[@DilanRG]

Rare video of men discovering fire.

[@loosey_lucy]

This comment is super classic. Well done.

[@asgardiangod23]

This should be pinned lol

[@ericwilcoxen2805]

YYYYYYAAAAASSSSS

[@alphachimera1723]

Stopped me in my tracks laughing!

[@apparentbadvibesponge]

LOVE

[@BruinsFansUnite]

They can play! And their drummer saved me 15 percent on car insurance in just 15 minutes!

[@marcsullivan7987]

@David Floren “COULD save you up to 15% or more” That’s technically true.

[@paulgelbman9314]

He looks like a guy who sells insurance , is that what you meant ?

[@Lasalas777]

​@davidfloren5339Gracias por explicar el dicho. Soy Chileno y " estaba colgado de la ampolleta"🤣

[@TRUEiMPROrecords]

Keeping the funk affordable.

[@matthewsommerfield7681]

That guitar player always be lookin like everyone in every room owes him money

[@88omair]

They probably do XD

[@brodiwheeler7583]

When you play as funky as him, that mean mug just gets stuck on your face! You know like when your momma told you not to make those faces or it might stick like that... his finally did. 🤨

Smartass ipse dixit

[@semyonbychkov9513]

Spot on! :D:D:D

[@marcocelis2104]

This two dudes are killing it with Delvon Lamar Trio and now with the True Loves . Their music is authentic , honest and with a hell of a swing . What else can you ask for ?

[@paleggett1897]

Absolutely! Saw DLT a few weeks ago. Next level‼️‼️‼️

[@SheaShowRealtalk]

So, was this before or after the trio, for him and the drummer

[@organfreak]

Some ORGAN!

[@88omair]

Bassist is super underrated. Such effortlessly groovy basslines, and I love his tone. Nearly the perfect bass ton

[@jonhattanrai]

Almost as if he was some sort of bassist Einstein

[@bigcity2085]

Its Bob from accounting on drums !...again. You're awesome dude. Don't ever change.

[@patrickincharlestonsc4935]

BIG CITY he sold me homeowners insurance last week!

[@brownkemosabe]

David McGraw. Wonderful chap. Met him and Jimmy (my dear soul brother) when the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio came by Des Moines.

[@88omair]

@@patrickincharlestonsc4935 Better than Geico!

[@brodiwheeler7583]

He knows a thing or two, cuz he’s seen a thing or two.

[@bigcity2085]

You should see these guys playing a jazzfest in Virginia in the pouring rain. Freakin awesome.

[@UmidHasanov]

I find it sad that nobody mentioned how good the bass is. Goddamn, its groovy

[@88omair]

Funnily enough I just made that comment heh. Dude is effortlessly groovy and badass

[@scottbaxendale323]

You did, so there you go.

[@andrewcates3390]

It's because most people are listening with speakers that have little bass - computer, phone, etc. It's a shame, because he's great.

[@maxpeck4154]

It's July 2023 and while I knew of Jimmy James years ago I'm just discovering these guys (and the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio). Fantastic stuff

[@09prichards]

I love how he says, about people not dancing sometimes, "Maybe they're just listening, and that's just as groovy." Indeed.

[@jazzfunkhead6866]

I am one of the listeners!!! And grooving!!!

[@pighater951]

It's not dancing music

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Hard to dance when you’re stupefied by how amazing the playing is!

[@musicaldogs6866]

Dancing is so boring tho. Listening is the best

[@nataliekramer5187]

@@musicaldogs6866 what if one feels so moved by listening that they feel compelled to express ones joy through dance?

[@wesleyboynton6535]

God, David McGraw is such a solid drummer. Dude's got a deeper pocket than Elon Musk.

[@gustafsone]

I've been told that you can't hold no groove if you ain't got no pocket.

[@carlosarispe1602]

the dudes from Delvon lamarr organ trio doin it again

[@HernanSHerrero]

awesome

[@artboy2]

so good!

[@memeu]

changing band name again :F

[@yourrealdad9442]

MLe MLe Nah, they're 2 different bands. Guitarist and drummer just so happen to be in both groups, but Delvon Lamarr isn't in this one.

[@jt_papertrail]

@@yourrealdad9442 he plays on a few The True Loves' songs on the album, hard to miss the organ coming in, and he's credited on the back of the album too

[@benjaminvelleman]

I really can't count how many times I've wanted to like a KEXP video twice

[@benjaminstokes3936]

Honestly, this is the first time I've tried it. Shit don't work. Fuck.

