HAHA UNDERRATED

Wow I heard it

needs 1m likes

*pops mouth*... that was NOICE.

Almost sounds like a cross between Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans.

Tracy Bedgood 👌

You noticed right. I do piano and Jeff does good piano.

Fitzgerald was amazing at this

Horace Silver

Michael League taught me this was even possible

😂😂😂. Love intelligent humans.

🤣🤣🤣

.....to surprise us

best comment on youtube.

Dude, it only makes sense for the Jeff to be a jazzman.

Exactly lol

As I looked up after reading your comment & saw him compliment-clapping for his guitarists’ solo!! Lol

All On My Own Here We Go they are crisp! I did think the drums were a little too prevalent in the mix but that’s just a preference thing I guess!

He found his pocket

Like butter 😫🤤🔥😂

The bass drum is there and not there at the same time. Agree...brilliance

Karl Hungus it's called sitting in the mix

Random Awesome he’s great! This group reminds me a little bit of Lou Donaldson and his band.

organ player is pretty great too

Cantaloupe Island isn’t swing

Random Awesome true

NovaInc. Yeah lmao

Goldblum and Bill Murray should hang out together.

right?! gotta learn to love it while you still living! Otherwise you just dying!

You strike me as someone who can’t properly spell his name.

Right!

I understand that reference

I'm CRESTFALLEN

​@@rickdeckard1075😂

Robert King it’s a hell of a drink that Coke is.

I suppose you're right

Quantity is so important

The "coke" coke?

This is such an amazing comment! 😂

LOL

THIS SENT ME

I think this might be the most underrated comment in recent youtube history

bro why can't i like more than once

Bruuuuuh 😂😂😂

TheCountryMouse thank you for the way you’ve just worded this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Beautiful description 😂

Most definitely man.........not to mention pretty groovy too........

You DIG,man?

Perfect description. Have always thought that of him. The jazz is like a really tasty boozy cherry on top. I only discovered this side of him recently.

Davidkjazz for sure. Jeff sounds nice, but you wouldn’t ask Brad mehldau to act 🤣

The drummer has such deep pockets it’s ridiculous, I’ve watched this more than a few times now and just focused on him. Amazing.

Thanks man!

@Andres Reyes He's not playing badly. He sounds like an early intermediate level improviser which is probably where his musical development stopped.

Jeff can play though...

he always was a "High Plains Drifter".

I only found this out about a week ago!!

hahaha best comment for a long time

MonsieurMerci t'es un génie c'est définitif

A very murray chritsmas with phoenix jojo

MonsieurMerci that’s real, right?

There's a video of him butchering "Gloria" on guitar with Clapton for what it's worth!

Mitchell Wooldridge it wasn't amazing but it exceeded my expectations he's pretty good

@@GrumpyStormtrooper you're not amazing!!

coachchris424 thanks

@@GrumpyStormtrooper I kind of disagree, he wasn't virtuosic but man he played off others in their solo super well with really well timed improves chord stabs, echoing solo sections from other players. he wasn't very note heavy. His solo wasn't a wall of notes but VERY deliberate in bringing the tastefulness of the whole thing to a head. and god damn his chord choices were hngh, they were so on point it actually shows how much he's paid attention to harmonisation which is such a huge factor especially if you can improvise with it.

Onodera Punpun ok i listened to it a couple more times and i have to say i changed my mind. it was indeed pretty good.

They're in Capitol Studio A&B - they dressed it up to look like a club and brought in an audience. Same studio Sinatra used.

Monica Bower Thanks for the info Monica.. Yes. I realized that after watching his other videos. You look lovely BTW =)..

Fucking please make that movie.

Completely! First thing I thought!

@@rickg8015 cmon man, nobody hooks up thru yt

I'd give it 11 out of a possible 10 Goldblums

true

Write it!!!

Dan Leonard Best comment of the year

Dan Leonard, welcome to Cantaloupe Island [uh, that makes me feel a bit Mr Roarke-ish]. you know, I can't believe it when I read people on youtube saying "I've never been interested in jazz". I mean, what there is to be interested in other than jazz??? 🤩 and I'm not even American, I'm Brazilian. jazz is my life.

"I mean, what there is to be interested in other than jazz???" Classical of course. The only other music worth listening to besides jazz and 70's rock.

agreed, Quotenwagnerianer. still, jazz is my religion and Keith Jarrett is The Lord Of My Soul.

San Eckelhöfer Keith Jarret is amazing, especially in his vocal albums. I also think he did the best cover of Autumn leaves out there. He opened the frontiers of jazz to me leading to artists like John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck. If you like more modern jazz, I can recommend Kamasi Washington and Thundercat. There is also an amazing Brazilian electronic artist who has been blending the art of jazz with fascinating sampling techniques called ‘Amon Tobin’. His album Permutation is unlike anything Ive heard, although it’s not for everyone, but it’s worth a try.

Great Ensemble...Smooth

I'm sure at some point he was like, "people probably expect me to play the piano so I need to learn piano" and then he did

Jeff works the room.

ezioch thanks man!

