Thankyou ❤ love your music

i was lucky to see Melvin GIBBS with Dave DOUGLAS ensemble in Hamilton at Something ELSE festival....a fantastic mixing of sounds and attitude , i am so keen to visit NYC and try to find a show with Harriet Tubman, so great a player and i am glad to hear this interview.

Seems a lot of commenters haven't understood that "Is It Jazz?" is just the generic name of the series, of which this is one episode. It literally tells you that if you read the intro blurb.

One of my favorite all time saxophonist.

"The way you make me feel" like you've never heard i before ;0)

Heck noone can even deFINE Jazz. It is only the egocentric elitists who THINK they can. Is it working in upper structures? Is it the heavy use of "color" notes? Is it improvisation? Is it swing? Is it the bebop scale? NONE of these is exclusive to the "genre." Nor is any COMBINATION of these things. "Jazz" is just as diluted as everything ELSE!

Melvin is one of the few masters of the bass wah pedal. It's so easy to sound like garbage using one of those.

...Nubya.....

Saw them live last summer, i was mesmerized...

That's not Cory saying he doesn't like to play it too much lol

6:50 there I have it; a free musical spirit. It's 2017. Now, 5 years later, everyone in this band went into their own thing. Yes, they will reunite. But by then, The Comet will have fallen. their last album, even very good, felt more like a montage to me than a real collaboration. I hope I'm wrong. The Ancestors, Kemet's and the Comet, for me. I hope not to loose another one ...

That is one heavy groove. I dig it!

Love what they're saying and I love that Congo Natty hoodie!

Is it jazz? Yes. But the more important questions are: - Is it good music? Yes. - Does it reach people? Yes.

Puissant. Lyric. Energetic. Dansant. 🙂🙏🌹

Yeah!

Yea, that's jazz. That is jazz, isn't it? I mean,.......uh, uh, uh,......

Awesome

Jesus people need to learn the history of Jazz before questioning if something is Jazz. Jazz has tons of Sub genres and I'm sorry but "Smoorh Jazz"is a Sub genre and doesn't speak for all Jazz. She definitely sounds like Bebop to me.

Dark, brooding, gelatinous

Hellafkyeah!

If anyone has to ask if it is jazz then they don't know music...it's blues, it's R&B, it's soul, it's jazz, it's rock & roll, it's music, it's beautiful,. Do overthink it!

You’re the Boom I love your music

Why is it that as a 65 year old from a non-urban environment and totally different musical background I feel such a strong musical kinship with what is coming out of this scene in London? Nubya, Shabaka, all the others, it's just great!

Geweldig! En wijs te gek de Max love it meer

If it isn't jazz (and I would argue strongly that it is) then it is jazz's profound loss. Mr. Henry is and has been phenomenal since early childhood.

Hey melvin !! ..👍👍👍...great work , man !

beeest

amaziiinnnnnnnn briliiant

Claramente sí, lo es !!!

Of course it is ! WTF 😂

@ 01:50, isn't this simply 'Red Eye' ?, (Sade's band...I don't know who actually composed it.)

Great performance, seen them live myself once, highly recommended :) Those people talking in the background get fucking annoying after a while though, jesus christ.

good memories here chillin with you all

Awesome indeed. THE LORD’S HAS GIFTED THIS YOUNG MAN IN THIS GENERATION AND BEYOND . MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU SIR. WE PRAY SOMEDAY SOON TO MEET YOU AND PLAY UNTILL OUR GOD SAYS ENOUGH . YOURS BECAUSE OF CALVARY , Dr. Apostle R.A./Prophetess Sarah Warren

Love the Congo Natty hoodie. It sure is not here by chance.

WHAT IT IS - IS OUT-FUK'N-STANDING

china poop

now, this is the alice keys that i always ask for!!

1:10 that's phaat with a PH

So,..you are the brainwashed product of your parents ... Read this, it will do you good : " The undiscovered self " by CG Jung.

what is the music being played at minute 5?

His ear is brilliant. Not just for the music and phrasing and runs but for the technical side of his instrument. Those keyboard rich warm sounds are so rich and textured. Edible sound

Obrigado I see Melvin Gibbs such Amazing inspiration. Thanks the channel for that .

THANKS!!

thank you so much

Stumbled upon this great unknown recording of known musicians :-))) Danced overlooking Maastricht (NL) from my home and keep on smiling

Cory is such a spiritual guy and he brings the Church and gospel feel to the audience. So powerful his message. He is the real dog's b0llcoks!

Is it improvised art, is it played live in time, anybody who doesn't know the answer to these questions has NO place in art. Improvised art played live in time... Yeah man.. It's real jazz.....

A King Korg stacked on top of a Korg Kronos. Reminds me of the solo where I discovered this genius.
