Jesse van Ruller: Have a Heart

[alxparas1]

Amazing TRIO!Poetic Bass Player!!!

[bradley1107]

I understands frustrations that some have over the historical trend of White musicians "stealing" Black ideas and boxing out Black people, its true I think this music has to do with identity, something African Americans have had to largely create for themselves in the US.Thats not to be taken lightly.On a personal note though, many aspects of African American culture have found their way into my identity though I am white. To me color is nothin but to society it is &affects people remember that

[thechallengeresponse]

Excellent performance!

[OmaKahn]

speechless

[jazzcornejorn]

Complete Tasteful phrasilng!!!

[jzguru1]

Hey Jesse, Steve Giordano here.. I really like your playing. 

[Hoopermazing]

Where would white folks be if black people didn't keep inventing new musical genres for them to shamelessly misappropriate?

[HenriVanDenBerg]

@Hoopermazing Seriously, what's your point? Just enjoy the fucking music.

[gr0mithtimon]

@Hoopermazing

Where would the world be without stupified peasants like yourself spreading bigotry and tribablism?

[Hoopermazing]

@gr0mithtimon Go fuck yourself, asshole. You vile murderous bastards are responsible for every evil in the world.

[Vivitrax]

@Hoopermazing "REALLY? I'd absolutely LOVE to know what YOU invented. What did YOU personally bring to the table? Associating yourself with an elite group of brilliant composers because you share their race is the purest form of ignorance. Don't get it twisted. That would be like me claiming where would black people be without white people's invention of the airplane, cures for disease, etc. As if because I'm white I have anything to do with it. Real music is raceless, ageless, and timeless.

[gr0mithtimon]

@Hoopermazing

Don't you see even a tiny bit of irony in arguing that white people shouldn't play jazz because they stole it from the blacks by being racist?

[Hoopermazing]

@Vivitrax ... vigorously.

[Hoopermazing]

@Vivitrax ... and while you're at it, i.e. fucking yourself, you might want to read up on how to compose a valid analogy.

[Vivitrax]

@Hoopermazing Its sad broken minded Individuals like you exist.  But lets play. Valid analogies for you. Do you know how many black gospel pianists I know personally who admit to borrowing heavily from Chopin, Bach, Motzart? The inventor of the piano was white, same for the first 6 string guitar, electric guitar, Recording period comes from whites. Multi-track as well - all of which would forward progress into sampling - used heavily in hip hop.

[Vivitrax]

@Hoopermazing Jazz as we all know it today and even at the very beginning is a conglomeration of a LOT of different groups of individuals. I'm going to quit wasting my time trying to enlighten a fool like yourself. All I hear from your side is "Wah white people stole black music and forced them out of genres" If blacks are the originators who are so great how is it possible for them to get FORCED OUT of a genre they created? YOU'RE IGNORANT. Keep crying and adding hot air to the world.

[Vivitrax]

@Hoopermazing You're ignorant, feeble mind is really cute though. "Blacks create all the good stuff in the world, and since I'm black, by my calculations, I equal greatness too! I'm better than whites." Its funny how you exhume all the negative stereotypes. Im going to end it with this, Great Music is Raceless, Ageless, and Timeless. But go ahead keep finding white jazz musicians on youtube and profess your ethnocentrism to the world jack!

[uwakiRamen]

@Vivitrax Thank you.

[nachojazzroman]

exelente que marca es la guitar

[euriginal]

Met Driekwartsmaat ritmiek opent zich een nieuw motief,oorspronkelijk en authentiek,voor een eigen methodiek.

[VeryAnnoyedIdiot]

Man, music can go deep.

[Pablotherapidone]

Itn't this guy who played in one Pat Martino's record once? Btw, excepcional bass player!! :)

[lwoods95757]

It's nice to hear some good guitar playing for once.

[PSIchiater]

Veryvery sophisticated PSIchiatric guitear!

[jazzlefty]

kevinn bacon?

[steveey251]

Definitely looks like him. haha great playing though!

[3dfakejesus]

Exceptional. I like his guitar, it was put together from old bamboo slide rules from the Dutch polytechnique. (jk)

[emmadet]

Nice playing. Bass player's a bit restless. Nice shirt.

[joopwolters123]

GREAT....

[carstenneugebauer]

nothing short of amazing, this guitarist. and extremely underrated, if you ask me. i'll take him over, say, ben monder or kurt rosenwinkel any time of the day - which is of course purely a matter of taste, though, as both of them are, of course, fantastic guitarists in their own right, too (no need to mention that, actually). but jesse's playing is just so smooth and tasteful, reminds me a bit of a crossbreed between pat metheny and peter bernstein, actually. just - wow!

[jazzpertube]

Great playing.. ugly shirt though

[younkang]

You must be a woman

[fluffybal]

good musicians always dress bad lol

[weskoki]

Not Miles!

[NJlo]

Or Hargrove ;)

[rozebabyolifantje]

DAMN you're right. ;) Couldn't agree more.

But furthermore, most musicians indeed dress like they're permanently in a vietnamese prison.

Just look at Joe Lovano, he's one of the worst. He's always got this smell of cheap soap hanging around of him.

[lionqueen11]

piece of art!

[sagius91]

visitate il suo space ce il primo pezzo che è un qualcosa di anormale... great guitarist 5 stars

[vitgit]

Great guitarist!!!!

[chaoticstructure]

beautiful work. loved it!

[Perhapsy]

for my money's worth, he's the best out there... magnificent.

[Marjoleintje]

nice! But when was this recorded? It must be a while ago seeing Martijn Vink and Frans van der Hoeven.. They look pretty young.

[joopwolters123]

brilliant!!

[M0RENA007]

great video...beautiful music..

awesome performance.!

[hanjomorren]

Whatelse is there to say about this group than WOW. I Have seen them live on several occasions as a trio or a larger combo. Always great music. No doubt about it.

[pixaninny]

I can see how the mistake was made (especially as Jesse has recorded and performs both tunes) but this isn't 'Con Alma'.

[fluffybal]

con alma means the same as have a heart..thought

[bradley1107]

not really. It means "with soul"

[davens99]

Great waltz! I love how the melody is passed around. I do hear a little Raney influence in there. Great playing all around.
