Peter Erskine - Diana Krall - Anthony Wilson - Robert Hurst

[RedRussianRage77]

Holy god, Erskine's fill at 3:05. What an amazing group...

[AlexMPruteanu]

Hot damn! Gimme some whiskey and spicy ass andouille w/rice and beans, to go with Peter's shuffle and Diana's swang.

[jetglo325]

@iancameron402 ....and just what is a jazz person? Ask Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton, Peter Erskine, Christian McBride, Robert Hurst, Ray Brown/Oscar Peterson (when they were here) if she is a Jazz person (if you know who these people are). The only person completely UNQUALIFIED to have an opinion on this topic is you.

Cheers.....

[iancameron402]

@jetglo325 ...actually, I'm uniquely qualified! :D

[jetglo325]

@giguild....Tommy LiPuma has produced many great jazz artists. But really not sure what your point is. Are the other artists he's produced great because he produced them? The great Ray Brown heard her play as a teenager in Nanaimo and took her under his wing. I would imagine it would take a great deal of talent to impress him. Even Oscar Petersen thought she was good. No doubt Tommy L helped, but you have to have the goods to play with the best players in the world.

[DrummerMike86]

@JazzAce340 Gotta Love Night Train .....RIP Oscar

[DrummerMike86]

Gotta love the Oscar Peterson quote at 1:20 - 1:30.......... brilliant!

[giguild]

Just because Google says she's a Jazz person doesn't mean shit! The artists backing Diana are Jazz musicians. Producer Tommy LiPuma crafted her raw talent into something marketable. Without Tommy, Diana would still be doing hotel lounges... Credit to Tommy for molding the greats, Google his name then you will understand why Diana is popular... IMHO she's good, but not good enough, she sings good covers, but she doesn't have the knack to write herself., well nothing worth remembering

[HCICONS]

some of MAYNARD

FERGUSONS best arrangements were when P ERSKINE was on the Drums

[comeacross9]

@HCICONS

I heard Maynard's band in Detroit in1974 or 75. Peter had just joined the band.

Outstanding! Also, Mark Colby from Chicago on tenor.

[Hutzjohn]

Love this version the feeling she puts into her singing and playing, the drums are just perfect, AH HELL they're all simply outstanding ....at the top of their game here.

[57dogsbody]

Hutzjohn , you`ll be telling me next that lady gaga is great because she sells shed loads of records.  krall isn`t even a jazz singer,she`s just easy listening M.O.R. mush ! Listen to some proper singers;Della Reese, Ella,Sarah Vaughan ,Billie Holiday,Etta james etc.YOU DIM MUPPET!! Peter Erskine is brilliant though.

[Hutzjohn]

@57dogsbody Sorry but you are the DIM MUPPET if you don't know Diana Krall is a Jazz person. All you have to do is type her name in to Google. I do like all of the singers you mentioned and Erskine is good. And as for lady Gaga look up (Rockefeller plan to dumb down population) on Google also, that will explain why she's big today and maybe even your comment. But Krall is big because she has real talent.

[57dogsbody]

peter erskine is a stone genius, what the hell is he thinking of playing with this talentless bimbo? he just manages to drag this above elevator muzak!

[Hutzjohn]

@57dogsbody Your not too smart! HE was thinking Gee It would be nice to play with the biggest selling JAZZ musician of the last 10 -15 years-- Diana Krall. And to call her a talentless bimbo makes you an idiot. Please don't respond back I just don't care to talk with stupid people thank-you.

[fillnns]

Yes!!

[Musicaman12]

Hell ya he is he's great I got a the Pleasure to study with him in Clevelandh Ohio in 2009... He told me I knew how to swing on the drums.

I was very happy....

Great times, Great man. Very kind too.

[GriffyFresh]

Whoever posted that Erskine doesn't swing : he is a legend and has played with some of musics biggest names - you haven't. Shut the F up. Erskine is a genius.

[eric33190]

I never realized that they play Splanky around 4:00. I drummed on that song in a big brass band in SW MIch, one of my favorites to play. very cool

[eric33190]

@eric33190 2:00, my bad

[joemikejake]

People who know, that being other musicians, think Diana Krall possesses the best jazz voice in the world AND that her piano playing is nothing short of stellar.

