Cantaloupe Island Live - Alex Hutchings & Kevin Inthawong Band. Herbie Hancock Cover 

EVERYONE killed it!

Wow, I love how you blend all those chromatic jazzy licks with an almost metal, kinda progressive, dynamic. You are an awesome player, it's one of my Hanckock favorite song!

Brilliant

This is really a new approach! Still it has got the original vibe! See my Fingerstyle Version of this song at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vXyv9FLkLsw.html

Drummer!

Never forget to pee before going up the stage, kids.

Alex Hutchings is a serious contender for the top line guitarists list! He has taken sweep-style picking and made it an acceptable melodic addition to jazz/funk/fusion. Sweeping can become extremely boring because it is a fixed pattern that must be repeated again, and again!

You know a guitarist is an absolute master when he can improvise lines like those while having so much fun doing it.

THE DRUMMER KILLED IT!

2:32 I see Alex is a Frank Gambale fan. Awesome playing throughout from everyone!

The drummer is the best here. Seriously.

awesome playing! your drummer and bass are beast too. so locked in and nuanced. damn... much much respect

Whole band's good, but that drummer's tight, man.

My father was like Kevin, he could play anything and everything. He was also like you. God gave him a overflowing plate of musical talent. He achieved a Master's degree in music and could play any instrument well except for a pedal steel guitar, which as he said was from Mars or somewhere other than earth LOL😂. Listening to you play gives me great pleasure Alex, much like listening to my Father play his classical music, or boogie. Loved the Boogie! Thanks again for sharing your extreme talent, how about some old school Boogie next?

Cripes! That was transcendent, and amazingly youth-inducing. Hutchins and entourage surpassed Zappa and Grapelli in this medium. Wow. 😃

Sheeesh!! So you guys have been playing together since pre-school days, right? 😂🤣 I grew up 50 years ago with that Herbie stuff (along with Sextant and Crossings!!) - it is just infinitely thrilling to see you guys with this music the way you are all these years later. Thank You. Music, the universal constant - along with y’all’s power of reinvention. Wind ever at your backs 🖖🏾

Is Kevin really Inthawong Band ? He seems to fit in very well to me ;-)

This is quite good, but there is a lack of jazz feel among this musicians. The phrasing has more rock feel than jazz. And this is a jazz melody,

master!!!

What a superb guitar performance and a great supporting lineup.

If Joe Pass was alive to see this, I think he would smile at the improvisation which can be heard and the performer interaction that can be seen!! Thank you for recording and uploading this Alex, I really dig this!!!

Hutchings, Hutchings... what a beast! 🎸🎸👏👏👏👏

Kevin has a bit of Greg Lorber in his style. Nice playing. Bass player does not feel the vibe and thus never cuts loose at solo time. That moment is called "red tabby cat" time when the "cat" needs to go crazy for a moment. Missed it. Missing heart and skill.

There's certainly some Frank Gambale in Alex's playing here!

Q: how to avoid solely playing the butternotes? A: just do the same arpeggio one fret up or one fret down

The fusion dancer! Lol. He's just being himself. Just killer playing. On fire!

Assolutamente mostruosi... Braviiiiiiiiii🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️

This is awesome... I've had it bookmarked for a year, and just keep coming back to it!

Sounds so good together. You cats were fancy-tastic. Biddy- biddy bop!

what? Alex Akina?

Alex great great! But the drummer also very very good. Keys and bass too!

Joder, esto es increíble, los músicos de jazz son unos fenómenos.

Such a cool, cool take on a classic! Whooo!

When playing single coil pickups does Alex compress them?

Man what a horrible tone

Wonderful performance!

wow! Alex you better hire this guys. you sound amazing together

Haven’t watched this for a while but Alex us amazing. I’ve not seen anyone feels and be one his music like Alex does. He’s an amazing musician.

That bassist put in Thai folk bass lick on some part, cool stuff. Alex was smooth and groovy as always.

It is one of the best jam i Ever seen

Do you still have this axe with you mr alex ? You should play with this guitar more often, this guitar is pretty sick !

My Audio Technica headphones is happy with the drummer.

Amazing, and a contender for the best guitar face ever!

What a crisp band! I just don't understand the circuit this guy's on. It seems 95% of his material here on RU-vid is either him in a studio, or else appearances at trade-shows, malls, or conventions or something. I guess it's not his focus, but I don't know why he's not on big concert stages the way you see gigs by Al Jarreau or Lee Ritenour, for instance.

I'd love to hear this unit play 'Black Nile' by Wayne Shorter. 🤣

You guys destroyed Cantaloupe Island. Wiped off the map.

2.09 - allan holdsworth all over. this was fucking sick, had the pleasure of meeting alex at the bristol international jazz and blues festival, he was such a nice guy, invited us to the after-party/jam before wondering off and chatting with other festival goers, fair play that man

гітарист явно раніше в рок-групі грав або у військовому оркестрі))))))))

Muito bom. Parabéns.

Incredible.What a great Groove/Band.

Can someone transcribe this so I can try to learn it for 20 minutes then give up and never touch it again

melodic minor ?

Drummer is venom!

This is the highest form of music, respect for these mucisians.

Keroncong version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b8MxSXsLs8U.html

What a band! :-)

You are quite the dude, dude! Merry Holidays.

Great guitar sound

Much better than I had any right to expect

Unexpectedly, the best version I've heard of this song. Alex was amazing!

AWESOME!!

nice beatle❤️

Why so fast 😭😭😭

Any material or approaches you can recommend for an uneducated metal player to start getting some jazz gears turning? Your playing has totally changed my mindset, I can't get enough

Excelente cada días me trastornó Más con la música y el jazz, cada vez me Pregunto que hubiese dicho mi abuelo. Me habría colgado del parron? O se habría colocado un cintillo en su pelada? Increíble esto me trasforma ....

coolness!!

parabéns top top topzeira

Scofield

big ups to rhythm section

They groove well with the tightness but still drummer was clean.

Groovy

Alex, you'll break that thing and we won't buy you another one!!!!

I mean this as a complement. Alex is SO under rated. Is that one or two words?

Wow!

Great guitar palying mate....

03:00

Grat.................tank you Friends............

Leider geil!

Intéressante .. cette version ...bien jouée.....

1:23

very very quickly becoming one of my new favorite players.

You are the best Alex and the band.

Man, Jack Black is awesome :)

Wonderful playing of course; only eclipsed by the fabulous names! *_Phoowich Tawasinchanadech_* - is this really the name of the bass player? I initially mistook it as an onomatopoeia for something embarrassing that happens after a chicken vindaloo.

bravo pour l'excellente prestation du batteur

great tune for guitar improv

Great stuff yet again.

niice, i love jam with this music

Dat drummer!

who else is here in 2019.
