Whenever i go into the comment section of these most underrated yet most masterpiece-ful albums all i see is ppl agreeing, wishing each other good day, and love! this is truly what real music sounds like and does to humans. Have a wonderful day everybody.
Papa Shimada I read the comments but I never put that together like you said but you’re right. Well they say MUSIC brings people together. Thanks for the observation!!!!
Hello Jonny - didn't expect to see anyway I know here? It's Joe Purnell by the way - you probably don't recognise my work account. Yes just seen the Ford Focus - took me a while. Will be seeing these at Dimensions festival this year.
Yo Joe, How tricks buddy? I just looked at the line-up for Dimensions!!!! WOW! You must go see my mate Radioactive man play Live. Pure ELECTRO at its best. I went to Croatia last year for Suncebeat festival. Was amazing fun. Would love to go back.
Kml Dr. Dunno man I think they're about the same. What I usually do is sift through my spotify discovery playlist and then go to youtube with the ones I liked, then also search youtube's suggestions on the side. Pretty good way to find new stuff to listen to (I basically never run out of good new music).
Masterpiece!!! I'm Brazilian and your music sounds like Brazilian music and that's not to mention the incidences of the Afro-Brazilian religious that you use in this album ... Brazil stands to applaud your album ... Congratulations!! Obrigado, Yussef !!
Does anyone else hears Yussef on song Remembrance at 18:52 - 18:53 making little stop (dunno, maybe mistake) and saying Aaaaaa? Such awesome moment, at one second you think he is out, but a sec later he gets back in groove, powerful
Man, this is not OK. (Yeah yeah don't feed the troll, whatever.) It's not OK to shit on people for liking things. It doesn't matter if _you_ think it's a good album or not, dude's allowed to like it. Anyway, since you have such a great taste in not bland music, what's something you'd recommend? I won't open links but I will look them up on this site.
The drummer is a serene god. Such a majestic playing with no any overforcage or overstrain for effect, the things i hate most of so called "great" rock drummers. The whole album is a kind of new face of modern jazz. Impressed.
Was fortunate to ride with an uber driver that had Yussef playing. This music right here! Is what I'm talking about! Please continue to make more my brother. Simply awesome.
@@Koraxus that mean listen to the same kind of stuff all the time so the machines will only recommend the same crap over and over. i didn't end up here by only clicking stuff I'd heard before. The algorithm led them here because it was new. It led us here cos we were on the path
That opening was simply exquisite !!👌 😍 👏. The incantations fused with all the different sounds transported me to my motherland Zambia 🇿🇲!!! Beautiful 😍 stuff!
It's past 3am and I was suffering through a anxiety attack as I was trying to study my Indonesian course on Duolingo. My attack lurched my progress and stole my focus away from me, I tried every kind of music I had in arsenal; from dark ambience to 90s hip hop beats alongside some breathing techinques I searched up but that combination turned out to be futile on my part. It wasn't until I remembered I that I saved this video, so I clicked back and relaxed. I'm feeling great right now! I've always loved Jazz but I haven't utilized it's use in a decompressing setting in a long time. I'm feeling like my self again, all much thanks to Yussef Kamaal's unique demonstration of beautiful Jazz music! Cheers y'all!
