The Seatbelts - Clutch

[snackpeelskin]

- Vegeta ! What does the scouter say about the awesome level ?

- Its OVER NINE THOUSAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EBE246]

Awesome, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......­.............v_v sleep/chill mode l-)

[TheWizardofGore]

This is Japanese jazz at its finest

[THExPIPER]

this is just simply brilliant, i fall into a trance with this song while driving and find myself driving faster as the song progresses. gives me the chills.

[yellowtaiwanman]

To be honest with all of you, I never liked soprano sax. But this solo is giving me goose bumps that are about to fall all over the Earth. The rage and transitions were just so outstanding that made me feel like dying for more. Brilliance, class, whatever word you would like to use to describe, this is it. I don't even have to talk about the Trumpet Solo and Bass. All people have ears to hearts to appreciate them,except 1.

[PackleaderKiba]

Whats the tuning for this?

[CinicoMG]

Just to clear stuff up, This is NOT Herbie Hancock, not only many commenters have pointed out the inconsistencies, but i've got an original copy of this disc, and on the booklet you can read credits for every song, for clutch they are as follows:

drums - sano yasuo

bass . sase tadashi

guitar - michishita kazuhiko

piano - arimasa yukiyoshi

trp. solo - hara tomonao

sax. solo - honda masato

Please upvote so the credit is given were due,

[MetalMicah57]

Man....utterly speechless at how good this is

[musterdyellow]

does anyone know if we can buy these songs on itunes?

[itsthelolocaust]

sounds like rush kinda.

[tkdmaster3bd]

yo, this is very clearly not the VSOP quintet. There was no recording from VSOP in 1980 only 76 and 78 and there is no tune "clutch" on any of their albums. Correct please. Also, the A section is stolen from the turnaround on Jimmy Heath's "Big P". Still killin', but NOT VSOP. The pianist is clearly not herbie hancock.

[maleficentemu]

1 person never learned how to drive a stick

[GeneRH1]

@maleficentemu Ha ha ha ha ha! Boy, when you're right. . .Clutch connects, dud'n it.

[RoosterCogburnPhD]

Precious, precious ear bleach

[tabernavudu]

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I smell a silly little web scam right here. These are The Seatbelts indeed, and they are perfectly capable of putting up a tune like this one anytime of the day except breakfast perhaps. Whoever doubts it has beans for brains.

[Skaterpunk721]

I get shit done when i listen to this

[Anjiruu]

HNGGG. This fucking great.

[AnddoGX]

God tier band.

[retrocareermelted]

I want to find more jazz like the seatbelts..

anybody know more awsome bombastic jazz like the seatbelts?

[Silencer198]

@retrocareermelted well if you read the description you'll find one band right there

[kwtrmln]

@retrocareermelted

well since this is the group vsop( very special onetime performance), why not try looking the members of the band up: Ron Carter (bass), Herbie Hancock( piano), Tony Williams (drums), freddie hubbard(trumpet), wayne shorter(sax)

you will not be disappointed

[shoujoluvr707]

WOO!! *swings and snaps*

[jojohernandez14]

my god...the horn,the piano,the song its to much!!!

*Faints*

wakes up

why's my pants below my ankles?



[ximilixaca]

@jojohernandez14 LOL in a pool of ur own jizz because this song is orgasmic!!!!!! LOL

[jojohernandez14]

@ximilixaca

i thought so lol

[juanramirezzlopezz]

i wanna see someone do a drum cover to this song!!!

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Where's Butterfly?

[22hka]

Is this bebop jazz? And if so can anybody recommend me some other bebop jazz albums? Thanks :)

[lastvalca]

@22hka i recommend you "Bird and Diz" incredible album by parker and gillespie recorded in 1950. few names, beside charlie parker and dizzy gillespie, if you are interested in bebop: thelonius monk, art bakley, bud powell, max roach. enjoy! ;-)

[himez123]

Do you know any album that has songs like 'Memory'

[1xXATRUMXx1]

any album from charlie parker, dizzy gillespie, and listen to haitian fight song, and moanin', both played by the mingus big band. it's fantastic.

[ViralZen]

@22hka RUSH....but you probably already discovered it!

[tsuuki]

that bass player is god mode

[Lemming16]

@tsuuki Also, keep in mind it's a double bass, which is WAY harder to play than a normal electric bass.

[sofimak]

AHHHHHH me encanta esta rola!!!!!

[OnionRingOfDoom]

uh, the CD liner notes give the following information: * drums - Yasuo Sano * bass - Tadashi Sase * guitar - Kazuhiko Michishita * piano - Yukiyoshi Arimasa * trumpet soloist - Tomonao Hara * saxophone soloist - Masato Honda

Also, I can't find any information about this song in Herbie Hancock's stuff. Also, this doesn't sound like what Herbie sounded like in 1980. I think someone was just being a smartass on Wikipedia.

[42connorzielinski42]

what the hell are you talking about? this is the seatbelts, a japanese band led by yoko kanno. they also did "tank" and "bad dog no biscuit". i wouldn't call you a snob if you were right about the mistake, but i will call you an idiot and a prick since you wernt even right.

[sirrich0608]

VSOP. 1980 Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Freddie Hubbard, and Tony Williams.

[zachrhea1]

@sirrich0608 I can't find any proof of this being a Herbie tune. What album is it from and/or where would I find some evidence proving this? Also, who is playing guitar? There is clearly a chorused out guitar throughout the whole thing. That seems to be the one thing everybody forgets to mention. Unless it's some sort of vintage keyboard I've never heard before.

