I saw Dave playing last night with some of his New England Conservatory students- recital. It was free, and GREAT. Thanks for carrying on with the light of your art Dave.
@@tritonesub1 In my opinion A triad works because first chord can be thought like an Eb/F (Fsus9) and A is the tritone of Eb! Other thing, A resolve on Bb7, it's a chromatic passage chord... :)
I've never heard a track slow down so much and swing so hard at the same time! Listen to the tempo at 1:55 compared to even the beginning of Barron's solo
Without the high-frequency tempo assertion of cymbals, if a bass player tries to keep the tempo solid against another musician's laid back phrasing they always sound like they're rushing. In my experience, it sounds better to let the thing slow down rather than wreck the music with constant, non-resolving rhythmic tension.
@@bass27check Agreed. As a bass player who always got yelled at for letting the tempo dip under for exactly these reasons, I learned to find the pocket wherever it ended up. The people who want you playing on top of the beat are usually never the ones who are going to hire you anyway.
And man, it wasn't really until almost 8 minutes in the song where they started getting full-grease on it. Kenny played some stuff that shouldn't be allowed, but he did anyway, haha
The difference in ability is clear. If this were an anonymous radio broadcast, it would probably be described as a performance between a master and his student.
i think right there he played a fourths things going down in minor thirds and then went into a love supreme type quote that goes up in fourths/ down whole steps
izziOnBass No, I understand it's very much a standard double bass but with a smaller lower body for travelling purposes. As Holland always plays with amplification, volume from the instrument itself is not essential.
Dave's left hand technique, his thump position, is not very orthodox. It's surprising that he achieves so much speed, it looks like the hand of a bass guitarist that never mastered the transition to the upright. It comes to show that technique for this people is not the ultimate standard, despite appearances.
Yeah, that’s actually one.of the things I love about Kenny Barron. He sounds chill even if he’s playing faster tempos. One has to know precisely where the beat is to lay back like that. Kenny is always in the pocket sounding effortless and never rushed.
