I’ve always said that a small jazz ensemble in a club can play with as much intensity as an arena rock band. This is proof. That drummer’s technique is jaw-dropping.
A driver tested me the EXACT same way before. He asked me "Who's the greatest drummer of all time?" I answered by saying Daniel Adair, the drummer from Nickelback. The driver left me in an empty alley ... 😔
It's so great as a drummer to watch this movie as you're starting out and not have any clue what this guy is doing, and over time being able to figure it out.
Thank you so much to whoever posted this! Ever since this movie first came out I cannot get this song out of my head! I wish I knew what the title of it was.
What's the difference between a jazz band and a rock and roll band? The jazz band plays 50,000 chords for 3 people; the rock and roll band plays 3 chords for 50, 000 people.
I think the soundtrack is available, at least it was. From Tom Hanks' label (and production company), Playtone. May be a tough find, but it's out there on CD somewhere.
I forget his name, but the valet captain is currently playing the lead's father, in SWAT. He is just magical in this role. As is the 'jazz pianist'. (sorry, too lazy to look up the names). They stand out in this great movie!
That is a great question, but I don't know who the drummer is. Does anyone know the name of this track for the soundtrack of this movie?, I couldn't find this movie to checkout where in the sound track it should be. The only jazzy track I found was "Time to Blow", but that doesn't sound like the same song at all to me, but wasn't this track near the end of this movie? "Time to Blow" is the 14nth track out of 15 tracks. Maybe I missed it at the end of one of the tracks of this soundtrack?
@@DrClockPMD Just clarifying here for everyone (based on your and Jason Higginbotham's post below) that this drummer is, indeed, the one and only Al Mouzon! What a treat! I used to cherish this scene when I was a kid. To know that it's Al playing, now after many years, is great. Alphonse Mouzon is one of the greatest original voices in the drum tradition, in my opinion. Cool that it was Al all along. I'm sure for many drummers of the 1990s this clip provided a foundational experience with jazz, and with the energy (and the mystery) of jazz drumming.

"The Blue Spot," written and performed by the late great Alphonse Mouzon. He was the original drummer for Weather Report.
@@jorymilthat's him??? Amazing

You’re lucky he didn’t kneecap you! 😵💫😎
I mean that’s a loaded question. There are so many legendary drummers from history. But if I had to pick my favorite, I gotta go with Bernard Purdie
Get in the cab, GET IN THE CAB! Take this man to The Blue Spot.
Enough said 😏😉🎶🎶🎶💫💜
Obba Babatunde stole every scene he was in. This was my favorite. Thank You for posting!
It's so great as a drummer to watch this movie as you're starting out and not have any clue what this guy is doing, and over time being able to figure it out.
Dude! So true!
Get in the cab! Is my reply when I'm asked why I listen to really good jazz. Brilliant idea to include this song into this scene.
Have always loved this piece...smooooth
The actor who played Lamar had what looks like a fun role.
That’s Babatundé!
I say it again, they should make a sequel following his jazz career.
OMG: YES!!! 👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💫💫💫

Guy out here livin his best life ✊🏿
What's the difference between a jazz band and a rock and roll band?
The jazz band plays 50,000 chords for 3 people; the rock and roll
band plays 3 chords for 50, 000 people.
That's because most of the the rock and roll crowd isn't sophisticated enough to appreciate more than just 3 chords.
@@Keyboardman88 “3 chords” my backside! Utter RUBBISH!
I know 4 chords!
Love this part!! Its really good!

Lovely Rita at 0:57! I was hoping he would turn around and check her out!
She certainly seemed into him. If he wasn't so hammered and so fanboying over Del Paxton, he probably would've tapped that.
Yeah I agree!🤎👍
The version of Guy in this scene was definitely influenced by Sal and Dean from On the Road.
Heyyyyyy, this piece is great.... Sadly no complete record available. Thanks for sharing :)
I liked that part alot! But what's the pianist name.
I think the soundtrack is available, at least it was. From Tom
Hanks' label (and production company), Playtone. May be
a tough find, but it's out there on CD somewhere.

Barth Beasley is the pianist...he's a badass, both player/singer songwriter.
Alphonse Mouzon.
It would have been cool to have known his name a long time ago when the movie was put out. He is a great drummer.
Drummers name?

@@booj101 Thanks for that! I've always loved that clip, and always wondered who the drummer was.
Thank you for the info, I just made a playlist giving him credit were credit should been made in the credits of this movie.
Good jazz goood jazz no I want crappy jazz