This album showed up right on time. I'm blowed and just erased a ton of shit. The perfect vibe for positive motivation. Perfect mix of masculine & feminine. This is definitely being added to rotation. Thank you.
So good, love the echoes of classic Motor City techno and house in the string work too. Or even 'Deep Burnt' by Pépé Bradock, but that sampled Freddie Hubbard Little Sunflower, so what goes around comes around. The bass tone is soo satisfying. And drumming is sublimely delicate and funky.
Hell.. I'm an avid jazz rock collector, and this is the first time ever, I thinks.. that I was in doubt abt the year of this VERY fine music.. It sounded, (apart from some "modern" drum roll's", as we were right back in the 70'ies.. THNX for enlightening me !
This album is a masterpiece! It connects jazz, fusion, electronics in elegant manner, giving a sound that fits equally well with my living room and with a club with live music. The track "Yo chavez" is my favorite.
I rarely comment on TH-cam, but I have to. To me this is mature, classy, and intriguing. Also fun. Sparks alot of feelings/moods when I hear it, actually. Skills upon skills here. Tasteful and a bit on the experimental side. The bass work is awesome so are the drums. Jazz, HipHop, Jungle-ish. One could "chill" to it, but when I hear it I am too busy listening. I have heard several albums that dance around this idea, but none compare imho. Great Stuff!
Was meaning to listen to Yussef Lateef and clicked on this by mistake. What a find, one of the best jazz albums I've heard that was released in recent years for sure.
Oh yes. Some of the best new jazz I've heard in a few years. Magical drums and bass, fine fine keyboards. I love the improvisational feel, with all the perfection of fine musicianship. I can listen to this album all day.
Hey listeners.Try 'Sly' off Herbie Hancock's 1973 LP Headhunters for an historical reference point.I've purchased this Yussef Kamaal CD and I really dig it, but don't forget to familiarize yourselves with the pioneers of jazz/fusion so you can hear the influences on these young guys.
I just found by chance during a search ...... I took a slap ..... Good night owl sound as I like, I immediately imagine myself driving at night in the streets of my capital (Paris).
I was just listening to this and thought that I would have to pop up a comment saying " Awesome " and what do you know but the post at the top of the comments list was one that said " Awesome " !! How much more proof do people need :-)
This will forever be a masterpiece, 2 years on and sounds better with every listen which considering my reaction on first listen, the bar was already high. Never thought there would be a BF2 but they are getting the band back together.
Splendid. Never heard of this. Clicked expecting late 60s/early 70s. Wholly cheering to discover it was produced in C21st London. Will now purchase. More please!
How am I just discovering this album in 2023? Damn. This is phenomenal.
no u
no matter when.. whats important is that you did!!!!
Have you discovered Megashira (2001) yet?
Same!
Same here! Better late than never, right? :D Greetings from LatAm!

