[@TylerNotTiler]

That sax is unbelievable

[@Angute1]

[@mcspud]

Here 2024/01/25 and its rocking

[@Bassickfunk]

Seen them in Buffalo met trumpet 🎺 player solid dude.... wicked band ♥️ live as well as video

[@user-kl1vy3wo4k]

Got to see Lettuce at the caverns in Tennessee. After the show the bassist walked passed me and I stuck out my fist to fist bump him. I had a beer in that same hand and he thought I was handing him the beer. He took my empty beer can, thanked me, and never looked back.

[@ronaldhiggins6805]

Rashawn Ross, trumpet player for Dave Matthews Band, spoke very highly of these dudes! Thats why I'm going to see them tonight, in Port Chester NY at the Capital Theatre! Funk band, very DOPE

[@Bassickfunk]

Incredible 👌 live seen 👏 in Buffalo

[@matttate920]

This song got me over, and got me through. Blessings to the comments.

[@adamkow77]

Hi everyone i also found this accidentally and wow! Can’t stop listening to these marvellous musicians 💯

[@Jonesy1978]

Song is sick though.. Can't believe only 18 000 hits.. To much talent for people to comprehend

[@poopingwhilestanding5801]

ryan jones Like Martin, Medeski and Wood

[@GiovaneFugazza10]

180.000 now, we're getting there!

[@Bassickfunk]

Seen them in Buffalo...sat right behind the soundboard...incredible to say the least...recommend seeing them

[@standarsh6827]

Most talented band out there. Shredduce!

[@karlhungus8841]

It’s gotta be the hats

[@drumdad1242]

28 people don't like this. lol That's crazy to me. These guys are so damn good!

[@TheCharlotteGarza]

This is the only song I go to when I’m sad. I cannot help but shake that bad ass mood❤️

[@rasputiniglesias4447]

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS

[@batipapo]

Best jam ever. I can’t get enough of it

[@amirpf]

How can anyone dislike this?

[@wesleyshaw2394]

Randomly ran across this group about 2 years ago, their musicianship is incredible!

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Adam is a monster...damn. somewhere, someday this band will be highly sampled.

[@drummerman1954]

Adam is THE MAN!!!Thje drummer!!!!

[@MrLawrencecorn]

this is factual evidence in numbers that real music that is well crafted and thought out is overlooked by the masses and that all maistream music is just garbahhhhge with cheap melodies and marketing. bottom line u want good music u gotta look for it dont expect it to find u. lettuce is one of my favorites after binge listening to crush and fly in the same day after i heard this song was so into it LETTUCE4EVER!

[@isaacjohnson8752]

I know no one in any generation who will deny lettuce as the cream of the crop of jam groups. People who like Dave Brubeck and Oscar Peterson all the way to electronic dance music. The beautiful chords of the brass and the funk of the sax is great. Drummer, organist, guitarist, and bassist all know what I want to hear. I love there upbeat stuff a lot as well but to see the saxophone player mix hit own synthesizer on spot,is really impressive. I could swear I hear a pan flute but I think it's just modulated sax!

[@MrLawrencecorn]

true that, lettuce is definetly a natural progression for funk

[@MrLawrencecorn]

u mad bro

[@jimodom7489]

he mad

[@Baas-je]

Check this out: watch?v=sbsseEWDQkM Maybe not your genre, but great (non-mainstream) music nonetheless!

[@jazzymoni7750]

Dope. Idris Muhammad, Pharoah Sanders and Norman Connors would be so proud. 💗🙏🏽

[@bignoyz4111]

U r ever so right Jazzy ...They are using the "Recipe"

[@TheBEEFBOY]

[@Mrbumbons1]

[@gavinsalmon5145]

[@l3gendbaap963]

This is like the gangster version of Snarky Puppy

[@SteveCrozier]

Ambient jam band version of Snarky Puppy

[@usernamesolomon]

[@buckallen38]

Wow , just found these guys ....incredibly tight !

[@nicklewis2734]

Absolute epic. It has more funk than funk itself.. Awesome band..

[@dannybloom59]

This one hits hard.

[@steveps2]

[@RickJamesFranko]

[@Foukez]

I am just amazed , feeling such good vibes from this piece of art , the love is flowing from my heart , just love... If anyone listen to this and remenber another song that has thiskind of vibe please tell me. Peace.

[@darkclouds27]

@Moxon My favorite is Jekyll and Hyde live.

