I'm not sure if this has been shared already, but I think it's a must see for anyone who enjoys good music.

Does nobody else dig this?

Yeah I love this stuff..... That's a real talent.

I love live instrumentation, especially in hip hop. That's why I love the Roots, and their live shows....The last one I went to they had this dude playing the TUBA- jumping around, acrobatics- all that! And then he had the nerve to be smokin cigarettes after the show! It's not a lost artform.

There's actually a white female violinist who Jay-Z had play at a few of his shows.

Oh, cool, thanks for sharing.

This is dull, violinist tries too much. Dont make it harder than you can play.

Interesting. Actually, it reminds me of videogame music, or anime music. (Main melody of a single instrument, often violin or flute type of instrument, with an accompanying backbeat...)

Tuba Gooding Jr.? Yeah, I think they also added him to their Jimmy Fallon show line-up. Good stuff.
