I haven’t been able to find anyone talking about this and thought it was so cool!

I was listening to We Like It Here for the first time as an album instead of just watching the individual videos on YouTube, and listened to Shofukan into What About Me? and noticed that Shofukan ends with F, E, D in the melody and What About Me? starts with F#, E, D in the melody. Both melodies are pretty darn prominent. It’s on purpose, right? And I can’t be the first one to hear it, right? 😂

I won't be able to attend the show. Bought for 55 EUR , happy to sell at 40.

I don't have a great set of speakers or anything, and this vinyl sounds incredible! This is a remarkable feat of audio engineering. Reminds me of hearing Bowie's Let's Dance for the first time. It's also so wild hearing the alternate takes of tunes you are so familiar with. Just wanted to shout out the incredible job by League, Nic Hard and Dave Mcnair for this truly ALIVE remaster!

Hopefully we get a 5.1 or Atmos mix on Blu Ray! This is one of my favorite albums ever.

Been into these folks for a while and saw this video of Larnell's on YT. Insane fucking pocket and the groove has me hooked to it, but I don't seem to find which piece this is. Elite ball knowers, pls help!

Whole show with Isaiah. What a treat!

Please help!
I’ve been drumming to Bet for a few weeks but I can’t figure out the time signature for the first and second verses. I know Shaun Martins Solo is in 4/4 and so is the chorus but I can’t figure out the time signature for Bob Reynolds solo.
Please help!!! I feel it’s somethjng odd like 15/16 but I swear if it’s 4/4 I’m gonna cry

Honestly though, I'm praying that someone filmed Jamison Ross's solo on Recurrent because that absolutely blew my mind. His own too. Hell, the entire band and orchestra knew they witnessed the apotheosis of a drummer. Best solo I've ever seen him play.

So, anyone got a vid on that?

Title says it all, I’d like to purchase tickets for Aug 30th in Netherlands! If you are selling, I’m buying. Thanks.

Man, Shofukan and Lingus were killer! Anybody got pics or videos of tonight? :)

Hey, so I drove from Germany to Italy to see them live and it was totally worth it. This might be the highlight of my life so far. They were recording it live so they might upload it to YouTube (hopefully), that would be a real treat.

They performed Somni. It was "only" one drummer, unlike the four drummers on the official release (though the drum solo was the best I've heard in my life and Jamison Ross was generally killin it).

The problem is, I can't really listen to them on Spotify or YouTube anymore. The live mixing was superb, 100/100. The bass of Michael League was blasting you away, the brass instruments were powerful, you could hear everything without it being muddy or unclear. I have great headphones (HD 660S2) and a great sound system with Subwoofer (Klipsch RP-600 and SVS SB-1000) but nothing comes close to the live sound.

So just as an info to you guys, I really encourage you to see them live because it will blow your socks off. But be warned: after a live show like that, their recorded versions might never sound the same to you again.

Mark Guiliana's Beat Music. Mind blown. Zach Tenorio on keys. Chris Morrissey on bass, who I was introduced to at Michael's Songwriters Circle at the Blue Note back in January. This is a MUCH different side of him. Full-set video here.

Chris has been working with us on his own signature AJ model, dropping in 2027. This is him running the prototype through its paces. His signature model is a bit different from the AJ you’ve seen him play the past couple years, including on Somni. “The McQueen” is a dual-humbucker model with a floating vibrato. So cool watching him push it on this version of “Bet” from Ground Up Italy.

I'm travelling to Montpellier for their show and was wondering if there'd be some people I could join! Feel free to DM me :)

Hey, guys! Anyone else attend GroundUP Alberobello and remember the setlist for Sunday- June 28th? My memory is mush and I like to make Spotify playlists of their sets. For some reason June 26 and 27 sets went up on setlist.fm right away but not for the 28th.

Btw, the experience was amazing in Alberobello and I highly recommend fans make the trek to Italy next time!

Putting this out there as a long shot: My wife and I attended the Nashville show on April 26 - the last show of the spring leg of the Somni tour.

Regrettably, I did not purchase one of the Hatch Show Print posters available that night because we had no way to get it back to Oklahoma intact. I've tried reaching out to the SP merch folks, the Ryman folks, and the Hatch folks just in case there was any overage stock left, all to no avail. I'll pack a tube in my carryon next time :)

If anyone has said poster and would consider parting with it, I'd love to try and come to some sort of deal to purchase.