[@gambit7772]

Sound Tribe Sector 9 "Circus" especially, but a lot of their music in general. Also Lotus would be up your alley as well.

[@davidfloren5339]

Khruangbin does this for me.

[@keenan9440]

Yussef Dayes - love is the message live at abbey road is so good I only break it out for special occasions

[@kyleeinck5039]

This needs more views!

[@brianpatterson2851]

Saw these guys in the lil area of Swepsonville/Saxpahaw ... at the Haw River Ballroom. Was blown away! Great show and venue!

[@tommythetrain4288]

[@samrobinson1219]

[@doggylandgz]

very very soul goooooooooddddd!!!!!

[@raimundoalaniz4111]

Bless you music. Bless you.

[@pushyred]

Love Lettuce! (horn players deserve a little more screen time)

[@MrJedna]

Sublime !!!!

[@yvonnebarnes3967]

Where on earth have I been since 1992 when this awesome band formed?! Thank you so much to JazzFM being responsible for bringing them into my life. I just cannot stop listening and dancing. Music does NOT get any better than this, thank you. Check Ryan out - are you single? :o)

[@JayCord00]

I know its a cliché comment but , who can dislike this masterpiece ahaha

[@SteveCrozier]

I know this was a rhetorical question, but...I like it, but it's a bit "snoozy": not much going on. Sort of an ambient jam. Nothing wrong with that. But it doesn't excite me in any way

[@Canizarezqw]

This is freaking legit!!! props to lettuce

[@phyllissegura4297]

Very cool.

[@mountain9954]

So cool it's hott.

[@yvonnebarnes3967]

Another JazzFM introduction but they have been around since '92! True pro musicians, look at the enjoyment on each of their faces. I love all of them and I have got to see them, although seeing them this year looks highly unlikely. Sheer genius and long may you please continue Lettuce. PS Ryan are you single? :o)

[@rogertougas9898]

I am going to their concert at the Lowell Boarding House Park on Saturday (6.23/18).

[@matiasfranciscoponceramire1871]

SUPREME TASTE IN FUNK!!!!

[@johne.silverstacker7599]

I gotta see these guys LIVE!!

[@metalmaiden310]

John E. Silverstacker YES YOU DO!!! Don't ever miss an opportunity to see them! One of the greatest and most fun shows I have ever witnessed. :)

[@metalmaiden310]

They are touring right now actually! Hope you get to see em

[@rjm5059]

Thank you @lettucefunk and World Cafe

[@manderdander009]

Legit

[@justinmuncy217]

Tonight. On the lake. See yall there

[@saamiwallenius1880]

TIGHT AS FUCK JAM

[@mattclement4073]

3:18 that technique is so fucking sick

[@dublele]

what kind of FX the sax is using ? sounds great

[@thewellsfactor]

Notice how the band uses Sony MDR 7506 Headphones - People who know good studio cans will understand.

[@tworoads40]

These guys were great at Vertex...

[@dhunterwest]

Did the guitarist play with Robert Randolph & the Family Band for a while?

[@IIESPD00DII]

He certainly did.

[@shekafande1554]

Under-fucking-rated

[@joshsteely535]

Lettuce's 'Phyllis' has the same melody as Crumb's 'Locket'

[@TeamGlasshole]

all cylinders

[@jtollefson1973]

Awesome...but annoying that the cameras don’t focus on all the sax and trumpet FX work

[@jorsmith07]

Bassist's personal mantra: Every gurl crazy bout a sharp dressed man

[@josephwhitey]

What is the saxophone player's name?

[@rahuldobhal9037]

DOPAMINE ... ARISE !!

[@roybelcher5914]

one has to truely bring something to this to get something from it, id rather do this be this listen to this, then all the up in your face crap you dont need an emagination for.

[@vishallp007]

Heizenberg 🎺

[@Jonesy1978]

Can anyone tell me why there isn't a trombone player in this band? Don't get me wrong they're an amazing group just think a trombone would help full that last touch

[@crimjqt83]

ryan jones It all depends on the gig. Sometimes they do, sometimes they dont.

[@mrdfac]

Budget, most likely + availability.

[@milestonowhere]

sorry, but for me, you have skipped the best part of the original version which is the drum part in the middle of the song. could be stressed more... But overall great song and a great performance!

[@locorocohui]

amazing song, but imo the keys are a bit too low in the mix, lack of presence sadly. makes it sound like something is missing (compared to the album version)

[@HEEEERESxFREDDY]

Every single one of them is wearing a hat
