Joe Muscara Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 IMNSHO, that was a really good video. (My post above was a joke about the kinds of reactions she gets here.) She did a really good job (with the help of Aimee and Glenn) explaining aspects of bebop and jazz harmony for the uninitiated. I think this video would be great for any musician coming from a more "rigid" background like classical who wants to learn about jazz. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Docbop Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have been a fan of Nahre Sol and her videos for awhile now, but have to say as a die hard Jazz musician have to say this is the first Nahre video I found disappointing. I also think highly of Glen Zaleski and let down with some of the things he said. Nahre said something that hit me instantly and reminded my of talking with my old business partner and BF whose degree is in Classical Performance, but career wise took a different path after school. My friend decided a couple years ago to get into Blues and Jazz so we started talking music a lot. Like Nahre she was always trying to look for rules as why and when to play something. I kept trying to tell my friend there are no rules view things as sounds and labels for sounds, but how you use those sounds is up to you and you figure that out by shedding and shedding and shedding. So to me Nahre was coming from the same point of view looking for rules like so many view traditional theory in school. This is why when reading about or getting to hang with jazz greats you ask a question, they play you an answer (if they answer at all), to them it's all sounds and you need to develop your ear to hear those sounds. They also play their answers because they know (especially in the early days) that the people hanging out were all from different backgrounds so ear players and others from different type of educational systems, so by playing to answer a question they've spoke in a universal language of sound that everyone can hang whatever labels they want to on. Jazz is street music and taught from a street point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I enjoyed her arrangement of ATTYA at the end. It's not bebop (it's not even particularly jazz) but it's an interesting channelling of Art Tatum into the virtuoso-classical world of Liszt, Rachmaninov et al. Cheers, Mike.
