Wayne Krantz, Keith Carlock,Tim Lefebvre - Marciac 1999 pt 2

[notseymour]

Meshuggah introduced me to these guys



[rintintin7529]

@notseymour A guy with terminal diarhorea in New York who was stuck in a lift due to his big hump introduced me to Meshuggah and they introduced me to a transvestite called sydney who liked to pee outside taxi windows at republicans introduced me to Krantz. Networking is so important.

[nortuber]

Amazing, is there a high quality avalable? I've got a decent quality bootleg I recorded at a concert I attended in Oslo with the same outfit.

[LordHines420]

this is better than a death metal concert.

[dimmeldesign]

@LordHines420 with the exception of Meshuggah...

[LordHines420]

@dimmeldesign ahh yes.

[dimmeldesign]

@LordHines420 Wow...you didn't shoot that comment down! I thought for sure talk of Meshuggah would be pooped on around these parts. Listening to them gives me an equal high as Krantz, yet it's COMPLETELY different music.

[LordHines420]

@dimmeldesign MEEE shoot down a meshuggah comment?!?!?! dude.... meshuggah are my life.

[dimmeldesign]

@LordHines420 well then it's nice to see a meshuggah fan also in the Krantz world.

[LordHines420]

@dimmeldesign thanks to fred letting the name slip in that article.

[dimmeldesign]

@LordHines420 oH YEAH!!! I remember reading that back in August thinking that was rad.

[jwright123456789]

6:28 is freakin' brilliant

[toothdds]

Wow. Refreshing.

[manifestgtr]

this is by far my favorite krantz lineup...so much feel, personality and chops

[haiyamashitadesu]

たまらんね～

[IncaRoad01]

This guy has re-awakened my desire to play guitar. His playing is just beyond what most guitarists contemplate: play with your mind, with freedom and complete improvisational expression ... and it's brilliant.

[rg2027x]

What a trip...

[AAAARRRRRRGGGGG]

that's not whippersnapper! these song titles are incorrect... nonetheless, wayne is a monster. going to see him play this thursday at 55 bar. stoked as all getout.

[bluedoss]

@AAAARRRRRRGGGGG

what's the actual title of the song they're calling whippersnapper?

[paisteguy799]

carlocks ghost notes fill the perfect gap in the music

[willbilly2fistmcgee]

Getcha groove on !

[meccaollielord]

afternoon youtube, can anybody tell me what kit carlock uses i know its yamaha, but is it a signature or something.....? any information would be very much appreciated. cheers!! and enjoy an amazing bit of footage, blimey!!

[meccaollielord]

@meccaollielord seems all i had to do was the most miniscule research to find out. For anyone thats interested he currently uses Yamaha Phoenix/PHX kits.

[Xelanderthomas]

Wow, he and the music his group puts together reminds me of the kind of impression Miles made when put together that group with Tony Williams, Short, Hancock and Ron Carter. Talk about dynamic!

[playon51]

Nice to hear a jazz player who is not afraid of a little twanginess now and then...

[calzonecrusher]

I had no idea music like this even existed. Super f*cking sick

[chungiemunchin]

I would have liked to have been in NYC on the very first night Keith Carlock played his very first licks in public in NYC............GEEZ..........w­hat an exciting player.........as are all in this trio. Being a drummer myself, I am enthralled with Keith's style and finesse. This is such an early tape of Keith in his career.............at least from an NYC view. I know this was taped in another country but I am referring to the time period in this band's life.

[Grillmouth]

so apart from RA de dakaa dak. the ring modulator is a fairly usless peice of eqiupment?

[edmayle]

@Grillmouth i think it does re da dekee dek aswell ;)

x

[larkydozer]

Keith sure got a lot bulkier since then.

[pulsating123]

oooooooooooooooo

[jtropeano]

wayne and this band are absolutely unreal

[ericlarkins]

my God this drummer is so kick ass! The whole band is :)

[stargate669]

I cannot see the drummer kicking his own bottom in this vid or anyone kicking their bottoms.

[southboundtraveler]

ftw!

[DavidAlanRogers]

Can anyone tell me the chord progression that starts at 7:09 and ends at 7:24?

[marcocosmic]

sure..... it sounds like the 3 main forms are on the b, g, and d strings w/ an open high e. the first chord is an Eb minor triad (1st inversion) then a G maj7/F# no 3rd (f# on strg 4, open g then d on 2nd strg fret 3) .and then a perfect 4th interval of g# and c# forming a C#minor triad in the 2nd inversion w/ the high e ringing out. pretty sure that's it but if if it's wrong i apologise.

[stargate669]

If you're wrong you should be sent to Guantanamo and labelled as a terrorist. Under the patriot act G Maj7/F# with no

3rd threatens democracy and is an act of terrorism. He's using a ring modulator too which goes against HR 666.