[@Mesingel]

@@benjaminstokes3936 it's an odd system. 😃

[@ryanastoner]

Their drummer maintains this satisfied look on his face in every performance haha.

[@Punkstah]

True loves bassist is about to create the theory of relativity while playing a sick bassline

[@JoelWest]

As always, massive props to the sound engineers. They run this show!

[@JuanPablo-nl3hi]

Joel that’s what happens when u are worth hearing huh? Good sound guys are heroes

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

They can make or break you. If they don't like you or they support one band over another your sound might be a little bit off or a lot off.If they like you this is the result

[@getredytagetredy]

Joel ...read my mind...

[@Wally-H]

These guys are seriously baddass. It's like being teleported back to 1971. Please come to London and play the Jazz Cafe or something - I'll be there

[@joshstein4708]

Jimmy James is just so cool. Just radiates coolness. This whole band is something out of another time and just jams their own style and it’s awesome. Love these guys.

[@HenryHolsters]

That trombone part at 6:35 is FILTHY. Love it!

[@hakimdyercreative]

Nothing sampled here. Real music, real heart.

[@rekocastren923]

That background groove for the sax @ 8:00 is feels :)

[@scott952]

"sometimes people just want to listen instead of move which is just as groovy as anything" came for the music; stayed for the vibes

[@ItsMe_IBeFree]

[@leojohnson6289]

LET'S NOT FORGET RADIO, IT KEEPS GOOD MUSIC ALIVE.

[@MrDw44]

It's nice to see Mr. Caputo playing bass again.

[@ratjar7025]

whoever mixed this should get a raise

[@nickb.237]

So that's where Giovanni Ribisi has been, playing bass for the True Loves...drummer constantly has the face of someone that just sent a funny ass text and watching the person across the room waiting for them to open it up and read it...

[@benjaminstokes3936]

Nice man, totally true

[@alexsmith7313]

That same drummer pulls the exact same face in his performance in the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Except, with fewer people to look around at, he uses an awkward amount of eye contact that just makes him look like a serial killer stalking a woman.

[@mokdis00]

lol. too funny. On the topic of eyes, my wife says they all look at each other like they are in love. Truly.

[@caddoman2794]

The True Loves make "walk in" music. The music you want to play when you walk into the any room. The Office, the church sanctuary, the grocery store. All in slow motion.

[@damienbaranowski5802]

This Universe has a sound track, and they are apart of that.

[@mitarz]

Greetings from Serbia!

[@bartomiejkaralus2900]

[@adammacmillan]

Found this video randomly. They are so good

[@Isra1289]

Thanks KEXP for your existence!! Always keeping that good taste in music!!!

[@gustafsone]

Man, the sound engineers at KEXP are so on point. These mixes sound freaking incredible on every band they have in the studio. I think the only thing comparable is the Tiny Desk series. I love this!

[@annetter2731]

True!!! I've been introduced to many bands from KEXP. The Do, Aroara..... The list is endless

[@diegomaag]

You rarely get to see a sound engineer give this much love to the congas.

Thanks mate - I'll do just that 😀

And such a tight rhythm player! Unfortunately playing good rhythm guitar is often underrated...

[@philippegrey385]

Coolest drummer ever lived.

[@andersondejesus3714]

My legs are moving by themself I lost control, cannot stop moving. Soooooo cool! Thanks again KEXP.

[@BadNews501]

Bassist is legend. Smooth as silk strings. Got them reeds and horns just right. Percussion perfect because you damned near don't even hear it's so good. Bone is boniny. Trumpets always too gatdayum loud, but glad they are present. What more could you ask for?

[@jdh1969]

Wow. I've never heard of this group until now, but I like it. Thanks KZbin recommendations!

[@guillaumebackelandt7381]

Stumbled upon this music recently thanks to youtube "suggested", how does this not have millions of views and likes? I don't even like jazz but when I heard those guys I couldn't not like it, everything is perfect, those guys had to met and play together at some pooint and it's awesome that it happened, could almost make you believe in fate and stuff :) Even the radio guy kinda looks and sounds likes he could shit on simple average people all day long and has only great words to say to them.

[@soupedenuit]

Soul jazz is more on the funky side and less so on the jazzy side, this is probably why you got hooked. It's almost impossible not to enjoy this.
