I come back to this year on year, and the quality of playing gives it so much substance that I'm starting to think my rainy Northern English town is a NY Broadway; neon reflecting in the shiny wet pavement, yellow taxi's honking horns...steam coming up from the vents...
Possibly the best I’ve seen, no platitudes, insta-subscription. My father, born in 1915, adored band jazz.. It was the first music I heard in 1955. It’s a language, given by non terrestrials. Notice that black men across the planet , know this mental medium. South Africa, possible the most advanced musicians, anywhere.🇲🇱
The percussion on this track is freaking otherworldly! The Congo the cow bell the cymbol work the snare drums and that driving kick drum that just fill this song with energy.
All these artists are amazing...worthy of thanks and admiration to their gift. No song lives if the drummer kills it dead not connecting. The good bass is his best friend. The pianist is his brother...as are horns. Its family in sound and spirit when it goes well. Yes the bass was equally great as any. Nobody here shoulda been slighted. Percussion is spices for your sonic food. God gave them talent. They gave it back by perfecting it. Me a drummer/singer...I know God loves polished lively music
Great Stuff for real! Sax player is out of this world. Heck, anyone that shows up to a session with a pick in their hair has got to be a force to reckon with lol.
You made me like the saxophone and thats saying something. THANK YOU love from Switzerland (the pick in your hair is so FIERCE just like your playing 😍😍😍)
If I were going to make a guess from listening to this, I'd say that he isn't exactly a church musician - he's better described as a jazz musician who took a job in the Black Church to get a regular paycheck, and regular gigs playing for a place full of people.
I have a few questions regarding Jason Davis. How's he this good? How's he that groovy? How does he swing that hard? If he's so great as shown in this video why the heck haven't I heard from him before this album? And finally what are some of his earlier works?/where has he been all this time? (BTW if someone would actually answer the last two questions that'll be great thanks)

Great vibe!! This seems to be a tribute to the great Madiba of South Africa, but at the same time it sounds very Cameroonian. It feels like home in this album!
For real ! I'm cameroonian as well and while listening to that masterpiece of afrojazz I was just feeling like if Richard bona and Manu Dibango made this!!! Those guys must have some cameroonian blood in their veins !
It may be possible to have hope without art - its impossible to have art, music here, without hope! Music as art, is the ultimate 'because!' - why live? why love? why hope? why believe? why trust? Because this!
Love the sound and playing from the bassist on these Martin-sessions. Believe his name is Keith Taylor, but I can't find much information on him. What a player!
At 5:12, after getting absolutely destroyed by the sax and piano solo, the bassists brings a solid foundation back to ground the song. Man is a machine that has heart. I love this part.
Man...I shouldn't have listened to this before going to bed. It's gonna take all of my wife's essential oils to conk me out now. Such a heavy groove. Killin!
We are not talking about music...it´s share a tasty experience (made with musical skills + a strong background + a real and honest feeling) We just need taste it and enjoy it. Thanks Shaun
LordT!!!! I'm trying to work & listen but I have to KEEP stopping and rewinding. OMG, saying that you guys are awesome is a true understatement. I heard of you for the first time last night (4/23/18) & I am hooked! Geez!!!!! And to think that this video was published on my birthday.....late happy birthday to me! LOL I will order your CD and hopefully would love to meet & hear you guys live.........
rest in peace brother shaun, we gives thanks for your beautiful art

RIP to a beautiful legend. We will never forget your legacy Mr. Martin
Shaun Martin will live on in so many ways. We hold him in all of our hearts
RIP Shaun, thanls for sharing your soul, and Jam in heaven brother, there, with Madiba!😢
Shaun was one of the greats. We miss him dearly and thank him every day for his contributions both as a person and a musician
There's something about Martin's harmonies which are just inherently so emotionally charged.
I come back to this year on year, and the quality of playing gives it so much substance that I'm starting to think my rainy Northern English town is a NY Broadway; neon reflecting in the shiny wet pavement, yellow taxi's honking horns...steam coming up from the vents...
I feel ya
Just found out about Shaun. Gosh, I am speechless. You and your talent will be missed.
Such a wonderful person gone too soon. Rest in peace

Awesome to hear that! Thanks for the support
Still in disbelief. You were an amazing musician and I am privileged to have witnessed your Greatness. Condolences to your family.
It is such an honor to have known him and been able to call him a friend. Rest in power Shaun
Still a masterpiece after all these years!
This is my NEW Favorite Jazz Band. I hope they are smart enough to not change personnel. The Horn Players are Super!!!

Explosive!!! One of the greatest compositions and performances, production executed beyond perfection.
how can one execute 'beyond' perfection?
Wat the hell.... none of U mentioned the bass player he got us moving on our feets
That harmonics phrase in his solo... Dude got bass coming out if every bit of dna.
That Sax Solo was everything... 🔥

Much respect to the great Madiba. Also was fun playing music with my homeboys here in Dallas.

In our hearts forver
This like the best song I’ve ever heard in jazz this should’ve got a million views 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
My cousin is doing it big! Those magical fingers...7 summers sounds soo good!from the intro to ms. Carolyn reqiem.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Keep giving church musicians a higher standard to live up to Shaun. Love it dude!!!

Bet he started in church
Madiba is waiting for you in the musicians paradise. Thanks Shaun and rest in peace ❤❤😢😢
Thank you for your kind words, we miss you Shaun
Rest easy brother. Devastated you are gone. Thinking of your loved ones.
Rest in Peace, King. This is such a great loss to humanity. Your talent will be missed, my brother.
Shaun was one of the greatest people to have lived, we miss him with all our hearts
This is the kinda thing I hate not having known, but love having found. My god, this is a ludicrously tightly packed pocket. Filthily clean 😲
RIP Sean. Thank you for your music.
Thank you for everything Shaun, rest in peace
Jason Davis is the truth. Everyone is killin. Shaun Martin put together all stars and it shows. Congrats on a great project.
Man!!!! I have to say: for me this song is simply mind blowing!!!!! The bass of piano, the sax phrases. ...ALL in this vídeo is incredible.!!! 🤯🤩👏👏👏🔥
man is it nice to know that good music is still around.....
Still one of the strongest entrances I've ever heard in a solo 2:35
Thank You

This Bass Player Kept My Heart ❤️ So Much In Exuberance 😊❤️🔥🎶
Love the sound! 7 Summers should be in every serious music fan's collection!
Agreed
Dang Shaun...I'm loving these tracks!
the production on this track is just like one big hug
Man, this track is amazing
Kind words keep the music flowing.
Shaun Martin is a visonary.
This might be my fav. Shaun, you guys are killin' it!!!! Much respect to President Mandela!!!!
5:40 I couldn't deal with that. Shawwwnnnn man
One of my favourite tracks ever. Reminds me of Cowboy Bebop with the progressions during the sax solo x_X Craaazy
Great tune Shaun Martin! Damn this tune really grooves.
Sounds killer!! Love the afrobeat vibe
Latin vibes!!!! Not real afro beat (afro latinos) listen
TONY ALEN beat and

Bass and drums

Never heard anything more groovy! Man!!!

@@romeodantse5129 for Real!!
Definitely has some soul makossa grooves to it.
Absolutely correct,very West African sound,not so much south of the equator
It may be possible to have hope without art - its impossible to have art, music here, without hope!
Music as art, is the ultimate 'because!' - why live? why love? why hope? why believe? why trust? Because this!
Love the sound and playing from the bassist on these Martin-sessions. Believe his name is Keith Taylor, but I can't find much information on him. What a player!
I love players who aren't famous!! I feel like solitude is key to being such a musician! Because your work speaks for itself i mean isnt that class!
