Dave Holland Quintet Free for all

[billdaniel92]

generally, Nate Smith tours w/ Dave Holland w/ the exception of the Big Band. This is Billy Killson

[benjaminaramis]

drummer = Nate Smith



[SoaringTrumpet]

No matter what angle you come from, Chris Potter is the winner in this lineup.

[SoaringTrumpet]

I love Dave Holland's reaction at 2:40 to the drummer!

[Trimbler00]

Damn. Does anyone else watch this and wonder if they're dreaming? You can listen to music every minute of your life and still be floored by this magic.

[bonettilucas]

That's really amazing!!

[IAmUniverse]

LO MEJOR!

[pablito162]

Muy bueno!

[dubyatf911]

One of the best bands of all time..

In a just world, these guy's would be heard on all the radios instead of the talentless crap vomited out these days..

[rukerman2]

delicious! bon apetit!

[enricobeltrani]

Stupendo, non ho parole, vorrei avvicinarmi a tutto ciò...

[edgarcoruco]

whos the hell's the trombone player!??? im fucking shocked!!!!

[shalominthehome92]

Robin Eubanks

[kawaiigardiner]

IIRC wasn't Dave Holland in the Miles Davis quintet around the 1970s?

[pyromohanzed]

Incredible trombone.

[molhokwai]

So many layers...

Billy kilson flawlessly, outer-dimensionnally driving, gracefully unleashing the full True Power of the Drums, and then following, accompanying, emphasizing...

And Dave Holland smiling, simply enjoying himself, in pure beauty...

Pure Perfection...

[molhokwai]

You think you've heard enough of greatness for a while and... Baam! Dave Holland & Band hits you with the Groove... the Essence of the Groove...

Then you just sit back and enjoy, in pure astonishment...

And then you cry, and wonder: Where, when does the magic stop?

And then you realize: Never.

Once you let go and Open Your Eyes, it just keeps on flowing...

On, and on, and on, and on...

Musical alchemists at work, tearing through the limitations of our Minds...

[freddyfuegoNYC]

love the drop in the middle. badass

[Kahlil121]

this was jazz and it was cool.! get into the real deal.

[haweiogrl311]

I love when Chris and Robin solo together!!! So bad.

[schinder1]

BILLY KILSON RULEZ !

[bassplayingmarc]

dave holland writes a lot of funky stuff

[MrJazznerd]

wunderbar. sau geil.

[bassplayingmarc]

amazing

[wannabroosky22]

this is tight.

[pulsating123]

best duel horn section on the internet... anyone want to bet?

[joshkillerclan]

that's not nate smith. It's actually Billy Kilson. Nate Smith is the shit though

[adamhawk3000]

Robin is amazing. Period.

[Collinz0rrr]

any one know what time signatures this one is in?

[scotttinkler]

Which bit? You could take your pick, quite a few changes.

[Collinz0rrr]

most of it seems like its 4/4 and then 4 bars of 3/4 and it just keeps repeating that pattern. i think at least =p

[scotttinkler]

Pretty much I'd say, maybe 6/4 at times, but it does change.

[Collinz0rrr]

hmm ya its a tough one. another thing that makes these guys so great.

[sweetoldetc]

If you the followed the phrase its 4 bars of 4/4.. I think what makes it hard is that there is a lot of rhythmic displacement in the melody.. some of the phrases start on 2nd or 3rd or 4th beat, and it's really to mistake that as the 1... but I think it's 4/4 all the way thrugh

[sweetoldetc]

anybody else have other opinion on this?

[Collinz0rrr]

its a phrase of 16 beats obviously but if you try keeping a straight 4/4 through the whole thing it doesnt make sense with where billy kilson(drummer) is placing the beat at least for the opening melody. as far as the part after the solos i don't know.

[01youare10]

I did a transcription of this tune for class. If you listen to the bass line, Dave plays a bar of 4, and four bars of three. I'm pretty sure the melody was written along this form as well. It all lines up very nicely.

[jasennett]

its 4/4

but you can hear it as a measure of 4, and then 4 measures of 3...

but its still 4/4

[sweetoldetc]

That's what I thought too, and that's what I meant when I said that the phrases may be displaced. I am guessing chart is written 4/4 the entire time with the phrases starting in different part of the beat... kind of like the middle section Peri-Scope, but a lot more complicated. You don't have to write it in different meter, and I am guessing at their level they can easily notice the implied rhythm by playing the score.

