The drummer is having a blast just like everyone else it seems, even more so than usual. Love to see such talented musicians having so much fun

[@alesolasz6956]

Blast is exactly why they’re doing it 😉

[@bluetrane65]

I don't know what all genres the drummer plays... i just know he's the right man for any gig

[@Akwilliams_97]

Obed is an insane drummer. Plays with the JALC orchestra. He’s even better live!

[@liuzh1han]

​@@Akwilliams_97wait but isn't this already live

[@Akwilliams_97]

@@liuzh1han good point. I meant in person 🥸

[@liuzh1han]

@@Akwilliams_97 oh.. Lol

[@TracksWithDax]

hands down best use of muted piano i've ever heard. 0% gimmicky, just 100% serving the style and sound of the solo. Incredible group overall!!

[@ethanburton9180]

4:08 Gilad surprised Russel with his lick

[@cooldebt]

How about the almost lick at 6:28 🙃

[@noalevylive]

@@cooldebt that was my FAV part of the solo!

[@everythingstand7278]

more like tone shift

[@francisthepoet]

something about the guitar tones and the drums and the muted piano and the basslines just make me feel like some earthen excitement has been awakened by the music

[@samlandon5840]

Some of my favorite guitar licks! *chef's kiss*

[@dennis288]

Emmett you muted string piano solo was amazing! You always surprise me with your playing!

[@bostoys]

the octaves section following this is beautiful too!

[@alichamas63]

I've come to learn that a friendly smile between two vibing musicians is only beaten by a smile from your child or loved ones, it's that strong.

[@camiecamper]

If I ever have a bad day ever again, this is the first place you'll find me. THE JOY THAT THIS VIDEO RADIATES

[@yangarza]

keep coming back to this day after day, week after week - pure joy

[@Akwilliams_97]

Emmet's solo is a masterclass on the effect a wonderful rhythm section (particularly a drummer) can have on the feel and story of a solo! Amazing.

[@francisthepoet]

i have listened to this over 100 times

[@DebbieDenkeMusic]

I love the way T42 evolves in this quartet version: Starting off with Emmet Cohen's piano playing of the verse (brought me back to Frank Denke playing "Tea For Two" at the St. Francis Hotel as one of my father's most popular requests - he'd also begin with the verse, then go into the main body of the tune all in his LH) - the first solo chorus being stop time comping with drummer improvising fills (reminded me of Dad playing stop time chords while Mom - a former dancer - tap danced on a rolled back carpet for after dinner guests). A guitar solo with a Latin/Cha-Cha beat laid down a danceable groove. The contrast between muted piano strings opening up into a very tasty solo, later with chromatic chord modulations (how did bassist Russell Hall know to do that?) was a delightful surprise! A bass solo, and swing ending of Tea For Two by these 4: Loved it!

[@DebbieDenkeMusic]

@@willfulkersonmusic Probably so - intuitive musicians can pick up on subtle cues (could be a note or chord quality change, or a glance from Emmet to Russell to indicate "go to these alternate set of chord changes" - I call this "Giving the Hairy Eyeball" to my music partners and hope they catch it) but it seems like the Cohen/Hall combination is incredibly intuitive!

[@roygbiv1122]

@@DebbieDenkeMusicActually, I think Russel just reacted quickly. Pay attention to the moment Emmet first starts raising the ii-V. Russel pauses to process, then catches on. This probably isn’t the first time Emmet has used these exact changes on this tune, though. It’s certainly not the only time.

[@hanfpeter4190]

12:41 onwards look at the faces, thats what music is about and Emmet never fails to deliver that message through these videos

[@yukiko_akiyama]

how is it even possible to keep a smile for 14 minutes? well, this song has managed to do so

[@awd412]

man y'all got me smiling 😄

[@RobertAcurso]

@2:50 I've never seen that technique! So nice.

[@fenixfyre]

Love seeing the guitarist incorporating his pedals, we don't see enough jazz guitarists utilizing pedal boards.

[@AndrewJanusson]

Lmao 😂

[@doughall6382]

I love the sound Emmet gets when reaches into the piano to deaden the strings! Beautiful playing all around.

[@j.garnergtr]

what a fun arrangement. had me on the edge of my seat, literally. loved it.

[@elijean-mary1532]

I love when how they in the moment decide to do the head out in swing.

[@dianarutherford6593]

Very talented band! With Emmet on piano, brilliant! Thank you very much. 😊

[@brandonjamar]

this just looked like so much fun. life doesn’t get much better than this.

[@bleu_fever]

this has brought me much joy

[@kylegeee]

One of the best drum solos of all time. The hits!

[@lawrencesiazon7925]

Beautiful song. My wife favorite song. I miss her so much when I hear this song ❤❤😂🎉🎉. I love you Yobo ❤❤. I miss you so much Judy 🎉😂❤

[@kathng8354]

Lord . Amazing . Love them all . Thank you for a beautiful music ❤

[@jxnasp3920]

Man that was the cutest drum solo ever... And i mean that in the best possible way

[@justending]

What a place it is, so much room for space in music.

[@cooldebt]

So many good moments in this brilliantly fresh take on an old tune. My favourite is the L I C (just short of it 😉) @6:28

[@doughouseworth234]

As good as it gets! A very happy place!

[@zasdercom662]

5:43 gilad quotes corey henry's lingus solo

[@Marunius]

You might be right! He does play a lot of melodies in progression though so might be a coincidence.

[@yukiko_akiyama]

no wonder it sounded so familiar

[@solaufein3029]

To me, sounds like people are seeing Cory Henry in their soup. The cold and logical AI that has replaced my heart approximates to 0.00001% the chance that Gilad was actually quoting that by playing these notes.

[@Fire-sideStories]

00:53 "shake that ass" 🤣

[@babalaughing]

Absolutely hysterical in all the right ways

[@anevartharas]

ahhhaaa! I looveee this so much! thank youuu! so cool one of my fave standards and this is mint xxx

[@NelsonRiverosMusic]

Beautiful! love to know the pedals Gilad was using for those sounds.

[@doogbazzard]

I messaged him and asked and he and he was kind enough to tell me it's a Pigtronix but he couldn't remember the name of the model. I'm pretty sure it's the Pigtronix Octava. You can see a little red pedal on the board that looks like it at 4:00 and if you check out the demo on the Pigtronix channel they have a similar tone dialed at the end of the video.
