Mark Lettieri - "Chicory" (Things of That Nature)

[@fivefingerfullprice3403]

I love the gentle approach and whimsical creativity to this jam.

[@nicoallgaier2478]

That bass dude is a beast!!!

[@lordscrewtape2897]

That's Wes Stephenson and he is indeed a beast... check out his group Funky Knuckles...

[@MrUltracoin]

Chicory is a flowering plant in the dandelion family that is characterized by a tough, hairy stem, light purple flowers and leaves that are commonly used in salads. Chicory coffee tastes similar to coffee but has a flavor that's often described as slightly woody and nutty. Nice song btw.

[@phlabass]

Chicory in salad!!!??? That, as an Italian is outrageous, to say the least! We cook it, duh!

[@rolandfaucon1560]

thanks trevor

[@VHdiggare]

My absolute favorit guitarist!

[@yowitriviani4467]

Mine too!

[@slowly7588]

Mine too

[@eliasdavismusic]

I love how dynamically and emotionally diverse this tune is... it's really fun and keeps you engaged the while way through. Thanks for sharing your awesome and inspired music!

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks very much! We aim to please :)

[@escoraro]

All the things...just in a song. wonderful✌🏽😎🎶

[@xFliox]

This is the music you listen when you want to chill

[@emirtalhayldzl16]

What a nice telecaster!

[@Steakfrie]

Steve Kerr is an amazing talent - basketball player, coach and awesome saxaphonist 😉. Great tune, Mark, with an incredible band to back you up.

[@amritzelnick]

looking for this comment!

[@xFliox]

Omg those slides came from heaven

[@sumoblues]

This is a profoundly crafted masterful tune with twist & turns but always resolves on point. Bravo! 👏🏽

[@ratamacueseven]

Masterpiece yet again from Mr. Lettieri !

[@luigicannizzo2669]

" Very Special Sounds and Great Musician Player ". .. So' Good ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍✌👌👏👋

[@R32Rocco]

Bob kills it. Love the groove, so tight and in the pocket. Oh, and nice playing, Mark. (of course.)

[@glennurquhart2989]

The late great Chuck Loeb and Mark, what a combo...

[@robinthebobin6537]

A wild Bob Reynolds has appeared!

[@jonasmontag9229]

Really nice smooth groovy song! And then Bob shows up.. Damm what a welcome surprise!

[@brentonkelly3780]

Wow!amazing artistry. Love that funky out-there melody!

[@stefanguels]

When exceptional taste rules over hero ambitions...

[@pranavphx]

This album made me buy the disco off bandcamp. I mean just wow. I know ppl love him for the funk stuff but the lyrical quality and diversity in the album is absolutely stunning. Bubinga is such an amazing tune, any vocalist would be dying to sing that one and it doesn't even get its own video! I hope this album blows up and does what Remarkably Human has done for Nick Johnston. This album is right up there with Remarkably Human as one of the most important in this decade. The textures and diversity is absolutely next level.

[@mjlettieri]

I appreciate that very much! Spread the word!

[@pranavphx]

@@mjlettieri Wow, the Man himself. Congratulations on the PRS signature. It was about time!

[@xFliox]

I'm digging this vibe, thank y'all brothers

[@erajad]

I thought at first: "Where's the credit for vox/BV's?!" ... then I realized that it was the slide guitar! Talk about *vocal*! Very special. Thank you so much, Mark (& friends!) for brightening up my COVID-Christmas day. :))

[@KristofGuitar]

Two of my favorites! Bob Reynolds is one of my biggest inspirations as well. What a song! Lovely to see you play a tele as well!

[@KristinaMay2109]

😍watching from Milan Italy❤️

[@rolandfaucon1560]

nice and calm😄😄✨✨⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

[@mmcneal0290]

This track SLAPS!

[@joshuacollins6057]

That rung out chord at 1:53. My goodness. Tasty AF.

[@14choidh]

such a killer tune and expressive band!

[@jazzizm]

Apart from the musicality, these vids are also extremely well edited.

[@dannyricchio2445]

Stunning. Perfect timing. Fun to watch, Congrats guys

[@TimBeauBennett]

I adored this tune when you played it with Rich Brown in Toronto last year - the recording hasn't let me down! Thanks Mark.

[@charleswilliams9922]

Yoooooo I love everything about this track! Awesome work fellas please keep it coming!

[@이우성-i3o]

Amazing!!! I like it!!♥ very fun!!!😆👏👏👏👍💕❤💪

[@JackKad]

There harmony among instruments is dope. Invisible power really exist. I luv this team more

[@JulianMerkerMusic]

Man this groove had me spinning in my jim jams around the living room with a hot cup of tea in my hand - it became like a smooth dance with fire 🍵🎶 this tune is so slippery! Love it

[@brandenburg05]

tight doesn't come close to explaining this excellence! Love this bassline, too!

