Besides America has classical music: Charles Ives, Aaron Copeland, Milton Babbitt etc.
I am influenced by Mike Longo's assertion that the elements of jazz that make it what it is (rhythm particularly) are not well served by academic teaching methods that have served Western Art music for centuries...

I think his rhythm work was phenomenal, even though of course the vibrato thing was great too.

There are plenty of Jazz guitar journeymen that will admit to this.
However, if there's no such newbies reading this, then I've just been preaching to the choir, for which I apologise for... er... and now it's back to the regular program...

'Funk' means bass to me. Bass driven dance music.Last edited by Stevebol; 02-08-2016 at 03:06 AM.

I'll come in a gain shall I?
The R&B thing certainly marked him out from the Brit players.... I prefer Jimi's vibrato to Clapton's though, which is no diss of Eric. And Eric certainly has solid time, certainly in comparison to most rock guitar players - but I never felt that Eric was a polymetric player like Jimi - he's very much 1/8s and 1/16s locked in. It's interesting to compare styles of time...

The beauty of her "brother,"
And the loveliness of her "brother,"
How delightful they were!
So she ate his flesh without a knife,
She drank his blood without a cup.
I don't think they were talking about the music of a prior generation...

that's a neat little ensemble Destinytot
I like the way the horn lines moved. Very nice arrangement
I don't think I've ever played with a French horn player (that is what the brass instrument was, right?)
But flute, cello, and French horn with a guitar player who can sing old tunes...you got something there
and flute and guitar work so good together. It must be a lot of fun to play with them

We can finally stick a fork in Hip Hop as of then. It will be as dead as R&B.
I think Nick's comment about 'necrophilia' may be taken out of context. He wants to be both provocative and candid. As he would put it he 'soldiers for his shit'. Not enough musicians are willing to do that these days.
Nick does.

I always had the notion that the jazz tradition was about moving forward while acknowledging the past. l accept that people are obsessed with nostalgia, it's a comfortable place to be for most people. Without a doubt, one of the biggest radio formats going is classic rock.....
