[@jazz4asahel]

I think I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing it out. What a terrific job on bass! Everyone here is simply on top of it. If I had been in there listening, I'd have flipped.

Man this band is smoking. And the drummer sounds just great👌

[@jazz4asahel]

10:00 Willie Jones III perfectly timed and executed snare roll. And he's a big listener. Everything he does is humble, right on, and supportive.

[@tywoodruff2218]

Agreed!

YAMAHA SG !! Great !

[@kultan2000]

Drummer sounds like he studied Alan Dawson. Pocket. Maintained tempo. Imaginative solo with a command of his instrument. Well done.

[@cooldude2847]

That's because he's Willie Jones III one of the baddest drummers alive

[@simhendra2377]

[@vincentparrella272]

Sweet as molasses.

[@mrader217]

sweet tone by Kurt. Like a synth....high end totally gone

[@bluezach244]

Yes! I was going to ask about that. Seems like he's using a light synth effect, I don't see how he's getting that sound on the high notes otherwise.. And I wonder if he's got a way of having the synth effect kick in either solely, or mainly on the highs. Really like the effect, however he's getting it.

[@IOIOIOI505]

[@jetxmael]

yamaha sg !

[@DabsDad]

Looks like a Yamaha Revstar

[@jetxmael]

@@DabsDad Yes, it is very similar, but revstar has the new yamaha logo, is thinner, have less knobs and most of the time pickup cover.

[@DabsDad]

@@jetxmael is it an SG-1000 or 2000?

[@jetxmael]

@@DabsDad I don't know, one thing that put me off is the pickup selector near the button, and the absence of text on the neck. I really can't find a model with the pickup selector in this position. I own a SG 1500 - shopped for a 1000 - 2000 - 3000 - Takanaka model, but none of them have the pickup selector under the strings near the knobs.

[@jetxmael]

@@DabsDad Seems like a SG 400 or 510, I found one with the pickup selector at the same position, and the guitar has the same color as the one in the video.

[@cab88888]

What's that horn? It looks like a Super Balanced Action, but the pinky keys are mark VI looking... Mark VI with SBA neck? Or transitional SBA (right before MK VI)? (If so, quite a rare and beautiful thing!)

[@ChrisJazzCafePhilly]

Good question, we can ask Eric next time we see him.

[@jrgreiner]

I'd guess an un-lacquered Super Action 80 (no idea what series). The bell to body brace is the giveaway. Probably an aftermarket neck with the BA/SBA style octave key. Again, only a guess. ;-)

[@cab88888]

@@jrgreiner Thanks for your comment, but I just don't think so. I'm not sure what you mean by "bell to body brace", but I wonder where is the giveaway. If you mean the circle that holds the bell to the body, they are all the same between BA, MkVI, or SA. And if you mean the connection between bow and bell (which could be a givaway if soldered or with screws but only to tell if it is BA or SBA), we cannot even see it in the video. The left low Bb could look like a SA key, but it could also look like a Mk VI key. The right low C and Eb are small, like Mk VI or Balanced, and not like SA at all. And there is no F# key (which SA have). Also the plate cover behind the bell has no holes (like a BA or SBA). Finally, the neck is EXACTLY the same color as the body. so since everything points towards a late transitional SBA, my guess would be just that. These are quite rare and exceptional horns...

[@cab88888]

@@ChrisJazzCafePhilly If you remember to ask, and if he remembers which horn he used back then! I guess a short email would be more successful! :)

[@jrgreiner]

@@cab88888 Bell to body brace is indeed the circular piece that attaches the body to the bell between the right and left hand stack(s). That circular piece is very much different on SA 80's than BA's, SBA's or VI's. It has (on the SA80) two screws that attach to the body whereas on the other horns it only has ONE screw on the body. I've *never* seen a SA80 with a bell to body brace like a BA/SBA/VI. Regarding lacquer all I can say is raw brass (unlacquered) eventually all looks the same, especially when it's on the same horn and played by the same player over time. Again, these are just my observations as someone who has owned his fair share of Selmer Super's (pre-BA), SBA and VI's and 40+ yrs of playing the instrument. We'd probably both be better off trying to contact Eric and finding out than guessing.

Nice nod to Blakey with the press roll…

Because it brings joy, even if it’s just one note on key 😁🙏

Wear a beret...your playing will improve immediately. Then grow a little soul-patch beard : people will listen in awe.

[@stevenfimmel6933]

You play because you enjoy the experience, and not comparing yourself to others?

[@OneSliceNation]

lol

[@colbydobbs6399]

Kurt looks a lot like Drew Zingg.

[@stevegraverson1218]

He should have released this instead of piano album and upcoming Chopin album.

[@maxbrinster]

God forbid kurts pog 2 ever broke then he'd have to play guitar again.

[@babalaughing]

There can be no doubt of Kurt's solo prowess. With that said, his seeming unwillingness to give us any of his unadulterated guitar tone is off-putting, for me at least. The POG or Slow Gear messes with the envelope of the note in such a fundamental way-- it obscures rather than revealing. Even though it's clean, the very unnatural attack makes his tone entirely electronic.

[@arincon59]

that guitar is DISGUSTING...

[@pascaljeanne6520]

man i'm a guitar player too , i play " jazzy" but your playin (for me) is so boring ...pfou lol ! ok im a mike stern fan because hes a great composer , or benson because a great guitarist and singer , but you .0..a lot of players actually are so boring sorry ! man ive try to hear or listen to you and many others ...i cant ! you re good but i can't ! thats just my opinion lol !
