Holy Shit! Just when I'd given up hope of getting excited over new jazz......this is ESP jazz....as funky & groovy as it's possible to get....AND a brilliant bass solo.HOLY COW!

@andyboy28353 my exact thoughts : )

@absolutlahmi I noticed a few comments questioning the time signature so I figured I'd give my two cents. Maybe it's cuz I'm a drummer but these rhythms really intrigued me.

But I hear what you're saying. While jazz isn't one of my most dominant genres, I do understand the detrimental effect of complexity for the sake of complexity; rarely is the result positive. However, figuring out that this trio is playing a great piece within such an intricate time only makes me appreciate them more.

@thirdeye3 Not to devalue your assessment here, but.. why does this stuff even matter in the face of this incredible PERFORMANCE. These kinds of mathematical interpretations of jazz has done so much damage to its image and ability to reach wider audiences. Let the music be the music.

Time Signature

For the first part where there are two alternating sets rhythms, counting all 16th notes, I get:

1st set = 9, 9, 9, 8

2nd set = 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4

Breaking down a bit more, the 9's are made up of 5 16th's + 4 16th's. I personally feel that part in 9, but each 9 I wrote can be replaced with 5, 4.

Both sets add up to 35 16th's total. Bpm is about 108

Anyone agree?
