Atomic clocks keep time using this drummer guy's rhythm. What practice !

[@carnivaltym]

Great line! Love it! Saw him jamming to guys heating large hanging steel plates with blow torches - not sure how it worked exactly but the plates (5foot high x 2/3 foot wide) made a vast array of creaks and cracking noises some, under a wide diffuse flame had deep pitches and some, when under narrow focused flames made higher pitched rapid flurries. So, in combination, this meant he had a complex variety of beatless beats to jam off. Idk really how to describe it but he pulled it all together and got several standing ovations throughout the performance. Utterly outrageous drumming.

[@Marco-tg3nk]

That is jazz! Congratulations!

[@ImprovSpaceResearch]

Thank you Marco!

[@yoannlardent9787]

Maaaaaaaan BEFORE his solo i thaugh the drummer was the true star of the show, but dam after it...Boy did he blow the roof! Emotion creation and intensity ... Brilliant!

[@beefheart1410]

Wouldn't it be great if there were still bars where you could go every night to listen this? Imagine, being able to sit with a pint whilst this was going down? Now THAT would be a local to spend a LOT of time in. If such a bar existed, you could bet your bottom dollar that the barman would know what my "usual" was!

[@Philipp1610]

This Kind of dedication in musicianship is rare I feel Tho. Like 1 every 200.000 can cat like that

[@MrRelax3737]

[@LogicShouldRule]

WOW - the drummer is really good!

[@WestphillyRhythmconnection]

Extreme amounts of amazing Groove..

[@drecool6976]

Keepin real jazz alive here .The drum solo is off the hook and on some real Elvin Jones ish.The band sounds tight too.

[@ImprovSpaceResearch]

Thank you!

[@winstonwolfe5733]

The drummer captured Elvin's soul indeed, but isn't the pianist sitting close to Bob James?

[@drecool6976]

@@winstonwolfe5733 I would say He s in the pocket ,But he is reading the music. Jazz expression is mostly improv to really be expressive.He s a good read more for studio.

[@hanswurst1529]

This drum Solo is extraordinary ❤

As a martial arts practitioner and former instructor, I've done and taught"Sanchin Breathing" since 1971 and it's Supposed to be what Wind Instrument players like Mr. Gilman would've done, yet I'm not sure, if I could do, Circular-Breathing 1/2 as Good as he does!! I still try to do it as my wife laughs at me 😀🥺

[@reytervogel]

Estimados amigos del cuarteto. Deseo felicitarlos por la magnífica versión de este icónico tema, Afro Blue. Muy bien interpretado por todos los músicos. Se notó mucho control, pero con bastante libertad en la ejecución de cada solo instrumental. Rogelio Reyter V. Panamá.

[@ImprovSpaceResearch]

¡Muchas gracias!

[@juanmanuelalvarezrodriguez84]

Merci!

[@patam-patam]

Massive ! !! 🔥🔥🔥 Could you please tell me what mouthpiece Scott plays here?

[@ImprovSpaceResearch]

Hi Patrick, thanks for your comment! It's a Sugal but I'm not sure what the model is. I was able to visit Gary's facility and pick out one in progress in the mid 1990s. It could be an early Jerry Bergonzi model from back when Jerry was developing some pieces with Gary Sugal

[@roberto3582]

cool!

[@heesable]

Wow!!!

[@beefheart1410]

There's much more of the Blues evident in this rendering than Coltrane's take.

[@ImprovSpaceResearch]

Thank you for listening and commenting Beefheart1!

[@allandunham6382]
