Artur Doyle & Sunny Murray

[charlesandhisworld]

This sounds like an elephant falling down a set of metal stairs..again...and again...and again...

[alform]

@charlesandhisworld And for each falling it is like a new totaly improvised sound. Wonderful! I wish there had been two elephants.

[GeoCoppens]

Totally pointless!

[lunasurface]

[AbsolutexZer0]

[bingo90210]

Free Jazz?? They should pay me to listen to this shit!! Did they stab a Walrus in the balls at 0:58?? hahahaha

[ablackchaneldress]

why did this have to end?

[Migaluch3]

Its not like this is not talent-jumping around in free time, its just not listenable. So i get why ppl hate it.

[DeadlyNinjaDrummer]

wtf? this is shit

[alform]

@DeadlyNinjaDrummer = the new Krupa? Can´t wait to hear you.

[DeadlyNinjaDrummer]

@alform Im not saying he sucks but i clearly dont see any talent in this video.

[1000rtodd]

@DeadlyNinjaDrummer its called free jazz

[jazznoize]

Beautiful! I have a duo recording of Sunny and Arthur on the Ayler label that's bloody fantastic. Thanks for uploading!

[MrDeagunJones]

[PaulMurphyJazzDrum]

[onamemmet]

edcerc

how are you going to have three misspellings in five words?

'...than your way of base...'. then you're way off base.

[alform]

Do have Arthur telled your that?

He musts have pull the leg of yours!

Buger!

[TheAnalObsession]

just got "sunny's time" can anyone tell me some artist similar? thanks!

[mishiba8]

He's playing in the spaces around time signatures. Imagine a 4/4 ( for example) - the spaces between beats. Really running around in that space. Does that help? This is more like 15/16.

Wonderful, insightful, unconstrained SOUND.

[thomasloyens]

crazytime! amazing

[jmoli0916]

are these guys fucking drunk?

[freejazzfree]

hey!! you're working on your sense of humour..

more work to do apparently.

[jmoli89]

if you could give me one logical reason why this dumbfuck is so appreciated, id bow to your feet. please be very compelling...if such a remedial imbecile can be so mighty, why dont you?

[freejazzfree]

if you have ask then you'll never know.

[swckswck]

Sunny Murray is appreciated because he helped free jazz timekeeping from it's constraints, well over 40 years ago. Master percussionists such as Max Roach recognized his contributions. It's easy to say nasty things about people on youtube, but there's plenty of documentation of Sunny's influence. I would suggest checking out some books in the library on 60's jazz history, and definitely some of Sunny's early work.

[andrecornal]

don't waste your time trying to educate conservatives.. these people go to church to repent the sins they'll be making during the week, and still bash what they can't grasp...

[edcerc]

first of all if you cant hear how natural and sensitive to rhythm he is than your not listening correctly. Or rather your mind is to boxed in to appreciate the outer realms of music. You should check out albert aylers spiritual unity which is arguably sunny murrays most important record. and if you cant get into that than there may be no hope for you.

[jmoli89]

natural is a different way of putting it. is that another way of saying incognizant and without any regard to any structure or solidity in music? im all for breaking bounds in music, experimenting, progessing, exploring the "outer realms of music". however, theres a line i draw between unique and creative talent, and mindless bullshit.

[edcerc]

well this is far from mindless bullshit and if this is the only reference you have for "mindless bullshit" than your way of base. Its called multi directional rhythm, look it up. Did you ever hear of interstellar space?

[edcerc]

in fact do you even listen to jazz?

[jmoli89]

some

[brotzmannsax]

Two giants, great quality & performance, Sunny has been "chasing"down his equipment since I saw him in the 60's in NY (especially his ride cymbal!) nice job!

[MississippiBlindJoe]

hell yeah

[PaulMurphyJazzDrum]

I love it ! ! thanks for posting.
