The drummer is Louis Cole, who is a true musical genius and an amazing multi-instrumentalist. All of his projects are spectacular. Knower and Clowncore are both brilliant groups, but Cole's solo stuff is truly next level. It's a beautiful mixture of funk, pop, and modern jazz. I STRONGLY suggest watching his 2019 live concert that he has on his RU-vid channel. You've never seen anything like it.
Great selection of tunes. Thanks so much for featuring what I see as part of the future of jazz. I stumbled across the Knower duo of Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi a couple of years ago. Love it so much. And they've been around for many years - Lady Gaga is 2014 but All Nothing...is from 2023 so they have a dedicated following. And both Cole and Artadi have full solo careers, particularly Cole, who released a new album last year. Suffice to say its a fun and diverse rabbit hole indeed. Thanks Nick!
Louis is dropping another album in August, recorded with the Metropole Orchestra. He is absolutely pouring out music non-stop right now and I so fortunate to be alive to watch and hear it happen.
If you’re cool with this, it’s time to go down the rabbit hole. Knower drummer Louis Cole and sax player Sam Gendel are also - allegedly- members of ClownCore. Be prepared, because this is bizarre, but also astonishing musicianship. Take a look at either ‘Earth’, or even better ‘Computers’. I promise, everything will be different.
I never heard and never knew but now I know more got to check even more out. Thanks for the video introduction Dave and Nick. I’m slowly catching up and getting in the know.
I love that they use the sight gags to bring attention to parts of the music. It really serves well. Like I specifically noticed the keyboard part in that one part was INDEED sick.
@@chrisf.685 I have "heard" of Clown Core but I only heard one song and can't remember the name of it but it was a bit Jazzy..I will listen to more of them. Most of their songs are short. I'll Thank You now for calling them to my attention. Thank You!
If you like the comments section in videos, check out Knower's P.Y.T comment section. There is one comment near the top that probably surprised them and well as everyone else. ;)
I've been listening to Knower for a long time, and was curious about your reaction. Great video; you clearly appreciate what they are doing and their creative process. But dude, you have over 100K subscribers and make reaction videos: go ahead and pay for Premium. Your viewers will thank you.
hey nick can for your next marathon can u please do my suggestions if u forgot then there are i remember by deadmau5 the mau is pronounced like mouse if u did not no so yeah deadmau5 i remember the sapce between by zero 7 and warm sounds by zero 7 and make sure to do the vocal mix version of i remember because that is pretty much the unmixed version
*DAVE! Thank You! I HAD to share this band with N&L as a "Surprise" because I'm a Metalhead & Progger primarily, but listen to other musics that have HIGH creativity and musicianship, and this just blew me the F away.* I wish Lexi was there for this one, but I KNOW she is gonna' rock out on this! It's possible Nick has missed my texts and comments about these guys. Knew NOTHING about them until running into their videos by accident maybe 3 months ago . . . and they've been around for "10" years. They look like they are all under "30" at the time (I am actually surprised that they are older!), but there is SOOOOO much talent. Like "fords" said; "...what I see as part of the future of jazz." Overtime alone, I must have seen over 20 times already, already on a themed playlist and would LOVE to see these guys live. The Keyboardist "Rai Thistlethwayte" Thiss-sil-wait (wow! he's actually 40) has been making the rounds at NAMM but has a successful career in various bands and as a session player. Get this, currently with "Joe Satriani" (Nick checkout his wiki-page, has influences after our own hearts). The "band" has many interchanging members, but on Overtime, I think vocalist "Genevieve Artadi" & Bassist "Sam Wilkes" (THE "STANK FACES"!!!
Thanks to you both!! I mentioned our conversation to them when we were at dinner one night and also told them we were getting tickets but they've been pretty busy!! Hopefully this marathon will convince them to come with us. Another one of my favorites is More Than Just Another Try. So haunting... It's rare that I will even listen to something just from a comment, but I was so intrigued about how much you raved about them I had to check them out. The only other time I did this was due to a Gentle Giant comment and I'm so glad I did as that, also, was a life-changing experience! I have learned I should do this more often! It's relatively difficult for me to discover music that really captures me, which is a huge factor in me following this channel (Nick and Lex being amazing people aside). In fact for many years I didn't even listen to any new music because I couldn't find anything that excited me. So again, thank you thank you thank you!!!! I'm so excited for their show next week.
@@shiftingperception Same here (behind on videos), and on top of that, creating a 3 Part "Themed" playlist that started on "Cassettes" when I was in my 20's :p. Glad my "Request" paid-off :D. BTW - what is _your_ 1st name? Nick mentions it often, but I'm BAD remembering names. I may have a few new "Prog Metal" (and Harder Progressive Rock) compilation playlists to share with you (and whomever else is interested :).
@mvunit3 My first name is Lee. My middle name is Anthony and my nickname growing up was Tony which is how I remembered yours! I still have your first playlist saved, I randomly check out tracks as time permits here and there.