Very true.
Thank you brother!
I agree with you. Have a wonderful day

Yeah, buddy!
Food for the soul.
For anyone wondering, the Arabic says "Yusuf Kamal"

Bless the all-knowing youtube algorithm, not for necessarily knowing my taste, but expanding it instead, what a streak!!!!
Personnel

Yussef Dayes: drums, percussion, producer, composer
Mansur Brown: electric guitar

that's what you call a supergroup nowadays! Amazing musicians...
Are Yussef and Kareem brothers or something?
@@Rock100208074 doy
Thankyou for revealing the other musicians on this wonderful album!
Love the "Black Ford Focus" hidden behind the Arabic writing.

Jonny B' well spotted! Good eye for detail or mad passion for cars or both lol?
Wow, that's cool! Good eye!
For real, these TH-cam suggestions and the updated algorithm they are operating with are a blessing.
praise the lord
Spotify recommendations are shit compared to these.
Korneel Vandaele ik vertel net vandaag dat spotify juist enorm werkt voor mij 😄. vandaar dat ik deze plaat heb besteld 🎶
Yes, tried other 'music' services - TH-cam is a god send when sourcing new music. It is yet to let me down!

Yussef Dayes is a king on drums!!
Trust!
seriously badass!
Billy Cobham and Idris Muhammad would be proud
Hi huys, listen to my Band. Its called Los Vidriosos and we are From Medellin, Colombia. Hope you like it.
soundcloud.com/mrvidrio/sets/losvidriosos
like a young omar ali ! very smouth and a lot of pleasure ....
I fucked around and listened to this whole album straight through. This is a timeless gem.
42:15 "But, check it out. You create your own reference point and that has always been what jazz is about."
Masterpiece!!! I'm Brazilian and your music sounds like Brazilian music and that's not to mention the incidences of the Afro-Brazilian religious that you use in this album ... Brazil stands to applaud your album ... Congratulations!! Obrigado, Yussef !!
Do you have any recommendation for similar Brazilian music?
With or without vocals, I love how Brazilian Portuguese sounds in music.
@@nazzzz89 Sim, Amaro Freitas, the new revelation of Brazil. He does jazz with references to music from northeastern Brazil. Obrigado!
Nossa, sim! Amaro Freitas é um milagre.
I've looked up Amaro Freitas, unbelievable musician. He deserves way more recognition, thank you!
@@nazzzz89 Search For Azymuth
Currently freaking out over how good this is.
The drumming here is absolutely majestic. Whole album has that magical chillout vibe. Great stuff.
i know i want more! too bad they broke up

@@dontpanic15 Yussef Dayes has a couple of awesome tracks, check out "Love is the Message" for example
This is 1000% hip. All of these dudes have ferocious chops.
Also DnB, fo' sure :)
Yussef Dayes has the chops, Kamaal Williams has the creativity
@@hakeemahmadjamal7403 Checkout JD Beck and Domi, unbelievable talent.
Don't know how I got here , but i'm not leaving anytime soon!
Amen
Can't stop hearing this album, is amazing, this is new age, old age, old school, new school. Can't stop the transformation of the time we live in..!
Quarantine season with an album I almost forgot about.. this is the cure right now!
I think Yussef Dayes may be one of the best drummers alive at the moment...
Does anyone else hears Yussef on song Remembrance at 18:52 - 18:53 making little stop (dunno, maybe mistake) and saying Aaaaaa? Such awesome moment, at one second you think he is out, but a sec later he gets back in groove, powerful
Sounds intentional for me :)
awesome moment!
This is probably the best album I've heard come out in the past few years. Simply flawless
oh dear
oh dear
Oh daer
Tom Souden I see you like your music bland

Trop fort !30 ans que j attendais CE SOUFFLE NOUVEAU MUSICAL. Very good.

If you are listening to this I recommend listeing to his newer album. Black Classical Music. Absolutely phenomenan
For the first time these algorithms on youtube are suprisingly spot on with introducing me to some new dope stuff I've never heard before
the more responsible and disciplined you are with the content you consume, the better algorithms get.
@@Koraxus that mean listen to the same kind of stuff all the time so the machines will only recommend the same crap over and over. i didn't end up here by only clicking stuff I'd heard before. The algorithm led them here because it was new. It led us here cos we were on the path
5 years, still my fav Jazz Album 🙏
This album will, I predict, become a classic as did Bitches Brew. A whole world, somewhere between London and Africa, has been created here.
I'm thinking the same thing, listening for the 1nn-th time, this is very sophisticated, beyond its time.
The kids brought up on that jazzy shit through the 90's finally grown...this sounds complete!
*jungle
word
@@richjones7313 Of course it's jazz, but there is a jungle/dnb style beat to much of the drumming.
@@zachjohnson637 and hip hop!

Vinyl ordered! Sitting by the door, waiting.............A must have!
hope you have it by now ! haha

I love how the album gets funkier and funkier the more you listen to it.
the drumming feels so effortlessly smooth, sounds awesome
That bass & drum pocket so nasty and cozy at the same time. I'm full comfy, I'll stay right here. :3
Just discovered this. Shockingly good. Such a fresh sound, with a lurking familiarity. Sweet!
The continuation to Incognito from the 90ies... damn good

Wtf is this absolute masterpiece???!!! I'm ashamed that I missed this before... But my ascension is now assured. What a beauty x
this is wonderful, i cant believe that something like this exists..
Track 7 - Lowrider is the funkiest tune I've heard in a long time - what an absolute pleasure to listen to.
Oh yes. Some of the best new jazz I've heard in a few years. Magical drums and bass, fine fine keyboards. I love the improvisational feel, with all the perfection of fine musicianship. I can listen to this album all day.

