Most Copied Pianist In Jazz

[@edzielinski]

Gala. Smashed it. Crushed it. To me, this is a great example of Herbie's ability to unleash his creativity and spontaneity, yet keep it dialed in with the group. He's creating structures that are measures long and seamlessly weaving them into the changes, injecting references, and making it surprising, but also completely purposeful. It reminds me that it's critical to build a jazz vocabulary, a collection of phrases, rhythms and techniques, that is wide and deep enough that I could start connecting those dots without sounding like I'm searching.

Wonderful KZbin channel! Where else can you get such great musical knowledge and insights wrapped in such likeable banter!

[@cvealjr3811]

This is amazing - thank you, gentlemen. I remember reaching out to Mr. Carter to discuss his different basslines, specifically on the recordings from ESP and Nefertiti - he reached out to me and I missed the call because I was out with my (ex)wife. He left a message on my digital voicemail - that was erased within a week because there was no backup tape to save it. Moral of that story is be home when Ron Carter returns your call and marry the right person. Love what you guys do.

[@cademosley4886]

I remember the first time I studied Herbie and did some transcribing, his musical DNA was so infectious and got so worked into my fingers I was actually a little worried it might overtake my musical voice completely, and maybe it did for a while. I actually felt like I needed to do some work to process him and still keep my own voice. But one lesson here is that I wasn't alone in that! Of course the other way to look at it is that he raised the bar for everybody and set a new standard that was a service to the art & to us all. What a giant.

Love these analytical discussions! More like this, please

Herbie Hancocks - Cantaloupe Island was the first jazz tune I ever listened to. It was the entry towards this big world. It is always fun to go back to my favourite live concerts on youtube just to realise that this man is crazy on many levels. I view my progress in jazz on how LESS I understand each time I listen to him. I think its no exaggeration to say that he shifted Jazz in different levels. Like literally he is the stair. You can listen to any bebop tune and herbie's will stand out somehow. Of course Herbie is way more than bebop. He is like thousand flours that grow out of one in endless directions, sparkling around making this world a better place

[@moussavarolgil]

Same for me with Cantaloupe Island ✌🏼

[@Carlo24515]

16:44 Quincy Davis actually has a video breaking down this exact performance from Tony's perspective. Highly recommended.

[@joshbarron8961]

I hope you guys discuss Headhunters because that album was so influential for music in general. Nice vid!

[@nested_King]

Please remember-anything with Wayne is 1964. Wayne joined in September 1964. Tony is still 18, turning 19 that coming December. Wayne has just turned 31. Herbie had turned 24 earlier that year in April.

[@josephmartino9958]

My 9 year old ear heard all this great music back in '64 along with the Beatles...while the rest of me was still pumping out the last breaths on the 120 bass, imitating commercials and tv themes between lessons

[@mosstet]

Love this podcast - one thing I'd say is; having the digital keyboard visible for both your midi controllers, on the screen for us when you play, would be incredible. Really wanted to see the Herbie chords at 6:35. Think I got it though ;)

[@jazzyeric21]

And for me using the Rhodes patch just doesn't cut it. I love the Rhodes but when both are playing, the digital acoustic piano sounds SO much better and makes a much stronger statement. I honestly cringed a little each time the Rhodes patch was played lol.

[@bestaff]

As an aside from Herbie (whom I love and is one of the people that influenced my own playing)...I was touring in Germany/Europe in 2005 and 2006 and I swear almost EVERY German pianist there sounded like McCoy Tyner...like it was kinda comical.

[@erikvb5840]

Gentlemen...Always enjoy your analysis of music....Great example of Herbie Playing in and out at the same time!

[@SessionsWithMike]

Great podcast yet again. Hope to see Herbie in there later this year.

[@bertramblik8826]

I've been playing for 3 years and have known herbie's compositions for 15 years, but this is my introduction to Herbie's playing where it really spoke to me finally. (gala)

[@robcostigan8757]

I love that they focused on Herbie's rhythmic innovations. I agree with writer Martin Williams that a new era of jazz is one of rhythmic innovation.

