[@lalo_wav]

Yussef on drums, Malik on the sax, Elijah on the keys, Rocco on the bass and Alexander on the percussion; thats a huge monster alignment 🙏🏼

[@chriskohh]

mf stay sleep on Malik, dude is a really talented producer, in addition to the sax

[@AbethuNdzabukelwako]

Too much talent and greatness in one room

[@MrGotti25]

Absolute killer set! Big ups to whoever sought into fruition.

[@Archieconan]

Someone commented ‘taking jazz into the future’… but this ‘gift’ is happening now… so thanks for jazz of the ‘present’ thanks for the ‘present’!

[@michaelBodhiBhakti]

Correct. The reality is there is no way to identify the true expression of a heart or hearts through music or sound, it's just that. True expression of heart and love. It is Yussef Dayes type of music.

[@FatBoxMedia]

This is an amazing comment

[@thirdeyes9993]

Love their music but they just recreated the sound of 70s. If you are interested the sound of future jazz. Try some nu jazz.

[@aldiwan1591]

@@thirdeyes9993yeah ! Damn right thirdeyes, it reminds me the sound of few acid jazz tracks of the 90’s as well. It’s a kind of a past future 😜

[@alv_dh]

No more questions about this! You said it right bro!! The other day a friend told me "they make no more good music nowadays" y replied: you mean massive industry... but there's great music happening nowadays! Just think Yussef's album was released in 2023❤ love to people reading this. You have a great taste of music guys!🎉

[@fabriziopizzanelli7035]

I can't believe people say there's no good music anymore.

[@alanxalves]

They just dont know how to find.

[@Ipoop7colors]

I've sad the same thing. It's just that you would not hear good music on mainstream radio and that represents the biggest audience. What is weird to me is that Jazz was once mainstream. But yes there is so much good music today.

[@muchachito9819]

This is mainly 'commercial' music, i.e. music intended for the mass market, the quality of which has declined considerably over the years. Fortunately internet made the access to "smaller" artists way easier!

[@theTrend7]

It's always been wild to me when people say that. Good music has ALWAYS been around. This is proof!

[@paulmumford3397]

yeah, like Rick Beato. There a million good bands and artists around

[@thebrysmith3]

For those of you who aren’t aware, that is Pino Palladino’s son laying down that sweet low end smoothness. And if you don’t know who That is, well enjoy your deep dive.

[@errateksines9103]

I already knew Rocco from his work with Yussef, but did not know of his father so thanks for that! Will check him out! 😁

[@Taragron]

Well, thanks :) love to find new music

[@polcat79]

I'm taking that dive right now. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated. Love.

[@mismo358]

Pino is the goat. He just recently been featured with a famous guitarist on tiny desk and bought the vinyl. His work with D angelo was goat for me

[@thebrysmith3]

@@mismo358 For me, it’s got to be his work with Paul Young back in the 80’s. His playing on Paul’s cover of Anne Peeble’s “I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” is so so good. It could also be why D’Angelo wanted him for that session.

This recording is helping me get through a very hard time in my life. Showing me there is still beauty in this world and giving me hope.

[@louiesimon5292]

I've been drumming professionally most of my life (I'm 63) and Yussef Dayes inspires me like no other recent drummer. I love how he's tuned his side toms here. And that beat on the second track is mind-blowing. His groove and technique are just amazing. This is lovely, groovy, funky music. Music at its best, really. Enjoy. Thank you KEXP, especially your incredible engineers.

[@timevaporwave]

He's fantastic. Excellent fundamentals while being right in the pocket.

[@meredithheath5272]

I know nothing about drums, let alone music - but that drummer, Yussef, seems to become more and more "clean" - by the minute! (Yes, I am aware of him - he's played with many people, including Tom Misch.) Genius band members - ALL!!

[@LEAHBENYOSSEF-lh1ex]

Me too man

[@Dickelul]

Like U just commented: the 2nd song reminded me of Dubb-step, an 'electronical studio-beat', love to hear the Jazz version live.😂😂😂 And I must agree; absoluty wel played, all of them, for that matter.🥰

[@raymaynard4364]

This was world 🌍 class interview 🙏😁

[@TodaysRemedy]

Feel happy to be alive with such wonderful musician. DON'T miss his live when he is playing near you.

[@metaldetectorists76]

Why does KEXP (like BBC Six Music ) work on so many different multiple levels? Because there is such a wide variety of talented musicians that they introduce us humble listeners to. So many artists we would never have discovered on most mainstream musical channels. Here is another case in point: a talented group of musicians performing truly beautiful and chilled sounds. Love it...

[@chrisgundersen1117]

I listen to KRCL out of Salt Lake City. It’s non-commercial radio with a lot of fantastic people behind it. Same thing for lots of independent radio stations. !! Support your local independent radio station :-)

Don’t forget about the light designer!!!

[@dino_not_dyno]

[@royowich]

They are all fantastic musicians but man Rocco is going for new heights. Drums and bass are complement each other perfectly, gj on the sound engineering!

[@deromil4298]

godDAMN elijahs synth on turquoise galaxy!! such a banger

[@braxtonwise9897]

The part where he has it sound like an electric guitar in turquoise is mindblowing

[@YaBoiMike_]

Elijah uses delay so tastefully. Specific key runs that harmonize over time and fill the space perfectly.

[@meredithheath5272]

Indeed - I love how he uses download programs, if he's using them on his keyboard, very interestingly. He changes the timbres according to what the band wants to convey. ❤

[@beanstalk7893]

delay is fascist no matter how you use it sory bud

[@paulussturm6572]

@@beanstalk7893EXCUSE ME

[@HenryGriggs95]

I met Yussef at a small clinic he put on, it was great, he made every single person in the room play drums. He was also very humble and down-to-earth. Afterwards he spent time talking to pretty much everyone individually.

[@stevenhadley3501]

It's pretty much a given for guys like these to have a beautiful rapport with the fans. When I used to do gigs it immediately became apparent to have a massive devotion and level of selflessness

[@patricky101]

It's not about fame ego sex and money these guys are about making music. Yuseff IS A ROLE MODEL which guess what he would immediately deny.
