Jazz for aficionados
A pig’s squeal is centered roughly around 4,000 HZ (for real; love the internet) Hmmmm!......I think it may be time for new tubes in your line stage 😉. Seriously, like acman3 said, listen again; at least for the 60 seconds. It’s worth it. Try it again: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-75nlrqEjWA **** "How do you come up with something like that?" **** Who knows? However, one has to understand the culture to get it. And I think part of the answer may be found in why Miles said what he said about Hermeto and what we know about Miles. IOW, a no boundaries, “sky’s the limit” approach to the creative process. There are, in fact, some people on this planet that hear music, or the potential for music, in just about any and every sound and thing imaginable; and have an extremely uncompromising attitude about this idea and their art in general. Hermeto is one of the few that can also back up their way-out-there notions with extreme ability and skill in the conventional. Btw, I went to an Hermeto concert back in the 80’s here in NYC. I heard some of the most unbelievably virtuosic and intricate compositions for a “jazz” band imaginable. Right off the bat one could tell that Hermeto was annoyed that there were some in the audience who weren’t listening and were there just to socialize. Half way through the third tune he waved the band out and they walked off the stage. I didn’t blame them. For anyone interested in learning about this very unusual musician: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9hb_Q3VCViI |
Well, I guess it helps if you know what you're listening for. Yes I heard the oinks and grunts first time but never supposed it might be a piglet. And the first song was a couple minutes in before I read the comments to see the pig reference. So I got it, I just didn't know what I got! ;^) Anyway, I concede that should win the prize for most unusual instrument. frog your follow up with the video bio on Hermeto reminded me of one of my favored rock musicians, someone that admittedly not that many other rock fans appreciate. The Captain hisself, plus band of course - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0uqyjGuxyA |
Nsp, since you have mentioned Henderson playing on album with Grant Green, here is another album ’The Kicker’ where they play together. In fact, its the same line up like on ’Idle Moments’ except this album was released under the name of Bobby Hutcherson, but many years after it was recorded. Why, guess we should never know for sure.... https://youtu.be/gbxLxZVJ9nw I think you also mentioned Phineas Newborn J.R. couple posts ago. We have posted him as well, but perhaps you will like this album,where he plays as sideman. Posted before, but it dont mind...
