god bless you, good sir

Taylor's music always calms me down... It's so beautiful that it immediately draws me in and takes me to my happy place

this is gonna be directly the soundtrack of these hot summer night with no air...in italy

I didn't read the description fully and went to go save these to my Spotify library thinking they were titled "Improvisations" but no, literal improvisations. Incredible!!

Masterpiee that will prevail forever...No words can describe this genius.

For those not familiar with Taylor, don’t be fooled by his famous father. This dude is the REAL DEAL. Definitely not grandfathered in. If you haven’t heard it, you gotta give his album “Early Riser” a listen ASAP. One of my favorites ever.

Agreed! Taylor is a very talented artist who clearly has some hip-hop and jazz influences in his music.

Well, he came from a musical family, so he probably had great music playing in the house from the time he was born. Great teachers on piano, production, voice, whatever would have been his for the asking. But he still had to put in the work, he still had to have the vision, and he still had to have the talent. None of those can be faked. And if he hadn't had them, his dad would probably have steered him toward something else, with the music kept as a hobby.

"don’t be fooled by his famous father. This dude is the REAL DEAL", what a bullshit. APPLES AND ORANGES. They just can't be compared, different genre, different approach and both are amazing. Bobby is of the most important voices of american music, ten-time grammy awarded and honorary doctored at Berklee. Taylor is just an amazing newcomer if compared with the grandiosity and importance of his father.

I'm not comparing them, so there's no need to say what I said is bullshit. Let me clarify: When I wrote that comment, I imagined that there are people who are going to watch this video who have never heard of Taylor McFerrin when they saw him pop up in their KZread feed. It is mildly possible that they'd think to themselves, "Hmm.... is this guy actually a good musician and worth 45 minutes of my time? Or does he just have so many music industry connections because of his father that he was able to make a career without any incredible talent?" I decided to write my comment as a way to let people know that he truly is an exceptional musician, and didn't cheat his way in to this career. He is an amazing musician. So is his father. We are in agreement. I am not comparing them. No need to get mean.

Ok, sorry for the bullshit, now I got what you wanted to say. I took you wrong with the phrase "REAL DEAL", supposing you were saying that his father is something meanless if compared with him (Taylor).

What a trip. He's a Mcferrin with his own voice. So awesome!

As a fusion -jazz vocalist, I am EXTREMELY proud of Taylor McFerrin for keeping this aspect of the genre relevant!!! I've been forced to sing in so many different bands, attempting to find sounds and experiences similar to this kind of vibe. I REALLY hope audiences for this type of music will expand beyond just musicians and audiophiles :-)

Do you have any good recommendations for similar artists? I love his stuff especially Early Riser

Very underrated. His album was masterfully crafted. Ive been waiting to hear more since 2016!

i feel very lucky to have discovered this

Dear KEXP, really love your new live room. Perhaps after the announcer does his thing you could kill the lights on him

this right here is therapy for the mind sun! word!

This might be my new favorite video in the universe. Taylor you’re fucking awesome.

Don't miss his beatboxing at the end. It's so good!

The whole family is just so amazingly talented I saw the last name McFerrin and I just thought it better listen to it and I love that sound I really do it has a little has a feel of that zer0 7 sound

So happy that this is a thing

Discovered him tonight, thankyou KEXP. A very tranquil live set, I am going to be playing Taylor a lot more now.

Improvisation 3 & 4 are mesmerizing!!

Drooling with excitement! This dude just excels in the moment - the best place to be! I'm a VJ, but I find him a serious inspiration - he takes forever to lock shit down, but is on fire when he's playing live. Me too Taylor! Me too!!

Awesome set. John was vibing hard to this!

13:30 omgggg I started screaming.. I love this guy !

beautiful thank you

What a guy! Bang On..

Excellent Excellent Excellent!

love this sound!

Totally changed the way I perform live. Incredible control in these improvs.

What a wonderful way to discover this guy's music... so good. I've got some practicing to do.

Wonderful! Looking forward to (more) new music by him

Great music to enjoy, great musician!

love watching him totally loosen up for the improv after the interview

Fantastic dude

Dude should link up with Afta-1

Sounds that turn a hard rock into butter... I'm melting 🥴

Absolutely amazing. Impressed by how real that guitar sound is on the Prophet 6. Dave Smith Instruments is the real deal.

At about the 30:00 mark, it sounds like some chorus on a bass guitar sample. And reminds me a lot of a song I will remember and reply with the link later...

this studio was made for him

Its hard to have a famous parent. Hes really good. This is the music they listened to before the hail bop comet came.

great performance. he could do a collab with ty braxton. besides being sons of legends, both are trailing very interesting paths musically

*Sees Prophet-6 Synthesizer* ahhh, good to see that Taylor is a man of refined taste.

素晴らしい！

🙌

😍

Wow...

Waaaauuuwww

he's pure inspiration. for me, much like klaus schulze/manuel gottsching ushered into a new era of rhythmic and harmonic ideas

That ending that begins at 41:00..... Just so epic

Tasty riffs.

I clicked the video for his last name, and I kept watching for his first name.

nice groove

Genius,Bismallah.......

screaming again at 30:00 😩😩😩

oh yes, press those buttons so good. ;-D

damn, i'd love to just chill and wail on some synths with t.

idk why the pull focus as 30:07 was soooo funny

Hey, anybody -- is the opening tune in a Neapolitan Major mode? PLZ HELP.

He's somewhat of an interesting musician. The way he interacts with the instruments which he has equipped himself with, such as the keyboard, mic, his mouth and the computer added effects. Those add a pleasantly vibed sounds & music.

How about putting Tayler with Marc Rebillet and Reggie Watts just for a jam session

where he get those sounds at the start :O a kontakt library?

theres too many cables , i think he is going analogue, Komplete would have the samples though, he is playing a Rhodes organ (bottom) and a Roland prophet 6 synthesizer (top)

He could pass as Laurence Fishburne's son.. But I guess one famous father is enough.. :)
