Awesome. I love how easily he slides into shred mode. That's a classic, once in a lifetime, performance, right there.

I'm gonna go home and put on "Love Devotion Surrender"

I like how youtube's framerate can't handle his playing and it looks like his fingers are blurring together.

that's not youtube. his fingers actually ARE blurring together, he's playing so fast.

For those who enjoy improvised piano ensemble playing, check out "Sweeter Than The Day"- one of their recent shows in Seattle is seeding right now at bt.etree. Very tasty.

Sweeter Than The Day, also known, in their fully electric iteration, as Zony Mash. This same show is also being seeded at dimeadozen.org under the "Jazz" category....

Live (on videotape) with the tonight show band? even if he came back everyday for a week, each one is a once-in-a-lifetime performance.

[sls.stormyrider]

gotcha - I thought you meant the quality of JM's solo in particular. Looking at the big picture, your right.

Its like he's so fast his fingers are travelling into the future to play more notes

[rowjimmy]

They travel into the future, find the right note and then return and deliver the goods.

Does anyone here have BET's Jazz channel?  Its freakin' sweet, they have a show called "Studio Jams" where its just mad people in a studio jamming... it was so sick.  last night they had a drummer, electric violin, bass, sax, keys, guitar.  i can't remember any of their names, but it was so dank. 

[sls.stormyrider]

it's one of the 250 or so channels that we get that I don't watch. perhaps I should.

[rowjimmy]

That's why I stopped paying for all those channels. I don't miss them.

[sls.stormyrider]

agreed. there are a few that we want, but the package comes with a boatload of channels. the only ones we can really pick and choose are the "premium", which we don't get.