[marcocosmic]

great thing about music. anything goes. but since the information shared concerning the previous question IS correct. then that could be labeled "whatever". the humor is great though. thanks bro.

[abstractlogix23]

The first studio recording from these three guys are coming in August 2009 on Abstract Logix. This is one the best instrumental trios out there

[mrbateman00]

I love @ 9:20 Wayne looks like Garth from Wayne's World.

[stargate669]

It is Garth from wayne's world if you look closely you can see he's shrunk his undies in the wash.

[Elfelizkamacho]

my favorite jazz guitarplayer!!!

[pipi333]

What`s the effect used from 6m30?

[mrsanbro]

Not my cup of the.... gillar den "gamla" jazzen. men smaken är ju som baken delad.

[seamuslowe]

Check out my old teacher, chris montague, with a band called troyka.!

[mrkilljoy8]

certain guitar sounds made by wayne krantz will kill kangoaroo rats and other lessor mammals

and they deserve to die.

[seamuslowe]

This is a fucking insightful idea man, i approve.

[stargate669]

dude what have you got against Kangaroo's and rats? The latter have served you well in the Whitehouse for years.

[startDaemons]

@mrkilljoy8 kangaroos are marsupials not mammals

[G303]

@startDaemons Yes, they are marsupials, as they complete their development outside their mother's belly, and inside their pouches (marsupium), but that doesn't prevent them from having to feed from mother's milk, so they are definitely mammals too!

[startDaemons]

@G303 I concede, turns out Marsupials are an infraclass of Mammalia

[JustusFriedolin]

@mrkilljoy8 i roared

[rintintin7529]

@mrkilljoy8 What have you got against Kangaroo's?

[yehmj92]

Does anyone know the title of the track that begins at about 1:30?... I think the title shown on the screen is incorrect and I'm desperatly tryin to fond this song... Thx see ya Dave

[giordashio]

It's from his first album Long to be Loose. The song is called "What they were written about". The titles of the tracks on that album are arranged so that when you read them through it comprises a paragraph describing his approach to music. Pretty sweet!

[yehmj92]

Thx for your answer dude!

[giordashio]

no prob

[Zappafan1980]

Wayne Krantz is now my favorite Jazz Guitar player

Before him it was

David "the Fuzz" Fiuczinsky

from Hiromis Sonicbloom

Check Hiromi Uehara out if you dont know her

[monkeywithsticks]

whats the second song called?

[middlebit]

I just became a fan from watching that clip!

[IncaRoad01]

HOW on Earth does someone compose music like this? Something else.

[kennywayneRO]

wayne krantz > radiohead

[dangomles]

wayne krantz=wayne krantz

radiohead=radiohead

period.

[IncaRoad01]

Yep - agree. Don't hear any similarties at all ... not even slightly.

This is incomparable ... for all the right reasons.

[leetheviolet]

krantz = jazz experimental

radiohead = pop

[pipi333]

mmm, I guess that`s such poor definiton. Both are a lot more than that. (I think)

[bodingtons]

the 7:09 melody is amazing

[drosshaug]

During this interview Wayne make it sound like this is something new....a new style....or something....well...go and listen to recordings of old Brand X..they did exactly the same...

Its absolutely nothing new with this music..though..its cool..groovy..and great playing....but have been done long long time before..

[Saxyman14]

I don't listen to anything Phil Collins had to do with.

[larkydozer]

This isn't much like Brand X at all, but if you haven't heard Phil on the track "Nuclear Burn" by Brand X, you're missing out on some great drumming from the 70's.

Keith Carlock is just amazing in this vid.

[ocdrumboy1]

na not really homey... brand x is great. but the way these guys play together rythmically and tonally, was definatly something new around 1997-99. these guys change tempos and all sorts of interesting ways of new creations of a groove jazz approach! word!

[Ang3lus2006]

the thing about Wayne is he that he plays guitar differently, he removed all scale-approaches, "boxes", modal shapes etc from his head, he invented his own style of playing, actually for the first year in berklee he was gigless cause he coulden't play that well after reinventing himself. he approaches the guitar the way a piano player would. he would look at it as a box of notes and make up chords and phrases as he go along dependent on waht he wants to play at that moment.

[Ang3lus2006]

you would never see his voicings being utilized by someone else, he always plays something different.

his book, an improvisers OS, outlines his system, it's really hard for anyone who approaches the guitar in the way most people do. but if you manage to grasp the concepts, your world will be blown away.

[nicodiablo]

This is NOTHING like Brand X in any way

[brantan84]

just look at carlock's trad grip.. my godddddddddddddddddddddddd

[Fishies125]

Actually that's wrong. They have the names wrong. Most of the heads come from Long to be Loose, Your Basic Live and a little from Greenwich Mean.

