Thundercat is unreal

[@jasonharris3965]

Seriously. He was literally rolling almost instantaneously with HH's phrasing.

[@Deerych]

An unreal fucking gift to the world!

[@eltonester6531]

His brothers even crazier in my opinion

[@Bibblebabbler]

He is so overrated and sloppy. Names himself after a cartoon what a tool😂

[@smarmar400]

The exchange between Ronald and Herbie is just insane. Ronald is like a young Tony Williams and I think Herbie felt it.

[@guilhermantunes]

1:38 Robert's reaction of Herbie is hilarious!!

[@smarlybazile1259]

That first chord was straight up wisdom

[@ManielDemFef]

Hes first line is playing a chord-appegio a half step above the basic chord - outside as far as you can start and get

[@richiebeirach3671]

see what herbie can do to people ?? hE WAS 78 HERE !!playing with these kids like he was one of them but he wasnt of course ,,his GENIUS GOES BEYOND AGE STYLE GENRE EVERYTHING i dont have much hope for the future of jazz but when i watch this ,,,,i feel good about it ,, herbie ,,,,thank you my brother ,,for all you have given ,,and what you are STILL GIVING

[@christianboisseau4675]

Herbie was on keys all of 10 seconds already got the crowd going nuts!!

[@saky228]

Chris Dave wants to play so bad haha

[@drewb5775]

Hell i would too

[@mistakeef]

😭😭😭😭😭😭 Chris Dave hilarious.... grab a drink and your camera phone and enjoy

[@redlineseditor4307]

If God showed up to your softball game and you were on the bench, you'd grab a glove and run out on the field too.

[@jimissun]

I hope Herbie Hancock never dies and lives forever.

[@kuzeysirinka4265]

That’s the biggest take away of all time!

[@aaronbarber6169]

4:48 Herbie responds to Terrace's SMOOTH ass line in the coolest way possible, Terrace answers with another f*king beautiful line. This is music

[@AvAfanfromfrance]

The sheer weight of legend this club was hosting that night.. Can you see the love overflow

[@MrSaxMyJazz]

ThunderCat holding it all down!!

[@redlineseditor4307]

He got HH fired up. Man this is epic.

[@sebbo1496]

don't forgto bruner on drums too. that guy is a beast. he's flying free while holding a tight groove. crazy stuff

[@xebio6]

@@sebbo1496 This. The amount of funkiness these 2 brothers exude is stunning. Dream rhythm section.

[@risharddaniels1762]

xebio6 honestly man, ultimate funkiness right there man

[@lordkfunk]

7:42 Hahahaha... Ronald just takes the stick from Chris' hands...

[@Aplustradomus]

OMG i can barely watch without screaming..The Bruner brothers..OMFG

[@deonsmith5183]

Chris Dave is doing the most......Ronald is holding it down!!!! Plus he playing with his brother Thundercat, why would Ronald ever get up for Chris Dave to play????

[@algorhythms._2195]

Tbh I would have way preferred to hear Chris play with herbie. Ronald is slamming the drums borderline hogging the spot light from Herbie. It was a hype vamp they were playing on but Herbie shines so much more with a drummer that’s playing with more finesse. It’s just a party show tho so it’s whatever.

[@lukeweston1234]

@@algorhythms._2195 I enjoy both of their playing. I think the problem is with the phone recording tbh.

[@nr7370]

Maddening. Frighteningly beautifully maddening!!! Hearts leap for joy when Herbie approaches the keys...

Ronald and Steven bring so much to this jam. Everyone does

[@samsamba08]

This is the BEST I've heard him (HH) play this style since the 70's. Including "proper" live shows and recordings... Mind-blowing!

[@Zeekoso]

samsamba08 I never thought Herbie Hancock was a superb Jazz pianist before till watching this. He's clearly been improving over the years. He's superb in Classical music, that's for sure.

[@cscientst]

@@Zeekoso whaaa?

[@Zeekoso]

@@cscientst yes I meant what I said

[@mrebear9758]

Man, you've got to listen to more Herbie...

[@simonduring-nicholson7228]

@@Zeekoso had to create another profile and ask again.... whaaa? THOUSANDS would disagree. What have you been listening to of his to draw that conclusion?

[@Yash42189]

That moment when you jammin with the boiz and the greatest living jazz pianist walks in

[@benflint]

So great to hear young people really excited by something as sophisticated as Herbie

[@younglo1005]

Yep, it's nothing but musical prodigies on the stage tho.

[@maxsergeant9934]

They all playing complicated shit whats your point... Herbie is a fucking legend thats why they are getting excited, but they are all capable of playing difficult shit

[@RogerBiwandu]

@@maxsergeant9934 He's not saying difficult, he said sophisticated, I see your point Max, but I see also Ben's point.

[@JazzFlightProduction]

Herbie is Black and honest sophisticated is not correct soul and feel is what we All our here for or hear!! 😎

[@simonduring-nicholson7228]

@@JazzFlightProduction I guess you didn't hear Herbie dismantling the metronome with his rhythmical displacements/metric modulations?

[@sub-shrub7456]

cool! the song is "butterfly", from herbie hancock's "thrust" album, if anyone's wondering. the live version on his 1975 "flood" album is also very cool

[@djpanrasdaversiteoldschool8912]

Wait wait wait a min!! SOON AS HERBIE HIT THE 1ST PHASE. I LITERALLY PAUSED THE VIDEO & ROLLED ON MY BED NEXT TO ME IN EXCITEMENT.. SHOULD OF SEEN MY REACTION!! LOL

[@LeeluLA]

:) thats awesome!! The crowd went crazy too!!

[@marekrunowski2208]

The same here. That's the difference between genius and normal.

[@adrianharpham9643]

He flattens in that first phrase.. Yoda, guru, next galaxy shit

[@BlackRootsUNLIMITED]

Herbie Hancock is on a whole other level, way way way up! WAY UP! 🔥

[@alexandradillard2077]

I like this in black and white. It gives it a vintage kind of flair. Thanks for posting.

[@alexandradillard2077]

My oldest sister turned me on to Robert Glasper. This band is slamming! I got chills when Herbie Hancock came out!

[@theHellzaPoppinjazz4u]

Magic !

[@kotchstevens2321]

luv the base playing..

[@emmanuelebin9427]

Rob referred to Herbie as "...another piano player.." Thats hilarious lol. Anyways, I admire the sincerity, humility and openness to ideas as they flow from a stream consciousness. Well played guys!

[@jcmatu]

esto es hermoso e increíble! Glasper es la continuación de la escuela de Hanckok...y en este video parece como Glasper lo respeta y como Hanckok le da su bendición! viva la musica!!!!!!

[@Deerych]

Wow! Musical giants....all of them! GIANTS I SAY!

[@nepmobile3583]

I got the chills

[@emmadetten]

oh that's a cool take on Butterfly

[@stilllearningtruth]

Wow, what an incredible treat. All of them wonderfully gifted and dedicated musicians here. I wish Ronald hadn't been interrupted but nevertheless what a jam. I've seen Herbie Live 6 or 7 times live and every time is better than the first, He is a musical genius. We are very lucky to have a living legend that has contributed so much to music over so many decades, still walking among us.

[@lifenpoetry5107]
