Jazz Violin Solo - "Sunny Side of The Street"

[@lvbmv]

I thought it would be real hard to get the transcription without paying something. Two clicks and I got it. Liked, subscribed, and I'm now a fan. Thank you for kindly offering that :)

[@magicfiddle]

You are welcome! Cheers!

[@franklarge1663]

Listen to this again, 3 years later… such an amazing solo, with so many harmonic and rhythmic variety while still in the grove. Love it.

[@magicfiddle]

Cheers! I appreciate it!

[@boreale72]

you are freaking living this piece, it's amazing to watch you playing!

[@magicfiddle]

Me too, one of my all time favorites! Thanks!

[@nskimharris]

TRILLY DOUBLE STOPS!!

[@jennipark6107]

Gorgeous!!!! Been listening to various versions of this song for violin on KZbin for my son to learn… this is the one! Soooo beautiful! I think he will love it!

[@magicfiddle]

Thanks! I appreciate it =)

[@colliedogboy]

I love the dark, rich tone of these gypsy jazz fiddles. They don't cut your eardrums out like some bluegrass fiddles do.

[@davivify]

Some fiddlers use steel strings, which can sound harsh. So glad this one doesn't.

[@PatarTheGreat123]

What strings give this sound? I'm looking for this quality

[@unterwasserbeatboxer]

Yes!

[@guitarmeetsscience]

Sounds fantastic - this has a gypsy jazz feel. Bravo!!!!!

[@acrossthestarsoftheunivers5525]

I'd like to see that go longer, because you got in the pocket right at the end. You are great!

Awsome violin🎻👍

[@magicfiddle]

Thanks!

[@vetzrah4437]

What’s the secret to that warm clean tone?

[@magicfiddle]

Thanks! A combination of lots of practice and an instrument/bow that has the potential to bring out that voice. My goal is always a deep but clean tone that has a touch of sweetness. Practicing a lot of Bach helps too!

[@vetzrah4437]

@@magicfiddle ah yes, I can see why Bach would help because it needs to be played with a clear ringing tone throughout.

[@magicfiddle]

@@vetzrah4437 Definitely!

Well I'll be darned., heck, I wish I could play like you. I can barely play Canon in D with accidently crossing onto the wrong string. But hey, practice makes perfect. One day, maybe after a few years, I'd like to try this piece!

[@magicfiddle]

You got this!! 👍🎻

[@hamwhacker]

Beautiful playing. You are a jazz diamond! Love everything you do, so creative and well executed, flowing through innovative bowing articulations, rhythms, double stops swinging as you go. Respect … I wish I could play like that. Grapelli would be happy to hand over his role to you!

[@yuribaghdasaryan1024]

my problem is that in my region this genre of music is not accepted in any way with this instrument. And that's why it's very hard to find sheet music.

[@natemidnight]

Jason was this a solo you worked out meticulously? It sure sounds like it as it is so beautifully composed.

[@magicfiddle]

This was just an improvised solo. I appreciate it! I had one of my students at the time transcribe it for this split screen video.

[@natemidnight]

@@magicfiddle Wow that is really inspiring to know. I hope to be able to improv like this. I love the melodies you weave and embellish that feel like Grappelli and the sort of bepop Charlie Parker liines like in bars 18 to 22. I'm going to try to learn this whole solo and I hope to be able to play something like this off the cuff. Love your channel and your playing.

[@magicfiddle]

@@natemidnight Means a lot, thank you! Grappelli and Charlie Parker are definitely big influences. If you have questions about anything I play, don't be afraid to ask. Happy to help!

[@tbjburdend9880]

Man absolutely beautiful I’m getting back into playing after about a year break (~8.5 years of playing) and I had a question. Is there a particular reason you stayed almost exclusively in the top third of the bow in many instances it made sense to but other instances my teacher instructed me on this piece to use more now especially more of the middle and a few instances down by the frog which I didn’t see at all in your rendition and I was curious as to why if it was an artistic choice, preference, or just an unconscious choice. Not a criticism as like I said I loved it and it was beautifully played and immediately added to my playlist of renditions of my favorites but I was curious. Thanks. ❤

[@magicfiddle]

Great question! I prefer the upper half for jazz. Easier to control, play more laid back, create subtle accents and ghost notes. Also, I prefer the tone!

[@tbjburdend9880]

@@magicfiddleappreciate the feedback and I completely understand that reasoning I just love the projection and subtleties that I can get using more of the bow. Beautiful work, I found your channel the other day and have been scrolling through and watching and listening to all I can 😂 Thanks again

Спасибо большое! В какой программе вы писали ноты?

[@magicfiddle]

Thanks! I paired the video with the PDF file in Final cut Pro

[@hizaleus]

What is the reason that you mostly bow near the tip?

[@magicfiddle]

It's my preferred area for jazz/swing. Easier to be rhythmic, create ghost notes, add more "air" to the sound.

[@hizaleus]

@@magicfiddle Thank you for answering. Bowing is my weakpoint. I notice that many excellent players (e.g. Hillary Hahn) "break the rules" that we are all taught.

[@magicfiddle]

@@hizaleus The key is to get in control of each part of the bow and understand what each area does for you (tone, control, rhythmic variability, etc). When I switch into a classical mode, I play a lot more in the center and use full bows.
