Rob Scheps looks like a slimmer, tenor sax playin' Chris Christie. Great video!

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

+albertstroke Ha! He really does!

[@paxwallacejazz]

At 61 I figured out stfu and let their intuitions come on line. Speak only when necessary and then with utmost respect if possible. Drop your rigid expectations.

a rock guitarist plays 3 chords in front of 5000 people, a jazz guitarist plays 5000 chords in from of 3 people.

[@TheDoug2103]

@@bill3837 oh yes it is. go ahead, be a jazz guitarist. hope you have a nice bedroom.

[@BiggyJimbo]

@@TheDoug2103 Haha, having just finished a jazz degree, this is very true. I suppose it was fun, but mostly just a waste of 3 years. I'm going to try to find a more normal, better paying job now

Nice. 9 years ago. glad this video appeared. very intelligent, ....and familiar. thanks.

[@stormerc]

Thanks! It is still as relevant as it was when recorded.

[@maxwickens461]

Thank you so much for this it explained a lot to a person who loves jazz but was confused as to how it works . I appreciate you putting this on KZbin.

[@bill3837]

what kind of music do you understand how it works??

[@maxwickens461]

Bill, I understand classical music more because I have been taught a certain amount of music theory.

[@BrianRussick]

great intimate footage

[@reanimator9]

Great value here, thank you !

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Best vid EVER !!!

[@walterprince8462]

Music has become a plot center of ideas instead of jamming or swinging it’s becoming a hassle listening to these guys explaining jazz it’s working with a lot of planning instead of spontaneous creation.

[@milo8796]

Best line of the whole thing . Sax to drummer : “I don’t care what you play, but that shit has to be in the pocket!”

[@paxwallacejazz]

No you say that during break. That old school approach really doesn't work any longer.

[@AlamoCityCello]

I knew Rob Scheps back in the 80's. We both attended NEC. He's a crazy, wonderful musician!

[@stormerc]

I totally agree. Rob´s playing is underrated.

[@RanBlakePiano]

John Stuart He could imagine a full score visually

[@RanBlakePiano]

My best to both of you

[@juliojames4470]

I love them lection

[@sil3418]

I heard Corcovado by Tom Jobim at minute 15 ....wonderful!

[@paxwallacejazz]

Why Tom? Antonio Carlos? Is that a name his close friends used? Anyway I've seen Tom a lot did he change his name? Is that his Brother?

'without showing the seams all the time' well worded : )

[@RanBlakePiano]

Cameron ,you were at Columbia 1962 ?

[@stormerc]

Hi Ran - I do think Cam was at Columbia in 62! And I was at New England Conservatory 1980-84. I remember you very well. You took me to see Fritz Lang movies at Coolidge Corner. Stay safe. Warm regards from Norway.

[@billwhitlatch961]
