+Hakan ARIK I'm from Lebanon, sitting in my room listening to this. In my closet is that same exact Joy Division shirt (but sleeves intact) which my ex-girlfriend bought me from Turkey.
I'm a 66-year-young and it's a great pleasure to see these young people, young but so mature.... A reminder: “Jazz? a music for young people who want to stay old”. Reproducing the same energy and commitment as their bebop ancestors did. I don't think they're too aware of it, either. But it's wonderful to hear them.... Scott presents his Indian-Black (or Black-Indian) roots, i.e. Afro-American Indian, I get lost in it, but without insisting too much on the injustices his community endures. This is a good thing. Or not. Maybe he doesn't want to use his music as a weapon of protest. Just listening to it is enough to make certain things clear. Bravo, Scott, to you, to your companions, to your superb music!
Christian writes and plays with the emotions from the heart like Coltrane and Miles. It's great to hear young musicians playing with such soul. Continue on your path.
Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah is a treasure in the jazz world. This performance was pure fire, every musician brilliant here. This concert will always hold a special place in my heart.
Bravo! An excellent band! Wish you a big success!!! I am 80 y.o. Woman, but, I can dance with your music without getting tired!keep talking, and keep playing the beautiful sound!
The song at 9:40 "West of the West" took me back to my childhood in Nigeria, listening to Fela when my parents would play his music and let it reverberate and fill our home. The song has the Afrobeat spirit he created mixed with African American jazz of the good old days and a slight hip-hop edge, not to mention the touches of rock n roll and Caribbean music. Wow Wow Wow!!! I'm a fan. Thank you for staying true Brothas & Sista and sharing your gifts with the world. Thank you.
I just met Mr. Christian Scott tonight on my way out of my favorite vegan restaurant, as he was going in😍 I was so star struck that I forget this beautiful man's name😦 he kindly introduced himself. What a class act👌. Total gentleman. I'm in love!!💜💜💜😥😍😍😚
Seeing Christian's emotions as he wales on that trumpet during KKPD was truly incredible and inspiring. Amazing performance, I've come back to watch this dozens of times.
Tears in my eyes watching and listening to KKPD; he;s expressing this feeling he has about the incident, now this feeling, all these feelings being expressed without words, just his trumpet and composition; truly a great and extremely important piece of newer jazz. This is what Jazz is suppose to be, right? Innovative, original, speaking a voice that needs to be heard; truly wonderful-
me too. I gues whenever you speak about the system in any way there has to be some kind of disclaimer now in The USA. Wow. The hoops NPR goes thru deserves our donations.
KKPD. When my sons walk out of the house I know I've prepared them as best I can for that time when they are in that situation -- but try not to imagine the scene. The screaming anguish of the notes talking about that moment and the fight to remain alive and the mellow tones coming in speaking to the eventual rise to understanding with our hearts till in the pit of our stomachs. ...my tears flowing still and amazed at how you and each of the contributing artists put together such tactile music that told that story. You are an exciting impactful artist.
The last song expresses all the despair and impotence that you had to feel in this horrible situation of extreme racism, thanks for share your history, but you knew how to transform it into music and this is called alchemy. I wish you a lot of succes in your life.
The depth of feeling emanating from these talented young musicians is inspiring to me. This mini concert lets me know that my eternal optimism has been rewarded by their profound dedication to their craft. Play on people, play on!!!
Fantastic. Met Christian Scott a few days ago before one of his concerts and had a quick chat with him. Super down to earth guy, and also extremely intelligent. Really comes out in his music
The power of music. He literally relived that entire experience. I am so moved and thankful and sad and such a myriad of emotions. I found this on a whim while I was watching "The Internet". Thanks NPR!
That Last piece to me, truly Nails what he described when you've been unnecessarily disrespected by authority and feel like there's nothing you can do about it! Amazing!
The story of his detainment, humiliation and conditional release, while a black officer stood by was heartbreaking. Tolerance of intolerance is corrosive. Christian's music is just brilliant. The relationships between us are filled with music. We are not different from each other, we are each other.
I usually don't like when people talk during music but Christian is extremely well-spoken man and beyond on point if that's possible. Musically this band is something special, seen them a few times. What a special group sound they have.
