what tha heck, i love when an incredible tune shows up, it blows your mind and then end and you hear the clapping hands and go like..... BRO, THAT WAS LIVE?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?
Time signature changing on the fly, and going from odd to even to odd- MAN! But it's all planned out, and, all though you don't always hear it, there's a steady 1,2,1,2...click, click, click, click.... count going on the whole time so everyone is in synch, despite having the down beat on the up beat, then back on the down beat... this can only work with a dead-steady drummer, i.e., Jojo, who's like a machine. This is fascinating, and so inventive! I've only listened to it once, so now I'll have to listen to it a few times, because it's fascinating/strange- I LOVE it! This is MUSIC creation - you have to always look for a new and unique thing that nevertheless somehow makes sense. This one is like walking up a flight of stairs that have short rises, then a group of taller rises, then even taller rises, then back to short rises, then maybe really tall rises, next... - etc. SO cool!
What a fantastic piece! It sounds wildly difficult on multiple levels. The combination of recorded voice discussing getting into a groove with the drummer and string quartet moving through different beat patterns and/or tempi (I couldn’t tell if it was metric modulation or actual changes in tempo) is really provocative and fun. The drummer is the embodiment of physical ease and cool. Very impressive! I loved the staging with the circular light configuration. It’s so smart of the person who filmed the performance to shoot from above as well as from the audience’s perspective!
What a presentation?!!! This piece rules!! A nod to Steve Reich's Different Trains?! I'd say so. This is easily my favorite thing on TH-cam. Almost none of my friends seem to like it which I always take as an sound endorsement for the real shit. I've been watching this repeatedly since it was first released. I would have loved to have been in attendance for this epic. Jojo Mayer is always so masterful and that Jack Quartet, totally crush it. Bravo!!!
@@krioni86sa let us not compare let us enjoy the creativity and yes it goes traces back to Tony But Vinnie , Virgil and Mark would probably tell you that Jojo is in his own Class and is unique
This rules. I used to play to Don Li on drums to clear my head. You have to lock in to the oddness of his arrangments and when you do it makes you feel wonderful.
So, the musicians on classical string instruments are all reading off iPads, and the reverse-engineering electronical music mastermind reads off paper. Nice plot twist :-D
yea, really conceptual aha, and i think it's also very practical since the string quartet musicians probably have more music written in the pages than he does
Someone mentioned King Crimson... in fact Jojo Mayer reminds me a lot of Bill Bruford. They have the same way of conceptualizing drums at a level of sophistication that is apart from the technique itself. Impressive! This stuff should be released in stereo at high resolution and without compressing the dynamic range.
This is such a cool concept video. Just seeing this for the first time now. Love this video, its looks like you borrowed the overhead rotating camera from Sabians endorsement for OMNI cymbals with Mark Guilian :)
Repetition is very important. Well that explains why I keep coming back to this video.

In the good old days, we called that a recording session.
Exactly my thought!! Fkn amazing...
@@obijuan8466 Ok boomer, there's still incredibly talented musicians nowadays. In fact there is way more
I love Jojo, because he is not only virtuoso. he is also an artist. And that video if the proof.

Absolutely. This song is a masterpiece of time signature
@@displaychicken Exactly.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever watched in my life
This is the most beautiful thing I found in the internet.
King Crimson esque. This is beautiful. The vocal placement is WOW. Finally some music moving forward again. Keep on
Genius. This made me cry.
Theres a video that has the same effect on myself. Check it out? Carolina crowns hornline "drops the hammer video"
@@OBEYxINSANITY HAHA, DCI has entered the chat.
@RichardChildsPhotog Then maybe you should check out Don Li's (with Jojo Mayer) latest work? Cosmotonics7x7!
Music from future!! Jojo is live legend
Yo this is striking on some next
level type shit.
Thanks for letting us be a part of it.
Fantastic !
Reminds me of Meshuggah

That was like if a Gaspar Noe film was an 8 minute composition. My days
Totally agree, Maestro.
The perfect comment.....bravo on your wording friend....
Everything about this performance video is unbelievably sick!

