    Welcome to the Yoyoka Shuffle, ladies and gentlemen.

    Yoyoka, it baffles me how you can play rock and funk so well and then easily slide into jazz where it’s so obviously a natural fit for you. Beautiful. Domo.

    This is Yoyoka's quote from the previous song chat:
    This group always records in one take.
    On this day, we recorded seven songs in one day. Most of them were heard for the first time that day, arranged and created on the spot.
    Remarkable.

      How are they created on the spot but have sheet music?

      @@ThePallidor You should watch Ken Okada's interview, he explains everything. He only writes jazz Real Book for his songs, just the basic, core information about the songs. He likes to keep charts minimal, so the other players can use their own voice. He's letting other musicians create their own interpretations, based on that core information.
      So yes, songs are arranged and created on the spot. And that is not written down. And because of that you will never hear them playing those songs exactly the same.

    I was taking my daily hike listening to Zeppelin and John Bonham's isolated drum tracks (the best booster there is) so I took a break and listened to this...that’s so calm, what a contrast! I confess that I'm not a fan of jazz but I'm acquiring a certain taste because of Yoyoka...

    Remember when the Weather Channel used to play super chill jazz music? Man they really knew how to pick them. Chick Corea, Dave Grusin, Chet Atkins, both Chuck AND Gap Mangione. Obviously Weather Report. This song would have been right at home on their meteorological playlists.

    I am not usually the typical jazz listener, but with a special interest in execution and precision of drums and Yoyo as a guide, I am drawn into this.
    Wonderful to hear new music that is good.
    The shuffle in this one is a little bit faster than the original Purdie shuffle - more like Porcaro shuffle 82 bpm
    Bernard was influenced by New Orleans marching bands playing at jazz funerals when he made his shuffle
    I like the variations that she plays - ghost accents after two and four and accents only on four.
    Murray Low is a nice addition.
    This is a supergroup!
