Please, NPR, now that you’ve brought Nate to the Tiny Desk, my only wish for 2019 is for Tigran Hamasyan to come as well. I wish for nothing else, thank you 🙏
Generally, I find these "a bunch of instruments at once" type things super corny, but this pleasantly surprised me. This is super duper tasteful, and super cool.
Nate Wood has gotta be presently The Most Valuable Player in Jazz (i.e. instrumental music). Just watched him w/ Will Vinson and Gilad Hekselman on their latest incarnation of Trio Grande, live at the Bimhuis, they sound amazing. Incredible. NW has redefined and pushed the envelope on the concept of a One Man Band.
Awesome focus and it takes such talent to be able to write coherent parts that you can smoothly play together as one piece that doesn’t sound like one guy trying to play multiple instruments.
jesus christ these comments are giving me a headache. nate wood is an accomplished musician who has played with NUMEROUS other acts (Tigran Hamasyan, Wayne Krantz, Kneebody, and Taylor Hawkins just to name a few) and is more than capable of connecting with other musicians in a live setting. a quick youtube search of his name will show you this. I cannot speak for nate but I imagine he started fOUR as a project merely to push and test his own individual abilities as a musician, not because he "couldn't find other people to play with". most likely some people at NPR saw his videos, thought it was impressive, and invited him down to play a session. if you don't like the music that's fine, nobody's saying you have to. but don't get on some soap box preaching "this isn't what music should be about" when you clearly haven't even done the slightest bit of research.
My advice for you would be (and not that anybody asked haha) to take UA-cam comments less seriously. People will say what they want, and pointing out and targeting those individuals won't accomplish what you want it to. I love that you know so much about Nate Wood though, one of my favorite drummers and a hell of a musician!!
My guess is that Nate Wood doesn't care what a bunch of UA-cam comments say about him. He knows who he is and what he does. But I understand that it can be frustrating seeing all these people not understand the point of his music and can't even see him as anything more than a drummer that looks like Putin. But it's not something to have a headache over trust me.
Wow this dude Nate is a real musician of multitude of many talents. I wish people would care less of his looks and realize his talents. Fantastic job Nate Wood and I will now follow you and look for more of your work.
Randy, I agree with you. Somehow, our society of IDIOTS thinks it ok to criticize publicly with the first stupid thought that comes to mind, but keep in mind sir, it really is their own disgust of themselves that they spew out as insults to others. As for the music, I like its hypnotic feel. Its mysteriously relaxing.
This is really great. I love the music and it reminds me that someone said music is a good example of anarchy, meaning that there does not have to be a controlling body or any red tape to be able to make music. I am very glad I listened to Justin Hawkins interviewing you. Otherwise I wouldn't have known you were here. Thank you for sharing your music creations. 🤩😍
I would give this guy a contract, he is better than most 4 man bands. Add a knockout lead singer, and you have a virtual hit machine. Great talent, I wish you the best.
This is phenomenal. Thanks to NRP for letting Nate do what he does. And thanks to Louis Cole. Nate you fricking rock man, keep doing what you're doing You've got a great voice. You sound like Brendan from Umphrey's McGee. That's a huge compliment.
AMAZING musicianship and independence! Your ability to play around with and sub-divide time, is on point!!! ...while playing bass and triggering, nonetheless! Looks like I've got A LOT of work ahead of myself, trying to learn your material! ;)
Ce que j'aime, au delà de la performance d'indépendance multi-instrumentiste de ce gars, c'est que sa musique est puissante, profonde et touchante ! Bravo
Read the interview in Drumhead magazine most recent, hes on the cover. By the way the second is wth? Vocals w bass and keys all done w so much 🔥. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Wow🤯. Its like if U. K. And Crimson raised a gifted child and he said " wait like this? ". 💯. Btw the drum part is Epic.
![Parcels - Live From My Den [FULL SET]](/img/n.gif)
I'd like to believe this whole project started because nobody showed up on time for band practice except him.
hahahaha good observation though
Wow 🙌
Yeah! Hahahaj
u silly goose
@@yarpyarp85 hahahahahaha
The drummer and bassist have never been more in sync.
LOL.
Please, NPR, now that you’ve brought Nate to the Tiny Desk, my only wish for 2019 is for Tigran Hamasyan to come as well. I wish for nothing else, thank you 🙏
👼👼👼
NPR couldn't handle Tigran. That's like putting all six Infinity Gems into the Duracell Bunny.
Tigran with the middle eastern Berkley ensemble. I agree, that would be some *fire* !
Also, Hiromi! Hiromi+Tigran= faces melting off! ;)
He has been there now
Generally, I find these "a bunch of instruments at once" type things super corny, but this pleasantly surprised me. This is super duper tasteful, and super cool.
Use your ears not your eyes.
Nate Wood Mastered my bands 1st EP, and he did an amazing job. So you know, that's one more thing he's good at.
Congrats man. U MUST BE AMAZING
I came for the novelty, I stayed for the songs. Excellent song structure under any circumstance but performed solo is stunning.
Now all we need is a Louis Cole tiny desk.
Yep. I've been thinking aBOUT YOUUUU
@@nurik sometimes. A little.
FFFFAAAAAAACTS!!!!!
@blake D Facts.
and DOMi
NPR Music, thank you for inviting Nate! Pleasure to see him here as solo. Like this artist and his own project a lot.
That "better if you try" song was very inspiring
This is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen from a musician.

