Pat saying "whoa THAT fast" at the beginning 😂

This concert has convinced me that Patrick Bartley may be the best living Alto player today

This Bruce Harris-Patrick Bartley duo reminds me very much of the Woody Shaw-Kenny Garrett duo. I hope there is much, much more of this to come.

Patrick Bartley plays with the kind of urgency and intensity that cannot be taught. Incredible! SOUND ALONE🔥🔥🙏🏽

Emmet Cohen's "I Could Write A Book" quote stands the test of time

This is so burning, I can't believe that Emmet's place still stands... :)

Wish my grandpa could've heard this. He got my entire family, 2 generations deep, into jazz. Forever grateful of that, and i'm grateful that y'all are putting out such incredible stuff. RIP.

I just realized that Emmet quoted "I could write a book"... THAT IS LEGENDARY!!!

I don’t think there is enough said about how amazing Emmet’s playing is especially on this track. He plays one of the finest piano solo’s ever on this tune. Unreal creativity, musical elegance and touch. Russell is also amazing. Insane and the rapport between the rhythm section is crazy. But on this track Emmet really outshines. Hats off 👏

I love how into it everyone gets once Patrick starts his solo 😂

6:02 Man this bass player kills me every time, always tight man I love his whole vibe just smiling the whole way. Love it

This alto player is unbelievable !

10:46 the fact the drums lined up with the alto hits made it like 10x as cool, so good

10:50 is the moment everyone dreams of happening to them during a jam session.

That bass player started the solos so nicely. He even looks up like 'yeah I know that shit was tight"

SHID, THAT BASS PLAYER IS SMOKIN!!!!

Emmets piano solo here is probably one of the best I’ve ever heard from him. Absolutely phenomenal. And Patrick Bartley - holy smokes he can absolutely wail - unbelievable! I can’t stop listening to this track!

After watching this over twentieth time, I came to realize that this is my favorite live from Emmet's place video.

my two cents: russell dropping his low E to D at 9:35 is so killing

Patrick is my favorite jazz musician of all time man. Everything he does is so melodic and unique and he just has this way of occasionaly crossing the line in phrases from jazz music ust pure music. I don't know how to describe it, but sometimes he creates phrases that are somewhat simple musically, but fit so perfectly into the context of his solo and the players around him. Idk how to describe it, but it makes sense to me at least. His solos really transcend like in this performance and gain a deeper level of soulfully rich content that really reminds me how much I love jazz. I really take inspiration from people like him, and hope that one day I'm the distant future, I can possibly be a great jazz musician and can do something that is enriching and that I love to do. Thanks for this performance!

When I saw Patrick take that huge breath at 10:42 I knew he was about to explode. God DAMN this track was burning.

Bartley’s solo is out there, it’s in there, he’s the full package

Wow... no words. Monster solos and playing from all. I especially enjoyed the melodic, lyrical trumpet playing.

I love the exchange of looks at 5:07 between Russell and the drummer once he realised he was on his own

Emmets solo is probably one of the best piano solos I’ve ever heard

Also - the lead in to go back to the head at 12:04 is PERFECTION!!!! It’s like you’ve got this tune on fire and it’s being gently put out but is still putting out light. It’s absolutely divine as the listener.

There are so many problems in this world, but when i hear this music, i'm feeling like i'm not here anymore. All my sadness an pain is flying away

I love how patrick is casually wearing an anime shirt the whole time

Man, what a great piano solo. So many different elements- strong melodies, quotes, aggressive chordal motion, great vocabulary, and SWANGIN LIKE A GAWD DAMN MUFKA. Truly great work emmet. Thank you!

Bruce Harris' lyricism is commendable on this track, as well as his expert use of space! (and phrasing, which produces call and response with the rhythm section.)

This has definitely become the most entertaining show on KZfaq now.

Killin tune and killin players! Man Patrick Bartley ain’t come to play! That man had something to say and he was GONNA say it

That rhythm section of emmet, joe and Russell has to be one of the best in the game. Some of the best ears for all of them. Trying to match repetitive rhythms in their solos you can tell all of them were listening so so well

I play alto.....this dude......whoa.... full package.....and the spirit of it all.....and still humble with it......whoa

One of my favorite tunes. Cedar Walton was a bad man

That William tell reference was killin

Thank you all for a joyful moment in my life, reminding me of what is best about humans. All of it is wonderful, and I feel so grateful that you are here and will be here tomorrow, for as long as there is this outstanding KZfaq channel and I pray I will get to see the five of you LIVE someday!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

3:03 William Tell Overture quote

Man, that piano moment right after Patrick's solo.

