As a high school band nerd and fan of electronica, prog rock, ai, and human creativity - this hits a bunch of buttons for me.
A few comments:
1. A bunch of people have said this is AI, or sounds electronically modified, or “too perfect”. To me it definitely sounds studio enhanced (bass drumb way too thick, too much echo for that location), but not fake. Everything you hear here is well within the range of these instruments and good players.
For example, one of the guys is rocking a *bass* sax which is quite rare and is really fattening the repeating low brass riff. The cymbals the drummer are using have holes that create that shorter splashy sound. The Marimbas played with those mallets really do sound like that and when layered over the harmonized trumpets makes them have this really cool almost electronic ringing sound.

Is it considered gauche to quote-tweet oneself? Oh well.
I always chime in on this topic every time it comes up. Here's why:
Sometimes people tell me that my comments helped them to move 6 months or a year faster than they might otherwise have.
My kids are the most important thing in my life by a LONG stretch. They provide more joy and meaning to me than I thought it was possible to feel.
When I think about helping someone experience that joy six months or a year earlier, it feels like almost the most important thing I could say on this platform.
Go forth and multiply!

Consider the possibility that kids will *improve* your career. Not immediately - babies are hard. But over the longer term.View quoted post on X
In my experience, happy, fulfilled people are better teammates, more reliable, and often more creative.
