Monday Blues #1: All Blues

[tterb4]

Miles smiles.Nice job.

[KingCrimson776]

Oh yeah, Miles style mahfucks. This be my shit. True O.G. shit right here.

[KingCrimson776]

Hey Nyk, what are some of your favorite artists, you're a jazz and classical guy too right?

Miles Davis

John Coltrane

Stravinsky

Ravel

Charles Mingus

King Crimson (hence the name)

those are some of mine (man I'm out of it right now :P)

[owlcowl]

Yeah, man! Love your list.

Plus Bird, Dizzy & Monk on the jazz side.

Plus Debussy & Bartok on the classical.

And thats just 20th century.

Steve Reich (another favorite) said as long as youve got Bach, Stravinsky, Bird & Trane, what else do you need, right?

Well, i'd need a few more, but thats a helluva great start!

[KingCrimson776]

Nice man yeah... Debussy, Reich, Monk, the rest of those you named for me as well. Man I love music.

[owlcowl]

"Nice man yeah... Debussy, Reich, Monk, the rest of those you named for me? as well. Man I love music.'

Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music and Music is THE BEST. -- Frank Zappa

[KingCrimson776]

My favorite quote ever right there.

[owlcowl]

'My favorite quote ever right there."

Heres another:

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. -- Albert Schweitzer

Of course, ailurophobes will take issue with half of that pairing. But no one will dissent from the music part. Which reminds me of another contemporary master, Arvo Part...

[KingCrimson776]

Yeah, I'm only hip to the music part of that one. :P

[owlcowl]

Oh, so youre not a true hepcat, eh?

Meeeooow!

[KingCrimson776]

Crap, cats are inextricably tied to jazz aren't they. Can't I be a hephound or something? :P Or maybe I'm just a dinosaur.

[owlcowl]

"Or maybe I'm just a dinosaur."

Nothing wrong with that -- after all, you have your own theme song:

Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem DRY Bones....

[rockerjosh2]

I demand more monday blues!

[mbturner625]

cool man. I'd love to play music with you sometime. Your'e interest in music is widely varied

[kingzant99]

I second that. I play cello, but I play it more like bass. I need to get a bass and learn that. I think I would prefer that to cello.

[Omhra]

Thank you. That was nice.

[urbster1]

where was yesterday's blues? :(

[CandyLeeLong]

Nice :)

[otherether]

Not too shabby, longhair. [Smile.]

☆ long·hair (lôŋ′her′)

noun

1. an intellectual; specif., a longhair musician

[grebrim]

remindns me of the "controversy" on Faux and Friends over the fact that congressmen were given the option to replace the "american" music (marches) that you hear as waiting music when you try to call them with jazz (sic!). I think Congress finally yielded to Fox.

This representes all I love about your country ever since I first herad it (app. 17 years ago). Nice version!

[cha0sLovesFB]

Nicky boy!! I just wanna shout loud and semi drunken blue riffs over this shit. Fuckin' a...

[ClearFiend]

skills!

[ml283]

Truly, seriously awesome and one of my favorite songs/artists of all time. Anyone know if someone has done a recording of All Blues on the piano like this? Don't think Davis ever did, but maybe he should have.

[urbster1]

you mean bill evans? he was the piano player on that tune. miles davis played trumpet. also i would recommend my own video response which was a mirror of shnabubula's piano cover of this tune. on his channel you can also find an 8 bit cover!

[zach9899]

yeah buddy. good shit. but your still a fag. Just kidding. This song is the isht.

[tesscrazy]

wow Nykytyne2 can play the piano!! you're not half bad either

[domherre]

Wow very good stuff!

[epicur3an]

[Haraldur34]

[dominictemple]

Very nice, I'm a new subscriber and didn't know you played.

[jeffwolfheart]

[thewolverineanalyzer]

Great job!

[peterscottfrost]

Very impressive!

[peterscottfrost]

Is there a "Blues for Boobs" campaign in the works?  :D

[RustyCyler]

very good

[3BullsAndOneCandy]

That was really cool !

[sexyfunklova]

Awesome! From a fellow jazz muzo - you have made my day!

[TheDoubtingApproach]

Nice one!

[yumekoe]

[RadicalWhig]

Play that funky music, white boy.

(I can feel my blues drifting away)

[ToddAllenGates]

Excellent playing - 5 stars.

[junka22]

Holy crap Miles, that's awesome! I've played this song with my guitar teacher. Very nicely done, more jazz please, I love it! ;)

[HolonsNetwork]

Excellent!

[selftitledera]

Nick, you are a true virtuoso. :)

[dannyboyfour]

Wow. Mr philosopher can play piano!

[MontegoFilms]

<3 Miles Davis.

