RIP the GOAT Roy Hargrove!

[@eberniewon]

This tune transports the listener to another place. One of Herbie's most sublime compositions...

[@zyronewhite4393]

The Best of the Best Herbie Hancock don't forget Waw Waw and the Drummer as my Mom would say Mercy.

[@nattyhead5988]

Terri Lyne Carrington on point.

[@westondiggs4324]

Eargasm, yes lord. Herbie Hancock is from another planet, unreal, unbelievable...

[@samanthastewart1773]

i can strongly feel the energy and essence of these wonderful black men. i wish i was one of them up there

[@duhranwilson]

I have lost count on how many times I have listened to this. Rest in Peace Roy Hargrove. You are an inspiration!

[@jerometaylor4243]

Marcus Miller on Bass Clarinet?!! WOW!!

[@nattyhead5988]

What a performance. A brilliant group of musicians. Kudos to Terri Lyne Carrington for keeping it tight.

[@MrDevinDove]

Roy's tone. Those first few notes . Amazing ! It was over from the beginning ! Amazing !!

[@Drivethebeat]

4:07 He concurs.

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

Superb. I think Marcus Miller is just the coolest cat in jazz

[@pocketdrummer1025]

World class musician lineup!

[@charlenesaunders2632]

Truly MIND BLOWNING Artists performing a surreal experience!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@westwindpainting]

Real music by real musicians . That's it 👍

[@billneath8665]

Herbert Hancock is easily the greatest and best jazz pianist and Keyboard player that's out there and for those of you that know he's been around a hell of a long time; he's a living legend.

[@joeeaton2422]

Wrong,................there is no such thing as "Best".........consider McCoy, Bill Evens.....Fats Waller,.....Count Basie...........etc., etc..........they are all unique as the spices in your kitchen,.........F', get a brain,...........all the spices are unique and all are essential..........get some wisdom..........

[@billneath3273]

Over the course of time I've been lucky enough to have seen some of the individual musicians in this Headhunters band live in their own individual projects

[@billneath3273]

Jazz Music really doesn't get any better than this its in a class of its own absolutely Top Drawer!

[@tallbass]

No mention of Derrick Hodge playing Marcus’ bass when Marcus is playing bass clarinet! ? Put him in the credits!

[@frankbrown917]

One of my favorites by Mr. Herbie Hancock....who am I kidding their all my favorites. Mr. Hancock sir thank you for decades of wonderful music. May your sound and concepts live forever. Your music always inspires me sir. Blessings.

[@MoRobi0515]

It's sad the state of the world when this video only has eighteen thousand views...

[@dwightmoore6431]

+MoRobi0515 I know this is acid jazz man can't get any better

[@SoAsILiveSoAmIDeep]

So many american legends...in the music!

[@charlesweldy7712]

Yes, and about a thousand of them are me! Can’t get enough of this!

[@l.artista1403]

People lose art in their world's sadly

[@joeeaton2422]

Their too busy studying Britney's ass

[@rhymeon]

A great cast on a live version of an awesome track.... and wow!!!! Marcus Miller (the 'Grand national funk champion' as he was once described by Dave Grusin) being so damn audacious on that bass clarinet there. Marcus is one that can seeming play any song on pretty much any instrument.

[@albertbrown359]

So many of the comments do not embrace the essence of African American Classical music. WE flow with the spirit of the music.Greatest is spread far and wide across the personalities of our musical galaxies. DIG?

[@jeromewalters1916]

Man I love this performance. Roy is unbelievable!

[@quillerszasza]

Hey Marcus, you forgot to mention that awesome "bass clarinet" in the description ;-) Very nice piece!

[@paulocezarmartins1291]

Great tune Marcus, great goup brilant, thanks. You great musician. Thanks. Rio de Janeiro. Brasil.

[@free2bpoppie]

Terri Lynne Messrs me up with her texture! This is just bad ass smooth!

[@kbron3250]

Pure genius.

[@rillloudmother]

I love when Roy gets the flugel on!

[@RCPowerbusByProxy]

Most brilliant! Still going strong! Utmost respect! Thanks for posting.

[@joshuaholme5115]

Couldn't hold my legs together for this one!!!!!

[@franckdebank]

just let it go my dude😄😄

[@GeorgyPorgyPuddingPie]

Marcus Miller playing Bass clarinet? Omg, this guy do anything. Marcus used to play all instruments in his first albums.

[@carineverstraete1375]

Great version with Marcus on Bass Clarinet !

[@MThomas001]

Dang! Nice work.

[@tutufonseca4776]

Awesome....

[@miropribanic5581]

0:16 if you play with Herbie ...make sure he doesn't look over his shoulder to cue you in ;-) I love that concert, it's one of my favs on youtube. This intro to "Butterfly" is Herbie's piano/keyboard style in a nutshell; I cannot talk about the solo... it's out of this world.

