[Thrash0Jazz0Assassin]

what's the name of the piece??

@Thrash0Jazz0Assassin

I don´t know! We had a long discussion about this on that clip, before my old channel was deleted. Do you know the guy behind Coleman?

The video is an excerpt from the documantary "A Bookshelf on Top of the Sky" by Claudia Heuermann (Tzadik DVD), filmed around 2001/2002.

@HolgerXregloH Coleman ? Is not there. Willie Winant and Jim Pugliese on percussion (incl water )

[HolgerXregloH]

@davidwatson

thanks for "Jim Pugliese", but you can see A. Coleman for 2 seconds on the keys at 0:28

That mystery guy is a virtuoso water blubberist! I've never before heard such magnificent water blubbery!

@juanbarros88 excuse me, my friend, first of all its called 4:33 not 3:33, but will forgive you that slight moment of ignorance because we can all make mistakes... and second, music is free and was never intended to be of your personal alike, if you truly preffer to listen to composers that create music for masses instead of truly talented individuals who like to express there own personal feelings, so be it, but dont criticize them comparing them to mass produced individuals like JB.

the only musician in the world that can actually be injuried playing their stuff

@SolvoMonastica No es musica concreta, la musica concreta está realizada apartir de grabaciones

[SolvoMonastica]

this is just Musique Concrete. Not a bad take on it either.

[juanbarros88]

@Borjagonzalo123 Oh come on how is that even... I can't see how your brain interprets a bunch of... musical notes as music. haha jk. my mistake, I know music is subjective and all, and i have the right to express my opinion but i was being kinda harsh. I'm not into this kind of music, i can't see how this is music, but that's just me. And I don't like JB either, I like jazz fusion and jazz in general, but this is too 'avant garde' for my taste.

It's NOT as good as the 'public toilet noctourne #1', my personal favorite
