@Madhatter1781 I swear, every time one of you idiots say this idiotic shit, someone thinks "Oh! Is it?" and dislikes the video. Shut the fuck up!

[saxbari]

He's some kind of man/beast/genius!

[barisaxrulz]

I can play this in my sleep. Literally, I had a dream I could.

[hydekins2]

Anyone got the transcription for the main bari line?

[BaritoneSaxKing]

@hydekins2 start from low A and figure it out yourself, you can tell anytime he plays low A cuz it sounds like hes playing through a tube lol

[UltimoDestructo94]

@hydekins2

Gotta learn to transcribe it man.

[hydekins2]

@UltimoDestructo94 Too much work

[UltimoDestructo94]

@hydekins2

It's good for you and it gets easier the more you do it. it helps to train your ear and pick up on some of the style of the players. Plus, then you don't have to rely on sheet music or finding music for songs.

[curiousnomad]

Sounds like something Dreams would have played.

[PJcam24]

Is that an actual song that they play at 1:30?

[IncredibleEverything]

@PJcam24

It's just some sort of Jam, with a Bari line underneath.

[tackledparsley]

@PJcam24 the start reminds me of a phrase in the muppet show theme

[Southsideskim]

what song is this or did they just make it up?

[mattchiefgaming]

His sound is just TOO amazing.

[yodaler1]

@dizzybird20 while i dont disagree that he is beyond words i thinhk gerry still has him beat

[whirlybird76]

the tummy is for support, thats what I always say!!

[vanderbiltsax]

Ronnie just got out of jail. Must a practiced a lot there.

[1skywalke2]

Awesome! play bari sax for my jazz band, and i would love to play like this. Crazy sound!

[Gandalfe]

Monster sound with a heavy dose of soul. Good stuff!

[hockeysobie96]

[Madhatter1781]

epic end by ronnie :D

[JoEllessTV]

so amazing

[23546j]

PERSONALY Y PLAY BARI SAX AND I WANT TO PLAY THIS IN THIS LAST YEAR OF MY HIGH SCHOOL IN THE BAND CONCERT IT WILL BE AWSOME HAHAHAHA I WISH TO KNOW WHAT IS THIS SONG...

[alirzb]

@23546j

its a creation of these three superstars. Incredibly difficult to transcribe, I would suggest you do something easier.

Look up Charles Mingus' hit, "Moanin".  It features an amazing Cuber solo

[hondacr85r2008]

@23546j improvisation he basically made it up from using jazz scales i believe

[pebblefrog196]

0:21 that was CRAZY he needs no flanger or phaser effects! HE IS THE MIGHTY BARI BLOB!!!!

[Fading123]

wooooooooow i live jazz.

[crazyniebz]

it would take a big guy to play that bsax like a tenor......good stuff

[Isaxman]

Now there's a funky bari sound if I've ever heard one.

[pobinr]

This is note diarrhoea. I think I'll stick to listening to Bach.

[alirzb]

@pobinr thats cuz you're a fucking retard.

[pobinr]

@alirzb Random tuneless cliched junk in the worst possible taste.

It's to the public's credit that jazz sales are so low.

Are trying to be contrapuntal ?

I think they need to listen to Bach a little more then learn.

[alirzb]

@pobinr

I think you are under the impression you are hot shit because A) You figured out how to spell Bach, and B) You know who he is. You know what I have to say about that?

False.

[pobinr]

@alirzb Well you've certainly built a strong argument there in favour of this note excrement Vs Bach LOL

[alirzb]

@pobinr

Thanks dude. I try.

search "Charles Mingus Moanin" and listen to that bari.

[pobinr]

@alirzb Checked out that Mingus. Yeah great !

As Jack Bruce of Cream said 'Bach is the best bass player'

[halo6lord]

@pobinr If you knew anything about classical music at all, you would know that Bach is insipid compared to many other composers. What of Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Respighi, or Dukas? All excellent composers who compose much better than Bach. I hope you realize that Baroque music in general is tasteless repetition of the same tone rows. Second, jazz is not note diarrhea. It's a complex pattern of rhythms and scales that are quite tasteful when exected well, and Ronnie Cuber is one of the best.

[pobinr]

@halo6lord Bach descriptions - Wagner 'The most stupendous miracle in all music' , Beethoven ' The immortal God of harmony.

