Hi, new forum user and new player here. My friend (who plays alto sax) and I are wanting to play Shorter's Black Nile at an upcoming jam session, and we both want to play the melody. However, we were curious about who should play what part on the tune's B section. Should I play the harmony part while my friend plays the main line on sax or vice versa? What's typical? Attached a picture of the relevant section in the sheet music. Thank you.
(Also, obligatory "sorry if this is in the wrong section")
Generally (no hard and fast rule) the sax would take the top line. Thats just because sax will blow guitar out of the water in terms of projection and the top line is usually the melody.
Listen to Miles and Milt Jackson on Bags Groove. Miles plays the melody the first time, while Milt plays the lower line. Then they switch. But whatever miles is playing sounds like the melody because of how much better the instrument cuts through.
Re: Latin
There's absolutely too many styles for most to master, but a good jazz player should be able to play a bossa correctly at least...I hear it butchered waaaay to often.
I am sorry to hear about Mike's troubles and I hope he is doing as well as he can. I'm sure all of us want to send our best wishes to one of our standout forum members.
At the time of the clips you posted they were, but that's a different band (with different personnel) than the original group that formed in 1967, which was considered a psychedelic or prog-rock...
So, more seriously. I have owned two Telecasters; my first one was/is a Squier Affinity which was about $200 new, no case. Even dead stock it was a pretty good guitar for jazz; rolling off the volume...
Agree to disagree then. There’s unending minutia in every feel and genre. Impossible to master them all, better to know what tools will get the job done.
There is no fret wear.
Probably @$200 fully insured via FedEx Ground from 16509.
No idea if anyone stuck another piece of paper inside the guitar other than the label (I'll check).
Original sin? Does one man speaks for all the white jazz musicians who followed him?
Besides, their music was Sicilian ragtime. We would not recognise it as jazz.
Ahem? Because you have invented their motives, you are back to where you want to be.
In any case, the origins of jazz are as much Creole as anything else.
