youve gone

[@chrispotter3190]

@@lxxwj I actually disagree. I think Bruce had a magnificent solo. But he played it right after possibly the best solo of the decade(Bartley). For real though, give Bruce’s solo another listen. Some insane ideas in there

[@lxxwj]

@@chrispotter3190 i actually have since making my comment and i think i was definitely writing him off. i do think there were a few intonation/articulation issues that lessened the impact somewhat though. but those tight 8th note lines are awesome

3:56 is the moment all musicians should hope to encounter!!

[@reythmband]

This is the joyous selection by which I discovered Emmett Cohen and his outstanding weekly sessions, 'Live From Emmett's Place.' I must've passed this post by a couple of times, underestimating this unassuming-looking group of guys, then one day I said, "Alriiiight, let's see what they got." Was I surprised! And joyous is the right adjective for this performance - joy is the driving energy behind it and is written all over their happy faces throughout. From the lyrics, it turns out to be a hymn, and I've been a convert ever since!

[@cynthiaobryant6001]

It's been a couple of months now since I listened to this tune and It sounds even better! This is certainly a special moment in time preserved for all time! I love the way they play this song! So well done, guys!
