Shaun Martin - Yellow Jacket (7 Summers) 

i am utterly shocked while typing this because our man Shaun Martin passed away, rest in peace fly high! 🕊🕊

I used to study this over and over. Rest In Heaven Shaun!

Just heard he passed today. Geez what a legacy. Rest well.

still don't believe you've passed away Shaun. Rest In Peace Maestro ❤

This lovely piece will forever remain a symbol of his legacy. RIP Shaun Martin, never to be forgotten.

Had to come back to this. Thanks for everything, Shaun

One of the most beautiful compositions of the modern jazz era, easily.

Rest In Peace, Thank you for all the beautiful music and the inspiration.

Another great musician gone. Listening to yellow jacket with tears in my eyes.

Impossible to hear this and not be in a good mood after! Thank God a musical genius like Shaun was once among us. May his spirit live forever!

Man!! RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it! This hurts!!

Shaun's music, particularly this song and his amazing work with Snarky Puppy got me through a lot over the years. Hearing that he's gone is really shocking. The world is a colder place for his loss. Thanks for the many, many hours of joy, Shaun. Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace Shaun Martin 🙏🏾

What a lovely song. Tinted a little blue by Shaun Martins passing, but those opening chords still always make me smile. Rest in Peace, and thanks to the rest of the band for making this masterpiece come to life.

RIP Shaun, always love.

R.I.P Shaun, you were a huge inspiration to myself and so many others

incredible but true, rest in peace general , warrior. We are proud of your hard work over the years

😢😢😢 rest in Heaven Shaun. You will be missed.

I am devastated of the news of Shaun Martin passing away. His talent was so good and talented that he fits perfectly with Snarky Puppy. His solo music was masterful and talented. I will continue to listen to his music and praise him for his talents. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He joins a group of talented musicians in heaven that are all playing great music. RIP Shaun Martin!!!!

I couldn't wait to pay my last respect to this man...RIP my king

"I wanna live such a life (so) when death comes people won't morn because I die, They will celebrate because I live." Let's celebrate Shaun. Thanks for the music

This might be 7 years old, but it's my new favourite song. Absolutely cannot get enough

i got into this song recently only to find out weeks later that the legend passed away. My condolences to the Martin family, may God bless their souls

No matter how bad things are in life this song seems to make everything better..

I listened with eyes closed, then listened and watched the video, then listened and read the comments, then listened again. I am so full and at peace. What an amazing roundtable. This should be the setting for all diplomatic events.

cant hold back the tears. Rest in Peace. Not only an amazing player with divine touch, but a great human being too. His face is a reflection of his love for music.

Its 2023 and this is Definitely one of the best jazz songs on the internet today

Just found out he passed away. The amount of times I've had this track on for inspiration, or when I'm feeling down, or when I want to celebrate. Rest in peace.

Prayers up for Shaun every day man ❤

I'm here because I've heard of his passing. This track is a firm favourite and is on my 5 year old's playlist. RIP Mr Martin.

The intro just sounds like: "Oh Give Thanks Unto the Lord"... like....what?!? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Smooth Rendition of this!!

I've just come to know that Shaun is gone. But he will be with us forever thanks to the great music that he gifted us. Rest in peace Shaun, thanks for all the great music and for giving us a little part of your soul. Please, wherever you are now, inspire other talented young musicians.

Man the bass solo was unbeatable. What a masterpiece!

Rest easy champ. You shared your gift with the world. That will never be forgotten

Rest in Peace Legend... Thankyou for Colourized my Life with Your Music.. It Means so Much for me..

I felt instant connection to this song after listening it 2 years ago for the first time. I'm deeply saddened by the news. Absolutely amazing musician...

The interplay between the percussionist and set is a thing of beauty.

It is sad to see so many people who inspire the world pass away so early. Thank you for your wonderful music Shaun, RIP.

Today 04,05,2024 ...The song played in my head this morning, had to come back here. It brings a different feeling ❤❤❤

Man. Such a talent and blessing to us gone too soon. Absolutely love his playing. R.I.P.

RIP Martin. I studied this for days, you’re a big inspiration to me till today. Thank you for everything you created. ❤🕊️

Music will never be the same ever again. The world lost a real legend. My heart is aching for a mentor and a teacher that I never even met. Lord, keep his soul safe in your arms.

This song is like a hug and kiss from a loved one

Forever will you and your music be missed. Thank you. RIP man.

I discovered him through his reaction to Cory Henry in Lingus

At first hearing I was convinced I’d heard this before. Simultaneously, I knew I hadn’t. This is one of those eternal pieces that’s in us all. Only, Mr. Martin had to recover it for us. He’s the best. This is so right.

