Godfathers of Groove Bernard "Pretty" Purdie,Grant Green Jr,Ruben Wilson March 30-31

March 30-31 at Iridium!

[@jimiV66]

Mr. Purdie is one of the most important names in the History of Drumming. He's a comet of groove, peace and love that fell onto earth and graced us all with his beautiful music.

[@Stevieboy74]

Twelve and a half minutes of untouchable groove. This is what I was born to listen to...

[@iota1122]

Man, the guitar player just put a groove in may soul.

[@gusmartins3298]

Guitar player’s Grant Green Jr. His father was among the greatest ever to touch the instrument.

[@IridiumLIVE]

Let's start off the day with the Godfathers of Groove: Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, Grant Green Jr. & Ruben Wilson. Some great #jazzmusic for the morning.

[@dikbeats2720]

Yes indeed x

[@bluedrums6900]

I saw Pretty Purdie play with Jeff Beck in 1975. It was the Blow by Blow tour. It was in LA with Mahavishnu. Ground breaking music and Purdie rocked the house. Very great concert.

[@MetalSt4r]

god damn bernard is such a damn groove meister

[@richardgould-saltman8863]

With that rhythm section, the vibes player could have juggled his mallets while doing flips, the clarinet player could have honked at random from asthma, and they could have let a bagpiper and a banjo player sit in and the groove would not have fallen apart...

[@Smoothways]

so true! The vibraphonist was just there for the show!

[@MakerNoMoney]

Just for show, A B ? He was jamming and doing tricks.

[@pegerockas]

Long live the groove!

[@cymbya]

right

[@crayhead]

Omg.. Couldn’t have stated it better..Pretty is just killin’ it!!

[@nortonscarton]

I saw these guys'show in Búzios RJ in 2004!! It was the best show in my life!!! Remembe how I was fascinated for the guitarrist and the drumer, in that time I din't know who they are hahahahha!! Fantastic, Grant Green that I love, only now I discover that was him!!! i just star to listen jazz that time.

[@crooning4leftovers125]

[@rokus100]

Incredible. Thanks for posting!!

[@skygorider]

Love these guys they are great pals see my son Ben Steele playing with them when he was 18, 16, and 9 yrs old at jazz cafe Ronnie Scotts wouldn't let anyone else on stage this summer but Ben went down to meet them as usual and chill with Grant and the guys they have been so suportive since he was 9

[@sonorstudio1]

He's got the vibe..., wauw

[@jimmymurphy7789]

1. Holy Smokes !!! - Grant Green Jr sure has Come onto his Own on the Guitar - let alone being THE Mr Grant Green's son. WOW !!! 😃 2. A real "Jimi Hendrix" on the Vibes - Man !!!

[@tralfasian]

Never seen so much passion about a vibraphone before...

[@tralfasian]

And I guess tambourine rhythm.

[@Gioagla]

moves like a steam train .....smooth and ellegant

[@clarkewi]

"Godfathers of Groove" says it all.

[@sheiffa]

Some kick ass jamming is going out there :D Good job guys!

[@FearingFarewell]

bernard purdie, what a guy!

[@clubhousemusic1]

I never though that I would say this, but that xylophone solo (1:21-3:18) is killer!

[@PeterVred]

Caleb Householder It gets easier after you say it that first time. Like..."killer accordion solo!!" It' the same thing.

[@clubhousemusic1]

+Peter Vred you do have a point, good sir.

[@iankurlan538]

+Caleb Householder Its a vibraphone

[@clubhousemusic1]

+Ian Kurlan whoops, I'm sorry. But regardless, the solo on that vibraphone sounds incredible.

[@petesheehan6927]

+Walt Coyle Or Mike Manieri with Steps Ahead....

[@barneylongacre8123]

I notice GG Jr plays some parts a lot like his dad, I love em both! Pretty is sweet! I could have sat in on bass. They could carry me.

