Guiliana is the only drummer I know who can explode in endless cascades while leaving each single note intact and any groove unharmed. What control & creativity....very inspiring, never boring...

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

a human drum machine :) the accuracy is insane!

[@murkymurk8305]

You have a way with words... Great description of MG.

7/4 is the new 4/4

[@NeonGru]

😁❤️

[@marcellocaminhafilho]

Yes.

[@rahularun1834]

Mark's entry at 0:35 was pure art.

[@vivekteega]

Man, absolutely! Like a transformer kind of machine just warming up

[@mrbobcr]

I love that fact that in 6:47 they both basically switch from acoustic to electronic and viceversa. Pure genius.

[@HarmonixHealing]

Exactly.........I'm speechless

[@mengtianzhou1221]

I think he switched from electronic to a decay piano which is acoustic...the opposite

[@loonaya]

@@mengtianzhou1221 how do you mean? he said it. Guiliana went from real drum set to electronic drum pad, and Mehldau went from keyboards to piano.

[@biggestfanofroger]

that fucking bassline!

[@hddrummer8838]

the live version is sooooooo much better than the actual recordings….. just saying

[@UltraRareCustom]

T Bates hell yeah! Hungry Ghosts is awesome in its own way record wise, but Live is definitely otherworldly. Nige, is lacking on the record, where as Live, it obviously fucking kills.

[@BommyTates]

Live, live, (live), now we're gonna have to start differentiating between hearing the live recording or seeing them perform live haha, speaking of which, I'm gonna see if they've got any shows lined up...

[@bartni]

isn't it always like that with jazz-related music?

[@commonsense239]

That's like comparing apples and oranges. Both are great.

[@vpsaxman]

Usually is the case with jazz.

[@mjsz409]

cannot stop coming back to this

[@qil5252]

brad is the man who can clearly show people the deepest and most beautiful thing inside his subconsciousness through music.

[@TheJohnroney]

geeezzuss... what to do when you have mastered harmony, rhythmic and melodic development, and when you can control 3 independant parts at once, and do it all live, in front of a packed house? brad, keep doing it ! amazing. so inspiring.

[@saphiregin]

You would think... more people out there would be deeply touched by these tunes. One would think? Love it...

[@josephpaul8874]

this is what happens when one keyboard and one drum kit isn't enough for your incredible minds composition, and they are not toying with them, they are cementing their mastery for the next generation to strive towards... it's almost as if they are not here spiritually, but merely physically; what a performance!

[@letstalkoffthepodium590]

Mehldau is just amazing at switching in and out of all the different sub-genres.

[@mamiche9925]

Pure Genius...

[@shalominthehome92]

That bassline at 3:52 is so goddamn fire. I cannot stop coming back to this video.

[@peskypesky]

best new music I've heard in years.

[@martincardozo2205]

***** same here. incredible man

[@zacharygh]

The piano solo at the end gives me life.

[@colmeleon]

Especially from 8:00 on it is simply sublime. Evokes Jarrett's legendary Koln concert from 1972 but with a surreal techno edge.

[@christheghostwriter]

from the first second on it's sublime

[@UkuleleAversion]

Brad has said that he likes Jarrett but doesn't consider him an influence as much as a source of inspiration for what he can do technically on the piano. Also, Brad tends to arrange some of these solo piano adventures to some extent. If you want to hear what I mean, check out his various recordings of Countdown (some bootleg on KZbin) and listen to the opening cadenza he does.

[@psyclonoughts316]

and the counterpoint at four minutes is superb

[@ansonstiles]

The keyboard master race draws another sick bass line out of the ether

[@botbeats1]

WOW.... the keyboardist~LEFT and RIGHT~ hands play so BEAUTIFULLY together. And on top of all that He's playing three keyboards at once. Also the way the Drummer has control of the pulse with his flawless timing is amazing.

[@psyclonoughts316]

still a gret display of power playing by a duo

[@matthewwinne]

I was like, "I wonder who played drums on the new David Bowie album?" Then I discovered it was Mark Guiliana and I was like, "Well of course it is. Who else could it be but the sickest drummer out there?"

[@JeffreyMulac8]

+Matthew Winne He is amazing. On his way to the status of Chris Dave.

[@maxsergeant9934]

+JeffreyMulac8 already past it.

[@mela28xcom]

+Matthew Winne Do you have the title of the album?

[@matthewwinne]

+Milad Khosseini Taming the Dragon

[@mela28xcom]

***** yes, I have it at home. I meant David Bowie album. Which one do you mean ?

[@jonathanhill6109]

Here we go...spirited romp, indeed! Thank you for the post!

[@shalominthehome92]

It's like Brad's left hand has its own mind.

[@theconstruKctionoflight]

@Eric Moilanen wow, I can’t believe it’s not butter!

[@jaycielle]

His left hand is Brad, his right is Mehldau Such a shame Brad got left out of the name but that's marketing for ya

[@murkymurk8305]

Au contraire...they move in unison.

[@MarconiJazz]

Exactly! Wow amazing

[@ogdTo]

Looks like the left hand have his own Brad.

[@PilferMusic]

I cannot stop listening to this release! I've had this on my iPod (lossless) now and listen to it almost every day for the last few months.... brilliant work gents

[@pablotrobo]

i ride my bike with this album on and it does not get boring. Just slides right in.

[@PilferMusic]

Pablo Trobo exactly!

[@nram3930]

Everybody talking about brad's left arm, but hot damn marks left foot is getting some work in. That's six minutes of non stop 8th notes, I would be sore as hell after that.

[@Zippow76]

l'impression de ne jamais écouter le même titre a chaque fois

[@collinoliver5713]

Mehldau fan for life 😭🙌🏿

[@julienfayolle.rennes]

7:10 "Radiohead" feeling, so much I can hear Tom Yorke, Bjork & Nick Drake crying all together for all the suffering humanity...

[@Paincakess]

This music is just amazing! two awe-inspiring musicians making some of the most creative and brilliant music together, why is this not on the radio?

[@orilevi1123]

[@Mrmisterdonut]

I've been listening to this track for a while and I could never figure out how mark got so many sounds out of the kit but after watching the video I realize now that he's play eighth notes with his foot on the hi-hat and basically soloing over the kit the whole song...

[@91camilon]

+Mrmisterdonut You are right! but he isn't soloing, he is blending exquisitely with the rhythmic landscape that the bass line creates.

Wow! Down right beautiful!
