KO IS The Stevie Wonder of the cello here w/ his facial expressions. He was feeling Stevie. 😎

It's like "A Friday Night in San Francisco" meets "Two Cellos". Awesome!

These past years I've been studying improvisation on the cello, it's so encouraging to hear (and see!) you guys playing like this! Absolutely inspiring, in a very unpretentious and, most importantly, fun and and the same time commited way of playing. I'm subscribing this channel!

Played in a dozen bands, ran an open mic. A couple months ago, I got myself a cello again and I am just so happy to come back to it 💜 I find your videos so creative and inspiring.

Jacob, that's a lovely pizzicato chord comping you do at 1:00. Is that notated and published somewhere?

Phill, this is all just improvised with one rehearsal and no sleep (my kid was born 2 weeks before). I was putting on the festival as well and this was one of the last tunes so not only is this not notated, I don’t think I could’ve spelled my name at that point! Did you check out the new single dropped yesterday? Card at the end of this vid.. I’d love to know your thiughts