[@owenchapman971]

aaaaaahhh . . . . junior. i was confused af

[@junkbot2.1]

that vibrophone player is badass

[@terminatorx2545]

I live in Rochester NY. No more clubs like Sheps paradise to see this great stuff anymore.

[@StashStainlessBass]

It is so great groooooooooooooooove

[@jadangelo1945]

Sensacional, tipo de música que aprecio e os solos dos excelentes músicos são maravilhosos com muito swing.

[@Baribrotzer]

It'd be fun to see the vibes guy jamming with Leo P. - just to see who could go more over-the-top with the showmanship, and still play music.

[@labaschannel]

maravilloso El vibrafonista se parece a Lionel Hampton

[@joeshittheragman1]

totally contagious ahhhhh groove

[@theurgist]

Amazing!

[@dong4176]

THAT POCKET😎..BERNARD THE DRUM MACHINE PURDIE

[@gerritveldhuisen7748]

Lionel is Back in Town.!

[@patmackie3499]

Pure class....1luv 😎

[@toreswe]

These are some awesome gubbs!

[@drummerpop]

Jason "Malletman" Taylor on vibes.

[@jfmayer]

pure sweetness!!!!

[@DavidJF123]

yeah! It's very common in trios and other groups for the organ to play the bassline :D

[@pacmanlp8876]

Wow, they are playing on March 30-31. I knew they must be from the future...

[@hiphopkid2]

they brought gtrant back frm the dead incredible

[@JesseENew]

[@johntresemer5631]

I really love the vocal equalizing of guitar playing.

[@funklover24]

Wow, these guys really are godfathers.

[@62kenmiles]

garovvvvvvveeeeeee. fantastic....

[@jpuglisi6865]

so smooth--- next to this, silk worms spin burlap

[@dikbeats2720]

Fucking magic.. Vibes player is having it off! Super cool and quite funny

[@SchileShile]

Belle performance ! ça joue et c'est bon !

[@sam11985]

Thumbs up anyone seeing Godfathers at Ronnie Scotts in June!

[@dwayneaguiar1148]

Bernard for years great drummers would tell me stores. about how these drummer.s came up with monster groovs to this and that song. and they where right. Mr Pretty I think you are the master of funk. im going to put some time and learn your style it can only make me a better player. Thank you so much.......................Dwayne480 on youtube.

[@BariumSulphate]

Eu estava lá também! E era dia do rock! O único senão é que o sax do Mascarenhas estava mais alto que qualquer outra coisa, e o cara queria solar todas! Mas o Purdie estava lá, já era o bastante!

[@henryslocumb8992]

GROOVE MASTERS

[@peterluck6123]

i want the vibes to make a come back in music !! i want a vibes player !

[@jerrywatkins2198]

great video but they need to show Bernard when he takes his solo

[@johnkeen7825]

Great trio! (I think the clarinet dude must have been the club owners son)

[@clarkewi]

Wow. What more can you say?

[@DanielRaffobluesguitar]

Fantastic, who is on Percussion, does he could be working with Morris Day and The Time?

[@Dewabarasunderan]

1:20 didn't expect that;)

[@grupolasnoras7223]

SABROSISIMOS

[@Tomith]

I want to 'like' this video every minute again ! Damn .. Thats hot !

[@AlmostEthical]

Pretty Purdie shows how it's done.

[@deepbluntman___8650]

There are not enough videos from Bernard on KZbin!!! 🙈

[@arc236]

Cool to hear GG scat singing too.

[@ChristianValk]

This is high art. This is, what I mean with "Jazz": The bassist has canceled 5min to Gig-start with an e-mail, the youth on clarinet is encouraged (but once without a working mic), Grandmaster Bernie sits behind the drums and the man at vibes has taken a nice energy drink. So take next time better care for your feet, Brother! And what do we learn from this: "On Broadway" is really good as 15 min piece;)

[@carlandre8610]

if you can make people dance you got a gig

[@rustybones99]

Young Howard Stern on the clarinet.

[@paulprice6330]

rustybones99 Hey now!

[@Shakedoctorsblues]

Sweet!

