One of the coolest things I’ve been told about jazz is that the better you are as a player, the better experts sound. I’ve been called a talented musician but I am absolutely, unabashedly ecstatic to hear music that I can barely understand what’s happening. The piano and that sax solo mostly sound like random chaos and it excites me to know there’s structure and intent and beauty in there, waiting to be understood by the skill I have yet to achieve.
Kenny Garrett and Sounds From The Ancestors: Tiny Desk Concert
simple gospel influenced groove turns into a party; got me out of my seat pretty quick, couldn’t sit still; lots of subtle polyrhythmic goodness in the background.
catchy tune without words; complex drumming and rhythms but flows easy; video and imagery kind of absurd and hilarious with some famous figures doing a cameo.