Thank you so much for this recommendation! Checked it out and it was amazing!
@@malin6594 You're welcome! Glad you liked it, cheers, all the best.
@@tilurisoyeah a few minutes ago I realized if Miles was still alive he’d probably be knocking on Nates door😮
0:00 -15:48 best part

what a legend! Not just the raw skill, but also the epic grooves

Jokes are sometimes hard to convey over the internet, let alone in person.
@@1MarkKeller couldn't agree more.
actual musical talent is so refreshing
Who ever said men can't multi-task...
The guitar player

Love the variety Tiny Desk brings! This is amazing!

Thank you for sharing your music creations. 🤩😍
He looks like janitor at your local high school. I love it.
EXACTLY...
...if Putin was your janitor...
This guy preformed at my local high school with Tigran and Kneebody in 2009/2010
When he's not governing The Sovereign States of Russia, he's making dope ass Electric Jazz.
What a guy.
THis guy is either a robot or an alien! Amazing!!!
Or an alien robot
Now I understand why this is Louis Cole's favorite drummer.
He even says "Bass Solo" at 12:56 out loud, now I know where Louis gets it from lolol
Would absolutely kill to see Vulfpeck do a tiny desk
Hell yes.
NPR, +1 to this!
Or Snarky Puppy
@@spencersher66 Wouldnt fit.
They tried to fit in a long time ago, but they lost their treble instead 😔
My friend asked me who'd play synth, drums, bass AND sing all at the same time. I told him Nate Wood.
tom ty I see what you did there.
Holy crap, weird and wonderful.
YES Nate! so sick. Everyone make sure to check out his band KNEEBODY as well.
I wonder how many times a day he is told that he looks like Putin
Yo pensé lo mismo
So, you´re saying he is NOT Putin?? Lies!
No, on the contrary, i thought the sane. I saw it and i said - OMG is Putin!!
It's like Putin have a baby with Phill Collins
I'm not clear on his drug of choice.
A little Magmaesque at 9:56. Great seeing you live Nate. Keep on keeping' on.
What a true artist👍👌
Dude plays bass better than I do with both hands! lol. Well done.
I would give this guy a contract, he is better than most 4 man bands. Add a knockout lead singer, and you have a virtual hit machine. Great talent, I wish you the best.
Make him the lead. He has this Talking head vibe.
This is phenomenal. Thanks to NRP for letting Nate do what he does. And thanks to Louis Cole. Nate you fricking rock man, keep doing what you're doing
You've got a great voice. You sound like Brendan from Umphrey's McGee. That's a huge compliment.
Underrated
Dopest one-man-band.
Very VERY COOL Nate! Good to see your development as an artist. I’m definitely a fan! Great to see you bro. Your set was SICK!
Over 62000 people have watched this so far. What a wonderful musician
This guy's is just a beast amazing independence I saw him play with tigran Hamasyan I was amazed
About damn time
“And we will now be singing “
Kneebody, Louis Cole or Ben Wendel when?
Wow, I didn't know you could do this! Incredibly creative! Very nice!
Enquanto muitas bandas inteiras não conseguem fazer música de qualidade esse cara sozinho faz o som da banda toda com muita qualidade sensacional!!
Incredible performance
This man IS the rhythm section
My mother used to sing this softly lull me to sleep.
AMAZING musicianship and independence! Your ability to play around with and sub-divide time, is on point!!! ...while playing bass and triggering, nonetheless!
Looks like I've got A LOT of work ahead of myself, trying to learn your material! ;)
