Mehliana (Brad Mehldau & Mark Guiliana) - Just Call Me Nige (Live)

[@randomguestobserving6071]

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.

[@randomguestobserving6071]

@@murkymurk8305 Thx ;)...here's another one who is able to do this but from a very different style of drumming kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ-xZ2SkjJZ_r5I

[@ChristineDowd]

@@murkymurk8305 well said and groove unharmed....

[@mjsz409]

cannot stop coming back to this

[@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.

[@rahularun1834]

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

[@vivekteega]

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

[@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.

[@331paradiddle]

7/4 is the new 4/4

[@NeonGru]

😁❤️

[@marcellocaminhafilho]

Yes.

[@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.

[@qil5252]

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

[@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!

[@shalominthehome92]

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

[@jonathanhill6109]

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

[@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.

[@Zippow76]

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

[@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]

still a gret display of power playing by a duo

[@zacharygh]

The piano solo at the end gives me life.

[@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]

Paincakess Because people suck and they wouldn't appreciate it.

[@dannolan3219]

Paincakess Just reached this through Jazz FM 91.1 Toronto

[@Branden923]

+Paincakess 90.3 KEXP Seattle.

[@SuperJohnnyO]

GOLDEN @2:43 when Mark lays into the bell. That gets Brad's head groovin'...!

[@julienfayolle.rennes]

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

[@psyclonoughts316]

when i found thius it was a real boost to my awareness of musical innovation at a cutting edge of interaction with drum and keyboard i dont here much musical innovation nowadays but this is at the forefront of musical exploration so i want to share it with you all

[@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!

[@oriohoodlum]

Beeeeeefy groove 😎

[@wmdrums]

These two play so well together.

[@psyclonoughts316]

and the counterpoint at four minutes is superb

[@Kittys-Music]

What can I say? Genius...Perfection...Thanks guys xxx

[@PLeonTube]

Oh, my...!Hearing this is like plugin yourself in a 2000V outlet!! Pure energy!!

[@peskypesky]

best new music I've heard in years.

[@martincardozo2205]

***** same here. incredible man

[@shaibaliqbal]

I came to this thinking it would be disappointing, but does Brad ever disappoint? Masterful. Love it!

[@erobinidcf]

These two are joined at the hip and cranium !

[@funkadiktou]

Wow, nice music, nice concept and nicer drumming. Hands down from Spain to you Mark Guiliana. Keep pushing boundaries and inspiring drummers from all around the world!

[@FR-ph]

superb

[@collinoliver5713]

Mehldau fan for life 😭🙌🏿

[@jeremymatho3593]

just the quintescence of music im crying my soul each time i ear this peace of god

[@1.4142]

Insane. How didn't I find this sooner

[@rembeadgc]

This is straight dope. Real fusion will never die. Beautifully executed and beautifully shot.

[@slimsalmon]

Please make a live version of this album!!

[@akselcoe6333]

I love seeing such great players experiment with electonics and synths.

[@larsio72]

Sounds like the soundtrack to the city Berlin. Solid!

[@mikeosso6487]

The slow down mid way through is unbelievable. 80's-ish Vampiric Electro Hop

[@biggestfanofroger]

that fucking bassline!

[@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 ?

[@SuperJohnnyO]

I never want this to stop.

[@mamiche9925]

Pure Genius...

[@rfeyman3682]

Listening to this piece with headphones - gave me the chills. So good.

[@PunyapatFungtammasarn]

I think this is the new era of jazz because I'm starting to see Robert Glasper work and Brad doing this kinda stuff.It's so refreshing !

[@mimiseton]

I agree with Remy. I love the courage ~ and I also FEEL this one

[@marcomioli1124]

Questa è una meraviglia musicale...! fantastica

[@ansonstiles]

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

[@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.

[@radenadityatama6188]

there are so much emotions in here

[@Monchyjc]

es perfecto!

[@frenchef7]

groove level: INSANE

[@philippgrunert8776]

This is freaking inspiring

[@ocno]

Even better than the album version. The whole additional downtempo part, starting around 6:00 is absolutely breathtaking. Masterful.

5:15-6:40 is what Bach would play if he were a jazz pianist in the 21st century.

[@OneMoreCubebyMrSvart]

I kinda agree ahah

yeah so right!!!

[@concernedcitizen4852]

Nah...

[@jonathandeutsch3991]

bachlike for sure

[@UkuleleAversion]

@@concernedcitizen4852 Bruh, he literally released an album called After Bach and has said in interviews that the three Bs (Beethoven, Bach and Brahms) are big influences on him. Don't be a contrarian just because you don't know shit.

[@Eazyaintdead]

Brad's left hand just never stops

[@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.

[@benjaminkenobi21]

4:02 to 4:19, the best part of this performance. Unfortunately, you won't hear any phrases that cool on the actual record.

[@MathildeRenaultOFFICIAL]

Wooooow, énormous! i don't have the words!!!

[@Jlipnicki]

Even listening on the built in speakers on a Chromebook the quality of the playing and nuance is clear. Great balance between electronic and acoustic instruments is rare.

[@SpittingLamaMIDI]

Makes me nostalgic for the great Zawinul.

[@carltonwhite9682]

Yes sir...As soon as I heard the first chord...definitely Joe Zawinul's influence...sounded like Joe and either Omar Hakim or Pete Erskine...Weather Report 2.0!
