I've just discovered this group over the past six weeks. This piece, Every Breath You Take, is wonderful.
Music that generates contrasting opinions and conversation has accomplished it's goal. It is art expressed and captured for others to examine. I like it
music is nothing to talk about... and yet I am doing it :D
You have to be really good to be this bad
Their sense of humour is MARVELLOUS!!!
Or they are so bad, they are good.🤣
This is nice.
I'm reminded of times I've screwed up a performance, just kept going and finally recovered, and a couple of Musicians caught me at my break and said They loved my improvisation.
That was sweet.
Deconstructed, what jazz is, love it.
I want this to be my wedding song.
Usually this group makes me just smile or even giggle at times with their covers. But this version made me laugh so hard. Almost fell down my chair. Am I the only one ?
you're not the only one, it's sad and depressing
it is indeed very badly played …analytically played in a way …
You're not the only one!. First time I heard this, I laughed out loud, until 2:45, when they turned to their true sublime form for a few blissful minutes.
I'm in a cafe now listening to this on my headphones and laughing like an idiot, teary eyed and all
I heard this song many times now and I am still laughing. Every breath you take as a police-song sucks in a certain way. I am pretty sure they actually don't like it ether. They just make fun with it on the highest musical level.
Actually, not a single bad note. Brilliant
Dude did you listen to it? There were sooo many bad notes.
Brilliant musicians. I love how they incorporated a sense of humor in this performance. It is possible to be avant-garde without being dead serious. :D
They should definitely come hand in hand
Y'all are tripping. This shit's beautiful.
Insane good weird fun
very nicely captures the vibe that the lyrics are supposed to put off in this song, it is about a stalker after all. My favorite part is when the piano repeats "I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you" over and over around 6:02
Agreed, I thought that was brilliant. As many others have said here: the sense of humor in the mix, along with the brilliant musicianship, is just perfection.
look at dave's face. look at how elated this man is to be drumming the drums
Covers without a vocalist are cool because you know the words and you can't help sing them to yourself, but they've tweaked the melody and rhythm. It's like re-discovering the song - with you involved.
You have to be very good to pull this off so confidently. And enjoy doing it. I like it.
Ethan's hand independence is RIDICULOUS!!!
The whole thing is ridiculous 🤣
One of the best things I've ever heard/seen
when you realize the bass notes of the piano are in unison with the bassist and it's not even improv at all
Almost nothing they do is improv. Also notice that at least in the first few minutes, at the same time the bass is playing along with Iverson's left hand, the drummer is playing along with his right hand. As in, when he's playing the melody part straight, he does straight drumming. However when he goes into playing it "sloppy", he drums along "sloppily".
@@innapinch7112 well, that's just straight quarter or eighth notes. Not exactly through composed...
Hhhhu
@@innapinch7112 g
Jiii
It's just amazing when shit hits the fan, I love it
Every breath you take.gp3
HAAAAAHahahaha oh my god
with RSE hahahahahha
Nice! Hahaha
How can anyone put a dislike on this? I really don't get it...
The Bad Plus rule! I don’t always understand musically what they do but I am in awe!
James Gallagher lmfao self absorbed ok
Because they literally went out of key and sounded terrible as soon as they went to improv. No one was in touch with the other.
this is the best thing in the world
Those sunglasses are definitely something
Does humor work in jazz? Yeeeeeeeeees!
I loved hahaha
I loved too.
Sublimes músicos!!
F❤cking Genius
Hell
Yes!
so nice. tank you;)
The Good Minus- The Bad Plus -The Ugly Equals
very, very good it
This makes me smile so much.....when your heart is broken, but it's hilarious as fuck.
Louis CK is doing a great job on the drums
it's Dave King lol
hhh thank you good sire XD
How excellent
Bravo!
This is hilarious 😂😂
to all the people saying that they ruined this, i have but one thing to say to you ...
you’re entitled to your opinion. that is all.
I love this. Also.....
Hello from the future.
@@innapinch7112 You two have no idea what's coming.
@@slabriprock5329 I love this.
Never Stop 2 and Activate Infinity are awesome. I love what Orrin Evans brought. Not only his talent, but the guys are like kids again, free to explore new avenues of jazz.
Is this the Puff Daddy version? Or Stings?
puffy did I'll be missing you. not watch
this is MAGNIFICIENT!!!! WHAOUU love it! left hand madness
dave king always looking like he's having the time of his life!! XD
Is it me or does the bassist always look as though he's about to start sining?
Harry Morris Sometimes he's allowed to. He sang backup vocals on "Comfortably Numb".
+Harry Morris At 5:45, somebody hums in the background! Not sure who, but we can imagine the bassist getting the drop on the melody.
Everyone looks like they are about to start sinning, if you ask me.
is it just me or did he have like a minor role in the hangover 2 or some shit
I guess it's just the vibe of the original ))
Come here Sting, I'll give you a hug and dry your tears
I would say bad plus bad plus bad plus bad lol
Wow
Полёты во сне и наяву!😍😉😀
Richtig gutes Zeug!
Who knew Dirk Nowitzki played bass?
WTF ?
