There are covers...and then there are covers. THIS cover amazes me. Highly interpretive, quite technical, precise musicianship, innovatively stylish...I love this version as I suspect most ELP followers would.
couldnt agree more Great music is meant to be interpreted. These great performers pay the highest tribute to what may be Keith Emerson's finest composition
This was incredible!! What a fantastic interpretation. I'd say you guys knocked it out of the park but I can't because you guys knocked it out of the stratosphere!! Keith would have loved this!!! ❤❤❤
I completely disagree -- this isn't drivel at all. You seem to miss out on one of the most important aspects of music performance -- free interpretation. Keith Emerson would've been pretty impressed with this, I believe. It's obvious to the point of explosion that these are people who DON'T think music is just a series of notes.
It always was Jazz, just that the old crowd couldn't tolerate any act that called themselves "Rock'n Roll." E, L, and P were all obviously top notch musicians, so they couldn't call them "talentless hacks," like they do everybody else that doesn't do their preferred schict, so they called them, "presumptuous."
This is what Heaven must be like: sitting in a gauzy black-and-white dream of a jazz club, with killer musicians backing a smoking-hot French chanteuse singing an inspired cover of a classic from one of most iconic progressive rock groups in history. Tell me I'm wrong.
Keith Emerson is a seriously underrated composer. Look past the flash and occasional undeniable excesses of the era he came from and you find lasting, gorgeous pieces like this. This is a lovely interpretation of one of his best. Well done!
+James Smith There are those of us that "get it," that realize how magnificent a composer and performer Keith Emerson is. What I can't understand is why more people don't recognize that. They seem unable to see (or hear) beyond the surface flash / excesses. I like great rock and great classical music, and that's exactly the reason ELP is among my favorite bands. They give you both classical and rock....the best of progressive rock.
Eccellente. Gli Elp i miei preferiti anche loro ogni tanto qualche cosa di Jazz la insrrivano nei loro pezzi. Grandiosi gli Elp ma anche jed non scherzano.
this is jazz perfection more than I'd wish. To remake a classic gem as E.L.P. made and to perform this version live deserves recognition!! Standing O !!!
Wow! My second amazing find on CZcams in one day! Rachel Flowers and now Jad&Den. I am blown away. Keith's spirit is living on in these great young musicians.
caveatemp I discovered Rachel years ago on youtube when she was quite young. Then I met her 5 years ago when I went to see Greg Lake do his one man show., Then last year I went to see Zappa plays Zappa and Dweezil brings her out on stage to play guitar?! She played just like frank!! Incredible!!!!
Cara, aconteceu a mesma coisa comigo! Estava assistindo aos vídeos da Rachel e me deparei com esse quinteto fantástico. Estou simplesmente maravilhado! Sem dúvida, um tributo à altura da maior banda de rock progressivo de todos os tempos!
Just when you think that you know a song, someone else does another version that makes you think that this is the first time that you've heard it! BRAVO!
The sound of the Fazioli piano 🎹 is from another planet, unbelievable. Thierry's playing is extraordinary, what an arrangement of this amazing piece of music. Bravo to all of you.
This is an amazing interpretation of this song. All the comments of Keith Emerson's abilities as a composer are indeed validated. He is truly one of the musical geniuses of our time.
Bravo! What a terrific performance. Keith Emerson himself transforms the music of the other composers he plays and renders something new and unique. And you have done the same. You stood on the shoulders of a giant, and in the process have become the giant. I can't express enough my gratitude to you for this performance.
Guys this is unbelievably good. I've been an ELP fan for nearly 30 years, and this is a wonderful version of the original, with a life of it's own. Performance is superb, and the warmth you bring to the lyrics is a welcome addition. Please keep up the good work.
I'm a diehard ELP fan AND this version is excellent. The vocals are awesome and the piano jazz riffing is incredible. Love it! Finally, a reason to appreciate the French! (just kidding)
You guys are AMAZING!!!! You took one of my favorite ELP pieces to a new level. Why did it take me 10 years to discover you guys? I hope you are still together and I hope you come to Los Angeles.
