RIP Casey Benjamin, Mr. Vocoder himself. A true master of his craft and an inspiration to all who have been in earshot of his gift to this world. Thank you. Your waves will resonate throughout eternity.
RIP Casey Benjamin! What a huge loss to the music community! Watching this performance for the first time really moved me and shed a tear. You will be missed!
I must play this everyday as I get up or getting ready Robert Glasper, Jill Scott, Floetry, Common, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Bilal, Talib Kweli, Boogie Down Productions (KRS-ONE),... Etc
JLifeAdvice Thanx for that nice list! I'm writing it down ;-) I feel the same, I rush into my office to listen to Glasper, Badu... I need ir like a drug
JLifeAdvice bruh, add some stuff to BLOW your mind. Old School Digable Planets, Pete Rock has released some hammers over the years on the underground radio and instrumentals. Kick in some deeper tunes and climb into the cellar of MadLib and then crawl passed that into the dungeon of 9th Wonder. If you still see daylight, dig deeper into the mystical sounds of JayDee aka JDilla where Glaspar sought deep into his spiritual beginnings of that Detroit rhythm you are feeling now bruh. (Drops Mic!)
This devastating to learn of this brother and musical genius's passing. Damn....gone way too soon! He brought so many talents and unique affects to the Robert Glasper Experiment CDs that I have. Wow! What a loss!
Cuz' listen... The song is already a timeless classic in it's own right, a Floetry masterpiece, so hearing it in any form OV, live, Jazz etc. is going to sound hot.... But this right here, this right here is some next level ish.. FOR REAL! You know how you sit in the car and can't leave until the song is done? This that song...
I just shook with full body chills in bed. They take you into their flow state. If you’re listening, you’re going. You have no choice. I can’t believe I get the chance to hear something like this.
You can see that he allows the sound to literally move through him, every vibration and tone on that solo he feels when he plays each note.......love this s
So, this is the story. You take one quite good song, you decide to cover it in your unique style. Ok, let’s see. Start the video. The bass solo broked my heart, so chill, relaxing, intimate but also powerful, hopeful. The groove of the band is kind of an ancestral sound, you’re so connected into each other, so natural. Years passed, but this is my jam for life. Thank you.
The Robert Glasper Experiment was lightning in a bottle and if didn’t catch it in that 2014/2015 timeframe you missed it … the experience live is on a different stratosphere - really hope these dudes run it back one more time
yes real music is da blessing check out my track i wrote with the writer of this 'Say Yes' track- R.I.S.E also features Floacist on my 'Simply Me' album #AMacSings
I watch this video from time to time because it is one of the best songs/performances ever produced. And today it gets another level of meaning and significance. Rest in Power, dear Mr. Casey Benjamin. 🔥
Listen to this at 3 am, in a dark room and think about that one person you’re in love with just saying yes and dream about them having a mutual feeling about you the way you do with them. I guarantee you this will make you either cry or build up the courage to speak/finally ask them. Or even blast this while in the room with your significant other & just stare into their eyes. Make It the most intimate experience both of you could ever have. It will be soooo amazing. I promise you.
To imagine that there are so many who have never heard this magical rendition and there are around 200 who have and it didn't Mortal Kombat level uppercut them in their soul is a freaking travesty. They're not making music, they're summoning it.
the best leads and pianists know when to sit back and let the other players shine, and when to contribute what they know they can do without overplaying on entire pieces or records. Chick corea is a great example of this as well
This is live music at it's best, with the soft intro on the bass, then the others come in, and then the drums take it hard to another level. Folks Support Live Music!
....brilliant, just brilliant. I would love to see Glasper collaborate with Mike Phillips on an album. if you don't know who he is then it's worth the look up.

DERRICK FUCKING HODGE
just insane
Yes fucking sir!!!!!!!!
Holy shit… I had no idea. Rest in peace to a true original.
RIP Casey Benjamin.....one of the most creative cats in the biz.... this is my fave version of this song. That vocoder is sick!
RIP Casey Benjamin! Thank you for blessing us with your amazing talent!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The way he adapted to the random system feedback and incorporated it into the solo at 0:57 ... Crazy.
never noticed it till you said something! !!!!
I'm saying though!!!
you noticed it too! So it wasn't just my imagination!
YES!
harmonics bro...
This is why you attend live concerts.
Yup 😢 I wondered why he wasn’t with Rob no more! My god 45- years old? Why😢😢😢😢😢
Derricks Hodge is the original bassist on Floetry's "Say Yes".
Beatles on his T-shirt
Sure is . Philly!
Mind blown
Nice.
I can never get enough, years later I still come back to this masterpiece.
RIP Casey Benjamin! What a huge loss to the music community! Watching this performance for the first time really moved me and shed a tear. You will be missed!
Just plain sick. A four-chord song turned into an incredible listening experience.
Wow! See?
ONLY FOUR CHORDS? I KNEW there was something simple yet ELEGANT about this song.