This feels... MDMAzing ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is beautiful.
Amazing !!! Wow ...
Wow a modern day one man band.
I will comment on every video if that’s what it takes to get Haiti’s Kaiyote on here
Ill join you
Talented
Must be how Mozart felt, having all the music and parts in his head.
That bass line in "Better if i try"
Ce que j'aime, au delà de la performance d'indépendance multi-instrumentiste de ce gars, c'est que sa musique est puissante, profonde et touchante ! Bravo
"You are over encumbered and cannot run."
Nate so cool man
Anyone else getting a Moby vibe from his lyrics and tone of voice? Music is out of this world, btw!
Holy shit what an opener!
putin killing it with knee body,now putin killing it solo!!!
Wow i thought i would hate it.
It would have been perfect if the vocal channel wasn't so dry? Maybe some kinda modulation or something.
I agree! Very talented, but I don't think the vocals blend in very well with everything else. Still awesome in my opinion
To be fair it is Tiny Desk, which is usually a little stripped down.
Qué locura... genial!
Note that since this video was posted, Kneebody's bassist left the band so now he'll be doing drum and bass more regularly.
so much respect for this dude, this is super hard. imagine him playing only one of these instruments, it must be boring to him.
You should check out Kneebody! He's the drummer of that band. Definitely not boring lol
Woah that was amazing
I have one question: How
Practice - and more importantly, the drive and motivation😅 If only I had some 🙄
Genius 👌👏👏👏
I think this guy has just started a whole new genre of music......................:)
I’ve been trying to get this taken down for a few years with no luck. Any ideas @npr music? Hint hint
Are you joking, or are you not happy with this performance?
This I as Dope!!! Wow!!
Like the old saying goes.. “ If you want it yourself, done do it right.”
Thanks to the Louis Cole threads for getting me here. Fabulous!
Just know that IF Miles was still alive he would of taken Nate out on tour most likely and did two or 3 albums 😮
so sick
Großartig Weltklasse hammer Respekt
Nov 2019 Nato Leipzig ... great.Stuff.thankyouforever
His vocals sound like Michael Stipe. Cool!
so what you’re telling me is this guys a genius
Amazing
Fuckin amazing! Now let's get Kneebody on Tiny Desk too pleaaaase! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
awesome
so talented. Very inspiring
And there was I thinking that the one man band was a thing of the past.... this is nuts!!!
Trilha sonora de sábado à noite!!!Maravilhosoooo 🎶🔊❤🌈
This reminds me of a Portlandia skit.
You're an idiot.
Now picture the world. As you. Just you.
I was legit trying to find the other band members for a whole minute !
Woah.
Please invite The Muffinz (SA) next, would love to see them at Tiny Desk 👏🏾
One man band, times 1000😳😳
like Aphex...a little of course😋 Nice ❤️
Read the interview in Drumhead magazine most recent, hes on the cover. By the way the second is wth? Vocals w bass and keys all done w so much 🔥. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Wow🤯. Its like if U. K. And Crimson raised a gifted child and he said " wait like this? ". 💯. Btw the drum part is Epic.
This is so gooooood
This is amazing.
The tiny desk was actually tiny before they got good acts people wanted to watch.
Holy crap! After seeing this I had to pick up my bass!
Crazzzy... I like it.
Original man with the IDEA.... "Gull FACE."
Brilliant!!
Talent. Wow
