By: samadjhi. on 27 Jul 08, 02:05:40
We have a mutual interest the love of jazz. But those terms "cool jazz" "hard jazz" "be Bop" were despised by the musicians who were defined but them. Those terms were applied by the critics who didn't understand what the musicians were doing after the swing imagine painting a picture and someone comes along and decides to title it. I say this with all due respect to you and if you do the research you will find this to be true.

There is no one better nor has there been than George and McCoy. Some as good but different, but not better. Fantastic drummer! I don't know why some of you boys don't care for him but the kind of drumming I like improving over. One thing about George's pop playing is that it brought jazz to the masses. I see nothing wrong with that. Most of the standards us jazz players like to play over were once pop greats. Great chords and melodies in those older tunes

His fast playing, sounds and remarkable Mixolydian scale (he's master at that!) is so brilliant!! Anyway in my favorite video list there's a video about Mr Benson come into friend's house and sings. Amazing voice.

By: JC10255. on 19 Sep 08, 02:06:38
I respectfully do not understand this standpoint. Are people questioning Bensons "judgment" for getting involved in music with a back beat - even music that can be played on the radio? Cause really, thats about the only thing you can really question - his judgment - and why in the world would someone want to do that? Obviously he got involved with back beat music for a reason - and the answer may not be only for money, maybe he just liked playing R&B. I don't question or criticize it.

I tend to think the other way. Evan's solo performance is too busy, too hard swinging, almost showboating, not that that's Evans' style, which is totally the contrary, but still, on this performance, Jarrett is playing with the subtlety and romance this piece deserves,

This whole problem ...
By: iwanttowatchsomethin. on 04 Aug 08, 12:41:58
This whole problem of performers "distracting" us with their bodies is something classical audiences and critics have developed to differentiate poseurs from good performers. In the jazz idiom, we do not generally separate the dance if you will from the sound. They are all of a piece, and it is the body that is creating the piece in real time. I don't think the criticism about Jarrett's gyrations is one native to the idiom he is working in.

Freddie Hubbard w/ McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones
Posted by: jazzster123

Video duration: 594 seconds

Freddie Hubbard w/ McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones performing Hubbard's blues tune 'Birdlike'. This was recorded off a live radio broadcast. This part features as fine a piano solo as you are likely to hear by Tyner and then a blistering solo from Hubbard. Audio only but I hope you agree it is worth a listen. To my knowledge it has not been released in any format.

By: jazzster123. on 18 May 08, 03:12:46
I have changed the spelling in the description, as far as I can tell when originally released in 1961 it was spelled as 'Birdlike' rather than 'Byrdlike'. But I have seen it spelled both ways and some claim it was a tribute to Donald Byrd, but here we can take Freddie's word for it.

Wes was the ...
By: mibifinalist. on 16 Nov 08, 10:47:06
Wes was the greatest melodist of all, he made the head of every standard he touched sound fresh and individual. The way he played the first chorus single line, the second in octaves and the third in block chords - unbelievable. His improv was second to none and he was a great supporting player. He changed jazz guitar's course and direction. Wes is a class above, Emily is just not as good. Her single line improv here sounds feeble = 2:55 for example, and many of her lines sound dated and cliched.

When playing is this good comparing one player at this level to another is pointless. The playing is just different. Why people have to turn music into a competition I don't know it isn't purely about technique - technique is just a tool.

Did you just imply steve marcus has a bad tone? Man, people will say anything on the internet. But, no, it's not so much for pitch, it for effect. It does change the tone a little. Thats the point. It gives the low notes subtones. It makes the high notes project. It's not on purpose, it's just what happens after you play for 40 years and get good.

By: GuidoVivaldi. on 02 Oct 08, 23:25:36
It is actually a part of his tone. Notice how when he plays lower he pulls his jaw back, and higher it goes forward. Check out closeups of most sax players and they do that. I'd bet he has no clue he's doing it. Players do weird things with their face without knowing unless they look in the mirror.

I too saw Steve Marcus with Buddy a number of times; he could play the sh*t out of the tenor, but, like all soloists with Buddy, he usually had to cut things short. Marcus also did some good work with Kenton, who always needed to have a couple of soloists who could deal with all the brass. Marcus was enormously powerful on the horn.

