Eric Alexander Quartet “Giant Steps”

[@mknight6]

What an honour it must have been to witness this music so intimately in the FLESH

[@KaiOwensDrums]

Joe is the only guy I’ve heard where you don’t miss the extra drums. Like no hi-hat on such a burning tune is wild. And he drives so hard and so relaxed

[@felixkcl]

Amazing playing! Out if only a snare, kick and ride, Joe make it sounds so big and sophisticated, highly respect! A legend of this generation.

[@hshlom]

When isn't Dave Kikoski on FIRE? Amazing! Thank you Linda!

Dave Kikoski idea man, wow. What a treat. And Joe swinging on a minimalist drum kit (sometimes a vomvo here and there). John keeping the band walking at such a fast tempo for such a long time. Eric should be happy (we all heard he was) playing with such a company. Thanks, Ms. Manning!

[@MarioCalzadaMusic]

Joe is my favorite drummer alive

[@nunnayuhbitness6708]

What is the drummer's last name?

[@denisrazumovicrazz2513]

[@vitorvinicius99]

Muito show!!! Só músicos excepcionais!!👏👏👏

[@fuzzylightning]

Drummer is killin it. Nice mature feel throughout.

[@kofthebaskervilles]

One of the most inspirational things i've heard in a long time. Incredible work by Joe on a minimal drum set. Unbelivable effort by Dave on keys! Joe looks excellent as always.

[@stevebr551]

Kikoski is a mad scientist!!! i need to take a xanax after hearing that!

[@tomhigley7022]

Insanely great!

[@enochsakae8840]

Wow

[@13THEMAS]

It's only right to play like Roy behind Kikoski.

[@luisfernando-mm3jt]

Muito bomm

[@playthisbass]

No amplifing on the bass! That's cruel!

[@musicmanson]

Imagine *not playing loud all the fucking time*. No need for amplification if everyone plays *musically*

[@Физ.лицо-в4ь]

Linda, could you please give reference for Eric's "Tune for Ernie"?

[@nevetsw2004]

Who's on the piano?

[@stillnessflowing9480]

That piano solo sounds like Cecil Taylor, Art Tatum. Glenn Gould, J.S. Bach, and a player piano all lost their minds together, and took it out on a keyboard using only 2 hands.

[@gatsbylight4766]

_"...using only 2 hands"?!_ How did all of those people decide which two hands would get to play?? And how did they all fit on one piano bench?? I mean, Art Tatum wasn't exactly a small fellow!! This raises so many questions. And if owls are so wise, how come they always ask _"who",_ but never ask _"why"???_

[@nevetsw2004]

Amazing!