this is like a hot spring bubbling up from the ground....... happening all by itself, naturally. And you can't escape its warm wonder
well said :)
This is by far the greatest thing I've ever heard
Found this my second year of college when it came out. It is a timeless album. To this day it just... its great. truly.
With love from Russia, this is great.!
This is so good I could listen to Yussef play drums all day long. Easily my favorite drummer on the planet
It gets better with every listen
I'm surprised these guys haven't been on NPR tiny desk concerts yet.
10/10 = a modern masterpiece
That yell at 18:52 is the best description of what it's like to listen to this album
I was listening to the Bill Burr podcast and he went on about this group. Great recommendation, great album!
A serendipitous moment when I clicked on this album. So happy to add this to my jazz collection. Wishing you all a wonderful life.
Just discovered this masterpiece July 1 2023
Gifts of music unlimited. Soul to Soul from these musicians. From one jazz head to another .onelove
Yussef has always been energetic and deeply focused.
Woke up with this masterpiece playing random on yt. Algorithm being great again
I dare to say this album is one of the best of its kind.
This album is gold! Knew about it for a few years and sharing with a friend.
I’m full of emotions when it comes to this album, mostly sad because it took me till 2021 to hear about this collective group of musical all-stars.
Those basslines are nasty and they stand out even on phone speakers so props to the engineer
This album is amazing...solid and retro, real musician's. Revived my faith in music!!!
The soundscapes are brilliant, this music is timeless!
I can't stop smiling ☺ I've been searching for something like this . Unbelievable everyone 👌
My vinyl just arrived… god bless the universe
Haha
TV is turned off, radio has been smashed and since I am in Cali'... lighting one up and chilling the F out! Thank you Yussef!
It's thank you Yussef & Kamaal. It's two guys and some friends
Yo Chavez has one of the slickest bass lines ever!
Bought this CD a couple of months ago, not knowing what it would be, I'm still in love with it.
Mister Man CDs mess up get in on Google play...it's the digital age
But I like CDs :(

Music lives here. Big up to Brownswood for making this available. Support the artist if you can!
Always a beautiful return with this album
The drums in track 2. I'm blown away.
Yes sir!
This album is 🔥 in its entirety. I love it. I will definitely be purchasing this and adding it to the collection.
God this album is so good. Getting so much work done to it.
I’m three songs in, and my skull is blown open!! Incredibly amazing album!
This album simply connects synapses in my brain that even hanka robotics wouldn't manage to do. Love it.

Best album in the world 🙋🏻♂️
One of my favorite albums! 😁🤟🤟 Kamaal Williams-keys, Yussef Dayes-drums, Mansur Brown-guitar..such good vibes.
still thankful that I got to see yussef kamaal live before they broke up
THEY BROKE UP!!!
I saw them too in France. But it was not yussef daves on drums. It was awesome howether
something about the pace of this music just puts me straight into a state of creative flow and the words just flow from my pen
Some of it just feels exceptionally liminal. Like the whole album feels like a cutscene/dreamscape
This is such supreme music, so indebted to you guys, thank you.
Okay well good morning, wonderful way to start a Sunday. It's 2024 and I'm discovering it but it sounds great to me
The way the 2nd song starts with epic drumming and thick AF bassline, I was like "Dayum bro!"
Where are these two we need more music
Contemporary masterpiece!!! Thanks God for a bit of fresh air in this current sea of music mud!!!!
Changó is the god of the rythym for the yorubas, the albums opens up with that, man i love this LP
Masterpiece. Full-stop. Proudly owning vinyl copy.
Congratulations on the work, a very good direction in cultural music and sociable performance in recording!
This will forever be a masterpiece, 2 years on and sounds better with every listen which considering my reaction on first listen, the bar was already high. Never thought there would be a BF2 but they are getting the band back together.
Splendid. Never heard of this. Clicked expecting late 60s/early 70s. Wholly cheering to discover it was produced in C21st London. Will now purchase. More please!
How did they get it so right....unreal love it , thanks for restoring my faith in real music!!!
