Joel Ross Quartet, Recorded August 22, 2020

Joel Ross - vibraphones, Melissa Aldana - saxophone, Matt Brewer - bass, Craig Weinrib - drums
Last year, NPR’s Nate Chinen referred to Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based vibraphonist Joel Ross as “the breakout jazz star of the moment.” He goes on to describe the then 23 year old as seeming to “slip free of standard cognitive functions and into a bodacious flow state. Invariably, he's in the midst of a heated improvisation. Maybe he's bouncing on his heels, or bobbing like a marionette. His mallets form a blur, in contrast to the clarity of the notes they produce. The deft precision of his hammering inspires a visual comparison to some tournament-level version of Whac-A-Mole.” (Recording Engineer: Delaney Hafener, Post Production: Rafael Alvarez, Video Director - Kate Gilroy)

Always super stoked by new clips of Craig Weinrib

[@graymra6882]

Could listen to Ms Aldana all night. In fact, I might just do that!

[@thomgerber]

Wish this band to get successful.

I was lead to this performance by Bill Frisell's concert. Now I see the stage is OUTSIDE and they moved inside for the gig.

[@xGABEGABEx]

Does anyone one the microphones being used for the drum overheads and vibes overhead? Thanks!

[@jayk1534]

I'd say they're there to get more of an overall sound - to be blended with the isolated mikes. Unfortunately, I guess it's one of those that's picking up the wind noise.

[@xGABEGABEx]

@@jayk1534 thanks, jay, for the info! I was actually asking if anyone knew the actual model of microphones being used haha!

[@drewbronig]

I'm unsure from the distance of the footage but they could be nuemann tlm-193? The capsule looks similar
