I actually used to think that the basement was Radioheads own personal basement
It belongs to Nigel Godrich, their producer.
No my friend
I just learned that it wasn't today.
There’s multiple “basements”. Radiohead used Two different studios for theirs. These new ones are at Nigel’s private studio
well is from Nigel Godrich, so you were partially right lol
Mad props to the bottom end, carrying bass lines with breath is a herculean challenge.
U should seriously consider making ALL these sessions into LP's... please, I beg having this and the rest as albums
I agree 100%!
1000% I would literally break my bank account for this
Agreed, in particular as lots of the FTB versions are even better than the original album versions. Sound quality is absolutely great and one can hear the intimate atmosphere of the FTB recording sessions. This is how music should be! Would love to have records available of all recordings.
Agreed!
Ok
Holy shit those lungs of Theon. Just two days ago I saw them in Hamburg and at one point he soloed. And no shit, the sounds he could produce with a tuba were just insane. From playing multiple notes simultaneously to making it sound like a tuba. I had no idea a tuba could even make those sounds. And he just keeeeeeept going and going, I guess it ended up being around 10 minutes of him playing solo non-stop. Just insane.
He did the same thing in Chicago it was fucking amazing. he soloed for like 20 minutes straight but every second was amazing. I have a video on my channel if anyone wants to see
Holy shit he made the tuba sound like a tuba!?
I play tuba and let me tell you... what he does is actually inhumane
i actually ended up shouting "holy shit!" at one point in that solo section when i saw them. i feel privileged to have seen sons of kemet before they broke up.
Before the upright bass - the Tuba was the main bass instrument in Jazz bands. Love to see it in a contemporary setting!
It's because unlike the upright it doesn't need amplification and it's easier to carry
@@bacicinvatteneacaeasy to carry 😂
It's only CZcams comments that I learn little golden nuggets like this! 👍🏿
@@mushroomjesus2068 LOL easy to carry
Yeah we need to go back to tuba
So, Radiohead is my fave band. Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood formed a side project called The Smile (which I’m sure most of you know) and they recruited an incredibly complex drummer, who is Tom Skinner, of SOK, and now I’m in LOVE!!!
That was my exact pathway👍🏼
will you marry me
Just saw the smile tonight. Doing some exploring now.
Those drummers are such a unique and complimentary pair
This is not my kind of music at all, but this is amazing. The rhythms are infectious, the melodies interesting, the musicianship is both natural and breathtaking. I will be watching this again and again.
Sounds like it /is/ your kinda music
It absolutely is your kind of music. Check out Theon Cross or Comet Is Coming
Try Hermeto Pascoal
Seeing them live was electrifying. They definitely took a jazz concert to a different level of excitement.
same. this was an unexpected tasty treat.
Shabaka Hutchins (tenor) is usually considered the star of this band, and he's great - but it absolutely depends upon Theon Cross, grunting away on the Big Horn.
What a monster! What a pair of lungs!
Decades ago, I saw Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy, and he made this introduction: "And now, the man with the Lips Of Steel, playin' that tuba all night long - BOB STEWART!"
That's Theon, too. The whole band's sound reminds me a bit of a slimmed-down version of Henry Threadgill's Very Very Circus.
You just brought back such great memories. I've heard Bowie's Brass Fantasy many times, they were always simply great!
Once I asked Lester, why he always had that white coat on on stage. His explanation: I'm a scientist, I do research.
2:35 was such a sick progression of a percussive sax. Almost like gospel chops on brass
The drumming at the end of "In Remembrance Of Those Fallen" - just wow - even Shabaka grins big about it!
Tom's drumming and tone leaves me near-speechless. It's like drinking the purest, most refreshing water possible and just the right amount.
Olympian musicians. Just perfect execution combined with a pace and energy I've not seen. The sax player is reminiscent of Gato, Kirk, Pharoah, guys who played brilliantly and with incredible force that in turn produces extended range. Fire.
I just wish this was two hours long. Simply amazing production for a simply amazing band.
Seconded
I always expecct two drummers to be chaos.. these two play together perfectly. These musicians are playing something very new that pulls influences from all the the great bebop, hard bop and Avante jazz of the 50's 60's and 70's .
Actually there are some other artists who have 2 drummers and it sounds great
To my ears, this stuff pulls a lot more from Afrobeat and other dance music than anything bop-related
and actually very heavily influenced by many African rhythms, which make immediate sense if you listen to nigerian-brazillian-latin-american black music.
@@ericfricke4512 exactly
@viniciuscomacento the beginning reminds me of a new orleans/2nd line rhythm
Woohoo. Makes me wanna do space dope with aliens!
One of the best uses of 2 drum kits at once I've seen
Hello The Smile fans
👋🏼
So delighted to have found these guys backwards through The Smile (and a little too late now that they're disbanding). They're truly incredible!
@10:00 _"Anyone got a light?"_ ...for attracting attention? 😄
Came for Shabaka but Mr. Cross... mind blown.