RIP legend😢😢

Shaun, bless you brother! The world just got a bit darker. Thank you for your amazing contribution to the modern jazz era, you have kept this music alive. You have inspired so many of us and your legacy will continue forever. Rest high up there...

This is my first track hearing Shaun's solo stuff. Totally not what I was expecting based on his work with Snarky!

This is probably one of the very first encounters that I got attached to listening to Shaun Martin's music and more importantly the genres he used throughout his career which made me more interested to explore. Rest in Peace Shaun, we will never forget you and your music and what you've contributed as a musician.

Just here to pay my respects to this legend may your soul rest in peace 🕊️

Learned this song by playing this video over and over. Rest in peace to an absolute legend ❤

I'm so glad these people are on the planet. Why doesn't this have 5 million views. Pisses me off.

What he left behind will forever remain with us. Thanks for being an awesome musician, and amazing soul. May your voyage be restful, Rest in peace Shaun Martin

So harsh to know he’s gone. This is a masterpiece that I’ll never ever forget😢

Shaun you may be present with us, but what have left behind will outlive us all. Thank you for sharing your heart and gifts with the world

More music like this could definetly change the world!

Discovered him a few months ago. Was really into his music and wanted to see him live in Europe first chance I would get... Very moved he passed away

Rest In Heaven Shaun!

An Amazing Gifted Talented Soul! Prayers for the Family with heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathy 🙏🏽🌹

Once you listen to this.. you just can’t stop thinking about the awesome melody and sound.

RIP Shaun. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with all of us,

R.I.P. He was a legend

RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it. His legacy will be felt for generations.

Rest In Peace Shaun Martin from 🇯🇵🙏🙏　 We miss you

I remember learning this. Being a huge fan or Russ and the Yellowjackets i fell in love with this piece.. What a great musician.. So unbelievably sad 😞 💔

This man's playing is genius. Never get tired of seeing him perform.

"I want to live such a life that when death comes, people won't mourn because I died. They'll celebrate because I lived." Your impact won't be lost on me Shaun. Much love always.

I've listened to this song so many god damned times and I still love it. You can feel the passion that went into it.

This beautiful piece was always my favorite, rest in peace, your music will never be forgotten.

Rest well brother 😢🎉

Great underrated artist and man. RIP. I discover Shaun through Gospel and Jazz.

There's a lot of Pat Metheny Group's older days in this tune. That's why I freaking love it. Excellent job 👍

You will be missed Shaun💔 you taught us so many songs 🙏🏿🙏🏿💔

This song is appropriately named. It’s such a tribute to Russell Farente & the Yellowjackets! ♥️

Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Shaun. You'll be remembered and we'll miss you

One of the best pieces of music I have ever heard

Gone but never forgotten. I hope he knew how many lives he impacted through his music.

Who else had this on loop for 30 mins 😅... Come I can't be the only one

RIP legend, your music will always be remembered

RIP TO THE LEGEND

This also inspired me to play. In this invitation I already made some music myself. Rest in peace brother, while your songs echoes in some of our hearts it keeps playing. You returned home 🙏🏻🥹

no way you gone !!! smh , one of my favs pianist !

RIP Shaun. Thanks for all the beautiful music you left us

I'm glad you got your buddy Sput to play the drums for this one, he was made for this stuff. He flows so well with the music while providing unique textures, all while making my head bop throughout. Love that dude!

You will be missed Shaun. Your passion and joy in music will always inspire us..

Shaun Martin, please never stop making music! this is absolutely beautiful!

Opened instagram for the first time in days to find this news waiting for me... absolutely gutted. Thanks for blessing the world with your music. RIP 🕊🕊

I can't believe I thought I came up with the melody and chords they play here at the start. I listened to it maybe a year ago and forgot about it, and I had this melody and chords randomly come up in my mind during an online class and immediately jumped to the piano to figure out what I just heard, thinking it's my creation. The mind is so weird. I actually remembered the chord progression and melody a year later. Unbelievable. A month later I open this video and my high hopes of having composed something cool immediately shatter lmao

RIP LEGEND you'll be greatly missed❤❤❤

RIP to an absolute titan. Gutted.

i never forget you my best keyborn you are my inspiration in piano, i will make you proud. thanks for all GOAT

For a second I thought: "What the hell is Cory Henry doing on percussion?". Turns out to be mr. Moka!

Rest In Peace Shaun, thank you for the groove and the joyful vibe you bring.

Get well soon Shaun. 😢

On to a better place! We were so lucky to have you.

Robert Glasper for spiritually attuning yourself to the world followed by Shaun Martin for spiritual strength to find ways of making the world get along.

9 years later and this still is one of my all time favourites. God! I love this so much.

That bass solo made my day. I have been back here more than I can remember.

We lost a music genius… RIP Shaun!
