3 жыл бұрынIn this episode, we immerse ourselves in the musical world of the legendary Miles Davis Quintet of the 1950's. We will discuss how to listen to Jazz through the solos of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. The featured tune is Sonny Rollins Jazz standard "Oleo" which is based on the chord changes of George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm" also known as "Rhythm Changes."

It takes a video like this to separate the chaff from the wheat - because if someone just dives in, they will be guided unwittingly by the market forces underneath the musical waters, and waste lots of time wondering “so this is jazz? I guess this is supposed to be good? OK, then” only to find recordings like this years later. And yeah, that was me (let’s not name names).

I listened to the whole track last night after watching this video. I only really know hard bop from owning some Clifford Brown recordings, as we share the same hometown. I discovered that Horace Silver played on the first recording of "Oleo." I know Silver from the two "A Night at Birdland" albums, where Brown played trumpet.

Gotta admit it's quite above me, which is my fault, because I don't often enough listen analytically. Rather like a non-meteorologist enjoying beautiful clouds. So at least I'm at the gates, enjoying the more accessible stuff from Meshuggah, Panzerballett, John Scofield, Vince Guaraldi, Keith Jarrett, and finding great stuff hidden in stuff that isn't jazz per se. The Fender Rhodes in Prince's Ballad Of Dorothy Parker and such. What I've learned: Your true joy and infectuous enthusiasm is a great commercial for jazz.

I played guitar with Miles in '86. What struck me most about him was the almost alien nature that he had. I have many stories of course and, in one, he played the single most amazing note I have ever heard. It started out as an "ugly duckling" and in a few seconds, he had turned it into a golden orb of beauty that sailed out into the hall. I was stunned. And that was in the first song of the first gig I did with him.~

I’m a guitarist with a master’s degree in jazz history. I enjoy *many* of your videos, but I’m especially grateful for this one. A few points if I may: (1) This is a great recording for teaching jazz. Among other reasons, this is because here we have an example of the rhythm section dropping out at various points in the tune, and in various combinations. So, whoever is soloing *really* has to know the form of the tune. Miles isn’t always relying on Red Garland to supply chord changes, for example. That’s important to consider. (2) This is also a great example of how jazz musicians *listen* , not only to each other in a performance, but when they practice. Jazz musicians traditionally get ideas from other musicians who play different instruments. Check out that line Miles plays at 14:36. He’s quoting a Klosé saxophone exercise that Bird used to quote in his improvisations. Whether Miles was quoting Klosé or alluding to Bird, the point is that he was not playing a melody designed for his instrument. This is a particularly important lesson, especially for us guitarists who can frequently be myopic in that we only listen to other guitarists. (3) That final chord is a great one! It also makes sense as the upper structure of a Gb7#9, which makes me wonder if Pat Martino was alluding to it when he finishes his 1970 recording of this tune with a Bb7#9. Thank you for this and all you do. Steve Beck

@youtube youtube Regarding jazz pianists, that’s a broad topic. I would say in general you have to remember the importance of community. Nobody really “taught” themselves how to improvise - a lot of people exchanged ideas early on. I would suggest finding someone who can play and is willing to show you some things. If that’s not feasible, I would learn to read music on guitar, transcribe solos, listen to records.

Jazz is Black American Music, and it (and of course it’s mother, the blues) has played a wider influence on the music world than most Americans realize. I owe these guys everything. And “Relaxin’” was really the album that got me into Miles and Red Garland. ... Anyhow, THANK YOU RICK for using your platform to hip the world to jazz!!

I have two stories regarding Miles. 1) I used to work with a guy who had eclectic musical tastes. He had two posters on the wall in his office - one was of Geddy Lee of Rush, the other was Miles. I was fascinated by his appreciation of different art forms. 2) This one's really weird. I met a retired FBI agent several years ago who had been with the Bureau in the late 1950s through the 1960s. The whole civil rights thing was going on at the time with MLK and all the marches. Well, J. Edgar Hoover hated Martin and swore that he was a communist. So Hoover actually had different agents assigned to follow various key black people because of his obsession. Paul Robeson, Harry Belafonte, these were outspoken performers who apparently didn't know their place according to Hoover, so he had them followed. Somehow he got it in his head that Miles could have "uppity n------" leanings, too, which is where the agent I met came in. He said he was assigned to follow Miles for two solid years and never saw any suspicious activity. But he did get to attend a lot of concerts so he said that was quite a bonus!

