Brian Blade's father gaves me chills singing at the end of the concert... Soulful music.

[@jeancanesduversaint853]

Melvin. Butler tenor sax,is a great player

[@capeheartriz]

glad he is still with the fellowship....

[@seanhawley5367]

Somehow this bands works. Each having a starkly different style but being able to be sensitive to the emotional development in the moment. John Cowherd is an amazing composer.

[@artcamacho9366]

the "Bruce Lee of jazz ! Perceptual was the best album.

[@JanM351531351]

Too bad the sound is so compressed...

[@Bassoonify]

That's some very sexy bass clarinet playing

[@NikosCharalambousmusic]

Oh yes!!!

[@tarangpoddar]

Look who I just ran into!

[@NikosCharalambousmusic]

@@tarangpoddar good to see you are checking out some cool music ;)

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

not much of a reed guy, but, the guy playing the big (Bass Clarinet?) has huge good tone. I flipped here from another Fellowship video where the same guy was playing alto sax, his tone was exceptional in that video as well...

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

+Jeffrey Alexander the tenor player is receiving his notes from god....

[@DubsMood]

If just the mixdown was a bit better...

[@EricFontaineJazz]

33:34 bass clarinet has the low-C extension.

[@DeadHeadBearman]

Hey man, you posted a video of the band playing at the st emilion jazz festival. I was wondering if you still had a rip of that show

[@skaynekurtis]

...my goodness... Jon Cowerd...!

[@charleliarsenaultdrummer1886]

The first song theme is very similar to lord of the ring soundtrack. Still great

[@juancava8375]

What's the name of the song that starts at 16 minutes?

[@juancava8375]

Thanks a lot!

[@thejuggler2497]

TOO MANY UTUBE
ADS INTERUPTING!

[@frankjohnson8936]

Is that Brian Blade the ex-NFL player?

[@Zzeon]

Compression was not a factor for me, I love sax, and while the sax explored new regions, it seemed to lack the brilliance of the other performers. Other than complete immersion, performance and music was spot-on for me.

[@octavioandradejr.3386]

The music is amazing....but the introduction sucks!

[@markothwriter]

+Octavio Andrade Jr. so negative. get a life loser.

[@thejuggler2497]

Rough Start but
a Dazzling Performe
Another AD!
Is UTUBE RACIST?

[@thejuggler2497]

HOW MANY
STUPID AD'S
DOES IT TAKE
TO CHANGE A
💡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

[@keniwashington672]

Sorry. Dreary music.