Despite any blind criticism previously stated... I am sure that like me, E.L.P. would appreciate this excellent version of their masterpiece. Top marks to the Jad & Den Quintet!
Easily the best ELP cover I have heard from anybody, including Rachel Flowers. The interpretation is genius, and the execution is flawless. I have always considered this tune the most beautiful melodic lines Keith ever composed, and Jan and Den have more than done it justice! I'm breathless.
Bravo! Fantastic rendition of the ELP piece, "Trilogy." Really brings out the jazz elements that were there all along, but buried... this group makes it swing the way it was meant to... coming from a huge fan of Keith Emerson, The Nice, and ELP.
Well performed cover/tribute to a very complex song with many tempo changes. I'm sure Keith and Greg are smiling down from Heaven knowing their creative musical legacy lives on within the hearts of younger generations of talent.
absolutely delicious,great version. Love the cello sound. The piano playing is just great plus the inter-action with the singer is out of this world.She is one great singer and just shines like the sun, one of the most beautiful women i've seen in a long time.Great talent and the drummer does a great discreat beat on this song. Long live ELP. Has any body heard any other songs from ELP with this band. May god lift up your heart , people gotta move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was an ELP nut in my teens in the mid-70s...and actually just saw Emerson and Lake together a couple of months ago her in Las Vegas. What this group has done with "Trilogy" is stunning! What an unlikely tune to choose to cover in the first place. I always like the song, but this cover brings out another depth of beauty. I stumbled across this while searching for something else. I don't recall the last time I have been this surprised and delighted by a new piece of music. Magnificent!
I've been an original ELP fan since the early 70's and I think this is a superb interpretation of Trilogy, the singing of the Moog synth parts worked especially well.
SHOCKING! FASCINATING! This is all that I can say: This rendition reigns supreme. The scat jazz vocal gives flavor to this song, whereas the era in which this was created in the very early 1970's, was heavy with the experimental synthesizer psychedelic sounds with the rock and roll vocal power of delivery. This is well done: I bid you all of the best in your careers and that you can be creative in what you do so you can sell some albums and rock the charts just as ELP and their counterparts did during that era.
I am a long-time fan of ELP. This was as good as it gets, as an interpretation. The vocals were very good. Maybe the middle 5/4 section was a little rough (scatting), but otherwise very good. The third section vocals and vocalese were excellent! The female singer had great range and her intonation was spot-on, considering the intervals she had to hit. Considering this was done "without a net", I give this a 9/10 as far as performance. Of course, the music is near perfect!
This impressive and unusual cover seems to have found a new audience when the great Keith sadly passed away considering it was uploaded in 2008... Bravo to these fellows, Keith and Greg will continue to live through their brilliant musicianship !
"Trilogy" I've tried to mend The love that ended Long ago although we still pretend Our love is surely coming to an end Don't waste the time you've got to love again We tried to lie But you and I Know better than to let each other lie The thought of lying to you makes me cry Counting up the time that's passed us by I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand And if it does I hope that you will understand That I must leave in a while And though I smile You know the smile is only there to hide What I'm really feeling deep inside Just a face where I can hang my pride Goodbye... Goodbye... We'll talk of places that we went And times that we have spent Together penniless and free You'll see the day another way And they could put the sunshine For a nighttime where you lay You'll love again I don't know when But if you do I know that You'll be happy in the end
so sad to hear of the passing of keith emerson .. I hope you guys will continue to interpret his music and that of ELP in your own unique fantastic way x
Fabulous! Great interpretation. Thank you. To all of you arguing about the influence of jazz in prog rock, I have a better idea. Just shut up and enjoy the performance.
Unmasked. That's what Trilogy really is - a jazz piece with synthesizers. And rock fans have been listening to it all these years. These folks played it the way how it originally might have been. Keith would be proud.
