- This is the final track from Album No.2 by Valeriy Stepanov Fusion Project. "Believe in Yourself" was done as a whole composition in fall of 2019 and played live a couple of times in clubs and festivals by Valeriy and his band till it was recorded for Album No.2. The track has a special guest - the legendary Eric Marienthal on alto saxophone. Thoughts about to have this saxophone giant on this track came to being long before the moment of recording even the demo. Steven Williams is a very professional and dedicated drummer. In Valeriy's records his first appearance was on Album No.1 on the track called "Voyage" and now it's first video of Valeriy & Steven. Also "Believe in Yourself" has tremendous horn section which concludes Ivan Akatov on trumpet & Ilya Chumachenko on tenor saxophone.
The video version of "Believe in Yourself" has some changes and adds comparing to the album version. Check it out and have fun! :)

Valeriy Stepanov is the BEST jazz fusion keyboardist, composer and musician in the jazz world today. This guy is simply amazing. Lorber, Chick, Herbie - move over. There's a new sheriff in town. Untouchable. Congratulations, Valeriy - you're a genius on so many levels, on so many instruments. You've accomplished more than most musicians could ever imagine. I'm so happy for you! You have a wonderful career in front of you. Cheers!
Thank you!!!
@@ValeriyStepanov you’re most welcome! I’m the former keyboardist and bandleader with Cirque du Soleil “O” and a fellow jazz keyboardist for many years. YOU are the real deal. 👍😀
That's a bold statement to make. Had I never listened to Valeriy Stepanov I might try to mount a counter argument but i have heard much of Stepanov's catalog and so I say You are correct. Other keyboardists may approach Stepanovs technical capabilities, but they don't have his massive creative side. For context, I've been a keyboardist in both jazz and classical settings for over 40 years and I know of no one that is even close.
I concur!!! Beyond master level! Exquisite!!
Yeah wish I had chops like that, super. Its not merely chops either, very musical as well. Well it IS music after all :)@@jptaylor
Wow! Eric Marienthal! Happy to see you with Valera! 😎
Valery is this generation's Jeff Lorber...
@@markprater1 ... on steroids!!
Значит я к вам
One of the greatest musician in the world
Хто?
Certainly;-)
music unites all countries and peoples. world peace!!!
Awesome musicianship Valeriy is one of the best I’ve heard in a decade his piano and keyboard playing is off the chain melodies from heaven.
valeriy Stefanov è un grandissimo musicista, completo in tutto. bravissimo

Eric Marienthal killing it on sax!
🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉
Where knowledge,talent and love for music meet , something special,indescribable is created …like this pieces by Valeriy ! Not only is he multitalented in many musical genres, starting with jazz at the highest level,where the roots can be found with the biggest in the industry, no he has reinvented the music he makes for himself and produced it in new dimensions! His musicianship, performance is out of this world! He is a genius personified! Obsessed and insane in the best sense of the word ! Thank you for your perfection and brilliance that you give us !
Last one can’t overlook the amount of super talented musicians he works with ! All deserve my bow …chapeau! ☝🏽👠🌻
The legendary Eric Marienthal!! (Chick Corea electric band) coincidentally Valeriy played with Chick. R.I.P. Chick.
Long story short Val is the future of fusion, I'm so impressed with this kid for the last several years, he's just outstanding
Good God, that mix quality is astounding!
This is nice!
I’m almost 60 years old. Back in the 80ies and 90ies this kind of music was pretty popular. We called it fusion (I think it’s what they still call it today😅).
Our heroes were: The Brecker brothers, Bob Berg and Mike Stern, Miles Davis, Steps Ahead and many others.
The drummer in this video reminds me of one of the heroes back then: Dennis Chambers.
Thank you.
Peace!
He actually reminds of a young Rayford Griffin when I saw him with Stanley Clark with keyboardist the late Robert Brookins .. Rayford would push the groove just like this young man is doing which damn awesome
Sir, you are out of this world, your music is incredible,I will like to get the opportunity to see you in concert in the USA.
Valeriy's solo was a-freaking-mazing! Especially when the horns came back in. Good grief the guy has to be from another planet!
Браво! Очень здорово! Неожиданно и приятно видеть Эрика! Спасибо, Валера, Эрик и Стивен! Если есть где то джазовый рай, то Чик улыбается нам оттуда....
Настоящая ДЖАЗОВАЯ Музыка!!!
СОВРЕМЕННАЯ, ОЧЕНЬ КАЧЕСТВЕННО СДЕЛАННАЯ, ПОЗИТИВНАЯ, РАСКРЫВАЮЩАЯ МАСТЕРСТВО КАЖДОГО ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЯ!!! ПРЕКРАСНО ПРОДУМАННАЯ! СОЗДАЁТ ПРЕКРАСНОЕ НАСТРОЕНИЕ! ВСЕМ ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЯМ ИСКРЕННЯЯ БЛАГОДАРНОСТЬ! КАКОЕ УДОВОЛЬСТВИЕ НАЧАТЬ ДЕНЬ, ПОСМОТРЕВ И ПОСЛУШАВ ТАКУЮ НОВУЮ РАБОТУ НАСТОЯЩИХ МАСТЕРОВ.
Божественно
Hey this is Steven Williams the drummer on this song!! Thanks for watching!!!

