Give sax player some lovin' guys.
Elan is the real deal!!!
Can anyone tell me what are the cords that the keyboard player uses during his solo? To me they seem; A7sus, Db7 sus, Ab7maj, Db7/ 9. Sorry for my english. Thanks Maurizio
Every single one of these instruments is pure audio porn, amazing to listen to.
Surething!
Yeah, the sound quality is awesome and the equalization is so well done
Ha,ha,ha,ha,audio porn🎶🎶🎶✊✊✊👍👍👍😆😅😄🤣🤣🤣🦅🦅🦅🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶
Herbie Hancock gave the world This, Watermelon Man, Canteloup Island, and said... THERE YOU GO, TAKE IT, HAVE HAS MUCH FUN AS YOU WANT BUT BRING IT BACK BEFORE YOU FINISH.
isnt miles davis so what?
yep it is (edited!)
*picks up guitar
*listens to this guy
*sets guitar back down
Oh that synth solo! Yess. 💯
I just can't get enough of it I'm a jazz/blues musician as well but you guys are just so groovy all of you have perfect time and you guys have perfect solo ideas musically and rhythmically good job!
Great to hear Grant G. Strech out on guitar. Havent heard much from him since his solo on "feel so. Good" by Chuck Mangione.
This is easily one of the best covers I’ve heard on this song
for all of you guys complaining about the guitar solo, this is grant geissman the same guitarist who soloed on chuck mangione's tune feel so good!
+Joshua Han I love that record, just listened to it yesterday, to find him a day later here is amazing! my ears led me here.....
I never would have placed it but now that you say that, I hear it. He does those little mordent-type things a lot which were in the FSG solo as well.
There are literally no more notes left to play! These guys are in groove and cooking!! That was fun
An amazing group of cats to play with! Thanks Tom for including me! What fun!!!!
-Gary Stanionis
You’re are very truly strongly amazing man!!! The more I see this, the more I find you and Otmaro above. Above and above... thank you my friend. Please, excuse my french.
Dude! Some major funkiness going on there! Rock-steady tempo, wide tone variation with different strokes, huge bottom on that kit and great punchy snare and cutting cymbals. And don't get me started on the snare fills ... Woo hoo!
the guitarist ruined it with all that “out of key” nonsense
@@jfender8023 post the video of you playing … If you knew were well versed in jazz you wouldn’t have made an asinine comment like you just did . All the jazz greats Coltrane … Parker …. Grover Washington… Joe Zawinul …. Miles etc played outta key 🔑. I believe it’s called dissonance look 👀 it up and educate yourself .
Nonesense 'Side-slipping' or side-stepping are methods of playing outside. In one version, one plays only the five "'wrong'" non-scale notes for the given chord and none of the seven scale or three to four chord tones, given that there are twelve notes in the equal tempered scale and heptatonic scales are generally used. Another technique described as sideslipping is the addition of distant ii-V relationships, such as a half-step above the original ii-V. This increases chromatic tension as it first moves away and then towards the tonic.Lastly, side-slipping can be described as playing in a scale a half-step above or below a given chord, before resolving, creating tension and release.This video is none of that! btw Dissonance is the term used to describe musical sounds that build tension. In Western music, dissonant CHORDS involve dissonant intervals. Dissonant intervals include the major and minor second, the major and minor seventh, as well as tritones (any interval of three adjacent whole tones) and certain augmented or diminished intervals. Dissonant sounds demand resolution by a consonant interval,again this solo was none of that!
Total respect! Not only can these cats throw down a nasty groove, but they've done their homework. During Ruiz's keyboard solo, he and Jervonny truly reflect the soul of the Headhunters' original. Super stuff!
Grant Geissman is ridiculous!!! Awesome solo. Great song
Grant Geissman is really amazing, such great licks.
People don’t realize how difficult it is to generate constant creative ideas like Grant (guitar) over seemingly easy almost static chord changes- I find creating great solos over simple funk more difficult than over more complex jazz progressions.
3:55 Love seeing players dig the others' solos
makin' music! p.a. Otmaro Ruiz could put some crazy harmonies on any tune, I imagine. Love his work.
Me too! Hot fingers!!
Super stuff. All the best! Love even doesn't come close. You guys are fucking awesome! (sorry about the swearing)!
