SIMON PHILLIPS & PROTOCOL V -- "Jagannath"

[@stevenpotter5183]

Did not know Simon Phillips’ prominence until seeing him record and perform with Hiromi Uehara, who I believe is genius and savant on piano. After learning about Simon Phillips’ amazing career, I felt wholly ignorant, but then knew why, with so many drummers out there, Hiromi wanted Simon Phillips. This video is just another example of his amazing talent.

[@robertreedy414]

First heard Simon on Jeff Becks , "There and Back"

[@DarioMorandi8686]

I already love this Protocol V... especially the last track, "The long road home". I can't stop to play it... a very masterpiece.

[@Juupke]

Same here

[@alkingborn]

grandissimo disco anche stavolta, concordo 100%

[@alessandroscibetta7411]

Simon non delude mai, ma secondo me ciò che riesce da anni nei protocol è ernest tibbs al basso, una macchina da guerra !

[@lowrd652]

Yes

[@leedodson3136]

Exactly, same here…truly a masterpiece. One of if not favorite songs. Doesn’t get old! So much to break down. Just love it!!

[@EarthAltar]

You haven't lived until you get to sit right in front of Simon's drum set for a whole show while eating a NY strip dinner. Come back to Florida! The Funky Biscuit needs you.

[@drewmesiano7602]

Yeah had a whole table to see protocol 4 for my birthday few yrs ago at the biscuit... No reschedule no refund.. enjoy our$. 👎 Obviously P4 has nothing to do with.

[@EarthAltar]

@@drewmesiano7602 No refund? Why?

[@drewmesiano7602]

@@EarthAltar told it wasnt cancelled but to be rescheduled.. then they closed. Then they reopened cpl month later sold tix to more new shows closed up again. Then reopened months later and you had to buy new tix for the same rescheduled shows. As of NOW its supposed to be a new company with same owner + Investor (s).

[@EarthAltar]

@@drewmesiano7602 Geez. That blows. I've only been there twice. Once for Pat Travers and the Protocol show. It's a cool little place, but they need to get their act together if they want to stay in business. Can't treat people like that and expect to survive.

[@drewmesiano7602]

@@EarthAltar yeah sucked.I don't live there but Ive been there several times. Including Albert Castiglia for New Year's( great show) where my wife was fed raw chicken in the dark, but they gave us a togo box that sat on our table for 2+ hrs.🙄. she spent Jan 1st puking til 1pm. I'm sure she wasn't the only one. No refunds were offered. Just a Have a nice day.

[@markoj182]

Well, I am a rocker at hearth and I LOVE THIS. Complex but not overly complicated, groovy yet smooth, punchy but not tryhard mess. Just the right amount of everything... ♥

[@stevemiller1517]

A blend of weather report and return to forever?

[@GregJacobs]

Simon and Earnest are so tight. Absolutely on fire. They play with and off each other like Alex Acuna and Jaco Pastorius.

[@tel5690]

Top level playing and killer chops. Simon,Alex, Ernest, Otmar, Jacob...all deliver

[@swiftusmaximus5651]

If they couldnt Simon would nt be playin with em

[@kieronbowker9983]

Just love the sound of sax and overdriven guitar holding the melody in unison. When they split it adds colour. When they combine it is sublime. This is surely one of the greatest fusion albums since Romantic Warrior. And I thought Protocol IV was genius. Incredible musicianship. Wonderful composition. This just totally floats my boat in a rough sea of nearly albums. Perfect.

[@LukeSpacey]

That´s modern Jazz at its finest, thank you!!!

[@j.d.7208]

Phenomenal musicianship Simon's one of my favorite drummers complete masterclass

[@JamieLebish]

Absolutely smokin' Simon and Band.

[@ChadRosas]

I'm from Perú, this kind of Music is not that popular at all in my country. But I'm truly in love with Protocol 💘

[@jst4824]

me too!👍

[@HarrrySpider]

Just saw them last night in Oakland, at Yoshi's... Possibly the most flawless execution of complex music I have ever witnessed... I've seen Simon w Hiromi many times, earlier Protocol versions... Chick Corea, Al DiMeola group, so many others.. all great in different ways. But THIS group was stunning, absolutely stunning. Simon's drumming was superlative as usual, but the guitar and sax solos were so stratospherically magnificent. We simply couldn't believe what we were seeing. A remarkable accomplishment, well done gentlemen! Bought the CD and enjoyed it on the way home. Long may you run!

[@Jedizen07]

LOVE this album ( " Dark Star " may be my all time favorite piece written by Simon )! The songs and the newest version of the band ( as a whole ) are rhythmically tighter than the previous versions of Protocol but with A LOT more compositional flare.

[@faridanelsonstudio]

My absolute favourite band!!!❤ You guys are monsters!

