@r3ck0rd Yep, Jeff Ballard and Larry Grenadier on bass. This is Brad's most frequently heard trio.

@moviesarealive its not that he doesn't play jazz, its that he does play SMOOTH jazz. Nobody likes smooth jazz.

@shankpeterman

Whatsoever? There's quite a bit going on there, especially after that modulation, that warrants no small amount of acclaim. It's not what it was at the tokyo concert, but that doesn't mean it isn't brilliant. Also, though it is technically a cover, it's by far and away more mehda...

@classicontemporary You're telling me. I can't feel my face after the first A.

@hehateyou1 To beegin with, the jazz community isn't really prone to "hype"; if something isn't worth while people generally ignore it. Second, I'm not sure if you're implying some lack of musicianship in his playing, but if you are, I can tell you from 1st hand experience that he's incredibly we...

I find this anything but relaxing. It's something more along the lines of intensely resigned. It seems we've lost the ability to find that deep intensity that resides within subtlety.

I feel like this show had great potential; a very interesting and obscured situation, and characters to match. It just seems like they crammed it into the short 13 episode period. Though the characters get back story, they're not really explored any further, they just disappear. You'd think this ...

@kirezar It's a joke, don't be so sensitive.

However, my dislike of Maroon 5 has less to do with their style than it does their total lack of musicianship. So when I say "you probably like Maroon 5", I mean your musical interests are probably restricted to mainstream conventions, epitomized by ...

God, the way her thumb touches that D# (5:32). . . absolutely melting.

@pedrosteve

Yeah, you're right. His lines would sound a lot cleaner if he did use it.

STILL waiting. Just as eagerly, mind you.

Bob, you are a great man. I promise to work out my legit stuff, so as not to disgrace you again with my feeble attempts at Kopprasch.

@cholocharile I think he means the killing voicings basie pounds into one's soul.

@LadyGagaBigCrowd Lady GaGa is hardly an artist; at best an entertainer. A sex clown who baffles the public into an orgiastic haze of primal base and animal intoxication. Of course, she's no different from any of the other doubly formulaic "artists" on the scene.

Black Thought is so deft with those lyrics and articulation. His musical knowledge is plain as day in this track.

Hehe, Donna Lee at 0:06.

@AnimaMiaPerdona

I understand defending your taste from such harsh criticism, but your asserting that something could be objectively more emotionally effective or profound is what got me going. But yeah, I can see how "just listen to Chopin" could get under someone's skin too. Merry Christmas an...

Who knew george carlin could kill it like that?

@dumena

Oh god. Why is it I've got to be some holed up, mad at the world, crushed by a woman, anal plank donning tightass to not have cared for this movie? And why is it no one can understand the real point of the original comment was reverence for the incredible 6 minutes of music here presente...

If communism is a harmful outgrowth of philisophy, harmful enough to consider its source harmful, then what of the manhattan project?

The years dedicated to moral philosophy were not so much a waste as deep insight into the human condition. We moved on from religion to science because of philoso...
