Jon Cleary: Piano, Bass & Drums (w/ Johnny Vidacovich) - Reconsider Baby - Get Low Down 11/12/11 

I really appreciate the way Vidacovich moves when he's playing: fluid yet rhythmic.

This really is the best shuffle I've ever heard.

James Singleton!

This totally groovin'! What a lesson in pocket playing. Great shuffle!

The more I hear JV the more I understand why he's so special. He's really got a fantastic melodic approach to drumming that you just don't hear... especially in younger players. Speed and chops are fashionable but they don't make heads bob like the audience here.

this is great to watch, three guys really communicating to each other on stage

Johnny Vidacovich on drums.One of Stanton Moore's teachers.

Watching JV find the groove at the start of a song is fantastic. He becomes the groove.

Wow, Johnny is fantastic, especially on get down low. And the audience is so small - lucky people get to see Jon Cleary up close and personal.

I absolutely love the feeling & exuberance Jon Cleary brings! It is so, so great!

What a man..I didn’t know that De Niro also was a talented musician

Robert DeNiro can throw a hell of a piano solo :)

Johnny Killed it! what a groove.

I think this is the best JV I've heard. What a groove master. Wonderful Trio.

johnny v. slaying in this

kick on 2 and 4. Grooving!

That’s what funk will make ya do. Lord have mercy!

Johnny V killing it on the shuffle! One of the hardest things to play on a drumset.

Trio maravilhoso. Rio de Janeiro, 27 de Outubro de 2016.

if that sound is really only from the Shoeps mics, that was A: a great sounding gig, and B: a great position to capture it, well done! Wish other RU-vid live vids sounded as good as this, very rare and awesome, thank you!

jon is the best

this guy (johnny)has several screws loose (as we say round here) but in the best way possible one of my 3 fav. ed blackwell herlin reily and mr. vidacovich🪘🥁🪘

that music is comin straight up out of the ground and spittin out his fingetips! possessed by the groove!

that is the best shuffle i have ever heard

Ah, Mr. Scott. Music gets labelled with names like R 'n' B so it can be sold. I don't think there was ever a genre that was named by a musician; it was always the press or record companies. As for the music here, well replace those drums with an electronic set, put an electric with a fuzz 'n' octave divider in the bass players hands and give Mr. Cleary a synth and then what've you got? Music is music. Good, bad or - sadly - indifferent, it is what it is, labelled or not. As for this clip, as a drummer I'm intrigued by Mr. Vidacovitch, who I've known of for many years. How anyone can ebb and flow with such musical empathy deserves a medal.

Open your ears, open your mind.

Kick on the 2 and the 4... anybody notice?

That's drumming.

plays the time wit a roll.....i like that beat.........

This is badassssss

Oh, yeah! The way it should be. Thanks for posting.

Looks like Jon's left foot keeps trying to dance its way off stage, like at 3:06....

Tasty

Heh Jon calling Johnny V a 'sloppy fucker' around 5:20. joking you'd have to presume

There are hundreds of restaurants in New Orleans and one menu. Same with music. Everyone's selling the same old shit.
