[rajinirulez]

i can see that bill knows wat is happening so i am sure he knows how to play as well.

[rajinirulez]

[boomtao]

Who is the bass-player?

[musicismymotive]

apparently one of the strings popped on the guitarists guitar. Just heard Cosby mention that in a podcast

[BackwardsMoney08]

He can piano and drums and he's a composer as well. The man is so talented in so many things!

JELLO BRAND PUDDING CAMILLE

[Navigationism]

Wow! That's Al Foster on drums :)

[Vitruvian42]

DON PULLEN!!!!!

...and words to that effect.

[oneluv72]

I remember this.......

[MegaASHENAFI]

Can you say, "free-form' funk?

[subtoner]

who's the lame dude in white blocking the view of the musicians?

Don Pullen is still the greatest!

and Shorty is still from outer space funk!!!!!!

[musicismymotive]

@subtoner lol that would be bill cosby.....the one who wrote this piece. i think he has a right to sit there if he wants.

[subtoner]

who's the lame dude in white blocking the view of the musicians?

Don Pullen is still the greatest!

[MrTramaine22]

bill cosby is sick on the set

[ebbtuber]

Guitar player not even ready for his solo .. .. over distorted when he finally catches up .. .. Bill tried to make the best of a bad situation .. .. "Position Open; Guitar player, must know jazz, must be warmed up and ready to go BEFORE rest of the band, .. .."

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I didn't know that Johnny Depp had some actual talent.

[lindseyblair]

Guitar player is jive



[Miel555]

The lineup is pushed so far down in the comments. I thought I'd mention it again. David Murray on tenor sax; Don Pullen on piano; Sonny Sharock on guitar; Mark Egan on bass, and Al Foster on drums.

[vtmike13]

LOL@ that guitar solo

[rdnzl23]

This guitarist is among the worst I've ever heard. And his tone is...not good. Was this the first time he picked up a guitar? Is it some sort of joke? Or is it adding to a sinister/questionable kind of free jazz esthetic??

[ThePunkjaz]

@rdnzl23 Thats Sonny Sharrock, His "tone" is a Les Paul custom plugged into a Marshall. He's Carlos Santana's favorite guitarist. I'll put his discography up against yours.

[yuoytr]

the guitarist....is....bad

[pullom19]

If you can find it out there. Bill Cosby does in fact play the drums. Try late 70's or early 80's playboy jazz fest when he hosted

[puujisan]

Free form stuff over a groove. That is totally cool!! Sonny Sharrock...king of texture!!

[TheJosh1111111111111]

that guitar playing was........."interesting"

[nuudge01]

that white guy plays a mean bass!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Boring. 

[newrisingsun3216]

hey,sonny sharrock was a great guitarist who was not afraid to take chances,take a look at some of his other clips oh youtube.

[REALITYfromTRUTH]

That guitar player is possibly the biggest joke I've ever seen!

[zunzemma]

good grief!!!!

[chadamcgrath]

Okay this video it starting to piss me off. Only the most developed musical minds should be allowed to rise to the position of director. Bill is just a novelty. And what the heck is whit the guitar player??? Did he just start taking lessons on youtube or something.

[Obiwannabe]

Bill Cosby has been a jazz drummer since the 50's. I hear he is actually quite good.

[chadamcgrath]

At 4:44 he's thinking "Jesus! Am I gunna have to kick this guy out of the band!?"

[Soul74]

I remember looking for this when Youtube first came out. Thanks for putting up, I remember seeing this when it originally aired.

[barrtok]

oh well, and Sonny Sharrock & Mark Egan...

[barrtok]

and David Murray!

[barrtok]

Good grief! Al Foster on drums!

[barrtok]

Omg Don Pullen on the piano, incredible!

Recognizible from the very first notes!

Thanks for the upload!

[downthefaith]

It's too bad they had a lame ass on guitar.

Cause jazz guitar is awesome for sure.

 Bill does play.

[downthefaith]

Eat a bowl of dicks you fucker lipped cock hat

[Soul74]

Pretty clever. Sonny played with Miles (among many others) and you are a loser making anonymous comments on the internet. Good luck with that!

[un1d3n]

That guitar player looks like he has no idea what hes doing... Oher than that, the session was awesome!

[Romovisque]

Is there anything on tv similar to this?

[Knk082]

I once heard him make a joke about playing drums, is that what he plays ?

[boricuajazzz8]

I think he plays the cowbell or something like that... There's a saying in the biz, "thoughs who can't play form groups and make themselves musical leader..." Ha, Ha, Ha,

[millsbrothers]

I THINK HE DOES PLAY THE DRUM!!

[JusticeConstantine]

@Knk082 Yes, Bill Cosby was a drummer. Type Bill Cosby and Sonny Stitt on YouTube.

[Knk082]

I thought bill played an instrument too, or did he ?

[boricuajazzz8]

No the guy is just a wannabe musician with alot of money...

[donny4ggg]

@boricuajazzz8 no sir Bill Cosby Is a drummer I have his record, the theme music for his shows was written and composed by him, I got all his music, he's actually very serious Jazz drummer.

[Knk082]

mad skills on the piano man

[boricuajazzz8]

Yes, the man can play...
