Louis Cole, Sam Wilkes, Jacob Mann, Rai Thistlethwayte - jam or whatever at Jazz à la Villette 

Sam Wilkes gotta be one of my favorite bassists on the scene. Dudes thought process for variations on grooves is so original, so funky, and just nasty. Fuckin love it

If every drummer could play as consistently as Louis, drum machines would never have been invented.

Sam wilkes is a GOD

11:06 holy fuck, the bassline. that guy is unreal.

man i miss live music :(

I'm old, and I still think this is what it's all about. The trick is, "You have to have SOMETHING to say," and I think these younger people absolutely do. It's like Rave meets Jazz with some peanut butter in the middle (with an Oreo). 😎

Random sax guy appears and absoloutely kills it

Cyborgs that listened to a lot of Prince.

I like the way the girl behind Louis feels the music The performance is insane, great chemistry on stage

Track list: Buts & tits and money - knower Nightmare - knower (New album) Failing in a cool way - Louis Cole

whoever was dancing behind louis cole is, as the kids call it, "a mood"

Also Sam Wilkes, holy fuck. Those bass lines, they're like a synth.

Sax player killed it, where's the credit?

So cool to hear an old live version of "Fail in a Cooler Way" - before it had lyrics, it seems. Louis is a genuis. Amazing video.

As musical as it gets. A good strong funk beat can be danced to. Proof is the girl behind Louis.

That is the dankest soprano sax I ever heard. My boy is funk

Damn that note stand. I want to see Sam play.

Sam with the Jimi Hendrix "wind cries Mary" lick 4:50

Guuuuuurl, well done on dancing to the entire jam session. She's literally portaying how I feel on the inside listening to this, but I could never...😂 These guys are so frickin awesome.

wow louis cole smiles sometimes

Yo, can Rai get credit on here? Both keys and random cymbalage. This is killer though!

all we need is sam wilkes and joe dart to collab.

8:46 Rai with the perfect crash sync with Louis🤣

Is this Jazz? Because if this is what Jazz is then I like Jazz.

How quickly the crowd stops clapping after the first fill. 😂😂

seeing them play on such a raw video really made me realise how good they are. the live sesh videos also do that, but this almost feels like i'm in the room.

I hear Genevieve's voice in my head

6:06 the guy behind louis has a latency of a half beat

I love how the end part of this jam became "Failing in a Cool Way". Took a badass jam and expanded on it. Well done lads!

Funk ain't dead, it just looks ugly.

8:46 is some of the most wholesome collaborative energy i've ever witnessed

Rai Thiss! Omitted but your skillz are acknowledged, wizard.

That bass player got clean groove

I got to see Knower last week. Louis and Genevieve were great but it would have been cool if there was a Sam or two there as well.

4:01 me af

in the 90s this would have caused a mosh pit

sax player I believe is Jowee Omicil .... Brilliant musician .. I could be wrong so it would be great if anyone else could verify.. just recognized his sound/style

What's the sax players name?

The way louis sped up and slowed down, combined with the synth solo, this reminded me a lot of "the wrinkle" by miles davis, a fun fusion funk jam from his 80s stuff

fu34in insane jogger jazz pants wiggling shouting on the 4 beast mode jam.

Sam is a hell of a bass player.

Saving these bass lines for later 6:27

The part at 10:04 reminds me so much of clown core - earth

HOLY FUCK!! WHEN YOU GO FROM AC/DC TO AD/HD IN ONE GENERATION!!

C'est juste impossible de ne pas avoir un sourire de 3km de long quand on voit Sam jouer =D !! J'ai rarement vu un musicien s'éclater autant

Wow that solo at 10:38 ahaha :) Thanks for the recording!

Whole video was dope but from 10:04 till the end was oh my god

I just love the girl dancing behind Louis. Just feeling it. So great.

"Louis Cole, Sam Wilkes" ok that is something i can get behind

4:14 extremely agressive fat snare

This is the music to the funkiest Mega Man level ever!

Thank you for recording this, it's filled with so much energy and the performance is superb!

when it went halftime straight filth

early nightmare Interpolation?

Sorry Joe, but to me it‘s 1. Sam Wilkes, 2. Joe Dart.

Pro level mic consumption 8:52

I loooooooooooove it. You just remember how much you live music. That room is feeding the musicians and the musicians feeds back. And that 'swing' you can only experience live.

It’s weird how when you watch a Clown Core vid it links straight to Louis Cole 😂😂😂

6:30.... Woooo

Where’s Genevieve!

Bass: Sam Wilkes N°1

We need more music like this.

around 3:50....wait there are three hands on the keys...

hahaha i love the ",but mean it" moment

This popped in the algorithm right after I watched the Suns advance to the finals. Damnit RU-vid, you got me

nerding out has a new meaning

Alright, George Collier, you're up. Seriously though, this looks like the funnest gig ever.

this is pure fire

Lol thats a funky crowd

that's the kinda show I wanna go to!

5:10 shows how amazing Sam's awareness is. So simply just bringing it all back together.

That fast funky baseline sounds a lot like a baseline of the Groove Collective back in the early/mid 90's.

Filthy Fantastic.

Come to Belgrade, please, please, please!!!!

Sam on bass!!!!!!!!!

Rai was hovering like a bird of prey waiting for its opportunity to strike.

Whatever recorded this sounds better than some engineered mixes smh AMAZING

lol y'all it's not improv, learn some KNOWER tunes

Slowing this to half speed so I can play along with Sam is my new favorite bass drill

somehow when the straight sax comes to play the tune just got more cool.

I was today years when I found that Rai from Thirsty Merc is the absolute beast on piano. I want to know how this relationship happened.

Before Jacob Mann put the "o" in Rolando.

I’m curious about the arguments they have. If that’s possible…

If you've got any more footage of Rai, and he doesn't mind, please post it. Can't get enough of his art. Saying that, I digged the other players too. The soprano sax guy was killa.

A bunch of human radios that are absolutely on the same vibe. Just one big breathing grooving monster.

That was so so so so so so beautiful

would love to be in a wild crowd like this, so cool

had to check my playback speed to make sure it wasn't on 1.5x

Louis Cole fans need to know about Jeff Sipe, if they don't already.

Huge. Come and play with us in Proland.

Siiiick

i love Rai Thistlethwayte.

If I had to use one word to sum up this experience of a video, it would just be Joy.

Imagine having to follow that!🤣🤣🤣

SAM IN-THE-F*CKING-POCKET WILKES!

Jacob Mann, man... so laid back

6:29 circle of fifths but make it ✨jazz✨

You guys are just plain awesome.

People at a jazz fest clapping out of time 0:48 they cant even help themselves hahah!

This is great, but we need more cowbell.
