One of my favorite guitarists of all time, Wayne Krantz, with hi Sugar Trio live at The Bitter End in 2024. Not only is the performance just sick, but 2 things stand out: the rhythm section is watching Wayne constantly for subtle & silent cues, and the groove created by a diabolically delicious time/feel shifts at 2:20, 2:43, 3:33...that lead to a sweet break down at 3:50. If you look closely you can see that the drummer is not just counting, but counting subdivisions...which is the key to owning any groove.

Secret Chiefs 3 playing "Spiritus Itelligentiae: Jophiel." This is one of my favorite out-of-the-box bands. Front man plays bass on this song but also kills it on guitar...was doing micro-tonal stuff before Angine De Poitrine. No loops. 2 drummers. Hint of Klezmer Rock. Lots of talent on the stage. Don't sleep on these guys. Been around for a while...truly unique. My favorite album of theirs is "Xaphan: The Book of Angels Volume 9. The Book of Angels is a series of albums (12 total) by John Zorn, performed by different bands...even Medeski, Martin & Wood. That's how I found these guys. Enjoy. "And now for something completely different."

John Scofield & MonoNeon jamming with Scary Goldings in the studio on "Meter's Running." Take a second to focus on Scofield's spectacular guitar lead that starts at 0:58. He oozes in to something and just when it feels right, he makes it feel better. Great communication between the guitars...but that's not a surprise whenever you're talking about the great John Scofield.

One of the best collaborations...John Scofield with Medeski, Martin & Wood. Getting funky with "Sham Time."

The Stanton Moore Trio in 2010 deep in the pocket with the tune "Squash Blossom."
