It sounds clean and tight to me. I think the thing that's bothering you is the meter, which they changed here by making it one eighth-note longer (2+2+2+3). Sure, it's a little harder to snap your fingers to, but that's not the point here. The drums are closest to the video camera, so they sound louder. You say it sounds like some mixed up jazz interpretation- that's because it IS! Maybe jazz trios aren't your kind of music, but try not to dismiss something you don't know about.

with all due respect and no disrespect im 36 i started in orchestra in 1985 im 36 and im still playing bass..in music there are counts for time common time you name it..this music in its whole to me is a mess, if i listen to each instruemtn they are hitting the right note3s its the time is off..now if this is a new thing people like doing thats great but its not an art i support, in my 24 years ive played and been exposed to many differnt art forms..but this isnt anything i coul;d deal with.

Hey, I'm sure you know a lot about music. No arguments there. I'm just suggesting that maybe this might not be the kind of music you have a lot of experience with. (Have you played a lot of music with "additive meter"? or in a jazz trio such as this?) If not, then it might be hard to tell what's happening meter-wise.  This group has changed the song from its original meter (4/4) to an irregular meter (2+2+2+3/8). The key signature is irregular, but they are playing in time with it.

its ok...i counsil peace

man gotta love all the haters... fuck them tim! sound good man i see what your trying to emphasize on the melody that everyone is bitchin about... the video doesnt have the best sound quality which doesnt deal well for lots of active drumming and lots of notes... your very on top of the beat which makes it feel like its moving forward or rushing a bit but i beleive thats what your going for.. word man i dont necesarily phrase like that so props to you homey...fuck the haters and keep playing.

great arrangement! i love the creative play with the time, kinda trips you up when you're used to the original haha. wish i could hear more bass!

piano is a little little bit too slow and the drummers beat is wayyyyy to fast.

it just doesnt sound right together.

just my .02

ur clearly not a musician...its called rhythm. the reason why it sounds off is because its not in the normal 4/4 signature.

this is a great arrangement!

Gosh you people are so fing closeminded.  Jazz is supposed to do the unexpected. This is an amazing arrangement. What is sloppy about it? Sounds like the music sounds exactly how he wanted it to sound. Ugh.

Agreed