+drkam6 I guess you know nothing of the fact that Emerson said the Nice and ELP both aspired specifically to avoid jazz. It's everywhere obvious in their music, and when they decide to let that lapse ("Benny the Bouncer" for instance) they play it for camp laughs. There's more Bartok and Ginastera here than jazz. One of the ways you can tell: most ELP fans are not also jazz fans. What ELP provided was keyboards that weren't jazz. Nothing wrong with jazz, blues, bebop, cakewalk, ragtime, or straight up typically classic music--great stuff. But if you wanted something different, you wanted something different. And ELP was different. It wasn't this. This is not ELP unmasked.
This might have to do with the fact that I am on acid right now, but... holy fuck. This is perfect, she is the most beautiful woman ever. And the feels they are transmitting, it is beautiful...
in reply to you LSR you should be damned chuffed that musicians of this calibre are playing homage to ELPs music .. this is fantastic .. and don't forget many musicians and orchestras have their own take on classical pieces by all the great composers ... if you want to hear something awesome check out the orchestrated version of tarkus by some Japanese orchestra ... absolutely brilliant which only goes to show the complexity and sheer brilliance of ELPs music
I totally agree with you, Phil...I have a great admiration for Keith Emerson's music, and I did this arrangement ( approved by M.Emerson ) in a total respect of the piece, with another approach or "point of view", with my own feeling and musical background. People can like it or not, but I will not tolerate insulting sentences like "this is crap" or "garbage", for me and the band, understood, "LSR" ?( At least, he could have the courage to put his real name to his post.).So, this last one to make M."LSR" meditate : " A mind is like a parachute, it's not working if it's not open".( Frank Zappa )
It's very refreshing to see the performers themselves involved in these comments. I have a "mix-tape" of many of my favourite songs which I listen to constantly, and this Jad&Den Quintet version of Trilogy is right at the top of the list. I listen to this recording just about daily -- I love it! Thanks so much for making it, and I really hope you do some others.
Hipster classical-jazz straight outta' MJQ and Lambert Hedricks and Ross. Keith would LOVE it. Notice the percussionist looks like Carl Palmer in 1977 with that "exi" haircut.
+Vallin It's easy to say what the dead would like, isn't it. Since Emerson explicitly stated he wanted to avoid jazz, this jazzification of an otherwise not jazzy song by him might be exactly what he DOESN'T like. Emerson's genius doesn't require reworking into a jazz idiom.
@@Aquatarkus96 (1) ask Keith what he meant; (2) jazz is a pretty all-encompassing word, so without a definition, shoehorning KE92 into "jazz" is a tautology; (3) analogy: Tarkovsky denied symbolism in his films (everyone accuses him of symbolism anyway), while the purpose of his imagery is to create an "artistic image" (not a symbol); again, you'd have to ask Andrei what exactly he meant (he wrote a lot on the topic; not hard to get an idea), but he was going for a larger idea-category than "symbolism". Emerson's engagement with "jazziness" seems of a like sort..
@@talastra 1. I subscribe to death of the author, which says that the authorial intent isn't the end all be all interpretation of a piece of media. When *I* hear Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression, I hear jazz of some kind. It isnt rock, that's damn sure, and I'm even more sure it isn't classical/romantic/baroque. It's not shoehorning, it's looking at the characteristics of a piece and comparing it to other similar pieces to classify it more clearly. As a pianist and musician for coming on a quarter century and living in a culture with the power of almost 50 years of hindsight on Emerson's works, it sounds jazz to me. If Emerson tried to avoid jazz, he didn't do a good job of it at least in that instance. It's like saying I want to make music but avoid hip hop. Later I write a song using all the instrumentation and arrangement tropes common in hip hop at the time. Doesn't matter how much I claim it isn't hip hop, it will still be hip hip to a ton of listeners. Also, Emerson was a prog rock musician. That inherently meant he was working in some jazz idioms here and there. Most everyone in the genre at the time were, wether it was conscious or accidental. 2. Keith Emerson sadly passed a few years so I will never be able to ask him anything. Though the jazziness of Karn Evil 9 2nd impression isn't very high on the list of things I would ask if given the chance. I'd more quickly ask what he did in the 70s to make his hair so amazing or how does one manhandle a Hammond organ without killing ones self