Cookin' like a Michelin-starred restaurant. Man, that's some good eatin'! Thank you to all involved for this tasty repast. I just this week discovered the Studio Jams channel, but I have a feeling I'm going to be a regular customer.
I like the original drum beat better..
Yeah Harvey Mason has his shit together.
still the drummer did an outstanding job
Grant Geisman's solo is SO good on this! It's like he can make any notes fit... then he tops it off with some sweet slide playing. His playing throughout is impeccable....with those sustained note fills he uses later, and his little funky chord jabs. Seems all off the top too!
Funnily enough, I thought what he was doing under the sax solo was just as good, if not better!
Just found your channel on this video. Earned my sub immediately! This is hot.
Thanks! Welcome aboard! Our goal is to both inspire and entertain...simple as that. Much appreciation if you help us spread the word. :)
suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubed!
AMAZING GUITAR SOLO, WOWWWWWWWW, AWESOME
SAXDAVEBOY bit shreddy at times imo
the solo guitar is a copy of stratus ( billy coban ) and is poor and repeat and repeat ......no fresh and clean , no have peace ....is poor .
gado agreed.
Unmusical widdling crap. And truly dreadful slide.
That's Grant Geissman. He played with Chuck Mangione for yrs. One of my guitar heros from HS! His soloing is a bit harsh at times but man, great rhythm and fills!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Geissman
Ridiculously good.
I was gonna bust them upside the head if they messed this song up. Nice.
absolutely loved everything, especially the solos and the order you put them in
Wow what an electrifying guitar solo
Licks. Ensamble improvisation.
Anyone know what cymbals those are? I would especially like to get my hands on that ride cymbal
I have been playing this for year, but starting at about 7:00,,,,, I really liked it. Sorry but I am going to copy.
That is the second part of Chameleon...... If you listen to the original vs you will hear these chord changes.........
Thanks for the love.......
Yes I have been playing this for about 20yrs. I prefer my 137 over my 335. I use a martin pedal with a polytone amp
The pianist look like the guy from drake and Josh killing it though🙏
Que bueno... estar disfrutando de este excelente Jam y encontrarte por Sorpresa a un Talentoso Compatriota VENEZOLANO... el Gran OTMARO RUIZ... !!! Un Saludo y Reconocimiento a una carrera brillante como MUSICO y Tecladista...!!!
Such sweet tone Grant gets out of that guitar! Nice job on this funky favorite. All the guys kickin' on this one.
sick guitar solo!
Mexican patton oswalt is an amazing player
Top shelf...each and every player...serious talent! Thank you for sharing.
I sure did and it sure was!!! Thanks for the kindness my brother!
-G
I really love drums sound.especially snare is so great tone
Me too
Well done, boys. Each one is a star.
OMG what a beat Everyone is great. love this with my heart and soul
That shit was funky!
damn right son!!
Grant Geissman must have been saving that one up for a long time!
That was great! Loved the slide on the solo
You can tell the bass is good when it shakes the cymbals
Sax seems to be a big bell stone series maybe a raven not 100% sure tho for sure cannonball. Anyways let er rip tater chip
GRANT-
SUPER 400
GIVE IT ALL U GOT.....😁👍
It may be -
G.G. ?
- THANX - ...
Either way 😼 !
It was AWESOOOOOME!!!!
Do you have any ITunes or somewhere I can get this?
Thx
For a second I thought "Why is my man playing a bass clarinet?"
The old man at the guitar is killing it wow
But he should know when to stop :)
@Martin G What is a riff? A phrase? pretty sure every solo is made up of phrases
J. Andrew De Guzman,
So, the joke he made at Norman’s Rare Guitars went over your head, eh? Grant Geissman is the real deal. You don’t make more than ten albums and play with artists like Quincy Jones just knowing three riffs. It’s just the opposite. He made the joke because he’s a VERY capable musician who has nothing to prove. His bio is on Wikipedia.
@Martin G Seriously?
Grant has been killing it since the 70's!!
That was great music everyone was on key 👍👍
saludos a Otmaro Ruiz desde venezuela
everybody's a crictic.are you an amazing musician?well if not shut up!.appriciate their work.
