Emmet Cohen, piano & TJ Reddick, drums *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *“Let the swing rain down upon thee..”* *“They can hate but we still swingin..”* And my personal favorite - *“Everyone gangsta till the swing tilt dirty.”* 🔥🔥🔥 And this is one of the many reasons why we adore the *chemistry & charisma of Sebastian Rios, Abdias Armenteros, and TJ Reddick* - the members of the *New Jazz Underground.* These cats are making masterful music & supplying us with mantras, while they’re at it. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ However, don’t be mistaken: *Their sound surpasses what the word ‘jazz’ could ever capture.* 🔊🌍♾ The trio’s depth exposes the limitations of the four letter word, that’s used to describe the Black American music tradition. Their art is committed to preserving a legacy without loopholes. There are no shortcuts. . . But simply showing up. 🙏🏽♥ The goal ? - Make it *New.* And do it *Underground.* *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ They aren’t here to reinvent the wheel. Yet, they’re swinging their axles off -*driving deeper into the roots of this tradition.* 🔥⚙ *Our excitement grows as we hear the layers of musical influences within their imaginative & effortless swing…* 🎯 We get a dose of their ‘Juilliard juice’ ….and we feel a connection to a culture & ethic that fueled the early masters, beyond conservatory walls. 🎼❤ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Being *‘underground’* is not simply a departure from the mainstream. It is where the most labor intensive efforts to create one’s art, takes place. *It is the work that nobody sees, that bears the fruit everyone wants to hear.* 🎶🚧🌍 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Yes. There’s something special about these guys that brings to mind an established universal law: *Good cats, attract good cats.* ✨🪐 The New Jazz Underground consistently *invites excellence into their sphere,* where each member humbly holds the privilege of working with luminaries of this tradition. 🙏🏽🔥🎹 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This session in Emmet’s living room represents a *collaboration of cats who transformed a digital space, when artistry was threatened & inspiration was running dry.* ⛲🎭 They stretched our panorama during the pandemic - helping to prove what was possible. This same objective was shared by *Open Studio as a down-to-earth, online community* - enabling folks to learn with the legends, while bridging a gap between skill, location, & resources. (they hope to achieve the same with EC’s new piano course & we thank them for making this evening possible 🙏🏼🎹🎵♥) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *Establishing heartfelt accessibility is meaningful in this age…* where there’s balance between information & inspiration. ❤ *These cats bring out the best in each other through their musicianship & original compositions.* Moreover, they’re mentoring young artists in discovering the realities of media production & the creation of their musical visions. 📹💻🎼🔥 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Family, this is what the masters dedicated their lives to…transcending barriers & demographics. We occupy this moment because of their resilience. - *May each one of us expand our roots as they water us from above.* *“Let the swing rain down upon thee.”* 🙌🏽☔🎶🌎 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Love y’all ! Thanks emmet for having us !

My kids are going crazy watching 2 of their favorite channels make magic

Glad to see the young people having a appreciation for what some thought was an lost art 🪘💯🎼🥁🎤🎸🎺🪈🎷🪕🎻🎹👏🏿

Danggg legendary collab!!

New jazz underground at emmets place sponsored by open studio. What a triple threat of jazz media legends!

seeing a colab between the first two channels where I really discovered jazz as a high school student is something else man

What a bass player! Omg. Sebastian Rios what a find! He’s going to be one of the greats. I have a feeling him and Emmet will be playing a lot more together. Drummer is awesome also, such sensitive touch, not playing too loudly, so perfectly balancing the band dynamics. Emmet as always is amazing. But honestly Sebastian Rios is one of the best bassists I’ve ever heard. Great job guys 👏

Looking forward to joining you on the bandstand soon, young man.

These guys are no joke; jazz lives.

this is fucking history

It's performances like this from the younger generation that reaffirms Jazz is in good hand and the baton is being passed.

This is probably the best group I have herd at Emmett's place. Thank you all for sharing your immense talent!

OMG!!!!!! YAW'LL JAMMED THIS!!!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE 50 YEARS OF LIFE and 25 year love affair with jazz. Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 #legendary #iconicsession

Jazz isn’t going away anytime soon!

These three guys get better and better each time from the beginning. I love them !

This is cool and these guys are great. Real music and real musicianship. I'm 66 and find this music grounding and stimulating and relaxing. I'm from the SF Bay Area and saw a lot of concerts of every type of music on all levels during the 70's and 80's. Lots of TV On The Radio hybrids, all thoughtful. I saw Brubeck and BB King on the same bill in the late 80's and Stevie Wonder, Madonna and Prince twice. I saw Prince twice the same night; an 8pm arena show in Oakland then a 2am intimate show at SF's Warfield Theater. Rosie Gaines graduated my year from my high school and fronted Prince's New Power Generation band before gaining her own following as a solo artist. Curt Ohlson graduated a year ahead of me and played bass for Ray Charles before going solo. Stevie Wonder shocked us by performing at my high school for Black History Month in 1973 at the height of his "Taking Book" album. The son of Arif Mardin lived in my NYC building. I have lived a life immersed in and adjacent to music without being a musician myself. It's life-affirming to know young people are still playing and composing jazz music. It took until my retirement to find the time to actually enjoy my massive jazz music collection and now I can watch jazz performances of those guys from every decade on RU-vid, which is a dream. Focusing on jazz and just having it on as background are different experiences. RU-vid is becoming my main streaming platform because of videos like this. So much viscerally satisfying stuff. Like this post.

My 2 favorite jazz RU-vidrs came together. F yes!

Can’t wait for an NJU album 💿

Wow never even thought about this collab happening, what an amazing surprise

Great jazz is Alive and kicking brilliantly bringing it to the future as old jazz musician cooking and tastes smells so sweet 😎💯👏

Old school Don Byas/ Eddie Lockjaw sound…embracing the lower register of the saxophone Finally someone who doesn’t need to sound like Brecker…

So cool to see giant forces uniting! Killin yall! Keep it up!

There's something so special about this group ♥️

Thanks so much for posting

My 1st time hearing these guys. I'm enthused!

Nice performance and high quality! We are live streaming in Japan aiming for this quality!!

Emmet & New Jazz Underground. 👏👍

It's great to see young cats playing the great American art form. 👍🏾💯💯✅

I guess they aint the underground no more! Badass af!

I’ve been tuning into TNJU since they first appeared on YT. Great to see them here!

This group is out of this world 😍

Around the 1:57:00 mark is probably my favourite double bass solo in terms of melody, phrasing, and interest.

Been waiting for this one to happen.

Beautiful horn player Beautiful tone

Another swinging session. Thanks for introducing me to these inspiring young musicians. Abdias Armenteros is certainly a thoughtful and lyrical improviser!

Julian Lage next, please!

Nice, Nice. The video’s much later than the audio.
