Insane JAZZ TRIO makes me want to QUIT

This performance of A Night In Tunisia by the great Jesus Molina ( ‪@Jesusmolinamusic‬ ) is simply staggering. So technical, so musical, but oh man, that rhythm is so insane. (Hat tip to Roni Kaspi and Sam Smith)

Incredible analysis!! 👏👏👏👏! Thank you 🙏

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Jesus! What a compliment. Thank you for letting me share your talent with the world.

[@phoeni-x7324]

the time signature is 11/8

[@abiggoodbye]

I got 21/16

[@zeitgeistyreport]

love jesus molina… been following him since he was a kid. no idea why he isn’t a household name.

[@adrolfe]

Thank you. Your humility, sheer enthusiasm and wonder are a fitting tribute to this extraordinary playing. I'm now a subscriber!

[@JoshWalshMusic]

So glad to have you here!

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

Hilarious man. Great video. Refreshing to hear someone like you with amazing chops doesn’t take himself so seriously.

[@paulgibby6932]

Loved the humorous humility of this one. The marshmellows -- haha. I'm not as nice as you and would have also focused on that smile of Jesus's that I maliciously mis-interpret as a smug one. Thanks for all the analysis too. Totally correct about Roni -- my mind spins listening to all those subtle shifts, yet so crisp. "That's it. I quit" Boom 🤣

[@frankiefingers-piano]

Josh, your videos are stunning for so many reasons! The production quality is top shelf. Your wit always brings a smile to my face when watching your videos and often makes me laugh out loud but at the same time is so spot on with analysis. I'll be honest, much of your knowledge goes over my head but I try to glean what I can! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Your videos are great too man! Thanks Frankie.

[@tylerpferrari]

This is the ultimate reaction video. Insightful and educational 👍

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Thanks Tyler!

[@martynramsden]

So entertaining Josh, sticky keyboard 😂 - loved it 👍😎🎹

[@leftyzappa]

This just makes me want to play dude. 😂

[@themichaelcycle]

Commented, liked, and subscribed! This video was like if my brain had a KZbin channel (also it somehow learned how to competently play piano).

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Glad to have you!

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

You gotta watch out for those sticky keys!! lol Great video!

[@rmac1042]

The guy is fine, but compared to Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau,, Herbie Hancock, he’s got a lot to learn!

[@andrenavarroII]

Just wow!

[@spdcrzy]

11/8, then 6/8, then 4/4. And back again.

[@macpaul]

Thumbs up for the marshmallows!

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Thanks Mac!

[@nicolojazzypolo]

Thank you so much for the analysis, loved it! For the wicked time signature section sounds like (3/8 | 5/16) or 11/16

[@JoshWalshMusic]

I think you may be right. I’m bad at math 🫣 Isn’t funny how we can feel the rhythm rather easily, but can’t count it? Brains are weird. But how you do that drum solo over it is beyond me…

[@jean_mollycutpurse_winchester]

Just found you. Subbed immediately.

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Honored! So glad to have you here.

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Just let your ear and feel do the work. You all can do it.

[@GrigPit]

You say that Eb7(+sharp 11 = A) and Dm6 have 2 common F and A notes. How can it be? Eb7 (the chord is Eb, G , Bb, Db) has no F. Or maybe I simply don't understand...

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Good question. When you add an extension to a 7th chord, like a sharp 11, it implies the other extensions beneath it as well. So Eb7#11 also includes the 9th, which is F. (Only for 7th chords! Anything else does not imply those notes.)

[@GrigPit]

Thanks Josh! I didn't know that the sharp 11 expresses indirectly (implies) the other extensions beneath it as well. That's why I love your channel - a real erudite musician (with such great sense of humor) explaining in simple terms relatively complex issues in music. @@JoshWalshMusic

[@JoshWalshMusic]

@@GrigPit thanks for the nice compliment. Means a lot man!

[@markybautista556]

Thank you so much for the Analysis I loved it, You need to do a Video on Art Tedum and Oscar Peterson, and tigran hamasyan, those three are some of Jesus Molin’s Influence..😊🎉

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Thanks Marky! I have a couple on Oscar back in the archives on the channel somewhere. From the olden times lol. Tigran is definitely on the list for the future. I live nearby where Tatum used to play, and have tried my hand at a few transcriptions over the years. Great suggestions

[@markybautista556]

@@JoshWalshMusic Wooow that is so cool, . That you live close to where the great Tedum played, another great Modern Jazz player is joel lyssarides.

[@TravelwithaWiseguy]

James Brown hahaha!

[@DojoOfCool]

I'm at the age where superchops playing is boring to me. Jesus Molina is an exemption because his lines are musically great as well as super chops. I love this YT with Jesus and Arturo Sandoval kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpvKZHmPZcacsNU

[@ernstlieber4340]

Oh sigh... these guys are technically brillant. At the same time this high tempo meaningless crazy grooves obviously impress people while being absolutely soulless. Just wild virtuosity of human robots. Things like that explain to understand the declining position of modern jazz.

[@JoshWalshMusic]

I think that about a lot of modern players… but not Jesus.

[@ernstlieber4340]

@@JoshWalshMusic Well, I dont know other of their productions. The one I can hear here, though, does not convince me. It is like contorsion - absolutely stunning that something like that is possible, but the emotional impact is... well. Of course that is just me and my preception.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

sigh...amazing time where we get exposed to so many child/young prodigies. humiliating and exciting. lol

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Humiliating? You mean humbling? 🤣. If so, yes, I agree!

[@coastalgeorgia6558]

newbhere . not a troll .im sure youre a great guy.. funny sure. not a fan of all the cut scenes and camera angles myself... but the core video idea is great. High production im sure you spent alot of time on it. Personally i couldnt watch regularly...

[@JoshWalshMusic]

I think I’m a pretty great guy. Funny? My wife probably would disagree. There are lots of styles of videos, if this isn’t your cup of tea you won’t offend me in the least if you need to watch someone else. That’s what I would do if I didn’t like someone’s style. Cheers.

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

@@JoshWalshMusic man I loved it bro. You never know when someone is insanely drunk or just having the worse day of their life to prompt them to leave a comment like this.

[@JoshWalshMusic]

@@BeatsAndGuitars thank you!

[@slapmyfunkybass]

Problem with a lot of these pianists it’s just a lot of notes for the sake of it. Having meaning to the solo requires a lot more work. These kind of fast paced note crazy solos just have no meaning to them, it goes nowhere, easily forgotten. That’s why the likes of Bill Evans could say so much more with less.
