I try to watch this every week at least once...just to reaffirm that families that play music together are awesome, music is the best therapy, and joy is only 17 minutes away.
THE ONLY thing better than one Laboriel is two. How cool is it to watch the Dad and the Son jam it out like this. I got hooked on Abe in 1977 with Lee Ritenour' band and then Friendship Group. Long live The Golden Bear.
Well! Damn! So totally relaxed and groovy! The way Jr and Sr play together is the rhythm section equivalent of sibling harmony! Totally fearless playing!
Dad still has a head full of hair and son is bald as an egg. Oh well...we have something in common. My dad has a head full of hair at 89 and I'm bald as a milk dud.
I remember when I saw Abe playing, when he was with Al Jarreau back in 1977. He was outstanding back then and watching him play on this video with his Son ..... all I can say is 💥
Holy shit, just the groove alone in this tune is amazing. Then on top of THAT you have all the individual talent of this group. These guys can take a beat and push it to about a 100 different directions. TALENT 100% UNLOCKED! I bow to you.
I have to say this is the first I've heard Abraham Laboriel Jr. play, and man the guy is a street fighter of a player he just punches hard his own way. What a refreshing drummer.
I like his playing style, not a whole lot of chops all over the place with no feelings. With some drummers, it's like, excuse me, where are you going with all those licks? How come I can't hear the rest of the other instruments? There was a time when drummers actually supported the music, but now, it's like they are the music, as an old school drummer since. 1963, even now at 71 I still play although things are a tad bit slower , nothing can beat some real good solid drumming.
Holy cow! What an astounding rhythm section! Unreal precision and clarity and complexity and... sheer groove. The Jazz Ministry has moved to the top of my play list. Call me flabbergasted to the max!!!!
Abe...your Dad was an amazing man and a badd bassist . I talked to him several times when he would come to Pittsburgh at the Pitt Jazz Seminar for his friend Dr. Davis. Thanks for posting
Met Sr in Ca few years back! Super down to earth kinda guy! He's One of the most widely used session Basses of our time! His resume speaks for it's self , Passed on those good genes onto Jr
I've got the same question. I love the hi-hats too. It's two sound edge bottom as it's waved both sides. I just cannot see whether they are 15' or 17' large. Amazing sound.
Incredible performance Drum Channel, Pops on Bass, and Greg on keys, an amazing player, plus Mike on guitar had me flashing back to the Raging Honkies, "Give Me the Night", and Boz Skaggs' '70's concerts with a little bit of a batucada thrown in at 9:00, showing a multitude of drum genres, Jr. is able to seamlessly integrate this number into each players' solos and of course as a group, he's the glue guy no doubt. Gotta check out "Another Night At The Baked Potato" this was so good!
Sadly, the snare sounds just as mismatched as the whole drumset. Although Laboriel plays fine, the whole drumset is way too boomy, dominant, makes it all sound heavy, sluggish, obese. No lightness, no air, no freshness to be felt. Instead of flying, chirping birds, I hear a big fat truck rolling down the hill. Other drum-sizes and different tuning and better mixing would have made it more of a joy to listen to it IMHO.
Well not all drummers have to play a fusion/gospel kit. This is the sound pallet he chose and he makes it sound kick ass. If it doesn’t fit your definition of what a “good” sounding drum set is, understandable but the level of musicianship if off the charts. If you guys are saying he is not a great player, then I feel sorry for you for not appreciating the drums or the whole band. They were locked in, hitting each accent with each other. Just amazing. If you didn’t like it, no problem move along and watch something else.
The shuffle itself shows how good he is. He is a phenomenally good drummer period! But yeah, little too laid back, sluggish?, to my taste. It`s nice when people find their own style and taste. Brilliant.
My biodad who I found just 10 years ago was a drummer, I'm a bass player, he passed away before we got a chance to play music together, so happy for Sr. and Jr. in this video to do this!
Maybe just my playback system, but the kick drum and the lower frequencies of the bass were interacting badly for me. All sounded somewhat boomy and muddy down there, which spoiled the feel of the whole thing. I can only assume it was just a coincidental interplay with the TH-cam compression and my Bose playback system. But the playing, as you'd expect, was top notch. Abe Sr sure hasn't lost it, and Abe Jr sure has got it...! ;)
