I was backing up a trumpet player at a bebop gig and the guy walks out on stage and says Donna In G and counts it off at this tempo. This guy is a good off shoot of Phil Woods.

Bird was a genius and was so young when he died. If he would of only lived a cleaner life , he would of lived much longer and would of surely taken jazz to even more heights. For a hundred years we have studied Bird at every angle. We need more geniuses like him to take jazz to new heights before it dies out.

[@Thouveninpascal]

@@rinahall Je ne connaissais pas ce disque de Shepp, et je n'en connais pas des tonnes non plus, n'étant pas très fan du bonhomme. Il joue Donna Lee en Réb, ce qui lui permet de garder le doigtés du ténor.. Il massacre correctement le thème, et fait du "Shepp" dans son solo, avec une rythmique qui accélère monstrueusement. Un "débutant", sûrement pas, parce qu'il possède une culture "Jazz" évidente. Pour le phrasé, on voit bien qu'il vient du "Free", il joue tout lié, sans phrasé effectivement. Mais ça, c'est typique est solistes avant et après le "Free", ceux d'avant détestaient jouer free, et les autres ne savaient pas phraser "bop", à de très rares exceptions près comme Coltrane, ou Foster. Un disque pour fan de Shepp, mais pas du bop.

Les meilleurs c’est Herbin il a plus de style que Stephano Di batista et qui a plus de rythme, de phrase, de technique. Mais di batista est loins d’être mauvais il est juste moins bon mais il reste assez fort. Alors que Herbin c’est un monstre.

C'est pas la même génération , HERBIN est certainement un monstre de technique et de créativité et à encore une marge de progression devant lui ! Di BATISTA à eu ses heures de gloires , il à compris que c'est plus lui le patron ! mais c'est pas grave la musique est à tout le monde et un jour arrivera un jeune saxophoniste qui va détrôner HERBIN ! ce sont des cycles , c'est la vie !

Il pense que kenny garret lui bien superieur . Qui de Potter , Frahm , herbin créera une rupture qui changera le cours de l histoire , peut etre aucun , cela pourrait venir d un bien moins doté techniquement !

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

@@liamcharles506 I mean all of jazz. It's so american and kitsch. It's just a matter of feeling, can't pinpoint an element.

[@yagalamaga]

Thingaloo I agree with your very unpopular statement (Amongst the musicians I know). “Jazz” musicians have an enormous knowledge of music theory in comparison to other “classical” musicians or musicians that lay their knowledge on more contemporary musical phenomenons - but in the same type they tend to not exploit the emotional potential of musicianship and tend to repeat very fixed and sometimes tedious and boring paradigms.... But I wouldn’t say it is all “Jazz” musicians. For example Joshua Redman tends to break the melody-solo-melody paradigm and tried to mix between the spontaneous feeling of music with the complexity usually achieved with written music, he reaches to the point you don’t know what is what and everything is very unexpected and taken in the moment. You can hear that very much in his work with “the bad plus”. Another very good one is Alex Hahn, he also mixes between written and spontaneous music but in his case the difference is less vague in exchange to very complex orchestration (in his album from 2017 I’m not sure what’s the title but he is very young and doesn’t have many albums). Take a listen there are amazing stuff going around, and also Baptist Herbin I think is amazing but I understand what you mean and I think he might partially agree. That’s what musicians do, they try to learn and expand both their knowledge and collective knowledge, oftentimes falling into “kitsch” or mainly ability performances.

[@michaelsilver8527]

@@yagalamaga Tedious and boring paradigms. Your choice of words is what's tedious and boring. Neither you nor your idiot friend Thingaloo appreciate jazz. If you can't see that these two cats are modern day monsters pity on you.
