[@ellismanz7180]

I like the fact this Emmet still wear his pyjama's pant while playing

[@MrBongoagogo]

James bond is back on drums licensed to swing. 😎

[@Meira_A]

Joe Farnsworth: I’d be your Bond girl in a heartbeat 💋…🎼🥁... (or a drumbeat)

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

OooooomMmmmmmmGOODNESS!!! Russell!

[@greyhorse1211]

Eric evokes the sound of Tubby Hayes a bit here…on the first number..

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Superb drumming… love his attire… I’m 72… former gig musician… adore, admire, respect… thank you ♥️🖖🏽🥂🤗

[@blackie8083]

That bass player, Damn!

[@buckwheatjazz]

Whoo! A little Monty in there. 35:45

[@michaelabbo2779]

honestly the trio tunes to open the sets are slept on, especially this take of something in common. So killing

[@dereklap1159]

I would’ve paid any amount of money to see this live

[@EmmetCohen]

Sponsor seats are available :)

[@dereklap1159]

@@EmmetCohen oh really?? I was thinking it was just your neighbors hanging all this time LOL. Is there any info anywhere about sponsoring for these seats or is it on a more ad-hoc basis?

[@santomusic3981]

This is the place to hear real JAZZ!

[@jimbrown1559]

Cedar Walton was one of the great composers of his generation, as were Tad and Stevie of theirs -- it's a joy to hear great players explore them.

[@mgmmgm1599]

It is fantastic and I love you all. From Hungary.

[@phillcollinsjazzpiano]

But for the record, this has been such an enjoyable gig for us, we watch it every weekend, amazing musicians and fair play for what you're doing it's unreal! Thanks.

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

Joe really grooves the medium swing tempo. I pick many teachers and he is my go to for this feel. I copy the bastard.

[@SaxPracticemanJazz]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

[@jedparadies8467]

Great version of You Are The Sunshine . Eric killed playing alternate changes halfway through the solo w Emmett following perfectly!

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Beautiful! A privilege… best wishes, health, joy and wellbeing… 🖖🏾

[@roberthelms1737]

The solo on Nemesis is Bold

[@garryfimister6878]

Alexander the Great !!!

[@genevadaddy]

Watching Russell Hall play on Nemesis is a true joy!

[@SuperflyFunkyBunny]

Great music as always .You need to fire your IT department Cut outs and standard def.

[@Azman.]

You'all, what a great jammed sessions during this pandemic time. Fabulous muzik selections specially when Eric blow on alto! What a surprised! Never heard b4! Up to date Eric & Vincent are among my top jazz maestro on this jazz planet! Got most all your recording collection on my library. It's my generation (old skool) when I'm listening both your recording. Btw Eric, when will you again recorded with your old pal Robert Mazurek?! My fav Robert! Joe you are fabulous great drummer (got some your recording). Love it with Eric together with the late maestro Harold Mabern (my legendary maestro). Emmet & Russell both of you are great musician! Love to see you both on gigs! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.

[@jedparadies8467]

Fabulous set!! Eric and Vince are burning right from the first tune. Great playing from Emmet, Russell, and Joe!!

[@kittykittygumdrops]

Amazing!

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Wow! Fantastic opening!!!

[@julierodriguez549]

Just found out that y'all are going to be in Denver in September! Soooooo excited!!!!!

[@user-jt2of8no4i]

С огромным удовольствием послушал . Но этот концерт могут слушать хорошо подготовленные Jazzman Два шикарных musichn Tenor-sax( Dexter Gordon, Hank Moobli, John Coltrain) Аlto -sax( Adderly, Ch.Parker) Долго ждал Ballad Прекрасная тема и когда Eric пошёл Я думал за Soprano -Sax т.к. на alto -sax он играет теноровыми фразами. Но прекрасно!!!!!!!!!!

[@mennoploeg1462]

Wow, what a performance! I missed you guys. One month is too long!

[@cleumagoulart5914]

[@tonomora6837]

Excelente Eric Alexander y Vincent Herring

[@jazzman_10]

💥💥🙆

[@Orlando-wn4uc]

Emmet! You guys are on fire... Best Monday ever!

[@tonomora6837]

A mi me gusta como toca la batería Joe!

[@fspike2469]

Frank Sinatra on the drums? He's cool.

[@ZodiakGFXNovato]

Please could you perform "Happy Feet by Rhythym Boys & Paul Whiteman`s Band" ?? I really love that song

[@francois9144]

Did Eric play a "bettersax" alto saxophone ?

[@martinlehfeldt5514]

Bring back smooth jazz piano classics emmet. So great. Love this sound, and than you add Eric Alexander. Man , that's a killer.

[@diegocanadagutierrez580]

1:10:49 🔥🔥

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

Best playing I’ve heard from this bassist yet. 😃 And right from the top, too - the first tune. Russell Hall is his name, I’ve gathered from the description. Considered putting at least everyone’s first name in the title?

[@SrEquixs]

Jazz muy al estilo Post-Bop y Modal

[@diegocanadagutierrez580]

1:09:59

[@haunting2785]

GSU students wya

[@rogerjerabek9574]

Looks like one of the bass drum spurs is broken or missing the bottom part of the leg.

[@reisserjean-michelakabeeth8551]

Fantastic set but nothing after 1'13'00 ....

[@JoeSmith-gm6vp]

when you getting chad lb on that would be amazing

[@beaurinbastien]

If i buy future stride album, could I get a purple hat like Russel's for free 😀😀?

[@pallhe]

Dapper dressers and killer players.

[@phillcollinsjazzpiano]

the bass is too high in the mix. imo

[@wny1162]

Generally really like Eric's playing, but when he picked up the alto in "Embraceable You" he was killing the tempo. Wasn't too crazy about that turn off events. Also not too sure why he felt compelled to switch to alto mid- tune. Otherwise great playing.

[@wny1162]

Ya I understand that but if you go back and look at the other guys they seemed to me to be working pretty hard to stay on the beat. Just my minor opinion. Obviously another great post from Emmet and his gang etc.