[@CharmelMooreJoiner]

One Moment I'm just discovering Herbie Hancock's 'BUTTEFLY" and the NEXT..... I can't get enough.......

[@retroyota22]

anyone notice Derrick Hodge on bass?

[@AvrittRohwer]

I don't know for sure but the bassist at the beginning does look pretty similar to Hodge

[@jjarrah]

..and playing THAT famous MM Jazz Bass :)

[@nimrodlevy3800]

does look like him!

[@miropribanic5581]

I always thought that playing slow, yet still groovy funk is way more difficult than doing it fast....well the composer of this tune and the "guest-bass-clarinetist" know all about this ;-)

[@derwinhutchinson9972]

Genius

[@user-iy1qf6fq9w]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrRoger2306]

Som maravilhoso! Grande Herbie Hancock.

[@glennover6046]

Just so darn good!

[@koracebonner3197]

That percussion break with guitar😲😲😲 and of course Mr. Hargrove R.I.P.

[@gurugusguru9724]

Temazo..! siempre sorprende Hancock...

[@antoniogoncalves4617]

Better, impossible.Incredible!

[@taurus4205]

Terry Lynne. Goddess. 🔥❤️

[@OursDéplumé]

thanx universe for this

[@robertvaron1178]

You forgot Derrick hodge

[@LarsVision]

Sublime.

[@joeeaton2422]

Weston said it best,..............this is music on a different planetary level............

[@user-iy1qf6fq9w]

Wah Wah adds the spice

[@nickpelkey]

I've tried to toot one of those bass clarinets.. I'll need lots more practice. My hats off to you.

[@MrLeaff]

[@james5276]

[@MyAerobics]

It is so FABULOUS , Lordy, Lordy 🤗🥰🥰🥰🤗

[@jeanlucchapelon]

T L Carrington 👍👍

[@dallen3000]

So I'm a bass player. Totally forgot Marcus Miller was the one who did the bass clarinet on this song. I've been getting kind of obsessed and wanted to try bass clarinet because of this song mostly. So now I have a bass clarinet and only now do i realize: 1, low c clarinets exist And 2, that is obviously not the instrument i now own. .... FML

[@mishuthecat]

RIP Roy Hargrove

[@andrewkaplan6212]

mishuthecat yup

[@jameskerry41]

This what is meant by the term "cookin"....RIP Roy H

[@Drivethebeat]

Does anybody care that the program didn't change at 10:39? I don't!

[@DoobieV]

I love seeing little mistakes like that. It’s funny how Herbie juggled with it, played while adjusting and playing the piano and keytar until he had a moment to get it to cooperate!

[@Drivethebeat]

@@DoobieV Yeah he got whip sawed for a minute back to the piano, it's turned down now back to the Korg it's turned down.. Just leave the volume turned up Tokyo!

[@junyah1]

Terri so cold

[@Below-Average_Joe]

It is hard to see how this got any dislikes. I guess some folks need to stay in their lanes.

[@_omega420]

I swear I've seen the guy in yellow before in a Matrix movie

[@fedekalayGNR]

I can see the ivory piano on the screen of Herbie's mac. Anyone knows whats the other software? the one it is in front?

[@DesLysProdArtist]

+Federico Kalayjian I think Pro 53 from Native Instrument static.kvraudio.com/i/b/pro53.jpg

[@fedekalayGNR]

+Azerlylo Ok, thanks!

[@Hoslt]

Does anybody know how that descending oooh sound is made? I can't decide if it's one of the guitars or some percussion instrument.

[@arthurbeese7694]

Search Moose call on conga I think that’s that

[@joshuaeg5629]

1:06 ain't he marcus miller?

[@Afrojoeful]

He posted video and didnt add that.....😎😎😎

[@Mr.Neyetro]

Many people don't know, but MM is a better clarinetist than bass player, being classically trained on the bass clarinet.

[@stefanguels]

Let's agree on that he might have had better education on the clarinet... But his skill level on the bass is undoubtedly superiour to his clarinet playing.

[@Mr.Neyetro]

+stefanguels I would go that far, he's probably equally as great. He wouldn't have been playing bass clarinet with Miles if he wasn't a beast.

[@TheMasterKillerify]

Does anyone know how the percussionist made the conga sounds at the beginning? The pwooom sound effect :p I can't seem to find it or how it's called anywhere on the internet..

[@RequintoCarreras]

with saliva on the finger :p

[@joohanlee2459]

Who was the bass clarinetist? Love the textural timbre of the player.

[@Monk118]

Bassist Marcus Miller

[@ATLS702]

Does Wah Wah have a guitar pick for a tongue??

[@ThePremel]
