For those who don’t get it, I didn’t understand the first time either, the audience is clapping on beat 1 and 3 but for the song they are supposed to clap on 2 and 4. The way he corrected this is at 0:36 he temporarily makes the song 5/4 time and adds a beat so that the audience claps on beat 2 and 4 when it’s switched back to 4/4 time, he does it seamlessly and that is a very impressive thing to do

Still an awesome show. I wish I had seen him more when we were both younger...

His dad was the D.A. of New Orleans. Whenever James Booker got arrested, instead of jail he'd bring him home and make him give piano lessons to his son. Harry was taught by maybe the best who ever did it.

Took me a couple listens to understand, even after reading the comments, then I counted out "1 and 3 and", and I could tell the moment it changed as he had a 5/4 time signature as others have stated. So cool to tap my foot with the audience and it changes.

I often wonder if he did it intentionally, or if their clapping on the wrong beat caused him to slip up, and then he just naturally fixed it by adding an extra beat.

So basically what happening is the audience is clapping on the 1 and 3 of the beat, which just isn’t something you do in jazz/swing music so what he does is he plays a single measure of 5/4 in the solo to even out the clapping so they start clapping on the 2 and 4 of the beat without them noticing. It was extremely smooth how he went about doing it

@@Gustavovisk21 Yeah sure! so :37 you see how it has the 5/4? Then switches back to 4 over 4? That's where he adds in the extra count so that way they're clapping on the right beat instead of the 1 and 3.

3 or 4? Amateur. I've likely watched this a hundred times, had it explained to me by many people more musically inclined than myself, and I still have no idea what's happening. I'm sure it's just a joke being played by the musical community, and everyone else is too afraid to say the Emperor has no clothes ... except you and me it seems like.
