You finesse it. - Yet, you never force it. *You simply make yourself available to it….* 🙌🏼🙌🏾 And we see a calibre of cats who not only yield to such vibes, but dare to elevate them… *equal parts musician & magician.* 🪄 *As a true master of our craft, we are in service to something that is greater than ourselves.* 🌎✨ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *We show up.* *We hit the shed,* …but *shed* the self-importance, self-doubt, & self-criticism that can ‘scramble’ this frequency. In so doing, there’s nothing left but a *pure vibration and the intention to simply swing.* Alchemy, baby. 🪄💫 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *The combined generations of practice brings a refined mindset* that manifests the magic we experience each Monday night. 🎼 🎹 *Emmet Cohen,* piano, and *Phillip Norris,* bass, were joined by the modern greats: - *Brian Lynch,* on trumpet, tenor saxophonist *Craig Handy,* & trio member and drummer, *Joe Farnsworth.* We witnessed all of these cats resonate at a shared frequency… 🔊💥 You don’t get to this stage of intuition & musicianship, by simply being good. *The vibes gotta be high -* And joyfully contributing to this Life-energy is what makes the swing all worthwhile. No need to think too hard: *It’s a feeling. . .not a philosophy.* 📡🔥🫶🏽 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The same universal vibes are responsible for preserving the royalty of this music tradition: - *Legends* who embody the meaning of high vibrations. 🧿 This past week, revered drummer, *Roy Haynes celebrates 99 years of Life & an unparalleled legacy of rhythmic genius* 🥁❤‍🔥 …And our treasured tenor *“Big G” George Coleman, celebrates 89 years of brilliance as a sax sage & soulful master to a new era of musicians.* 🏆 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I adore the heartfelt comments of our community… 💡 Everyone who shares a connection with these cats, has felt the unmistakable impact of their ‘elite vibrations’, no matter where they are on the map. This synergy not only connects us to a classic era, but leads us towards new harmonic & rhythmic realms. I’m deliriously proud of sharing this tradition & journey with each of you. May we preserve these vibes, & a shared commitment to aspire higher. 📡🔥♥

Thank you, Meira_A, for your devotion. Greetings from Switzerlad.

Pensativa is from Claire Fisher,

[@lrsmth06]

@@gestor2008 they are playing the arrangement from Art Blakey's "Free For All" which featured Cedar Walton but I think that version was arranged by Freddie Hubbard so I don't know why they listed it as Walton's composition here

[@Meira_A]

Guys - The track record with composer details has been respectably solid. The correct credit to Fischer was made: 1.) *Douglas Clare Fischer* - (a highly-regarded composer, who is male. The correct spelling has been included) - & I encourage checking out Fischer’s contributions to the Latin catalogue -as a Univ. of Michigan alum, I won’t hesitate to point out Fischer as a Michigan State grad. (any cat will speak the program’s praises.) *~*~*~*~*~*~* 2.) The reference of Cedar Walton was strictly to distinguish his specific album & recording date for *general knowledge* - and *not* to be inferred as the arrangement for this performance…No confusion intended. I’m here to honor the swing & not distract from it. - Walton has been a deep inspiration for Emmet & Joe’s had the great gift of being his sideman. While Blakey’s ‘64 recording can be heard, it’s my hope this Pensativa in Emmet’s living room will be recognized for its beautiful originality. If you’d like to offer an anecdote of Freddie’s arrangement with the Messengers I’m sure members of our community will dig the insight. ♥️🎯

No ego fight, just MONSTER musicians listening to each other serving the music. I love Cohen and his friends so much.

[@user-pl3ll8fq1p]

No musician is beautiful to look at when he plays like a jazz player. Humble and joyful at the same time. Fantastic...(Trad.Google)❤ from Italy Cohen,Norris Lynch,Handy,Farnsworth

[@joelaffolter2392]

Brian Lynch, outstanding musician, great sound quality, good taste, swing. Not sufficiently promoted in general and too little known on this side of the Atlantic... Seen in Nice (France) with Phil Woods in 1993, already exceptional, thank you for highlighting him in this context.

[@joshlevine.cuartetoguataca]

D-d-d-dang! Amazing! 🔥

[@kamranagaev1155]

Great Music!

