I can't believe I overlooked this thread! I haven't really been exposed to much jazz, but the stuff I've heard has been awesome! The synergy between the piano and the drumset is amazing...kickass chords too! So your dad and his friends both composed AND performed this?
ya that's him and his friends playing.. i'm not sure who composed what, whatever the vid says, most of them say composed by alex darqui though or something.. he's written tons of music but jazz is mostly improv.. so iguess he writes a general outline and they all just vibe/improv off that, not sure though.
in regards to the synergy between piano/drums, it's funny because, they hadn't played together in YEEEEEEEARS.. so it's funny how they just came together one day and were able to play like that.
peace man
