VULFPECK

Happened a couple nights ago.

Vulfpeck is blowing up, and they know it. This was a big LA appearance for them I'm sure. They are from Michigan and don't get to tour much. The sax player is sitting in for this song, playing where vocals normally go; Vulfpeck is mostly instrumental, but this is one song they had a guest vocalist sing.

So when the crowd sings the chorus at 0:53, look at keyboardist Woody Goss's face. So at 1:20 the song goes "Frank Sinatra", and they give that line to the crowd, and the crowd takes it, how beautiful is that.

Joe Dart remains my favorite bass player because of how he moves. Look at that guy. That is how a bass player should behave.

Vulfpeck has always been about unusual promotion and unusual videotaping. So here is a complete show at Madison Square Garden, for free on YouTube, filmed with one wandering camera on stage, continuously shooting for the entire hour 44 minutes.

I wish it was high res. but the music is high res.

Nate Smith is an absolute MONSTER pocket drummer. After watching clips of him on Youtube, my playing--hi hat technique on 16th-note grooves-- c o m p l e t e l y changed. When I saw what it was possible to do with each hand on a fundamental groove (hands rooted to hats and snare, all single-hand parts) it gave me the courage to reach for it.

eta: similarly, I recently saw a clip (can't find it at the moment) of a 20-something year old, baby Tony Williams playing with Miles Davis in the 60s, and in this one moment, he reaches his right hand to the rack tom and plays a single-handed figure-- kind of, "riding" on the tom? I think about it all the time, and now there's another thing I "believe" my hand can do. I never would have thought of it except for SEEING him do it.
