Milt Jackson on Bag's Groove - the FIRST jazz vibraphone solo you should learn!

[@dariam3106]

My lesson teacher had me learn this solo and I cannot describe how much it has helped me as a musician!

[@charliebarredafriends61]

Thank you for the video analyzing the solo. And thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cal Tjader and Milt Jackson were my heroes, when as a student I got interested in playing Vibes. I went to see Milt Jackson and Ray Brown at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco, a very intimate Jazz club and I was blown away by Milt's playing - great music and great solos coming out effortlessly through his mallets - non stop!!

Oh I’m going to try this later! Thanks!

This is awesome, Milt Jackson is one of my favorite vibes players of all time! Another song i recommend if you all like this solo is the Modern Jazz Quartet, Softly as a Morning Sunrise! It’s my favorite song, and you all will probably like it as well!

this really helped me as a classical percussion start to understand an approach to jazz solo analysis. i love the visual overhead, incorporation of singing, playing yourself, and audio recording! thanks

[@zacharyhadley2156]

I really like that suspended 4th-maj 3rd in Milt's line at the end of the 2nd chorus for some reason-a natural way to signify the resolution of both the chord and the chorus itself I guess. Sometimes its the simple things that stand out in many ways! Thanks for your continuing contribution to jazz education, Tim!

There are so many little details like that that I love too! So much information packed into relatively few notes.

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Very brilliant Mr. Collins. ❤

[@aquahbeale3289]

What a treasure. I've had that solo memorized by never analyzed. Thank You.

Perfect. Thanks Tim

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Love it, thanks Tim!

What the fuck. Open Studio needs to step up their game. This is really good. You are so in to music

[@BillTscherno]

Großartig, Tim. Milt Jackson, und natürlich auch Lionel Hampton, waren auch meine ersten Wahrnehmungen des Instruments Vibraphone, zu der Zeit spielte ich noch Drums. Als ich später zum Vibraphon wechselte, da war ich immerhin schon 22 Jahre alt, wurde aber Bobby Hutcherson mein großer Held.^^ Aber natürlich habe ich mich auch sehr viel mit Milt Jackson beschäftigt, mit seiner unglaublichen Phrasierung und seiner Time ... ein Meister. Ach, ich hatte das große Glück und Vergnügen zwei anderen Meistern mein Instrument auszuleihen, Gary Burton (2007) und Stefon Harris (2016) spielten auf meinem Instrument als sie jeweils hier mit der WDR Big Band unterwegs waren und Aufnahmen machten. Ich werde mein Vibraphon wohl mit ins Grab nehmen.^^ :-) Liebe Grüße Tom

your videos are pure gold

[@yeet4837]

Great video

[@balaganinalex]

Thanks a lot! It's perfect!

[@cannolivibraphone]

Crazy timing man. I was assigned to transcribe and learn this solo this semester here at UNT. I love the lines where he includes the 4th resolving to the 3rd

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Haha- well, you should still learn the other 8 choruses too :)

[@cannolivibraphone]

@@TimCollinsVibes oh don’t worry I did. It took a long time to write out lol

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Now play it in all keys! :)

[@cannolivibraphone]

@@TimCollinsVibes ah you got me

[@mer1red]

Very nice solo. Contains a lot of elements that have become standard part of the jazz language. I'm not a vibraphone player, but I'll have a closer look at it on my guitar.

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Milt started playing with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker in 1945, so the influence of their bebop language is very strong.

[@impeter3719]

cool, friendly vibe *cough* with the cat and all, cheers

[@julienvanlindt]

thanks!

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Tom, who were your main teachers on drums and vibes ? Another knockout video !

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Actually my main teacher for jazz in college was Steve Brown at Ithaca College - he’s a guitarist. After that I studied with Joe Locke at MSM.

[@dariomulonia3480]

ahahahhah thank TOM ahahaah

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

@@TimCollinsVibes Steve Brown was also Fred Beato’s teacher .
