You know, I'm not sure destroyed is the right word. He took it to dinner, shared a wonderful meal, took it home, showed it the time of its life. This was the most thoroughly relaxed obliteration I've ever heard.

Elevated command of the harmonic structure, yet constantly melodic. Not sure I've ever heard anyone do this better.

Nice comping by the guitarist!

@EvanFromJersey 5 лет назад

2:12, among other moments, sounds exactly like a Coltrane lick. This is original and badass in general

@MrMattSax 5 лет назад

Seamus is underappreciated. Such a great player.

@jordanleicht 5 лет назад

I feel like he's very highly regarded by a lot of jazz fans! Saying he's underappreciated makes it seem like not a lot of people know about him but I think they do.

@MrMattSax 23 дня назад

@@jordanleichtinsiders and aficionados certainly know him, but he hasn’t risen to the recognition of Marsalis, Potter, Brecker, Redman, Garret, etc and I think that’s unfortunate. He’s clearly on a par with them all.

@@MrMattSax Hey Matt, 4 years later! Pretty funny, I just listened to this again two days ago. I agree with what you're saying. He's on par with the best of the best!

@jamieduong6799 3 года назад

Just recently checked out Seamus and found him to be a very great player! Love his technics, space usage and melodic build on his lines. It's good to see how he made good uses of space without being too technical with his fast lines. Saw on a video that he played with Michael Brecker which already blew my mind!

@SidLaw500 4 года назад

So nice to hear this feel!! Every musician should NOT make it a track meet. (Unless, of course, they REALLY want to) BTW, this guy's great...sweet vibe.

@aubreycamachomd5717 3 года назад

While those negative comments are probably "tongue-in-cheek," Seamus Blake can rest comfortably among the list of others like him...Gene Ammons, Art Pepper, Alto Maddness (Richie Cole), David Sanborn, Phil Woods, Joe Lovano, Joe Farrell, Bob Mintzer, Tom Scott, and Scott Hamilton just to name a few. Listen to his notes and not view his hue.

@michaelarndt3823 2 года назад

John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and Kenny Garret, are in a league of their own.

This is as good or better than Trane's original solo. Honestly. He's playing through, around, under, over, and in those changes like it's his first language.

@ScottRutledge 5 лет назад

Its really something. He’s a great player. Very intuitive, super technical yet melodic, with warmth. Reminds me of Brecker, a bit relaxed and warmer.

@@kleinequietboykleinequietb7126 Woah there cat. I don't know if some other comment was deleted that warranted such an aggressive response, but as it stands this is way off base. Please, cool it and just enjoy this recording in the awe that it creates. OP simply made an observation and that he would now go listen to the original to compare. He wasn't trashing Seamus at all. You, on the other hand, practically murderer this poor guy in proverbial cold blood. As I said, if there was another comment that was deleted, then disregard this whole comment. If not, take a chill pill.

@charlierumoldboi3939 5 лет назад

Sorry, but he's not destroying it. This is a very relaxed version and not only that his timing is very suspect at the beginning of his solo. The drummer also needs a bit more imagination. Sorry!

How is his timing suspect? He's swinging his ass off and playing so melodically and creatively over the changes throughout the entire solo. It doesn't have to be burn out all the time buddy!
