Human Nature is one of Michael Jackson's songs in the album, Thriller. It was released on July 3, 1983 and recorded on November 1982. This song was written by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis and was produced by Quincy Jones. 3:33 “Human Nature” was written by Toto’s keyboardist Steve Porcaro, the son of a jazz musician who idolized Davis. He was understandably honored that his dad’s hero chose to cover his work along with Cyndi Lauper’s “Time after Time,” on 1985’s You’re Under Arrest, one of the prolific artist’s final albums.

It's what you feel inside that contributes to the best music and how to express it, not technique..
@UkuleleAversion8 жыл бұрын
True, great music is often the expression of a musician's "inside" but technique and other factors can't be discounted. Because after all, I'm a pianist and I want to express my identity in my music but I can't convincingly express this anywhere near as well as Keith Jarrett for example. Why? It's because he has the tools to fulfil this expression on his instrument and this is rather unfortunately due to the truth that we can't naturally express music well, because music isn't natural. It's the result of years of work on intellectual, creative, technical and personal aspects of developing a musical identity. Otherwise, I agree.

There are a handful of young, creative pianists that just amaze every time-Brad Meldhau and Vijay Iyer are two of the best. The first time I heard "Blood Sutra" my mind just melted, almost a mystical experience. Vijay has become more melodic, but I still love it. And the piano was his second instrument!

Cecil Taylor is also very melodic and very structured. You have to wonder why so many musicians site Cecil Taylor as an influence - it's because his music isn't just "out" to be "out". there is usually a purpose for it, if you can listen long enough.

@daleburt2020 I think in part you're feeling how they've changed the rhythm: in the original, the bass often breaks up 8 beats as 3+3+2. Here, Vijay they're breaking 13 up as 5+5+3. It doesn't feel that weird because 5/3=1.6666 isn't that far from 3/2=1.5. They play the same trick in their cover of Mystic brew, replacing 3+5 with 5+8, and then 8+13. In the writing section of Vijay's webpage there's an essay "Strenght in Numbers" explaining this method in connection with Fibonacci numbers.
@FinlayStafford6 жыл бұрын
I hear it as a lumpy 12/8, 3+3+4+3, with a little push on the 3rd beat. The drums leave the "backbeat" in most of the time which helps it sound this way.

From Louis and Bing to Art Tatum and Hank Mobley, jazz and the American Popular Song have been 2 unique arts intertwined as one--a symbiotic relationship. Without one--Berlin, Kern, Gershwin, Rodgers, Duke, Porter, the blues--jazz would have not have had a "message" for its skilled messengers to deliver; but it was also that message that led the aforementioned composers to create The Great American Songbook, a body of original indigenous music that draws throughout on the harmonic and rhythmic inventions of soulful pyrotechnicians like Hawk, Tatum, Bird, Diz, Trane, Bill Evans. If you want to learn to play jazz, lean the American "classics"--the songbook mastered by Tatum and late developed by Coltrane and Bill. Only then, does it become possible to pick up where Bird and Diz left off, matriculating in the school of bebop that is the only important graduate "degree" for any modern jazz musician. That's the "soul "of jazz and American popular music. But the heartbeat of meaningful improvisation is "swing". Subtle and flowing as the human pulse, a walking 4/4 bass that at once lifts the music and galvanizes its players--the only "beat" that has produced meaningful extemporaneous improvisation--lyrical melodies that aspire to be creative art." Most people remain clueless about this music. Start with Paul Gonsalves' 28 choruses (Ellington at Newport 1956.)

It doesn't matter how many ways you cut up the metronomic pie (trumpeter Don Ellis came up with every conceivable time signature on his '60s and '70s recordings). What matters most is the emotional impact on the listener. The audio with this video is actually well recorded. What's lacking is the sonorities possible with a better instrument (like a Steinway or Bosendorfer?) and a pianist who's moved beyond the limitations of flat-fingering to a touch generated from powerful shoulders.

The natural inclination is to count it in 4, akin to 12 / 8. You'll notice that your counting gets to the next measure prior to the music, hence the 13 rather than 12. Try to count eighth notes (listen to Vijay's playing around :38 - steady eighth notes). To me, the pattern that sounds/feels right is 3 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 13 / 8. Hope this helps!