I’m mesmerized!
Thx bro 😎!
I must play this everyday as I get up or getting ready Robert Glasper, Jill Scott, Floetry, Common, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Bilal, Talib Kweli, Boogie Down Productions (KRS-ONE),... Etc

This is what can get someone , what I like to call "musically intoxicated" . Real music can do that ❤️
So true.. you can just close your eyes and travel..
I have never heard such a beautiful intro.. Its almost like Derrick Hodge took a trip to the unknown and brought a message back to us on earth.
Did y’all peep when he blended with the feedback tho???? 🔥🔥🔥
Life Begins when you listen to Robert Glasper
Oh yes without a doubt 💯💯💯✨✨✨
If I were there, in that audience, on a date.. It's at that moment that my date would realize that she'll forever be #2 in my life, next to music.
And she'll always know that Its your first love. #MusicLover2
@@tashaspeed5994 and you know it!
Lolololol! I get it!! Lolololol!
seeing them live is bucket list worthy
Saw them at the Blue Note in the Village NYC, epic!
Feel like I have wasted years of my life just finding this now. Incredible
Welcome
Cuz' listen... The song is already a timeless classic in it's own right, a Floetry masterpiece, so hearing it in any form OV, live, Jazz etc. is going to sound hot.... But this right here, this right here is some next level ish.. FOR REAL! You know how you sit in the car and can't leave until the song is done? This that song...
This is me at the moment! Parked in the driveway at my house listening to this song in all its glory! ❤️
This is me right now at work, should be getting work done but nahh
This is me at work, mesmerized...
Period!!💖
Well explained
I just shook with full body chills in bed. They take you into their flow state. If you’re listening, you’re going. You have no choice. I can’t believe I get the chance to hear something like this.
could not have worded that any better
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve play this song! I absolutely love listening to it! It’s so relaxing and relevant to my music experiences!
masterpiece!
me too
I listen to it everyday,Only wishing that I had the opportunity to have a woman feel this way.......
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life,other than the sound of the rain and the ocean,this is up there. ✌️❤️🌎
I appreciate this whole set but that intro is what brings me back continuously
He sounds like Baden Powell in the intro.
I think i've watched this video 5 times...everyday..for the past week, find something different every time.
You can see that he allows the sound to literally move through him, every vibration and tone on that solo he feels when he plays each note.......love this s
Yes, he got his eyes closed and everything
I swear Casey’s voice/vocoder work gets me high. Pure bliss. The Experiment is a science.
Yes! It made me want to listen to their Art & Science album after this
@@kryslife Yes! He brings so much the Experiment. His sound is just so lush. Art & Science was a nice one.
So, this is the story.
You take one quite good song, you decide to cover it in your unique style. Ok, let’s see.
Start the video.
The bass solo broked my heart, so chill, relaxing, intimate but also powerful, hopeful.
The groove of the band is kind of an ancestral sound, you’re so connected into each other, so natural.
Years passed, but this is my jam for life.
Thank you.
How the hell have I NOT heard this until now!!!??? Whew
Big shout out to D Hodge for making that bass talk. Truly a virtuoso performance.
Yes indeed.. He’s also a great Upright bassist as well
The Robert Glasper Experiment was lightning in a bottle and if didn’t catch it in that 2014/2015 timeframe you missed it … the experience live is on a different stratosphere - really hope these dudes run it back one more time
It breaks my heart to have to wish Casey to Rest In Music ! ✨
this is my favorite song recording that starts with a 4 minute bass solo
Man the bass intro is epic!
+glen gray
Derrick Hodge is epic on the bass!
Really something special! That sound is so raw and different! Amazing
and the message on the t-shirt suggesting that "The Beat... will soon be dropping in"
Rest in power brother Benjamins
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS I'VE EVER HEARD
For some reason this one chokes me up. So happy my antenna was up to capture his many frequencies. Rest in innovation Studs…
Now that's how a bass is played. Awesome.
I'm saying YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Thank you Robert Glasper Experiment for snatching back Jazz and Fusion music
I wanted to put this on for some background music while I was working but I had to stop what I was doing and just listen.
Lol - i respect your comment immensely - the same thing happened to me - this music just grabs your attention and then your done!
yes real music is da blessing check out my track i wrote with the writer of this 'Say Yes' track- R.I.S.E also features Floacist on my 'Simply Me' album #AMacSings
RIP Casey Benjamin, one of Queens’ finest. I absolutely loved him on the vocoder.
I can say that I had the pleasure of seeing them live twice. That is bucket list worthy
I’m still in awe of this piece entirely. The solo. The voice box. True musicianship at work. I fucking love this.
I watch this video from time to time because it is one of the best songs/performances ever produced. And today it gets another level of meaning and significance. Rest in Power, dear Mr. Casey Benjamin. 🔥
Derrick hodge is a monster!!
