Maceo Parker & Nils Landgren

[Thystonius]

Damn, the drums are really simple but I'm totally jumping up and down in my chair from the first seconds. Groovy, wow! :-D

[Kurtly1967]

They're GREAT!

[frooto2]

am i the only 15 year old that likes this?

[Kurtly1967]

@frooto2 I'm 14 years old and I love it! =DD

[maidoodesu]

nice ! ですね.

[JamonjiCahillibongo]

the bass player is fucking awesome. coming from a drummer...

[radhazard888]

whoa nils is young!

[Svettjodd]

I recognize the great Per Lindvall, but who's the other drummer?

[costanza69]

@Svettjodd It´s Åke Sundqvist

[dasse94]

I like nils dance.

[TheSamiIbrahim]

ahh Nils landgren i had a concert with him

[Jatman901]

Per Lindvall is so damn good

[fnkdrmmr]

I agree whole-heartedly with trombonedemon. America does not appreciate its creation nor its people. Most of my musician friends make a very good living in places like Japan and Europe - but would be "starving artists" if they stayed in the USA. Countries abroad respect and appreciate this type of music. Most people, not all, are 50 years behind in their race relation.

[trombonedemon]

Its funny how other countries appreciate American music more than the U.S.!

[Dmitry777]

It's normal)) Many countris like russian balet, but for me it's not interesting) I like jazz & funk)), and that music was born in U.S.A.

It's look like foreign come to my city and walking in our museums, and i have no time for it)

sorry for my english)

[bluesmannonthebass]

Anyone knows whos the bassplayer?

[mustig]

Lars "Denmark" Danielsson

Theres two different well known bass players named Lars Danielsson, one from Sweden and one from Denmark...

[improm2u]

cool , nils is a superb player , and maceo , well what can u say about him that hasnt been said already, the likes of marcus miller would of been all over that bass solo tho.

[Dmitry777]

what i can say about him what?? D spaek russia plz)))(it was joke about russia speaking) dont understand your question

sorry for my english!)

[derhalt1990]

@Dmitry777 it's a rhetorical question, it just implies that Maceo is one of the greatest of his profession ; )

thx for the upload btw

[vanemmerik]

@improm2u Marcus Miller or Victor Wooten might have been all over that bass solo but Lars has a fantastic tone! Fits right in with that groove and it is fucking tight! Love it!

[pampinjon]

Haha, so good, my limbs are movin all by themselves

[chromatischerkosmos]

thnks for the Video , fantastic !

[jolandasterbloem]

[drumstyx77]

This is a killer song - you know why I like music like this...because you can't stay still while it's playin'!!!! The funk bone takes over and you just groove along !!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[CecilBeaDeVil]

Thank you very much Dmitry777; you are a gentleman! And your English is fine, by the way ;-)

[Dmitry777]

thanks))

[CecilBeaDeVil]

Thanks so much for posting this, Dmitry77. I had this concert on video tape for years, but have since lost it. Would it be possible for you to post their performance of "The Chicken", as well? I'd be extremely grateful if you could. : D

[Dmitry777]

Not at all :-)

I havn't this concert, but my friend have it. I'll try to take it and post. but I do not promise that I will soon make it.

sorry for me english :-)

[Musikern26]

Chicken is written by pee wee ellis... end of discussion..

[jonot2449]

Agreed.

[frourouc]

die jazzer sind doch echt so crazy!! :-)

[aasjazz91]

rasist! Why did you send me a PM that you hate black people?!?!

[jonot2449]

No, the Chicken is actually written by Alfred James "Pee Wee" Ellis, the tenor sax player from The JB Horns.

[TrashofHell]

i´m very sure its by jaco pastorius :D

[torstmann]

The Chicken is written by Alfred Ellis, but Jaco Pastorius later made it his own and used it as his "signature" track :)

[youpippo81]

the white guy is lookin like hes trying so hard

viva maceo

[galantvoiz]

cool

[R0aId]

Great musicians!

[jhasselq]

PER LINDVALL, first time I heard Per "clicktrack" Lindvall with J:sson Lindh och herr J.Schaffer, 1980 MARIAHISSEN,STOCKHOLM.(he owned since he started up....

[turow6000]

Awesome performance!

Enjoy the groove!!!!!!!

The most funky unit ever!!!

[jnoir87]

Haha, isn't that the ending to Jaco Pastorius' The Chicken?

[butzeone]

yes it is :)

[Bjorlin1]

almost :P but its otherway that they go down here they go up haha

[pampinjon]

Dont think the chicken is Pastoruis song...

[florianusio]

The chicken is written by jaco pasorius @pampinjon

[jonot2449]

The Chicken is written by tenor saxophonist Alfred James "Pee Wee" Ellis... you know, the tenor saxophonist from the J.B. Horns. If you guys go check it on all official published works, you'll find it's not Jaco's tune. Jaco made it famous though.

