@@OliverWolfe Leave the text on the screen just a tiny bit longer. There's not enough time to read and absorb what you are saying before the next segment begins.
Examples of seemingly magical moments of jazz: All band members listen, react, inspire each other - picking up on the energy from the tiniest of unspoken cues - improvising together as one, creating spontaneous music in a most synergistic way! That's when it gets incredibly fun. Of course Emmet Cohen is brilliant with perfect pitch and I'm thinking amazing recall ability (which make his ideas & playing at the keys appear effortless).
i was expecting this to be a selection of moments spanning the 100 odd episodes they've done but these are all from the same evening hahaha it's just not fair
As a jazz drummer I wanna say two things: 1. A lot of stuff like this can come from a variety of things. Especially if all the players have known each other for a good amount of time. Things like inside jokes or references that are easy for the other players to pick up on. A good example happened to me recently, a pianist played his solo one measure too long, and in the extra measure he played a "Take the A Train" quote, and then for the final performance, there was "Take the A Train" quote between sax, trumpet, trombone, piano, and bass solos. Another way that things like these happen is literally just a mixture of pure chance and similar thinking. One person may accidentally catch on to a rhythm or idea at the same time as someone else, and then the two people simultaneously think "How about this?" and then do it again. It's essentially a jazz version of getting multiple draws in a game of rock paper scissors. It also could be possible that it was discussed beforehand, though it's the least cool it's the easiest one to get right. 2. I appreciate the correct jazz terminology used throughout this video, don't see that very often!
The way that whole rhythm section plays so well together tells you how much time they spent playing, listening to each other and listening to records together shows you how well they elevate the music when they're all on the band stand. Truly inspirational and swinging.
1:01 As if latching on to Sean's idea and going with it for half a chorus wasn't cool enough, Emmett went on to play one of the baddest two choruses of blues in modern history. Thanks for making this!
basically. these are pretty standard things that come with being a musician, using your ear. its nothing new, people. executed effectively? yes. mindblowing genius? perhaps, but mostly for first time listeners.
This is just what happens when great jazz musicians play together! 😆 they’re listening and understand the language, both rhythmically and harmonically.

I hope this kind of jazz gestural breakdown vid catches on
I hope not because then I won't get all the views 😅 Also, I'm planning to do lots more

@@TangoFlute The pause is a great feature, would recommend.

The fact that this is all from just one episode of Emmet's place is amazing.
You noticed!! :)

I'm embarking on a quest you see 🙈
@@OliverWolfe exciting!
this is kind of just the definition of jazz
I want to be Emmet Cohen when I grow up
me too man

beautiful work, easily illustrates the genius on display
Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for curating this. If only more people could realize the pure genius on display.
what a great video, thank you for pointing out all these mindblowing connections!! Would love to see more of this style of breakdown videos
You got my word !

Really insightful. More of these please!!!
Pinky promise!
Please do another video! This is actually what I wanted for so long! :)
Pinky promise!
@@OliverWolfe you're the best!!
No u 🐺
so great to see this. Thank you for doing this
I love this and i would love more of this

I’m OBSESSED with Kyle and Emmet. They’re so fricking talented and the honor I had to see them play live AND talk to them astounds me
A great play by play of a superb ensemble that truly listens to each other and responds.. genius through spontaneous composition ❤️😊
while it sounds like telepathy, most of these are common vocabulary. also playing together that much you begin to pick up on how people talk.
basically. these are pretty standard things that come with being a musician, using your ear. its nothing new, people. executed effectively? yes. mindblowing genius? perhaps, but mostly for first time listeners.
There are so many amazing Emmet moments. To dwindle it down to playing some accents together is inadequate to me.
More to come!

We need a part two
I got you :)
Isn't that just being a respectful, professional that listens lol?
That wouldn't get as many views in the title

💪💪💪
4:24 Emmet also quotes “there’s a small hotel”
🤯🤯🤯

God these guys are so fucking great
🙏🙏🙏

You forgot about **that** moment.
In good time my friend 😉
You mean “Dat-daaaaaaaa- Dat da-dat-da-da - bedoobydeebydum dat-da-dat-da-da”
Everyone should take some notes here... This is how you play jazz.
