[tomashalandrums]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[willbassyeahsgindo]

a guitarist who slap the guitar and a bassist who use classical guitar right hand tech haha COOl

[bassturkey]

Is that Dave Grusin on keys? Man he rocks! Sax is fine. Lee, what can I say. I think it's Abe Laborial on bass. Tight band.

[Saxmaster1230]

@bassturkey David Benoit on piano

[whatsitallabouthey]

The musicianship and performance is fantastic, but the title of the song itself should be "Diary of an LA elevator - Day 459".

[TheIrishlad12]

[and868]

Ramón Madruga \o/

[jhzab666]

Eric Cartman to the bass player,...." You're black, You can play the bass. Now give me a smooth bassline "

[condor1471]

[gwapongmaniac]

Dave Valentin@ 8:42- Oh, help me GOD.:)

[gwapongmaniac]

[AORCrazy]

No comment.

[tucker10]

Jimmy Johnson did a better job on bass in my opinion. His solo was just superb. This one drags on a bit but the pianist is great!

Haha flutist at 8:43 !

[juninhoBragabass]

[jazzforano]

Seu Madruga na flauta transversal!!

[andrewirobinson]

Just a quiet night in for the lads then.....

[LISTENTODT]

One of the best Rio Funk's on Youtube!

[kinshasaAPP]

Poor ol' Ernie Watts always looks pissed haha

[xThunderThumbsx]

Not a fan of the bass player. Hate his sound, and how he's always staying in the low octaves. But Mr. Ritenour is awesome.

[JazzBass7]

I just love how the spirit of Abe Laboriel's solo changed everything. I'm so glad that drummer joined in and he coined in properly. Not many people reach Abe's age and none the less can do what he do while doing what he loves to do. This guy is truly a blessing. And to my ignorance I actually didn't like him or his playing. Since then, I've grown as a respectable musician and see why he plays why he does. He plays how his soul feels...like a child with candy in one hand and a toy in the other :)

[ZeBoce]

My god ! They are gods of funk music...

[gublhubl]

Just Awesome!! I love it!!! I've saw lee 2009 on the NSJ

[gohuskies583]

Killer bass solo. Abe is da man!

[Bassduden]

Amazing!!!!

But I have ask all you guys:

During the flute and Piano solo, what does the drummer do?

What does he hit to get that crunshy sound?

[fallko76]

he's put a splash cymbal on his snare drum and hits that splash cymbal. Check Johnny Rabb's videos, he uses this a lot. Just type in- johnny rabb namm demo

[Bassduden]

@fallko76 ok, thats really awsome :P

Thanks Fallko76 :D
