The CHICKEN - performed by Floating Rate Notes ザ・チキンを３ピースバンドで演奏してみた

Tokyo based trio, Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) performing "The Chicken". This song was composed by Pee Wee Ellis and made famous by Jaco Pastorius. Jaco is one of our all time favorite musician.
Instead of we trade solo along with the form, Masa, the drummer and Makoto, the bassist did something little bit interesting. We trade solos by following the form but we decrease the number of measures that we play solos on as the song repeats. For the first time, we take 4 measures solo 2 times each. For the second time, we take 2 measures solo 4 times each. And the third/last time, we take 1 measure solo 6 time each. Do you get it? Try to figure it out.
This is a 3rd video of the "Let's Play Jazz Standard" series.
We are planning to upload a jazz tune every month.

----A brief story about this video series----
The music genre, Jazz is the mystery to many, at least it was to me. It was kind of hard to start playing and learning it all by myself. I studied it little bit when I was in school and my teacher changed my whole understanding about Jazz.
Back in the day, I used to think that Jazz has very strict rules. You have to play with a certain pattern on ride cymbal EVERY TIME or keep the left foot on 2 and 4 till DEATH. And if you get loud, you are FIRED!!!
Playing Jazz or any genre of music is not about playing patterns, its a lot deeper.
One day I asked my teacher,
"What is the most important rule about playing Jazz ?"
he replied,
"There are no rules about playing Jazz".
I couldn't fully understand what he really meant until later.
I believe we all should have our own version of playing "Jazz. How far to dig it is the choice of oneself.
To be honest, I am not a Jazz drummer. More like a rock drummer according to people whom I have played with.
But why couldn’t a rock drummer play Jazz? Who said he can't?
Interestingly, I get offered to do lots of Jazz gigs theses days.
I can't melt the venue down and get standing applause with my playing but I can play it though just fine.
So I decided to make a video series of my version of how to play Jazz for a drummers like me.
Let's face it, we will never be perfect. I don't think there is such a thing. But we still love and play music. Right?
Don't pull yourself back by saying, "Oh I'm not good enough yet".
Jump on it, try playing it. I'm sure you will find some fun.

普通にソロしても面白くないので、ベースとドラムがソロのトレードする時に、１週目はそれぞれ４小節づつ、２週目はそれぞれ２小節づつ、そして最後の３週目はそれぞれ１小節づつって感じでソロを回しています。完全に悪ふざけです。笑

Wonderfull guys Thanks a lot👍👍👍

[@francesco7587]

this cover is really nice, congratulations!

[@MasaTheMachine.]

Thanks a lot!

[@snowbird1962]

好きな曲なのでセッションでも演るので、とても勉強になりました。 コメント欄を見ると、上から目線で偉そうに言っている輩がいるけど、批判するなら自分の模範動画をアップしてほしいものです。

[@KMKanDrum]

Masa, very cool! This looks like so much fun! All three of you are wonderful musicians! Drums sound very good, brother! Have a wonderful day!

[@MasaTheMachine.]

Thank you my friend!!!

[@percyvolnar8010]

No. Pee Wee ellis wrote the tune and released it as a b-side to "The Popcorn" in 1969. Jaco did NOT write this tune.

[@tigerscott2966]

That's the way to do it!

[@MasaTheMachine.]

Thank you!!!

[@大塚良隆]

ノリが良く、楽しめました。

[@carlosmontoya7337]

Como siempre en Japón hay mucho talento

[@MasaTheMachine.]

Muchas gracias

[@田中敏郎-h4s]

カメラ割が、どの人の演奏に注目してよいかわかって、聞き易すかった。 こういう曲だと、みなカッコいい時あるから耳も目も忙しいから❗️(^^)

[@MasaTheMachine.]

それはよかったです！視聴いただき感謝です〜！

[@நான்எப்போதும்ஒருபையனைகனவு-ட3ள]

After all the guitar is a fender.!!!

[@EvilSean62]

i like a lot of it but it is relatively flat in dynamics ... maybe work there ... good though ..

[@カンタビーレフェルト]

ベースソロのフレーズ引き出しが無さ過ぎて笑える

[@の助ヒロ]

あなたのコメントが失礼すぎて笑えない。ベースはベースの役割をキチンと果たせば良いし、別にベースソロに重点を置く置かないは人それぞれと思います。

[@vagabond7883]

Great classic (Jaco Pastorius) song delivered perfectly! You guys are very talented and great musicians.

[@MasaTheMachine.]

Thank you very much! You are too kind!!!😭

[@percyvolnar8010]

Wrong. Written by Pee wee elis in 1969. You westerners are so critical of historical accuracy, but when a black person creates something, you seem to not care about history. lol.

[@R.T.2024]

グルーブ感がたまらんですね！ 演奏を眺めながらまったり飲んでいたいです。 Nice Play & Nice guys! 楽しい動画をありがとう！

[@MasaTheMachine.]

ありがとうございます😊

[@christimko9296]

3：08からのドラムソロパートはとても綺麗ですね。さすがプロ！Floating Rate Notesは私の業界用語では「変動利付債券」と言います..（そんな情報どうでもいいですが）（( ´∀｀ )..動画投稿以外にJAZZクラブ等でお客さんの前でやることは多いのでしょうか。これだけ実力者が集まっていればパフォーマーとしてもやっていけそうですが。とにかく素晴らしい！！+👍

[@MasaTheMachine.]

+urhottto45 変動利付債券、、、まさか業界の方だったとわ！笑 僕は全然その業界の事は知識がないのですが、floatingとnoteと言う単語で名前をつけようと思っていたらこの言葉に出逢いまして、時間が経つと利率が上がる場合もあるし下がる場合もある、と言う様な意味だったと思うのですが、今の俺たちの状況に何か当てはまるかもな！ なんて思ってこの名前にしました。笑 ジャズクラブとかではこのグループではまだ演奏した事ないですがそれぞれではちょこちょこあったりしますね。出たときはその動画もアップしてみようかな。 ありがとうございました😊

[@urhottto45]

こんばんは。バンド名の由来は理解しました。これから夏に向けて野外でのJAZZフェスなんかも開催されますね。私はハードロック専門ですが、たまにJAZZフェスを聞きに行ったりします。お客さんを前にすると、スタジオとはまた違ったGrooveも生まれると思います。何より楽しいですからネ。誰かの目に留まれば、またそこから、チャンスも広がりますし。....次回作期待してます。(^^♪

[@JasFlower67]

Interesting but I feel something is missing. The soul and finess. Techinically ok, but this is not enough.

[@MasaTheMachine.]

We will work on that! Thank you for watching though!!!

[@ytfvbkkgtd]

ギターがだいぶ走り気味なのね

[@きなた-u1l]

ジャパニーズのノリのチキンてつまらないですよ