Это взрыв головы ! Супер особенно финал 🎉
It will be wonderful to watch this great track being made. Top musicians playing the last cut of this amazing album. Thank you Valeriy. Your videos give us a front row seat in the studio.
What musicians... what music... what sound... Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Тот случай, когда ставишь лайк в первые секунды\такты музыки! Валерий огромное спасибо за творчество!!!
Very good music 🎶 🎵 👌 👏 👍 🙌 🎶
...бегу за наушниками,чтоб кайфануть по максимуму!!
👍👏🏼👍👏🏼👍
Valera, the stages of this world are waiting for you!
Ну что же ты творишь?! КАК ТЫ ЭТО ДЕЛАЕШЬ?! УАУ!!! Спасибище за музыку тебе и всем сподвижникам!
Гениально! И главное--надо же было договориться,заинтересовать Мариенталя и всех троих духовиков синхронизироваться в эту звездную цепочку,создать этот кайф,грув..Калейдоскоп раскачивающего самые мощные эмоции фанка!!!
Still, for me, one of the most energizing songs on UA-cam today. This and his song, Positivity can bring me out of any level of funk. Bravo Maestro.👏👏👏
These musicians are out of this world, just incredible!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Once again amazing Valeriy! Eric Marienhall, great to hear your horn again.
Cover? Personally, I wouldn't know of any original version of Valeriy's song "Believe in yourself".?? This must be a composition of his own, otherwise he would have declared it in the YT introduction or on the album credits. greets
East meets west . Somuch respect for skill .
Would love to hear more. What a pleasure.
Greetings.
Спасибо за ваше творчество! Отличный пример международной дружбы!

🎉🎉🎉👆👆👆👆🎉…
Все это, конечно,неаиданное и неслыханное действо, абсолютно потрясающее. Но, пройти в мировые лидеры не дадут. А Валера этого достоин, абсолютно достоин. И много еще удивительного создаст.
It was a great honor, pleasure and privilege to host and perform with Eric Marienthal twice in Uganda 👌🏿
Nice song 👊🏿🖤🤍
Jesus . . . this is just . . . words FAIL ME. TOO FUCKING GOOD.

лучше с "САМИМ дробышем!"...
HOLY SH*T! You got Eric Marienthal on this? That's so sick man! Nice jam, I like the vibe ;)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Marienthal hustling to keep up with anyone or any song before this. Valeriy is keeping everyone on their toes! 😉

Всё в кайф,спасибо и тем музыкантам которые с тобой
играют такую музыку
Just awesome composition and playing and hats off to all of you including mr stepanov
There ain’t no doubt, the musicians in this vid will leave their legacy on this planet. I hope in our next life, they are all there. This blew my mind, timing is so tight.
Круто, когда музыкант сам монтирует, музыка становится очень визуальной, всё показано, ничего не упущено, Валера лучший!
Кайф! И от того, как сыграно, но особенно от того, как записано и сведено! Оффигенная атмосфера звука!
Спасибо, Валера!!!
So nice❤❤❤fine drumming by my friend Steven Williams… love the conga solo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎Valeriy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
HEY THATS ME IN THE DRUMS!! THANKS MAN!!!!🙌🏾
Ahhh ça c'est MON UA-cam comme je l'aime.
Спасибо Валерий за это сокровище. Спасибо остальным за этот паз.
And thanks to Steven for this perfect rhythm.
Every time I think you can't top that last track I just heard from you, you go and do just that! Every composition of yours is simply a masterpiece! You have such prodigious command of everything you touch, whether the piano, key bass, drums, camera, video editing, and so much more! You Valeriy, are what we all aspire to in our musical goals. God speed to you in everything you do!

Сумасшедше офигенная Вещщь!.. Спасибствую)
Как у нас говорили в студенческие годы , ШТАТЫ !!!
Wow, masterpiece, cool, energetic and fusionally entertaining
Еще раз послушал.....фирмачи👍👍👍
Wow! The transition ~3:26 from where the vocal swells double/fatten out the altissimo at the apex of Eric's solo to those wicked (!!!) horn stabs is some turbo-arranging. Props to Ivan for nailing those quick hits in the upper register.
Валерий, Браво! Прекрасный союз великолепных музыкантов!
Неимоверно круто!!!! И красиво. Какая культура владения инструментами и фелигранная техника.... Ну, и естественно могучее композиторское мастерство Валерия....Браво!

Валерий - гений , миротворец !!! Круто !!! Состав бешенный )))
Eric and his signature sound - love it!!!
Столько лет уже не могу понять,почему у Валеры так мало подписчиков... как всегда мегаохрененно!
Не пропустил премьеру. Испытал даже больше положительных эмоций, чем ожидал. Валерий - гений. Браво!
Степанов это непревзойденный импровизатор, браво
Молодцы ребята. Поздравляю. Наконец-то приятная и серьёзная музыка, с хорошим звуком и ритмом.
So good and exciting to see Eric Marienthal again. His playing is always STELLAR!!! And the brother Steven Williams' drumming was spot on!!! This tune is FIYA!!!! It was smokin' all the way through. I mean, I don't expect anything less from Valeriy Stepanov. But this one really "hit the spot" for me. LOVE IT!!!!!
Заряд бодрости что надо! На год вперед точно хватит! 🕺🕺🕺