Seeing them Last week at the Newport Jazz Fest was a dream come true.
The yin and yang of the drummers foremost god bless, but the horns put this over the top.
my expectation cant be higher
The things you find while you are confined with covid. This is simple wonderful, the sons of ancient Egypt, I love it. Greetings fron México
It's a shame this is coming to an end... but all these gents are a force on their own. Can't wait to see what they each come up with next!
Soooo glad I had a chance to see them live before they disbanded. Wow. Sons of Kemet are legendary!! I hope they come back in the future!
Saw them live last year in Paris. They literally took us to another dimension. I didnnt know where i was anymore...
They're listening....they're playing....listening...playing...
Dang!!
I mean, it's just exceptional right from the first few seconds. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
agreed, my mind was already completely blown after only being a minute into the video
this is soooo good, thank you
Wow! Exactly the kind of thing people could use right now…. Such a simple acoustic setup, and so inspired, complex and creative
Wowzers... I just had the best Monday morning in ages. Absolutely fantastic!
Saw this guys live in Boston back in 2018. Will never forget that concert. They were absolutely killing it then and they still are now!
Honestly gutted to see these guys split. Amazing performers and incredible sounds every single time I listen to them. I hope they keep the project alive while their embark on something new, which is hopefully even more magical!
This deserves millions of views
Millions!!
So so good!
Somewhere in the universe, Ornette Coleman is smiling...💙
Amazing job guys!
Awesome recording! Their live show blew my mind, so glad I can experience that feeling again here
I can't take my eyes or ears off of this. Enchanting.
this was exhilarating to watch! I haven’t felt this excited about music in a while
had the utmost pleasure of seeing y’all live in San Francisco in April and my goodness…is it nice to get another taste of magical journey of your transmutations. 👁🖤👁
So glad I experienced this magic live back in April.
incredible
Great sound. Innovation and incredible groove tension.
beautiful heartrending music...
This is phenomenal.
Superb!!
Incredible!
Awesome!
Amazing!
WAAAAAAAAH. Love it
Salute fellas, this was a dope set!!
great stuff ! i saw shabaka same nite as pharoah sanders at le poisson rouge about 6 yrs ago.
Pure musicianship
awesome!
beautiful
Wow this is incredible
Saw them in London, Paris and Florence. Always experienced a different eclectic trip around jazz music.
this is perfect
What a FFFFFFFFantastic Band!
I am so fucking happy I clicked on this
Fucking awesome
Did Nigel just tape an SM58 in that tuba? that's great
Proper drumming, brilliant ❤
the drums are just sick!!
¡ A M A Z I N G ! ❤️
My favourite jazz band♥️
super and superb playing
this is funking great!!!!
Think of Home my fave of this set
groovy🔥
Wee need From The Basement sessions on streaming (Spotify, Dezzer and stuff) or physical copias or both.
This stuff is big treasure. A great audivisual caption of what Sons of Kemeth are and will be following their upcoming break-up.
this is the best i've discovered in a long time!
Another great one to check out is The Comet is Coming. Same saxophonist.
Here for Tom Skinner, stayed for and am staying with the band.
When disbanding a band is as visionary as its inception was than we surely talk of a great band. But it doesn't stop there. As we read in The Guardian (08/03/2024) the days of Hutchings muscular/ rectangular tenor sound are also counted. His new home are dozens of flutes.
3:36 oh my god.
Excepcional song !!!!
frisson. amazing musicians
Great stuff! The tuba sounds kind of like Primus Les Claypool on bass (around 145 mark as example)
I was gonna say this reminds of a band called "Drums and Tuba" and they opened for les claypool and when i was walking into the club I was SURE it was Les on stage, but no it was the tuba mane
Fire
This sounds fucking brilliant!
There's some serious energy in this video
still love your music!!
perfeito demais! que som maravilhosoooo
Shabaka gênio
Man that breakdown @ 3:25... Pure butter. I nearly slipped right off it
And then this happened...
wow.
Qué maestros.
This is a harmonic fight.
21:26: how did the drummers come together for that one little moment?!
Goodness me. I'm suprised on how this sound like classic Brazilian Jazz. Not Bossa Nova, but the Classic Samba that came from the several Rio de Janeiro's Favelas (Slums in Brazilian Portuguese). Everyone who likes jazz should listen to Cartola and Samba do Partido Alto.
This is going to be sick! - edit: I was right, this is Sick!!
powerfull
These guys can really play.
Sensational isme
🖤
Ab-SO-LOOT-Ly fucking amazing!
Come to Brazil ( when you reunite..)
damn, I had no idea Theon Cross was playing with these guys!!!
It's a shame this band will not be around much longer.
Why?
@@neocolors they are disbanding
One of the drummers (Tom) was brought in to play for radiohead side project.
@@polandk2 I would imagine there is more to it than that. The Smile will not be around for all that long. I am going to see them in December.
@@jamestemple8970 the smiles new album is amazing (better than anything Radioheads done in years) they will definitely record another one.
Maravilhoso
Virtuosity
