I've been rewinding the video for 50th time now just to see the smile on Blade's face when Wolfi hits those notes. This is music. This is what all musicians strive for. LIFE.
Poetic stuff. The drummer goes beyond merely playing the drums. Not often I listen through a whole UA-cam clip but this one really grabbed me and pulled me in.
the spirit of an open-ended conversation, translated into music. jazz can work like that. great drums here. I picked up a cd of this duo at a Muthspiel gig from a year or two later with a conventional trio (Mehdlau's bass/drummer rather than Blade). Muthspiel had stopped using loops by then. jazz musicians generally avoid using loop pedals and the like. but if used well, like here, tis nice (david becker is another guitarist that does that), especially if it works to create a folky/melodic vibe, as here, which is a large part of the reason why Metheny's melodies, with reverb, were so popular in the first 10 years of his career
Watching this duo live was one of the most memorable shows I have ever seen. Such an incredible amount of joy expressed on stage through the deep musical connection between these two masters!
This stuff is great! I've just become aware of Wolfgang, & love his cleaner sound. Also I'm wondering if the Ludwig drums are Brian's? I've never seen him playLudwig, & they have one of the most amazing sounds of any drums I've heard him play.
does someone know which guitar he plays first? the one with the head turned around? which model is it? would be glad if someone knows it and could tell!
well, i am sure he used to boss rc20 at a live show, because i've seen it with my own eyes. maybe he also uses a digitech, but i know for sure he uses the boss rc20.
Brian Blade is the most happy drummer that i know, its so amazing to how much fun he got behind drums.

Incredible Duo!
Bravo!!!
Lovely - I was looking for the Friendly Travellers gospel group, but got converted! Heavenly smile at end, too!
Brian Blade plays a lot of stuff in this video... but... It all makes sense! Every note he plays has a purpose and is so tasty. Viva la Blade!
Also ich könnte nur wiederholen, was der letzt geschrieben hat... Wahnsinn Herr Muthspiel! Excellent Mr. Blade!!!
WOW. Brian is the perfect example of a musical drummer, making every single note count to enhance the music. Thanks for posting. Beautiful!

I feel like i've been hit by a giant wave of sound...this is great!
Incredible. They are one with their instruments and the music. Brian Blade’s drumming is so fluid and dynamic. Blows my mind
now this performance blew me off ..it totally paralized me, I can't move, I can only listen.
BEAUTY.
Wow. Found this on a thread about looping pedals. Glad I did. The feel of the drummer is amazing!
Blade isn't human! Absolutely wonderful drumming
고등학생때 이 앨범이 나왔는데 그땐 유튜브도 음반도 귀했던 때라 이 충격적인 앨범을 몇달 동안 반복해서 들었던 기억이 난다. 하교하며 보이던 노을이 생각나네
Ils ont de la chance de jouer l'un avec l'autre , et l'autre avec l'un .Quelle équipe ! ! !
I absolutely love these recordings. Must have the DVD. Brian Blade approaches the drumset with such conviction. Breathtaking.

he is a friend of mine and im so proud of him
Love Wolfie and Blade...beautiful!
there´s nothing like what I fell now - divine grace almost describes my soft and well-being felling.
It was like a movie
just the right blend of jazz groove, rock guitar tone, and overarching good vibes. Wow.
So much knowledge, honesty and most importantly joy on that stage
Brian Blade is amazing! He's always smiling!
It's just AMAZING !!!! The life is here.... Thanks a lot Mr Blade & Mr Muthspiel......

Awesome song. Absolutely incredible drumming. Holy cow. I'm a guitar playing and the guitar here is also tremendous but those drums blew my mind.
He literally IS the instrument.
Amazing how good this sounds... even at 240p. I wish it was uploaded in a higher audio quality. The music is very good
AMAZING !

Very well done!
Nice playing, tune and use of the loop!

Thank you too.
original jazz compose!!! +5
sorry i forgot unbelievible music for the soul
mr blade, could i please have just 1/250 of your ability and feel??
ouuf!
yeah, it's the one from BOSS
@culpritto yes, metheney had some influence on him cause he was his teacher in Boston.
wolfnag is creating progression
This is new territory, is it not? Great stuff.
Guys, Wolfgang is using LEXICON JAMMAN.
I have one for sale, cause i dont use it anymore...
Brian Blade is the man, if u didn't know already.
This stuff is great! I've just become aware of Wolfgang, & love his cleaner sound. Also I'm wondering if the Ludwig drums are Brian's? I've never seen him playLudwig, & they have one of the most amazing sounds of any drums I've heard him play.
anyone know the snare brian is using?????
This song was a landscape. Nicely done! Remniscent of Pat Metheny, but original.
does someone know which guitar he plays first? the one with the head turned around? which model is it? would be glad if someone knows it and could tell!
It's from a German company called Frame Works. Here's a link: www.frameworks-guitars.com/about-frame-works-guitars.html
Any one knows which looping pedal is W. using?
@epasurr yeah dude. this sounds a lot like "john boy."
where can this commercial release be bought and is it a commercial release at all?
@grijazz
Brian Blade is the best drummer in the world!!
well, i am sure he used to boss rc20 at a live show, because i've seen it with my own eyes. maybe he also uses a digitech, but i know for sure he uses the boss rc20.
hm should have been a reply on the looping discussion..
probably his own custom canopus zelkova snare...i guess
Like Keith Jarrett & Jack De Johnette. The loop replaces the bass player. Anyway, Brian has the same musical feel as Jack has, IMHO.
Fantastische Aufnahmequalität, selbst über IPhone und normale Kopfhörer. Wer hat das Mikrophon aufgestellt?
Hi
ah, urs too? :>
That nerdy black guy has a really nice drum tone. Dry and thick with least amount of that irritating snarish(?) sound. Love it.
Nerdy black guy?
@grijazz Brian Blade is the best drummer in the world!! *
1 digitech jamman, 1 lexicon jamman, boss rc-20 sometimes (but not at that tune)
15/8 ??
Just 4/4
killers :)
