kaesthebluntedwonder Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I have some friends who played with him one time. Me, I've played with a drummer who played with Monk in the late 60's/early 70's. Talk about being sonned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 well, anyone who knows anyone knows that the drums are the foundation, and this guy Randy Jones fuckin SMOKED... 5 drums, 5 cymbals, ALL dynamis... the bass player, who we call 'the good' Michael Moore was fucking all over it, arps and furios scalar stuff, never even an iota of misintonation, I was stupified! Kaes, seriously, what's it been like 5 years I'm sayin' we need to get something happening? Check your email, I'm gonna send you an mp3 here in a sec.

kaesthebluntedwonder Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Michael Moore? Holy crap, he's a pretty damn good player, to say the least. I've been meaning to get a lesson with him for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaesthebluntedwonder Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I heard he's one of the nicest, coolest and humblest cats out there. Like if I got a lesson with him, and were to see him at a club he'd be like, hey lemme buy you a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 word, he was probably the lowest key of them all, he stood to the back kinda behind/between the piano and drums, he'd bust out with the goods and then he'd just look at Dave or the drummer and kinda get a check and play on... we debated about wether it was the bass or the drums that actually ruled the show, in the end I went with the drums and Eric said it was all about the soloist, Bobby Militello... he played sax and flute, both fabulously and he treated the melodies very nicely, his solos were super clean and well structured but... I can't give it to the soloist, that's my job... and then Dave just ruled it all from underneath... I was also awed by that, I would love to hook up with a super-arranger like that... The show was crazy, apparently Dave had laryngitis and then after intermission he got the chills so he played most of the second set wearing a big beige trench coat and a super huge red muffler... he stripped it all of for Take 5 (of course) but the drum solo is what actually rules that song so... it was just good to see him feeling better, said a few words at the end, it was amazing.

Smart Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Oh, but not to hate on the soloist... they played Take 10 and during his solo he quoted most of the melody to Four by Miles so, that was fresh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaesthebluntedwonder Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I feel it's really about the group sound...the group is one living organism. If you were affected by the performance in any way, which it seems you were, they were all doin' their job. That's what I make of it at least.

Smart Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 no, totalil, espescially in a quartet setting but, you know... gotta critique... I mean, I can't play it so at least I can hate on it... and I can't hate on the whole so I am forced to break it down just to make my penis feel a little bigger... (ok, 'totalil' was a typo for totally but is almost feels like a real word so I'm gonna leave it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaesthebluntedwonder Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Ah, you see...breaking it down into individuals is the western way of doing things...and this happens to be an African music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Originally posted by Al Green id rather be listening to the byrd and dizzie.. hey, I suppose it's like people who can't tell art schools or graff styles apart, but... you just don't know. You can hug on Bop all you want but that doesn't make it better... and you're comparing totally different styles... a grannysmith and a winesap are both apples but they aren't the same thing. Brubeck and Miles go together... Miles stepped down from Bird's band (not byrd, you mean the bassist? different era...) to introduce 'Cool', Brubeck also pioneered the 'Cool' sound, Miles on the East coast and Brubeck out West... 2 leaders in a brand new sound, skin color had nothing to do with that. You can't front on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
