Yamaha Sessions | Jamiroquai´s Derrick McKenzie, Matt Johnson and Paul Turner

[@NielsKoldewey]

How genuine that the drummer confesses he still takes classes. What an authentic musician, no show-off!!

[@ShawnThuris]

It's good to see. Neil Peart started taking lessons even though people had been calling him the world's best drummer for years. Many famous opera singers take lessons long into their careers.

[@wellteazm]

That's Derrick! He IS one of the nicest and humble human beings around. I've met him several times and actually he got me into the backstage Areas to meet the Maestro himself, Jason. I love this Band to bits. But to be honest, the old stuff is really my time and joy of them, that Acid Jazz Funk Pop was just the shit for me! I hope their next Album will be more of that style, I reaally hope so. #Jamiroquai4Ever ❤🍀🙏🏼☀👏🏼

[@drew-shourd]

agreed. They say drummers are more intelligent than most and they say that left-handed people are more intelligent than most, so D-Man is WAY SMART...hahahaha

[@ericgelders]

Life-long learning keeps you fresh and young at heart - curiousity is what should drive you 😀! Respect for these musicians, love the groove!

[@ericgelders]

@@drew-shourd Being a left-hander, I suddenly felt slightly more intelligent 😄😉!

[@GregThomas_official_yt_channel]

Matt Johnson is one hell of a pianist !

[@luigi.zanini]

and the drummer too...

[@douglasbatley]

Over the last 40 years I have seen one or two gigs . I have only seen two other Keyboard players who could match Matt pound for pound Stevie Wonder (Isle of Wight) and Gill Scott Heron (Sheffield leadmill) . The guy really is next level..Definitely my favourite working musician .

[@ohdearism]

And synthist!

[@idogillan]

Derrick always amazes me. His ability to build a groove that is so gentle, is fenomenal.

[@dr.faustus4144]

This is exactly the type of sound Jamiroquai needs to get back to! Otherwise I'd love an album with instrumentals like these from these three guys! Good music needs to be spontaneous and heartfelt, and this goes lost if it's overdone when you work on the same songs for months and months... And that's I guess why I really liked these three songs!

[@mogglie]

Why did they walk away from this jam-sound…. It’s crazy. That had it all.

[@prodbydrdxo]

​@@mogglie im pretty sure jay kay liked disco and electronic music more than this type of music, and jamiroquai is "jay's band". Otherwise, many other bands have this sound, you only have to search. I reccomend searching on acid jazz records catalogue

[@joecolon3381]

Sade Adu put out some great songs and her band- Sweetback turned around and put out some great music of their own that vibes similarly.

[@davesowden4907]

This just show why I love you guys so much. You’re THE sound of Jamiroquai. No mistake!

[@bjornfalli2736]

Great ! Old school Jamiroquai style. Timeless music.

[@davidnaef1]

they play as if they were actually only one person. its really that damn good.

[@jameslewis8227]

That was fantastic, as if a Jamiroquai and Herbie Hancock/Headhunters concert we’re melded together…

[@vburd62]

derrick's riff starting at 14:58 is out of this world...simply amazing craftsmanship.

[@funmioh]

I can watch this a billion times and still feel the same level of excitement.

[@TheSupraturbo]

Derrik McKenzie its amazing.

[@smetly]

Derrick McKenzie is a drummers drummer, besides J the one constant in what makes Jamiroquai what it is. I never get tired of hearing him play.

[@lucasvrijdag]

Great performance. Absolutely lovely to hear the original Jamiroquai sound.

[@filalifeels2887]

Matt Johnson est un génie,j'ai toujours adoré ces différentes compositions et arrangements cet homme est plein d'humilité et de classe!!!!c'est toujours un immense plaisir de le voir jouer,un vrai musicien à l'ancienne. MERCI BEAUCOUP!!!!!MR JOHNSON pour votre talent.

[@mariesalas9627]

This is what is called musicality. It's beautiful music.

[@freshprincejd1151]

The first tune's chord progression has been constantly playing in my head ever since this video came out sheesh...

[@jonahhill8731]

Yeah..class in a glass...this is crystal and as smooth as the velvety chocolate can be to this palettes taste. Beautifully played Beautifully arranged Beautifully given Beautiful sound Beautiful all around Beautiful how this got driven. Thank you guys for sharing it . Quite a divine piece xx

[@lucasgabrielvilasboas8436]

Why did it took me over two years and a pandemic time to find this?????

[@juantromba]

16:18 I can't stop watching Derrick making that "slow-mo" pause.