[gurrathes]

The bassplayer is Lars Danielsson from Denmark and the drummer is the worlds most funky, incredible Per Lindvall from Sweden!! Haffner is not that good! Love this gang!

[odolany]

@gurrathes are you absolutely sure this is Danielsson? wow... he was... young...

[gurrathes]

@odolany Yeah, Lasse played with Nils in that times... And you can hear it on the way he is playing. Suberb bassplayer!

[r0ck53n]

@gurrathes Yeah... right... Haffner not that good... I don't know from what planet you come from, but they obviously don't appreciate good drums from where you come from. Haffner kicks ass!

[maccxoph]

No better funk than Maceo.

Bass player pumping like Rocco Prestia. Great song

[RutboyNiles]

That's Wolfgang Haffner on Drums right?

Maceo kicks ass!

[jonrixbus]

This is actually one of the most prominent drummers from Sweden, Per Lindvall. Tight as hell!

[Bullup]

yea nice =). going to see nils tomorow and maceo on friday in copenhagen jazz festival :D

[timeoutfourtwo]

Per Lindvall on drums. great! tempo starts rushing when the percussion guy switches to drumset:(

[clyfton]

lol, and where (when, rather...) exactly, would you say this takes place?

[quinsanity]

f you guys you know i'm right

[duncker33]

on the bass: Mr. A. Schwarzenegger!!

[1Dudelsack1]

maceo and nils are great! the band is fantastic! the song is super! i love this band and song

[Dmitry777]

:-)

[1Dudelsack1]

wow, thats so funky! thats a super song!i love nils landgren!

(wow, das ist so funky! Das ist ein super Lied! Ich liebe Nils Landgren)

[chewyflea]

funky white dude on bass

[greenysfleetwoodmac]

Thats Lars danielsson from denmark

[apelsinljuice]

Lars DK Danielsson :-) Love to the Fender Jazz!

[VidVlasic]

i love maceo s simple lines

[DrummerInExile]

lol

should have watched till the end before commenting....... my bad.....

[DrummerInExile]

is it me or is the catch phrase line thingy, just an inversion of "the chicken"'s catchphrase....???please reply...

[Dmitry777]

the last phrase of theme from the chicken^-)))

[apelsinljuice]

don't you have that tune to? i would be really nice if you could upload it! :)

[Dmitry777]

i have not  ^-((

[edog200]

Just brilliant driving rhythm. Pity about the basist, LAME!!!! Would love to see basist Marcus Miller in that line up. Would have taken the jam to another level. Come to think of it Lee Ritenour would have torn it up!

[ballbuster800]

I'm sure Marcus Miller would've put a whole different feel to this tune, but Lars Danielsson lays down some phat Rocco Prestia finger-funk for this one.

[edog200]

Maybe I was too hard on him. Maybe the mixing let him down. I owuld have liked it louder. I'll search youtube for more of him and reassess!!

[eastsackevster]

I agree with the bass being not good, this guy is busting like Les Claypool. works for Les but not for Jazz when Maceo is the leader and should be dominating here.  just my 2 cents go ahead and vote thumbs down haha

[quinsanity]

Boy your dumb.. ever heard of Marcus Miller, Richard Bona, or Jaco Pastorius? Les claypool can suck a D**K. And I'm sure Maceo didn't care about Nils.

[kivprac]

It is one drummer, Per Lindvall, and one percussionist Åke Sundqvist.

The other line-up is:

Nils Landgren, tr

Maceo Parker, sx

Lars Danielsson, bs

Henrik Jansson, gtr

Jesper Mejlvang, key

I was at this concert in Stockholm, and it was GREAT! There is a live recording from that concert on CD.

[groovekilledme]

haha the funk unit are dressed like cool hoboes, maceo got a tux on :D

[svenjick]

Geez - Maceo can still play there, cool!

[Dmitry777]

There are two drummers here)

[emmtiz]

Oooh yea!!! And jaygrove one of the drummers is Per Lindvall alright! Groove...

[MrMushy]

holy fark!

lars danielsson, pär lindvall, nisse AND maceo at once! cant get any better than this!!! :)

[jaygroov]

the drummer isn't per lindvall

[jumbosilverette]

Good bone player but this guy's wife needs to check his wardrobe before he heads for the gig.

[groovekilledme]

fucking coolest clothes ever!!

[offmeface]

The original Funk Unit!!! FUKIN AWESOME!

[Dmitry777]

That is not only Maceo, Nils Landgren and the group are superfanky too!!!! Maceo flying!:-) sorry for bad english))

[ranieridisacco]

Ohhhh, that's Maceo!!!
