Isaiah J. Thompson Quartet: Tiny Desk Concert

[@obakobina]

yes more jazz on tiny desk !!

[@marvinhagler4721]

EXACTLY

[@anthonywhite2960]

Tiny Desk has a giant musical footprint. I live in a small isolated town, so hearing something like this live, is near impossible. Thanks to NPR, I get pretty close.

[@fralemieux]

I agree! I live in Berlin. And believe me when I say that when it comes to jazz it sometimes feels like a small isolated town. Don't get me wrong though - there are great players here. But what comes out of the US has that magical imprint, that spirit and depth and drive. Jazz is quite possibly the USA' greatest historical achievement - thanks to NPR for the relay of all around great music. Salutations Anthony!

[@richardlepre4821]

where do you live? I will bring world class jazz there

[@lxxwj]

glad to see kyle poole on here, hes been tearing it up with emmet cohen for a few years now. highly recommend emmet's youtube channel if ppl wanna hear more great jazz

[@charlescoult]

The amount of control that guy has over that tenor sax is unreal...

[@raymascetta]

I would also add that his self control is like a breath of fresh air 💫

[@fredericocanelas7936]

man set fire to that piano

[@lauracorboy6747]

NPR tiny desk sooo cool! I've been channeling my inner dad who died this spring. He loved jazz. Always liked jazz. Now I'm jazzin' with dad!

[@i.t.t.]

"Jazz may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of The Juilliard School," actually it is 99.99% of the time, when I hear Juilliard, I hear Jazz thanks for this series

[@pfatalbert]

Isaiah is downright amazing with the John Pizzarelli trio

[@GameNationRDF]

This is definitely one of the 20220831 TDC JJ IsaiahThompson FINAL videos of all time

[@BassT_Arts]

coming home after work, drinking a coffee and smoking some flowers...perfect moment for this incredible music

[@subtleblows]

surprised it isn't FINAL FINAL FINAL2

[@PentameronSV]

0:00 - *Maestros of the Community* (6:33 / 6:40) 7:23 - *Thank You Betsy* (12:46 / 12:54) 13:38 - *The Highest Calling* (19:03) [19:15 - Tiny Desk team]

[@robin_birdie_]

thank you very much for this! and shame on you, npr editors, for not dividing videos into the chapters!

[@TheMuppetman421]

Can’t believe I went to highschool with this guy. Was incredible then, what a performer now!

[@BreakbeatD17]

JJ Isaiah Thompson and his quartet sounded real smooth and tasteful!!😁👌🏻👍🏻I really enjoyed their tiny desk concert and looking forward to more from this jazz series😄🎹🎷🥁.

[@PharaohLawLess1]

Love this! Glad to see Jazz is continuing and in good capable hands

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Nice seeing/hearing Kyle Poole here! Love his playing with Emmet Cohen, and he’s clearly locked in with this group too!

[@gfsandy]

One of the finer tiny-desk moments. Although admittedly, there are many.

[@dawanmuhammad9356]

Always love to see and hear youngsters preserving the tradition!

[@kevp9601]

❤GO, JAZZ QUARTET, GO ! ❤

[@dweldan9036]

Bruh Isaiah’s music literally be breaching🥰

[@EuphoricImpact]

This is a solid performance. The pianist really swings! Makes me think of Cedar Walton (I hear Mulgrew Miller also), and that tenor sound is reminiscent of Frank Foster.

[@ntandoscrayonbox]

I hear the Cedar thing too

[@chIvyrose]

"Thank You Betsy" is wonderfully beautiful!

[@tmcdgreen]

Love this!! And Isaiah's cap + matching tie combo is fire

[@AlexiHolford]

I had never seen an upright piano with the lid open before! Way cool. 🎹🎵🎶

[@tomas5376]

I close my eyes and these beautiful sounds take me back to San Francisco’s Purple Onion so many, many years ago!🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶👏👏👏👏👏

[@peckwong]

The vibe is great, you guys work really well together as a team, the music is great, thanks for sharing

[@lievenvv]

Thanks Kyle (and Emmet & co), for pulling us through the pandemic 🙏

[@batgwill]

Super cool to see Isaiah crush it on this ‘stage’!

[@bryananimemax]

Sublime

[@huxkiriye]

This is beautiful ...Sweet Jazz

[@fideliusconcrete4871]

I love that band - the boys are swinging - and with a real master like Kyle helping them out it's gotta run smoothly ... Great job, please more of that!

