This band should record together; i can't stop listening.
the drummer seeing those quarter notes coming at 2:25. boss interplay
I really don’t understand how drummers just be knOwing when things are coming... as a pianist i really give them all a thumbs up
@@micahweekes We dream for space.
he had a lot of those moments on the piano solo too
it's because every rhythm you play cuts down the list of good rhythms that might come next, and some rhythms cut it down to such a small number of possibilities that it's likely someone else hears the same thing coming, and plays it in unison with you. dabadabada - bah bah. you learn to take those chances a lot of the time and even if nobody hears and plays what you heard and played it's still gonna swing. if you do catch each other, then that's just a bonus
That guitar solo is incredible... really elegant phrasing
This was quite the musical constellation
John Chin is awesome!
its a jam session..!! typical choice boppin swing,,,late night at smalls n mezzrow..best in nyc...smalls cookin for over 20 years,like this.
Wow...nice groove. That's NYC...Thanks
wth, swingin’ so hard, wht a beautiful rhythm section.
I was at Smalls a couple of months ago during a visit to NY! Amazing place! Well worth the wait
Live Jazz....Love it...
Jason Brown swings so hard!
John Chin great outside-inside playing wow!!
d .byn yeah I want him to give a short theory seminar on this solo.
I enjoy his playing. I think the checkered shirt is either his favorite or the only shirt he owns.
Love Rubin's solo, and the way DiRubbo (who appears to be on alto) lands on the notes.
No idea how no one is talking about the sheer difference between John Chin's solo and everyone else's. Along Came Betty is a hard tune. I put it up there with Tones for Jones Bones. Everyone else is hanging onto the changes. But John is legit dancing all over them so elegantly. The phrasing, the creativity, the space, the motific structures.
Mike hangs on during his solo, and he's an amazing player. The guitar player hangs as well, and it sounds good too. Kinda like when most people play Giant Steps. However, time stops during John's solo. Like, the show enters a completely different zone.
What a treat!
In some context I remember that night. It was the start of the jam session. Maybe around 1 am. All of the musicians are fantastic players but Along Came Betty is a difficult tune. John Chin is a great pianist but don’t knock any of them. All of them are top call musicians all around the globe.

Sure thing. I'll edit my comment so it doesn't have any shade in it. Sorry to make that seem negative!
Polished group groovin' high!
using space and higher register like Jamal... diggin this pianist
Go Saul!!
beauty
Great job guys!!! Thanks for the ideas.
Really unexpected piano solo John Chin . Hu ok
8 years later, I can confirm. He turned the other players into his students that night.
Bravo !!!
hell yeah,,,
Nice visually - smooth - captures the atmosphere of the place. I guess you're on a tripod. Would have liked to have seen some other angles of the band - guitarist's face maybe! - but that's the trade-off.
its swinging!
the real NY
Woooooo
That's sure a funny-looking "tenor" sax!
steep changes as difficult as Coltrane changes . Highly evolved composition
Fantastic! Does anyone know what guitar Saul uses?
Peavey.
That's an alto sax Mike is playing...
This band sounds great from a normal persons view, but I could say a million different things wrong with this band and their playing
just a jam session lol
U must be abnormal!
Different, Yes!
Not a musical connoisseur?
Want to be critic! Yes/no?
Help me!
Help you!
One man’s garbage
Is another one’s treasure
You’re cool
Seriously? People still trying to sound like charlie parker?
Bird Lives
horbergus is that a bad thing?
Yeah it is! What is music without originality? I don't wanna hear people playing the same shit over and over again
horbergus as long as they are having fun. Such a wealth of music out there. Don't want to hear them, then don't hear them.
horbergus I don't think he sounds exactly like Bird although I can tell that he was heavily influenced by him and I don't think that's a problem. When you study the greats some of their harmonic tendencies and phrasing are gonna stick with you. I think this dude sounds pretty original
