We see you & we appreciate you.🙏🏽 *Our love to you, the Trio, & the cats, -and we do not take a single moment for granted.* 🎹🎻🥁 And I’m thanking the Universe for the safe travel, that brought you guys to the corners of the world to share this musical tradition and the care that gently brought you back to Harlem. 🌃🎼🎵🎹 For all creatives, swingers, seekers, & lovers of this music: *Life’s rhythm changes may throw us off, but the music anchors us to a priceless Life Source.* 🔥 There is no end to what this music can achieve & no end to the inspiration that it ignites. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *Dayna Stephens & Josh Evans came up in a big way & changed the living room landscape with their versatility & finesse.* They won us over with their outstanding musicianship & just being genuinely gracious guys. 🔥🎺🎷🎶. On this night, the boundless dimensions of sound reveal the possibilities that await us. The EWI beckoned. *One of the most satisfying moments was to simply listen & observe how the Trio supported Dayna & Josh during their musical expedition.* This was new territory for Emmet’s crib - *a region on the outer limits of acoustics…where brass, reeds, & synth form a beautiful alliance.* - Ethereal, futuristic, swingin’ stuff. Little Sunflower blossomed into a solar storm. 🙌🏽🌻💥 🔥 Keep supporting these cats with blazing, heartfelt intention. Keep showing your love of this music with the same love that it has shown us. ♥️ Sending highest vibes as we continue this journey.

Cheers to the Finest Young Pianist of this generation!! There is no one that finds the guys ( all amazing) who put ( S) into the word swing. Emmett brings joy to everyone who even walks by a second of his work. He deserves the accolades of Errol Garner both for his playing arrangements and spontaneity. I would kill to clean his Kitchen just to hear them live. Thank you for all love you put into what you do. Peace

josh evans got that raw sound. dig it.

I love Danya's time feel and use of space. Real old school touch that's just a pleasure to listen to. Thank you all 🙏

You sent Freddies Sunflowers to the outer outer space, loved it!

Glad to see a few cats here I know personally. Great job Dayna and Josh

This session is like opening a Treasure Chest of Glistening Gold, Emeralds and Diamonds. I love the way allayall wrap this thing up in the last 10 min.. It's the pinnacle of Minimum motion with Maximum Results productivity. Liquid horn & sax 4 sure. Bass & Percussion is absolutely refined. That big Boss Sax is Smokin with them low end notes. The piano is the stitched up seam that holds it all together.

Philip Norris...Awesome bass player !!!😅😅

THat guy played lead trumpet in my band!!!

Strange to think that it took about 40 years from Buddy Bolden to Dizzy, Miles, Clark Terry, Fats Navarro…But when Freddie Hubbard created his style (about 60 years after Bolden), who would have assumed that another 60 later it would still be considered the dernier cri?

That Body and Soul....🕶🕶🔥🔥

Very good. Thank you.

Danke!

Very Boss. I sure hope U Mirror this onto RUMBLE ASAP. There's untold thousands there that will appreciate it and share it.

I love the spit screen!

Madness.

42:10 Ewi 4000s yes !!!!!

Nice nice nicer nicest

Oh man, how GREAT! Love Genius Emmet and all the players, of course, but being an amateur saxist, I’m drawn to Danya. I found the LIVE stream when he was blowing a “A Baritone Blues” beg. @1:45:41. Fun! ...On RU-vid replay today, I see he blows The Holy Grail Body+Soul beg. @1:33:13. WOW! THANK YOU, Emmet!!

Could more venues do this today, or do they see emmet's as a sample to attract business?