@@Aquatarkus96 As I pointed out analogously with Tarkovsky (almost typed Tarkus!), he rejected symbolism, reached for something bigger (what he called the artistic image), and obviously those artistic images consist of material in the world: trees, moving water, rain, etc., etc., etc. Things conventional assumed as symbolic. A ninth chord is not a "jazz" chord, right? Emerson worked with what his ten fingers could do on a keyboard; the body of his work doesn't sound generally like jazz. There's more honky-tonk and ragtime than jazz per se (still acknowledging, what the hell does "jazz" mean). Because Tarkovsky's artistic images look symbolic doesn't mean they are; because Emerson's KE92 sounds jazzy to you in places doesn't mean it's jazz. As an artist, I can assure you that rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I would point out to you that the "death of the author" is not the same thing as not giving them interpretive pride of place. It is quite obvious in various works of art that the piece is greater than the intentions (and vice versa). The question is not "who is the only person we can trust to tell us about this piece"; rather, the idea that "we cannot trust the artist at all to tell us about their work" is suspiciously commercial in orientation. Sorry for a digression but it is relevant. In 1857, the UK passed its Obscene Publications Act. This new law denoted a key shift in how the Crown could prosecute people possessing obscene materials (whether sexually obscene or politically obscene). Specifically, the new law explicitly removed the requirement, necessary in previous obscenity cases, for the Crown to prove obscene INTENT on the part of the PRODUCER. In other words, the Crown adopted a conceit of the death of the author, so that they could declare (without having to prove it) that a piece seemed obscene to them, and possession of the piece was therefore criminally liable. One doesn't even have to bring Foucault in here to see what shenanigans are going on. If you have a picture of Bambi, and the State decides it's obscene, then you are liable for prosecution for having obscene material. If you have a copy of Das Kapital, and the state decides it's obscene, etc. This is what can happen when we arbitrarily exclude the producer of something as a party to the intention of the piece. This doesn't mean we're in the clear for settling what the piece means socially when we take the artist into account (as one voice among many). I keep using the case of Tarkovsky because it is abundantly clear in his work: if you try to read his films "symbollically" (as an "allegory" that can be decoded in its secret meaning, which Tarkovsky specifically said is not what his films are about), then self-evidently you may drum up a brilliant interpretation of the film, that is also wholly incorrect, and which merely fits whatever political (or cultural) agenda you're trying to push. So also with Emerson's disavowal of jazz, whatever the hell he meant by it. As an artist, I do hold a somewhat classically Romantic notion of the possibilities of Art for culture, and to the extent that someone negates the person and the intention of the the producer of Art, this simultaneously nullifies the power of Art. And, frankly, that seems to be very much what has happened. And the correlation of that with suicidal climate change may be a coincidence, or maybe not.
ELP would often take similar liberties with tempo. At best, such things can add spice to the existing composition and take it in an interesting new direction, inviting us all along for a scenic ride. Not for all tastes, perhaps -- but fascinating and eclectic! Count me in!
Keith and Greg are smiling down from heaven.
Absolutely agree
There are covers...and then there are covers. THIS cover amazes me. Highly interpretive, quite technical, precise musicianship, innovatively stylish...I love this version as I suspect most ELP followers would.
couldnt agree more Great music is meant to be interpreted. These great performers pay the highest tribute to what may be Keith Emerson's finest composition
👏👏👏👏
Indeed, and how about czcams.com/video/GpUifNy9y6g/video.html
It's brilliant.
I agree with you on every word you wrote. Great musicians (amazing piano solos).
I certainly do.
I fainted. Now listening again. How come I never heard of them. Amazing!!!!!
This was incredible!! What a fantastic interpretation. I'd say you guys knocked it out of the park but I can't because you guys knocked it out of the stratosphere!! Keith would have loved this!!! ❤❤❤
Glad to see that young people follow the tracks made by the masters...everyone's crying for Keith, but he's inmortal. RIP Keith Emerson
david garione Greg lake also just passed.
