Elena is a magnificent soloist. The other cats are all equally great, contributing to that rich sound. Drummer drives it, Christian highlights it, and the bass guy and guitar work together with the vibist. International feast!
This set has my favorite performance of Twin... I just love the double drum set with African drums. I 200% needed that extra percussion.
This guy blows my mind every time I hear him play...wow
Braxton Cook just does everything you expect him to do musically and more. Don’t sleep on that alto sax! What an incredible group of musicians...
Dude on bass ... killa!!!
ELENA PINDERHUGHES HAS SO MANY BARS.
she can blow me like that
a bit of respect, sir. please.

Last song is New Heroes
SUCH GOOD MIC TECHNIQUE CHRISTIAN SCOTT WHAT A PERFORMER WOW!
KKPD is on a whole nother level pfffffffff !!!!!! God bless y'all
Deep, progressive, passionate. Thoughts of Coltrane, Miles Davis rush into my memoirs with a flurry of the Laws
Honestly no disrespect for the band, they all sound great, but Elena Pinderhughes is on a whole different level. Looking forward to watching her career grow!
she really is incredible - the flute has never been an instrument I've particularly gravitated towards in jazz but she just makes me want to hear more and more and more.. absolutely gorgeous sound, and so young! very excited for what she has ahead of her.
I don't think she's better than Christian or Corey by any means. He's playing stuff that's on par with Gillespie and Morgan. I think she sticks out because flute is a less common virtuoso instrument. No disrespect to her though, she's a fantastic musician.
I second that.. on another level. so imaginative and soulful
She's still young, give her time to grow, Elena is in the right enviroment here.
I think a pretty face and jazz flute has you blind to everything else that is happening here. As Cody said this man is doing the Dizzy and Lee thing albeit with a layer of NOLA grease.
Elena is nice on Flute!!!!
En tant qu'ancien flûtiste je remercie ELENA PINDERHUGHES de si bien servir l'instrument! Fantastique personnalité!
Young lions and the lioness! Wonderful musicians every last one of them! Thank you so much for uploading this thrilling video! The future of jazz music is in capable hands with these young ones! \ ( ^ _ ^ ) /

That second tune called Twin is a fav of mine so far...
just love Elena on flute acting like a little shy but when she plays it's so great !!! love from France
Fantastic ensemble. Truly epic stuff right here. Feels like your channeling the spirit of Miles Davis. Who says there's no good music anymore. Good music is more alive then ever!
I'm also hearing Weather Report influences here too. Really great stuff!
Matthieu Dussaule sorry I don't speak to trolls
Ahh. okay. Gotcha. I sometimes feel like a troll magnet. Forgive me as well for the quick retort. Yes, .. Everyone is always getting nostalgic about the "good ol' days" while saying today's music is crap. It's not. It's as good as ever, people just need to broaden their horizons. That being said, this guy is truly an old soul. Amazing music. Cheers!
*you´re
You might like these guys - I feel they are educating a whole new generation about jazz. Quite a talented bunch - I don't play the games but I really enjoy their jazz (in many different styles) covers of VGM: czcams.com/video/Bp-mCvfhbJ8/video.html
wow KKPD now has an amazing Outro! Really like it!
+sosippus It's Ku Klux Police Department! Theres a video of him explaining the whole story of how it was composed at a Tiny Desk video here!
Check it out. It's worth it.
Thanks! I did, really enjoy that one with the new songs! :D
....Man these young people are just great, no doubt in my mind that they all have their own professional musician that they have heard and would like to be in the same class with. There is no one who do not have a hero, even heroes have heroes...Dizzy,Miles, Louis Armstrong, Stanley Turntine,Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Jimmy and Tommy, the Dorsey Bros,Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller,Fletcher Henderson,Sonny Greer, Cootie Williams, Dennis Chambers, Chris Dave, Tony Roaster Jr., Coleman Hawkins,Rex Stewart, Billy Cobblem, Buddy Rich, Buddy Miles,Johnny Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton, Stevie R. Vaughn ,Roy Orbinson, Merle Haggle, Roy Clark, all these musical heroes, had musical heroes of their own..So, if you hear someone sounding like or playing like someone you know , don't be so hard on them,Remember they have not yet find their own tonality? stay tune...
Fantástica Elena Pinderhuges, Amazing! Aire fresco sobre la flauta en Jazz ... Genial!
TWIN is so fuckin' strong!, I can feel what they feel...such an amazin' experience!
She is amazing on that flute! Go girl you make me want to spin around and dance to that intensity! I love jazz with African Latino vibes.
Mm, mm, mm...too damn good. Christian Scott is a superlative composer.
BRO that flute solo at 6:43 was downright INSANE
the most inspiring music these days!!
I love this ensemble!
The greatest living trumpeter!
Keep it alive! Love it!
Beautiful!!!
Brilliant use of two drummers....
Oh me Oh my...I am completely blown away. That outro for KKPD has me so lit right now... (yummmm)
All such beautiful souls!!!! much LOVE to ALL!

I LOVE U CHRISTIAN.