Gimme back my beer . 🍺
Nice done stay connected
2:14 The egg! My favorite part!
That ostinato intro is nicely contrasted with those molested upper structures.
Blah o'Really molested upper structures .....ha ha.....well said......
I might steal that as a band name if you don't mind
Well this just made my day
geniuses
"Every Breath You Take" is "when the night has come" base line smilat
dave with the brow pierce
Keep it together guys we're monged af
This is what music would have been without MTV poisoning the entire 80s. Avant-garde/punk goodness. What a band. True art 😍
MTV didn't and would never play Jazz like this. That's simply not what MTV was presenting.
That's art.
yes, yes and YYEEEESSSSSS :D
Sting
Many dislikes from people who don't know that jazz means plays with mistakes and go ahead
Les Dawson eat your heart out
This is amazing
If you guys had a singer this piece would be phenomenal
iSalted They do sometimes, check out their version of comfortably numb
I saw them on that tour. Bad Plus were so in sync with each other, you felt like Wendy Lewis had an impossible job trying to guess where they would go next. They had been playing together since high school I think.
Get Urself some untweeted coke if U can handle it like when listening 2 Miles 4 the first few times, U'll feel it n the natural all the time b cause Ur MIND has EXPANDED SO!!!!!
Интересно что они курили
I think I heard a wrong note.
Come on, sing already dude
Did anybody think at one point: what the fuck is going on? c'mon be honest
It sounds like a crap at some times because they wanted to play like that a little. They know what they're doing so it's a matter of taste.
Did they say it is an improv? Sounds like the bassist had it in the pocket with the pianist
that's so disgusting and yet fascinating, like an accident, can't look away...
un.be.lieve.a.ble.
What?
what an absolute meme this band is
eh
Free jazz
I love playing jazz on the piano as you can play absolutely any notes you like and no one can question it. As long as you say it's jazz.
i'm a Bad Plus fan, but this just gives me a headache and stresses me out.
It's hard to listen to. Everywhere my face is supposed to melt, it's instead cringing. Guys come on. I mean A for effort, absolutely. But let's be real.
I like their stuff, but this is one is too satirical for me.
2:16 is this a plastic duck?? wtf :-)
Just a yellow hand shaker. I own a black one. Very cool how he tucks a stick under his arm real quick to shake it, then runs it in a circle around his drum mics for a little surround effect, no?
Inna Pinch Thx mate. I can now even hear it :-)
The critics seem to come in two camps --- those who are defending jazz against the Bad Plus onslaught, if you will, and those who dig the rock and pop music and cannot get behind the deconstructions of Iverson and Co.. What seems to be happening in this music is that there is an unhappy marriage between two things, and each seems to be fighting the other for dominance. It is easy to tell the rock fans that they do not understand Jazz, or that Jazz lovers are stuck in the past. My criticism is based on a different observation. When I hear these performances I do not hear opportunities in the original material being exploited in real time. That is, I am not hearing an exploration of the interstices of the composition, nor much between and among the performers. Rather, there is a placement of ideas on top of one another. Iverson's deconstructions seem top heavy in many regards. He is playing on top of everything, and his ideas are heady and unsubtle. His reharmonizations don't sneak up on you from within the material, but get tossed in your face or over your head all the time. They seem to be coming from a private workshop of his own, and then released on top of whatever is going on. That is, the ensemble itself, and the live moment does not seem to be the garden from which he harvests his ideas. He grows them in a laboratory. The ensemble, to me, has the effect of not really being present in the music. Some of the problem, no doubt, owes itself to a poor choice of material from which to harvest the kind of internal ideas improvisers can do something with. All that is left, then, is to draw on externally contrived gestures which superficially make it seem hipper than it is.
+William Winslow I think that you have accurately described the dissonance of ideas in The Bad Plus' music, but it seems as though you think that those dissonances are a failing, whereas I'd say that they are intentional. Your analysis is coming from an ideological position about art that this band exists to challenge.
+Keith Klassen I understand the dissonances to be intentional as well. I have certainly enjoyed Iverson's playing, and the playing of this ensemble. Also, I name Charles Ives as a favorite composer who was a layerer-on-of-things composer par excellence. And I like when "cats play out" and all that stuff. Really, I am wondering if the choice of material is the best for this kind of treatment, and I especially wonder if Iverson is hearing new possibilities in the music in the moment, or is opening up a hoard of pre-composed stuff to smear on top of a pop song. Anyway, it has the overall impression of being a tad ironic, as opposed to any kind of serious homage to the spirit of these songs. I am certainly OK with an artist discovering something completely crazy in a chestnut, and doing a zany take on it. And I don't want my own criticisms to be taken too seriously. But I think I would prefer the craziness to sound as if it were discovered within the piece --- some kind of stone, so to speak, gets turned over, and there is all this weirdness to exploit built into the song if only we were genius enough to notice ---- or hear a great artist bring out. But with TBP I tend to think weirdness is getting imported from without. I guess that is fine to do. But I don't think the latter is as profound as the former.
