Metheny, Hancock, Holland, DeJohnette - Jack In

[TheMusicsoulja]

is it true that Pat wears a wig? not that I care, he is still one of my favourite guitarists, it's just funny though coz I've been reading alot about his wig-wearing in blogs.

[smoukondeuoter]

How is possible that every single note Pat plays is so intense and full of emotions ???.... just amazing...

[Tfunkize]

Pat is right this music is something special- and so is Pat !!

[mosilflutil10]

jack sounds f ing awesome

[fdsaw]

わお　デイブホランドがベース弾いてる

[rsm76]

I wish there were more performances like this with Jack.

[gillan5]

Nice music, but once you have listend to one or two songs from Metheney you more or less know them all. He is sounding the same since decades.

[swieca666]

@gillan5 disagree. First of all, it's not Metheny's tune. Second, his Group records are totally different than his trio or solo records. Third of all, have you heard his more "avant-garde" and less-known records such as Song X, Zero Tolerance For Silence or Sign Of Four??

[gillan5]

@swieca666 Thanks for reply. I do not recall song names. I will certainly check out the titles you gave me. I have listened to 4- 5 CD`s over the years and I just find that they all sounded the same. Maybe I am wrong. I liked his playing with Nils Landgren on Jazz Baltica live - its on youtube.

[hankhannaford]

@swieca666 quite a funny comment gillan5 considering metheny is one of the most influential guitarist of all time, who has constantly evolved, and is considered one of the 'go to' musicians for some of the greatest musicians of all time. Me has worked on many collaborations with Garrett, Brecker, Holland, Coleman, Jim Hall, Meldhau to name but a few. He has constantly pushed the boundaries and defined what the guitar can do. Lol!

[livingdollshoppe]

@swieca666 don't waste your time swieca666, anyone that thinks Metheny has sounded the same for decades has not been listening for decades,and knows nothing about Music! I will bet he will site some lame ass METAL guy as his favorite! Very nice of you to educate the tin ear petri-dish!!

[Medjai411]

@gillan5 obviously you only listen only to his one or two songs. you should explore all his albums. he has different concepts for each albums, and he is simply great.

[gillan5]

@Medjai411 I try 1-2 more albums; if they will still sound like California Surfing with Jazz I give up on Metheney. One other thing which for me is annoying: his guitar does not sound at all like a guitar. Mostly it sounds like some kind of sythesizer. People obviously like that washy undefinable sound - I don`t.

[Medjai411]

@gillan5 i suggest u try pat metheny group album or his trio. those are classic!

[gillan5]

@Medjai411 Thank you Sir! _ I`ll do so.

[akv8]

@gillan5 you're talking about his soloing over straight 4/4 .. you should listen to "the way up" album or orchestrion or the metheny mheldau album. oh and also, "one quiet night" if you want something low key. But i mean.. ya if you listen to 3 of his songs out of the thousand plus (probably thousand plus) he has recorded then I understand why you might get the impression that he sounds the same...

[isthereaname2use]

@gillan5 I don't think you listen to Metheny Gillan. Each CD is a progression from the previous. Not one sounds like the other at all.

[casszen]

@gillan5

you my friend are a fucking idiot. I hope that you are but a child. Are you one of these quackados who still believe that the earth is the center of the universe. Your musical IQ=your shoe size.

[gillan5]

@casszen And you my Child should learn to accept other people`s opinions without slaughtering them, otherwise you will never be a real grown up.

And go see a doctor, your aggressivness spills out of my computer. You are a hater, you are dumb and slow witted. I never aggress people on youtube. I just state my case like adults do. And I accept if people really think the Metheny CD`s would sound any different.

[dvdkokoro]

Mamma Mia!!!!

[ju12ver]

I can never get enough of this performance! Thank you for posting :D

[Magamaguitam]

[4difference]

PAT METHENY

[mrgone78]

sounds like mike stern soundchecking in the background during pats interview

[MahavishnuOrchestra1]

this is one of the few type of music that you can you ridiculous sounding intstruments and still have it serious and powerfull. cool combo

[MahavishnuOrchestra1]

pats guitar always reminds me of an eui. herbies the best!!! so are the rest.

[R2D5]

It's wild to hear Dave Holland on electric.

[TheKickassdrummer]

Although it has no hook to it...It sounds like a bunch of people making noise..To me that is. And I know these people are really good...But I really don't care for it

[JeffJefferson95]

i know what you feel: for the first time i heard it i felt like u, but everytime you hear it again its gettin´ better. its probably like a good wine, sometimes the second draft tastes better ;-)

[TheKickassdrummer]

Holy shit, RR gave somebody a thumbs up!!!

[rrdrums110]

Yahoo Jack Is so goood!!!!!

[TheDaco]

Whats the name of the keyboard\ keytar hancock is playin in 4:20?

[drumlinemike]

Roland AX - synth

[rpizell]

casio kiddie 1200

[Nickflatpick]

This miusic open harts ... who is the writer of this song ?

