Jazzwee Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 We all appreciate how we listen to each other in a band setting and react to each other. Interplay. Now these guys are out of this world. Truly reacting at the moment. I've seen them do this live. They're just feeding off each other. There's no chords. No rhythm section. No meter. And it's not free jazz. The highest level of jazz IMHO. [video:youtube] Hamburg Steinway O, Crumar Mojo, Nord Electro 4 HP 73, EV ZXA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Quinn Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 In a league of their own and have been for 50 something years. I saw then at the Newport Jazz Festival several years ago. They were amazing! It was acoustic only. https://alquinn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridog6996 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There's no chords. No rhythm section. No meter. And it's not free jazz. If that's not free jazz, what do you consider free jazz? My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzwee Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 When these two play, they work off a motif. So it's not random playing. They'll periodically restate the motif and then often a lot of the interaction is based of the motif. Whereas a standard jazz tune is based on the chords as the form, they guide their music on the motif while keeping all other aspects flexible (with interplay of course). Do you have an alternate definition? Hamburg Steinway O, Crumar Mojo, Nord Electro 4 HP 73, EV ZXA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridog6996 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Free jazz doesn't mean random playing. Free jazz also doesn't mean lacking melodicism, harmony, structure, or interplay. In fact, what's referred to as free jazz is often structured in its way, just usually not in the conventional sense of predetermined chord progressions, meter, and what-have-you. I would call what Herbie and Wayne are doing there to be a textbook example of free jazz. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16251 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The only thing I missed from that performance was they didn't quote "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
