Jeez, and here I just saw your comment and my eyes bulged --- exactly one month after he checked outta town. Blessings to your beautiful spirit Tony Allen.
He didn’t keep the beat, he took it out, showed it a special time, and then did things with it that are beyond the imagination of mere mortals. Heavenly music just got cool.
Zora Xye I am flattered! I will sadly tell you that my writing tends to be scientific or technical, rather than poetic. Although the best of this type of writing CAN be poetic, like when a mathematical proof is labelled “elegant”, or when a scientific journal article tells a story instead of being just a dry recitation of facts. Instead, I will recommend my brother-in-law, David K. Leff, who writes very amazing free verse, and what I like to call “inner travelogues”, about how travel and experience lead to a “spiritual” voyage (spiritual in the broad, not religious sense).
Here I am, after 2 years of his passing I finally started playing drums, and I now realize how talented he is, he's been an amazing inspiration for me now
This is how you become a legend - most of what he does is in the realm of technical ability of a lot of drummers, but only he can do it. Also, I forever love how much he's choking up on his right stick.
Il est immense .Cet art était arrivé à une hauteur difficile à atteindre. Humainement y a que de label Tony Allen pour maintenir < le monde en halène .Virtuose Tony merci de m'adoucir mes temps en ma compagnie.>
At 9:24 he drops his stick..... and you cannot even notice anything happen in his playing. Just keeps going like it didn't happen. This guy is a legend.
Le monde a perdu un morceau de son âme aujourd'hui. Ton rythme vit pour toujours. The world lost a piece of its soul today. Your beat will live forever, Tony. Rest in Power #RIPTonyAllen
Tony allen is one of the reasons i picked up the sticks 23 years ago. Still trying to learn how to put some of those rhythms down nicely today. It ain't easy. Sounds it, sometimes, but it just ain't easy! He was master and pioneer. R.I.P.
Hom y god my sincere condolences to his family , his sound makes musicians' hearts beat faster, thank you for all that you have done, rest in peace Tony
@@skitidetdu6672 i said you probably can't understand it..... not you definitely can't lol. he does a lot of stuff that to the untrained ear is really tough to pick up on
We are literally losing Music. I know the Recordings last always, but if all the Musicians are gone, then what? Most schools don't even have Music class anymore. I wish I had kept playing past 6th Grade😔
Of course I do not want to compare him with Mozart, Beethoven or Bach, but if not his music, his influence will live for ever. Afrobeat will never die.
This is an incredibly sad day for music. RIP Tony Allen
It's been a sad year for jazz
Oui, Snif !!! Très bon batteur jazzman !
afrobeat lives on but tony has passed
R.I.P.

Brilliant comment. Please tell me you write for a living.

@@cguy96 TY! Fellow tech writer here(my excuse/reason for lack in other forms), I'll ✔ out your bro.
hell yeah ! ( less lyrical... 😁)
Here I am, after 2 years of his passing I finally started playing drums, and I now realize how talented he is, he's been an amazing inspiration for me now
if for anything, human beings should be remembered for this!
Nous pleurons ton rythme cardiaque qui s'est arrêté, nous gardons dans notre coeur le rythme de tes baguettes ; merci et adieu Monsieur Allen.
So Loose yet so tight! What an interpretation. Stunning! RIP Tony. You were a joy.

Even when he played traditional jazz records, you can hear the Afrobeat. Blending genres and transcending any single one.
We’ve lost a giant.
Rest in power. Heaven just got a drummer.

Prime example of reinventing a composition, and a ‘standard’ at that!

He makes it look so easy.
ISSO!!!
RIP Maestro
...RIP, Sir. Go well.
Very nice creativity, I luv it so much :-)
Legend RIP

if you're not a drummer you probably can't understand how incredible this guy really is... this performance is amazing
Gatekeeping much?

@@GRIFTYRODRIGUEZ I don't understand it but I still find it amazing. I think your comment came of a little
smug.
@@skitidetdu6672 skill issue
@@skitidetdu6672do not be annoyed brother
I’m sure he meant not to demean anyone
We’re all here to celebrate true and good music
Fantastic! (Wonder what Art Blakey would have thought.)
“Not enough 2 & 4. You’ve gotta hit that shit hard man!”
I always had impression art was one who made way to rock drumming as we know it.
Great groove
Groove In Peace you hero !
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Blessèd be HE.
Magic
RIP Tony Allen. I believe you'll be having a jam session with Ginger Baker, you might even invite Fela Kuti.
Rest in peace Maestro..
joli!!!
RIP Good Man!
Imagine not knowing this exists?
RIP LEGEND
legend!
Le dernier baobab de l'afrobeat nous a quitté... Il est et restera le Hendrix de la drum...
Je ne vois aucun rapport avec Hendrix! À part peut être « l’influence jazz », qui est d’ailleurs plus authentique et prononcée chez Allen.
Rip the legend
God blessings
A legend is gone
Bye Signor Allen...
Hats off! R.I.P.
Goddamn, this is good!
so hip ; rip tony
RIP Tony Allen !!! THEOG
R.I.P Legend! :/

At 9:24/25 Tony drops his stick but the music still seems to flow like nothing has happened.