I'm so amazed Christian went through all of that abuse from an officer in one night and is still standing. No one knows how many tears he cried in private. It is absolutely important for minorities to stand up for their dignity. He is going to have very strong children.
as an arab american sitting in berlin and concerned about the #blacklivesmatter i really appreciate the music... and the solid message that can come with it through this dood. respect to Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah
Musicianship: 10/10. BUT don't forget this is in an office, with drums and a trumpet. I cannot wrap my head around the sound engineering to bring us this lovely mix!
these kids are amazing! they're a ture testament to the good that comes from knowing your history and having pride in your people & yourself. i hope they see all the success they can handle
KKPD brought me to tears. That is the second time in all my life a preformance has done that. The pure rage, confusion and angst in his playing is palpable to an extent i never could have expected. The way he raises and lowers his horn is reminiscent of the sound of police sirens. his lines are so purposeful and carefully crafted. that horn is an extension of his soul. I felt it. Thankyou.
Clicked on this on a whim and I'm so happy I did! I didn't really get KKPD the first time around, so I just listened to the entire performance again and it was incredible. I could listen all night.
Just discovered this band and its been on repeat for the last 2 days. The emotions expressed here touched my very soul. I feel better knowing that these talented guys are out there crafting such beautiful music.
Christian Scott and is band. The jazz music of black dignity. What a wonderful energy, powerful creativity, incrédible sincerity. Black power is before everything, beautiful power. Thoses musicians show us. From France, whith great affection.
Remarkeble solo's! Love the contrast how Elena, the flutist, channalizes her emotions very calm during her first solo and how much emotion Christian shows. Enjoying this vid already for 5 years. Thanks a lot!
I was watching The Internet's performance for the hundredth time and decided to see what other videos they had and OMG am I glad I found this. officially a new fan!
This is the most powerful music I have heard in decades!! The young brother is articulate and highly intelligent . By now he must know "there can never be justice on stolen land".
I agree. I love that they come back to the opening melody again and it carries with it all that hurt, but is so beautiful in its return that the resolution is expressed there.
I think this particular performance of KKPD is quite literally the most impactful performance I've listened to in my life, no joke, I've listened to some great music but the pure emotion and story communicated in KKPD exceeds all. Even after like 9 months from first hearing it I regularly come back just to listen to this particular performance.
I've listened to a bunch of live recordings of Twin on UA-cam and this one is definitely my favorite. It's SOOOO tight and bouncy with that Soca-style rhythm. The percussion (bass and drums) are so in the groove and you can tell the other musicians are right there with it. It's hard to single out any performer, because they are all great, but that flute is really something wonderful. So effortlessly expressive and cool. LOVE THIS! Thanks NPR, what a service you provide. I have NO idea how you capture these performances. It's such a weird space to hear such fantastic performances. It's almost like put these incredible artists in a professional space and they overthink it, on Tiny Desk, the pressure kind of drops off and they just play.
I am dazzled by you guys, especially the first tune! WOW! I can't stop playing it and I think I've shared it on FB 3 times already. It's a sound unlike anything I've quite heard before. It feels like jazz with a dash of Mali streaming down a river on a summer day. Well done!
Thanks for this! One of the coolest Tiny Desk concerts I've watched! Props from one drummer to another! I'm loving Cory Fonville's playing here...definitely gotta look for more of his stuff.
KKPD was one of three songs that have sent this insane surge of emotion through me. The return of the beginning piano line near the end, that sad sounding melody returning brought me to tears. This song goes beyond a catchy rhythm or a complex melody. This song touches your soul so hard you don't need a reason why it sounds good. Amazing Christian Scott. God Bless
I am sitting here extremely happy, almost in tears looking at these young people doing some amazing music with real instruments. The MUSIC is not dead. There is HOPE....Keep going my young medicine people, the world needs your hearing. I know I do.
This is amazing jazz music, and Scott has to be one of the best trumpet players I've heard in my life. His chops fall somewhere between Dizzy Gillespie and Lee Morgan.
Incredible performance by all, super high energy... piano man LFields' solo on second tune (around 10:30...) is so crazy good. All you guys and gal are so soulful and burnin!

