    I don't know of a better drummer in jazz than Brian Blade. And this is not only about the perfection of every smallest detail in his music, but also about his shining inner state during performance, which he so brilliantly conveys to every listener.

      Fortunate to have seen Brian in a variety of settings over the years. And he's always remarkable. Empathetic. Subtle. Soulful. Concerts with The Fellowship Band, a trio with Daniel Lanois & Daryl Jones and a trio with Bill Frisell and Sam Yahel are particularly memorable.

    Brian is the only drummer who can get other musicians to keep time during a solo. He can do whatever he wants, and it works. His silence commands time as much as his playing.
    I can only aspire to this level... one day! :)

      Indeed. Another master who is known for playing intensely at pianissimo is Clarence Penn. Check him out. I asked Clarence about that once and he said "what's the secret to playing with intensity at pianissimo?" I replied with three or four guesses and which wasn't what he was looking for. So I said "so what's the secret?" He said "Practicing playing with intensity at pianissimo." :)

    • @zdrumrguy
      @zdrumrguy 4 роки тому +3

      Man, I saw him for the first time way back in '99 with Seal. A fantastic band with Landau on guitar, Sancious on Keys and Levin on bass. I hadn't heard him but I had been reading about him. I just thought he was a "jazz" drummer but he led that band phenomenally. So much intensity.......with a jazz kit 😂

    It's always a pleasure to see Brian Blade on the drums! He has so much passion! From Straight Ahead Jazz to Adult Contemporary; he's extremely versatile. The first time I saw Brian perform, it was with Pat Metheny (from the PMG), and Kenny Garrett's group. And then later I saw him with his own group (Fellowship). Since then I've been hooked! After listening to this piece, Jeff Denson is my newest and favorite bass players, along with Romain Pilon being one of my favorite guitarists! Excellent trio! Thanks for uploading this wonderful video! Yeah Boi!