[@iota1122]

Damn these beers "my" soul

[@deadzior]

Grant Green had a son that is also a guitarist?! Mind = blown.

[@SuperNoobTroll]

looks like smooth jazz

[@RAMLIA1]

♥♥♥

[@MetaEuphony]

The clarinet solo was exquisite. Completely overshadowed the rest.

[@ahmadrulz]

This was a super performance! I was @ Iridium the day this took place. Second set of the night. Would you be having any more of these from that day?

[@skittl3z2311]

i wanna be black now

[@jpuglisi6865]

we all are according to science, just only the darker variety has rhythm, athleticism, moves. Shoot fire now, white guys loose the under bite and dance.

[@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician]

According to WHAT science? Show me any scientific work (if there is any) or stop believing any information just found on the internet.

[@verandi3882]

tell me about it , not because of music, but they are really damn tall mostly , I just want to be tall , seriously

[@BIGAPEGANGLEADER]

White Europeans (northern and central) are the tallest people on the planet by far

[@verandi3882]

+MAD “SKRILLABOYZ” SKRILLA I know , especially the Dutch dudes , with average height of 180 cm I guess , so I may suggest that an easy way to sort immigrants is by looking at their height , eh?

[@younyounyoun.]

OMGGG ^^

[@rhauf55]

Wow. Yes, who was the guy on vibes??? Great to see Grant Green alive, happy and well!

[@DiscoFang]

GG Junior, not quite the same.

[@Littlewhitelephant]

My guess: the godfathers of groove wanted to demonstrate: You just don't need a clarinet if you're grooving already.. And me too, I'd like to know who's doing the vibes ....

[@malicexcx]

Hats off to purple suit xylophone guy.

[@novasco55]

looks like fun

[@XxStrongDrums1996xX]

This video could last several hours and I would still say that it was too short.

[@sebajo82]

2:18 AWESOME

[@aaronnix7011]

I think the microphone used to record this just couldn't pick up the clarinet very well. They guy seems to know what hes doing based on what little I could hear.

[@Guncalled]

he's playing "air clarinette".

[@TimothyJAmposta]

While the guy on the Xylophone was getting off was anyone else thinking of the cat daddy? :D

[@fastedward53]

purdie good !!!!!!

[@BITESIZEJONES]

Funky as fuck

[@viniciusb.h8895]

jazz master

[@Wally-H]

Did someone buy that kid a place on stage with his clarinet for his birthday? What on earth is he doing up there?

[@buzonperiodista]

+John Clark He's playing.

[@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician]

He sorta played the outro and pretended to be black.

[@DiscoFang]

He was actually playing pretty damn well but clearly has zero clues about microphones and amplification. Looked a bit like first-time stage fright.

[@nojtone59]

Photo bombed by Mr. Les Paul!

[@osumdman]

Who’s the guy on vibes?

[@eckeynecker]

is no one dancin ird be groovin to that if i was there

[@cheapthrillonthetube4027]

Fuck yeah!

[@cheapthrillonthetube4027]

So, who is the bells player anyhow? I've never seen a showman quite like him on the bells before.

[@newislandguitar]

Jason "Malletman" Taylor.(Vibraphone)jazz recording artist and protégé of the late, legendary Lionel Hampton, .five-time Grammy ballot-nominee, TV Host and Producer, great musician and person. For more info visit:www.yamaha.com/artists/jasontaylor.html

[@cheapthrillonthetube4027]

[@y34r]

[@Dravaine]

[@marcovortexbohler]

[@DiscoFang]

[@marcovortexbohler]

@@DiscoFang simplicity is key

[@chrisfowell267]

[@chutetom]

Who is playing the vibes?

[@IridiumLIVE]

They call him "mallet man"

[@lenroyrichards5904]

[@drmcscroogle240]

Uncle Phil on guitar, ladies and gentlemen.

[@samghezzi]

[@oliverecords8524]

@rhauf55 well it's Grant Green JR :)