Very sad news indeed.
jamie wesson I don´t think you´re right, but respect your opinion
I completely disagree -- this isn't drivel at all. You seem to miss out on one of the most important aspects of music performance -- free interpretation. Keith Emerson would've been pretty impressed with this, I believe. It's obvious to the point of explosion that these are people who DON'T think music is just a series of notes.
or for drugged, dangerous thugs. emulate who deserves it!
Amazing Jazzy interpretation! I AM IMPRESSED! Beautiful!
Wow. The independence during the piano interlude. Keith would be proud.
This is the most creative cover that I've ever heard, turning a prog tune into a jazz tune is no mean feat. Exceptional playing at all levels.
It always was Jazz, just that the old crowd couldn't tolerate any act that called themselves "Rock'n Roll." E, L, and P were all obviously top notch musicians, so they couldn't call them "talentless hacks," like they do everybody else that doesn't do their preferred schict, so they called them, "presumptuous."
The music of the two most prominent musician/composers of 70’s prog, Keith Emerson and Steve Howe, was heavily laced with jazz.
This is what Heaven must be like: sitting in a gauzy black-and-white dream of a jazz club, with killer musicians backing a smoking-hot French chanteuse singing an inspired cover of a classic from one of most iconic progressive rock groups in history. Tell me I'm wrong.
Sorry, I down right refuse to tell you you're wrong.
Great comment! This is one seriously good bunch of musicians.
No you're not wrong. They're all great musicians. Elliez is brilliant, as was Emerson.
On the spot
Right on my friend!!!
Keith Emerson is a seriously underrated composer. Look past the flash and occasional undeniable excesses of the era he came from and you find lasting, gorgeous pieces like this. This is a lovely interpretation of one of his best. Well done!

Beautiful version, and a beautiful tribute to the great Keith Emerson.
At 7:22 Ceilin shows off her immense scat skills - she is phenomenal, I can't stop watching. Plus, she's gorgeous :-)

Tears in my eyes of joy , and sadness because the Kiss of Keith and Gregg
Just when you think that you know a song, someone else does another version that makes you think that this is the first time that you've heard it! BRAVO!
I'm just realizing trilogy is jazz !
The sound of the Fazioli piano 🎹 is from another planet, unbelievable. Thierry's playing is extraordinary, what an arrangement of this amazing piece of music. Bravo to all of you.
what a great
of one of the best tracks ever written
Makes me want to dance...to a song in-danceable! Long live KE!...and Jad & Den!
The absolute BEST cover I’ve EVER heard of ANYTHING!!!
I have never applauded at the end of a CZcams video - I just have!
Me too
Esp those last 2 chords
These folks are truly great.
A classic Masterpiece !!!
This is an amazing interpretation of this song. All the comments of Keith Emerson's abilities as a composer are indeed validated. He is truly one of the musical geniuses of our time.
Bravo! What a terrific performance. Keith Emerson himself transforms the music of the other composers he plays and renders something new and unique. And you have done the same. You stood on the shoulders of a giant, and in the process have become the giant. I can't express enough my gratitude to you for this performance.
If someone has something bad to say....get a life and that is live!!!
Hats off to these guyz!!!!
They bring Trilogy to a new level human ever heard... Top notch!
Guys this is unbelievably good. I've been an ELP fan for nearly 30 years, and this is a wonderful version of the original, with a life of it's own. Performance is superb, and the warmth you bring to the lyrics is a welcome addition. Please keep up the good work.
I'm a diehard ELP fan AND this version is excellent. The vocals are awesome and the piano jazz riffing is incredible. Love it! Finally, a reason to appreciate the French! (just kidding)
Blown away by that performance.
Met these at the keith emerson tribute show in brum uk ...absolutely INCREDIBLE ,what an honour it was!
After seen this video i was standing applause!!!
Same
One of the most beautiful ELP songs ever. Great performance.
I would watch this band any day. Very talented - five stars!
one of the most beautiful and amazing things i ever heard in my life
You guys are AMAZING!!!! You took one of my favorite ELP pieces to a new level. Why did it take me 10 years to discover you guys? I hope you are still together and I hope you come to Los Angeles.