Beautiful, incredible talent, bringing tears
totally awesome !!!!
Amaaaazing amazing!!!
....cheers from Australia! Wonderful!
just stunning - thx for this music
i really can't believe the music is this good. I started listening to cs in middle school & i'm still impressed
36:35 If I close my eyes I feel like Miles is still around
True indeed!
Miles hasn't died yet :D
Old legends never die....
@@KingELon 36:55
Swinging’ it hard… Love it.
A very lovely show...
There's a lot of great playing here - and listening. I find the drummers really exciting. The whole thing is exciting. The band maintains a great overall sound throughout. I love the sound of the two drummers...reminds me of Elvin.
Interesting that the flutist is listed last by WBGO. Traditionally the wind soloists are *all* listed first - even if they are "only girls". I guest jazz culture hasn't changed that much. At least not at WBGO.
Love this!
Great music, very talented artists.
Aye y'all really killed this! Absolute fire
Whitley, she always takes time to be so thoughtful, thank you Ms. Quality Lady.
Stretch Music! Awesome!!
Y'all sleeping on the pianist, he's insane!
The Rachmanioff YESS, that's what I'm thinking!!!
The Rachmanioff ost cats always sleep on the pianists
Lawrence fields
He raw, but he can't see Elena's brother though.
@@SmashinAdams i stan samora lol!!!
10:04 "TWIN" ... This song is fucking incredible. Sold out in Madrid (Spain). Next time i ll be faster.

God I love this guy
My, a quite soulful performance.
Great music 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
was... was that a drum solo played by two drummers? around the 15 minute mark? blown away!!!
If you haven't heard it yet, listen to the Tony Allen and Ginger Baker drum tune off the Fela Kuti and Ginger Baker record.
FIRE!!!!!!
6:43 flute solo (Sunrise in Beijing)

Love song
Elena, so beautiful!
I mean, god yes. Give me this.
incredible
wonderful
Man at the end of KKPD the camera was shaking. Wow!
Yo lmao the dude on the vibes is so jacked
The end of K.K.P.D. made me cry - in a good, hopeful way.
Elena ❤️❤️ you smash up from min 10:00 to 15:00.. no one there, on all concert! Wow what a discovery!
ollak she wouldn’t hold that place without Those around her.
Soaking wet beautiful. Thanks -don't stop.
TOP !!!
Love that groove 26:30 - 28:12 with the 2 snares
elena !!!!!
Every performance of KKPD reminds me of my own experience as a brown man treated unfairly by white cops in Iowa. And in the expressions put forth by Christian Scott's group.... It is very powerful.
Warren!!!
deep love
Hey he actually. Went to my school I cross my heart and I hope to die I swear he did I was really good so good so loud love him
Did you just press predictive text over and over
They should have just attached the mic to his trumpet bell instead of having a standing mic. The sound fades out whenever he moves around.
+Howard Mao he does that intentionally.
the 414 wouldn't be my choice for a trumpet mic live. Great mic in the studio, but not here.
+Clark Gayton w you on that one
+Howard Mao He certainly could have had an attached mic but, he probably wanted more control for himself over the manipulation of the sound; instead of depending on a sound guy who wouldn't understand or be able to keep up with what he wanted, where he wanted it, when he wanted it!...CONTROL!!!!!!! LOL
+Howard Mao Miles Davis effect ;)
Beautifully crafted solos. Is that something they learn at Berklee or does it come naturally? Augmentation, development, inversion, transforms and rhythmic placement. What an amazing band!
both ways
DAAAMN!!!!
what is the snare drums of the "african" drum kit ? Corey plays it too in tiny desk session. Sort of djembe but seems to have strainer too...
seems a remo mondo ?
Elena is a beast floutist and the most beautiful creature that God has ever put on one lol... I'm a trumpeter in S.C. God bless this band. Y'all are awesome.
that's part of the art...
That FLUTE, though !!!
Fire
Nice flute!
That shirt goes so hard
How the hell does he come across so many great bass players and drummers? I've watched quite a few sessions, and there seems to always be a different rhythm section. Unless, of course, they are elevated by great front people...oh, I take that back. Corey's been with him before...and, he's a beast!
I really liked the second song. Nice latin overtones.
Kenneth Segovia Its called Twin
Kenneth Segovia “Latin” is a language not a sound. African took all the sounds within Them while Enslaved to the so called “latin”. Misnomers
@@Evo4Justice well tell it to Scott who has mentioned in several presentations that one of his influences is Latin American music
An album as a phone app? ........ that's fucking genius
......Top
Could someone post the tracks? I really dig the flutist and the piano player, well the whole band is great but those two have the best solos.
The last number is spendid. It just lacks an alto solo (I like Braxton Cook).
Can anyone tell me what she did at 8:54 it sounded amazing
Could be she's grace noting an E (3rd register) to an F ( 3rd register)
About the only innovative thing thro' the entire solo
I think the name of the flutist woman is Elena Pinderhughes. Who, by the way, you forgot to mention in the credits @WBGO. Shame on you.
50 cent is a good percussionist, he did a great performance here.
Did anybody else catch that at 18:46 I wonder what Christian is saying to the bandmates? looks like he was concerned about something?
Could someone post the setlist?
