| Jazz for aficionados In fairness to the ladies, while these "Funkettes" (meant to represent the Radio City "Rockettes"; an American institution) aren’t exactly "in the pocket", the video track is not in sync with the audio track. It is a little ahead of the audio trac... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Above link was corrected. Sorry. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Excellent! Good catch. He quotes Gerswhin’s "Rhapsody In Blue"; the passage that follows the end of the opening clarinet solo:@ :40https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KPL19IgsEHcJames Carter is a monster saxophone player; a real virtuoso with amazing te... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Of course, I meant to write "It Don't Mean A Thing..." not, "I Don't Mean A Thing....". The jokes can start flying now ☺️ | |
| Jazz for aficionados "INSIDE": conventional, traditional, tonal, "inside the harmony""OUTSIDE": outside conventional harmony, atonal, avantgarde, "noisemaker" 😉 | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Who can name the tune that Joe Henderson quotes at the very start of his solo at :45? Hint: Cuba****https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLLhORrvwD4q8PiN2bIn5cbuaHiomigktt¶ms=OAFIAVgF&v=nC0zxx...Since there were no takers, the answer i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That's right. Digging a little deeper still, much of Bach's music was written in four part harmony; SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass- the voice types required in a choir and applicable to instrumental music) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, man!, you sure covered a lot of saxophone ground with those two posts; Webster/Hodges to World Saxophone Qt,!Love the WSQ! But, then, I love saxophone quartets. For guys known for their avantgarde playing this is some of the most "inside" s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jzzmusician, thanks for the clip. Wasn't familiar with MeShell and always good to make musical acquaintances. Her music seems to be in a kind of neo-soul bag and definitely creates a mood. Is that her playing bass on that cut; I understand she'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, oh geez....do I have to do this?Frogman 10-04-2014**** I do think that Blakey sounds, as usual, a little lazy and sloppy. That’s his style but not my cup of tea. He is obviously a great drummer.****Orpheus10 10-04-2014****As I sit here tryin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jzzmusician, I'll have to listen to that clip another couple of times; I was way too distracted by Liz Wright. I think I'm in love. | |
| Jazz for aficionados psag, welcome to thread! Rok beat me to the punch with his comment. I think it's hard to make a case for ****In the 60's the hotseat for jazz creativity moved to Europe, **** when, for starters, you had the work of, among others, Miles and Trane... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hargrove "Soppin The Biscuit". Nice! Probably my favorite Hargrove so far. Notice how he left space in his solo and didn't cram every beat with notes; much more coherent solo as a result. Turrentine; what a sound! Knew it was him after a few ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Willis Jackson: Jackson, Charles Earland, Pat Martino, Idris Muhammad; what could possibly go wrong? Soulful, funky; and that tenor sound! Martino has always liked to play with organ players; he is a monster player. Muhammad was one of Dexter G... | |
| Jazz for aficionados D.D. Jackson (again): Some musicians march to a different drummer (no pun intended); and this guy definitely does. I haven't quite gotten a handle on this guy, but he has something going on; I'm just not sure what it is yet. Love the humor in h... |