[@oliverrasmussen4777]

I feel sophisticated today🙃

[@pauljackson7877]

Love it! Man, my piano wishes...

[@bersanji]

About a time. Talk about GOLD…

[@sol-reviver6110]

WOWZERS! Truly timeless! What an amazing trip! These guys can vibe! I was jiving the whole time! I couldn't keep still! Well, more like my facial expressions couldn't keep still! WOWZERS! I TELL YEAH! Lol! It was so much fun listening to these Yung-ens. SO YOUNG... yet so sigma..... of a sound! WOWzers! I was so blown away that once I came back to, at about @19:30 I had to re-watch and re-experience this. Thank you NPR/Tiny Desk. P.S. It's like listening to a whole new set. These Artists of Life are amazing! A whole new sound each time. Now that is truly timeless!

[@elizabethduran5282]

Gxg

[@marcdumont2275]

Actually jazz is what I think of when I think of Juilliard. It's a music school.

[@CorkyMeadows]

Wow, I am just discovering this incredible musician. I’m blown away.

[@Newguywiththecamera]

KEEP THE JAZZ COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VelvetLattimoreVedazzlingAc]

So elegant! Great vibe..

[@brownkemosabe]

Nothing like the amazing experience of 20220831 TDC JJ IsaiahThompson FINAL

[@schmalzreed]

Kyle poole on the drums is an absolute machine

[@kamp-anders]

Very well played, the sound comes directly from the 50s and did not change a bit.

[@ghameleon]

The drummer's smile though😌

[@psoltanoff]

I hear the T. Monk influence. Nice!

[@Joemakatozi1776]

A lot of Tyner too.

[@borjonx]

Those first few notes made me smile & it just got better from there! Awesome!

[@CollinMK]

I am awestruck by 20220831 TDC JJ IsaiahThompson FINAL. SO inspiring.

[@sueauclair8704]

Fantastic! Met you in Portsmouth, New Hampshire last winter with John Pizzarelli!

[@michaeldavis9954]

Great tunes and musicianship all around. Bonus: they never lost the soul and the groove, and they never overplayed, even though they probably have the technical skills to do that. I really enjoyed the performance. Thanks!

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

I am so happy to have discovered 20220831 TDC JJ IsaiahThompson FINAL

[@parkbreezy]

Julian Lee is the greatest saxophone player of our generation

[@laserbeamlightning]

[@lafaitele01]

🙋🏽‍♂️

[@andrelopes3003]

Doesn't show how many dislikes

[@blairmcneil5313]

Wow. Video opened with piano, It felt warm and accessible, African American and I was right. Theres a warmth that's rare to see.

[@aragregorian6039]

Thank you Isaiah! Love you all & looking forward to the good fruits to come. Fantastic band!

[@ebonykaleidoscope]

A scorching set. Wow!

[@dirkstanley9030]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Love this.

[@uploads6087]

the drummer isn't flashy, but if you're really listening, his pocket/touch is amazing.

[@garrycope8923]

I agree with Isaiah respect your elders. Wisdom is shared not given.

[@kenc1ark]

Wow, I think I like jazz now!

[@alonsouch]

Love IT!

Pure fire! I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for sharing

[@Byzzon]

Nothing better than some delicious 20220831 TDC JJ IsaiahThompson FINAL in the morning.

[@guitarsfunmods3986]

Wow his style is really like the late Kenny Kirkland. Also his posture too...

[@craigkeller]

WOW! Just WOW!

[@bucketofbarnacles]

Stunning.

[@tonykindred520]

Tiny Desk. Yes indeed.

[@ajdijksma4924]

Yes💪

[@FRUGALZZZ1]

Nice touches of Coltrane in that final tune, IMHO.

[@kevinjunior7210]

this performance is so heart warming guys thanksssssssss. the guy on da key is a beast👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@kitthearty]

Awesome. Takes me back to when every tv show had this style back in the early 60's. But it was always an acquired taste. Did Bob D and folk and then rock and revival of earlier jazz modes take over? Visions of formica tables and crazy architecture and smokey bars.

[@rd4660]

Most excellent.

[@mmaannuueell]

refrescante! !!

[@Mr1drumlover]

Magnificent!

[@IsraelAgyemanPrempeh]

Release the 20220831 TDC JJ IsaiahThompson FINAL FINAL FINAL Cut!!

[@darrinwest6734]

[@carltoncotter2614]

Just so great! Peace and thank you to Tiny Desk once again.

[@zewefred1744]

Isaiah is playing like MichealPetruccianni.Superb!
