Brakka Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Interesting link, Nawledge. I'm on a mac, so I can't try the software. Would that link prove to a hater that dj's are intelligent? I don't see it. It's kind of like a skater writing some software that randomly links moves, or a sax player linking riffs in Cubase to transcribe & perform later. I've heard lots of skater haters say "I can't believe they actually have names for all of those moves." I guess this could prove to someone that 'tablists are more than just "wikka wikka," it is about technique and new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salyphus Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I've never heard anyone claim that DJs weren't intelligent. I've heard people say they are not musicians, and not all of them are, but some of them certainly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Knutson Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 DJs are like any musician. Some are intelligent and some are just dumb. Some are talented, and some are just poser hacks. Some are creative, and some just copy. Some compose, and some just spin. Some are in it for the music, and some just for the chicks. https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thrashole Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 By bunny's description it sounds like the same could be applied to drummers. Reach out and grab a clue. Something Vicious My solo crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Guitar Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Originally posted by Nawledge: Benson yes, Montgomery no, school me though, are there any paticular links you recommend?Oh man, really? Wes was beautiful. He was THE inspiration for Benson. To me he was the father of modern day jazz guitar, Charlie Christian fans might disagree. Two songs I highly recommend, will QUICKLY give you and idea of what it's all about: "Movin' Wes, Part II" and "Tear It Down". Usually horn players are the inspiration for guitar players, in terms of "phrasing". Wes turned the tables. His incredibly soulful and beautiful playing was inspirational to horn players and just about any jazz musician since the 1950s. Wes Montgomery, the favorite of both Carlos Santana and Pat Metheny, and countless others, especially like someone we know in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Have you recorded an MP3 today?

Nawledge Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 cool and thanx I'm gonna track those down asap, George Benson is such an undeniable talent, learning about what inspired him is probably way overdue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahkter Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Greetings all, Have to get into this turntablism / george benson thread for a minute, as a fellow fan of the boom bap, you must must get your hands on LPs on the label CTI. All the late 80s / early 90s East Coast hip hop was super inspired by these sounds... Creed Taylor is the guy who started the label with Herb Albert, it peaked in the late 60s and early 70s, George Benson is all over it as well as a great list of other amazing jazz cats (Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Hubert Laws, Deodato, even Dizzy and Chet Baker did some work on this label). Anyways, to find the source of some classic hip hop tracks, check these out - Cherry - Stanley Turentine Freddie Hubbard - Sky Dive Bob James - One (Two is also solid) All of these are amazing music, period. One more to add: Freddie Hubbard - First Light Wanted to pass it on Easy Dahkter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I love the Bob James 1 and 2 albums! Have those on vinyl. Good music is good music... Those guys on the turntables are quite inventive, just as much as the guy that decided that the classic Fender tube amps were "too clean". sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
