Many of the comments from those who claim to like "jazz" but find this music unapproachable or simply fraudulent , leave me thinking of a great analogy I heard some time ago. A music teacher asked a group of students if they enjoyed sports. Most said they had played and or watched some sporting events in their life. Next, the teacher asked them what their favorite and least favorite sports were. One student said their favorite sport was basketball because it was end to end and back and forth with LOTS of scoring. Their least favorite sport was soccer because there was little to no scoring much of the time. The teacher asked the student if they had ever played soccer. The student said they had not and really didn't know anything about the inner working of the sport. They did say they had played basketball and did know the strategies involved in the game. The teacher stopped the student right then and their and said....So you go to a soccer match and when you don't get a basketball game you are disappointed. You had unrealistic expectations. You didn't go in with an open mind and didn't really know anything about the game of soccer but you wanted it to be something it isn't. The teacher then quoted one of the greatest improvising musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries....Elvin Jones. Mr. Jones, when asked about modern cutting edge jazz and improvised music from someone who claimed they didn't like it because it wasn't bebop or post bop said...You have to take music on "it's" terms...NOT YOURS! Each musical performance is it's own unique world and has it's own guidelines....you should never compare one to another. Don't go in expecting anything. Go in with a blank slate and take it for what it is and the beauty of that one performance.

Thanks so much for posting - beautiful performance.

Wonderful allowing us to come along and experience such a wide plethora of audio oddities,performed by such fine dedicated musicians."Jazz is not dead it just smells funny" FZappa Sorey and the gang is definitely wafting tasty odoriferous stuff to the ears.

[@rpkrauss1]

Creative music at its best..... Does not need a name attached to it, stands as it is. Either you like it or you don't but do NOT criticize it..!

[@JoeyvanLeeuwen]

It's disappointing that people approach this music from such a closed-minded perspective. If you wanted to hear straight-ahead music, there are millions of other videos you could find without being so rude to a young man who has devoted his life to the craft. Tyshawn Sorey is a master who is in pursuance of new musical pinnacles. It's pretty cowardly to insult a musician who is taking risks and forging a new path toward our common goal.

He's a genius and even Coltrane's own band members didn't get his last albums. Most people don't understand something as deep as Sorey.

[@deoclicianookssipinvieira5858]

Tyshawn Sorey: drums, compositions Aaron Stewart: tenor saxophone Taylor Ho Bynum: cornet John Escreet: piano I think.

I enjoyed Tyshawn Sorey Quartet's performance of his work Acts. Because of the myriad of percussion instruments, Sorey was forced to "enter" and "exit" in different "scenes" of the "acts" which informed the spatial relationships of silences, while the other instrumentalists remained in stationary position. Max Roach told me that he had to reject the classical music technique at the Manhattan School of Music because when he performed with Charlie Parker the performance was always tight and had to apply a technique where the hands were closer to the instrument. Ironically, this is the opposite and the same at the same time and different times.

[@KingHobum]

i like this a lot but feel like they threw all their tricks into this one song? Tyshawn was looking like "okay, what haven't I played yet?" the whole time

[@cedardreamsLLC]

But if you saw the whole set, you likely wouldn't find the same ideas

[@drumz47]

????......

[@deoclicianookssipinvieira5858]

gosh It always baffle me how ignorants cam be this condescending. Always.

[@Adamboms]

I would have to agree; while still impressive, something like his might work as an introduction, or as a transitional piece, but even then it would have no business being 10 minutes

[@bobd6421]

DeJohnette Terje Rypdal and Miroslav Vitous did it for real in the 70's nice try though Ornette Coleman and those guys were playin it way back in the day. Nothin new but great concept. nice video

[@deoclicianookssipinvieira5858]

Stupid! They did what? Modern composition, "controled improvisation" predates all those names. Jazz is a way of making music, not a genre. For Rafael toral Jazz is a system of individual decision-making.

[@TehWinnerz]

I love jazz and all these musicians but this is bollocks. fun to play but little fun for most listeners

[@decimated550]

Somebody gave this guy student loans, and another student got no loans, so this guy could make this hack music? This is toilet paper, it might not even be music. I guess it is. i dunno.
