Troy Roberts Absolutely DESTROYING "The Groove Merchant"

[@devilshark6694]

The guy goes from a yts -21 to an effing old school Conn and doesn't realize it's got bad ergonomics and proceeds to kick major ass! A true legend!

[@BerniesBootlegs1]

nice title!

[@tariqamery4509]

Bernie is the GOAT

[@janismillers5344]

Had the pleasure of seeing Troy with Joey DeFrancesco a few years ago. One of the grooviest cats alive

[@nickpilgrim1966]

Just got to sit in on a workshop session with Troy. What a great player and a fine person. Thx for sharing. Just love his tone and laid back style.

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Thank you!

[@KenyonCarter]

Troy's a prince for sure! Thanks for checking out the transcription.

[@jacobnevillemusic5539]

The approach tones on those 16th note runs really put the bop on it

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Thank you!

[@KenyonCarter]

Flawless bop language for sure!

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

Great work transcribing this. Makes you wonder what they put in the water in Perth. Wow..

[@KenyonCarter]

Thanks Tony! Now that you mention it if I ever see bottled water from Perth, I'm buying cases of it!

[@SaxmanUSMC]

Absolutely killer! And DYNAMICS! Something that I just have not seen a lot of players use lately! Also, when I first saw this video I thought it was Joey DeFrancesco on the organ just from the shear brilliance of the backing. It is actually Emmet Cohen on organ just slaying it with both the comp and the bass line. Shout out to him as well. Amazing performance!

[@KenyonCarter]

No question! Emmett and the whole band sound amazing! Thanks for checking out the transcription.
