Have been a musician for over forty years, and have been a follower of the greatest. I can truly say that I have been to the top of the mountain. These musicians are the tightest I have ever seen. Talent personified. The integration and the sheer musicality of their combined talents are amazing. Thank you for putting this on your sight. I will be back! 💞💕♥
Wow!!! What a magic sound...Jeff Lorber...Gino Vannelli...cick Corea...Mezzo forte....this Is Amazing fusion jazz...thanks for show us this Wonder music...❤❤❤
tutti bravissim Matteo è inutile parlare, Federico spaziale con il suo fraseggio, Manuele Montesanti mi ha fatto piangere col suo solo alla tastiera..ma che pulizia e tenica il batterista Daniele Chiantese!..meritava anche lui un piccolo "solo"
Great find, stellar viruosos all 4, and the compositions are stunning. They are meshing so intricately, the transitions seamless, balanced interplay. Matteo's melodies are soaring, phrasing impeccable, not one note too many, all perfectly executed. Staggering amount of talent and taste. Real music, real art. They more than got this.... 😂🎶😅
Reminds me when I saw Jay Azzolina with David Mann at a jazz club in Cape May NJ right before he joined Spyro Gyra. I was on vacation, and me and my bro went to the club, expecting normal bar jazz. It was not. It was top notch 80's electrik jazz. This band gives me that 80's vibe big time! Excellent.
Stellar!!!!!!! While listening to this it occurred to me that one cannot attain higher conscienceness without truly pursuing music as a player, performer or afficianoto. The universe, after all, is coalesced together by vibrational energy. And look on your face during the playthough was complete joy. Bravo to all!!!
I'm going to have to watch this video four times. I watched this video because it has matteo in it, but there were honestly times when I was distracted from watching him by the incredible stuff the other players were putting out. So now I have to watch it four times so I can study each one individually and totally appreciate the incredible virtuoso on display here. Awesome awesome...
SO much to enjoy in that one and so many various elements ….. 🌈🌙🌟✨🤩🤗 ….. and what a beautiful landing/ending of the journey😌😊☺️. They are just Great all of them imo.💚. Have you heard Manuele Montesantis/Drift Labs “Voltage”?: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D1Lfpk2xA_k.html The beginning sounds very much like something Jarrod Lawson-ish in my ears (remember him mentioned before?😉) - really like that, too🥰. And then it takes off in several various directions😄 - a synth beauty in my opinion with even a nip of Infected Mushroom-spice in the sauce between the soft landscapes, groovy sections etc. Really like this special one with “just” him as well 🌈☺️. In addition to that I Really think that you would like the Drift Lab->Labs/“Japanese Experiment” project with the same b.a. guys😅 as here in “Moonlight”🤗: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z5uhEA3Lbas.html (Maybe you already know it? If not maybe a reaction suggestion, too?😉😄).
Я сначала подумал что человек оценивает звучание композиции, но я оказался не прав. Он истинный ценитель музыки, а не не просто звукорежиссёр. Как тонко он понимает все кайфовые моменты... Возможно он сам не сможет так сделать на инструменте, но от такого как он кайфует, становится понятным, что он действительно любит и понимает красивую( я не имею ввиду высокотехничную, без настоящих эмоций) музыку. Спасибо ему. Спасибо за то, что открывает перед нами таких кайфовых музыкантов. Удачи мужик))
Wow, what a gem!!! They are all italian, never heard about Drift Lab, my bad lol (Daniele´s surname is pronounced Kiantaese btw). Matteo´s tone in this reminds me of Steve Hackett, all 4 have their distinct tonal role and platform - great! Very melodic + with surprising shifts between the parts, nothing is overdone but truly virtuosic. Thank you for another rabbit hole Jeff ;-)it´
Hey people! In Italy we have for years jazz and non -jazz musicians, who have nothing to envy from musicians from all over the world. The masters of the first period are about 60-70 years old (I remember any - Gigi Cifarelli guitarist; Fabrizio Bosso, Paolo Fresu, Enrico Rava, Stefano Bollani, Danilo Rea and many still) but among the very young Matteo Mancuso (Born 22 November 1996!!!!!!!) goes beyond the Italian borders. He has a technique and taste not of this world. I hope he is more and more luck, even to play with the great jazz. Maybe you don't know but he hasn't recorded an album yet.
Good morning FRIEND ya conocía a Federico oooooooh increíble bajista, pero no conocía a Matteo, guauuuuuuuuu el mejor descubrimiento desde Nieri, es un guitarrista exquisito, magistral, ESTELAR jaja. Me encanta ver como lo disfrutas siempre a mi me pasa igual me emociono como el que más, la música es mi talismán principal, no podría vivir sin ella, es mi fiel compañera, yo vivo en España, en las montañas de la Rioja en un pequeño refugio hace 18 años jaja pero la música nunca me falto, mi héroe de héroes por siempre será Allan, pero todo musico virtuoso y exquisito me emociona GRACIAS POR TU BUENA ONDA Y ENERGIA
Remembered interesting story with Feraud and Malaman. Feraud told that first he met him and thought like that's a cool dude i like him. And only after that he saw him playing
Hey there, Jeff :) Why can't we leave it up to musicians to run the world. The contrast between how politicians and capitalists run the world and the world of such immense beauty that exists in music(ians)... it's hard to believe that they even co exist. This was beautiful. Thank you! :D
This piece is so relaxing (I like some wild music). We gotta unwind sometime! I really like watching Drift-Lab play the keys. Just watching his fingers move. I'm not a musician, but, is that a double keyboard? Or two?
Thanks for accepting my request man !! Driftlab is an underated band, and i'm feel happy to see this band get more recognition out there.. Really digging for your next reaction videos of Matteo mancuso and the drift lab 🤘🔥
I would recommend you to checkout Andre nieri's Band in the two tone sessions (they are as good as the driftlab !!), and their songs like Fred, lake Elsinore, and Brazilian fusion is really really amazing.. i think Matteo mancuso and Andre nieri is the best modern guitarist right now
Ridiculous…..in a good sense obviously. The band is incredible. Matteo is simply in a world of his own. I can’t help to think what young players who will have been inspired him will be capable of.
