WOW, what a BAND, these guys are so aware of everything goin' on. A dream band for me ! I can't stop , the bass player is one of the best I've ever heard, great drummer. Everything and everybody in this band knocks my socks loose YEAH !!!
What a tight band! After hearing the drummer I'm tempted to remove the batter heads from my drums and plant geraniums in them. Just awesome. And the bass player is unreal also.
It's It's It's It's It's a combination of players this world has never heard. It cuts your soul in 4's and and gives you back 8's .and makes you feel the music from depths deep in your subconscious. Like when you dream at night and can't explain it in the morning. This is what heaven sounds like.
No idea where big rivers festival is but good lord what a bunch stiffs. Can’t imagine anyone standing still for this funk master class. Monster Gentlemen rule
Love John and his Monsters 🤘🏻👏 lucky enough to have seen him a couple of times ‘down under’ , such a fun vibe and not bad for a southern English boy like myself 👌 Books have many covers
The best band i know !!! Drummer perfect, I love what he doing, everybody super class musician, Jon - have best voice l know and piano player, thanks for what you guys doing 🙏🥁👍🥂❤️💪✌️
Before I die, I absolutely must see these guys live. They are all incredibly fabulous musicians - their live album sounds just as good as their studio work, and every time I see a TH-cam like this, I just about go out of my mind w. wanting to be there in real time. One day, someday, YES!
inovation, excelence, originality, creativity, swing, groove, fun guaranteed high quality. you always see was a reference for me, when I heard you for the first time your footprint had a more typical NOLA influence always with absurd performances, Your current work is in another sphere. The performance is still absurd, The sound and compositions are in tireless good taste without losing the NOLA essence, Thank you to make me happy,
That's beautiful muisic, that brother on bass is a marvelous player, monster. I'm an old white boy Motown bass playin' MF er, I love that Mo Hippa groove, in the pocket! You guys are great!
Been following you ever since I first saw you in Bruges. Wanted to shake your hand on the LRBC 32 but you’d left before we could. See you on a Tuesday in NO. One day...
I've loved this guy for years and play his old cd's all the time (does that give away my age?). He was the staring act in St. John VI in 00's. Drank wine and dined at my restaurant Panini Beach. Went to a soggy NOLA Jazz fest and was the wettest performance. Jon just keeps on the funk. Joe Panini
Bumble Rock as far as i know he’s not but just using an ‘open handed technique’ but maybe I’m wrong. He also plays the bass and does it right handed grooving like a m...f.... as well ;-)
fantastic music. Camera people a bit over the place and editing typical of a techno head ie. no feel for the music and irrelevant edits to poor shots. Jon deserves the best coverage.
Jon Cleary’s GoGo Juice makes an eloquent, definitive and future-classic statement of his funk-filled artistic vision …. No shit ??? Swamp invloeden en gogo juice … Nogal buitensporig dit kommentaar, un peu tiré par les cheveux, mais bon … excellent performance !
Sadly, (or "gladly", depending on how you look at it) not many airlines will accomodate passengers the size of Big D. these days. Remember Solomon Burke?
Haha i agree but not totally their fault... the sound totally sucked but that was not the bands or audience's fault. However, unfortunately .... i didn't come across that well. Luckily we can still enjoy these videos.
@Jerome Engelberts Haha... als 'actief' muzikant weet ik zelf hoe het is... maar ze kregen hier echt weinig van mee.. gelukkig kon ik het met dit fimpje enigszins goed maken qua geluid
Can the drummer learn light and shade.. too loud for me. Eddie Christmas complemented Johns piano better for my liking.. i saw them live and it was more like a rock concert loud mess. Chops are good but ffs turn down once in a while
A.J. Hall (drums and vocals) .... WHAT A DRUMMER !!!
True that!
なにより、演奏者たちが楽しそう。観ているこちらも楽しくなる。
やっぱり音楽って素晴らしい👍
One of the best shows I have seen at the Fest.
WOW, what a BAND, these guys are so aware of everything goin' on. A dream band for me ! I can't stop , the bass player is one of the best I've ever heard, great drummer. Everything and everybody in this band knocks my socks loose YEAH !!!
Cornell is an absolute monster!! Kudos!!
Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are a revelation. The whole band is one. Excellent band. Excellent music.
What a tight band! After hearing the drummer I'm tempted to remove the batter heads from my drums and plant geraniums in them. Just awesome. And the bass player is unreal also.
Hahahahahah, please don't! But indeed, super tight band, great musicians and lovely guys above all.
AJ is a phenomenon
Much appreciation to the all members..
Vocal/Keyboard Jon Cleary
Bass Cornell Williams
Keyboard Nigel Hall
Drummer AJ Hall
This drummer is just absolutely killing it on this performance!!!! Church y’all!!!
Even watching from home, every time i see this band it makes me smile.
Haha great and yes….. killer band!

