Rhythm section COOKIN

[@musinKanto]

I like to believe, the reason I never heard about these 2 in the rhythm section, is because they landed their ship for this concert and left just after. ❤❤❤ so good!!!!

[@kb1drums]

Obed is so flipping creative. He really finds a way to make me question everything.

[@Eduiglesia]

This incredible music gives me back the desire to believe that life has meaning.

[@anthonywilliams6764]

This is wonderful!!!!!! What a swingin rhythm section the bass player is out of this world solid and tight and the drummer is the best I have heard in years, what a quartet ! Superb musicianship and excellent progressive ideas from each section.

[@isaiahbaudanza9822]

I think this is what they call "playing out"

[@bryanalfonso5700]

The first time I heard Gilad was years ago. I thought, "Man, what an impressive young player." I haven't heard him for a while... he's even better.

[@xelopeur]

this guitar intro is sickkkk the chords are amazing

[@adsupermusone8875]

One of the first standards I learned, fabulous sound as always

[@joldisyri8936]

Same here! Just learned the melody today. Damn that’s tough

[@mainsblanches8793]

J'aime beaucoup comment Emmet reste fidèle aux racines du jazz et du blues tout en ajoutant sa touche de modernité!!...

You can listen that in one street of Badajoz, Spain in a cube stereo XD when I don't play the sax, well, with each note you play your hair move and dance so wild, and every hair in the Emmet place music listening area.

[@devindoherty184]

what the fuck is going on at 9:10 !!! great playing

[@chrisbr6321]

Going up in minor thirds I think

[@colinalison2114]

Yeah way out & swinging. Gilad's opening solo sets all the other soloists to continue in the same groove. After Gilad's solo Emmet's look & shaking of his head at Gilad acknowledging a great solo says it all.

[@piggyfly00]

Serious question: what do they do to the harmony to make it less sound like your typical 12 bar blues??

[@loganwilliams4937]

As far as i know they are sometimes, especially the bassist, substituting the standard blues chords with alternate harmonies that indicate the same over arching harmonic progression of tonic-dominant but they are always making sure that it fits within the 12 bars of the blues and returning back to the tonic chord at the repeat of the form especially when things get especially out there. It doesn't help that they are playing it at least 240 bpm

[@elboganisimo]

they accentuate the extension notes of chords, they start or end phrases in those notes too. following Miles' concept: "dont play the butter notes"; the third or seventh of the chord.

[@CSharpListenSharper]

Lmao underraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated.

[@gil-evens]

0:56 Did Russell substituted the 4 with the b13? Any wise cat to help me understand what he did?

[@sannaxjcjf2956]

He is probably thinking IV minor in first inversion (with 3rd on the bass)

[@benh2807]

Can anybody help me please. I am an enthusiastic semi-professional musician and I play bass in a covers band, we gig a lot. We just do rock n roll standards though and it's all pretty basic, as is my playing (roots, fifths, sevenths, thirds etc)... This is obvs another level though. I love it but I don't, so to speak, get it. Anybody able to help? My questions are whether it's just me or if it kind of gets crazier and crazier as it goes (in a good way) and at the start is Gilad playing in a very loose time signature? How does Obed know when to come in??? I am very keen to develop and learn, any help, advice gratefully appreciated. Also please can anybody recommend other stuff to listen to? I like The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady, Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, Miles Davis on Kind of Blue... But these are all things I've kind of stumbled across- I don't know where to look for the good stuff.

[@joey6761]

hey! at the start gilad is playing rubato, or out of time. obed knows he's going to be coming in soon because gilad plays the first phrase of the melody a few times. i'm fairly certain obed just cues with his drum fill then and gilad catches this and follows him. the music does get crazier as it goes on! this is a very modern approach to a classic jazz song, and it ventures into more free jazz territory as it goes on. if you liked this, i recommend checking out the thelonious monk version from the album of the same name 'straight, no chaser'. if you liked how crazy it got, check out 'the shape of jazz to come' by ornette coleman, 'my favourite things' by john coltrane, and 'mosaic' by art blakey and the jazz messengers. jazz is such a massive genre that it can be overwhelming to find an album or artist to start with, so my advice is just start anywhere! you can't go wrong, and just keep listening to stuff you like. buy cds! hope this helped

Not possible. I've now watched so much I've seen Emmet's hair grow long and get cut again 🙃 Edit: Actually, today's video was a re-stream so it wasn't really a haircut 🤭

[@mainsblanches8793]

Encore et encore les masques?...les gens en revienne juste pas!!...mais quelle drive d'enfer dans ce quartet!!...

[@lieutenantcolumbo114]

Je me suis posé la même question, et pourtant la dictature sanitaire est en vacance jusqu'en septembre. Oui comme c'est juillet il faut faire entrer le fric.. Mais vraiment certaines personnes ne comprennent toujours pas que les masques ne servent à rien mise à part augmenter le taux dioxyde de carbone, re inspiré ses bactéries puis les expirés dans le masque... Ce qui permet une réflexion rapide... les élites l'ont compris, ils nous ont conduits à une sorte de schizophrenie sociétal. Les médias avaient jouer le jeu, toujours la peur, la peur fait vendre, la propagande du covid encore et encore. Et maintenant propagande occidentale. Bon ça n'en finit plus. Respirons :)

[@lieutenantcolumbo114]

Une dernière chose... Les gens qui souffrent de problèmes psychiques autisme schizophrenie bipolatité et communications (comme moi autiste asperger), les personnes qui souffrent de diabètes, problèmes respiratoires et tout autres problèmes que ce soit tensions ou autres et ben ceux là auront du mal à communiquer correctement et faire entendre leurs voix à travers le fichu masque.
