Dhafer Youssef - Odd Elegy

[@oscargill423]

Some university jazz students told me about Dhafer Youssef years ago. I decided to check him out. This is the video I watched. I was immediately fascinated by the unusual rhythm... and thus began my love for additive rhythm. To this day, I love the naturally flowing feel of the 39/16 combined with the spontaneity of the jazz influence, and it's been highly influential on my musical taste. And I'm very grateful for that. Thank you Dhafer for this crazy cool music.

Oh my god...This is so inspiring on so many levels. Sitting at home and this makes me cry...

[@angelajackli1019]

one of those musicians guiding me trough life since many years. life is a beautiful struggle and music a guiding light. keep it shining on!

[@jasonjackson3114]

Excellent. Middle East meets jazz and its percussive. Fusion doesn't get better than that.

Tigran is a dragon.

[@linzmusic554]

In the Mehliana sense? Absolutely agreed

[@unprovablegod]

Is this a very young and hairy Tigran?! What a combo!

[@s.menester2600]

I thought the same 😮

[@ahmadadelian2920]

i dont get tired of listening to this song

[@babettevomberg3543]

Das ist tolle Musik und so einfūhlsame Musiker. Danke dir das alles auf KZbin gefunden zu haben. Freue mich schon auf ein live Konzert. Hoffentlich bald wieder.

[@asraliaikum]

Absolutely incredible.

[@fabiofazmusica]

Its wonderful! Some jazz tabs think 39/16. But following the piano we achieve 7/16, 7/16, 7/16, 9/16, 9/16. Maybe Mark Giulliana just felt the groove to build his part, or had followed the 4-4, 4-4, 7/16 form. Lets ask him...

[@Ludwigooo]

Yeah, or maybe 9/4 + 3/16 ..

[@yusdrum91]

well, it is 39/16, divided into 7-7-7-9-9 just like you said.

[@jsmith108]

It's one bar of 4/4 and one bar of 6/4 , listen to the spotify recorded version

[@yusdrum91]

@@jsmith108 I asked him in 2012, he told me, it's 39/16 (7-7-7-9-9) twitter.com/markguiliana/status/245185435314315265?s=20

[@UkuleleAversion]

@@Ludwigooo That’s just for the opening version of the riff… He changes it for the solos and following repeats of the melody. Also, 9/4 + 3/16 would be harder to read than two bars of 4/4 + 7/16. It’s also more correct since Guiliana plays a backbeat groove for most of the mixed metre (again, this is just the opening we’re talking about). The solos use 7/16 for three bars then 9/16 for two bars. Although the musicians are obviously not feeling all those sixteenth notes, they feel the larger beats and if you look at Tigran’s leg he’ll tap the eighth note pulse to feel it out.

Magic.

[@avukadox]

ok i tryed to count it . can someone pls tell me if im right? 7,7,7,9,9? 39\16??thats the time signature?

[@tommimala]

Yes!

[@SkuddMudd]

+avukadox That's the same I got, although I have a transcription of this in 4, with one bar of 7 at the end. I think the 7,7,7,9,9 makes more sense. You can count it out easily by following the chord hits in the solos :)

[@Snack24580]

i can't follow is that right 7,7,7,9,9?

[@meepriv9483]

I think; 4-4-5-5-4: 22:16. At least when the Pianist is improvising. I didn't count the rest.

[@OscarGeronimo]

We're playing this in an ensamble in college, and it is written (for ease of reading, and for rhythmic play) as two 4/4 bars plus a 7/16 bar but with an indicated clave structuring all (borrowing a term from another culture, but that's what is in operation) of 7-7-7-9-2-7 sixteenth notes.

[@philippelemoyne5166]

C'est la classe pure

[@TheCarnun]

Yeah, kid. Yeah!

[@gabrieldunn7384]

You'll like his "Aya" from the same concert.

[@marcusfountain1694]

With my eyes closed , I thought it was early RTF.

[@addthisto]

...and this is how I found out about guiliana 10 years ago. thanks

[@yusdrum91]

I've asked this to Mark Guiliana (Drummer) years back, at least the way he counted was 7-7-7-9-9

[@tariqamine4682]

The link of the full concert please

[@yusdrum91]

@Asmir Turčinhodžić you can hear the grouping in 7-7-7-9-9 start from 2:29, hear the accent on the bass, from one note to another that's the grouping, 7-7-7-9-9