haha i hope so! X
078Beatclub - Music & More I couldn’t say it any better. They’re the real deal and I’m in heaven..
YEAHHHHHH
an amazing musician. Jon left UK to New Orleans and never returned...🙂
He is spreading the word (and music) now... from New Orleans ;-)
Thank God !
No idea where big rivers festival is but good lord what a bunch stiffs. Can’t imagine anyone standing still for this funk master class.
Monster Gentlemen rule
😂
Drum kit set up for right hand drummer, he's playing as left hand....love it. I see some Johnny V influence there. Great player.
Killer band in the pocket, tons of soul, real feel.

S Bingham Definitely agree. I once went to one of his concerts a few kilometres from my home. It was awesome!
Heard about this band, from a drummer friend to another drummer, and I must say as a drummer DAMNNNNNNN!!! THIS BAND ROCKS!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love this band. Jon has the touch and the rhythm. Just a good time.
So freakin good!! AJ Hall is crushin it, They all are!
I wish that I could play bass, I would want to play like him. Slamming!!!!!
inovation, excelence, originality, creativity, swing, groove, fun guaranteed high quality. you always see

absolutely brilliant!!
Couldn't agree more!
Super funky - we need you guys

Couldn’t agree more
My favorite newly discovered artist. Absolutely smokin band.
Right about that! Enjoy!
Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪
Very nice music. Will se you guys both days 24TH June and 25 TH June 2022 to the Riverboat jazzfestival in Denmark :-)
WOW what else can i say ;) BLOWN AWAY - What Amazing talent
true that!
This is an awesome band.
True that! Monsters! ;-)
Truly monster players. Gutted that Big D wasn't with them but they are still one hell of a band.
Luckily they brought another Monster Gentleman along ;-) Nigel Hall!

