Yeah really goes for it and plays incredible licks. This guy is the real deal. Outstanding talent and his temperament seems to be let's have fun and see what happens ... more posts of Sean!!!
LadyMiles08 is stuuuuupid. There is no flash--Doc Severenson had flash. And all her wonder-folks, luminaries no doubt, are dead long before the jazz musician could barely survive on tips, which is still the case, by the way. Yes, there are folks around who are approaching luminary status, but they'd better hurry up and do it. I think Sean Jones is remarkable, and he's young and fluent and expressive. When Miles was young, they said he played "mouse trumpet." You forget, Ms Miles.
If flash without substance is what you call the greatest improver in the world then indeed please build an alter to the god you call Mr. Jones. All he did was throw scale patterns in between Clifford Brown licks. And what you call soul are just strategically placed blues licks. Some of ya'll young kats are being fed bs but your mouth's can't tell because it still has milk in it. This Pootie Tang improving,lol. Listen to the masters like Woody Shaw or Freddie Hubbard...this kat doesn't come close
@LadyMiles08 Have you ever seen Sean live or actually played with him? It FEELS good. Sure, it's hard to say that he's completely grown beyond his influences, but that doesn't deny a musician his substance. If anything that's what substance is built upon. Sean understands one of the most important things as a musician: how to treat, build, and respond to a moment. We can expect enormous things from him in the future. He is a rare example of a jazz player who actually ADRESSES his audience.
I have seen him play live and he is quite extraordinary...A rare example of him addressing an audience ? I would say not. There are ALOT of cats out there right now who aren't getting the same exposure....Like Maurice Brown and Corey Wilkes. Christian Scott has passion for days and of course Roy Hargrove is amazing. For a player to have substance he must also be a person of substance as well, but that's a different conversation totally,lol.
Sean Jones has so much soul in his playing, and by the way guys don't argue the black or white thing, thats not what jazz is about. I think Sean Jones is one of the best jazz improvisers on the planet, not just on trumpet.
ya'll aint saying shit about the bass player!?! Thats one jive motherfucker there, first he's playing electric and second he's doing an awful "Jaco style" solo impersonation. And I dont think Jones' playing was anything that great, he may have been drunk but I've heard him blow better. The alto wasnt horrible, but you can tell he knows what he's doin.
Maybe u just cant hear it..... He was playing the changes bro...... The bass player also had a vocabulary.... why dont u post some videos of urself playing the changes
Sean special gift is that he's a nice guy who oozes excitement.

To reiterate, that bass player still pisses me off but that sax player is in fact, jive... good sound, bad ideas/concept... or maybe he is drunk

This alto player is not that bad as some people say. His style just does not seem to match with Sean's.

If you listen closely and don't buy into the B.S., you will know how good Botti is. You don't know how to listen. You just say what you think is hip.
