Loved the dueling tenors but truly great at the end playing together- positively joyful! Joint is always jumping at Emmet’s Place !🎶❤️

[@jaykay1053]

These are not just great musical offerings but you are also showing what comes from cooperation and heartfelt encouragement and respect for each other. That’s what gives me hope for the future. Thank you so much.

Music into the vein...

[@jaykay1053]

Actually, these ‘battles’ illustrate what peace looks like. 😉

[@bluessax5089]

When I first listened, I thought one guy won then later I listened, and I thought other guy won. Now I am listening again, and I think it’s a stalemate! See what I did there?😅 Oh crap….Stablemate 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@RobertForejtekjazz]

How old is Abdias?😮

[@PermanentWater]

What's this standard?

[@EvanWiederandersMusic]

Cherokee

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

You can play as long as you take off your shoes first. Awesome trade offs.

[@hanzle]

Adbias and Philip Norris are the new hotness

[@davidbruskin8336]

Everyone is firing on all cylinders here (remember those)? Before this began, I expected two great tenors (which is what we got), but I don't recall hearing a tenor battle where the playing styles are so different yet so compatible. Abdias is an unusually melodically-minded soloist, especially for an up-tempo like this, and Ruben rapid-fires great ideas. To hear them trade with, contrast, and complement each other -- it sent this to a whole other level. The rhythm section is always swinging, but the chemistry here was outstanding. Special call out to Philip Norris -- more than a few times, I realized that some particularly sweet moments were in no small part because of the bass line, which shined even brighter because of Kyle and Emmet. Everybody fed off of each other's energy. This was really special -- and one more piece on Emmet's channel that I will return to repeatedly.

[@Jlt0788]

Abdias Armenteros should play John Coltrane 'A LOVE SUPREME" !!!

[@DannyClassics]

What tune is this?

[@critic8587]

Cherokee

[@MrGuto]

8:45

[@DannyClassics]

I should have just waited till the end. I thought it was Cherokee, but I was confused that it was in Ab, so I figured it was a different tune. Thanks for the help though. I'll now listen to this in it's entirety.

[@christopherl373]

@@DannyClassics yeah I just noticed they’re playing it in Ab! A cool twist/challenge to keep everyone on their toes.

[@eliottmorst]

this battle is very difficult to judge….but if i had to decide it would be red shirt dude…..he got that class and that raw raw

[@innocentemmanuel7575]

Can hear dexter gordon

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Both guys were good but for my money Ruben is the smoothest playing g more traditional guy I’ve heard.

[@eliottmorst]
