[turnerwarehouse]

video response:

watch?v=Ft5GvxyCSvY

[TheRedlah]

This rhythm section got the beat on lock fo sure!

[basstaman79]

4 deaf people who didn't like it looooool.

[ThePhodut]

I think Mos Def has an interesting voice. Honestly, I don't think you have to be good at singing to be a good singer. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense, but when people start to care about how good of a singer someone is I think the signing in general loses its meaning. Just my opinion, not explained very well.

[ldpoetess]

One of my FAVES! Beautiful!

[keyemup]

5:44 on out is the THEE dopest groove EVER!!

[yahswill76r]

The So Real and talented Mos Def and The Robert Glasper Experiment. Shaking things up!

[squiresuzuki]

Nice! I have the same keyboard.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

ah!! mos def! hahaha yus.

[dls27]

Man this just put me in a mood for real.....gotta love good music

[ronkopald]

I think I just had a brain explosion when I started watching this. Is it legal to have this much talent on stage at the same time?

[rosskibossanova]

this is awsome

[grazer770]

am looking for a song called "sincerely yours" by thefoundationlive project.

can anyone help PLEASE. thanks

[ShaneFitzJam]

this is why i love music, and jazz

[Super11feb]

talent, hip hop jazz musicians. I love the fact the Mos D is so proud of his roots.

[mzbab]

Man, this song NEEDS to be featured on The Boondocks next season....

[Tookrunck27727]

where can i download the mp3 i know that have one for this that killed this man jon jon webb beast

[greatgiginthesky9898]

Damn. This is one of those videos where you REALLY wish you could have been there to just LIVE and be one with that moment.

[drummeroulis93]

hey where I can find their music?

[Moog167]

@drummeroulis93 any of Robert Glasper's albums have these guys on the albums. Look for Robert's new album "Double Booked"

[vetrix]

come on youtube cover this song

[holygroove2]

Ahhh I miss this vid. Beautiful vibe.

@niels1111 THANK YOU!!! I don't play piano but It's good to learn about this sound.

[jm31563]

This Mos Def live set inspires me...I'm a musician. I gotta get out to some nightclub jam sessions and start vibin' again!

[sakura0emma]

Who is the Bass Player?

[Tookrunck27727]

@sakura0emma jon jon webb

[jrock162000]

chills

[trueJB00]

what happened to live instrumentation like this man? forget the sold out shows and packed in arenas and lets get back to the fundamentals

...prayin someone from detroit/dilla click comes to dc

[seboufdu59]

I just come back from a live of robert glasper experiment in paris. It was good as fuck, rob g. and Chris dada just kill this. and Thanks for the J Dilla Tribute at the end. RIP J DILLA.

[twobillies]

seeing Robert Glasper in Manchester Nov....can't wait!!!!

[Bozkicksyourface]

@twobillies Where's Rob Glasper playing?

[GaroTanzi]

the truth....

[deadarm66]

@bryanisadeadman Thanks for the info. Much Appreciative. Peace.

[deadarm66]

Where can I pick this up?

[jaytravis8210]

This is very refreshing. I remember this beat from Common's "Like Water For Chocolate" album. Classic.

[birdlivesforever]

I want to hear an MC verse to BeBop....that would be the shit! imagine Mos Def actually versing over a thelonious monk song, like "Well You Needn't?"

[seboufdu59]

RIP Dilla

[fooloof]

turn that bass up!!!!! these niggaz is killin it....

it was dope until Mos came on. Not too often I would consider him the weak link. Get Jill Scott or Georgia Anne Muldrow on this.

[seboufdu59]

RIP Dilla Dawg

[13jazzman]

How does Chris get that cymbal sound

[prezil17]

does ANYBODY know how chris dave gets that sound from his snare!!!?? its sooo crisp!!

ps. 0:44 CIRCLE PIT!!!

[FaithIsAccidental]

@prezil17 He muffles it by placing a small towel over half of the snare, from what I've seen on some videos.

[drumsandivory]

hey anybody know what kind of keyboard robert glasper is using?

[egorham2006]

@drumsandivory -yamaha motif latest model M08?

[LodoGrdzak]

Im a definite Mos Def fan. In fact, I'd put Black on Both Sides in my Top 10 all-time Hip-Hop records. Love the guy! But like Kanye, he's a surprisingly bad singer. That's some nasty tone when he sings. But when he raps?--that's the top-notch shit!!!

[EYTMusic]

@LodoGrdzak I Love it when he sings. One of the greatest artists. Even when ain't hittin every note.

[LodoGrdzak]

@EYTMusic Okay.

[goose3249]

@LodoGrdzak but unlike kanye, he doesn't suck fat cock

[LodoGrdzak]

@goose3249 Uh,...okay.

[gpitts08]

@LodoGrdzak It's like you know Mos Def is a bad singer, but it's one of those establised tones to where when he starts singing, you know its him....my opinion.

[LodoGrdzak]

@gpitts08 Yeah, okay. He's definitely got the power of personality working for him. "A voice," you might say, even if its not a singing voice. Like I said, Kanye's a terrible singer too--surprisingly bad really. But he's still the best pop artist out there.

[kiyokiyo1165]

あんたら最高だ！！

[IMNOTUURNOTME]

yoyyoyoyoy. ABSOLUTELY BANANAS!!!

[maxpowers20]

track is Robert Glasper - J Dillalude

[hallork]

is this a cover of an old joint? whats it called, who did the origional?

[timberland215]

its off of Commons album Like Water For Chocolate and Dillas on that Joint!!!

[Hetion]

@hallork

Common did the original on Like Water For Chocolate

[TheZeldaNerd]

@hallork Common's Like Water for Chocolate, prod by J Dilla, not Robert Glasper. Though he includes it in J Dillalude

[soursourapples]

some old skool emcee-ing from mos def, just keeping the party goin!