That is the best bit of criticism I have seen on youtube. I haven't worked out yet if I agree but overall given their adventurism and novelty (this is 13 years ago!) it seems a bit mean-spirited to comment post-TBP as if what they are doing has been done before or, like, you tried it out on the piano once and thought "Nah". This is original, and clever, and that counts for stuff. Through-composed jazz as opposed to all improvised is a battle that was fought and won a long time ago.
Well, it is possible to come across as mean-spirited simply in offering criticism as opposed to accolades. But I think my respect for the group and Iverson should come through, notwithstanding my criticism. I think, at the heart of my criticism is a sensibility about where originality comes from and expresses itself in performing material that is not one's own. I have heard Iverson say in an interview that the other members are the ones who bring in the Rush and the Pink Floyd, etc., and that Iverson does not even know these tunes. That this is the way these items on the repertoire get developed is not hard to hear. Iverson sounds like his muse is "elsewhere". Are these tunes a native fascination to him, or are they merely exercises in pleasing his friends while he gets away with playing jazz?
Yes, quite possibly the latter... but he is hardly the first to be guilty of this!
For that matter, while pointing this particular finger, I wonder if even the originators of these popular tunes were truly expressing their inner muse when writing them. Cynics point to certain formulae for successful songs. There are a number of musicians - Prince, McCartney, Paul Simon etc - who, once successful, go down a pretty weird and idiosyncratic musical alley, followed by a tiny minority of the people who liked their early, more generic stuff.
The people praising this as good jazz are the same people who call paint aimlessly tossed on a paper art.
Astonishing musicianship but a bit of a nuclear option for me, just because you can doesn't mean you always should
痛烈な批判。
Musicians are technically very impressive but sounds unpleasantly ugly! Great for experimental initiatives! Thank you for your corageous efforts!
Wtf is this
"Nice" only because is "jazz"?
Como arruinar un tema
Silencio pleb
This sounds terrible. Everywhere they tried to go "jazzy", it sounded like a bunch of people touching an instrument for the very first time. There was one decent run at 2:10 tho. Then I stopped listening.
Lamentable versión.
+RobertDeMiedo Pero no veo ningún vídeo de ti en un festival, lamentable tu comentario, no eres nadie.
+Roberto Zarrabal Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Desde luego no soy nadie, solo una persona que tiene lengua, como tú. Nada más que yo opino desde el otro lado: del que no te gusta a ti.
No, opinas del lado ignorante, por que una cosa es criticar objetivamente y otra es simplemente usar un mal criterio y decir que es "una mierda" o "piece of shit" y lo demás que vi en tus comentarios que no fue solo uno, así que el problema eres tu y no The Bad Plus, que por cierto, son muy buenos músicos, pero tu que vas a comprender de música si no tienes ni una idea de lo que es tocar un instrumento, en cambio yo, para dejar en claro todo, soy músico, y tal vez no sea "reconocido" pero ese no es mi propósito.
+Roberto Zarrabal Hombre, gracias por sus palabras. Aunque no le vendría mal escribir con un poco de sentido de la prosodia y mejorar su ortografía. Mi opinión sobre The Bad Plus es respecto de este tema en particular, por lo demás me parece muy buena su versión de Everybody wants to rule the world, entre otras. Saludos cordiales y una disculpa si mi manera de nombrar lo ofende sobremanera como veo que lo es
Si, tienes razón, debo de mejorar mi ortografía, pero no nos desviemos del tema principal, no me ofendo ni intento causar una pelea contigo, solo trato de ser un poco mas objetivo y sacar lo mejor de tu comentario, por eso mismo me preguntaba por que pensabas eso, si en lo que yo he estudiado de música y los años que tengo tocando, me parecen músicos grandiosos, tal vez la versión no fue de las mejores que podrías escuchar, pero The Bad Plus se caracteriza por no ser la típica agrupación de Jazz que hace covers "jazzeados" de canciones Rock como ejemplo, Karen Souza y sus covers "jazzeados" de Rock, que parecen solo haber cambiado el estilo y ya, pero no ofrece nada nuevo al aspecto musical, al contrario de The Bad Plus, ellos parece que hasta se intentan burlar de estos tipos de cliché.
Te recomiendo escuchar a Robert Glasper o Brad Mehldau, ellos dos suelen hacer covers de Rock de bandas como Nirvana y Radiohead, yo creo que te podrían gustar. Saludos
This is completely fucked.....artistically
not sure where the improv starts, but then, I don really care. no groove here, move along.
i knew this was going to be rough when I saw the bass player had flip flops on in public. I never trust people who where flip flops in public. if they're not at the beach or no further than then their front porch.... or pool. nope.
I know they’re trying to be different, but this not good at all 😂 it’s just ridiculous 🤦♂️🤦♂️ my advice? They should get a 2nd job, cos no one’s going to hire them if they continue playing this way 😳
They played this gig 17 years ago. But I'm sure they would like to hear your advice, maybe when they're booking their next tour :)
celldivision yeah world tour 👍🏻
Not a fan
"Every Shit You Make ! " I never heard a nice song, turned into а shit, if it was jazz ... I'm gonna vomit ...
Drink your pills people!
It is so ugly 🤢🤮😁😆
