Derrick always amazes me. His ability to build a groove that is so gentle, is fenomenal.

@NielsKoldewey 3 жыл бұрын

How genuine that the drummer confesses he still takes classes. What an authentic musician, no show-off!!

@ShawnThuris Жыл бұрын

It's good to see. Neil Peart started taking lessons even though people had been calling him the world's best drummer for years. Many famous opera singers take lessons long into their careers.

@wellteazm Жыл бұрын

That's Derrick! He IS one of the nicest and humble human beings around. I've met him several times and actually he got me into the backstage Areas to meet the Maestro himself, Jason. I love this Band to bits. But to be honest, the old stuff is really my time and joy of them, that Acid Jazz Funk Pop was just the shit for me! I hope their next Album will be more of that style, I reaally hope so. #Jamiroquai4Ever ❤🍀🙏🏼☀👏🏼

agreed. They say drummers are more intelligent than most and they say that left-handed people are more intelligent than most, so D-Man is WAY SMART...hahahaha

@dr.faustus4144 Жыл бұрын

This is exactly the type of sound Jamiroquai needs to get back to! Otherwise I'd love an album with instrumentals like these from these three guys! Good music needs to be spontaneous and heartfelt, and this goes lost if it's overdone when you work on the same songs for months and months... And that's I guess why I really liked these three songs!

@@mogglie im pretty sure jay kay liked disco and electronic music more than this type of music, and jamiroquai is "jay's band". Otherwise, many other bands have this sound, you only have to search. I reccomend searching on acid jazz records catalogue

Zender turned into an absolute weirdo. Or maybe he always was and we didn’t know? Anyway, Jamiroquai has always been experimental. Saying only one person contributed to the sound is ignorant. Paul is easily the best bassist from a technical standpoint.

I saw Jamiroquai at Ormond's; a tiny night club in Picadilly, London, in 1993 - just before they got big. JK had flu and croaked his way through one song before giving up. The others: Toby Smith (RIP) keyboards, Stuart Zender bass and Nick van Gelder drums just jammed. Great gig.

I'm a fan of Jamiroquai from 1993, recently i miss this feeling when J.K. is arround (if you know what i meen), this sound was a trade mark of JQai and despite the evolution of the band they should concider to try to get it back into the music!