Gee I really wish I could see the chart for this

[sweetoldetc]

I think I got it.. like jasennett said the phrasing on the first part is 1 bar of 4/4 and 4 bar of 3/4... and the next phrase is in 6+6+4 the sax/trombone unison part is 6+3+3+4.. all the phrases add up to 16 beats or 4 bars of 4/4. So I guess the score is written in 4/4 and all the other timing are implied within 4/4... at least that's my best guess.

[strezzedoutz]

i'm sorry but you can hear it still subdivided into 3, its 4+6+6. just cuz it happens to fall back into palce if you count 4/4 does not make it 4/4. the same could be said about 3/4 really. it'll eventually end back up to 4/4 (just 4 measures of 3/4)

[molho123]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO god bless man

[UNikki86]

I like the more aggressive hard bob version of this.

[trojanlol]

[danbcarson]

Gotta admit though Kilson's a monster.

[TboneWertman]

they all are

[username672]

who's the drummer?

[markussiotube]

Read the other comments, . i believe it's Billy Killson., Awesome fills in this video!

[superchuds]

@markussiotube yeah kilson for sure

[blkmatrix2003]

Billy Kilson, unfortunely he's not with Dave anymore. He went commercial.

[richardsull119]

I actually like the new drummer better, Nate Smith.

[baffosmack]

Nate Smith is a badass

[litlewing]

@username672 billy kilson i think

[toweringflesh]

@litlewing

Nate Smith

[mojopin11]

Billy Kilson!....One of the sickest drummers i have ever seen perform live!

[SoaringTrumpet]

Hella-good. These guys are above and beyond the fray. Groove on!

[devidia]

wow,thats good

[lesterGun]

give us the whole song!please!!

[JaredCS]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttt

[RasmusLindelow]

Wow! That was one of the most amazing things i've ever heard! They're so tight!

[JaimeSax99]

Sometimes I think that people like these are not human..

Look at 2:20..Potter and Eubanks are coming from a totally intricated simoltaneous solo, but they catch the perfect tempo of the main theme, as it was the most simply thing in the world..

Bass and Vibes are metronomics, don't lose a beat...

It's unbelievable...for me, they're from another world...

[SoaringTrumpet]

@JaimeSax99 I don't mean to be rude, but Billy Kilson's drum roll (very obvious cue) basically said "we're done". Anyone involved in any decent level of jazz improv should recognize this.

[Trimbler00]

@SoaringTrumpet In the original comment's defense, Kilson had been comping the motif the whole time... it was hardly an "obvious cue"

[mikerobinson13]

Dave holland is a very creative composer. The interplay between Potter and Eubanks is great.

[palipabloac]

0:23-0:28 billy kilson el gran maestro

[01youare10]

Oh man, you got it!

[scolohofobro]

love this... can anyone tell me if this is available on dvd?

[fonfeluch]

masterpiece

[bensax2bass]

holy smokes

It cool how much chemistry between Chris Potter and Robin Eubanks and how Dave Holland and the drummer easily hold it all down...who is the drummer anyways, he is phenominal especially from 2 25-2 35

[doodroo]

The drummer is the unbelievebale Billy Kilson!

[juanmat68]

jesusss potter on 0:52 what a fucker!!!

[ACers99]

Holy crap! It does not get better than this. Drool!

[ricardoolimaraujo]

F.F.A ;)

[pipi333]

Billy Kilson

[pipi333]

How's called that song?

[jumpsteady1]

se llama "free for all"

[markussiotube]

It is called "Free for all" by the Dave Holland Quintet.

[tomtimtem]

robin eubanks makes me wish i knew how to play trombone

[yamahahahahahahahaha]

Who's the bass trombone player? he's epic!

[Zombbg4]

That's robin eubanks. Yea he's amazing, my favorite bone player for sure. Oh, and that's just a tenor bone with an F attachment, not a bass

[Gman4MF]

Besides that Dave Holland and he are close personal friends, Robin Eubanks is the (co-)composer of various pieces from their latest album(s)...

[1989zaza]

I saw them in argentina last year!!

Nate Smith was great

[Gman4MF]

I agree:

The Best of the Best !

[Zombbg4]

i'll gladly second that

[greentrombone]

I can't imagine the pleasure Dave gets from playing with such OUTSTANDING musicians on a daily basis. You can see the joy in his face!

[pulsating123]

the drummer is really somthing, i saw him in chicago with this band, it was a full on frontal assault

[Chaser834]

One of the best jazz groups ever!!!!!!!!

[markussiotube]

look for metamorphos online soon., we are going to see dave holland at the montreal jazz fest on june 28th gonna be awesome

[tenorplayer09]

The Quintet is amazing live. I saw them in San Francisco.