[kwtrmln]

@42connorzielinski42

this is not the seatbelts. its just on the bebop compilation cd. It says so on the actual CD

[sockbot]

@kwtrmln Can you post a scan of the CD liner? I've never seen any primary source showing this is not the Seatbelts. Only some anonymous editor from wikipedia says it's VSOP.

[42connorzielinski42]

my mistake. so now im an idiot and a prick. whoops. ごめん。間違えた。きみは正しかった。でも、シートベルツはまだ­凄くて、良いバンドだねえ。

[drokles]

Alot of the Jazz from the Seatbelts reminds me of Miles Davis. Especially perhaps his album "Seven Steps to Heaven". If you like this then I'd STRONGLY recommend it ;).

[herraber]

@ Hamiltonjsh.

Like it is said on the info, " Clutch by Hancock's quintet."

[hamiltonjsh]

what album is it originally from?

[hamiltonjsh]

i have a question. Is this the seatbelts or Herbie Hancock? Can I get a straight answer?

[jmoreno718]

What Great JAZZ man I love it!

[silac1993]

Hehehe, I have always liked this song. :) So, I see that this is the only song on "Future Blues" that's not recorded by YK and The Seatbelts. Sweet!

[fidesdefensor]

Apparently being a Cowboy Bebop fanboy has the side effect of making you a connoisseur of jazz...

[WowzaBoyz]

thats true. i used to think jazz wasa little boring, but now i think of it as a soundtrack of life

[ximilixaca]

@WowzaBoyz jazz is anything but boring, it can be abstract, straightforward, structured, wild, fast, slow, relaxing, energetic, its one of the most versatile forms of music (atleast to me) im glad this song has made you a believer, welcome!

[stubert311]

@ximilixaca i hate band geeks

[BLACKIESBOY]

@stubert311

Yeah, well, in Soviet Russia...

[zeroarashi]

It's from Cowboy Bebop the movie! ♥

I sometimes pop in the dvd and leave it on the menu to hear this song. :3

P.S. Thanks for the upload~

[zeroswings2]

I'm guilty of doing this more than a few times... LOL

[MrDanieloneill]

Its actually the Herbie Hancock's V.S.O.P. from 1980. Kinda bummed and surprised when I found out it wasn't Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts, but then not surprised when you actually think about the difference in calibre between this and a lot of the other Seatbelts songs.

[MTMusic28]

no. it isn't.

it is the seat belts.

i have a hard copy of this with the personnel listed. it's the seat belts.

[freitasnetuno]

A PERFECT FIGHT SONG!

[hellb]

F****** Sweet !!!!

[BlackCatBebop]

that trumpet is disgusting....whoo

[OstrOsized]

This song is so awesome that I am transcribing it and writing the arrangement for my combo to play!

[manijac0von0celje]

nice! are there trumpets in it? :D

[freitasnetuno]

trumpet vs alto sax

piano

double bass

drums

keyboards too

[manijac0von0celje]

wow this is great! its exacly what i was thinking of. i need thoose notes!

[manijac0von0celje]

are there programs for writing notes? ive never see one :O but i wanna...

[2UIROGA]

yep i use music notes n guitar pro, both are great programs even if u r not an expert musician u can practice on here :)

[manijac0von0celje]

yes i wouldn't exacly call myself an expert musician. oh yeah. does guitar pro work on trumpet notes too?

[2UIROGA]

yep

[manijac0von0celje]

cooleh. id need one of thoose. but i think thats not gonna happen D:

[Over9000WK]

Yup.

Guitar pro accomodates and bass / treble clef instruments and drums.

No joint treble & bass clef instruments, though. (For example, piano.)

[manijac0von0celje]

ej at home i have this realy old keyboard. if i say had this programe culd i connect it whit the comp?

[spirit7492]

Soprano saxophone, FYI.

[jingkob24]

there is already sheet music made for this...but without the solos

[OstrOsized]

I couldn't find any sheet music, and besides, it's better for me to transcribe it. It wasn't very hard either.

[natalievance]

Absolutley Bitchin Sweet.

[bakedovenfresh716]

fuckin sick! I dont how they have the energy to play a song after this one.

[bobobob1230]

that's why they are the seatbelts; they jam so hard they have to strap themselves in to avoid injuring themselves

[bakedovenfresh716]

thats very true!

but this actually a recording of herbie hancock and one of his groups from 1980.

[OstrOsized]

These guys are killin'!! I'd love to see them live.

[vaineminaru]

this isn't actually wayne shorter on soprano is it? sounds like masato honda

[shortsaxplayer]

oh my god this swings so hard

[travellingbarrett]

swings like a sledgehammer, baby:) yeah!

[Mifrel]

GREATTO MUSIC.

XD It Reminds me a little the Battle Themes In The Movies Of El Santo

[BasEirik]

sick bassline

[NEKONOMAME]

かっこいい！

[donvag25]

BEAST!!!!!

[MichaelRomeoIsGod]

Great Jazz Tune!

Just about anything by Yoko Kanno is amazing.

[pharfenagen]

im pretty sure this is actually by herbie hancock.

[uberman54533]

It is Herbie but I wouldn't put it past Yoko Kanno to write something unexpectedly awesome in yet another genre.

[zeroarashi]

Yay! Menu of the movie. <3

Love this song. ♥
