@CalebDiT Год назад

You're misunderstanding this kind of improv. Jazz improv generally includes many mistakes and impulsive transitions. Onlookers say, "Masterful!" but it's really not. Bernard's solo wasn't very musical and not even close to being called skillful.

@RonMikeGabe Год назад

The fact that there are 3 drummers on full kits and it sounds THIS tight is insane.

@ondolite3789 Год назад

Plus 3 percussionists!

@Diego.drummer Год назад

All the notes and beat are together. I can't hear any 'flam' on snares. Great musicians!! Larnel, Jamison and JT on drums.

@2earache Год назад

And the ‘purpose’ of 3 drummers is what? I’d damn well expect them to be ‘tight’ but aside from their solo performances thrown in, this is a simple exercise in ‘gilding the lily’ and superfluous to the needs of already great music from Snarky Puppy. A redundant sham!!

@ondolite3789 Год назад

@@2earache If you look for a 'purpose' in art then you will always be left pondering.

@2earache Год назад

@@ondolite3789……if ever there was an ambiguous response to the extreme, you’ve done an excellent job! You never simply expect everything to be ‘art enhanced’, cross your fingers and hope nobody will notice. Your contribution here is accepting what has been placed in front of you upon a plate, not questioning any aspect of it and then broadly celebrating everything you see as ‘art’, whatever the consequences!

@hanlyu5634 Год назад

This is a pure gift. Bernard giving way too less notes than what usual puppies give us but that results in so much groove, while 30 or so musicians grooving in unison, and three top notch drummers trading in solos to finish up. What a champ.

@NateGH36O Год назад

Great point. It's gonna take me a couple listens to really appreciate his solo but I do love how different it is

@ole_limberlegs Год назад

I think an album of chill songs would be something I would listen to. if it's anything like this that is.

@maziarnoei4191 Год назад

Yes, because the groove has nothing to do with his solo. Actually, his solo is very repetitive and basic.

@SuperHell99 Год назад

@@maziarnoei4191 just because it may not be a complex solo on a technical level, does not mean the solo is worse off. Not every solo has to be like the Lingus one to be great

@hanlyu5634 Год назад

@@maziarnoei4191 That's only one side of the coin. Bernard's solo leaves lots of pocket to the point it's hard to see what's foreground and background. But every once in a while he stabs with unusual timing and notes to claim he's at the foreground, but barely. I can't stop frowning my face every time he does that. It's such a fine balancing between who's grooving and who's soloing. Perhaps it's partly his personality, seeing him leaving the stage right away while everyone is applauding.

@saturnative Год назад

My only problem with Snarky puppy is that that all the musicians are "to perfect". There is no Jimi Hendrix element in it. Yea it's jazz but two drummers and no out of the box rythm section... Vain. Empty. Too perfect! I can listen to Snarky Puppy and admire the musicianship but their lacking the dept. Too good musicians to make the "grooove"! I admire the musicianship, the proficiency of the musicians, their skillz! But their music is "to perfect". If Snarky Puppers would like to get an extra notch, they'd have to hire Charles Berthoud to spice up their rythm section. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xSn_fUKpCHs.html Man I love Snarky Puppy but they sound so dull and boring... So overproduced and just lame. Too much overstudied musicians in a gang of boredom.