Grammy! I'd nominate this for the best arrangement of an existing tune, and best Contemporary Performance...REALLY! Way to go! Amazing!
Truly wonderful. Been an ELP fan since the early seventies and also love this kind of jazz. 10 out of ten from me.♥
An instant Classic... From a Classic. Great work Jad&Den Quintet.
Despite any blind criticism previously stated... I am sure that like me, E.L.P. would appreciate this excellent version of their masterpiece.
Top marks to the Jad & Den Quintet!
Easily the best ELP cover I have heard from anybody, including Rachel Flowers. The interpretation is genius, and the execution is flawless. I have always considered this tune the most beautiful melodic lines Keith ever composed, and Jan and Den have more than done it justice! I'm breathless.
Amazing we all forget how great Emerson Lake and Palmer were and they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...mmm.. keep the music alive!
Absolutely the best best best interpretation of this wonderful track.
Bravo! Fantastic rendition of the ELP piece, "Trilogy." Really brings out the jazz elements that were there all along, but buried... this group makes it swing the way it was meant to... coming from a huge fan of Keith Emerson, The Nice, and ELP.
Well performed cover/tribute to a very complex song with many tempo changes. I'm sure Keith and Greg are smiling down from Heaven knowing their creative musical legacy lives on within the hearts of younger generations of talent.
I will second that emotion!! It really doesn't get better than this ...and that's called "perfection"!!!
In a new way again you realize and hear the genius of this music. Tanks a lot!
absolutely delicious,great version. Love the cello sound. The piano playing is just great plus the inter-action with the singer is out of this world.She is one great singer and just shines like the sun, one of the most beautiful women i've seen in a long time.Great talent and the drummer does a great discreat beat on this song. Long live ELP.
Has any body heard any other songs from ELP with this band.
May god lift up your heart , people gotta move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"absolutely delicious" is THE technical concept to describe this performance. Thanks for express

I need help. I can't stop listening (and watching) this. Thank you.
I can not help you, I have the same problem
Never ending Pleasure!!!GREAT
Essa foi talvez a mais espetacular versão de trilogy.
Sem mais comentários.
Parabéns
This is enormously delightful!
Excellent rendition of a beautiful song. Thank you.

Wonderful, WONDERFUL!!!!
very nice and appropriate for today. RIP Keith
+David Pickett Thank you David....Made ne tear up.
FANTÁSTICO!!!
Amazing. I can watch this over and over again.
Once a month, for the last five years, I watch this and every time is amazing
This impressive and unusual cover seems to have found a new audience when the great Keith sadly passed away considering it was uploaded in 2008... Bravo to these fellows, Keith and Greg will continue to live through their brilliant musicianship !
Maravilhoso!!! Ótimo arranjo 'jazzístico' em uma das melhores peças do EL&P.
What a faithful and wonderful re-working. Absolutely astounding!
Stunning. Out of sight.
"Trilogy"
I've tried to mend
The love that ended
Long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don't waste the time you've got to love again
We tried to lie
But you and I
Know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that's passed us by
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free
You'll see the day another way
And they could put the sunshine
For a nighttime where you lay
You'll love again I don't know when
But if you do I know that
You'll be happy in the end
You'll see the day another way
And wake up with the sunshine
Pouring right down where you lay
so sad to hear of the passing of keith emerson .. I hope you guys will continue to interpret his music and that of ELP in your own unique fantastic way x
Excellent cover. I only now realized there is a Jazz core to the original song. Well done.
I grab this performance and put into my heart.... :)
Beautifully performed
Keith Mcmahon I would go to a restaurant and see this an my wife would, what is thiis?
.l would say ELP.
Fedele allo spirito ( e alle note ) dell'originale . Splendida esecuzione !
Beautifully played. I loved it and it gave me chills and a lump in my throat.
Well reassembled, well rehearsed, well executed, Deserved applause.
Brilliant arrangement
The best ELP cover i've ever seen! Cool!
