I don't know what all genres the drummer plays... i just know he's the right man for any gig

[ethanburton]

4:08 Gilad surprised Russel with his lick

[rozkaz]

The drummer is having a blast just like everyone else it seems, even more so than usual. Love to see such talented musicians having so much fun

[TracksWithDax]

hands down best use of muted piano i've ever heard. 0% gimmicky, just 100% serving the style and sound of the solo. Incredible group overall!!

[francisthepoet]

something about the guitar tones and the drums and the muted piano and the basslines just make me feel like some earthen excitement has been awakened by the music

[dennis]

Emmett you muted string piano solo was amazing! You always surprise me with your playing!

[fenixfyre]

Love seeing the guitarist incorporating his pedals, we don't see enough jazz guitarists utilizing pedal boards.

I've come to learn that a friendly smile between two vibing musicians is only beaten by a smile from your child or loved ones, it's that strong.

I love the way T42 evolves in this quartet version: Starting off with Emmet Cohen's piano playing of the verse (brought me back to Frank Denke playing "Tea For Two" at the St. Francis Hotel as one of my father's most popular requests - he'd also begin with the verse, then go into the main body of the tune all in his LH) - the first solo chorus being stop time comping with drummer improvising fills (reminded me of Dad playing stop time chords while Mom - a former dancer - tap danced on a rolled back carpet for after dinner guests). A guitar solo with a Latin/Cha-Cha beat laid down a danceable groove. The contrast between muted piano strings opening up into a very tasty solo, later with chromatic chord modulations (how did bassist Russell Hall know to do that?) was a delightful surprise! A bass solo, and swing ending of Tea For Two by these 4: Loved it!

[samlandon]

Some of my favorite guitar licks! *chef's kiss*

[RobertAcurso]

@2:50 I've never seen that technique! So nice.

[yangarza]

keep coming back to this day after day, week after week – pure joy

[Akwilliams_]

Emmet's solo is a masterclass on the effect a wonderful rhythm section (particularly a drummer) can have on the feel and story of a solo! Amazing.

[camiecamper]

If I ever have a bad day ever again, this is the first place you'll find me. THE JOY THAT THIS VIDEO RADIATES

[hanfpeter]

12:41 onwards
look at the faces, thats what music is about and Emmet never fails to deliver that message through these videos

[zasdercom]

5:43 gilad quotes corey henry's lingus solo

[yukiko_akiyama]

how is it even possible to keep a smile for 14 minutes? well, this song has managed to do so

[francisthepoet]

i have listened to this over 100 times

[doughall]

I love the sound Emmet gets when reaches into the piano to deaden the strings! Beautiful playing all around.

[elijean-mary]

I love when how they in the moment decide to do the head out in swing.