I saw Abe Jr. at the Potato with Michael Laundau and Jimmy Johnston on bass. It was soooo fucking loud!!! Just Abe playing in that room was body altering thunder, let alone Jimmy and Mike. Loudest live Jazz I think that club has ever heard. AND it was a live recording for Mike's record. The Laboriels are so legendary.
I just discovered these guys a few nights ago and I can't stop listening. I sing like a mf and would love to throw down with y'all. That drummer looks so happy to be there and the way y'all are organically grooving, that's magic and I absolutely love it! Cheers from Texas!
Watching and listening to this groove totally made me forget about Coronavirus for 17 minutes. Thanks for sharing :)
I try to watch this every week at least once...just to reaffirm that families that play music together are awesome, music is the best therapy, and joy is only 17 minutes away.
Lucky enough to have played with Abe in a band situation for 3 weeks when he was in his early 20s. Simply unbelievable player and human.🙏🏽🥁
Wow. Paul really knows how to choose a drummer.
Abe nobody grooves like you! You are theeee pocket drummer! Wow!
That's gotta be a proud daddy having your son playing drums so good behind you :)
That's the drummer for Paul McCartney.
@@vernonsteinkamp1088 yeah he's the son of the bass player too
What's the name of the bassist?
@@alexesther787 Abe Laboriel Sr
Abe is a natural feel drummer..great rhythm and taste...his tour with sting was special *
THE ONLY thing better than one Laboriel is two. How cool is it to watch the Dad and the Son jam it out like this. I got hooked on Abe in 1977 with Lee Ritenour' band and then Friendship Group. Long live The Golden Bear.
The best 17 minutes of my life so far this week.
amen man. amen. we need more of this :)
Sí señor!
Love how raw and loose but tight it all sounds. So good.
Well! Damn! So totally relaxed and groovy! The way Jr and Sr play together is the rhythm section equivalent of sibling harmony! Totally fearless playing!
Dad still has a head full of hair and son is bald as an egg. Oh well...we have something in common. My dad has a head full of hair at 89 and I'm bald as a milk dud.
I am bassist/drumer and love the family laboriel and Mathieson too but Landau is like a GOD
NASTY, Just plain old nasty, funk-to-funk-alasion! Some body open up the windows and turn the freaking fan on!!!
Lol the way Abe jr plays he looks like he doesn’t know how to play drums but he’s so so good
Absolutely brilliant! What a sick jam! 🤘🤘
I remember when I saw Abe playing, when he was with Al Jarreau back in 1977. He was outstanding back then and watching him play on this video with his Son ..... all I can say is 💥
The part at 11:20...u can tell that they've groOoved (extra 'O' for more groove!)
"So, son, you wanna jam out after breakfast?"
Seeing them live is truly a religious experience for me and I am not religious :)
Amen to that
There is a hard rock edge to Abe's playing ... it adds weight to his musicianship ... UNBELIEVABLY GOOD x
What an outstanding session! These guys are seriously top notch.
Love u Abe my fav monster on the skins
It was a privilege to see you in Costa Rica come back with Paul and the boys
How great must it be for the legendary bassist Abraham Laboriel to play with his son, a great drummer in his own right !
That’s so cool! I didn’t realize that was his dad playing the bass.
I believe I had a smile on my face the whole performance. So great 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I looove landau rythme playing on that first song
So effortless locked in
Holy shit, just the groove alone in this tune is amazing. Then on top of THAT you have all the individual talent of this group. These guys can take a beat and push it to about a 100 different directions. TALENT 100% UNLOCKED! I bow to you.
For a moment I feel offended because Abraham Laboriel was not on the title of this video, but it is what it is.
Abe Laboriel jr. & Sr.... Michael Landau what an amazing line up.
its like noone knows what to do but everyone does everything exactly right. amazing talent!
More videos like this please
Baião on 10:24!!! Nice! We Brazilian are very proud about it!
I have to say this is the first I've heard Abraham Laboriel Jr. play, and man the guy is a street fighter of a player he just punches hard his own way. What a refreshing drummer.
That's his dad on bass, and Abe Jr. is Paul McCartney's drummer...but this is his comfort zone style here and nothing better IMO.
@@stratocat222 thanks for information.i knew the father from hiromi and didn't knew the drummer was the son
I like his playing style, not a whole lot of chops all over the place with no feelings. With some drummers, it's like, excuse me, where are you going with all those licks? How come I can't hear the rest of the other instruments?

