Peter Bernstein & Gilad Hekselman Plays "Sandu"

[@gillyarchtop]

Peter's playing can be outside but because his harmony and playing are so internalized and his swing feel is so present and the fact he loves the music, he makes outside sound inside.

[@Thayne2222]

Dude right? And it works both ways too, he makes inside shit sound absolutely hip because his feel, rhythmic choices, and time are so completely on.

[@guitargentmick-tv8424]

Pete’s solo is classic…inside, outside, bluesy …I love it

[@AidanCarberry]

Outside is really just very inside, don't you think?

[@gillyarchtop]

@@AidanCarberry Once you know it, it's all inside. But sometimes you can play outside when you are in the zone and you aren't really cognizant of the harmonic form - so maybe that's what outside is. I know it's a nice day today, so maybe I'll go outside. 🙂

[@AidanCarberry]

@@gillyarchtop Thats true! Although I’m sure Bernstein is very cognizant of the harmonic form

[@Larriex97]

Superb rhythm section. Gilad's solo is so much interesting speaking about its articulation and the sound.. incredibly well built. Bernstein's comping is so tasty

[@glenhorn4639]

Very handsome guitarist! I love that hot awesome drummer! You guys are sensational group of blessed musicians! God loves everyone of you fine men so much! Take care!

[@charlieparker8065]

I can’t get over how good Bernstein’s time feel is on this, particularly in the opening 3 choruses

Excellent!

I’ m not sure if Peter Bernstein is from the same generation (in artistic terms) of Gilad’s, but he’s certainly able to dialogue with these young cats. And, damn, this guy knows how to swing!! Man, I’m shocked!

[@ericschultz6539]

Kind of cold cutting it off right at the start of the bass solo. Just from listening to him lay down the law during the Gtr solos, it's a sure thing that his solo would have interesting to listen to. But talking about 'laying down the law"… mmmmm Mr Burn-Stein is the sheriff in town.

[@aidantaylor5048]

Great

Lovely..

[@maggle1891]

guys !!!! what you did with the theme sounds incredible, gilad solo begins soooo far ...

[@JazzGuitarScrapbook]

Gilad is a sith lord. It's the only explanation.

[@076657]

I don't hear Gilad being influenced by Bernstein in any way. In fact this performance makes me cringe a little because Gilad takes so many freedoms, playing corny notes at the begining. Calm down and just play the blues you're in front of a master.

[@rudyalexandermarquezmusic]

what corny notes?

[@samferguson9171]

[@gianfrancoriga3316]

Peter Bernstein...

[@Thayne2222]

Both dudes obviously rip but I feel like Gilad starts outside and dips into the blues which by the end makes me feel like I’ve been in a funhouse mirror room for too long whereas Pete roots the whole thing in blues and dips into some truly zany outside shit, sometimes even smearing them together in the same line and idk IMO it actually sounds hipper as a result. But that’s just my opinion obviously both dudes know exactly what the fuck they are doing and are doing it with intention but god damn Bernstein just rips. Does that truly galaxy brain shit where he’s like hey instead of just “switching modes (not musical modes” between the bop-blues thing and the blues scale/trad blues thing I’m gonna smash that shit together on the microscopic level into one ii V. Gotta transcribe some shit from this

[@MatthewJohnson-ps5uv]

Rushing

[@gilesjazzguitar64]

Pete was referencing the tune/melody I found Gilad's playing very technical but I felt it didn't serve the tune. Just my thoughts.

[@evantaylor7531]

Nah

[@freddymclain4955]

Peter's guitar sound's really rich and fat, just like it ought to. It's interesting to see how the blues translates to Jerusalem. You know Jesus had 'em.

[@ragezen1706]

@@zachwalgren1694 you're just repeating an prepared argument. I'll reiterate that all "legendary" and every other players have flaws, however if your flaws are showcased in NYC versus Fargo, ND they are overlooked or called "incredible energy" for increasing tempo or "amazing feel" for not understanding or being able to accurately execute certain rhythm patterns. The same flaws in Fargo would be pointed out for what they are.

Gilad is maybe trying to hold on to 2/4, but they just keep playing 4/4.. so it doesn't quite work out. Hekselman has different and more sophisticated style. Which is kind of true also with Bernstein. But this one is something else. Good.. but.

Bernstein is playing on his home turf on that tune, and I appreciate seeing Gilad being the learner in a performance for once.