@@jazzstorie OK... Searching the comments for the name of that guitar player. Son of a gun, it turns out to be John Storie - You have a new fan, and that stuff you were doing is next to impossible!

If you’ve never seen Jeff in the remake of ‘The Fly’ you should absolutely check it out. Apart from being a great movie he also had a scene where he plays piano and shows off a little more than in this video, still love his playing here though. He has another piano scene in ‘Earth Girls Are Easy’ but that one might be harder to find.

headknocker 2020 - I've never seen the remake of The Fly, I'm a big fan of the earlier David Cronenberg version - what a fantastic film. Actually Jeff plays a little bit of piano in that one, too - just briefly. Jeff also was in one of the only jazz films that didn't make me cringe, "Lush Life", where he very convincingly plays a tenor sax player - that's a good film and depicts the day-to-day life of a New York jazz musician, working Broadway shows, doing session work to make a living, besides playing jazz.

92ninersboy I’ll have to look that up I’ve never even heard of that one! And the cronenberg version of the fly was the one I’m talking about lol, it’s a remake of the original black and white one.

@@headknocker2020 Oh yeah, Cronenberg took "The Fly" to a whole other Cronenbergian universe than the original movie with Vincent Price that I don't even think of it as a remake. "Lush Life" is hard to find, very much for a niche audience of authentic jazzers, but I think its available as an import dvd. Well worth checking out if you're tired of sappy Hollywood takes on the jazz life.

Thanks dude!! Was an honor to be on it 🎸😎

Getting tyner vibes from his solos. Love his voicings

San Eckelhöfer San Eckelhöfer Don’t forget he was also a fuzzy alien from outer space who crash landed on earth and spoke English backwards , Earth Girls Are Easy is a lesser known Jeff film. Very weird but has some hilarious parts along with some awesome co-stars and the lovely Geena Davis returning alongside him.

wow! gonna check it out. I've just looked it up on Google and found "a trio of aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans)" yay I love them all ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thanks, headnocker2020! I wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄

@@sandraeckelhofer Nah... Try Ichabod Crane and Tenspeed and Brownshoe... Yeah I went that far back.... LMAO

yeah Joseph Williams, thanks! so, here we are facing 2020 and still commenting on this 👏 👏 👏 Happy Holidays! 😊

San Eckelhöfer Actually, I saw this by a peculiar course of events-his eyeglasses. I found an article about what frames he wears (Jaqueline Marie Mage) after seeing a pair at an opticians. Cool. I recall seeing him in a show in the 70s with BenVereen called “Tenspeed and Brownshoe” and thinking he’s so gangly and the personality I saw him portray that I thought would be a great Ichabad Crane and years later he was. Now he’s a jazzman-art never stops! Happy Holidays to you too!

Every time I see Jeff Goldblum he's usually loving something so much that you can definitely tell.

Hypno yess indeed!

I like him. he's a bit cooooooky.

just a bit, right Sarah Knight? 😉 but he's very charming, looks great. and he can actually play, I didn't expect that. I didn't know it.

The faces were throwing me at first. But the man is loving the show and loving putting a show on for us! Hopefully Mr. Goldbum has helped jazz find new fans!

Well, he's an actor...

Just ask him about the flesh he will tell you you know nothing about it!

Katrina Fernando the sexual tension is undeniable.

You didn't see his face at the beginning? Jeff had someone impregnated by the 15 second mark!

its like hes eating my ass right now

@@gloverelaxis um. What😂😂😂

Absolutely correct. This is the audible equivalent of foreplay

Disagree. This video strikes a thoughtful balance between the attraction of star power and the generosity of that star when working within a talented ensemble. The visuals predominantly feature Mr. Goldblum because he’s the front man that is driving the clicks. The casual viewer primarily wants to see him and everyone involved in the production recognizes that fact. And c’mon - Goldblum’s facial expressions are an enjoyable lead performance in their own right!! But instead of mere showboating they serve to visually recognize and interact with all the various solos and fills of all his bandmates. In these reactions to what we are all hearing, Goldblum becomes a silent master of ceremonies who repeatedly deflects the focus back to the musicians if one is actively listening more than just passively watching. And for the music itself he humbly takes a back seat in the overall sound mix and arrangement. Without going back and counting, it seemed like he only took a single 8-bar pass for his solo and then stepped back out the way again. You can’t please all of the people - but Goldblum, the band, and the producers have crafted a very tasty treat that will greatly please the other 99%.

Zapam wamba zaddyyyyy

Daddy Goldblum indeed!!

SPILL THE TEA same

@@Abigart69 me too and mine was hot

Same

YESSS!! I missed his laughter when Goldblum starts to swing

yeah same

Triad, scmiad!! Come on!! Who really cares?? Should music only be appreciated and critiqued by the most knowledgable, pedigreed musician, or can ordinary, common people like me, (who wouldn't know a triad unless it walked up to me and introduced itself) just simply enjoy what I am hearing/?? Did I miss something by not knowing a major triad???

Umm... Sorry..? @@jlarm3

so close. Yet so far

It's half of the licc, then a major key licc a third higher.
