Emmet Cohen, piano & TJ Reddick, drums *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *“Let the swing rain down upon thee..”* *“They can hate but we still swingin..”* And my personal favorite - *“Everyone gangsta till the swing tilt dirty.”* 🔥🔥🔥 And this is one of the many reasons why we adore the *chemistry & charisma of Sebastian Rios, Abdias Armenteros, and TJ Reddick* - the members of the *New Jazz Underground.* These cats are making masterful music & supplying us with mantras, while they’re at it. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ However, don’t be mistaken: *Their sound surpasses what the word ‘jazz’ could ever capture.* 🔊🌍♾ The trio’s depth exposes the limitations of the four letter word, that’s used to describe the Black American music tradition. Their art is committed to preserving a legacy without loopholes. There are no shortcuts. . . But simply showing up. 🙏🏽♥ The goal ? - Make it *New.* And do it *Underground.* *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ They aren’t here to reinvent the wheel. Yet, they’re swinging their axles off -*driving deeper into the roots of this tradition.* 🔥⚙ *Our excitement grows as we hear the layers of musical influences within their imaginative & effortless swing…* 🎯 We get a dose of their ‘Juilliard juice’ ….and we feel a connection to a culture & ethic that fueled the early masters, beyond conservatory walls. 🎼❤ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Being *‘underground’* is not simply a departure from the mainstream. It is where the most labor intensive efforts to create one’s art, takes place. *It is the work that nobody sees, that bears the fruit everyone wants to hear.* 🎶🚧🌍 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Yes. There’s something special about these guys that brings to mind an established universal law: *Good cats, attract good cats.* ✨🪐 The New Jazz Underground consistently *invites excellence into their sphere,* where each member humbly holds the privilege of working with luminaries of this tradition. 🙏🏽🔥🎹 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This session in Emmet’s living room represents a *collaboration of cats who transformed a digital space, when artistry was threatened & inspiration was running dry.* ⛲🎭 They stretched our panorama during the pandemic - helping to prove what was possible. This same objective was shared by *Open Studio as a down-to-earth, online community* - enabling folks to learn with the legends, while bridging a gap between skill, location, & resources. (they hope to achieve the same with EC’s new piano course & we thank them for making this evening possible 🙏🏼🎹🎵♥) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *Establishing heartfelt accessibility is meaningful in this age…* where there’s balance between information & inspiration. ❤ *These cats bring out the best in each other through their musicianship & original compositions.* Moreover, they’re mentoring young artists in discovering the realities of media production & the creation of their musical visions. 📹💻🎼🔥 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Family, this is what the masters dedicated their lives to…transcending barriers & demographics. We occupy this moment because of their resilience. - *May each one of us expand our roots as they water us from above.* *“Let the swing rain down upon thee.”* 🙌🏽☔🎶🌎 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Listening now and just BANG on and rippin' it up.Surely the forefathers before you are smiling from Jazz Heaven right now.

[@ABJG1]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE, MUCH RESPECT & LOVE FROM COLOMBIA!

[@ctheo2020]

Flawless!!!!

[@jamalalqassem5079]

Come to Portland, OR! Dont play the old church, the acoustics are terrible at that venue

[@Fawe21]

It's performances like this from the younger generation that reaffirms Jazz is in good hands and the baton is being passed.

Looking forward to joining you on the bandstand soon, young man.

[@cholst1]

Man I just finished a rewatch of Treme, and all I can say is: "Ron, I'm hearing you!" :D

[@William_35]

seeing a colab between the first two channels where I really discovered jazz as a high school student is something else man

New jazz underground at emmets place sponsored by open studio. What a triple threat of jazz media legends!

[@taijazvidfish]

Jazz isn’t going away anytime soon!

[@m.7271]

What a bass player! Omg. Sebastian Rios what a find! He’s going to be one of the greats. I have a feeling him and Emmet will be playing a lot more together. Drummer is awesome also, such sensitive touch, not playing too loudly, so perfectly balancing the band dynamics. Emmet as always is amazing. But honestly Sebastian Rios is one of the best bassists I’ve ever heard. Great job guys 👏

[@eddyg2745]

Finally a drummer who doesn't use a matched grip...

[@kirkg811]

It really warms my heart to see these YOUNG LIONS doing it like it should be done!

[@ik6993]

AMAZING YOUNG BLOODS. REAL MUSIC REAL JAZZ. PEACE LOVE COMPASSION KINDNESS EMPATHY EQUALITY UNITY HARMONY.

[@dpw181]

This is cool and these guys are great. Real music and real musicianship. I'm 66 and find this music grounding and stimulating and relaxing. I'm from the SF Bay Area and saw a lot of concerts of every type of music on all levels during the 70's and 80's. Lots of TV On The Radio hybrids, all thoughtful. I saw Brubeck and BB King on the same bill in the late 80's and Stevie Wonder, Madonna and Prince twice. I saw Prince twice the same night; an 8pm arena show in Oakland then a 2am intimate show at SF's Warfield Theater. Rosie Gaines graduated my year from my high school and fronted Prince's New Power Generation band before gaining her own following as a solo artist. Curt Ohlson graduated a year ahead of me and played bass for Ray Charles before going solo. Stevie Wonder shocked us by performing at my high school for Black History Month in 1973 at the height of his "Taking Book" album. The son of Arif Mardin lived in my NYC building. I have lived a life immersed in and adjacent to music without being a musician myself. It's life-affirming to know young people are still playing and composing jazz music. It took until my retirement to find the time to actually enjoy my massive jazz music collection and now I can watch jazz performances of those guys from every decade on KZbin, which is a dream. Focusing on jazz and just having it on as background are different experiences. KZbin is becoming my main streaming platform because of videos like this. So much viscerally satisfying stuff. Like this post.

[@realemolga6306]

Well said

[@Supermarket-Music]

Thank you algorithm

[@jammartinez4208]

This is what I am talking about...a kick ass jazz session with the new generation taking the forefront of an amazing music genre. Just amazing.....kudos from San Francisco Bay Area!!!! I have my port and cigar just jivin to this jam session

[@wschrad]

Old school Don Byas/ Eddie Lockjaw sound…embracing the lower register of the saxophone Finally someone who doesn’t need to sound like Brecker…

[@Nn-uh2kb]

Finally? Like this guy's the first good player to not sound like Brecker??

[@wschrad]

Not what I said..I’m talking about his sound.. he has a nice old school sound embracing the lower register of the tenor sax like Coleman, lockjaw, byas…

[@jdshutman]

A gift, Emmet and NJU as was Michael Brecker.

[@redpakiu]

That tenor sax made me want to dust off and pick up my own! Even if I barely can play anything now. So good !

[@ohsewreal]
