Jazz musicians like Mcoy and the band in the video never get enough credit for their skill. The technicality of improvising these lines is incredible. A classical musician has the luxury of knowing the notes he or she will play, a jazz musician has to be true enough and skilled enough to pull that off improvising. Jazz musicians don't get enough credit.
I agree Not a pianist here BUT (tbh) out of spite I learned one of Bach's 2 part inventions no13 in a minor (on piano). OK I do realize not the hardest piece to learn but its no beginners piece at the same time. I used to be able to play it fluently in time good feel. I honestly had no prior piano experience practically spealing. I knew where middle C was on the grand staff what a sharp and flat was etc I was able to learn it w out any outside help. It does involve counterpoint. I figured out allthe fingerings by myself. ANYWAY I learned it because I thought it sounded cool was challenging and not too long. But ALSO BECAUSE I WAS SICK OF THE SNOBBERY associated with classical music musicians etc I now know anyone can learn classical music because it is all written out for note for note. Jazz on the other hand relies on theory technique creativity and dialect. Much more involved than classical music. I always felt that way and wanted to prove it to myself. I feel it is true!
Blacks Innovated the music in numerous categories and that's why not popularized . Big Bands always had Black great rivals to white bands and these were viewed as threats to White power economically,religiously and otherwise due to intellectual global awakening appeals that defied white superiority plus feeling rarely expressed by other races as forcefully!
This tune kinda belongs together w/ 'Giant Steps' and 'Countdown' - very hard to solo coherently and smoothly over them, especially at those burning tempos. Been working on 'Giant Steps' for over a year - and that alone is one gargantuan task, but I'll getting there. These guys make it seem effortless.
lol....unreal. A favorite trane tune and eric harland solo is just plain ridiculous! Absolute stunning version...thanks for posting and thanks to the musicians.
This video should have a million views. Everyone in this group is ridiculous. Check out the rest of the songs on youtube from this concert if you haven't already, they're all worth your time. Great music! And Eric Harland ... GAAAH!! so good!
I usedt to be able to play this song. Soloing on it though, is VERY hard and Mccoy makes it look so easy. But also, if you don't play it for awhile, you tend to forget how it goes kind of quick (so you gotta keep up w it or else) - what a tragedy!
I'm noticing what he's doing during the vibraphonist's solo, beginning around 1:17. Eric Harland seems capable like no other drummer I've heard lately.
Seanan Gibbs yes very propulsive drummer but very sophisticated rounded sound I like how it blends into this wave lifting the soloist forward. Even his solo is an even and interesting lush carpet.
The whole band is amazing of course. Ive listened to lots of drummers, but never heard anything like Eric Harland....the emotion of his playing almost brought me to tears....His moved the bar....
@@jesseolsson1697 Oh me geez I am playing alot of solo piano here in Copenhagen but kinda out of the habit I probably need a tech helper at this point perhaps. Bro. Do I know you? Honestly I am more focused on trying for some kind of break through with my playing.
this is FABULOUS, ALL the musicians UK gig 2002 McCoy Tyner - piano; Bobby Hutcherson - vibes; Charnett Moffett - bass; Eric Harland - drums Thanks for posting
That groove he's got happenin' there (initially at 5:21), with the cymbal and the lone rim shot then the Tom, is so jazz!!! Delicate touch, quiets the whole thing down for a bit, and the way he uses the space between notes. Very expressive!
This tune is similar, you're correct. The big difference between this and Giant Steps/Countdown, though, is that GS and Countdown use the three-tonic system (Changes built on an augmented triad) whereas Moment's Notice uses the four-tonic system (Changes built on a diminished 7th chord). Personally, I find Moment's Notice a hundred times easier to solo on than Giant Steps or Countdown.
Just think, t.j., if only you were on the Internetz you could (within a few seconds) look up this word in something called a "search engine" and -- voilà! You'd know new shit that you didn't know! (Like perhaps, for instance, the technical use of the word "concatenation" in formal logic language and computer programming.) And just think further, you could do this all by yourself without having to involve anybody else!! This is known as "using your own resources to properly pursue interests that may be solely yours to pursue and not necessarily anybody else's concern." Here's a word-puzzler for you to try out this methodology: what does "caetextia" mean? Cheers.
I myself don't mind involving other people, doing things like asking question on internetz threads like this one. Gee you're smart. Have a day...cheers...
Tal como o chôro no Brazil, o jazz é a linguagem da excelência do improviso por natureza. O músico solta suas energias e faz o que pode e o que não pode. Magnífico.
IL ME SEMBLE QUE c'est un morceau de JC dans "Giant steps", tres beau ; allez voir "african village" de la même formation, où Charnet Moffet fait un solo mémorable
Really, really gotta miss the Hutch. At least he did hois thing. If ur a musician, or anything, do your thing, have fun, be criticized, have fun, don't care and die later. We'll see you there.
Yes! 7 years after you posted this, I was just noticing this. On McCoy's Supertrios album, they play the head the usual way, but during the solos they leave out a couple of measures in that section.
Whoever dislike this video apparently doesn’t know about these cats on stage my uncle Bobby was one of the greatest vibist ever in the history of jazz and McCoy Tyner Eric Harland and I can’t remember the bass players name but these were for the bad is cats in the industry of jazz soul to dislike this video is total disrespect I understand it’s your opinion but I think it’s just disrespect
