Joel is one of the most underrated geniuses on the planet. His sound is massive and his lines are freakishly clean and inspired, not to mention exciting as hell. I'm reading comments on here that are bitter, distasteful, misinformed, and just flat out wrong. I mean, who's this cat claiming that Joel is a Redman clone???? SERIOUSLY WHAT that's like comparing Dexter Gordon to Albert Ayler. I'm sorry I'm venting, KZbin is a wonderful and yet TWISTED place, and occasionally I find these human embodiments of terrible vibes, and I just wanted to go toe to toe with them and tell that that, not only are they wrong, they don't deserve to comment on musicians or the music, as the privilege is taken away given their disgusting, immature, and clueless approach to the jazz community. Jeol, if you read this, you are a big part of what I'm doing in the woodshed right now, and I can't tell you enough how much you mean to THE REAL community at large. Thank you for everything. JTB

Jackson Burris I totally agree. I couldn't have said it better!

[@basiefriend]

Completly share your point of view, Jackson. His only problem may be: Too shy/too modest By the way: He is a very nice guy

[@jerryjemmott3259]

Thanks for the reminder. I was with on Project A. He's in class by himself..

[@JJ_Photo]

Joel's solo on Sabah El Kheir was unbelievable. I was blown away. I loved that song so much that I wrote an arrangement of it for my group.

Geez. this is just so good!!

Amazing !!!

[@teelurizzo8542]

Freakin Awesome Quintet, incredible ensemble interaction.Great solos all around. Jason Lindner has a fantastic touch, I'm so used to listening to him playing Fender Rhodes/Synths that I sometimes forget about how much swing, dynamics he can inject into acoustic settings. Thanks for sharing.

[@ZEA120309]

Yeah Jason is amazing at almost everything... for sure one of the greatest swinging pianists around!! Thanks

[@teelurizzo8542]

@Raef Black: this is Joel Frahm. You of course are entitled to your opinion. Joshua and I are peers, and friends. If all you got from this was that I'm a "knock-off" of Josh- why don't you ask him what he thinks about that next time you see him?

[@raefblack7906]

because don't need redman to evaluate what I hear. I have been to this page onece an expressed an opinion net time don't @ me where I cant respond.

[@tracezacur6784]

Mr. Frahm, don't worry. This unusually obstinate and ignorant fellow has been dismantled below. Please take no heed to his awful contributions to this forum

[@raefblack7906]

dismantled by who you? your argument was a joke. ''Joshua and I are peers'' So A-hole go fuck yourself.

[@tracezacur6784]

:(

[@raefblack7906]

I'm gonna ,knock, knock on wood'

[@MichaelZamir]

very sweet and slow ballad , for people with time in their mind ... Thanks Omer ... When can we see you around , in Israel ?

[@melodychien]

[@frednox]

I am in love with this. Anybody in the know, are there any vinyl records anybody knows of that are similar to this?

[@saxnova]

Seriously though, Raef- I know your criticism of me has created a lot of bad feeling here- I'm totally cool with your opinion. None of this is that big a deal. I have a feeling if we were all talking in person, there would be a better, more civil vibe. No ill will from me.

[@robertbloom1637]

sweet

[@Ilium8]

Tasty!

[@BobDoherty]

Wow, too bad there aren't moderators on youtube. This Raef guy needs all his comments taken down. Such good playing on this tune. Just love trumpet and sax combo.

[@joacosanh]

Is there a studio version for this song?

[@ZEA120309]

Should be released later this year

[@saxnova]

Wow. Bad vibes here. Sorry I said anything in the first place. Peace and light, everyone.

[@EddieHaskelll]

Yeah, me too. Raef is a sorry, hateful little guy. Peace to you, too -- and thanks for the music. It speaks for itself.

[@joerobson9988]

I'm a huge fan of your music Joel. Exciting and original improvisation and what I've heard of your compositions I really like too. Looking forward to seeing you play if you ever come to the UK.

[@tiagoerazu9664]

16 people got pregnant hearing this, so they disliked

[@saxnova]

"Interpetate?" Hehe. That's funny.

[@sellobodibe5888]

People don't criticize you for bad things bad for good tings. Joel you shook the heel of the critics. Go on brother your are on the straight and correct path . You have created hope and open possibilities for for people who enjoy and listen to you.One day the world of jazz will acknowledge and listen to what you have to offer.

[@chebachaka]

Sax amazing. Trumpet, out of tune. Sorry

[@ZEA120309]

hahah... this is Avishai Cohen. and also, dont get to obsessed with perfect tuning... pitch is another way to express yourself through sound...and emotions. tThanks for listening.