Bach had an aural as well as dextral facility that made people gasp. At the keyboard, whether performing a work of his own, sight-reading or improvising, Bach also had a gift for polyphony unequalled before or since. With the striking exception of Berlioz, who refused to allow Bach to impress him, every major composer has been stunned by his musical fertility.

[pobinr]

@pobinr by the ingenious combining, shaping and weaving of voices that constituted his style and which he brought to a refinement far exceeding that of earlier German polyphonists such as Pachelbel and Buxtehude, from whom he had learned the basic elements. No composer after Bach was so thoroughly the ‘learned’ musician that Wolff describes. The works he composed (and very often performed) were so beautifully and so intelligently worked out and elaborated that they exhausted the resources of

[pobinr]

@pobinr the resources of tonal sound. In Bach’s counterpoint, the listener is aware of a remarkable complexity but never a laborious or academic one. Its authority is absolute. For both listener and performer, the result is an aesthetic pleasure based equally on immediate accessibility and the greatest technical prowess.

[pobinr]

@pobinr One of the best things Jaco ever played was Bach's chromatic fantasy.

You say 'insipid'. You have a lot to learn.

Bach's music is the least insipid music. it's full of life & beauty

[halo6lord]

@pobinr

After playing and listening to the genre of classical music for nearly 18 years, I can safely say that I, personally, find Bach's music quite insipid, when compared to the fantastic twelve-tone runs, and the rich atonalities that are common to the (I realize I didn't specify, but this was the era of music I was referring to) contemporary period of music. Who could forget Anton Webern's excellent usage of dodecaphony in "Sehr langsam"? What about Hindemith's Sonata for the English Horn

[halo6lord]

@halo6lord

and Piano (which wasn't twelve-tone, but was still incredibly dissonant), composed in 1941? By forcing themselves to utilize twelve-tone techniques, composers of the contemporary era were able to create a new style of music that, in my opinion, can best most everything Bach will throw at it. With characteristic dissonances that have greatly shaped music as it is today, Bach pales in comparison.

When you tell about the "aural as well as dextral facility that made people gasp", you

[halo6lord]

@halo6lord

ignore my main argument, in that I wasn't speaking of the ability to play or to listen (I do acknowledge that Bach was skilled in these aspects) but rather the ability to compose. I do recognize that Bach is considered one of the greatest composers of all time in classical music. However, were it not for Forkel's biography of Bach's life, Bach would have been lost altogether in the flood of new styles that were emerging. While composing in multiple voices may be difficult, it is

[halo6lord]

@halo6lord

generally considered far more difficult to compose in dodecaphonic style. One must consider the need for usage of tetrachords, trichords, and hexachords in derivation, transformation, combinatorality, and invariance. I'll continue to use Webern as my example. His mature works have a textural clarity and emotional coolness, and heavily influenced the post-WWII avant garde, as well as showing a deep understanding of chromatic musicality.

[halo6lord]

@halo6lord

But let me wrap up this lengthy argument. Why do listeners choose to listen to Bach? Easy accessibility, and of course, pretty harmonies. It's easily understood.

But on the flip side, why do listeners choose to listen to music from the contemporary period? It's certainly not easily understood. Rather, there is a deep complexity, a clear and dissonant sound that has a cathartic effect on experienced listeners.

[halo6lord]

@halo6lord

I end with this. Everyone is biased towards one side or the other. While I may not actively seek out Bach's music to listen to it, I by no means think that Bach is a bad composer. I just feel that his works are boring, and lack excitement (my definition of insipid). Dreadfully so. However, I realize that you may feel otherwise, and I understand that, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[halo6lord]

@halo6lord

And with that, I'm done arguing on this page. Pobinr, thanks for a good chat. I mean it.

But, please stop flaming Ronnie Cuber. It's just not cool.

[pobinr]

@halo6lord Musical offering theme is highly chromatic. The chromaticism in Unfinished fugue from Art of Fugue reaches as far forward as early schoenberg.

You are alone amongst real musical people in thinking Bach's music is insipid.

If you think this is insipid you're missing something !

Search youtube for - J. S. Bach - Partita n. 5 in G Major BWV 829 - 7. Gigue (7/7)
