Nubya Garcia is a complete babe, playing that saxophone full of rhythm and grace. That drummer Moses Boyd playing in a trance. Theon Cross, what an incredible trio we have here. I couldn't stop dancing. I hope to see you live one day!

[@robgorney]

agree

[@sandydennylives1392]

@@robgorney Saw him live on Sat. PDG.

[@melihcankzmaz6041]

Could you see them live?

[@the_emmo]

Jonny Greenwood brought me here and I couldn't be more satisfied.

[@italorossid]

the beginning reminds me of jonny's parts on live versions of feral

[@the_emmo]

@@italorossid Definitely! With a more samba feel to it.

[@rowinggorilla9437]

This drummer is off the fucking scale... Genius.. Perfect utterly perfect

[@elywananda]

I was listening to this without visuals and had to check during the drum solo if there were two drummers. Absolutely 🔥🔥😊

[@piershorry4975]

Wish I was cool enough to be invited to gigs like this.

[@greatthenate9864]

Superstars!

[@francismansell8389]

I love the way this scene has restored cred to the much- (and often rightly) maligned drum solo! Give the drummer some!

[@timelessgrace6219]

Wow this is what music suppose to sound like I'm hooked 👁️👁️

[@ronshina4022]

3:25 tuba solo 5:17 drum solo 🥁

[@BernardVictor]

Fantastic drum solo

[@siubaan]

i've never seen such a simple set of drums, and this drumer plays amazing rhythm and sounds!

[@jamesmcdonald5848]

Sometimes less is more

[@alancaliz5322]

yes

[@samuelgailland2474]

With the Queen Nubya ❤

[@Mr.MBarrett]

Incredible!!

[@ianbeddowes5362]

This is now the ringtone on my phone. It will be the Take 5 of the future, the one everybody remembers.

[@Kozmiksmak]

Loads of fun, this....and very cool how Cross worked in that "Cent/Five Cent/Ten Cent/Dollar" quote from the "Dollar Wine" song....this is great stuff

[@МихаилМорозов-г9э]

Such a PLEASURE.

[@gudupallisaiprasad4034]

The way nubya Garcia was completely into the rhythm while theon cross playing tuba, so adorable! ❤️ And Moses Boyd the show stealer! Killing trio theon cross, nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd!

[@patam-patam]

Je ne me lasserai jamais de ce morceau ! Massiv !

[@keesandre9247]

We love spontaneous music, and it does not get much more spontaneous than this. Keep up the good work!

[@kooshikoo6442]

I'm blown away. My brain melted.

[@elijahmaier5975]

What an incredible band

[@kunaljoshi630]

This is madness. I think I'm in love.

[@mcorre16]

what a drummer!

[@MilesColtrane.]

Thank you Jonny for bringing me here.

[@hansjurgenklein2265]

That's Heavy Metal, indeed. But much funnier and more powerful and much more reflected. Love it. Full of spin and experienced intelligence. Great trio.

[@scottyoung7579]

Doesn't get any better than this..

[@karabelomafoyane9815]

Reminds of Fela Kuti's band

[@ferarias4001]

I am still fackin amazed by this piece

[@AleksVideoHole]

Just listened to Fyah in its entirety and I was amazed. Cross is a phenomenal player, and the tenor sax and drums are great as well!

[@Narikeljinjira]

Man I missssss the London scene.

[@ursula3438]

That's some of the best drumming I've ever heard.

[@charbander]

Too many goose bumps.....

[@adrianaiquipa9662]

Grandes músicos. Moses en la batería, Nubya en el saxo y Theon en la tuba hacen que uno no deje de moverse. Contagian algarabía.

[@ruariwilson9696]

top notch music - thank you

[@Sofarsounds]

We are glad you enjoyed!

[@kimsherlock888]

Stupendous stuff. What a trio of talent.

[@SamHutchinsonBass]

These three can come and play a gig at my house any time they want. My ceilings aren't as high though.

[@djowen5036]

[@wyndhl9465]

Superfluously beautiful! Has a slight calypso feel, rhythmically; don't you feel?

[@Kozmiksmak]

Cross quotes a popular soca (calypso) song called "Dollar Wine" [wine, as in gyrate]

[@koolv4086]
