Bill Laurance - Red Sand (Swift)

[@groundUPmusicNYC]

Number 2 on the itunes Jazz charts! itunes.apple.com/gb/album/swift/id972938203

[@Danielcrspo]

That bass line though.........................So hip, so funky. Love your style BILL! And of course sput on percussion. Mad cool. So many rich textures, I love the skipping affect at the end, very next level.

[@intervarsitynynj7882]

Isn't he from Snarky Puppy?

[@Danielcrspo]

Maritza Crespo YUUUP! That's why it's so good, they all have very similar influences and put together really intricate music that showcases what is truly possible with music.

[@GnumatiComa]

Daniel Crespo They're all from Snarky Puppy, plus extended and not often seen members.

[@albe1216]

Bill is't the bass player

[@MyndofAdiisa]

I heard this for the first time ever yesterday on the radio of all places on the way home from work. And I had to pull over because this blew me away...had to immediately search for the name of the track. One of the most amazing pieces of music I've heard in a while, if not of all time thus far. This is why I love music

[@dominichumlie]

What channel?

[@MyndofAdiisa]

@@dominichumlie don't remember unfortunately, some AM station in Germany

[@ov3rcl0cked]

@@dominichumlie I've heard Snarky Puppy on KUVO Jazz out of Denver before.

[@andrewxu3602]

Have you listened to Swag Times? That one's also amazing.

[@GiantSlayer512]

Bill's music is the closest thing i have found to describe the e-motions of my Soul 😊

[@HelloitsMrChase]

That outro!! that whole song was amazing but that outro was just...i can't even find the words to describe it!

[@HM-2011]

+Mr. Chase Music I hear you brother, the whole tune is super groovy but that whole outro is from Magicland, it just turns on that hidden switch in the body, I cannot control my dancing here.

[@davecarver4388]

Putting the Brilliance in Bill Laurance.

[@Icaras1]

I am freaked out! Just when you think music can't get any better. Every nerve in my body is jangling listening to this! Just genius. Nothing more - genius!

[@christiantorsell8119]

The trading that goes on between Bill Laurance and Michael league from 3:11 until about 4:20 is PERFECT!

[@gabuphilippe8924]

Totally agree....

[@tylersmith7925]

It might be my favorite trading section I’ve ever heard

[@felixknight8211]

Thanks to everybody who wrote this, you never fail to produce the best music ever.

[@jayfailing6714]

listening to PBS, public radio, this cut came on chased it down to UTube and so stoked to discover Bill Laurance and Support Musicians brilliant! we like discovering..

[@dang579]

Is no one going to mention how they're banging spoons against buckets as an instrument? True work of art.

[@brianmi40]

Not to mention the Film Reel container!

[@danielap295]

We need to have a sort of advent calendar of songs up until the album releases. This is too good

[@ianhendrytube]

I just woke up my pregnant fiance and shes sooo mad. I forgot my headphones in my studio and had to listen to this. Amazing. Thanks for the night on the couch Bill \m/

[@spacejazz6272]

worth it?

[@stephenstrussvideo]

Wow. A++ Bill, Michael and the GroundUp fam -- i can't wait for this album. And those little glitches at the end, yeah, more of those. just everywhere.

[@benjamincarney9875]

Wonderful composition, performance and oh man do the film reel cannister, washboard and Champagne bucket all sound bloody amazing. Gave me goosebumps.

[@noamberger651]

A combination of one amazing player, composer and arranger, and incredible performers.

[@nathanp2575]

Hey ya'll, I agree with every comment of goodness. I'm so thankful to know about these musicians - they're REDEEMING music & inspiring a new generation. My 6 and 4 year old boys can't get enough, just like they daddy. WAY TO GO!!

[@sameelatif]

amazed at the drummer

[@wastagwaga]

2:14 That woman is just terrified of her sheet music.

[@jockeykas]

she just doesn't want to spoil the tempo

[@Thenextphasemusic]

Such a stunning piece!

[@spencecity99]

That was a masterpiece, you guys are my inspiration to play.

Then you should listen to The Curtain (7 years late, I know)

[@jeroenbeltman515]

Fantastic movie score, again...

[@roquemusic]

My goodness the end just grooves so HARD!

[@hygri]

That bass/rhodes conversation is the best thing I've ever heard.

[@Mauplaya1227]

YES!!! I've been waiting, and it looks like it's been worth the wait.

[@sichard.rimmons]

[@alixmorris5953]

Bill Laurance! So masterful and this outro is fire!!!! THAT BASS!!!

[@markdowddesign]

Great Song! Looking forward to the album!

[@bongsgi95]

Damn that walk at 5:00 is some of the most slippery stuff Michael has made!

[@johnwestbaymusic]

That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen / heard. You guys are monsters!! Absolute geniuses. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!

Love the change at 2:22... Wow! Incredibly cool stuff. And that bass player is all kinds of nasty! (And so is everyone else in the band!)

[@katlegomorodi1149]

Wow man the music ❤️

[@ItsRainingSteak]

BA. a collab with hiatus kaiyote would be out of this world

[@aquariuslibrarian]

Literally just listened to them before this

[@1MarkKeller]

Moonchild comes to mind as well.

[@karaborajuili62]

This is freaking awesome!!!!!!!

[@roquemusic]

I wish I could give this a million likes!

[@eugeneizmailov6815]

This is amazing!!!

[@joshjamesuk]

That bass lick at 3:43 is ridiculous.

[@esetabu9682]

amazing!

[@QualityBackingTracks]

The slices toward the end of the track are a really interesting choice. I like the slivers of reverse, but I personally found the stuttering to be slightly disruptive to the immersion. That said, absolutely phenomenal work by all the muscians as always! Please keep making this amazing music!

[@remonemad7305]

I Love It

[@lunaticriad5617]

this needs more and more views..

Starting from minute 4:26 remind me Azymuth - Dear Limmertz

[@victorhugo-mx3ii]

[@toniogro]

Is there any possibility for any of Michael's acquaintances to have a, not even bad, but at least middling musician? I mean... It's so impressive!

[@SAPIRM]

cool!

[@KwesiAyoKweRobinson]

yesssss!!!!!!!!!

[@guitarjam6]

Stupid good stuff gents. Good to see Mike playing that lead bass on the Fodera. Sexy.

[@MisterstereoOso]
