RichieP_MechE Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Each to thier own, but I personally hate this type of self-congrational indulgent stuff..... but, hey - I was brought up on prog & rock, & that's what I love playing / writing / listening to.

SK Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPY3ch8ddG4&feature=player_embedded#! The last part of this video is insane. It was a pleasure to be part of this band for a short while (about 2 years after this video) with mostly the same players. This particular period of that band was a powerhouse, which I think transcended the conventions of traditional big bands.

Morizzle Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The last video I saw of James Moody is this one (save your ears from a pathetic trumpet battle and skip to 1:47) [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzRe8THq6SU Funny thing is that he get's announced as "Miss Flora Purim" who in fact comes on stage after this number. I enjoyed Moody's performance more. It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Attention all members (that means you) : It's not often that I suggest a piece is "required listening," but I think this stellar reharm, in the spirit of the Christmas theme, deserves a few seconds of your time. http://www.divshare.com/download/13585885-25c CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK, really? Question, is this Deutsch or Yiddish? The first line I know is 100% German, but they are so similar I don't know if the rest is. Clever arrangement indeed, and cool reharm of the main Jingle Bells theme.

Morizzle Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The first line is 100% fake German. My guess would be it's some American native speaker trying to imitate something in between German and Yiddish. I have to say I wish they would have been more consequent in their reharm... the start of the refrain with Imi going to bII and back to I is a perfect idea, but the II7-V7 that follows kinda ruins it for me. Still, a lot of great arranging ideas. Thanks for posting, SK! It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hey all, I've been away for the forum for a while. This is a fantastic thread. I've been obsessed with Brazilian music for the last little while, and there are some incredible musicians there. Here's pianist Rannieri Oliveira playing solo at TEDx São Paulo: [video:youtube] Here's the legendary Zimbo Trio, that I had the opportunity to see (and meet) in São Paulo, sans orchestra: [video:youtube] And on a North American tip, here's Chris Potter ripping up "Confirmation": [video:youtube] Happy holidays, guys!

SK Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Burnin' solo on Confirmation up there, thanks David. Here's some different stuff. Drummer Edgar Bateman. Even at his age, he was always totally in control of his musical world, which seemed like it came from another world. His broad freedom and looseness is a reminder to all musicians to be ourselves. [video:youtube] And some of Wes at his best.

Mizu Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Very inspiring stuff. Here are some things I've been listening to lately. Maria Schneider Orchestra - The Pretty Road (from Sky Blue). Starts off a little edgy, but after 2 minutes the arrangement comes together very nicely.

Morizzle Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just popped "The Bad Touch - Like A Magic Kiss" into the CD-player. Wow... its a killer example of hammond organ in a modern jazz, non-walking bass situation. Loren Stillman on sax and Gary Versace on organ. Me likey muchly! It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki.

Joe Muscara Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I hope this is appropriate. Keyboard posted some killer players playing grand pianos at NAMM. I posted it in the NAMM thread but some may have skipped it. Glen Stewart ripping up an Estonia with an amazing reharm. [video:youtube] There are more videos such as Quincy Bullen on the same ax and a link to Keyboard's YouTube page with even more videos and different grands here.

gangsu Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Love the way he responded to his introduction - if I only had a brain! but those funky hymn chords got obnoxious fast and I wanted to hear a little more curiosity from the man. That demo wasn't about Estonia. That's gotta be Indrek Laul behind him. I'd love to hear him live! "........! Try to make It..REAL! compared to what? ! ! !

moj Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Glen Stewart burns on Giant Steps. Clonk on his YT link for info on his lastest projects.

Morizzle Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just bought the Django Bates album "Summer Fruits and Unrest". I have been nonstop-listening to it since. On Youtube there's only this one: [video:youtube] which is a bit fiddly. But the rest of the songs feature a jazz orchestra with great arrangements ranging from crazy to very crazy. More of this sound: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ewLPvH1Il0 Heartily recommended! It's not a clone, it's a Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieP_MechE Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Here's one I've been meaning to post for a while: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NFcrjMbw-8 The summer after my senior year of high school I went to a week long jazz camp at Duquense Unviersity (for trumpet, not piano). Ben Benack happened to be one of the other trumpet players there, along with about 60-70 other students. Anyways, here's this kid (Ben), one of the youngest ones there (I believe he was in 8th grade at the time) and he was far and away the best improviser there. He killed it on every solo. Completely blew me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
