KuruPrionz Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It could mean that. Or, it could mean that even little kids can play jazz keyboards. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawback Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I played the video this morning and my wife called from another room, 'Little early in the day for Monk, don"tcha think?'

Threadslayer Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I've heard stuff that didn't sound any worse than that on late night jazz radio.

mate stubb Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 There used to be a recording making the rounds of a customer making a tech support call who loses his cool midway through because his hard drive was wiped when he got his computer back, erasing all the files for the novel he was writing. Somebody put it to music, in a free jazz kinda way. Sounded a lot like the above clip - pretty funny! My Google-Fu is weak this morning, I can't find it.

mate stubb Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Those kids have a good sense of leaving space. Notice how they pause while Dad fills and then come right back in after the one. Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reezekeys Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I know, all jazz is just banging on the keys right? Look, two-year-olds are doing it! Ha ha, so funny... BTW the infamous "Canon laptop tech support call" music was done by Henry Hey, a great keyboard player. Not really "free jazz" like the OP's video. He followed the pitch of the poor guy on the tape and harmonized it. I wouldn't think I had to explain this but reading the comments here, maybe I do. He did the same thing with a Sarah Palin soundbite. For your listening pleasure: Steve Vai did somewhat the same thing on Zappa's "Jazz Discharge Party Hats" and "The Dangerous Kitchen" (from his album "The Man From Utopia") where the band improvised in a free-jazz style behind him. I'm pretty sure it took actual musicianship to pull those tunes off, regardless of whether they sound like kids banging away to the folks here!

CowboyNQ Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 He followed the pitch of the poor guy on the tape and harmonized it. There's a chap who has pretty much built an entire YouTube following out of doing this - MonoNeon. Primarily plays bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
