That is New Orleans...and the fact that all the Marsalis family explores all types of music. I think it is awesome, I would love if somehow things like this could open the door to a duo session talking about how they go through the process.

I’ve been wanting to work on Tangerine, so just yesterday I listened to Stan Getz. His turnaround at the end of the head is so sublime, it’s just wonderful. While I don’t have the time or ability to transcribe his whole solo, I can learn that phrase and try that as a jumping off point for developing my own ideas. There’s a real sense of excitement that comes with getting hooked on the line. You convey that very well. Thanks for sharing.

the english vocabulary that you utilize to get the concept of the technical reference in question across, is perfect. it immediately sticks and documents itself comprehensively into my mind. This is something that really stiands out and I truly appreciate about all your videos. Musicians of any level can grasp the subtle nuances that you flesh out and explain, and even if I dont comprehend a concept, i can at least vicariously geek out on the sound of it lol

You are the instrument! Great way to put it. I had a trombone teacher who told me to think of the bell as my mouth, not separate from me, but a part of me. Great video. I have that CD and haven't listened to it in a long time. Thanks for sharing!

I agree, you can’t swing too much however it would be hard to swing more than these guys! I got to play with Herlan Riley briefly 30 years ago-still remembering the great swing of his playing’

Took me literally decades to "learn how to listen". As you (probably), I used to spend the majority of my time just listening to the saxophone player, whether it was 'Trane, Stitt, Grossman.....whoever. We all need to do that but I've since found there was SO much I missed. About 5 yrs. ago I literally almost drove off the road when listening to Sonny Stitt play a medium swing tune. For the first time I realized how STRAIGHT he played his 8ths....like bone straight....and how much he articulated (literally tonguing every 8th note). It honestly made me hit the shoulder of the road because I was dope slapping myself as to how in the hell I *never* noticed that. Especially since I'd been listening to him for for about 30 freaking yrs. Same with 'Trane, Rollins, Mobley, etc. Those guys ALL played very straight 8ths a LOT of the time. Rhythm section swinging their d***s off and Sonny blowing straight 8ths. Who'da thunk? Rant off. ;-)

Bingo. George Garzone first opened my eyes/ears to that. If you want to swing, play your 8th notes straight, but slightly behind the beat. (caveat being as tempos slow down that becomes less true for single-time lines). Drive safe! :)

Nuggets, Bob! Your videos always give me nuggets to practice and to live by. This time it was sympathetic goose bumps, as well. Simplicity sometimes wins over complexity. There is nothing like a small in-the-pocket rhythm section. For me, it’s a horn player’s dream. And, yeah, a single A on the way out leaves listeners wanting more. That’s what it’s about. Thanks and may the new year treat you well.

I now have a new perspective. I am sorry for the YT issues. Grrrrr. What you do is so important to the music! I go out and purchase much of what people like you talk about. You are providing free advertising! Crazy. OK back to the video - Great stuff, Bob. It is so helpful to hear what triggers you about certain music and how you hear it, etc. I learn so much from you.

I think the truncated form/solos works great for live settings! gives a chance to connect with the audience more and create time for more tunes. Also being an overthinker, its good that the audience doesn't hear me solo every tune. Sometimes my best contribution is the interpretation of the head.

Thank you. Your enthusiasm and insight has changed the way I practice. We are often told to listen to the greats but almost never told HOW to listen . I've spent far too much time working on the mechanics of a machine ( sax ) whereas now I am focusing more on developing the musician inside of me. Good stuff. Keep it up

In my later years(not a pro or old😂) I have been paying more attention to the little details as well. My early years of jazz consisted of Grover Washington, Najee, Kenny G...you get the point. What I immediately noticed is a hauntingly romantic sound in the chorus similar to the feeling in Ben Webster's Tenderly. 2 completely different time feels but just shows the bridge when you start 'listening'! Thanks for the upload sir. I love your content and glad I discovered you on this second half of my jazz journey.

Hey, Dave here 👋 what I got was a USB CD drive, I rip CDs to mp3s then load those onto a thumb drive for the car. Not sure how that approach will work for rewinding for you, but it's nice for listening, like CD changers used to be.

Herlin Riley is both a walking museum of music as well as a force of nature so kinetic that he swings himself into the future--he is never static. Just listening to him play the tambourine is masterclass in it of itself, am I right? The question of swing feel and rhythmic precision gets me both excited and frustrated. There is so much out there if you want to explore improvisation--actually, there's too much. Formulas for scales, substitutions for harmony, and step by step processes with etudes galore. But whenever the conversation turns to swing feel, the answer seems to be "just listen." I wish that we had the opposite in jazz ed--and that the REAL foundation of this music got it's due--RHYTHM and PULSE. I've been studying a lot of Mike Longo and Barry Harris as of late, and there's plenty of cross over. Both seem to suggest that jazz time is not something that can be written down. Rather, swing feel is a result of polyrhythmic layering. Barry used to talk about feeling that 6:4 (3:2 polyrhythm doubled for the whole measure of 4/4) when playing a ballad, or the 3:4 feel with uptempo tunes. Mike Longo went even further with translating all that he learned from Dizzy Gillespie. Glad to see more material about deep listening and swing feel. I'm just hoping that Jazz Ed gets the hint, and starts leaning more towards the rhythmic side of the music.

Hey, I’m sure you can dispute any copyright claims and state fair use. The content gets automatically flagged, and legally speaking you are in the right, so youtube SHOULD remonetize the video. KZbin’s copyright system is kinda broken though… Great video as always!
