His approach to playing is so sophisticated. I think of this often when I read some comment (and man are there a ton of them) on video of a song by The Who or the Rolling Stones saying "This is *real* music! Not like what the kids listen to today!" And all I'm thinking is "Man, that's three major chords in 4/4 time for three minutes. Have you ever heard jazz? Those cats would laugh at you calling that the 'real' music." Don't get me wrong. Rock music is my favorite kind of music, and I love the Stones and the Who and the whole roster. But it's so funny to think that millions of people think "Satisfaction" is as high as music can climb.

He still has to write the complementary line, and still take it to the bridge. Think like they do. Not endless noodling, but a direction. Think Cannonball.

I suggest you take the time to do a little research. If you go read a few interviews, you'd find that Herbie, and especially Miles (especially in his famous 1962 Playboy interview) would disagree with you. Jazz, like it or not, IS the musical heritage of the African American community. That doesn't mean that you can't play it, enjoy it, or even contribute to the medium, but it does mean you need to recognize that jazz cannot be separated from its history. Look no further than the police beating Miles Davis in the head outside of The Birdland Club in 1959 to realize why he felt the way he did. Don't take it from me, but Miles Davis himself in his own words, "It's a lot of the [black] musicians mad because most of the best-paying jobs go to the white musicians playing what the [blacks] created."
@pearlblues36653 жыл бұрын
@@jbird1130 I didn't say that Jazz wasn't created by Black Americans or that it isn't their musical heritage... but never mind... Having said that, I think Miles would agree with my original point that "when you're a musician, your culture is music and nothing else, no race, no colour, just music. " because he used both white and black musicians throughout his career, the only stipulation being that they were good musicians and in particular good at Jazz.

@@pearlblues3665 I agree with you on a lot of what you're saying! And Miles Davis, for all of his many well documented opinions on race, certainly valued skill and obviously loved Bill Evans. Where we disagree is that a musician's culture is only music, free from color and race. That may have been true for you, but it simply wasn't for many, many black musicians who often had to perform in venues where their own family might not be allowed in. Miles was at the height of his career during the Civil Rights movement. All I'm saying, is that in their own words, Miles and Herbie spoke EXTENSIVELY about what music culture was to them, and especially as it related to race and how that affected their life.
@jbird11303 жыл бұрын
@Aaron I'm quoting Miles Davis. Additionally, where did I say anything that contradicts what you're saying? I said that people are free to play and contribute to jazz, but that you have to recognize its origins and where it was popularized. Everyone knows jazz comes from blues, and everyone knows blues originated from black musicians. I don't see anyone in this thread saying that they invented twelve tone equal tempered music and the concept of harmony, go to a ANY library and read ANY book on jazz and they'll tell you its origins. The syncopated rhythms of jazz cannot be found in Western classical (which I also love) anyways. All that aside, the history is the history, and liberal or not, whether I exist at all or not, the history is still there and hasn't changed, well studied and well documented by people you are never going to read, and Miles Davis's words about race and the origins of jazz are still there too. If your point was that black people didn't invent jazz because they're using Western instrument and a Western system, that's like saying America didn't invent the cheeseburger because the grill, the meat, the cheese, and bread were already invented. Sure, they might've, but its the total recontextualization that makes it new. Ironically, as is once again well documented, white scholars of music wrote that jazz music was amusical, grotesque, and artistically worthless at the time that it first became popular, often citing its rejection of the harmonic stylings of people like Mozart and especially Bach. No one here said anyone can or can't play it or even that anyone owns it, but facts are facts.

Theory... The Minor Pentatonic Scale leaves 2 notes out of the Major Scale. "That" is what makes it work with other "Modes" so well. I "think" maybe he may have been talking about those. Otherwise you have to be very careful where and how you use them to stay "Modally" correct. Sometimes you can include them and sometimes not, depending on the tune. One example of that is the song "Little Wing" - Jimi Hendrix. If you include the "Butter Notes", you MUST change "Modes" with the chord changes and if you don't it sounds funny. Maybe?

This is really pissing me off. I've been incredibly frustrated since I watched this video. I believe my playing may be 40% butter notes. I have no idea how to stop without spending more time than I have. But all I can hear now is butter notes. 35 years I haven't really cared all that much...now it's all I hear. Thanks Herbie!

If you watch Herbies award winning performance of a song for you, I like to think the message was passed on to Christina Aguilera, because he subtly plays cords and runs that gave her less opportunities to oversinging the song as she normally does and made it one of her best performances. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSnlWaGir-ontU

They cut this short. I've heard the rest of this story and, like many of the jokes here in the comment section, that isn't actually what Miles said. Miles leaned over just before Herbie's solo and whispered "Don't play the bottom notes." He learned that later that night but the revelation was already there and Hancock attributes the way he plays now to that misunderstanding.

.. butter goes to the trumpet, but bread to the piano.

I'd like to hear more precisely what that sounded like.

Based on my breakfast, the butter is right in the middle of my bread.

Deductive reasoning, by Jose, I think he’s got it! But seriously, I’m trying to think of who’s ever given me any good advice and I can’t really think of anyone. Or, expanding the term, advice, into a practical nonverbal sense, advice, has come to in terms of good job opportunities: from learning to be a real barista to learning the ins and outs of the grocery business. Nowadays, though, I’m grappling with a transition from an out-of-work worker to an entrepreneur and business leader - while it isn’t actually overwhelming, it does feel entirely like a lonely world. It’s a tedium, I’m in - will I bite the dust or will I eventually get my proposal out to enough eyeballs and ears for flint to crackle a brush? I’ve been ready to bite it since 2012...
