Studio Jams #67 - 'Watermelon Man'

[jamesday]

I’ve listened to this legitimately over 60 times in the past few years. That trumpet solo deserves an academy award!

That bass player is unreal. Picked up the bass riff from the tenor after one rep. Excellent fills and technique... just a badass musician all-around.

[alanmcrae]

Doing "Watermelon Man" as a jazz funk was a brilliant idea given the instruments available, especially with a bass player who can really bring it. While I love playing it as a Latin jazz piece myself, I sure loved hearing this deeply grooved reinterpretation. Really cool guys!

[XYBand]

That drum solo was killer! Mimicking the melody like that, I could still hear it in my head

[subzeroelectronics]

My middle school jazz band actually played this song, it was an absolute favorite.

[BiggDogg]

Now, this is what you call music. Man I love jazz. It's the only kind of music that just makes you feel good inside and out. Great way to end the day for me.

[fideliusconcrete]

Seriously cool band - the old and young guys work together in perfect harmony! 
And Herbie loves this version, I'm sure, cause it really swings.

[dreamlifter]

That bass fill at 8:39 is killer. I played it back at least 6 times.

[elmelmon]

I love many styles of music but jazz gives the player so much room to express himself. It speaks and sings without uttering a word! I love jazz!

[rondoweiss]

never get fed up with this, sounds better every time.

[bgdaddyrich]

Bassist is BEASTING on em’!!! Must be awesome to be in the studio rocking out with your son!

[nacleisterxx]

The bass sounds cool to me...the guy is good and a creative bass player...

[kurikokaleidoscope]

Dear Brilliant and Wonderful. This is the best music in the world. In any world. On any avenue.

[JazzR]

Nice trumpet solo - musical and soulful!

[bobdownes]

One thing I love in particular with these guys is: No Boasting in their playing !

Profi flute/saxist for 55 years.

Now that's music. It was as smooth as silk.😊 🎶

[stephen]

Who else loves the way that Johnny comes in at 8:33 ??

[herculesmwp]

I love how the drummer in his solo mimics the bass player. That was very cool