[jnixon88]

[osugrad05]

[crunkmu]

dat nigga rob ugli at 8:00 lmao

[skrbeleven]

That was incredible.... is it some kind of tribute to Monk???

[drmad21]

goddamn it's so fresh, it gives me the chills. To know that they were supposed to come together in Montreal but they didn't ....ahhhh SH!t!!!! Ultimate shot outs to Dilla!  RIP!!

"It's the thelonius super microphonist, you know us, this rap shit, we 'bout to own it!"

[lionelzeus]

@drmad21 yeah man that shit pissed me off oh well!

[vonHerzogenburg]

@ johnnymitch74: First, he starts with a bass riff that circles around Eb. Then he adds an Gb major7, so that results into an Eb minor7, while he moves the Gb major 7 a whole note higher to an Ab major 7, then back. Then he transposes the whole thing to Gb.

[johnnymitch74]

wow thanks a ton bro!

[vonHerzogenburg]

You´re welcome, thats my job.

[niels1111]

Eb-7 F-7/Eb Gb-7 Ab-/Gb

[DatOnlyNana]

[tame1999]

[bigchip68]

This joint is vicious!

[ihkdot]

[Moog167]

These guys,Gadd,Weckl,Chambers,Willi­ams,and Chambers are the reason why I got deep into jazz.....

[dbemusic]

Amazing... Glasper was already such an influence on my playing, but his musical diversity is truly admirable.

[ocbfdog]

Jon-Jon

[sontbly]

whats the name of this band?

[bwilliamstypeish]

The Experiment.... Album coming soon...

[TheRealManzilla]

Woah!!!! Must have. U know if there's a rob glasper/chris dave trio album gonna come out?

[fluid31]

I think that CD Canvas by Robert Glasper was That trio... If you haven't already checked it out you missin out... Listen to Jelly's the Beener... sick ass song folks

[FlowJazz]

Canvas is not with Chris Dave; that's Rob G, Vicente Archer on bass and Damion Reid on drums. I agree dude, Jelly's Da Beaner is crazy, swinging hard.

[mlmw]

so beautiful... so speechless. thank you j dilla. you will live on forever. Good to know there real musician like mos, rob g, who can carry on his legacy. it keep it original keep it smooth. keep the vibe flowing.

[bobbydee30g]

Long live Jay Dee. I like common but like water for chocolate wouldn't have been that great without the ummah on the production end.

[gregoryburrows]

that groove is just so nice. It seems like Chris is playing simpler than usual there, just carrying the groove. Whole band and Mos Def are all there in that pocket.

[prozdrums]

damn robert knows how to pull those keys waaaayyyy behind the beat... just goes to show the difference between those soulful cats that play jazz, and other cats that are just doin what mccoy tyner and herbie were doin back in the day. he has a real understanding between the relationship of hiphop and jazz... really ill... dilla rest in peace...

[prozdrums]

damn Rob knows how to pull those keys waaaayyy behind the beat. amazing... thats the difference between soulful cats that can play jazz, and those cats just tryin to mimic what mccoy tyner and herbie were doin back in the day. he actually understands the relationship between hiphop and jazz... really ill...

[theoedot]

he should have keep the sound on electric piano though.. just me thta run robert e did at 1;55 - 2;00

[dom816]

glasper is the real deal. he can take 4 chords and make that shit groove.

[theoedot]

Chordzz bass line Drum licks and then u got Mos def.. what more can u ask 4 damnn this is groovy damym

[jmr2master]

This is BY FAR MILES MILES AND MILES groovier then any other Drum clip on freaking YOUTUBE!!!!. I am gonna copy this video and play it to go to sleep!!!!.

[big92swole]

tite...groove

[phmfthacim]

fucking hell man, this shit is so beautiful

[bubbadosi]

i used to work at this shit hole for 2 years. it is a nice venue to go to as a customer, but working there is horrible. the owner was constantly in debt and never paid his employees.

[phmfthacim]

I read reviews that said the service was poor and the food was mediocre

[astralwarrior8]

this is beautiful

[holygroove2]

Glasper changes the harmony and bass line. I went to hear the original version b/c of this version.

It's....nice....it's reeeallly nyce....=)

[jmr2master]

The bands just SICK, I NEED TO FIND THESE JAM SESSIONS!!

[eldowns]

Yo, I don't think I would want this on record if it's just Mos saying "Hey" for 8 minutes. I could dig on just the band, though.

[jmr2master]

Thats the thing, the grooving was so tight, no one in the crowd even cared lol, they all dancing lol.

[organizedblues]

I FEEL YOU! lol

[eai1911]

With jam sessions like this J-Dilla's spirit will continue to live.

[coby1bs]

Yeah Slum Village & Common did do this song. This is one of Mos Def (and co)'s many tribute to Dilla.

Dilla (of Slum Village) produced this for Common & Slum Village.

[fidelyo123]

didnt slum village do a song thelonius also?

[Rugerman205]

You're right "THELONIUS" was how COMMON wanted to Launch SLUM VILLAGE and Jay Dilla (a Soulquarian) on the LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE album (classic material 1 of my all time favorite Albums) gotta have some "Nag Champa(Afro-d. for the World)" but then it's (Thelonius) also the last track on Slum Village's Fantastic Vol. 2

[jmr2master]

I want this on my phone!!!

[neoncollars]

i was there, it was historic

[Medium0Rare]

how could you not rate this with 5 stars?  i know nothing about jazz but i know enough to know that this is off the rails. plus i'm feelin it so...

[JStar1981]

[stunna8907]
