Heavy metal jazz... amazing... love it

[hardcoremaniac101]

amazing.

[johnnydiggle]

Absolutely stunning playing

[NDguy191]

wtf is wrong with the guitar soloist?

[jwright123456789]

@NDguy191 What do you mean? He's ripping it apart, man.

[NDguy191]

@jwright123456789 There's nothing wrong with getting into the music and moving around, but there is an extent where you just look retarded.

[jwright123456789]

@NDguy191 Well regardless of how he looks, it's Bruce Freakin' Forman and he's one of the best jazz guitarists out there! I don't personally care about what he looks like as long as the sound is there.

[NDguy191]

@jwright123456789 yeah you're right, it just erks me.

[Samax13]

Yardbird suite is the only Parker tune that I can really groove to. I know that his faster bop stuff was the music of the era and very pioneering, but this is his masterpiece.

[bennovandenbogaard]

2:00 LOLing @ Bobby

[GamingKid94]

Wow. Great phrasing by the sax. Overall very happy to watch. Saved to playlists!

[JazzKeyboardist1]

excellent,,, just like some great vocalists, sing before or after the beat,,,bobbies hands are just off a nanosecond behind what you hear,,,

[SaxDude1995]

6:33 what kind of hand movement is that meant to be??

[Possen93]

epic!

Bobby in the morning after: "I'll never take ecstasy again..."

[Phoenixscar1]

Goodness sake Bobby calm down... no single audience there paid for that kind of quality performance.

[goodchessactor]

Wow, piano gymnastics. Want some stride with your be-bop?

[davesajo]

this whole song is just epic as the apocalypse being beatiful

[Guitfiddlejase]

One of the greatest straight bop groups ever assembled!

[smorluv]

Great film clip...great JAZZZZZ!! Man that painist....dig, dig, dig that pianist!!! Ya Bobby! Then came Bruce...oh my, oh my! That boy ain't shy! The drums and bass are right on and beyond!!! Richie...well, what can one say but...Richie Cole..there is only one...the best!!! What a group! Outstanding jazz! "Well done" to say the least!

[smorluv]

Great film clip...great JAZZZZZ!!

[Nireves33]

I am bad at bass by rock standards, but this is just soul crushing.

[cschuck320]

all of these guys are amazing. I originally was watching this because I wanted to get ideas for a guitar solo. the piano player is insane

[zwalrus1]

Those six people that dislike this are probably Lady Gaga fans. Idiots...

[machinsky108]

@zwalrus1

hey,

at least it shows everyone is different...

[zwalrus1]

@machinsky108 No, I think it shows that some people are just pathetic.

[brianvbonini]

@zwalrus1 - Man, hate to be odd-man out; don't know who those "six" were or what they said but; if it was anything along the lines of this not swinging at all then I'm afraid they are dead on.

[troslogoth]

6 people dislike this.

they can't feel the groove.

[jacksecret]

Ahhhh, the great Bobby Enriquez...what a performer! Glad I saw him before he passed on. Danforth Theater in Toronto around 1990 I think. One of the best piano players ever! What got me into him was this very concert which I recorded off the TV back in the day. I saw this guy hammering the keys and invited everyone I knew over and made them watch it.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@jacksecret Yeah! i remember dude...it was on A&E....they also showed Blakey with the Marsalis brothers during that period...funny---now it's just reality TV...sad.

[BrianMBrody]

Yardbird SWEET! 

[CrystalSkyWarrior]

jive piano player! He needs to get away from the visual effects and just play.

Richie Cole sounds better than usual for the lizard that he is. A little sharp but still OK. Nice guitar work, drummer is a monster!!

[Guitfiddlejase]

This is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[X360James]

[MrRothen17]

wtf epic Qutintet ( i like the piano most :D )

[jvictor0]

Nastiest groove I've seen in a while!

Damn these cats can play!

[josh0240]

Richie's solo is awesome!

[Jfrute]

This video makes me sad.

[luzonbei]

Bobby Enriquez was born in Bacolod City on the island of Negros(not area of Mindanao) in the Philippines.

[henrids]

mad tune !

[johndoe5743]

no.. sorry, but no.

