    He told me personally that he excluded that shot from the uploaded version as he didn't want to come across as arrogant. I told him that his fanbase would be understanding; but he is stubbornly humble.

      Dude, thank you so much for saying this! I had no idea, either. I just saw Cory Wong at the Troubador on Saturday and he was playing some Louis Cole videos before the show started. I was thinking to myself "hmm, I wonder if Louis is gonna be doing shows again soon?" but then I got Wong'd for 2 hours and forgot all about it until now.
      I'm also extremely intrigued by the fact the title of this show/tour is "Louis Cole Big Band". If it's anything like the big band that Jacob Mann (with Louis on drums, ofc) put together, I'm gonna lose my shit. That group was amazing, and there was a lot of overlap because most of those same musicians played on the Louis Cole "live sesh" songs.

    • @gustafsone
      @gustafsone 4 роки тому +2

      @barbarino Yeah, I got to see Knower before I even knew who they were. They opened for "Thundercat" back in 2015 (I think) in LA and they blew my mind. I've been a fan of Louis and Genevieve ever since then.
      My only regret is not getting to see them again when they had a full band, especially when Sam was playing bass with them.
      I don't know if we'll get any specific details on the upcoming shows, but the whole labeling it as a "big band" is awesome and if it actually means that literally, I'm gonna be in heaven. The blending of my favorite genres and Louis is crazy and good enough to pull it off.