[@renato3475]

His music is sensational. Effects and chords you make on the guitar are very beautiful.*****

[@RaxFx]

incredibly good sounding recording - superb playing meets a great engineer

[@jordanc.a4456]

They are all awesome!!!

[@guitnotes]

Now thats a laid back groove!! The band sounds great!!

[@antoniodesimone2233]

Great taste and great sound. If you are not jealous, some information on the instruments used as amplifiers and pickups (hands cannot be replaced obviously)!

[@mattcornou710]

Love the groove as usual. Mark’s playing is a mix between Larry Carlton/Robben Ford/Lee Ritenour... these kinds of blues jazz groovy players! LOVE IT

[@KingNast]

Definitely, I love all those guys, and I think there's a dash of Wayne Krantz in there

[@ae3898]

Dream double-bill show: Mark and his band do a set of his own material, followed by Mark backing up Donald Fagen.

[@czarpaul01]

Great song, gotta pick this album up. Your band is fantastic, such talent. That tele style guitar is sweet,

[@woodwork5574]

Awesome tune and tone.

[@HansJohansson]

Yeah! Cool tune!

[@writetovagelis1975]

great work as always Mark love from Athens Greece

[@jacoporenzi5172]

Man that guitar is awesome 😍

[@turbo8481]

Damn this song is crispy! Nice

[@slowly7588]

What a sexy groove!

[@juanvaquero41]

i love the fact that you also play a tele, godamn markus

[@dylanrobinson6695]

I love how fast that new guitar just magically appears in the solo near the 5-minute mark. It's like there have been two Marks in the room the whole time lol.

[@rkostantin]

It was great, men! Wow ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheArchiveOfWonder]

This was a pleasant surprise in the way it developed. Even though it's a bit light and poppy and I prefer your harder/funkier stuff :)

[@mjlettieri]

Behold, the softer side of Lettieri.

[@JTonthedrums]

Hey man, it's okay to show your softer more gentle yet still retaining your manliness side every now and then! LOL....

[@MrJordanmclachlan]

Ridiculous musician, incredible writer, super-deep guitar player. Absolute triple-threat, this guy..

[@nicolawegmann1281]

Very tasty!! Excellent job 👍

[@lucasbelloni]

Good job man, great vibe!

[@8exequiel]

Hola, alguien sabe que marca es la telecaster?

[@anc2242]

🔥

[@iamishsantos]

TASTY

[@andrey_bassplayer]

Cool song)

[@groot873]

Muito bom

[@tempuramonster]

These guys must be like 2 inches tall if they can fit in the pocket that well.

[@jacobharley7117]

Love this tune Mark! Will there be transcriptions available for this album?

[@andrewisakov6266]

How to get that amazing drums sound? It's so nice

[@JTonthedrums]

Great triggers or amazing sound replacement! LMBO!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. All jokes aside, it's basically, just good tuning/heads/drums/room, great mic's/pre's/engineer, & a decent drummer that kind of knows what he or she's doing :-) Lol.... & you should be good to go. It's a process man.I'm still learning different things to try honestly, especially in the studio, which is a lot of fun actually. Every song & room has a sound. I basically just do whatever it takes to get a great sound that fits the song I'm recording. I'm not one of those "purest" guys who cringe at the mention of dampening or altering the "natural" sound of the kit. To me that's all a bunch of BS!! LOL!! That's like me telling Mark, "hey dude, you shouldn't use any pedals. Just plug and play" That's just dumb. Everyone uses tools/tricks/etc... to get "the sound" including the engineers. So drums are no exceptions. Thanks for the kind words my man. Appreciate that. Glad you're digging the sounds....

[@Fedealbi30]

qui per montefusco

[@ZtpaRokhum]

❤

[@Adriantsowa]

Great tune! Any particular reason the Collings is your go-to slide guitar? (As far as I can tell from these studio vids).

[@mjlettieri]

Thanks! I generally prefer humbuckers for slide, and this guitar just has a vibe :)

[@Robiq]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@andreasdjamas9808]

Where's Bubinga?

[@Kauezera]

What is the name of this musical style?

[@JNIHZA]

The Sax.

[@ZippyLeroux]

1:12-1:18 Mr. Mark, I'm sorry but if you're going to use laser guided chord playing technology you'll have to register that right hand with the Pentagon....

[@marktheshark27]

Finally I found you without that other guy!!!

[@ktrethewey]

Sadly, the bass seems not well mixed on this…?

[@piter4547]

lettieri line ok...

[@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas]

I don’t know man.... the bass player looks like he’s trying to hard to be cool and the guitarist sounds like Ler from Primus. Primus sucks.
