In this video, I analyze the intro to "NOT TiGHT" by Domi & JD Beck - as performed in their Tiny Desk Concert. Just discovered this artist, and I can't believe what I'm hearing! Makes me so optimistic for music!

JD Beck grew up in Dallas. He started playing out in clubs when he was still a kid, and of course you couldn't help noticing how he was KILLING it. His mom carted him around, and facilitated getting him out there. Players around town always kept an eye out for him wherever he was. He was very much adopted by the jazz/music community. He was playing pretty much like this when he was twelve!! Everybody knew he'd have no limits. He was a bright light, a really sweet guy who radiated good vibes. It's great to see he and Domi recognized for their cool thing.

word! I saw him at jam session in Dallas....and when he walked in to the club, as like a 15 year old or younger, he was treated like royalty from the other musicians....I was so intrigued, then I heard him play and I understood!!!

If the "reaction" video is from musicians explaining like this one, Rick B. or the Daily Doug, it brings really something to the plate, because you have insights and learn. Watching random people just sitting there, and reacting (often fake reacting) with "oh, wow" is just a waste of time.

@@Zach_Routhier I know of Grady Tate mostly from his playing with Jimmy Smith......when they are older they have a nice live album played in a club, "Fourmost Return" Jimmy Smith, with Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine on Sax and Kenny Burrell on guitar. It's just mature players "not trying too hard" but just nice in the pocket groove playing, mostly swinging bluesy jazz. I am a 48 year harmonica player but had a swing/jazz/blues band 10 years and this is some of the type music we played on earlier sets on a club date type thing. Mostly we were more uptempo swing and jump blues, a favorite for the Lindy Hop Dance crowd who supported us.

I'm not an arranger, just a hack drummer, but I heard what this dude is talking about immediately, Chick chords, towels on the snare, a connection to the past but totally fresh and new. Yes, everybody stands on shoulders but these two blew me away; I have wanted to be blown away by younger jazz musicians (a relative term) but it wasn't happening, so nice to find I don't have a bias after all. JD is the only young drummer I have heard who is pushing the marble forward, for me he's already there with Sanchez and Blade (my #1 and 2); can't imagine what he will become. The best thing of all is that Domi and JD are connecting my generation and one in between with kids the age I was the first time I saw Miles. Warms my heart and gives me optimism about the future of jazz as I understand it. If you are a young jazz musician, here's your model.

JD Beck is also a natural talent without formal education, but some years of tutelage by some renown drummers and bands. For accurate details, google. ;-)

i absolutely love their debut studio album. theres some great tunes, amazing arrangement and production, but for some reason there is just something missing from the studio recordings. i always find myself gravitating towards their live performances when i want to listen to them, there is just something indescribable about the chemistry between the two of them playing live.

agree wholeheartedly. it would've elevated the album to a whole other level if the songs were recorded live. while the studio setting/mixing works very well for some joints (like the .paak collab) it really hinders others.

You're drinking the Kool aid. You mention artists that are totally different in every aspect to each other. You are hearing someone with superb technique but little concept of melodic development. Most of her soloing sounds like scale practice. No space for the music to breathe. Even something like giant steps that is fast and has a barrage of notes, has melodic development and shape. It has direction.

So while they do have a relatively new sound, it's not something we haven't seen from cats like chris dave and robert glasper for example. The hip hop and breakbeat influenced stuff from the late 90s can be a blind spot for guys who solely do jazz sometimes. Hip hop had probably the largest influence on modern jazz of any musical movement in the past 20-30 years yet some jazz guys refuse to acknowledge it. Great vid!
