[chikisan1]

[dkpianist]

OOMPH! Yeah.

[kvg4541]

[Andrewsaxy]

bad swing...fussy...

[davindo91]

[davindo91]

Put WANKERSsimply, for dick heads, this is avante garde swing... If you don't like... FUCK OFF WANKERS!!!!!

[bichomaldito]

I like Gadd's playing but this time I'd say he fails reaching the mood of a Jazz tune. His playing sounds too hard and thick for this. Even the solo is a lil stiff. Reminds me of rock drummers trying to play jazz. =/

[sonicbaz1]

@bichomaldito

I don't think he's aiming at a clean jazz sound, more down and dirty drive, great dynamics too!

[dontdodat00O]

@bichomaldito I think thats just the shuffle along with Gadd heavy style. You know when listening to his swing and latin how solid and heavy it is, and I think it simply shows even more in a shuffle with that heavy 2 and 4. (that trashy ride sure does add some weight as well, am I right brother?)

[ericoschmitt]

eddie's bass has been cut and open.. i like when people play by choice an instrument that would be considered bad by majority. you can play well in any instrument if you feel confortable with it!

my cello had the arm broken twice and i think its awesome.

my flute is totally oxidated and has many colours, minus silver, and still, people who plays it love the sound, including me

for short, an expensive instrument doesnt make the musician better!

[Beatpoet19]

We played this song in marching band when I was in the 9th grade. :-) Love that trashy ride too.

[spaceminers]

ron cuber on sax clueless

[lostfromorion]

[clolom95]

[talkinginmysleep]

[OnTheRoof1]

Who needs a count in anyway?

[jazzrrl]

What A great Steve Gadd and his metric in solos.

[qwikstix3]

[MauroPWA]

[5chr4pp]

lmfao no one but steve gadd could pull off those clothes he always used to wear

[crozzara]

gadd rules... master on putting the right grip and the right groove in the right place, no more, no less.. like a perfect meal.

[TwitchyAllan]

Heh heh, right at the start

"....Steve gadd"

*Oh crap im on, gotta put this smoke out....ummm....ummm.....the floor will do. RIGHT THEN*

[pyannaguy]

Jazzy Blues - Bluesy Jazz....one of the hippest genres ever. Jeez, I wish the corporate puppetmasters hadn't dumbed everything down so much. So many young people can only order what's on the menu and what's on the menu, mostly, is just overproduced, melodically-impoverished crap - and the poor crap-lappers don't know what they're missing.

[drummer1brt2gzs]

the definition of cool!

[Patrickphx11]

KILLER BASS SOUND!!

[MCGEHEE1]

Well done.

[GaryNull]

Gadd is mind blowing.

[smoukondeuoter]

immenso...

[BAMSTEAKproductions]

im wow'd

[Prodigy502]

that's not a trumpet, it's a flugelhorn

[Gorgalisin]

Ya, but maybe he's just switching between Flugelhorn and trumpet and the poster was too lazy to write it on the discription =p

[lolwut71]

ahhh man this is some sweet sound :)

[Antiks72]

With a name like Ack, you've gotta be good.

[officialjulesjazz]

@Antiks72

Yes And he is ive played with him a week ago he was standing behind me and i was playing drums and he blow,s great stuff .... Great Experience!

Im a lucky one!

[Hyggestund]

This is very good!

ROLF HUGO HANSSEN

Priest/rev,

Bergen - Norway

[Patrickphx11]

yea...good and time stayed right there too...nice bass sound..

[JazzmanJibilla]

Gadd and Gomez, now that is a section and a half!

[dontdodat00O]

dude this is a classic Ellington blues... why u gotta be so negative on the tune, man? just chill and listen

[kirk7524875248]

dontdodo000, you're right. I was being too negaitve. Thanks for the correction. Just because I don't enjoy this song is no reason to go off like I did. Sorry 'bout that mate. I'll try my best to be more open-minded. Thanks! -Kirk

[dontdodat00O]

i respect you, Kirk. You're a good man and god bless you

[nimajnebenneb]

@kirk7524875248 damn, that was the most mature comment i've read on youtube i think. kudos man

[catphish454]

ooh thats tasty...

[Solis1112]

this song is easily one of my favorite blues charts

[cuwyl]

You can talk all day about shoulda, woulda, coulda, technique, etc..But the bottom line, is it's all on how you interpret the composition. Go Gadd!

[amardavid79]

steve gadd is a gong show... 4:24

[2dchris]

lol madness :P

[aaronwithajewfro]

Our high school band is doing a stage show for this. It'll be pretty ballin.

[hihats]

gadd diggin' in...

[gonzalezanthony32494]

My middle school jazz band is doing this song. Usually in the melodie after the dotted quarer note, the eighth note is a fall...he doesn't do it. Well whatever. The only reason why we r playing this song is because are band teacher has a major in jazz in FIU. We are the best in the state of florida. Not to rub it in.....but maybe i am..

[paperducksnz]

what do you play?

[gonzalezanthony32494]

2nd Trombone

[d65fitzer]

So good!

[omegasaxyvideo]

Good to See George again. Used to see him during this period at the COTA in Delaware Water Gap, always brought down the house. This band is Hot!

(and that Timko guy ain't to bad either..;-)

[tomtimko]

Oh Yeah! Totally Burnin'. I might watch this band all night! TOM

[JamesRex27]

Best version of this song is Oscar Peterson with Dizzie Gillespie. Almost 14 minutes of music, slowed way down, like a blues jam. This isn't a bad version though.

[eroc70]

eh, i wouldve liked to hear this with a heavy shuffle all the way through, thats when this song sounds great. I mean, thats how it should be played

[stevepozz]

Yeah, For sure  the Double shuffle. Four on the floor and both hands playing shuffle. Better know has the TEXAS SHUFFLE. But Gadd can do whatever he wants!!!!!

[stevegadd124]

lol hes just smokin b4

[MonkeyIsFunky]

this happens to be one of my favourite jazz standards - you guys nailed it... go hard!

[tapistrotan]

Very good Stuff...loved it!!