5*s

[Satak8]

Awesome playing! You need a band man, and a good Jazz club :)

[41566118]

Sweet man

[BornInAsphodelMeadow]

Was this all from the sheet or was any of this improv?

[CB563]

Need a bassist?

[AncientAtheist]

Very sweet. You helped me get through cleaning the kitchen.

Yeah. It's sad....

[alastairguhn]

I usually just listen to some Mozart, but this is good, too.

[rokth]

You are no longer Nykytyne, you are now Boxcar Samson.

[MusicIsLife720]

Yay piano! I love your normal videos but your piano ones are always a special treat. Excellent job!

[NonStampCollector]

All Blues in 4? Now that's miraculous.

[MarkComrade]

Nice playing, man.

[urbster1]

holy fucking shit. have you heard kind of bloop yet? check out kindofbloop*dot*net. one of my favorite musicians, shnabubula, did a killer version of this. you can actually find a clip of the 8bit version on his YT channel, but i'm uploading one of his vids as a response. i didn't know you liked jazz! OR that you had such killer chops! over 9,000 stars!!!

[urbster1]

my bad, it's kindofbloop*dot*com

[pinkstarburst95]

This shits going on my Ipod.

[FightsWithPreachers]

Great!! Loved it.. I even listened to it naked one time...

[HolonsNetwork]

i dig it.

[brains06]

Awesome!

[OdeToNecrophilia]

Did I notice a few mistakes?

[PointOnACurve]

When put aside all the arguing and other B.S. of the world, all we really need is some good music after all.

Mucho thankso!

[verodefacto]

aahhhhhhh some major fap-ing from me listening to this .....goddamn nyk you are a monster!!!!!

[MPizzal]

This is awesome, I hope you stick with this

[lolnetsephy]

May all of your Mondays be bluesy, and may you share them with all of us!

Absolutely lovely, very well played ^_^

[ozmoroid]

Beautifully played. I enjoyed this immensely. 5/fav.

[MysteriousBarricades]

[ihrmc]

I love the Monday Blues idea - thanks for posting.

[4jonah]

Looks like you having a case of the Mondays is the best thing ever...this is great dude. more please.

[PragmaticLiving]

Grattis! You are awsome

[AutodidacticPhd]

I can smell the rain on cheap suites, murmur of people shaking off the business stiff of the day as the kilnk of glass echos off the smoke blacked bricks of a tiny dive, L train whispers and a shouting cabbing drift in before the door swings closed. yellowed ivory and finger polished ebony floats on the thick air like a mysterious hostess, teasing ears and making every drink order roll off the tongue like a soft sung chorus...

thanks man, i needed a five minute vacation.

[DandelionSpoon]

Beautifully played!

[forsbrookme]

how do you play in blue?

[saladshootavvv]

Kind of Blue = one of the best jazz albums ever (despite jazz snobs being pissed at how popular it is in the mainstream). Great interpretation!

[RodHullIOnceWasHim]

Fucking brilliant man. Loved it!!

[PortgasDAce13]

Rather enjoyed that, and blues usually isn't really my scene.

[TookiGuy]

Great! Thanks for the music. Looking foward to the next one.

[mparker18311]

My girlfriend and I jammed out to this over our screw drivers. Kudos my friend.

[tattooskin72]

Well this was an unexpected treat :) Nice playing... always wished I could.. damn these short stubby fingers!!!!

[TatsujinSan]

Great job Nyk.

[religiousnonbeliever]

Excellent blues my friend :)

[eraser101YT]

lol Nykytyne, you look like you have grown a small beard in the thumbnail pic, because of your hair in the background =)

nice playing btw *claps

[alexma63]

Nice job Nyk :)

[nekedemus]

Now I miss my old Stand-Up Grand.

Fender Rhodes Mark I is a poor substitute but easy to move around. sniff..

[Dusty341]

Well done! Really enjoyed that:D

[Boondockflyfish]

[painterQjensen]

putting some soul into music, always makes it feel right

grazi

[Alaron251]

You are so good at the piano.

[ThatLovelyEnglishBob]

Master a new blues piece to this extent every week when you feel to put the effort in? Dayum Nyk, what's your secret?

Love, a despairing pianist of 11 years.

[Mythification]

Great Scoot! =)

[Chloetyne22]

yay! miles davis. this is epic win already,

[fatrat600284]

Amazing!

[Nykytyne2]

Thanks, fatrat.

[caughtbytheflash]

exhilarating and calming simultaneously.

[Nykytyne2]

Thanks very much!

[Slawter187]

My least favourite track off of Kind of Blue, but beautiful nonetheless! great cover man!

[zarkoff45]

Hey, that kind of music I get.

Now, can you rock?