The Guys a beast! Always stays below the radar then unleashes, Mcartney keeps him busy! It's great to see him with these other top notch Musicians
I love this band...they play from the heart. Thanks for the video DC
Laboriel & son + friends...wow!
CHINGON!!!
Kinda reminds me of JP from Clutch 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
abe's pocket just bounces so lively. such a powerhouse.
Which? You mean both right? 😉
Holy cow! What an astounding rhythm section! Unreal precision and clarity and complexity and... sheer groove. The Jazz Ministry has moved to the top of my play list. Call me flabbergasted to the max!!!!
I like how they spelled the Title. "Cutie Pie"
Keith Owens 🙏🏻 I wouldn’t have got it!
The pause at 2:37 ish...all feel...

Drums sound great snare drum has that plunky sound we all love.
Oh My! First I came across Landau as well.... (But can somebody start the video TD onto some damned DECAF???? Let us just WATCH... please)
Abe...your Dad was an amazing man and a badd bassist . I talked to him several times when he would come to Pittsburgh at the Pitt Jazz Seminar for his friend Dr. Davis. Thanks for posting
Not to nitpick sir but is he not still an "amazing man and badd bassist"?
Met Sr in Ca few years back! Super down to earth kinda guy! He's One of the most widely used session Basses of our time! His resume speaks for it's self , Passed on those good genes onto Jr
If you scanned through looking for Abe's solo ..... unashamed
Abe is so frickin smooth and tight in his playing!!! What a groove!
Which one?
Definitely mixed by a drummer ;) Awesome music!
Beautiful set of drums and cymbals Abe.
He plays with Paul McCartney.
If all jazz would be like this, then I would convert. Great job. Loved it
Try Nathaniel with Hiromi Huesara
This is not jazz but it came from it
Great!
What Paiste ride cymbal is that?
I've got the same question. I love the hi-hats too. It's two sound edge bottom as it's waved both sides. I just cannot see whether they are 15' or 17' large. Amazing sound.

Geez that kick drum sounds fantastic!
I need the piano sheet
Gerald Francis, The drumming is 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I saw Abe with Lee Ritnour in Hollywood 1977 😅 Yes, many people have no idea of all the great diverse experiences I’ve had on many continents
Man, that snare drum has the perfect resonance and ring!
Juniors good on drums but how about Abe Snr on bass holding it all down, boss!
INCREÍBLE TANTA BELLEZA !!!!!
abe's bassfaces are epic.feels
Nice n heavy groove! ❤️
snare sounds like its on factory setting
Sadly, the snare sounds just as mismatched as the whole drumset. Although Laboriel plays fine, the whole drumset is way too boomy, dominant, makes it all sound heavy, sluggish, obese.

Paul Cavaciuti you cant decide, while McCartney already did
Paul Cavaciuti exactly man!

This just made my week.
Doctor Simi en el Bass =)
WHO. GAVE. THIS. THUMBS. DOWN??????????????????????????????????
Johannes Brahms in keyboards 😱
Abe is my favorite bass player.
Maybe just my playback system, but the kick drum and the lower frequencies of the bass were interacting badly for me.

I can only assume it was just a coincidental interplay with the TH-cam compression and my Bose playback system. But the playing, as you'd expect, was top notch.

Please tell me why his snare drum sound good ? I think the snare wire is kinda a little bit too loose
I saw Abe Jr. at the Potato with Michael Laundau and Jimmy Johnston on bass. It was soooo fucking loud!!! Just Abe playing in that room was body altering thunder, let alone Jimmy and Mike. Loudest live Jazz I think that club has ever heard. AND it was a live recording for Mike's record. The Laboriels are so legendary.

I just discovered these guys a few nights ago and I can't stop listening. I sing like a mf and would love to throw down with y'all. That drummer looks so happy to be there and the way y'all are organically grooving, that's magic and I absolutely love it! Cheers from Texas!
I would love to see Ab play with Allen Hinds