[claryscat]

Didn't they call Bobby the Wild Man from Mindanao? I got to see all these guys around the SF scene in the '70s. Scott Morris is another cat that was taken way to young. Listen to those cymbal rides. How could you not burn with that going on behind you? Richie and Bruce... WOW! Great posting, thanx.

[oxymoronique]

The pianist is epic.

[tjc197]

Flippin' awesome ajgkrajkgwa solos!!!! Or is that an understatement?

[mbsesv]

The pianist, Bobby Enriquez - amazing!!

[stand52]

Exactly right mb, as I have never seen a pianist that is so innovative about How to use a piano. Amazing stuff that I have never ever heard before. Very happy to see a fellow musician venturing into uncharted waters, so to speak.

[J4ckCruz]

go Kaz go!

lol biu biu biu biu .....

[rtel123]

Bobby is amazing. Piano prodigy at age 2, professional by 12, sneaking out of his bedroom window at night when 14 to play gigs. Self-taught!.

Taken from us too soon at 53!

[aplacson19]

@rtel123

I grew up with Bobby E in our hometown of Bacolod City in the Philippines. We would tinker my grandmother's grand piano and that's where he honed his God-given talent. Piano is still in the living room to this day and Bobby's spirit lives on in those ivories. Long live his memories! Archie

[RBeckles]

crazyness!

[Paulasse8]

yaaaaa sounds great !!

[oslojoe]

To call the piano solo face melting would be an understatement

[Snoohi1]

All hale the pianist

[amzcuenca]

wicked solos

[cremona5180]

ive seen this group live several times and bobby is alway fun to watch. they call him the wild man from mindano.and bruce has always been one of my favorite guitar players.A good freind of mine used to play drums with ritchie and bruce so we got to hang out a few times.They a a couple of great guys and incredable musicians

[mcrprincess007]

that guitarist was a clinician that taught at the monterey jazz camp 09!! he is amazing at the guitar!!!

[dethrising]

First thing....that is one great piano player!

Second thing...i love of the sound of that guitar player.

thrid.....Richie, his sound is reminisent of charlie parkers. i quite like it. i like the sound he has. and i like parker's sound, and phil woods. My teacher has a mix of a charlie parker and phil woods. with a little of gary foster thrown in. its amazing. but still....richie's sound it amazin.

Obviously richie chose the cream of the crop to be in his band.

[ZielaczK]

It's the craziest piano solo i've ever heard.

[mbsesv]

Well done for the piano player !

[AmundLauritzen]

Wow! That guitar player has a unique voice! He does not just sound like every other bebop player. I think he has the perfect mix between tradition and personal touch. Of course, all these cats play like no tomorrow, but the guitar player really caught my attention regarding improv.

[daedrmr2dae]

i like where he burps into his saxophone at around 7:13.

great melodies, its almost like he's telling little jokes with them.

[NickLongoMusic]

These players are unbelievable. Let me say this.... one of my favorite players ever. Bobby Enriquez.... the Wild Man on piano will always be my favorite. Listen to this guy!!!!!!!!!

[slowduck123]

Bobby Enriquez=beast

[smoothbabic]

i agree, he doesn't sound like parker or woods for that matter IMO.

I really like Woods but i feel that Richie Cole has something different in his playing.

Reminds me of Sonny Stitt in a way.

Fast,.....damm fast yet musical.

And really good tempo.

Boy !! do i feel small........

Whole band is SOOOOO TIGHT........

[johnshafferguitar]

What's up Reverend ? I'm glad we're both still on the planet...those were some times in "da Islands"...john shaffer

[muntarone]

pazzia questo pianista fortissimo!

[bedacoals]

That was Over The TOP!!

I saw Bruce Forman for the first time in the early 80's at an outdoor gig in San Jose,CA.

He floored me! Since, I've never understood Why he wasn't and hasn't been more of a household name? Maybe it's the way he prefers it??

Anyway... thanks for posting this Awesome clip!

Regards,

R~

[peanutbutter613]

solid

[slowduck123]

thats so awesome...

[Pleepleus]

Bobby Enriquez was a mother fucking son of a bitch, wasn't he? I feel sorry for anyone who ever had to follow that shit.

[qweasd1993]

BEBOP ALIVE!

[jac32067]

The sax player does an amazing imitation of parker. His tone is very similar. It's crazy how people can sound ALMOST exactly the same.

