fly trio

[thisonesam]

what time signature is this in?

[guillepolin]

@thisonesam 9/8 i guess

[rthmjohn]

@thisonesam well it's mostly in 6 with the exception of a few parts where it's clearly in 9. The album version is much less ambiguous about this.

[unclejunglebass]

wheres larry?! lightcap is great, but larry is my favorite bass player right now. and this melody reminds me of an albert ayler tune.

[Sinisterproject]

Oh man! ( and also some woman), this is some fantastic music!!! Is there an album out?

[nadirsharav]

wonderful drumming

[MarianoGabrielCH]

does anyone nows the name of the tune please.

[floortomas]

@MarianoGabrielCH  The tune is childs play.

[jazzsax77]

oh man

[Bosphorus92]

jeff is a melodic machine! When people say that jeff wrote this tune, do you mean the general outline, or the bass and sax parts aswell?

[callumpassells67]

@Bosphorus92 He will have written all of the parts.

[solaridrum10]

fucking awesome ¡¡

[nicolembo21]

I think Jeff Ballard plays percussion in the Maria Schneider big band.

[zachrhea3]

Damn Ballard is a monster in the beginning. I bet he is probably a pretty good conga player or at least could be.

[NateParton]

It just doesn't get much betten than this.

[loudrussell]

Just amazing. "hilarious" is right as someone commented earlier. sounds like a bunch of friends sitting a table talking shit and cracking jokes to each other hahaha

[drycomplexity]

woohoo ballard!

[asianfrenzy666]

Great recording of Child's Play!

[Bendoengbanaang]

sick... just sick...

[tama221]

jeff！cool・・・stunning！

[StKittsDave]

Ballard's so strong.

[RATAFLAFLA]

MASTER JEFF!!!!

[PhiljazzA]

This tune is definetely called 'Child's play'.((; Where could You find 'Billy's Bounce' melodies, harmonies or whatever? I just wonder..

[Jazzboogaloo]

listen to the beautiful music and you hear the charlie parker bounce known as bill

[frappuccinofetus]

i believe the song is called child's play on the cd FLY

[ogulkoker]

This is THE trio!

[Jazzboogaloo]

niceeee, I've never heard Billie's Bounce played like this. I love Fly

[galliraz]

Billie's Bounce ?!?!

[Jazzboogaloo]

yes. listen carfully :-)

happy regards from brazil

[galliraz]

as said before this tune is called "Child's Play" and was composed by jeff ballard. I was of course influenced, I guess, by "bird" just like any other jazz melody since, but any connection ends there..

[Jazzboogaloo]

maybe is remake of billies bouncing

[galliraz]

This a great song and a great group with an original sound and rythmicall ideas. It is good to know this music is being heared all over the warld.

regards from israel. :-)

[tremblate]

Hilarious!

[Jazzboogaloo]

i think maybe it is the bouncing with buds

[Jazzboogaloo]

what is wrong

[PhiljazzA]

Well..I'd like to play with those guys, but I'm entirely sure it's not that easy even if you play something same. And that's because of Jeff (( He's brilliant.. ((

[mateiko]

We need more of this!!!

[StKittsDave]

If i tried to play like that with my eyes closed, i'd fall off the throne.

[JOHNFWEBB]

Beautiful!!Jeff,Bill,Brian,but­ Christ...do'nt forget JACK.

[godswiph]

PLEEEEEASE.... don't forget Jack. Pleeease.

[crustandcrumb]

That kid at the end didn't look too pleased with the performance. I thought it was tremendous. Jeff Ballard has been at the top of my list since... since I heard him with Ben Allison, who, by the way, I'd like to see clips of on Youtube.

[originalgentleman]

When/where is this from?

[GaryStanionis]

I concur. This Trio is outstanding. I just got my Modern Drummer with Jeff on the cover and he mentions Fly and I had to see for myself. Jeff, Brian Blade, Bill Stewart... These are my Heros.

[paradiddle333]

Amen to that

[galliraz]

an outstanding tenorman. thank u for this, please post more videos of mark if you got any.

[westcoastdrummer1]

Killing...

Do you have any more videos of Fly or Jeff Ballard?

[peelandstick]

Jeff Ballard is a super hero on drums! What a great band! Give us more.

Who is on bass? I was expecting to see Larry Grenadier.

[Swunk20]

Chris Lightcap, killing player.