[@paulmorton3259]

I’m a keys player and a composer. I’ve always drawn influence from this band since I first discovered them 25 years ago. Just love what they do. Solid musicians.

[@DonaldWaughmusic]

I love the way Matt Johnson plays.... wow!

[@nessav7258]

All talented musicians, beautiful music. Good to see Paul smile, usually he has that very focused look.

[@marklloyd906]

This is so mellow. Perfect. Matt Johnson really is a proper virtuoso. Watch him play 2nd half on the Jamiroquai Montreux video of Soul Education. Blows me away.

[@trejogregorio]

Wow top musicians here!

[@dsjno2]

I have to say it - this is my favourite band and has been for many many years. These guys are tight!

[@OlegSidorenko1974]

Ah what a treat! Like an extended extended version of Blow Your Mind!

[@Frugalisme]

Feeling like listening tunes of Jamiroquai from the 3 first albums...

[@Phil_529]

If I like it, I do it!

[@leoportela9868]

It's beautiful to make a click having the chance to listen to these professional talented musicians in such a healing sound session. Thanks to you masters!

[@Restfactor]

Fantastic jazz fusion! It's Incredible! 🕊️🌍

[@Tape_Echo_Player]

It’s hard to give this justice in a KZbin comment. Sounds sooo good. I love it.

[@aplleyva]

The Backbone of Jamiroquai. Nice they have a platform to expand their collective musical prowess. Q & A - Love hearing Paul playing "Fast Persuader"

[@chandrikadas9163]

This is so magical.. makes me feel like I'm in paradise somewhere far away from here, a beautiful , heavenly place, where there is nothing but good vibes...wish I could always be there.. earth.. can be so painful but thankfully music transports me🎉

[@DeliRevv]

I’m right there with you.

[@SlickZaBRA]

First track became Venus Rising on Matt Johnson's most recent album 💙

[@Pericles777]

Man the chord changes are so good😲😲😲😲

[@danb1618]

That acid-jazz Jamiroquai sound 😊Brilliant musicians. Fantastic cohesion

[@philbennett806]

I could listen to Derrick’s grooves on loop! So good!!

[@DeliRevv]

I could listen to this all night and day. What incredible musicians and what a beautiful sound they create!

[@RYXPfan]

JAMiroquai. The jazziest jam band you could still actually hear on the radio. So looking forward to future music!

[@SheridadeRandamie]

So good!! This is the best of best!!

[@KenKlaver]

So much talent in this video! And let’s not forget the recording engineers - they did a tremendous job achieving such good quality 🎉

[@kevintaylor6522]

Love this band couldn't stop playing 1st album love and respect.

[@fredmorristravels]

Man!!! I can listen to you guys groove all day. Super chill, good vibes, great music.

[@cazmataz6579]

Hmmm, this is the Jamiroquai i fell in love with and has been one of the main influences in my love of music. This is just great...and i will say no more❤

[@richmondpp]

Bit late to this, but wow. Like stepping back in time to Azymuth and Pieces Of a Dream. I like it a lot

[@rekhagusain9916]

3 finest musicians

[@VladislavHristov-wm6xy]

Pure beauty!

[@thecatboss123]

I wish this was an actual single release. Thanks for making this great session happen!

[@chrisbutler4056]

Just beautiful. Got Matts latest album in vinyl and it is an absolute delight. Follow all his synth vids etc. Just an amazing player, humble too and happy to share knowledge.

[@Rhythmicons]

This is butter smooth.

[@silviacassataro9453]

Che meraviglia!!! Credo che l 'ascolterò più e più ancora volte!!!

[@cabuggiani]

paul tuner es una fuerza inamovible, que bajista tan bueno, un sonido organico, con medios potentes y graves redondos, ese sonido a pura madera en el bajo

[@lilianaluque4523]

Master Mckenzie!

[@Sonic-sh2vh]

Derrick McKenzie, the last man standing. ( well sitting)

[@wyattoutlaw2370]

Sonic 7 Wish Zender would get back with Derrick and Jay. They went downhill as soon as Zender left imo.

[@Sonic-sh2vh]

@@wyattoutlaw2370 It could really never be the same. that magic will never be repeated. Toby was a big part of it too. Loved Stewart Zender, but he really hasn't done much since.

[@Sonic-sh2vh]

Fuji Wags , yeah Jamiroquai is definitely a completely different band now, and as much as I miss the old lineup, Paul Turner and Steve Harris are no slouches. Hey , check out their side project, Trioniq . Pretty good stuff.