Live at Blues Alley is one of the best jazz albums of all time. The interplay between the four of them is inhuman, possibly the best I've ever heard as well. What makes it even sicker is that Marcus is blind and the others hardly ever look at each other; listening of the highest order. Cheers from Florida.

you sound like a nitwit. I have 10 + guitars with 10-52 for Les Pauls and Strats while 12-56 for my archtops. You just don't bend strings 3-4 chromatic steps w/ an archtop w/ 12's or 13s while I do it regularly in some positions w a strat or Paul.

By: utubeissad. on 19 Aug 08, 17:02:52
Secondly, if you're talking about technique, if you know anything about playing the bass, any bass player - novice or expert - will tell you that Charlie has some of the most unusual (i.e. wrong) technique any bass player has ever used! He grips the neck as if he's choking a chicken!

Sorry, but that's ...
By: utubeissad. on 19 Aug 08, 17:01:03
Sorry, but that's the most RIDICULOUS assessment of Christian's playing I've ever heard! If you'd said Ron Carter, Buster Williams or even Dave Holland, I might not be so harsh. But Charlie Haden????? You gotta be kidding me!! That man hasn't swung since he played with Ornette! Christian's a direct protege of the great Ray Brown. When Ray Brown wanted a second bass player, he called Christian, not Charlie Haden! When all the old bebop guys wanted a young guy who could swing, they call Christian.

By: bassramos. on 18 Aug 08, 00:49:00
You guys know Christian McBride is just not as good as Charlie Haden. He needs to go back to Jazz and study the Jazz language more. He should play with a touch more swing and soul as well as work on his average technique overall. I think in the heirarchy of good bass players Charlie is like 6 and Christian is like 24. I agree Charlie Haden would wipe the floor clean with Christian McBride when it comes to good Jazz bass Playing.

there may equal contributors in instruments but really in nothing else. The style of jazz music was developed over time by guys like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane Cannonball herbie hancock Wayne Shorter, all of those guys being black.

By: LyricSuite78. on 13 Jun 08, 23:35:18
"To not no anything about african intruments and to claim that musical element of jazz came from europe is a way for whites to steal jazz as their music" No, it's simply stating a fact. Jazz harmony comes straight from European music (French impressionism in particular was a great influence), as do many of the instruments used (piano above all). Nobody is claiming that Jazz is an European art but it does have a strong connection with the latter.

Maybe, and it's a ...
By: Sunderlanding. on 17 May 08, 23:33:11
Maybe, and it's a big maybe, the blues was mostly African, but Jazz wasn't. Jazz I can't pinpoint one culture having a larger influence. Most of the rhythms actually came from Latin America more than Africa. Traditional African music sounds nothing like jazz, and in all honesty the one form of music that sounds closest to jazz on it's own is the late romantic period that was comming out of Europe.

i agree with that ...
By: SSJBartSimpson. on 17 May 08, 23:28:33
i agree with that completely but I believe that it had a lot more to do with african influence than european, european music gave the influence of extending chords and harmonies by 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths, which became popular in the impressionism period, the blues and rythms came from africa.

..but the blues ...
By: Sunderlanding. on 17 May 08, 20:42:52
..but the blues isn't strickly African either. It was developed in America and therefore is the music of the Americas. True it did have a lot to do with African folk music, but it likewise had a lot to do with Europeon music as well.

By: SSJBartSimpson. on 14 May 08, 04:28:46
take one part out of the equation at a time and see what happens after your done youll find that the one without the blues influnence came least close to the answer that is american music. eg. 25+10+15=50 take 10 out:25+15=40 take 15 out:25+10=35 take 25 out:10+15=25~out of all of them the one w/o 25 was furthest away from the answer, in this scenario 50 is american music, 25 is the blues and african influence, 15 is european harmonies and northwest influence, 10 is from the rest of the world.

That's what I said ...
By: Sunderlanding. on 04 May 08, 22:54:45
That's what I said asshole, but there are other contributors as well. Equal to the blacks. It's American music, and it draws from all the peoples of America equally. In case you didn't notice they didn't have pianos in Africa.
