Dana. Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Feel free to add to this. Vocals, keys... anything musical you think is in keeping with the subject. In an age of excess and bombast, music that demonstrates restraint and taste deserves extra love. [video:youtube] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adan Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I get the restraint part but as I'm watching it I'm thinking -- that turtleneck must be hotter than July. Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arX Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 What a great idea for a topic and a beautiful performance. For some reason the first tune to pop into my head is Timmy Thomas's Why Can't We Live Together.

MAJUSCULE Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Thank you for that, Carlo. Beautiful. More in line with the Al Green stuff, the classic example of restraint on the clav: [video:youtube] Wish I could find a performance of the arrangement of "All of Me" that I heard the Basie Big Band play two years ago. One of the most laid-back, swinging things I've ever heard with a bass/piano duet intro. Unbelievable. The YouTube selection has a slightly different arrangement with Basie playing.

KenElevenShadows Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 [video:youtube] It'd be difficult to be more restrained than this.

marino Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Another one of my all-time favorites. In this version, the intensity drops a bit when the second singer enters.... he's good, but what Nina does in the first half can't be matched.

Mark Zeger Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 In the context of playing music, I like to define taste as having chops and knowing when not to use them. The entire John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman album is a master class in the brilliance of restraint. It's certainly my favorite jazz vocal album and in my top 10 favorites, maybe top 5. Here's a great example that became my wedding song (a band played this arrangement): [video:youtube]ecrE80rnjhw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisdanno Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Considering the fact that this ensemble contains (among others) two drummers, two guitarists, and a horn section, I've always felt this one was a great example.
