As a pianist, I can't tell you how hard it is to walk a bass line your left hand and solo in your right! This is some high level shit right here.

[kooky]

OMG!!! SORRY 😂. Your pianist is so young, but he can improvise these super licks during a perfect walking bass. All of you are hi level! Thx for this moment

[Nestor_Fernandez]

Great playing Chad! Happy to hear this different sound with the organ as well. Killing solos!!

[HexySaxMan]

Absolutely amazing, spirited performance! Everything there... pocket, feeling, virtuosity. Slam DUNK! Only thing I'd add is Holger to start pulling some stops, but dayum... KILLIN!

[MLHunt]

One thing that strikes me about you Chad is that you always seem to have great vibes/chemistry no matter who you're playing with. I don't think it's because you only play with people you know well because you play with so many different people, and when I caught you in Philly I don't think you'd played with any of the musicians in that ensemble. How do you do this?

the amusement face at 01:21 had me struggling

[PericoDeLosSaxotes]

Give me a kiss to build a dream on, Rubiales 😂

[shawjazzy]

Omg take us to chruch.... but on another note i tried out the nexus select tenor sax 002 serial number great horn very light wish i could buy but dont have 5k lol unless people want to donate to me

[florianschlepphorst]

Very impressive, especially Holger Marjamaa on the organ. But two questions remain: firstly, what did the drummer to his poor cymbals, totally out of shape? And secondly, who is the old guy with his mobile phone filming around 5:10?? Just trespassing?

[brandonfu]

awesome performance! just curious, who did you play with in the super bowl? i can't seem to find it anywhere lol.

[Sue]

Ya, if Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane had a love child, I'd be Chad LB

[felixdelgado]

Arreglos diferente casi ni se nota que es afro blue.

[PericoDeLosSaxotes]

Stop Rubiales, Stop Franquismo, Stop the Lie.
