[@drumology2001]

Taylor Eigsti proving once again why he's one of the best piano players in the game today! What an intro. And once the band comes in and it just cooks? Gah...there's nothing better! :D

[@BarnabyG]

The 10:35 time stamp was meant to be 9:35

[@fresamouse]

@@BarnabyG fixed. thanks:)

[@sheddingaway]

Claire de lune reference?? I dont hear it

[@gavinclark2786]

@@sheddingaway Yeah I'm not so sure about that one

[@dirtyketchup]

​@@gavinclark2786 I can kinda hear it, but it really could be similar scales. It doesn't sound like the claire de lune main theme, but more like that part around measure 66, but I think it is a stretch.

[@Jath2112]

Jesus....he is literally melting that ride cymbal... unbelievable all around. But as a drummer myself...that ride cymbal playing is utterly mystifying

[@richfrommitch]

any bit in particular. I'm a guitarist but would like to know which bits you mean.

I'm a keyboardist, and after that hearing that, I've got nothing to say but, wow! The dynamics and triplets and left hand is over-the-top crazy.

This the left hand power. Not many players have it

Bradley Cooper's a pretty good pianist !! Who would've guessed ??!

[@KermitHitler]

@aztekkthundergod lmao !! yeah seen it many times, great movie !!

[@jimmyfigueras4476]

Taylor eigsti, my favorite jazz pianist

[@Scriabin_fan]

4:01-4:17 So good. It's funny how it's literally just Gmin---> Bbmin and yet he adds so much tension to it and builds up until the rest of the quartet comes in. I also have to say I absolutely love how Kendrick sneaks in at 4:07.

[@MeatsAndGravy]

How does this not have millions of views?!

[@jussirautiainen3784]

Because its good ...

[@SOULJAMGO]

Can't help repeating to listen to the piano intro!!!

[@codroyave]

Shout out Charles Cornell, fantastic music!

[@egyptianminor]

Taylor Eigsti has some wicked chops. But no matter what, his playing is always extremely musical. Whole band killer, the tune is awesome, beautiful changes, great groove. I detect a Chris Potter influence in John Ellis playing. Good for him.

[@glennbartholomew3844]

Yeah,thats how i feel too..This guy is phenominal...Taylor walks a tightrope between cerebral abstract,and soulful contemporary...BADASS!!!

[@KermitHitler]

I so much want to find more of this concert online, this band is pure FIRE !!! Not heard anything really this good or exciting and fresh since Joshua Redman's quartet back in the day with Mehldau, Blade and McBride

[@ChaaShaq]

Kendrick you penned the heck out of this tune bro,it really resonates on a higher plane.

[@virtualstranger1299]

I love the expression on Taylor's face when he's soloing - precious. Oh man, what a quartet. I could listen for hours.

[@asldkfjdsla2938]

Performances like this will drive an cynic to devout belief in humanity, God or both. Absolutely amazing!

[@elijahjohnston-ligesha]

bro... 6:28.... o my friggin gosh its so good! and when the sax comes in its jus... AHHH!!! AND THAT SWITCH INTO THE RIDE BY THE DRUMMER WAS SO GOOD

[@ns81]

Wow he flipped that drum over in a hury!

[@Brian4hand]

@judsontbranam thats the power hat dawg

[@dirtyketchup]

Hold up. Are those snares on the top head?! I was a jazz drumming student and I never once witnessed that. Is that more common in the jazz community? It's super interesting.

[@dirtyketchup]

No, he definitely had that snare drum just completely upside for the opening intro (clear head on top), and made some super interesting sounds. Then flipped it back upright at some point during the song (coated head back on top). I'll have to rewatch again to see if I can find out how he managed to flip the drum over. Also, if you listen at 10:30, he's doing that awesome hi-hat bell groove with the rim knocks on the snare, and it all sounds pretty standard. Then at 10:36 you can hear a distinct change in the rim knocks. At first I thought he was flamming something with his right hand, but I figured out what he's doing and it is really cool. He changes the angle of his left stick so that it's dragging along the rim of the tom before hitting the snare rim, and he continues doing that until 11:28. Such a creative drummer with his sounds. It gives those rim knocks suck a more fat and pronounced groove. Ugh, I could listen to those sounds all day.

[@dirtyketchup]

Ok, so the snare flip-over must have happened off-camera at 5:35. Right after that you can hear the snare has a much throatier sound through the rest of the song. Such powerful creativity with something so simple. Getting so much more sound out of a single piece of equipment. I especially love how he drags his stick across the snare threads at 4:40 (and I think he does it somewhere closer to the intro as well at 4:07). I would have never thought to try that.
