Thanks so much Bob, I’m from Columbus, Ohio and just really starting to do gigs around town. It’s a different sound, not much standards but just feeling the music. I learning to quickest way to enjoy playing without the nerves. Love what you do with the live feeds.

[@jensclarberg6419]

I always knew 3 Up 3 Down as 'Closer' as in A Live Life. Was this song never recorded before?!

[@legoblox01]

Holy crap you're right.

[@Baha2490]

3 Up 3 Down starts at 37:18, and it transitions into Unlucky at 45:15.

[@GrahameEasthope]

...those upside down mic stands from the ceiling. The simplest things. Genius.

[@jazzbrew68]

Thank you for this Bob! My plan for my 50th birthday this month was to fly to LA to catch your band live. Life threw my family a few curve balls and that didn’t happen. This was probably the next best thing!

[@flatONEmusic]

Hey Bob! I've noticed that when you are at home in LA you seem to frequently play the Blue Whale and the Baked Potato. I may be way off on this, but I think there is a certain element of improvised music that is similar to that of a magician or a comedian having tricks or jokes (i know this is a way oversimplified way to think, but bear with me for second). I've grown up a Michael Brecker fan and listened to tens of thousands of hours of studio and live recordings over the past 20+ years , and have noticed that, while ever expansive and pliable, he does have his "bag of tricks." My question is that when you find yourself playing the same room quite often or in front of the same people (fans and even staff) does it ever get in your head that "these folks have heard this before" in your approach to soloing over particular tunes, progressions, or styles. If so, how do you deal with this? On the other end of the spectrum, does it feel liberating to be in front of an audience that has maybe never heard your playing before? As a footnote. If there is any validity to my question, how long do you think it will be until the general public can get ahold of those "Men In Black" mind eraser wands? Thanks Bob!

Bass Players -- listen to unlucky: 37:16 and take notes. Janek is dirty

[@michaelbenoit9240]

Not to mention the solo at the end

[@BerniesBootlegs1]

very enjoy much sonic pleasure 10/10

[@Lukasmusic91]

Live Show from Bobby?! Awesome!! Always wanted to see a full Show of your band! Still hoping that you come to Europe/Germany soon!

[@madbuzz90]

I've been unwell the past few days, the weather is really bad here so my wife and I have been stuck in the house with our three young kids and the cabin fever is starting to kick in. I've been trying to put some time in the shed but I'm struggling to get inspired. This video has really made me feel good, it's so uplifting to hear Bob's music and this band is incredible, I love it. Thank you.

[@thejazzassignment]

Agreed. Uplifting and inspiring.

[@joshbrivic4461]

Saw you guys at the orpheum and then couldnt believe that you were playing even closer to my house a few nights later! The show was an awesome time and now i have this video to memorialize it forever, thanks Bob!

[@dasgongbad197]

Many a time while listening to this have I caught myself saying Oh Yeah! Question. Who are the personnel here. I have looked and not found....

[@bobreynolds]

Ruslan Sirota (keys), Janek Gwizdala (bass), Chaun Horton (drums) ua-cam.com/play/PLp7l649aMwXXYvYu4n5ETARjN5I24UtiX.html

[@robertphillips6605]

Wow amazing. Thank you so much for posting this Bob. Actually found myself saying encore at the end, so in the moment there wowcher

[@bcmsax]

That new tune 3 up/3 down, as if it wasn’t beautiful enough as a stand alone but Janek’s transition into Unlucky...stunning stuff from The Quartet!

[@petluv214]

Love this live version of his music. Heavenly.

[@masterllama321]

Been waiting for this day! Killer!

[@tipplers3417]

DAMN good show

[@JulianFernandez]

you guys killed it. thanks for sharing.

[@antonchekurov5216]

Bob how can i connect with you about some important thing?)

[@jeffreywilliams61]

Thanks so much for posting this...Cant wait to come home from overseas to see you live. Looks like the MkVI at this gig....

[@nsvlast3016]

AMAZING! I am loving it so much that I am just wishing to come see you play in front of my eyes and appreciate the beauty of your music. Hope that my dream will come true one day :)

[@AlanDarcyMusic]

Yes! Thanks for streaming your gig, Bob! This was great to watch, listen and enjoy for those of us who couldn’t be there! ❤️🎷🎶

[@KrisVComm]

Sounded like the bassist was Mr Yanagisawa

[@michaelalexandrini5734]

Nice!!!
This lineup better play in NYC soon!

[@fatwod]

Perez Prado warms up the house while the band sets up! Great show! Thanks for the upload.

[@LannersTV]

Now I really wish I can catch you in the UK this year!

[@mcdello1]

How are you getting those effects to only happen on the delay or is that just my ears...? Sounds great BTW!

[@legoblox01]

he's got a delay/reverb pedal hooked up.

[@RipzOnNubes]

Hash Tag Pocket!!!

[@studbagl]

I love the sonic exploration

[@xasma]

Guitar player is burnin

[@bass42]

Awesome 👏🏼

[@legoblox01]

When you didn't play the full opening to the song 622, that sounded alot like Ahmad Jamal

[@zebra3stripes]

Had a hard time finding the place until I saw the sour cream and chives on the roof.

[@kuyaadriann]

Is that an Ishimori Series II neckstrap you’re using there bob?

[@boshooda1941]

Loved the live stream for those of us who couldn’t get down to la!! Please do this again!!

[@WilliamCarterII]

I actually had a gig this night and I was legit lamenting that I had to miss your show haha. I glad I could catch this, Good stuff, my guy

[@alhomicz5644]

My face hurts from all this smiling! Damn boys! #pocket

[@Bass-Brasil]

Parabéns ao quarteto, vocês tocam muuuuuuuito!!!!!

[@dymsk]

Woo! Great seeing you again dude, killer set!

[@airsoftfreaks5]

U gotta film these more. Too great!!!!

[@mark_sax_alex]

Thank you so much)))

[@ging3rH3ndrix]

41:12 I screamed

[@wesperrymusic]

Hi Bob, I am a big fan of your saxophone work. I am getting ready to do a show of my own, and I noticed that your live streams are consistently of very high quality (both video and audio). I am hoping to achieve similar results. Do you have any advice or recommendations about what I can do to make this happen?

[@AleksPlaysMc]

He has his gear posted on his website and there are a ton of different ways to stream high quality audio on UA-cam

[@TheChristoph247]

Outstanding

[@liam_iam]

haha I like what you said about titling lyricless music. I produce some electronic jazzy kind of music and I sometimes write down potential titles that, at the time, strike me as 'hey, that could be pretty good'. but when it actually comes to naming the music, those ideas always seem terrible and I have to come up with some new, slightly less crappy name.

[@bobreynolds]

right?! :)

[@liam_iam]

well, no matter what it's called, there's some really beautiful music here. awesome work!

[@mori_to_drum]

Who is that drummer??
I like him.

[@bobreynolds]

Chaun Horton

[@mori_to_drum]

Bob Reynolds Thank you!!!

[@RC-cf7yu]

You uploaded a badly recorded performance of top notch musician.