In this cut, she's really feelin' it as are the guys she's playing with. Look at the big ol' Cheshire Cat smiles on all of them about 3/4 of the way through.

With Diana Krall, you get a combination of apparent ease of delivery with massive technical prowess and that is a rare find indeed.

[puppyspud]

How could anyone with an ear at all think Peter doesn't swing his dick off on this? God, there is so much ignorance on here it's so disturbing.

[meril105]

@puppyspud

Hey guys this is no place to spout off your

filthy culture. These are excellent musicians and probably the best. All of them.

where are you in music ratings?

[bourgeoisbrats]

@puppyspud Ignorance is a characteristic that is best jgnored :-) No self-respecting drummer would cast verbal aspersions on Peter's drum playing (I mean finessing). Saying Peter doesn't swing is like saying, Steve Gadd has no groove :-)

[meril105]

@puppyspud You are sick puppyscud.

[fillnns]

@puppyspud Erskine, too great ... and on a small kit! All players top-notch!!

[Tellalca]

Great ending by Peter.

[Storviksbo]

Sounds like she is crying at 3:57

[th3n3wb34t]

Great grooving from all of them. And I must say that the splanky break/ending is just perfect!

[pickandgrinch]

Diana Krall, lightweight. What the heck are you on? You would do well to have spent a quarter of the time she has studying her genre. karrowarro02 you should do a little more research on Diana before you spout off and besides these guys wouldn't take her job if they didn't respect her either. They could certainly be doing other things.

[BH21206]

The past remark about Peter's playing is puzzling. I enjoyed him and the whole group. A good beat thruout.

[electroneumatico]

EXCELENTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FER

[electroneumatico]

Tremendo tema, tremenda interpretación, valió la pena verlo

FER

[57anthony]

always nice to see a band having fun!

thanks for the clip!

[dinottty]

I like Peter's style very much

[karrowarro02]

The fact is this is blues. It's 12 bars, like jerriwitaj said. However the feel used in this can also be described as swing, as shuffle, hell if you think about it you can easily transform it into reggae. However if this is anything, it's just blues. Krall is very pretty but it's a shame that monster musicians like Erskine or the guitar player are wasted on a lightweight like her.

[a7d9]

Erskine probably does what pays off. He does not (however) play too well on this track, neither does the guitarist.

[mensaid]

Simply the best! View my Diana Krall list to listen to 25+ tracks.

[40riddim]

Sweeeet!! I love the way they reaallly slow down the break at the end. A little tongue in cheek. Nice.

[smoukondeuoter]

Erskine: awsome mixture of taste and technique

[ricappon]

erskine monster !!!!

[douceambience]

Man if you don't know what swing is then this clip will teach you the true meaning of the word.

"SWANGIN"

[robjazztorres]

Isn't this blues and not swing? IMO. :)

[jerrywitaj]

this isnt swing dude. 12 bar blues. swing is in 3/4 time.

[dizzypeanut]

You need to not comment about music anymore.

Its quiet time for you.

[jerrywitaj]

Oh did I offend you idiot? Am I wrong? Shut up and mind your own business. And shut me up if you think you can.

[dizzypeanut]

Dude i was commenting on the fact that you know nothing about either swing or 3/4 time. On that basis, you have no authority to tell nobody nothin about music. So before you embarrass yourself again, lets just get with the quiet time making.

[jerrywitaj]

Oh really? How the hell do you know what I know? I know what swing is. Just mind your own business idiot. I know what 3/4, 4/4, or other time sigs mean. Ok dude? Fuck you.

[jayseppie]

Ha ha that's funny! This is a 12 bar blues and it is also swing! Swing can be played in any time signature.  Swing is a feel based on triplets. It has nothing to do with how many beats per bare there are.

[jerrywitaj]

You're totally right. My bad, I was for some stupid reason thinking of a waltz (I have NO idea why) which is of course, in 3/4 time. I should know that, just bein' stupid I guess. But it still isnt swing. Not in the strictest sense. 12 bar blues.

[SeriousPieEnthusiast]

id also classify it as a shuffle

[thegreatbasher]

Man she does sound like a women for sure. She just has a little more grit than some.

[doubts]

Top Notch

[amandaarely]

wonderful!

[Madra93]

Simply great !
