Improvisation - McCoy Tyner and Marc Ribot

[@UrbanElectronicMusic]

I've always loved McCoy Tyner. This a great video showing him improvising. Great!

[@u89worlds]

i've never heard tyner go into atonal/pantonal territory before. i appreciate the triptych adventure. i would love for it to have gone on for 13 minutes or so, but as it is, it has value to my ear. looking for the music with their ears and hands

[@ribotaddict]

Thank you Men, thank you for beauty,thank you for sky, thank you for stars, God is with you...

[@mannoplanet]

Cool of Tyner to go along and make it great. Great of Ribot to have the confidence ask Tyner to play in his outside style!

[@meftahe3]

Tyner asked ribot to do this album

[@mannoplanet]

@@meftahe3 Very good! Even better. I guess I shouldn't assume too much!

[@infinitefathom]

really nice. two of the greats

[@JavierTijuana]

when they play a-tonal, then the thing really flows. Love it.

[@SensoryOssuary]

you're wrong if you think tyner can't play free. this vid gets off to a bit of a rough start but i think they play together pretty well. very surreal sound.

[@DailyBrusher]

I like the post-bop and the post-punk together, and I've always loved Marc Ribot's playing -- but I think the main thing revealed here is that Tyner is a giant, and Ribot a curiosity.

[@koho]

Love 'em both, but maybe you need to hear more Ribot. I've gotten more emotional involvement musically from Ribot than from Tyner.

[@koho]

Just saw this is an old thread!

[@BessieBopOrBach]

Ribot's playing is just embarrassing here in the context of Tyner's magnificence. Rest in Power, McCoy.

[@caquish]

Classical Music!

[@gfgroupie]

all i can say is WOW

[@balluduku]

Actually it's a Montgomery Wards 8379, which is, as far as I know, exactly the same thing as a Harmony Stratotone H44 apart from the color (the H44 would be copper instead of gold) and the logo on the headstock. Although I *think* the 8379 would originally come with a black pickguard...

[@rockyoumentally]

R.I.P. Mr Tyner.

[@marcgambell2767]

Way too cool

[@Beneluxer]

You are right! Ignore the haters!

[@edsonplaviegas7740]

Grandes Múscos

[@edsonplaviegas7740]

??

[@lucas27461]

besides the fact that this clearly has a meaning and makes sense

[@patrickeskimo]

It´s an old Harmony H44, with a different headstock....maybe a new neck

[@videolover61]

@speakvisual They did a few takes here...this was not a musical failure, and I think Mark flowed with what McCoy was giving him...

[@AdebayoFayemi]

whats tht blue light??

[@StrongHeartLives]

I think in the other 2 atonal pieces Marc is really trying to get more from McCoy than he's getting - even though Marc is over all unpredictable when he plays atonal - he still has a cyclical pattern with his tempo so you can't follow behind to support the style you have to know where his is going to be (not where he just was) -

[@fiddlercrab3]

First version: subpar. Second attempt: INCREDIBLE. They got on the same page and made really incredible sounds. Third attempt lacked the urgency of the second.

[@memochok]

Fuck! 5:10 i never heard better improvisation!

[@balluduku]

It's an Ebow.

[@gratefuldead33]

you have to remember that a pianist has so much more sound at his disposable from the nature of the instrument. speakvisual has it right

[@Blastogy]

Sounds sort of like one of those "Slash Shreds" videos.

[@lungflogger9]

#2 'atonal' worked really well, #1 not sure, #3 didn't really groove long enough in a tone center - see in #3 I was hoping for each to jam a bit in a fixed key and time but I still treasure getting to listen to two brilliant musicians creating art out of thin air.

[@biostunes]

i think he is just playing with an EBOW

[@jazst21]

mr.mark is not helping anyone here O_o

[@lordjerearlofharlem6401]

They do not appear to be playing at the same time.

[@vuzganje]

I think because it's taped with 2 cameras

[@saln]

Sounds like someone trying to learn an Errol Garner transcription they've got wrong with the sustain pedal stuck down while in a guitar shop with a 17 year old kid trying out his first real fender Strat way too loud in a Peavey Bandit.

[@h.j.w2783]

damn, that must suck to hear it like that.

[@patstillman5383]

Yeah....but that can be hip....ribots an interesting cat....give him a listen

[@roberttheobald7767]

Easy. Viruoso. Yeah. You. Let. The. Music. Speak. For. Itself

[@diogomartinho8303]

fuck off bro xD

[@royangles]

I feel sorry for u, bro. This music is not understood by any ear. Keep trying.