Always impressed by Jojo musicality, he is the best
More musical than Vinnie Colaiuta or Virgil Donati? Better than Mark Guilliana or Tony Williams?
@@krioni86sa Not saying that, his technique is limitless, and he keeps straight to the point and highly musical.

Fantastic performance.... One of the grooviest things I've ever heard. Astounding drumming!

A few centuries ago u would be 🔥 alive for such a beautiful peace of art.
Well, I wasn't expecting that. Genius in all aspects. The overhead camera view is great for seeing how it's being played all at once, love it. 8~)
Bravo-Bravísimo-Bravisísimo!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Jojo for all your magic!!!! ✨🙏🏼✨
I didn’t even watch it yet but I already know I will like it.
I'd say this was 'simply amazing!' but there was nothing simple about it. Definitely amazing!

@@dsvet We are definitely unworthy. Hail to these 2 gods
Damn. J. Mayer & Jack Quartet what a perfect duo. 🤘
Absolutely magnificent
So, the musicians on classical string instruments are all reading off iPads, and the reverse-engineering electronical music mastermind reads off paper. Nice plot twist :-D
Damn, didn't even think about it like that.
Obviously, he put the iPad on a Xerox to get the copy ;-)
@@starbeardiesyoung Easier to add notes and corrections/modifications on paper :P
They’re likely using iPads to avoid page turns too. 👍🏼

WOW! WOW! WOW! Beautiful!!!
Speechless at how awesome that was, my brain was on fire
This is in every way, perfect.
never seen anything like this before. spectacular!!!!!
Wow😮this by far is next level geniusnessniss lol love jojo Meyer smh dope!!!!!
Vraiment très bon j'adore ces changements de rythme et de toute façon j'adore Jojo
Man, from the vocal intro to the instrumentals. Chills! ❤️

Sooooo good. Jojo has a way with groovy beats, that's for sure. And the syncopation of/with the strings... Superb.

Génialissime ! 👍🎶🥁🙂
Wow this is so different and interesting. Really dig this, Bravo on JOJO! pushing the limits new territory.

I respect him.
한없이 작은 세계로 여행을 떠나는 아름다운 꿈을 꾼 것 같았습니다.
It was like dream, such a beautiful journey to endless tiny world.
Beaut. Great to see some new jo jo
Mind Blown.
Interesting! JACK quartet are a fantastic ensemble . The combination of drums with string quartet is amazing!
Love the overhead shot of the spinning stage
Mi papi, no me canso de ver el video, "Repetition is very important, groove and repetition they´re related"
geez...that ending melody would make a fantastic song in and of itself.
Definetly my cup of tea!
Wow. That was mind blowing.
This is very creative. Unique and cool
This is BEAUTIFUL !!!!
This is Insane!🤯
I love this AND it makes my skin crawl...
This is frikkin brilliant!
This was truly life changing
New level reached!
I know everyone loves Jojo, but let’s hear it for that amazing bass. The middle section is mind blowing.
Phenomenal!
Yes. So cool!!!!!!!
That is amazing! Congratulations 🔥
Brilliant.Most ‘classically trained percussion is not as funkified as this, excellent .
That seriously fried this noodle. Beautiful. Thank you.
This must have been a fun gig for the string players 🎻 😎
I believe the piece in its entirety is much longer. Will there ever be a recording released of this in its entirety?
the more I listen to this the better it gets.
Unnerving. The syncopation makes me uneasy. Amazing performance.
Amazing!!!
Dios mío demasiado conocimiento en un solo vídeo
This is the music we do really need on this 2021.
Reminds me of Meshuggah
Hypnotizing
Jojo forever!!!!!!
Beautifully Inspiring!!! WOW!!!
Magnífico
Wow!!
Wooooooow this is amazing!!!!
Brilliant!
This is awesome. That's Jojo Mayer alright. My first reaction was what in the F--- is this! Haha. Good stuff.
I had to watched it twice !!! So enjoyable !!! The secret of making music is simple: repetition. Lol !!!
So cool!!!
Holy shit that blew my mind. Was not expecting that gong either!!!,
wonderful!!
Jojo is like the genius scientist physicist mathematician of drumming! He's out of this solar system
Super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn! This is too good