This is what happens when you are really talented and work really hard. Fantastic
Not sure how I missed this after 15 years, but I'm so glad. I found it now. A wonderful interpretation in both performance and concept!
You’ll probably love that too :

So beautiful !

One of the ways you can tell: most ELP fans are not also jazz fans. What ELP provided was keyboards that weren't jazz. Nothing wrong with jazz, blues, bebop, cakewalk, ragtime, or straight up typically classic music--great stuff. But if you wanted something different, you wanted something different. And ELP was different. It wasn't this. This is not ELP unmasked.
beautifully made - thx a lot! God bless you all! 🙏🏻💚🌈🎶🎵🏆🤩🥰
I'm almost speechless. Formidable!!!
Greetings from Rio, Brazil.

This might have to do with the fact that I am on acid right now, but... holy fuck.
This is perfect, she is the most beautiful woman ever. And the feels they are transmitting, it is beautiful...
The acid is only enhancing what is already there
in reply to you LSR you should be damned chuffed that musicians of this calibre are playing homage to ELPs music .. this is fantastic .. and don't forget many musicians and orchestras have their own take on classical pieces by all the great composers ... if you want to hear something awesome check out the orchestrated version of tarkus by some Japanese orchestra ... absolutely brilliant which only goes to show the complexity and sheer brilliance of ELPs music
I totally agree with you, Phil...I have a great admiration for Keith Emerson's music, and I did this arrangement ( approved by M.Emerson ) in a total respect of the piece, with another approach or "point of view", with my own feeling and musical background. People can like it or not, but I will not tolerate insulting sentences like "this is crap" or "garbage", for me and the band, understood, "LSR" ?( At least, he could have the courage to put his real name to his post.).So, this last one to make M."LSR" meditate : " A mind is like a parachute, it's not working if it's not open".( Frank Zappa )
Thierry Eliez ....Mr. Eliez this is by far...the BEST version of "Trilogy"!! Hats off...to you and your ensemble !!
It's very refreshing to see the performers themselves involved in these comments. I have a "mix-tape" of many of my favourite songs which I listen to constantly, and this Jad&Den Quintet version of Trilogy is right at the top of the list. I listen to this recording just about daily -- I love it! Thanks so much for making it, and I really hope you do some others.
What a Nice Trilogy !!!
A great approach, it's fantastic. "LSR" probably could never play this, so he's frustrated. :-). I'm sure Keith LOVED IT!
Fantastic ! I'm fascinated with this transformation / performance.
This people is marvelous - Great work !
Excellent, I really enjoyed this. Kieth is still with us in his music...
Hipster classical-jazz straight outta' MJQ and Lambert Hedricks and Ross. Keith would LOVE it. Notice the percussionist looks like Carl Palmer in 1977 with that "exi" haircut.
+Vallin It's easy to say what the dead would like, isn't it. Since Emerson explicitly stated he wanted to avoid jazz, this jazzification of an otherwise not jazzy song by him might be exactly what he DOESN'T like. Emerson's genius doesn't require reworking into a jazz idiom.
@@talastra Emerson avoided jazz? Explain Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression
@@Aquatarkus96 (1) ask Keith what he meant; (2) jazz is a pretty all-encompassing word, so without a definition, shoehorning KE92 into "jazz" is a tautology; (3) analogy: Tarkovsky denied symbolism in his films (everyone accuses him of symbolism anyway), while the purpose of his imagery is to create an "artistic image" (not a symbol); again, you'd have to ask Andrei what exactly he meant (he wrote a lot on the topic; not hard to get an idea), but he was going for a larger idea-category than "symbolism". Emerson's engagement with "jazziness" seems of a like sort..
@@talastra 1. I subscribe to death of the author, which says that the authorial intent isn't the end all be all interpretation of a piece of media. When *I* hear Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression, I hear jazz of some kind. It isnt rock, that's damn sure, and I'm even more sure it isn't classical/romantic/baroque. It's not shoehorning, it's looking at the characteristics of a piece and comparing it to other similar pieces to classify it more clearly. As a pianist and musician for coming on a quarter century and living in a culture with the power of almost 50 years of hindsight on Emerson's works, it sounds jazz to me. If Emerson tried to avoid jazz, he didn't do a good job of it at least in that instance. It's like saying I want to make music but avoid hip hop. Later I write a song using all the instrumentation and arrangement tropes common in hip hop at the time. Doesn't matter how much I claim it isn't hip hop, it will still be hip hip to a ton of listeners.
