RickDastardly Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I have some George Benson. I really like White Rabbit, but don't have anything else by him. I keep meaning to pick up some Charlie Christian and Tal Farrow too. Edited June 7, 2015 by RickDastardly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanketforts Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 this is great stuff WTF I was roommates with this guy in college. Small world. He was an incredible guitarist then too, not surprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yeah totally I had sorta lost faith in jazz for a while As being un-progressive, self-indulgent and sometimes even puritanical And instead I was drawn towards more conceptual-minded composers In other fields But folks like Mark Turner, Miles Okazaki, Dan Weiss Reaffirmed That jazz doesn't have to be Dudes running scales Over generic swing (Which to me is about the least interesting thing) Miles Okazaki especially Hits my Steve Reich g-spot I gotta go out and buy his book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanketforts Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yeah haha. I didn't know him for very long - just a couple of years really. But yeah we worked together in the dining hall and whatnot. We even took a jazz survey course together which was a joke for him, but opened my eyes quite a bit and is why I know anything about jazz really. Cool that he has a fanbase on here.

RickDastardly Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 ta for this! rhythmic modes alone = *mind-blown* he just put out a book a sort-of systematic presentation of his ideas i'm gonna try to pick it up this weekend but here's his website (lotta great conceptual stuff about form and rhythm and counterpoint): http://milesokazaki.com/research.php dude, check out "rhythmic tiling" here's the hidden youtube companioin vids for the book: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-zBbCa8jOIbFbdIU5GHdvH22UNAUW0 last vid is "rhythmic tiling" Holy hell! I can't believe a video about tuning a guitar could be so fascinating! Thanks, that was unexpectedly cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I know! After tuning my guitars I was always confused why the G string was always outta tune Never once had I heard someone mention just temperament when talking about tuning Never ever ever Another bit of proof that the people who taught me about the world were full of shit and didn't know how to say "I don't know the answer to that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 in another video george b was tlaking about soloing and saying that really as complicated as jazz can be broken down he finds that as long as you know the key you can just bust the chords out and play to your ear what sounds right and it'll be ok, well this is a late night dleetr version of what he said but it was rather comforting for an half arsed bitch such as myself to hear, nao if only i could have learnt to play through those changes, heh ..

Haste Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 RIP Ornette. Not to suddenly change tack, but I'm always wanting to find out if anyone likes these guys as much as I do (whenever a Jazz thread pops up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpyLoo Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah, he's good stuff. (Also, he gives private lessons, but that probably doesn't make sense unless you've shed his book for a year or so...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

may be rude Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) mary halvorson's album saturn sings is great. if you've heard trevor dunn's trio convulsant, she's the guitarist from that. her albums have different sounds, but this one reminds me of her work with the trio convulsant, which i like a lot, its some of my favorite guitar playing. some great use of brass on it, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhC8_Hyx8Co Edited July 11, 2015 by very honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
