Prelude To a Kiss / Gilad Hekselman Trio, Montreux 2006

[@lifewithasong]

Just beautiful. Nostalgic. Melacholic. Romantic. Has it all and more. . .I just can't put all the words to it right now.

[@loren1283]

Seeing Gilad live by chance in NYC was like a turning point in my life. If anybody doesnt have splitlife yet, go buy it! You will love it.

[@sysphus13]

make it your business to see this guy live, what he's after is what everyone who says they play jazz should be after..this cats playing is DEEP...and he plays with the best guys in town (ari hoenig, joe martin, jeff ballard, the cohens etc.)

[@pencap23]

Love the TONE of that Howard Roberts! BEST music in the world to fall asleep to. Every line is a new melody!

[@gdansk12349]

Yeah lines tend to be melodies 😅

[@cliffworks4321]

Gilad is wonderful, very tasty soulful styling and maturity beyond his years, I love how he compliments his playing in the higher register with lines and chordal fragments in the lower register. cliff in tokyo

[@JENSIEMA]

Wooow I'm in love with this guy!!! good musician and soooooo terribly handsome!!! kisses to him!!!

[@pandkak031]

That's very good. I'd like to see more of your videos.

Beautifully played, simply Superb! Regards, R~

[@speedspeed121]

I just picked up a red Gibson Howard Roberts; partially because I love the way Gilad's sounds.

[@JonathanGlasmeyer]

Tariqh Akoni just recommended you on Facebook. Well-deserved.

[@lozsloot]

Get to see him live very soon. :DDDDDDDDDDD

[@soilsminor11]

yes!

[@MultiBEATA]

very nice

[@nickdrake1984]

Its a Vintage Gibson Howard Roberts Signature guitar, Epiphone(then owend by Gibson) also made it at some point. Gibson still produce it but its a different design now.

[@jazzlefty]

argghhh!! muy bueno.

[@sakuravonpivondergeist1964]

You play beautifully !! & you're very handsome too

[@theandyherbert]

Damnit he took all of the classy talent and masculine of the world

[@robertm2000]

I consider two things listening to jazz players: would I A)buy their CD? and B) pay to see them live? in Gilad's case, YESSSSS!!!!

[@NJlo]

So now we know how to bring jazz to the mainstream.. I guess I should start working out more now.

[@holladayinnn]

get more videos of him, hes one of my favorite guitarists along with metheny, montgomery, scofield, and rosenwinkel

[@jleber]

@HendrixcommaMartin - It's an old Gibson Howard Roberts guitar

[@nada502]

good

[@LukeDallert]

Gilad is great! 5:06-5:09 = Beauty and the Beast!!! --> Fantastic Soloending!

[@jacksonclifford]

4:38 HELLYEAH

[@Nigethejazzer]

Fantastic.I'm gonna go practice some more....

[@babinm]

Holy Shit I own that same guitar. I payed $800.00 for it in 1980. I freind of mine got one used same time for $350.00. They sell on ebay for about $1500.00. Proof you don't need a high end guitar to get a great sound. It is the player and the amp.

[@JoePandur]

I love this clip, but is so quiet, can someone redo the sound and post it again, pls! One of the best jazz guitar clips on YT!;)

[@impolitikful]

@aaronlebos what did he show you in the lesson?

[@impolitikful]

@2AMbandRI what did he show you in the lesson?

[@jazzlefty]

that tapping ang the counter melody is fresh adition to jazz sound, nice Gilad!! h what gauge of strings do you use? gracias!!

[@RockinDbop1]

2:39 looks at bass player like "bro wtf was dat"

[@shoegazer666]

Man, this guy must get sooo much action. handsome AND talented. if he's also a 1337 hacker, i give up ever getting laid.

[@Eyesayah]

Nice. Recalls the MJQ approach.

[@jaslyman]

@BoomFunkyPanda 27 or 28 now

[@tawnteens]

Don't knock the rhythmn section. The drummer is super-hot too! Check out Ferenc Nemeth.

[@impolitikful]

if you play along with the bass, he actually played the changes. He wasn't that outside really.

[@Finkldorkin]

Wow.. he obviously has a great harmonic understanding. I feel ashamed to have my guitar videos on the same youtube that he does......ouch... its too good..

[@SiMiChiamanoMariel]

...sutil...

[@perpetualmotion319]

He looks like a young Christoph Waltz

[@WalkerMasuda]

didn't really dig the completely abstract bass solo- And i get that its extremely difficult to pull that off. But man, that guitarist is goin' places, ya know?

[@Obswalq]

didn't know Ryan Reynolds was this good!

[@esbaritenor]

*drools

[@josh_7569]

Steph Curry on the bass.

[@Racemark123]

the lick at 3:57 is so fucking dirty

[@lovefortheloveoflove]

*****

[@andrewmcgehee6201]

0:49 he looks like ben aflec with a mustache

[@Ivanjazzy]

@Obswalq hahahaha

[@tu767]

Very nice
