Les Claypool's Bastard Jazz 2019.01

[@gypsysprinkle7]

Mike Dillon is probably the most talented musician that walks this earth. That night, and that show were absolute fire. It was billed for 2 AM and the line went for blocks and blocks and they didn’t open the doors until three and I think it was getting light when we left that morning.nothing like jazz vest to bring out the best of the best

[@michaelhawkins4920]

That was the best! I saw The Cult down the street the night before, walked over to be maybe 6th in line. Magical evening.

[@jeffspaulding9834]

Claypool: Oh, they've invited me to do some jazz thing. I should brush up on my jazz. Claypool: Claypool: OK, I can do this.

ANYTHING Les Claypool does is phenomenal, second to none!!!!!

[@vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758]

Wish there was a performance released as an album, this is amazing

Or catch them on tour. Tix on sale now

[@GregGolightly]

while not this exactly, the fancy band era is more or less this. Check out his solo whales and woe

[@GregGolightly]

@@tygepolston2582 they are not turning as this. Primus is on tour with their now 3 year long FTK tour. This was a one off. This was the band that was more or less the Fancy band in early mid 2000's (just missing Gabby). This was my favorite period of Les. Saw them 7 times

[@ofoghladha2110]

moments of blinding brilliance

[@JT-bp1yb]

I like that les made his $ with primus and then just did what he wants. Fearless frog brigade/Lennon claypool delirium and everything in between. Dudes the best. Prob the greatest as of now as a bass player. Like everything he does.

[@gregleet5544]

Love every genre/style of music Les plays. The only comparable artist I can think of is Frank Zappa!

[@ericchase1799]

And now Vinnie Colaiuta is playing drums with this band at the Napa shows! Even MORE Zappa-esq!

[@lauriecalkins781]

Totally happy Zappa vibes…. I feel like I’m in high school again.❤

[@JT-bp1yb]

Agree. He is our and then some generation of zappa. And zappa was even weirder 😂but les is the shit no matter what he does

[@gmyersgilmer9470]

King Crimson, Rush, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Talking Heads, Ween

[@jamesleavelle]

Too cool...also super fun to jam to....shredding it! 🤘🤘🤘

[@andrewbowers6278]

Les AND Stanton Moore??? That's a groove-monster!

[@freeian2]

Recall them playing together at the first Bonnaroo-early morning jamming.

[@johnbull333]

Great bass player, song, increíble. Love his art as a musitian, sólo, etcétera. 30 year of best player. My best group in american . Just a great artist.

[@tomgranados3002]

Try Headhunters or Medeski, Martin and Wood

[@romeoslover817]

Thanks for posting this.

[@scottportner4587]

I'm gonna go see them at the Guild in Menlo Park in July.

[@Thedr-oj8ck]

Very of Wales and woe and I dig it

[@TheCiaMKultra]

😮😊😮 So tight ! Was hoping to catch these cats play in SF for New years but couldnt make it. So bummed , hope they reform after Claypool tours with Primus ! Primus socks ! I need a pair or two or three.............

[@zdenekgubb]

Did I catch a little Fantastic Voyage into Tommy the Cat around 15ish minutes?! So cool

[@jacobwaits3559]

Les Claypool and the Mothers of ReInvention. 👌 Actually, write that down!

POWAH

[@chucku00]

This is strangely reminding me of Tack>>Head. Pretty sure the drummer knows who Keith LeBlanc is. A Les Claypool/Doug Wimbish jam would blow this universe in a million new dimensions.

[@thepyroking1236]

who are the others? Pretty sure the one guy is Mike Dillon, is that Skerik on the sax? It kind of looks like him but I can't tell.

[@brianh7470]

Yup

[@williamkillingsworth2619]

@@brianh7470 He is an incredible percussionist. Awesome.

[@gypsysprinkle7]

It’s not a xylophone, it’s a vibraphone. And he doesn’t play it, he slaughters it. Mike D is God‘s gift to percussion.

[@Mike-rw2nh]

My wish list: Les Claypool, Guthrie Govan & Jojo Mayer produced by Jacob Collier.

[@oozzyknob]

Hell nah. All those dudes have way different styles.

[@mglaser6811]

I would totally agree...absolute Traum Konstellation 😇👍👍👍

[@Musistics]

Is that a Jazz bass? 🧐

[@hanstimmermans2572]

nee a Funk bassen

[@theburnix]

Its a pachyderm bass (Les' own brand)

[@romeoslover817]

It is when Les plays jazz

[@OTR392]

A funk jam band, not jazz.

[@gypsysprinkle7]

It’s called Bastard Jazz, not jazzy jazz. Mike D and Stanton both have jazz backgrounds. There are obviously fun overtones but regardless of genres this is excellent music.

[@NelsonMontana1234]

It all sounds like the same song. And it sure doesn't swing. I guess by "jazz" he's thinking more Soft Machine/Zappa/Grateful Dead/Brand X variety.

[@robertmassucci1]

I love this guy but this is just noodling

[@daveyanceyarts]

Poor mans Zappa. Zappa wannabes without good songs and musicianship.

[@charlesxcalibur]

The psyche ward seems to be missing a patient...

[@butler-macdonald8351]

If Zappa was around to hear you say that, he'd disown you as a fan 🙄

Oh shut up Dave

[@tylerwunder]

You seem like a sad person

Les has played with Dweezil's band and is a friend of the Zappa family