[SindriMar]

Does anyone know if any of this material has been released on a recording? I really like the tunes here,but as far as I know, they are not available on any of Krantz's solo albums. I recognized the 'whippersnapper' title, but I guess he changes the tunes a lot, because everything is so spontaneous.

[Saxyman14]

2 Drink Minimum and Greenwich Mean have these songs on them. 2 Drink Minimum is with a different band though.

[3rdsne]

I'm gonna have to look Krantz up, on the net. I'm interested in the device he uses here to replicate the computeristic sounds on his guitar. That's interesting.

[Fishies125]

Mooger Fooger ring modulater

[3rdsne]

Excellent ! Thanks for the insight, Fishies !

[morrisoncode1]

these guys are the best combo...check out shotgun face...

[EqualSQL]

Damn this is so FRESH and original. Wayne is the most ferociously original player I've ever heard..and I'm a huge Scott Henderson fan. These guys get off their asses and take such risks in their music..Thank you God for such talent. Fucking awesome!

[haraldtheman]

very beautiful and great guitar playing

[150929]

karlock=energy

[wanquarta]

Thanks for posting...this is great! I first saw keith carlock at a steely dan concert

[lowercase123]

when it comes down to it (keith carlock is my fav drummer btw), this trio is SOOO FUCKING AMAZING.. Just the technicality of all their songs are intense. this is NUTZ!!!!!!!

[wanquarta]

Maaaan...this guy can shred. I know he wants to sound like "himself" but this band sounds alot like Mike Henderson's Vital Tech Tones to me.

[anobiumpertinax]

You mean SCOTT Henderson... and, I think it's something different.

Anyway, both are great guitarists!

[Fishies125]

Completely different.

[ocdrumboy1]

they are just going for different things... im sure they have appreciation for each other. as well lots of people appreciate both and all musicians... just depends on what really hits your soul deeply. wayne and the boys are deeep!

[sixtyfive75]

wayne krantz is awesome in fact the whole band is but has anyone noticed how much he looks like garth from waynes world or is it just me???

[guitarwolf108]

whats that effect he uses at like 6:31?

[bgtocak]

Saturn 5 Ring mod

[yaniktop]

That effector might be the reason why Scott Henderson named his song "Saturn 5" from the Rocket Science album.

[houseofcoffe]

sounds like an oscillator

[johnielsen08]

awesome chordal work, sweet rhythmic changes, this is a tight video

[stockfootage59]

The song at the end of this segment is giving me goose bumps. When he repeats that theme late with the bass just alternating 1/5, it is sublime. This is a fantastic video.

[stringrip]

You can hear more of this sort of music on radio PBS streaming on web.They have weekly fusion show called "BITCHES BREW" . Can't give web adress here , but do google search on "pbs len davis" to find it . They may have interview with Keith Carlock on it soon.

[FoxNewsLies]

That is not whippersnapper

[Petaflom]

WHOA I definately did not know how old he was. Jeez, I thought he was like a young pup but according to this vid he's lke 51 by now!

[stringrip]

Well, he has been playing quite a while (even played with Steely Dan) , so not surprising he is 51 . But everyone is getting older , John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham are 65 now , Robin Ford is 56 , Mike Stern about the same ...... time keeps slipping into the future ! .

[webstercat]

Yes time goes on, no pun intended. The only person who never gets old is Steve Morris. I saw his with Deep Purple and he looks the same as he did when I saw him 30 years ago with the Dregs. It was freaky! Don't care for the band but he was amazing.

[ricaard]

You mean Steve Morse, and I agree... I kept getting confused on that live CD with the Orchestra, because they kept referring to a Steve Morris, who at the time I believe was the Orchestra guitarist playing along with Steve Morse, one of my all-time fav's...

[takauya]

i dont know, but he attracts me...

[Otisjake]

Unbelievable...Alien music

[guerillaresponse]

exactly...alien music...something totally new. Can anynone name anohter musician or band who sounds like them> They are the real deal>

[Fishies125]

Nope, Wayne Krantz is competely unique in just about every way.

[LMDAVE29]

Sounds like Greg Howe's band.

[F1Fanatic]

Not!

[benesh]

He is absolutely unique, if I were to think of someone as sui generis i would throw out Nels Cline, he's done some nice work out on the west coast.

[imloki420]

oz noy..kinda. really great and up and coming..

[emgcarra]

It is the other way around...Noy is in a kind of Krantz thing....!!

[sukopjoe69]

I love all three of them,they are amazing together.

[nf314]

holy shit dude... the tone at about 6:30 is freaking crazy awesome sounding once they start locking it in!

[maarz12]

WK -one of my favs for a while now!

[guitarzin]

very criative, lot groovy...

one of the best players

[Fishies125]

Ha! THE most!

[Jockobass]

Krantz is certainly one of the most creative musicians nowadays. I love the way he play and his grooves. Thanks for sharing the video.
