Billy Higgins one the best drummers ever!

@letsrunbike

To relate to this great music you have to put everything aside and meditate on it. Jazz is music that hits the soul, nothing like it in the world. The more you listen, the more it penetrates the spirit. Go for Brother...

[lomascampante]

@letsrunbike Amen to that man

[CaptainJazz92]

[yarpyarp85]

billy higgins solo at the end of part two!

[yarpyarp85]

best shuffle ever

[Jazzanswer]

@yarpyarp85

I think a shuffle rhythm tightens everyone up - compared to a straight-ahead 4/4.

That's the result of the material - trying to swing a pop-rock song.

Nevertheless - Billy Higgins is a well-spring of joy.

He loves playing so much he transcends everything.

[bobjazz11]

@Jazzanswer

Interesting comment ...

Who here is 'trying'?

Bob

[Jazzanswer]

@bobjazz11

All the soloists are trying their best.

It's just that a shuffle rhythm, with its constant thumping on 2 and 4 is tighter than a straight-ahead 4/4.

4/4 is much more flexible and gives the soloist more breathing room.

And this tune does not lend itself to much creative improvising either.

[bobjazz11]

@Jazzanswer

I think I see what you mean...

The A section sounds like a I VI II subV (IV with 9th in bass) to me which I would have thought was adequate for improvising over.... but then that's only my opinion.

I just don't hear anyone 'trying' in the sense that they're having any problem with it ...

But perhaps you don't mean that ...

I find the shuffle works well for me - especially in hard-bop - I'm thinking here of much of Horace Silvers early material for Bluenote for example...

[Vicfirth5bb]

@bobjazz11 are you guys from Berklee?

[bobjazz11]

@Vicfirth5bb

Not me - i'm from the UK (Liverpool) but live in the States now ...but I do have an MA in music studies from Liverpool University.

I replied to Jazzanswer because I don't hear what's going on here as just a 'shuffle' and I was interested - I would only use the term 'shuffle' for styles like the 'Chicago Blues and thus the playing of drummers like Freddy Below. 'Shuffle Beat' is a bit vague fof me here

It's not a big deal for me - I was just curious.

Vicfirth ... Cool name :-)

Bob

[AsnaLHermite]

Diggin' this.............

[adeduction]

Yea it was. That thing he did in solo at around 5'55 that caused Billy Higgins to smile over at him in pleasure & joy - I've never heard any other base player play that 'thing' before & I've heard a quite a lot of base solos...

[vtownkid44]

[LeGall1989]

It was Lee Mogan on trumpet?

[mahoose6]

No, Lee Morgan died in 1972, this song was written in 1976.

[johnb696]

The smile on Billy Higgin's face says it all. And what a badass arrangement! Great stuff!