I listen to this religiously

Honestly my mind is thoroughly blown, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I have not heard such groovin, musical, high octane but captivating soloing in a good while. Every note in phrase from Emmet just progressed and continued the momentum and narrative forward, so integral and connected yet so vivid, distinct and alive, and Patrick just burning through those out keys and in keys with so much force. Something about this was different than what I'm used to. Every phrase from these guys seems so deeply intentional, not a moment of predictable playing yet still so narratologically potent (by that I mean it all feels so apparently purposeful, it resonates, just feels _right,_ ) just real real mastery over their sound. When musicians attain that kind of control over their tools, there's some other dimension that comes out of the music, just grabs you and enthralls you in a way you just can only get from someone who truly has control over that. It's a phenomenon I don't usually have the blessings to come across often, It's something I usually only find in the real super greats of Jazz, Miles' Four and More, John Coltrane in his modal prime, Bill Evans (...basically everything he did really). Not to be controversial, but to me this is something I struggle to find in most of hard bop and jazz in general, most musicians just don't have that same level of depth and masterfulness and it comes across, but when someone does, it's really powerful. So thanks for being so good, in short.

My 52 yrs. playing half the world with some greats such as Ed Thigpen & I have never heard such greatness & calibre of Emmet & the sax player as you all are ....I was trembling passionately. Thank you

This is one room i would like to be trapped in forever!

What a pleasure to see young musicians honoring Cedar's memory!

Holy moly Emmets piano solo had me like 😩😍🤪😱😲😳😫🥰

11:12 is a testament to Patrick's incredible connection to his instrument. This is a truly singing melody.

Quoting Firm roots in the intro is very cool 😎, great band !

Boys and girls this is what is called music and those are what we call musicians. Talented as hell musicians

was just listening to the original in remembrance of the Maestro Wayne Shorter and then your rendition of his composition popped up and I believe he would have been so proud of each of you fine musicians and the amazing artistry with which you expressed your emotions through this tune! Excellent Job!!!! Definitely sharing on my time line!

That piano interlude before the last head out was UNREAL!!! So creative

I first discovered this tune as the opening track to the outstanding Eastern Rebellion 2 (1977), w/ its alternate title 'Fantasy in D'. 0:18-20 = exactly, quoting 'Firm Roots', closing track from eh same album.

First time hearing this group, and I'm completely blown away by these cats! The piano solo was especially spectacular. Emmet, you have a new fan 💚

I love this tune.

Killin guys!!!!! And yes Emmet - you could write a book 🙂

Awesome!!

this might be my new favorite video of all time

These clips are just incredible. There's so much great music being put out during covid, it's very hard for folks to stand out. But these clips... crazy good!

Overflowing with musicality

Good Lord this is awesome...

Pure gold!

Brilliant, loved it. Great playing all round.

Absolutely unimaginable true jazz! This is crazy! Completely speechless! It's so good! I'm so fortunate knowing Emmet and these so talented musicians. Patrick , possibly the best nowadays!!!!!

UGETSU is sublime film , one of th greatest ever , and this music , these musicians strike a blow for liberty in rather dismal and difficult times

This band must stay together! Such joy!

I got no words. But I had to say something. Just thank you. ❤❤

the I Could Write a Book quote absolutely floored me. Burning recording!

Woww that harmony coming out from 11:43ish is so beautiful and modern... crazy

BRAVO!!! To you all

“I Could Write a Book” (4:28!) about all the things I loved in this performance! So much rhythmic intensity and physicality in the room that when I closed my eyes I could imagine the band as a dance troupe! My goodness.........

10:40 - 11:30 John Coltrane Transitions, anyone? Oh my WORD 🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic!

very very well!!!

WHAT A BAND!!

rockin!

This is great.

Beautiful song and the incredible musicianship and energy were so thick that you could cut it with a knife. A sincere treat to hear and experience. Thank you for posting this performance.

this is so great goddamn

You guys are on fire as usual. I love the vibe.

This was miraculous holy moly

Love this, mostly because its the Cedar Walton's version AKA 'Fantasy in D'!!

always find myself coming back to this performance, a magical moment in time

Amazing musical talent ❤️

Outstanding playing from everyone especially Emmet and Patrick - jazz at its absolute finest.

Energy! Energy! Energy! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Glorious! And fabulously swinging!

Impressed

my lord this is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Russell Hall🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yay! Dynamics!

sooooo amazing squad.

Emmett always shines. This time, he was trying to catch that beautiful instrument on fire! And Lawrence!!! I have never heard better bass playing anywhere! What amazes me the most is Emmett’s ability to put together small groups of such complimentary ability! Keep on keepin’ on!❤️

that Firm Roots quote gets me every time

Amazing. Definitely

Great workout E!

another amazing solo from the brilliant mr Bartley. he must be the most lyrical and inventive jazz player ever

Una locura. Brutal!!

Never heard of them before ! Wow! Hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🎺 🎹 🎷 🥁 🎻

You guys are killing it that is so cool . Sending Love from England.

Sweet!

That night, Patrick was in Cannoball mode.!!
