Jazzwee Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That was so cool. Herbie's my hero. I didn't know he was buddhist. I was just telling someone that I came into jazz because of Herbie (and he was talking about bringing in a new audience so it fits). I went to a jazz teacher and said: "I want to learn how to play Maiden Voyage". The guy just about fell out of his chair laughing and said it'll take you YEARS and YEARS to play Maiden Voyage! (actually not true but playing it well was another matter). Then he said "so let's do Blues"... But it's interesting that I was brought into jazz from a non-swing tune. I was drawn to the harmonic textures from Hancock. Hamburg Steinway O, Crumar Mojo, Nord Electro 4 HP 73, EV ZXA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. B. Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That was the best interview from Herbie I've heard/seen in a while. Yes, the in home studio can't be beat, I for got he played a Fazioli, I played one at a sound check for a national act after the tuner checked it, if I could afford one I'd have one. The people at the show asked who I was since I was playing a classical piece, they thought I wass just checking the piano out, I didn't answer but everyone listened to the piece. The sound was fantastic, it was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a muso explanation. To me, it may mean 3rds and 7ths since those are the obvious ones. So was he talking about making quartal voicings and the beginning of his Maiden Voyage chords?

Jazzwee Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 ksoper, I know that's your explanation. I wonder though if that's what Herbie meant in his specific example. Maybe I took too much from the explanation but since vague tonalities in the voicings is something that Herbie is known for, then maybe I thought it was more revealing. It brought to my mind that really strange /Eb chord at the end of Dolphin Dance. I always wondered how he came up with that. I'm beginning to think that it just came out by experimentation. That was written near this young age when he was thinking about butter notes Hamburg Steinway O, Crumar Mojo, Nord Electro 4 HP 73, EV ZXA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksoper Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I've heard Herbie talk about the butter notes before in interviews. It's a standard answer for him when asked about Miles. And that's a good thing. 9 Moog things, 3 Roland things, 2 Hammond things and a computer with stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
