Super killing.... but most importantly... they look like they're having fun... Can't count how many killin major jazz acts I've seen that look like they're sitting in a 9-5 job when they're playing
Yea, which is the main reason why I don't care about going to Jazz events or performances much. I've rather see a Funk band any day of the week. That's a damn party!
"WOULD BE BLOWN AWAY?????!!!!!!"...poor idiot....CLEAN YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT BIRD,TRANE & c...YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT JAZZ LIKE ME IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS.
The way hekselman and ladin hold back/play just simply enough when the groove breaks out into the loose funk feel... Textbook example of not overplaying, and the awesomeness that can come of it.
Wow, Ari Hoenig really incorporates the melody into his playing in such a unique way. It’s awesome to watch these gifted musicians having fun while playing such complicated stuff! Great video.
Hard work and dedication, those two and those two alone will set you on the path of greatness - Parker, who wrote this number, was notorious for practicing up to 10 hours a day during his rise to prominence and throughout his prime. Of course, very few have enough stamina to last 10 hours a day, but just practice practice practice as much as you can, listen to as much jazz as you can, play in as many jam sessions as you can and simply aspire to breathe music. It won't all be fun and games, I can guarantee you that (in fact most of the time you'll feel like complete shit and want to give up), but the result when you play in jams and for fun with other musicians is the most rewarding thing on earth :) Just keep a persistent mindset, and maybe you'll find yourself one day in Smalls like Hoenig here.
Thank you so much guys. I am a burklee student for guitar principal. Since I got here I've been practicing 8 hours a day. My former teacher saids I should have a blind faith. That is kind of a mind set I got right now. But really I started to play guitar at 19..many people including my parent said I'm too late. But who knows. Anyway Your words meant so much to me and yeah no one gets these kind of skills for free.
Total epic Jazz club experience. Great playing and swinging by all. Wish I could have been at this gig. These guys gel and get along so musically, reading each other's thoughts at the blink of an eye. Hope Canopus Drums gives Ari those drums, he makes them sing! Nice ride cymbal on Ari's right. This is great stuff.
Awesome interpretation of this great tune! This alternating improvisation was really incredible and Hoenig is very melodic in his playing. 7:35 Quote of Four (Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson) and unexpected quote of In The Hall of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg) by Hoenig at 0:15.
How in the world do you count that section between 4:33 and 4:58? Sure, I can just count "1-2-3-4" and stay in time, but I can't imagine building rhythmically like that while staying perfectly in time.
nope i liked it much better how he did it. if he had a second locked off camera and someone to cut it live for him then it would be perfect. shame I'm not in town ;-)