[@arolalbertolitovicodenecta2478]

Buenísimo de NECTAR. Muchaa gracias por la música que nos mantiene unidos. 🎶🎵💎 Very good from NECTAR. Thank you very much for the music that keeps us together. 🎶🎵💎

[@Libri_amore_e_fantasia]

We saw them live yesterday at Blue Note in Milan, Italy, really great concert!! ❤

[@ІгорКузьманенко]

That pedal note is brilliant. Great tune, great people

[@mikeingman4841]

Sounds great as always from protocol great band being a drummer I admire Simon Phillips very much very talented

[@FusionHowie]

The epitome of coolness! I don't know how Simon stays so perfect! I'm almost 60 I can remember playing to his drum parts from Duncan Brown, Jon Anderson, Stanley Clarke , 801 in the 70's being able to pull off his awesome double bass parts that I so meticulously ripped off, I can barely pull it off now and I work out a few times a week. Awesome song! Buy the album its fantastic! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@AProgressiveRockFanatic]

Welp. Watching these maestros play at this level while (some) watching sheet music and STILL whipping up a nearly unbelievable storm of energy and sparkle and verve- jaw-dropping.

[@robertreedy414]

Complexity, with groove and taste.

[@Wizardofgosz]

PROTOCOL: Now with Alex Sill. Off the hook SICK.

[@sturla75]

Absolutely stunning!! Groove and feel for days!

[@sivispacemparabellum6923]

👍👍🎖🎖🏅🏅🏆🏆 *Super album Super artists. Simon Phillips, I can very well imagine that such a project takes a lot of time and little sleep Really relaxing. Going on tour and recording an album or doing other projects eats away at the body. Everything you have achieved and done in your life takes 2-3 lives for others. I'm happy if you come to Germany then I'll be right there. All the best to you and your family. Greetings from Germany - Cologne* 👍👍🎖🎖🏅🏅🏆🏆

[@RayTheFarmer]

The Fantastic V. It is one of my primary passions to view drummers at work ... Simon's style is also from the aesthetic point of view my #1 among all that incredibly talented drummers.

[@Phlakaton88]

Alex has a flow and style sorta Holdsworth-ish - loving it.

[@toddzilla0913]

Spot on, very much so.

[@swiftusmaximus5651]

Sill is a Holdsworthian Disciple

[@jimbackmann7808]

First thought was it reminded me of Jean Luc

[@artderesh8174]

Funny I told Alex once he reminded me of Alan and he smiled YES I AGRESS Holdsworth flavor for sure, He's playing with Simon at the Baked Potato in March with Alphonso Johnson fantastic incredible go check it out

[@matthernandez777]

Simply, the way instrumental music should be. Plus everyone gets a solo 👍🏻

[@waynemiller6070]

Saw these guys last night at Jazz Alley in Seattle. Wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but it was in fact, these very musicians. I couldn’t of been more excited. Great show!!!!

[@neilcraig124]

Earnest's head movements and facial expressions always make me smile. And Simon is the best.

Wouarghhh !!!! It's killing me : because is so goooooood !!! Great !!! Phil from Dunkirk

[@jirikrajnak9047]

please come back to europe with this lineup.

[@СергейТраут-л8п]

Здорово! Если все номера на этом свежем студийном альбоме такие же вкусные и безупречно оригинальные (а у Филлипса давным-давно есть своё лицо, свой почерк, своё видение джаз-рока, и здесь он вернулся к своему началу), то альбом автоматически попадает в первую двадцатку лучших прог-рок-джаз-рок-фьюжн шедевров за последние 50 лет. Знаю, что бормочу ;-)

[@Просвет-у4в]

Не надо так категорично...На каждом ,,протоколе" есть и хиты, и проходные композиции...Так это устроено...Ну не могут музыканты создавать одни сильные вещи...

[@anthearedmond6047]

Absolute Heaven. I love this!

[@TheVetusMores]

How on earth I ever missed these guys until just now, truly evades me. Good Lord, this music is so _me._ These guys are like a cross between Return to Forever and Weather Report, with the rapid unison lines and (almost overly-) perfect melodies. I had a dear (departed) friend who never liked Weather Report, calling them "too tight," as in _uptight,_ not loose enough for his style. As much as I loved and respected him, the man was nevertheless a Philistine. Protocol V is amazing!

[@mikosoft]

A surprising amount of reverb and also a very straightfroward main rhythm, I was expecting Simon to go more crazy :D

[@ZFlyingVLover]

When most people are retiring this guy is shredding it on the drums. First time I heard him was on the judas priest album sin after sin. Not a bad song on that album and the drumming is stellar. Then on There and back with Jeff beck. He's played with so many people I don't think he even remembers who he's played with. And his playing on JP was showing metal drummers how it should be done. I think he was 20 yrs old when he played with them.

[@svenamundsen4879]
