[FULL VIDEO] Beneath the Underdog: Charles Mingus Revisited (Prom 53) - feat. Leo P

[@DexM47]

That drummer is amazing. Absolute perfect drumming throughout the whole concert.

[@limebadunka7086]

Man, the drummer was absolutely on POINT throughout the whole concert. Even corrected the tempo issue in the beginning of Moanin' without making it too noticeable. A true beast!

[@bensel1547]

You can notice he is a bit early at the end of his solo. lets call it enthousiasm :) Stellar performance

[@gabrielguzman8812]

He messed up on a solo but played it off

[@kennyriley2198]

I like this commemt because not alot of people give enough credit to the drummer of a concert because they, along with the bass line, are responsible for keeping the tempo so the performers are in time. Without them, everyone would have to rely too heavily on the conductor and look at their music a lot less.

[@ablubird1451]

Yeah I noticed that with moanin too

After such warmup Leo goes straight to local subway to play!

There's not many jazz stages where Christian Scott isn't the most eccentric personality, but I like his relaxed demeanor here. Plays real well, too.

[@harold6583]

He was outclassed and upstaged here, and seemed surly because of it. It was fascinating to see him actively try and torpedo the bari sax performance.

[@moist_soup7215]

Shabaka Hutchins is truly phenomenal in his solo in boogie stop. The lick at 6:04 is literally the coolest clarinet lick I’ve ever heard

[@SaxophonianPlayer]

At this moment when he played that lick I realized how jazzy a clarinet could get and his solo made me want to play a clarinet again

[@clutchmatic]

Everyone obviously is excellent but the drummer is the only one who ran a marathon non-stop. Amazing stamina and musicality.

How they didnt burn the Royal Albert to the ground I HAVE NO IDEA?? So HOT!! Thank you to everyone!

[@VolvoImpala]

Charles Mingus is my favorite jazz musician. Hands down. Favorite bandleader, favorite composer. It's all there. Favorite bassist. I mean he made his compositions nice and bass centered rather than piano centered (thanks to his sympatico pianists) so that not only could the bass breathe but then the horns were breathing too. And Dannie Richmond, his lifelong best friend, was equally deferential as a drummer to his bass playing and that's tough to see in a music where usually when a bass solo occurs the drummer has to back out as much as possible just so you can hear it. Mingus's 1964 and Changes bands are my favorites.

[@billglass5160]

DubzMusic Are you playing in a big band or others? Are there lots of arrangements for bass sax? I play bari in a big band and wouldn't mind trying bass but don't know where.

[@dubzmusic4255]

Bill Glass you should definitely try bass sax in both just in big bands you need to be aware that maybe you're the only bass sax. I recommend if you do mess up you go in arrangements.

[@dubzmusic4255]

A not so sexy sax man i know my dude.

[@billglass5160]

I think so too. I'm only a musician not an arranger. I think I saw a bass only once in a big band on you tube. One should always try but the risk to "mess up" looks really high.

[@dubzmusic4255]

Bill Glass its the same fingering for all saxophones but adding in more air and working on tempo and circular breathing is going to come in and you're going to be exhausted but your body will get used to it thats how Leo has a firm grip in his playing.