[@toddrent37]

Peter and Adam...love your episodes. I am an adult learner who has spent most of my adult life thinking about and struggling to understand the concepts you both freely share. Thank you. Would love to have a countdown of your opinions on the best piano solos to transcribe for beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Thank you both and God Bless.

[@jacobseymour7221]

WOW, all through that I hear Kenny Kirkland on Black Codes From the Underground. Awesome solo.

[@paulmcphee1150]

GALA and also love the playing of his recent/current collaborator Lionel Loueke.

[@BrendaBoykin-qz5dj]

Thank you,Gents🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@toddhouston4523]

He is definitely one of the greats. He and the Maestro are both playing. I wish I could see them live.

[@larrybarkerpiano1]

Gala - agreed and adhered to. Thanks guys!

[@kencory2476]

On the other hand, at O.P.'s funeral, Herbie acknowledged Oscar Peterson's influence by saying that if he hadn't heard Oscar play, he would have wound up as just another electrical engineer. Regardless of your opinion of electrical engineers, you can hear Oscar's influence all through Herbie's playing. It's ultimately about the blues.

[@shields765]

Great episode! Compared to some of the other giants of his generation (McCoy, Keith, Chick, etc), I think HH's playing is a little less personal/idiosyncratic, and instead sits a little more inside the mainstream (although that's partly because he helped define the modern mainstream, of course). And this makes him especially fruitful for musicians to emulate, because in copying HH you're basically just copying the sounds of modern jazz piano at its best. As opposed to trying to copy McCoy, Keith, and so on, who sound so uniquely like themselves all the time that's it's harder to absorb their playing in a healthy way.

[@pianoman_JP]

Another great show, you guys are awesome!😂

[@PMsAMable]

I adhere to your Jazz GALA. Keep up the good work and... check out the greats at the other side of the Atlantic. EST? NHOP? Enrico Pieranunzi? Etc

[@alexpavchinski]

Does anyone know which recorded version of Autumn Leaves is transcribed on the Hal Leonard Herbie Hancock Collection (Artist Transcription Piano Series)?

[@jamesratner7889]

Herbie was so revolutionary and influential, because he heard the possibility for expanding the harmony of tunes while improvising, where the new harmonies fit into grand schemes he was setting up with his right hand. Nobody did this before him, and no one has done this better. And here is not repeating these great ideas. He just keeps spinning out new ones.

I'd argue McCoy Tyner, especially with Modern Jazz, but can't deny Herbie 👍

[@johnnyblue1101]

1963 with Miles “live” on the French Riviera was near the top. But 12 February 1964 at the live NY Philharmonic Hall concert (with the 2nd great Miles Davis quintet; the one with George Coleman on tenor) was THE TOP of his artistry. Peter is a better pianist than he is an historian.

[@nezkeys79]

Templayte makes way more sense than templet. If you remove the "tem" its just plate, which everyone says as playte lol. Nobody says plet Cant believe he argued templet is the correct way 😅

[@livejay9062]

Because that is the way people say it.

[@cademosley4886]

Useless dribble for the algorithm. 😎

[@pawsdude123]

Herbie is a monster among us. Do you think he was also influenced by Miles playing a well?

About the useless drivel: I used to skip to 3 minutes to get to content. Now I have to skip to 5 minutes apparently? Or later? Lol

[@yannytheman]

It's just mind blowing that any human can play music at this level at age 24. I can barely follow the form when they're improvising. Geniuses. All of them.

[@Matt-nv2qg]

as someone who's a drummer and played professionally for decades, Tony's right hand technique is actually not something you want. Freddie Grubber gave the approach that's best for natural and Jeff Hamilton cleared up the best pinch approach. Tony's is fine, but it's not "the pinnacle technique" Peter.
