Avishai Cohen - 'Seven Seas' live (Jazz in Marciac, 2014) 

me too.

Me too

As a drummer also ill agree with you insofar as improvising a solo live under the pressure of lights and camera.but aside from that my instinct and preference leads me to play a solo with more gaps and spacing between phrases. This performance needs more a stream of note flow which while impressive lacks breath and air or even resolve. The bass solo in contrast shows odd meter control moreso. Ok, my criticism is flawed in that the drum solo should and ought be a different event from the bass solo that proceeds it. But my opinion is ultimately based on my own instinct for such a solo moment. I cannot help but hear the drummer playing more like the bass player with a performance that is free over the odd meter form but still always anchored to it by virtue of skillful knowledge and control of odd meter play. I'm not able to play better but my practice to this always ends in me trying to space phrasing with rest and pause at select I tervals while my ears are still hearing and following the odd meter form but not necessitated by a co stant note subdivision flurry of play chatter. That said though and to rejoin in my agreeing with your overall positive point on the drummer, his mid to uptempo swing comping to the piano solo in the odd meter is astounding for me and the part I cannot play at all and will take me probably a year to learn haha

Actually I've listened again and I've changed my mind. You are right. You see I skipped to the solo and entered a point near its end. His phrasing at the start of his solo is exactly what I wanted to hear from him and the end I caught was actually an appropriate climax to the solo as a whole. So, I'm happy to admit that I was wrong and that you are correct. Great drum solo. The way he builds into the finale is pristine.nim foolish I entered half way and thought that was the full thing. My mistake and sorry for criticising you. Glad I rewatched it after responding to you, sorry I hadn't watched without skipping in the first place. Habit I developed from youtube skimming. I take back my former comments to you, well assessed by you and I agree his solo phrasing at the beginning not his solo is exactly as you describe. I'm impressed and watching that part again consequently haha

Not really.

@@TheMaecki they didn't say they were literally part of the band, they do indeed contribute to the overall experience of the band. get a grip you smooth-brained fanny hahahahaha

Funny how people really start appreciating the music on their own when you don't tell them when not to clap... Also ​@Owen L calm down jeez

@@oscargill423 ?? dw bud i was fine, just like to match dismissiveness with dismissiveness. its all people like that understand, unfortunately. thanks for checking in tho! :D

@@oscargill423 also, what kind of music is it where they tell people when not to clap? cant say ive come across that myself!

actually the drummer is the most amazing part of the band

D'or!! Sensationnel ❣️

son enormes profesionales, a ese nivel no se tienen dudas, tocar en 4,5,6,7,13 lo hacen con la misma intención ,

Like they are taking a stroll down a shadowy lane in perfect step.

We all got something from Frank Zappa, FZ has the audacity to express it and face the world with it. Thank you Franck for your Courage and Resistance, and Thank you Avishai from a pure fan from Casablanca - Morocco

Maybe was "new swing" ?...

And the Pianist too!

+Stefan Sora Ivanovski even the greatest artist fail sometimes ....

+marcoviolinista98 is being lost a failure?

+William Barrett of course not, but the faces he made when he continued playing after avishai's solo were tremendous 😂. Excellent musicians

He was likely trying to see if he could comp in there, but Avishai is playing rubato, meaning free of a specified rhythm, so it wouldn't be possible to effectively comp. No mistake by either player, just a musical decision in the moment.

These guys are putting on a show. Of course they knew what was going on.

such a boss man

True story!

Ce n'est pas un violoncelle mais une contrebasse

Chutzpan right

Music is about flow not time signature. Bars are not that important to them

@@jifangzhang2832 You only get flow if everyone's rowing in rhe same direction at the same time. Bar lines have their purpose.

@@jifangzhang2832 you need to appreciate the time signatures. flow without direction is not a river.

Avaishai always gets amazing drummers...Mark Guiliana, Daniel Dor, Ziv Ravitz, all incredible!

Exact vu en live à Enghien .révélation
