Some of the best music that I've ever heard! I must have watched this 20 times today. Vladimir Vasilkov is a legend!

I can't get sick of this, love it even more every time I hear it.

Interesting name it's almost as if they knew that Joe Dart would appear sometime in the future

Fabulous drummer

Работа этого ударника- это как полет, попытаешься осмыслить или проанализироать- непременно упадешь!

Sweet to find this again great its still posted 17 years later

That little lick starting 1:52, and how it breaks at 2:00, is damn funky. So is the bass, so is everything. Bravo !

Beautiful! Even during the cold war and current diplomatic disputes, I've always felt there were ordinary citizens like myself that just want to enjoy life and raise their family, properly. I didn't even know there was a soviet funk scene back then. Once again, Magnifico!

our country always demonized, but there always ordinary people with ordinary life

RIP Vladimir Vasilkov He was one of the best!

He was a drummer for Arsenal band lead. by Mr.Kozlov and their first LP is highly collectable in Europe.

The drummer is a wizard.In the name of sweet beans.Truly awesome chops on the ole skins.

This is absolutely incredible!

Prosto velekolepno,slusoju po neskolko razs i s utra podnjematsa s etoj muzikoj kaif,ha!!!!!

I'm addicted to this video! as a Drummer, I'm inclined to look into jazz-funk alot more closely now. Would loved to have been alive when all this was going on. Great job !

Such smooth groove

it was almost impossible to find even common US vinyl in USSR that's why the prices for imported record were so high on the black market, but soviet jazz was available on our major label Melodia in the 70s, so anyone can buy vinyl or real to real tape and listen to it. Situation in the 50s was different anyway, but in the 70s many people were into black music (e.g. jazz and so). Polish jazz from the 60s/70s is amazing too!

Amazing piece of music...!!! Amazing coordination mayn..! Russkie udivitelʹnyĭ...!!!!

yeah this video is amazing !! i wish , one day , i could play like these guys!! i love playing drums

Бесподобно! Русский джетро талл!)

можно ещё послушать советские альбомы Градского, там тоже Васильков на ударных.

I love the bassist at 2:14 "Yeah, I dig it"

Hip drummer and I dig the kid watching this who is obviously having a life changing experience at the moment.

i could swear i have heard this before, i think on a film i have watched repeatedly in my adolescence......

This is my favourite music style. Zeppelin are the best...but this, this is so groovy and warm! IS SO great!

I'm russian. In the video man says: Volodya (Vladimir), i must go to the radiostation for recording. "Oookay" - saying second and start funking.

Awesome drummer

Это фильм "Не болит голова у дятла", 1974 год, Ленфильм. This is from the movie "Ne bolit golova u dyatla"(In English something like "A woodpecker never has a headache") This movie is about the boy, who wanted to become a musician, but he faces different family and social difficulties in soviet society.

in SOVIET UNION the groove beats you!

Hey, guys, forget about that here. Look at these boys. It's 1974. They're young and cool. They are AWESOME. Enjoy the music!

nice years, nice music

Great stuff!

this is some of the funkiest funk ive listened to, ever. whenever im frustrated, or angry, or feeling uninspired, i listen to funk, and all that goes away almost instantly. i love funk. :D

the movie is "Не болит голова у дятла" originally or "Ne bolit golova u diatla" or "Woodpecker has no headache" as I am able to translate it

wow! the guy on strings is amazing bendin' them notes like a funky worm.

That's cool! :) Greetings from Philippines.

The boy seems to wonder whether picking up drums or bass. Both kick ass! Excellent stuff!

the first time i watched this i thought the floutest was druming with one hand and playing the flute too

Very good drummer! Like Bill Bruford of Yes and King Crimson!

funky flute is kewl!

Love it !!

It's awesome!

Great funk style! With flute, very nice!

Drums: Vladimir Vasilkov Flute: Rostislav (Slava) Chevichelov Guitars: Boris Lebedinsky, Eduard Levkovich As far as I know this band has no name. They are session musicians who made live jams at St. Petersburg (Leningrad) in 70's. In film credits this track is titled just as "improvisation" by V. Vasilkov. As pipelinepromotion said, it's still unreleased in any way ((

Тут и фильм очень хороший. Динара Асанова снимала не плохое кино.

excellent!!!

great stuff!..

SOOOOO NICE!!!!!!!!!

Fucking good shit. Seriously.

Brilliant.

I'm from 2022 and it feels sad to see I'm the newest comment here

I am so funked up by this.

Damn ... this is it !!! and you know it

Great music and movie as well!

The flute and drums are spot on. The guitar as well but the little twang at the end is unnessesery.

This comrades got some serious GRROOOOOOOVE!

........ waoh...... that's funky!

The work of the drummer is like flying, try to comprehend or proanaliziroat-surely fall!

Thnx for posting this, this is the stuff im looking for.

Nicely put

Grazie compagno..siamo rimasti forse in pochi ma buoni :)

Hey !! Nice!!!

chapeau! great job!

молодой в шоке, как Дорн на флейте валит как бог

Fantastic! Very good! Thanks!

still unreleased on vinyl?!?!? :( sadness.....

Nice funk!! GO!!

funky...love all the instruments

Fierce!!

really nice!

Amazing! Even though Stevie Wonder was filming!

здорово))

the combo!

awesome

Juuuuuuiiiiccyyyyy!!!

omg love it... hugs from Albania ... this iiis sooooo goooood

Killer funk, Vasilkov is fantastic!

super slick !

I want this movie... old german guitars... soviet bass... I love these instruments

MOAR

This is so fantastic! It drives me really crazy! Much more better than drugs, sex and alcohol brought togheter!

Similar music i can relate this to current funk is 'little barrie' ... but they dont have any flutes!! there needs to be more of this music!

Unlike North Korea and Nazi Germany, the USSR clearly have a great taste of music and does not discourage or ban western music like jazz and rock

Comrades get funky!!!!!

Вещь....!

Thank you for the translation. The bird makes a funky loud noise all day, but never is hurt by the noise.

great

Increible
