Jazz Arranger Analyzes Domi & JD Beck 

JD Beck grew up in Dallas. He started playing out in clubs when he was still a kid, and of course you couldn't help noticing how he was KILLING it. His mom carted him around, and facilitated getting him out there. Players around town always kept an eye out for him wherever he was. He was very much adopted by the jazz/music community. He was playing pretty much like this when he was twelve!! Everybody knew he'd have no limits. He was a bright light, a really sweet guy who radiated good vibes. It's great to see he and Domi recognized for their cool thing.

thank God is not a reaction video but someone really knowledgeable analyzing.

Your discussion of the hybrid chords at 4:25 is pure gold. Thank you.

I'm not an arranger, just a hack drummer, but I heard what this dude is talking about immediately, Chick chords, towels on the snare, a connection to the past but totally fresh and new. Yes, everybody stands on shoulders but these two blew me away; I have wanted to be blown away by younger jazz musicians (a relative term) but it wasn't happening, so nice to find I don't have a bias after all. JD is the only young drummer I have heard who is pushing the marble forward, for me he's already there with Sanchez and Blade (my #1 and 2); can't imagine what he will become. The best thing of all is that Domi and JD are connecting my generation and one in between with kids the age I was the first time I saw Miles. Warms my heart and gives me optimism about the future of jazz as I understand it. If you are a young jazz musician, here's your model.

You’re like an encyclopedia I can’t believe you made some of those connections. Amazing

i love jd and domi. i remember jd saying at one point he specifically was inspired to go as dry as possible from listening to getz. it really highlights how intricate his playing is.

Ask your daughter to send you more suggestions bc this video is on the algorithm and your content is excellent quality.

Domi is ridiculously brilliant. She's so young and yet she's already on the level with some of the greatest jazz keys players of all time. It's crazy.

I saw JD and Domi when they opened for Polyphia. It wasn’t everyone’s vibe, but being a musician myself, I really appreciated their craft. They are both extremely prodigious creators and it’s clear they put their time in.

I hear the NOT TIGHT debut álbum by this kids and I can't believe it. In this music I can feel Chick Corea, I can feel John McLaughling, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Billy Cobham and so many others that I can't believe they had enough time to assimilate all tis music at their short age, they got it in their DNA, it's the only explanation!

It's crazy how so much analysis can be done on such a small excerpt of music. Really glad to see you highlighting such good content!!

i absolutely love their debut studio album. theres some great tunes, amazing arrangement and production, but for some reason there is just something missing from the studio recordings. i always find myself gravitating towards their live performances when i want to listen to them, there is just something indescribable about the chemistry between the two of them playing live.

Glad you took the time to offer this analysis. Turned onto these musicians by a relative, they're sensational in my view. Highly polyrythmic and harmonically rich. Especially like the lightness and agility of the drummer.

thanks Adi, I appreciate the speed at which you go deep into music and the minimal editing!

Thank you for this, Adi! I try to glean every little bit of sound music advice I can find. With yours, I found a gold nugget. I’m subscribing.

Yay! I’ve been waiting for your update 😍

Amazing analysis. Thank you!

I loved the breakdown, it helps me to HEAR what these different techniques sound like after the technical explanation. The graphics also help and are done so well. Thanks!

been following your videos for approx. 2 years now and I've learned so much from them. You deserve many more views tho. Thank you Adi for sharing your knowledge

So many insights in this video! Much thanks!

Thank you Adi! This was very well laid out, and a great choice of subject matter. Toda raba!

Thanks for the great analysis (and transcription). I love trying to work these out or, at least, get an understanding of what is happening within the chords.

great learning content! thank you Adi!

Awesome analysis Maestro! thank you

Thank you so much. This has really given me such a deeper appreciation for them and it makes the idea of making something of this flavour seem more attainable. Sending me on lots of rabbit holes!

I love that you pointed out Steps ahead Pools! Eddie Gomez has some beautiful enchanting playing on there. I love that record and it makes sense that I also really dig the new Domi/JD Beck album. Great video thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Adi! That was awesome!

I feel so grateful that this video came up in my recommended. Thank you, Mr. Yeshaya.

Love your explanations! So easy to underatand pretty complex ideas

❤❤❤Ty for this video! Very knowledgeable indeed!

THANK YOU , SIR!!! ❤

Thanks for posting!! Great talk !!!

Some great analysis, thank you

So while they do have a relatively new sound, it's not something we haven't seen from cats like chris dave and robert glasper for example. The hip hop and breakbeat influenced stuff from the late 90s can be a blind spot for guys who solely do jazz sometimes. Hip hop had probably the largest influence on modern jazz of any musical movement in the past 20-30 years yet some jazz guys refuse to acknowledge it. Great vid!

They are absolutely fantastic

Great stuff!!! Thanks!!!

invaluable! thanks!

Great analysis!

Great stuff!

Glad the algorithm recommended this excellent video. Subscribed. Now on to check out Domi and Beck…

Fantastic video. So well communicated and super insightful!

Very pleasantly surprised to hear someone appreciating Grady Tate's work on the Sweet Rain LP! I was completely blown away by it when I first heard it probably 20 years ago! Thanks for that recollection, sir.

Nice. Just in time before I watch them live in Singapore.

I cannot understand most of this, but it's still amazing and beautiful that there's actual science in this.

Nice! just came across your video and subbed instantly :) Thanks

I heard this group for the first time last night. Their Coachella set was LIT! I downloaded the album immediately and I’ve been jamming all damn day!

increíble

awesome

I have always wodered what kind of chords Domi uses. They sound so cool and unique.

JD Beck’s drumming kind of got me into Jungle DnB but it’s not the same, he’s just so good

i am obsessed with your glasses, they look so damn good on you, absolute props

That was a lot of knowledge, thank you. Domi & JD Beck play here next month in the historic town of Winterthur/Switzerland, and the concert is for free..well!

you seem chill!

Great shout about Sweet Rain. I'm currently learning Chick's solo on Litha - a work in progress :)

You are amazing! I found out about them when I start watching ”Zildjian Live with Ghost-Note” Even though we are not drummers, I highly recommended it. These young kids are super talented. but you still are the best (or GOAT, nowadays😆)!

4:28 marvelous!

Not bad Adi, not bad. Subscribed!

Your remarks at the beginning regarding hybrid chords instantly took me back to my youth to the movie based on Inge's play "Picnic" and the film's love theme. If you are not familiar with the score there are lots of YT easmple. The score, also includes a classic version of "Moonglow"..........it's titled - Moonglow & Theme from "Picnic" - also on YT........