[THEMASTEROFSAX1]

what are you talking about? he sounds nothing like bird. not that that's a bad thing, but they sound nothing alike...

[KlassyKamikaze]

He sounds NOTHING like parker. If he's close to anyone, it would be Phil Woods.

[DayLahCrooz]

Dang, my grandfather (Bobby Enriquez) was skinny?!?... Man, I miss him.

[jazmaan]

I saw Bobby "Wild Man" Enriquez several times back in the day.  This clip doesn't even do him justice. I saw him drive some huge crowds absolutely wild!

[crystalblisters56897]

holy shit, ur grandfather was the guy who played that solo? dang!

[jazzking66]

The guitarist bruce forman is insane!

[BubbaBrewski]

I had the pleasure and amazing oppertunity to learn from Bruce when I was living in Monterey CA.

[crystalblisters56897]

gawd thats fast

[ItzMeOB]

Bobby, the wildman!! hehe..thumbs up!

[itecson]

$100,000,000 to the person who can actually write out the piano solo

[crystalblisters56897]

haha

deal

[itecson]

I like how his left foot is on the damper. maybe the right one is to keep time?

[mynewflame]

Marian McPartland also does this, and she told me Duke Ellington did as well. That position allows the pianist to come closer to facing the audience (and the other players).

[mynewflame]

The above was was in reply to itecson!

[itecson]

I damn near cried listening to the piano solo... how the heck did this guy come from Hawaii?

[tjc197]

That drummer just really captures my attention. He's really good.

[onkelbolle]

That piano solo is sick.. SICK!!

[jdrew1130]

1:58 - Even Bruce Foreman was amazed at Bobby's playing. He too had never seen anyone quite like the "Wild Man".

[tropics1020]

I think amazed is the wrong word...more like amused.

[oreocookieo]

I absolutely love this song!

Frickin amazing tho, thousands of times better than the band I'm in, we learned this song.

How the hell do they all move their fingers so fast? Its scary O.o

[GanjaGabe]

holy crap

[redassmonkeys]

insane pianist!!!!

[groovestix]

Is this released on a CD?

[nerdfudge]

I'm learning this song on the flute and on the sax.

One of my favorite songs of any genre...

It is played so well here.

[tjc197]

Love that drummer.

[singrose]

wow! I remember looking for video clips of richie cole a few years ago but couldn't find any on here. I borrowed the LP from my high school music teacher when I was 15 years old and played it non stop for months!!! Its great to finally see these fantastic musicians in the flesh. Cheers

[Smittastic]

Man, people don't talk enough about Bruce Forman. He looks like he'd be really fun to play with, and I dig his sound.

[davidrattray]

Yeah, Bruce is great....not many people who could have kept it together and follow Bobby's solo!!!

[tjc197]

woooooooooooooooo!

[redrobm]

Fantastic! I used to have this recorded on betamax video. You never get bored of Bobby's solo.

[davidrattray]

too awesome for words...go bobby...go....

[faiy]

โคตรเจ๋งครับพี่น้องงง มือเปียโน นี้เทพขั้นสด super professional percussive piano style

[tjc197]

[xpressivist]

[LuggageCart]

[maybelar]

Surely we miss you Bobby E.---Meinard B.

[Jamsteri]

These guys really rock!...or should I say thay really jazz?

[qweasd1993]

[velvetpaws999]

[kyohyaryu]

ピアノのソロの前にトイレ行った奴

[BrunaoJazzistico]

[jazzclarinet2006]

[qweasd1993]

[lrrc]

woooooooooooooow. bobby enriquez is simply out of this world, plus i have met the bass player!!

[PrinceOttmar]

You've met Marshal Hawkins!!

WOW! hes a legend!

What was he like???

[lrrc]

he's brilliant. he's a tutor at idyllwild arts summer school in california, i managed to get a scholarship and go from england

the man has high standards, some people didn't like him! i asked him (after watching him play some gruelling bass parts) if his hand ever gets tired, he said "no, it's been so many years". he's a nice guy though.

[PrinceOttmar]

Its alright luke-a-duke, I was there too.

[bill18286]

Bobby Enriquez was a god ...

[robertojimenez204]

Not Swing?  Are you dead?????

[SaxJazz19]

[guitarjud]

[guitarjud]