[@NotCharAznable]

Zender turned into an absolute weirdo. Or maybe he always was and we didn’t know? Anyway, Jamiroquai has always been experimental. Saying only one person contributed to the sound is ignorant. Paul is easily the best bassist from a technical standpoint.

[@michaelb4504]

Fantastique Session from this fabulous Trio. Jamiroquai for ever !!!

[@marcusdekker]

TG for real people, real musicians, real feel, real groove, real funk, live improvisation, live fuck ups, the nitty and the gritty that makes it all worth while.

[@MikeVincentVO]

This has got to be one of the tastiest videos I’ve seen in a while. I just had an ear-gasm!

[@amandaphillips6015]

The first song sounds like music in a good dream. It reminds me of a lovely dream i had once of my late best friend and the late Andy (a rabbit) and my husband. we were all together and my best friend lived in this lovely house with an unusual city view. This music fits with it.

[@iana3257]

It’s on Matt’s newest album, it’s called Venus Rising, on Spotify as well

[@Tecnoiroquai]

So much groove! love it! thanks!

[@johnblumstein]

Brilliant musicians - all of them!

[@AhsanNadzief]

love the japanese jazz/city pop vibes, wonderful performance.. :D

[@theelephant2887]

Always nice to see more left-handed drummers

[@phyllismiller4893]

Amazing musicians.. I'm so privelidege to know awesome musicians in my life, and so great to hear this.

[@YamahaDrumsEurope]

Thanks for listening

[@JulioZuniga-ib2fx]

Relax 😌

[@orrameuestudios8500]

Amazing session!

[@NothingWasEasyTilNow]

So great to see these performed live, now that Matt's solo record is out. Highly recommend.

[@75biglew]

Damn, how I love good music...

[@JoseAngelFilms]

So much talent in one room!!! Always do what you love and love what you do........

[@11122004lucas]

Im going to Paradiso 😍

[@Andronicus2007]

Beautiful playing, tight band

[@carlosalbertocristanchoriv4519]

Simply beautiful, I love it

[@fredko7086]

I miss Stu Zender (and that era of the band,1st and 2d albums) so much...but this session comforts me, they are still up to play something else than simple basic pop stuff.

[@RadicalValkyrie]

Gorgeous

[@michaelb4504]

Tout simplement Excellent !!!

[@matwashington2784]

Those ghost notes are sublime

[@kman5802]

The production is beautiful, what a joy to hear these guys jamming like that!! Steve gadd drum sound all day long!! 🤟

[@alobosk]

The drums sound so exquisite!!!!

[@victormiguel8731]

Simple y sencillamente BRUTAL.

[@dylannelson501]

Gosh this was so good thank you for doing this Yamaha

[@alichamas63]

Notice the communication, everyone is always watching each other for cues. That's what you get after years of playing like a pro and together night after night.

[@TimWatsonDrums]

Wow cool groove, i dig the detuned dissonance.

[@raymondmorton]

Great stuff. I'm jamming along.

[@evo937]

Superb musicians !!! Thank you for the music !!!

[@nah8832]

Oh boy, never thought I would hear Matt's Zoom played live (on 20:55)

[@wagnermagalhaes294]

Soul jamiroquai

[@WestShoreMan]

Excellent

[@lundsweden]

Great in-the-pocket playing.

[@kenokeno00]

....................like sailing into a sunset that never ends.............great feel and grove....................!!

[@KONAMAN100]

Very different massively chilled

[@budgetpack]

Three great musicians with their feet still firmly on the ground.

[@VarionJimmy]

3:47 - 3:48 : Magic! Of course it’s the chord that dictates where the song goes here, but it’s so brilliant where Matt let’s the solo go “outside” that and surprise us. I forget the chords and only hear the solo until the chord at about 3:47. I love this! And I really like drummers that appreciate their hihat! Another good sign is bassplayers that use another ”type” of bass than the one you thought were the “right” for the style. I would have give a lot to see this live. In that room, In a nice cosy chair! (Perhaps you need to start listing a bit before that timestamps, but who doesn’t anyway. :) ) (By the way, If you find my grammar a bit crazy: I’m still learning.)

[@camilomateus]

Que buena mezcla, se escucha todo parejo, siempre tienden a subir mucho la batería. Esto suena a música real

[@demi2641]

Incredible.

[@Richardhaitz]

Wow that is killer

[@OlemirCandido]

Perfect. Congrats.

[@edwardpetersii6276]

There is something eclectically incredible listening to these 3 guys playing together - mesmerising!
