You are absolutely right, they are. I've been following the "Jackets" nearly since their inception, I've wintesses a few personnel changes and their sensibility and overall conceptional delivery have remained the best in the craft. The Yellowjackets, especially with William Kennedy in the drummer seat are by far the Greatest we have in this artform. PERIOD!
Mes amitiés à WILL KENNEDY ! j'adore votre jeu de batterie! c'est une respiration permanente!,votre groupe est vraiment un super groupe avec de magnifiques compositions!et avec des grands musiciens! de la part de DIDIER D'AGOSTINO batteur FRANCAIS ET PROFESSEUR DE BATTERIE VIDEOS SUR YOUTUBE ,DAILYMOTION.
@ericssonro Looks like a standard righty 6-string being played by a lefty. I definitely feel for lefty players; it seems your only options are to either pay through the nose for a lefty model (if you can hunt one down), or learn to play righty.
@bricknuts Yeah, Funny how Haslip plays left handed on a bass that's strung right handed, and Will Kennedy sits at a "right handed" drum set but sort of plays left handed.
6 Strings the wrong way round on a left hand bass, thats got to be awkward to get your head around, if ever you need to switch instruments in a giffy!!!!! Groovy....
This song is so fine. Will Kennedy's drumming is precise, subtle and groovy. I love the piano at the beginning and the huge bass and sax sound when they go into the chorus. What a beauty.. just....damn...
Thats the studio album, but this live version kicks so much ass. The studio version of Jacket Town is unreal though. Its one of my favorite fusion tunes.
Yo Vstyle, I was responding to someone else who was joking bout Lionel Richie. Was not meant as a joke when I said that Lionel was Sax player, because he really is and or was with The Commodores.
Sono troppo stonziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mi fanno sentire troppo di fottere .... Grandiosi mitici stupendo questo pezzo altro ke paradiso.... mi sento proprio un dio con questo pezzo MITICI W YELLOW JACKETS !!!! E VIVA LA MUSICA
Great great video! Stereo sound's great! THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Jimmy Haslip and Russell Ferrante are my fav on this group, but anyway Bob and Marcus (who for some reason isn't here) are just amazing musicians as well.
Wonderful clip! But you all forget the Big Brain of the group: Russell Ferrante! He´s the one who´s often arrange and write the wonderful songs... So amazing on keys. But as an bass player my self i love Haslips play too! Loves Yellowjackets since i first heard them in the 80:s.
2:08 seems to be Haslips only burning fast lick. I've heard him use it in a couple different songs and I dont know of anything else he plays that ripping...love the band. Correct me if im wrong
I especially like them with Will on the drums. Could you post "Invisible People"... track #8 on Greenhouse. The audio sucks on the only one that's posted.
The Yellowjackets are one of my favorites. They remain extremely consistent in both their writing/arrangements and their performance! Thanks for sharing this one.
