Music: Jad & Den Quintet

I have recently been on a music bender on YouTube, hopelessly addicted to the algorithm that has eerily captured my preferences. Not just shredding rock guitar, but plenty of jazz and progressive rock.

Then it pops up this fucking gem. A quintet (that’s a 5 piece ensemble for you youngs) playing a sleeper from Emerson Lake and Palmer. The Trilogy album never got the play that Brain Salad Surgery or Tarkus got, but it is a kick ass collection of the genius of Keith Emerson’s inner voice.

The Jad&Den Quintet perform this in one take, LIVE, and it is just magical.

In case you aren’t familiar with the original, I will add it here — the official ELP channel — so you can hear the ethereal sounds of the master, and the eclectic vocals of Greg Lake.

I hope you enjoy this slice of bliss.
