    Dec. 6, 2019 | Abby O'Neill -- This Freddie Gibbs and Madlib Tiny Desk performance was a year in the making, largely because Madlib insisted on playing with El Michels Affair, a vintage funk and soul band based out of New York. But it was worth the wait. When pianist Marco Benevento opened with a delicate, almost jazzy run, it created the perfect opening - and juxtaposition - for hard-hitting emcee, Gibbs to jump in and ride the hell out of that beat.
    From the moment they launched into "Education," a cut off the latest MadGibbs project Bandana, it was obvious Gibbs has spent countless hours honing his style. Meanwhile, Madlib, an enigmatic and reclusive producer known for his analog head-nodders, brought along a small thunder tube and vintage electric bongos circa 1960. Just getting a chance to see him ignited excitement in the NPR crowd.
    But the conclusive jam in this killer set was "Freestyle S***," a track that drips with the smoothness of satin and swagger of the seventies. It and the rest of the set elevated the room for both longtime purists and new fans alike. But the way Gibbs emphatically showed his love for Madlib was just as beautiful to witness. There's little doubt about their deep admiration and appreciation for each other. It was hands down, for me, the best Tiny Desk of the year.

      8:07 The Beat Konducta.
      Konducting Definition:
      Conducting is the art of directing a musical performance, such as an orchestral or choral concert. It has been defined as "the art of directing the simultaneous performance of several players or singers by the use of gesture."[1] The primary duties of the conductor are to interpret the score in a way which reflects the specific indications in that score, set the tempo, ensure correct entries by ensemble members, and "shape" the phrasing where appropriate.[2] Conductors communicate with their musicians primarily through hand gestures, usually with the aid of a baton, and may use other gestures or signals such as eye contact.[3] A conductor usually supplements their direction with verbal instructions to their musicians in rehearsal.[3]

    Mad respect to the horn players (esp. the trumpet) for managing to play that quiet and sit in the mix without overpowering anybody while still managing to retain tone. Horns naturally overpower everything else, and especially in a context that intimate and quiet, it’s hard to play like that.

      I love it when the whole performance is on point. But in an organic way. Everyone is doing their own thing but it somehow fits. You’re absolutely right about Freddie’s fit and how he wore it. Madlib letting the band shine while he just adds the finishing touches with his bongos and shakers. It’s masterful.

      Saw him at the great hall in Toronto years ago... it was a trip lol
      Madlib performing on turntables is less of a set and more of sitting in on his own personal listening session... which was amazing albeit unexpected

      LiveJ5 No not slept on at all. Listening from the Netherlands. There’s just not so many people with a good musical taste. Been listening to Madlib since early 2000’s. And to Gibbs since couvert coup (that track with curren$y)

    I've been following Madlib for 20 years. He introduced me to Freddie Gibbs when they first collaborated and they've created some of my fav music of all time. Super dope set it's so awesome to seem them like this!
