my wife from mid-west called it elevator music…. Gotta talk to technicians about how to put some country music crap in my elevator, so she can understand that any kinda music can be “elevatoral”
@JorikYerkin: This music elevates me.
don’t question it, just enjoy
A much under-rated song—so,so lovely & what an amazing version by this fantastic group.
Very good quality video
Fancy calling it ELEVATOR MUSIC—-what a statement.
Pure genius from the four musicians—-they play as one ,perfection.
Well, your wife has stumbled upon the difference between the form and content. Yes, much of the elevator music has this form, but the content… Unmatchable.
Outstanding
Music does not get better than this -
The BOMB! These guys are so incredible I want to bow down in obeisance. Every time I hear a song I hear something new. It’s like having a musical puzzle and the pieces come together with each new play.
This, Group of Masters is the most Articulate , Smoothest, Together ,Quartet above its Originality -”Elevated to Their Own Degree” .It takes many Years to Be This….
uh, elevator music doesnt have monsterous and intense swing like this. you should have told her that. and yes i am telling you how to talk to your wife.
isn’t elevator music supposed to be non-committing and in the background. I reckon she called it elevator because of the vibraphone sound.
What reason of not good is?
I’m afraid but, I can’t understand.
ELEVATOR MUSIC >>> someone’s brain jumped its track
this is the epitome of jazz no one does it better IMHO
hey that intro comes from Bach !
I’ll ride that elevator.
The MJQ Sextet was fantabulous!!
Captivating – the classical basis of this wonderful jazz mix elevates the performance to the stratosphere. Hypnotic and moving art music.