[swieca666]

Jack DeJohnette! He's not only a drummer, also a good pianist and composer:)

[drumnheiri]

Jack is playing a SONOR LITE...great sound...

[jonjonzf]

Ain't got a clue man

[jabf123]

where it was this gig?

[swieca666]

Japan, propably Tokyo:)

[unclejunglebass]

haha dave holland slappin and poppin on da bass. never thought id see that!

[Sic4ce]

incredible!

[lecarreso]

drvitore, is 1990. you can read it in the information. Great performance

[drvitore]

WOW...never seen Holland play an electric bass before...what year did this show occur?

[jedepah]

haha alright, i love all of these guys, amazing musicianship but this is one of the cheesiest things i have ever seen!

WAY too 80's for comfort...the over-produced cutaways to the audience and pat's shirt is fucking absolutely brutal.

[alexi072]

I love pat's tone in this it's phenominal

[doggers1]

Stupefacente (amazin')

[calvinlotz]

I hear Mike Stern in the background. =)

[mrz88]

The beauty of improv is theres never a wrong note. Unless of course the note that comes out isn't the one you meant to play, in that case it can be wrong to you but not really to anyone else :P

[Dalpm]

This version is much better than in cd parallel realities!

I don't know why he used his gibson instead of the roland G-303 like here

[Dalpm]

no words to describe! Thanks

nice girls on 3:26..just an observation

[biotonk]

saw them in toronto and met pat jack and dave backstage ... what a thrill !

[DYNODRUM]

Yes-This is such an excursion back , Seen them in N.Y. at this time 90-91, & also was backstage throughout show.Jack was amazing- as all were ,here , a VERY COOLNIGHT...

[tnsoltw]

thanks for posting, i have the dvd, jerreau's version of spain is great, not to mention this track. jack's playing is fresh and inspiring as usual

[yulelovethebeats]

What's the name of the DVD, please? This is some great music.

[tnsoltw]

live and under the sky 1990

[yulelovethebeats]

Thanks.

[elimenohpee182]

And 1:33 - 1:40 is definitely altered with a little bit of whole tone. Pat Metheny is the man! Even playing out like that, he makes it sound so right lol.

[jazztrumpet87]

what do you mean by altered with a bit of w/t?

[elimenohpee182]

What I meant was his harmonic approach. The phrases he's playing in that interval are very altered compared to the original chord, or chord progression. By altered I mean its not diatonic, or not the given notes of that particular chord.

[jazztrumpet87]

fair enough. thanks

[KindredHyperion]

Loving Pat's glowing hair.

[tomiah2b]

One of my favorite parts is at 1:33 to 1:40...what is Pat playing there...does anyone know? What's his approach, his thinking, is it modal, if so what. It's just a really cool choice of notes phrased in such a tasteful manner. Maybe it's elementary to many others, but to me it's quite captivating. Then again @ 6:29. Really like the melody thing starting @ about 3:00 and dropping around 4:10.

[swieca666]

i think he's playing altered scale on that moment, but i'm not sure. Pat is a musician with unique approach to harmony, melodies sometimes seems so strange, but still beautiful...

[elimenohpee182]

Yeah definitely sounds like an altered scale, if not its definitely heavily altered approach. He's playing off the vamp, very cool indeed. I love it because when they're vamping like that, he pretty much can play anything and Herbie will be right there to back him up, whether melodic or chromatic.

[themattchandler]

i think that his approach is more to do with structures, " playing through the changes that are'nt there" kind of super imposition, there is a really cool book by andrew green called "jazz structures" that touches on this

[madad123]

for those who are reading this and don't know what is meant by altered scale, it is a mode of the melodic minor scale. the seventh one i think.

[themattchandler]

yes, altered scale is definatly the seventh mode of the melodic minor scale

[tomiah2b]

By the way...Thanks for all the excellent comments on Pat's playing here. Been working on the modes of the major, but haven't yet considered the modes of the melodic minor, especially the 7th mode...how cool and limitlessly useful it is. Has changed the way I play. This vid is quite an inspiration as well as all the seasoned player's comments.

For what it's worth, my thanks to all...and a deep appreciation to Pat.

[bigfatbobby]

Does this song appear on a cd?

Felix

[ackerlaw2004]

Jack Dejohnette "Parallel Realities"

Released in 1990 on MCA. You can get it online.

Its hard to imagine but the studio version of this song smokes this version. Herbie does a piano solo in the mid-section, where he is playing that little midi-keyboard here, which is truly some of the best jazz piano I have ever heard.

The CD is a 10/10. If you like this, GET IT.

[ferrismeister]

did this quartet ever record an album?

[swieca666]

Live album, called "Parallel Realities", but this song isn't recorded... some of this concert is on Youtube

[bigfatbobby]

Look at the guy at 4:51; he looks so happy, satisfied and interested! Somehow, that made an impression on me.

Felix

[generatrix999]

Matheny and a dream band.

[agxx20xx]

Ah... My long-held desire is just this.

[logosthedestroyer]

Lucky bastard :D I wish I could find mine on youtube!!

[ackerlaw2004]

Jack IN!!