Necromanicon Jigg You can appreciate work but still not like it. And you don't have to be a great musician to have an opinion on music. Just like you don't have to be Gordon Ramsay to say that a dish is bad. Even then, it's up to the individual opinion of people to say whether it's a good dish or not.
I am so sorry I did not follow my music career after listening to this, good jamming. They found the flow and road it.
Es muuuy Grande Grant Geissman !!!
💯 outstanding!!!
I love those piano chords that start around 2:37
Awesome! I love this tune and these guys 'nailed it'! As a guitarist I totally dig the tone grant gets from that beautiful Gibson guitar! Jam on!
Too good to be ignored....great music guys 👍
👍💪
Holy fuck that slide slid up on me!! So rippin'.
😀👍💙
we played this in high school when it came out...starsky and hutch theme reeks of this.
Super! 👍
Lick from 2:26-2:28 - YIIIIIIHÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ!!!!!!!!!
I gotta see where this Otmaro Ruiz is workin' and what records he's on. This is like the 3rd jam i've heard him on and he's a CAT.... Dude is playing interesting-solid solos! And then his comping is the sh*t too.
Oh, and then.... Jervonny Collier-Damn.... loved him in Bruce Hornsby's band, and STILL love his stuff. What feel!
Otmaro is on a live Jing Chi album with Robben Ford, Jimmy Haslip and Vinny Colaiuta. He is also on a good jam (on youtube) with Allen Hinds, Abe Laboriel doing The Chicken. He pops up here and there. His solos are always great.
Absolute truth! And everyone should hear that take on the Chicken!
that was fun
///nice!
The music of my teenage years. And I'm only 25 :D
reminds of jazz band man back in high school. Great song
Damn, I'm in heaven listening to this jam, and J.V. Collier!
This lineup is so fire
Otmaro on the other hand has a better handle on the story he's telling.....
Perfect 👍👍
What a groove! with a fantastic sound! (the drums are just fine, thanks to Gary Stanionis... and the sound engineer, very nice snare!). I love the feel of the whole band, who gives honour to Hancock's chameleon with a new taste. Indeed, Otmaro Ruiz solo (kb) (nice harmonic progression in a jazzy funk spirit) with Jervonny Collier (b) puts us in the groove and sound of the seventies, it's outstanding! What love (or a musical orgasm) deeply is: each one taking pleasure with others to reach, touch and go over the limit: then Ruiz's (tapping chordings) and Geissman's (bend loop embellishing voicings) way to support Elan trotman's big uprising sax solo yields an overwhelming effect!
Waoouuuhhhh boooooommmm booooooommmm :)
Man, what a GREAT job!
Great bunch of musicians jamming a classic!
My favorite Herbie album… and this is done right!
I heard some feel so good licks right there hahahahahha
Hope you had a good time Gary! Looks like you did. Great jam.
Love Otmaro Ruiz ❤️❤️🙏🙏
top class work all round from these brilliant musos!
Cooking from first to last note! Standing Ovation in order
That performance awesome congrats and straight ahead!
Grant should play with tower of power..
this is sooo great!
ce morceau d'herbie hancock est sans cesse réinventé, toujours avec bonheur !!
What horn is the tenor saxophonist playing on?
Looks like a Cannonball
Fuck!!! That just cooks!!!!
What's that lick called? The one at @3:16
Otmaro Ruiz is a gem.
Some nice vibes. I feel like the band could support the soloist more, especially throughout the guitar solo. Felt like they left him just hanging there, dynamically and energetically speaking.
Agreed. e.g. at 3:04 and 3:30 there's a step up in energy where it would be nice for the drums and keyboard to respond.
@@paulgibby6932 they were probably thinking that the guitarist got lost and it was a blown take.
Whew Grant Geisman on guitar. A legend. His playin makes me "Feel So Good"
Sorry I could not resist. On top of my favorite pickers list for sure.All these cats are top notch studio sausages!
grant kicks ass
Yep .. he still does ... Feels So Good was my initiation to jazz guitar
TASTEEE
Chicos!!! Superrrrr❤
Seeing a lot of critics in the comment section. Nothing wrong with that, but I thought this was a fun jam. Great stuff!
that was fucking epic
Bad to the bone..... in a good way. Lol
wow.......just...wow........
Very nicely done!