Me too check me out hit play and tell what you think
Listen to this at 3 am, in a dark room and think about that one person you’re in love with just saying yes and dream about them having a mutual feeling about you the way you do with them. I guarantee you this will make you either cry or build up the courage to speak/finally ask them.
Or even blast this while in the room with your significant other & just stare into their eyes. Make It the most intimate experience both of you could ever have. It will be soooo amazing. I promise you.
What an incredible bass intro!!
My man has that bass TALKING!!!!!!!
Finally, someone to carry on the WORD of MOUTH of the BASS. Pastorius LIVES
Man almost threw my phone when I heard this!! Great music and great musicianship!
I've watched this every day for months
CHILLS...Music high. four chords, a fairly simple melody but the improv from Casey is so raw and so emotive!!
2020 AND THAT INTRO ALONE BY D. HODGE WILL KEEP ME COMING BACK!
Who is still jamming to this in 2019 with me?
Me
Something wanna listen too on a rainy day in a dim lite room with one ear bud in and one out listening too the pouring rain and roaring thunder ⛈ 🎶
Me, gives me chills! Excellent
Me 😭
2020!!!
Nice to hear Glasper playing a grand; as much as I like the Motif, you can't beat the real deal!
When the music finished, i landed back on earth safely.
I'm happy that nobody was hurt, you had to be at least 40,000ft up in the air
S A M E
45
Safely, and from another world.
Major Tom to Ground Control
This is better than the original. This is real music. Radio don't know!!
always come back here for a dose of soul
Anybody else wish they was derrick hodge in this clip?
+Jon Elder Yes!!
+Jon Elder Today i'll be performing under the name Derrick Hodge, come see me at he DPAC theatre in Durham i'll be on the drums.
oh yeah.
The dopest shit I have seen this year
FideTheProducer.
This is one of my favorite bass solos ever. I´ve seek the studio version but this live is just supreeme.
I feel you.
When he gets feedback and instantly tunes the harmonics with the feedback at 00:56... I mean, that's legendary.
The best bass solo intro I have heard in a long ass time.
most delightful fretnoise i've ever heard
To imagine that there are so many who have never heard this magical rendition and there are around 200 who have and it didn't Mortal Kombat level uppercut them in their soul is a freaking travesty. They're not making music, they're summoning it.
Ja boy with that vocoder always puts it down. They're all doing Venti things!
WHAT IN THE WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
"This is very unusual recording" LOL
man this mixer is a beast, certainly gonna be looking up Benjamin Tierney
What a voice ,...we miss you Casey. Thank you for your unique Masterclasses which you gave us. That´s just greatness. We love you.
i just die for the note that he hits at 11:09.....amazing.....
would've loved to be in the audience. the vibe is so pure!
Derricks Hodge sends us to the sky... then Casey Benjamin to Heaven !!!
May the Rob. Glasper Experiment be blessed 4ever !
i love they music soo much ...... tha shit just takes you to another world
love how RG himself doesn't even come in on the keys til halfway through the vid lol
the best leads and pianists know when to sit back and let the other players shine, and when to contribute what they know they can do without overplaying on entire pieces or records. Chick corea is a great example of this as well
I always consider RG as the DJ Khaled of neo-soul... but with actual talent and RG doesn't have to shout his name all over the music.
the stars and the whole universe. this is beautiful.
I believe Robert Glasper is one of the most talented jazz artists out there right now. Such a unique and classy vision.
This is some fly shit! Robert Glasper Experiment never disappoints. Respect!
This is live music at it's best, with the soft intro on the bass, then the others come in, and then the drums take it hard to another level. Folks Support Live Music!
You can feel the light escaping the cracks on this one.
It's just Beautiful!!
Haven't felt like this for a long time
This is classic, Robert Glasper is king 👑😘
Breathtaking !
I saw the band last week here in Switzerland at the Cully Jazz Festival...they knocked the walls down !
Rest in peace Casey we will cherish your achievements in the music world
I'm so, so, so, so, so, in love with the way Derrick Hodge put this piece together. Sick!
all emotion in this type of playing...beyond music.
The sympathizer killed it for me.....music is amazing
So much love in the comments. Such a relieve. Nowadays you read so much shit whatever the topic might be.
Casey Benjamin is talented with the vococorder...really want to hear him play his horn though
Having listened to this I don't need to listen to anything else anymore. It's all downhill from here.
....brilliant, just brilliant. I would love to see Glasper collaborate with Mike Phillips on an album. if you don't know who he is then it's worth the look up.
Bass Man killed it. I like better than the original.
This is how it should be done!
2:38 did someone just yell out "Yeah its good" haha
I wish that this would never end
Came back to this for the quarantine...feel better now
thank you Casey for giving me so much musical pleasure...............your soul lives on amongst us music lovers......jim UK
what can you say....!!!!
bloody AMAZING..........!
All I can say is this SOOOOOO beautiful