Great story Joe. Thanks for sharing and no worries: no clue about your age ;-)
Good blues feel from Cajun Country. There are still many great players down in Louisiana but not hearing too much lately from there. Great group!
So much love for this!
Great,awesome,fantastic,cool,groovy,smooth,great feel.LUGERO
Super DRUMMER !!
True Ambassadors of New Orleans!
I was there
Dynamite group, great time, arrangements, tons of soul, funky, top shelf
Monster band, monster musiiiiic! Thank you!!!
Haha indeed they are, and thanks, glad you enjoyed it
I was there ! At NSJF too.
Great band !
You're right about that! Absolute Monsters ;-)
I saw him at the mc Donald’s after that NSJF.
Drummer is stunning!
He is although I think the whole band is stunning ;-)
He should be OUTLAWED. He is a dangerous substance!
That snare tho!!!!
Always fantastic !! Swings n with a loose beat, but no one gets off
Absolutely wonderful so brilliant ..I'm a fan....
Big D. , we miss you. But J.C & the Monsters are all right as usual.
what happenBig D?
If that rhytm section was any tighter, they would spit out Diamonds !!!!
😂😂😂
Jon Cleary you are loved....
My god....how are these people not moving!!??? I'd be bustin' moves all over!
!! SUPERB ... MONSTER ... SESSION !!
Groovy and funky! You guys are all killer! Subscribed!
This band always exceeds my expectations.
13:34 priceless! Love it
Nice formula! Bass player was kicking.
Yeh baby!!! Great band
Mulțumesc, Mihăiță! Ajută în fine la ceva și orașul Dordrecht. Monster Gentlemen, see you on Friday....
Great Band!
“Parabéns”/MMBom som/Muita Qualidade 🍻👍
Love John
Bravo!!!
Mr. AJ Hall on drums ever’buddy. Super locked. 👌🏽
He knows the pockets!
@3:17 looks so locked in
AJ, I heard cross stick for Beg steal or borrow, you are an inspiraton
Simple the best !!!! Top
Absolutely!
Drummer the best!!
Definitely on the drums ! ;-) although he’s a great bassplayer as well
These guys need a "monsterer"audience !
Haha true but due to some difficulties they weren't hearing what you're hearing when looking at the video so they're not entirely to blame ;-)
@@MusicandmoreNl078 right, different perspective sometimes may change how we hear or see things but damn what a band, astonishing !
Absolutely amazing band and musicians. Too bad the FOH was not optimal that time but luckily that didn’t influence the band too much.
wat een genante vertonining - nederlands publiek - niett eens meer commentaar nodig.
This is what happens when masters get together.
if this was New Orleans , The folks would be tearing it down. Not standing and nodding head.
This is some serious SWAMP!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
woah... drummer gotta real pop goin' huh xx
Anyone know what pedals/effects the bassist is using to get that tone around 37:40 ?
Sounds like just an octaver. Can’t see the brand but there are many of those out there.
@@MusicandmoreNl078 Thanks. Looks like a MXR Bass Octave
Could be an ebs. Seen the band in italy a few years ago.
How about the TOP horns backing up Mo Hippa?!
Damn!❤️❤️🛸👽
i agree... that's something else!
I didn’t realize Robert De Niro I as such a good musician!
😅
SWEET TASTE OF FUNK
Jon Cleary Extraterrestrial &The ETs Fevermen Planet, they are among us they came in peace.
😂 🙏
Is AJ Hall a left handed drummer playing a right handed kit?
Bumble Rock as far as i know he’s not but just using an ‘open handed technique’ but maybe I’m wrong. He also plays the bass and does it right handed grooving like a m...f.... as well ;-)
@@MusicandmoreNl078 'Monster' playa!
Bumble Rock definitely! They all are
Swinging!!
fantastic music. Camera people a bit over the place and editing typical of a techno head ie. no feel for the music and irrelevant edits to poor shots. Jon deserves the best coverage.
Things improve. Lots of small cameras. Guess it's a group of enthusiasts.
Jon Cleary’s GoGo Juice makes an eloquent, definitive and future-classic statement of his funk-filled artistic vision …. No shit ??? Swamp invloeden en gogo juice … Nogal buitensporig dit kommentaar, un peu tiré par les cheveux, mais bon … excellent performance !
zijn z'n eigen woorden ;-)
What a STUCK UP AZZ CROWD!!!
Whats the drummers name ?
AJ Hall
Where's big D ?
Not on stage that's for sure ;-) He wasn't on this Europe tour as far as i know. Don't know why.
Sadly, (or "gladly", depending on how you look at it) not many airlines will accomodate passengers the size of Big D. these days. Remember Solomon Burke?
What a bloody awful audience,.. big up Chav, the band's fantastic as are you
Hoo Dat?
So fonky lets play it agin....JC
+kenny proulx haha
Good band… bass player walking dah dog!!! Lol 👍🏾
Not Monster Gentlemen...
Monster Gents be whoever Jon say!!
One of the WORST crowds in history...
Haha i agree but not totally their fault... the sound totally sucked but that was not the bands or audience's fault. However, unfortunately .... i didn't come across that well. Luckily we can still enjoy these videos.
Good stuff but needs guitar.
almost embarrassing..music like this, and audience be dead - I'm embarrassed to be dutch
Het ligt iets gecompliceerder: het geluid was niet goed ter plekke.. dus het publiek kreeg de helft niet mee (of meer)
als veteraan muzikant kan ik je verzekeren dat Nederlands publiek pas na veel drank op gang te krijgen is, helaas...
@Jerome Engelberts Haha... als 'actief' muzikant weet ik zelf hoe het is... maar ze kregen hier echt weinig van mee.. gelukkig kon ik het met dit fimpje enigszins goed maken qua geluid
They started vibrating during Mo Hippa.
It happens sometimes. Nuff said.
Can the drummer learn light and shade.. too loud for me. Eddie Christmas complemented Johns piano better for my liking.. i saw them live and it was more like a rock concert loud mess. Chops are good but ffs turn down once in a while
ok boomer
Get rid of that Nord and they would all set.
the best
Always fantastic !! Swings n with a loose beat, but no one gets off
the master at work!
