Studio Jams #66 - "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise" 

@Cairo Kendall YOU sir are correct, no one gives and damn and we’re not exactly sure as to why the hell you went to a jazz jam session video and replied to a 5 year old comment with this. Good day!

Why not 450 minutes? :D

He's using a chorus device as did Jaco. I think that's what you mean.

Mike Clark of the Herbie Hancock group in the '70's....that's why!

That is “so” Jeff Berlin! 😆

Affordable too

Right? I love Jeff's playing.

Jeff had a trio with Richard Drexler (piano & upright bass) & Danny Gottlieb on drums.

C'mon dawg, he's not that old.

the whut?

Just a chorus pedal is all. And a lot of mid range with more bridge pick up than neck.

Check out Allan Holdsworth "Road Games" album.

To be precise they’re doing nothing to it because they just skipped it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

that was detailed, i hope it wasnt on android.

Dude, your'e a trip.

@@Jplent1 Well, it's a damn long trip then.

Reading PA.?

I sometimes feel like some Studio Jams mixes doesn't sound like jazz should. Ambient, soft and glued together is how it should sound in my opinion. It sounds very heavy and separate sometimes...

Someone's panned the bass Left and it sounds WEIRD!

This is no "should" in jazz. Or in music as a whole really.

Ambient? What jazz are you listening too?

That is exactly what my dumb ex-wife said whenever I listened to "Giant Steps" or "Birth of the Cool"

exactly

I need to add to my own comment. I hear an amazing harmonic feel of Jeff, but he is really off in terms of pulse (rhytm). We can see that his notorious statement about harm of playing with the metronome is not right :(

I think Jeff’s prior reputation has made him a target for all of the butthurt beta types who can only claim RU-vid as a source of validation. He’s a fine player, he’s paid his dues and earned his rights- he’s like that one professor in college that pissed everyone off with colorful versions of irrefutable truths- example ( from one of my experiences ): Dr Teacher : “ ok, musicians... and I use that term cautiously and loosely here..... today you’re going to take dictation, and compose a satisfactory rondo, within the guidelines on the board. If you cannot do this at this point, perhaps you should consider repeating the class next semester ....” The look of “ fuck this guy “ swept the room amongst slackers and anyone looking for an easy way out. The musician community at large needs guys like jeff- they represent a standard that is so absent in modern day musicianship training.

Wheelly: What are you doing? Sitting there listening to this with a click track while hoping he makes a miniscule rhythmic error? Settle down and just enjoy the music. I'm truly baffled as to why the metronome thing bothers you so much. Any dumbass can play with a freaking metronome and if they can't, the oughta quit playing. I'll speak for myself here: I don't use a metronome when I practice and yet by some miracle, I can play with a click, if needed, while recording. Shocking concept for you? There is a time and place for a metronome. I'd rather learn a piece properly, with the right notes, feel and the proper rhythm will come as the learning process develops. Btw...this is a "jam". His rhythm is fine. You sound like you know so much about the bass and teaching. Are you a failed "teacher"? You probably have one of those ancient swinging metronomes on your dusty piano and wave a stick around to stress the importance of playing quarter notes very steadily as your student concentrates on the mechanical clicks. I'm ranting now!!! !Help....!!!!

hahaha...good comment

He's too loud. Too much treble / electric on an acoustic set doesn't blend with the other instruments. And stepping on the piano. Walking stiff while the others are swinging. And I'm not a great analytical "what's not right here" listener. But in this mix? Easy to find things to improve.

B Dubya yup

Destination F chorus.

You answered your own question.Because it sounds great.

Cort is not low budget they make guitars for a lot of high end brands 🎸

it is his signature model though

It's all subjective.

Craig Sinclair He is playing for the song.

I think he brought a neat fusiony/prog tone and vibe which the other guys seemed to jump on. Was awesome!

auxpowerunit I think everyone was in control so no recover needed. :)

Everything is harmonically outside? Outside what? Seems pretty inside to me.