That first track is gonna be a jazz standard in the future... it's hot. And what a beautiful group of people.

This is just one of the absolute peak moments of Tiny Desk concerts.

Exactly. I can hear so much Miles and Free-Jazz (A Love Supreme and afterwards) Coltrane

You were lucky to have him. And he's lucky you still remember him.

Whole band is a class act. 🔥
I just met Mr. Christian Scott tonight on my way out of my favorite vegan restaurant, as he was going in😍 I was so star struck that I forget this beautiful man's name😦 he kindly introduced himself. What a class act👌. Total gentleman. I'm in love!!💜💜💜😥😍😍😚

Interesting speech to listen right now in 2020.....
i was just think bout that while listening to the police story that he´s telling
It was interesting at the time we just weren't paying as much attention.
hopefully we won't be saying the same thing about a similar speech given in 2025
I was just thinking the same thing
Exactly this
This give me a goosebumps ... I'm amateur trumpet player from malaysia. This is very inspirational
Teh tarik
The last piece is SOMETHING OUT OF THIS WORLD.
+Haya Farah AGREE COMPLETELY. I'M IN AWE.
And yet so of the earth… the story behind it helped me understand the sections… the pain. The beauty
I hear a mixture of New Orleans Jazz, Latin influence, African rhythms...Love it!!1
I don't know how that was rambling. Seemed pretty deliberate and well-articulated to me. Also, that is a phenomenal group of musicians. Damn.
me too. I gues whenever you speak about the system in any way there has to be some kind of disclaimer now in The USA. Wow. The hoops NPR goes thru deserves our donations.
+LADYLUCK RADIO MIAMI White guilt is weird.
yeah not at all rambling. a very rude way to describe a horrific and personal experience. the story was also vry relevant to the music.
+NPR Music should just take out the word rambling... Agree with Dr. Karate, it couldn't have been more deliberate and well-articulated.
How was this rambling? Take your skewed perspectives elsewhere.
Great music but also cant help but think about how gorgeous everyone is in this band !!!
Yeah, they're all real "pertty" and they sound fabulous!
Looks whos here !!!! hahahahah

Finally a young man who is able to channel frustration through the music. Anger is multifaceted, and we need people to express it in different ways.

Thanks man!
I'd rather suggest that "K.K.P.D." starts earlier, it sounds to me the speech is like its intro.
Pretty sure that at 27:15 starts a song called "IDK".
Just like he said, this is music with nutritional value.
Clicked on this on a whim and I'm so happy I did! I didn't really get KKPD the first time around, so I just listened to the entire performance again and it was incredible. I could listen all night.
KKPD gives me chills; some Miles Davis-esque energy. Just wow. The power and resilience this group holds gives me faith in the future of humanity.
Those drums are just insane,
wonderful playing altogether.
Just discovered this band and its been on repeat for the last 2 days. The emotions expressed here touched my very soul. I feel better knowing that these talented guys are out there crafting such beautiful music.
They're not a band.
Christian Scott and is band. The jazz music of black dignity. What a wonderful energy, powerful creativity, incrédible sincerity. Black power is before everything, beautiful power. Thoses musicians show us. From France, whith great affection.
The first song is incredible. Love the flute.
This music is like space, most people think that there are ups and downs. But it's really just you, all around.

Getting an ad half way through TWIN is absolute criminal.
I have returned to listen to this last piece of music again. His story lends a frame to picture the composition more clearly.
takes one lick to find great music... the world we live in
Thanks for this! One of the coolest Tiny Desk concerts I've watched! Props from one drummer to another! I'm loving Cory Fonville's playing here...definitely gotta look for more of his stuff.
stunning - never seen anything like this that has the same urgency and passion.
27:05 starts the flow of emotion. Then the tears fall at 27:45. Brilliant ✊🏾
These times bring me back to this video.
As soon as the music started up after the count in, before the picture had come up on the screen, I knew I was in for something good
KKPD was one of three songs that have sent this insane surge of emotion through me. The return of the beginning piano line near the end, that sad sounding melody returning brought me to tears. This song goes beyond a catchy rhythm or a complex melody. This song touches your soul so hard you don't need a reason why it sounds good. Amazing Christian Scott. God Bless
I am sitting here extremely happy, almost in tears looking at these young people doing some amazing music with real instruments. The MUSIC is not dead. There is HOPE....Keep going my young medicine people, the world needs your hearing. I know I do.
This is amazing jazz music, and Scott has to be one of the best trumpet players I've heard in my life. His chops fall somewhere between Dizzy Gillespie and Lee Morgan.
WOW. This is one of the most powerful things I have ever seen; we have just witnessed the true power of music.
Dang these midroll ads killed the vibe, interrupts the whole flow of these amazing musicians