Also, Emerson was a prog rock musician. That inherently meant he was working in some jazz idioms here and there. Most everyone in the genre at the time were, wether it was conscious or accidental.
2. Keith Emerson sadly passed a few years so I will never be able to ask him anything. Though the jazziness of Karn Evil 9 2nd impression isn't very high on the list of things I would ask if given the chance. I'd more quickly ask what he did in the 70s to make his hair so amazing or how does one manhandle a Hammond organ without killing ones self
@@Aquatarkus96 As I pointed out analogously with Tarkovsky (almost typed Tarkus!), he rejected symbolism, reached for something bigger (what he called the artistic image), and obviously those artistic images consist of material in the world: trees, moving water, rain, etc., etc., etc. Things conventional assumed as symbolic. A ninth chord is not a "jazz" chord, right? Emerson worked with what his ten fingers could do on a keyboard; the body of his work doesn't sound generally like jazz. There's more honky-tonk and ragtime than jazz per se (still acknowledging, what the hell does "jazz" mean). Because Tarkovsky's artistic images look symbolic doesn't mean they are; because Emerson's KE92 sounds jazzy to you in places doesn't mean it's jazz.
As an artist, I can assure you that rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I would point out to you that the "death of the author" is not the same thing as not giving them interpretive pride of place. It is quite obvious in various works of art that the piece is greater than the intentions (and vice versa). The question is not "who is the only person we can trust to tell us about this piece"; rather, the idea that "we cannot trust the artist at all to tell us about their work" is suspiciously commercial in orientation.
Sorry for a digression but it is relevant. In 1857, the UK passed its Obscene Publications Act. This new law denoted a key shift in how the Crown could prosecute people possessing obscene materials (whether sexually obscene or politically obscene). Specifically, the new law explicitly removed the requirement, necessary in previous obscenity cases, for the Crown to prove obscene INTENT on the part of the PRODUCER. In other words, the Crown adopted a conceit of the death of the author, so that they could declare (without having to prove it) that a piece seemed obscene to them, and possession of the piece was therefore criminally liable. One doesn't even have to bring Foucault in here to see what shenanigans are going on. If you have a picture of Bambi, and the State decides it's obscene, then you are liable for prosecution for having obscene material. If you have a copy of Das Kapital, and the state decides it's obscene, etc.
This is what can happen when we arbitrarily exclude the producer of something as a party to the intention of the piece. This doesn't mean we're in the clear for settling what the piece means socially when we take the artist into account (as one voice among many). I keep using the case of Tarkovsky because it is abundantly clear in his work: if you try to read his films "symbollically" (as an "allegory" that can be decoded in its secret meaning, which Tarkovsky specifically said is not what his films are about), then self-evidently you may drum up a brilliant interpretation of the film, that is also wholly incorrect, and which merely fits whatever political (or cultural) agenda you're trying to push. So also with Emerson's disavowal of jazz, whatever the hell he meant by it.
As an artist, I do hold a somewhat classically Romantic notion of the possibilities of Art for culture, and to the extent that someone negates the person and the intention of the the producer of Art, this simultaneously nullifies the power of Art. And, frankly, that seems to be very much what has happened. And the correlation of that with suicidal climate change may be a coincidence, or maybe not.
Parts of the piano passages were a bit too fast but other than that, this is an excellent version of the song.
+Tim Sutherland ...this is a live version and it sounds great to me
ELP would often take similar liberties with tempo. At best, such things can add spice to the existing composition and take it in an interesting new direction, inviting us all along for a scenic ride. Not for all tastes, perhaps -- but fascinating and eclectic! Count me in!
Awesome for sure!
Incredible musicians! What a pianist!!!