According to Bird, he always had this sound in his head though he never realized it through his horn. The "epiphany" was that he used the higher extension of a chord, 7th, 9th, 13th, as a pivot to the proceeding chord. Though it may have been a realization, I'm sure Parker had to hit the wood shed to fully incorporate and maneuver through the difficult changes at 300 bpm. It didn't hit him and presto there it was, he had to work to get to it. As for Bebop being born, it came from the demise of big bands just after WW2. There were economic factors that could not support a traveling band of up to 20 musicians. Also, the big band was a bit restrictive when it came to each musician having a moment of self-expression. The smaller quartet/quintet was ideal for individualism and improvisation, and it was in the late night hours of small clubs on 52 street in New York where it came about.

@@stuartwatson3648 , Too late. Meanwhile: I found that is like a rebus: the + y = the Y (why). Hmmm. Not any why. But THE why. I googled. The Y is the masculine chromosome. The Y is Brigham Youth institute. The Y is Timberlake's production team. Even a Jewish community centre. A town in Arizona. And a musical group The Y Men. The further the better. The Y is a restaurant in Moscow (Russia)! god, why. What it should be like on Cyrillics then. Maybe something like Ж. I listened to all the tracks of the group, hardly reminding jazz actually. (Not a bad band, btw). I inspected all russian menu. (Well, pretty yammy.) I learnt all facts and entries referring to chromosomes (Y ones, ofc). And gosh, what a man you are, - when I finally thought I almost hacked this damn riddle, you came and said you'd just made a typo. Came and said. That simple. oushhhh. Go away, cruel human. I needa cry. I got little time. We're gonna be landing shortly. It's my stop. Moscow. With further early breakfast. At The Y. To the sounds of The Y Men. With a science newspaper on the table. About The Y chromosome. And a few new riddles.

The final chord here was used before, also as a final chord, by ... Richard Strauss in 1896. It's the final chord of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (the full piece that opens with the famous theme later used in "2001 A Space Odyssey"). There it's Bmaj/C.

Rick, as a fellow guitar instructor, I literally need to watch all of these (what I would refer to as) "high-brow" videos on traditional jazz, to keep my learning curve in place. There are many of us out here who absolutely love these jazz videos. I learn so much from all of them. You clearly have a bigger brain than most of us, on jazz so; we need you to continue pouring these videos out. Damn the numbers! The reward is in the teaching of your students. Jazz is absolutely, an acquired taste. Give it time, and people will come to learn more about it, with your help and guidance. Thanks again for all of your hard work and sharing your incredible talents. ~ Dave

I am not into jazz, however, I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this genre of music as I do when you explain in great detail why you love other forms of music like rock music which is more of what I like and listen to primarily. Hearing what you think makes this jazz song great probably is the best explanation I have heard as to why others love jazz music and what I could be listening to and focus on in the future to possibly expand my taste in jazz music. I watched your live stream today questioning if you should be creating jazz music videos. I think you should because it opens the door to why I might consider and appreciate other styles of music that I might not otherwise have even considered. I realize it makes it challenging for you as the number of views doesn't reach what your other rock videos generate. Please keep reaching out for feedback and follow your heart, that is what makes you and your channel special to me. I look forward to each and every video even if the style of music is outside my narrow taste in music.

As an old jazz-cat, I really appreciate the time and effort you put in keeping jazz alive. I can't agree more, soooooo many great jazz geniuses have passed but none as special as Miles. And then you just mentioned the 50 & 60's. He also opened the way to jazz rock and Fusion the the 70s. History misses one big event that unfortunately never happened, a record of Miles and Jimi Hendrix, I am sure that would have changed the (music) world.....

the planet and the inhabitants need this. some of the most rhythmic, melodic, and improvisational music ever recorded. this art form must be preserved. you may be uniquely qualified to teach this, since you can play all the instruments - aside from horns, I think. not just your intimate knowledge of the tunes, but you seem to adore it and have, and convey, fun with it. jazz can be hard to understand because the players are so good and play at such ridiculous tempos, the uneducated listener needs help, like this, to get it.
