Studio Jams #56 - "Cantaloupe Island"

[@JGPorcello]

Grant's playing just seems to flow effortlessly from a great reservoir of talent.

[@mikedegroff7766]

Everyone's playing is so effortless but at the same time super-locked. Inspiring.

[@paulkitas4659]

Mike DeGroff hhi

[@TruthTracks-ph5wx]

Grant knows the head; wish the sound man did. Stellar performance by Mr. Ruiz and Mr. Grossman, and that rhythm section was cooking with gas.... #HotJam

[@josephvotta6698]

Wow! These guys are great! What a performance! Everybody involved was great! Thank you! Great camera work, too! Thank you!

[@BlunderCity]

[@murphythept]

Very great musicians, each of them played with the best jazz and fusion stars.

[@gilg9088]

Incredible talents in one! Otmaro Ruiz, you are unbelievable jazz man artist!

[@TheBdd4]

Man! All I got to say is Man! What a fine bunch of jamming artists! Umphh! Umphh! Umphh! Thank you for letting us in on the production of a treasure. There is nothing like seeing close up the emotions of an artist as he / she is creating. That treasure is missing from a CD, DVD,tape, LP, the Greek Theater or the Hollywood Bowl. Thank you....

[@keithhelton3178]

It doesn't take a melon-head to enjoy being on Cantaloupe Island with these magical musicians...

[@elleondejuda4681]

[@Phazur]

talent and gift for sure, but lots of hard work for sure! Great music!

[@utube9000]

Not one - but TWO smokin guitar solos! I like it.

[@wpmmusic]

Awesome song to jam to. I did a ten minute improv version on piano. So much fun. It's a favorite at my school's jazz band.

[@brucelaudenberger8056]

Super jam by everyone!

[@juaco42]

Grant Geissman is unbelievable

[@gsman5828]

Talk about a talented group of guys! They all got "chops"! "General" Grant Geisman, as Chuck Mangione used to call him, is a special kind of guitar player!

[@ccarmagnola]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you and congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenyount3148]

[@WilliamSlaght]

I hear that piano player reference quite a lot of things xD especially near the end he referenced Lyle Mays in a Patheny tune. Err, which one was it, but I definitely recognized it xD

[@allen6924]

Everyone of these guys are the cream of L.A. session players. Grant Geissman has like the best instincts for lead playing. His mixture of guitar technique and beautiful ideas always gets to my musical heart.

[@gaspareegrimaldi4740]

All instruments have excellent voices “ drumers voices sounds so excellent “

[@jwh475ezc]

Bravo!

[@stuart.8273]

Grant Geissman played on Chuck Mangione's " Give It All You Got"

[@renaissongsmann8889]

The iconic solo on "Feels So Good", no less! He still hasn't lived it down, and probably doesn't want to, but we all should realize that's one song and he's played about a million by now ;)

[@donnytarbert6839]

Great piano playing here !

[@azarepal]

[@AroldoLuvisottoNeto]

[@PatrickHaeslerMusic]

Great tight sound. But not on the snare my god.

[@elseelin9666]

拳王泰森on bass

[@cjm4921]

joe jewel.......wtf

[@albarnes5713]

Better than butterscotch brandy.

[@nicolasrossi5978]

Excellent. But in my opinion snare a little too pronounced, good drumming, but too loud either needed to be muted with a cloth or amplified less/a mixing adjustment? Just my opinion. Otherwise great!

[@ASvanRandwijck]

I am so sorry but omething is missing... it is this 'feel' I miss...Timing