[@jerrybauer8108]

Serious Jazz music as we were listening to in our golden days. No BS nowhere.

[@OudeWellington]

just out of curiosity: what would bs encompass? also: what would "unserious" jazz be? kinda puzzled here 🤔

[@laonza7036]

I was listening to old school jazz exclusively for years until I recently found this channel cuz honestly I did not know there were players this good around anymore. Where the hell have I been?

[@ginohernandez5143]

CRAIG HANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christophegaudissart6551]

craiggggggggg

[@buckeyelax4516]

He was my guy! Split Second Timing was a must have early 1990s record. It was one of the best examples of jazz for that period. It is always on my recommended list. I have most of his records as leader. Speaking of Craig, When It’s Haynes It Roars was a bitch. Happy B-Day ROY!

[@pierfrancescovalente]

First time hearing of him…. WHAT A MONSTER!!!

[@buckeyelax4516]

@@pierfrancescovalente which one?

[@beeshor1]

Great performances all the way 'round. And let's show Brian Lynch some love. The man can still blow! And Craig Handy....the man is definitely channeling the ancestors on this session! Emmet is always a boss. But this is my first time digging the bassist. He blew my wig when he soloed on "Breakthrough"! And Joe Farnsworth is already a notorious swinger so I didn't even have to mention it. This has been about the tastiest couple of hours that I've spent in a long stretch of living and loving this music. And that's saying something!

[@Archie583]

Phil Norris is the real deal.

[@ronaldthomas74]

Love this sound !!!! 2024 .......

[@magnus9839]

Brian Lynch is SO underrated, absolutely one of my very favorite trumpet players

[@pelicans456]

Always been a huge Craig Handy fan, he sounds great

[@billystrayhornsghost]

This is a cooking session.Opening up with a Hank Mobley straight up banger.Setting the mood for what's to come.Great playing by all.

[@DavidHoffmanTrumpet]

Yep, set the tone for sure

[@samiannone219]

How are Emmet and Joe so locked in, especially when Emmet solos it’s insane🤯

[@DavidHoffmanTrumpet]

Huge ears

[@DavidHoffmanTrumpet]

What tasty selection of tunes, starting with the tribute to Hank. His tunes are not played often enough. And this combination of is MAGICAL 💕

Awesome session!

Farnsworth - a Master Drummer - such a pleasure watching and listening to him :)

This is so burning right from the jump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

Joe, your little speech reminded me of your brother James, who I still miss terribly, bless his heart, and yours. Sending some good vibes your direction.😊

[@martinryves7083]

I saw Craig Handy over the years with the Mingus Big Band at Ronnie Scotts club.Wonderful tone! I play tenor and the only thing I have in common with Craig is the spit coming out of the bloody G# key! Glad I'm in good company!

[@daleproctor3723]

Special thanks to JazzTimes? That still exists! Hard to believe!!

[@IntrepidFox94]

Farnsworth is ridiculous. Hope to be able to see him perform one day

[@buckeyelax4516]

My guys! Saw Brian Lynch in 1991 with Javon Jackson, McBride, Keezer and Louis Hayes! Sounded great then and still doing it!!! Back Room Blues! Keep Your Circle Small!!!

[@chuckhutch4104]

Been a fan of Brian since his days in Milwaukee playing at the old Jazz Estate

[@jbtrace22]

Someone in chat said "This is sort of like propaganda for Life" and it made me laugh but felt true hahah, a vibrant and mind-blowing performance this evening and def my favorite now! the cats were out of control

[@bryandickerson5365]

Shout out to Craig H from Bryan, your 2nd Tenor man on the ‘86 DJO jazz cruise! How lucky I was to spend that time (and THIS time) listening and learning. Everybody killin’ it here but MAN - Emmett and Joe on the chorus starting at 10:28..good lord that was sooo cool!

[@gkostur]

Bryan!!!

[@bryandickerson5365]

@@gkostur Glenn!!!! You should be at Emmetts place blowin’! It’s extra fun to see old band mates like Craig and Joe tearing it up. I would love to catch up with you, man. OK, since you’re here - what is their first tune? It’s right on the tip o’ my tongue. McCoy Tyner, right?
