@winterkilldrummer23 lol nearly 80% of what I listen to is jazz, and I've been playing double bass for 7 years. I guess tone is subjective, but it's clearly colored quite a bit by his pickup system and for the worse IMO.
@OP you seem to have listed the track Butterfly as Gretchen's - while the vocal are her's the original composition is Herbie Hancock. Anal maybe but all props to the master.
Yes may be I should spent more time listening to this kind of music.:)
Though I mean that the rhythms she sings are okey but when she is singing I have a feeling that she is before the beat without a connection to the real pulse of the music.
I really liked her band. The piano player's approach to this music is more familiar to me.
@artdivine Yes, you're hearing the pianist playing both the upbeat (just before) followed by the downbeat. Think of her as singing that upbeat without the downbeat. But I think they'd say it's a 'feel' and not analysis. I just know the first time I heard a Brazilian trio, with the bass player always just ahead of the beat and so amazing to my American ears it was like the world opened up. For a change, listen to "Still" video by Gretchen - seems easy but it's in 11. Stay open, keep listening!
@artdivine Yes, because she commonly utilizes Brazilian and African rhythms, which from your comment, you may not be familiar with. The rhythmic concept here is highly developed, but can't be appreciated if you're expecting the emphasis to always be on the beat. In her music, it may fall just before or after the beat, with different rhythmic patterns played against eachother, and 5, 7 or even 11 beats per measure. If you're open to it, try listening closely to Braziilan music. You may like it.
@jordangz98 You're right... let's give a hand to God on piano, God on the drums, God playing bass and God at the microphone. And of course God for composing the tune.
Aaron Parks was ill and Gerald Clayton too or why did Taylor play on this record? I dont know, but otherwise i wouldnt have heard him. this guy is awesome!
Gretchen is one of front-rank jazz singers on the planet as shown here. She was voted the #1 Rising Star Vocalist in the 2011 DownBeat International Jazz Critics Poll and charted #9 in the established category too. She's a winner.
I just heard Gretchen Parlato and her band do this same song on One Shot Not in Paris with Meshell Ndegeocello, Manu Katche and Pino Palladino joining in and it was completely amazing! I hope they post the performance online. But this video is awesome as well. I love everything she does.
To elaborate, the article mentions Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter with their full name in earlier paragraph so I feel that it's necessary to fill the context that is missing on the quote. Also, keep in mind other people who may not know anything about jazz are reading these posts too. Either way, aren't you judging people and being presumptuous by calling me "prentious asshole" for that?
End of discussion! Don't push your opinions at me! You like her then that's all good and fine! You stick with that and I will stick to my own opinion!! Actually you should really consider how much of your opinion is relevant because you seem to base it on what Herbie and Shorter said about her is that what led you to your opinion of her because you apparently are not listening to her sing! and yes I know who they are, no need to write first name in parenthesis! You pretentious asshole!
@TheOphelia88a Oh wow, I don't know what prompted you to have this kind of response. But you should relax... I didn't say anything about "Judging people", All I said is that I separate my like/dislike for my music from judging if it's good or bad music. They are two very different points.
It will also help if you stop taking things so personally and resort the name calling. The reason I put the first name in parenthesis has more to do with formality than insulting you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh wow and you're one to talk! Juding people? You did exactly that with me! You assumed to know me and my background..."your comment speaks more about your ignorance about music than anything else... looking at your channel it seems like you're not into jazz, that's ok,... when you probably don't understand half of the things that's happening musically here. UMM YOU'RE WORDS NOT MINE! and maybe you need a reality check, but that's the goal of youtube people watch videos and judge what they see!
There is fine line between "not liking it" and judging something as good or bad, talented/mediocre. In my experience I tend to appreciate music better when I suspend those kind of judgements(or prejudices), because it's those judgements that tends to get in the way appreciating something for what it is.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There is so much more I could say here, but let us just agree to disagree! I would like to add that you insulted me as well from the start, but will only cause further banter. I apologize for calling you a moron! That was uncalled for and unfair of me because you stated your opinion!
@TheOphelia88a I am sorry if I came across as being presumptuous or rude. you have every right to say you don't connect with the music emotionally, and I don't think the comment would have been so controversial if you stayed at that. But I am not sure how anyone can go from that to claiming so and so is untalented or mediocre. There are tons of music I don't "get".. sometimes it takes years for me to realize what's so great about it.
and for this video I was not really getting that in her voice! I listened to it several times and also watched other videos and just was not feeling it! I thank you for your passionate comment and I'm sure Ms.Parlato appreciates it, but I gave her a chance and was not impressed with what I heard.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Everyone has their own personal taste in music and art in general! Certain specific qualities that each person listens to or looks for that help them decide whether they like something or not! You don't have to have a musical education in order to express the way you feel about art because when it comes down to it, it is purely emotional! Yes you can talk about rhythm, style, arrangment all that, but if its missing soul then I'm sorry it doesn't do anything for me!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Again I stated my own opinion and I'm allowed that! I wouldn't waste my time explaining my reasoning behind it to a person like you nor do i have to! What would it matter anyway, you have a stubborn personality it seems and already have a strong opinion about the video so I am not going to even bother!
I didn't say you weren't allowed to state your opinion, I am equally allowed to tell you that your opinion shows ignorance about the music they are playing.
I was open enough to explain to you the subtle rhythmic nuances in the music after you called me a "moron". Y you responded to my criticism about your musical understanding with plain insult. And now you are telling me it's a waste of time for you to explain your point.. so, who is the stubborn one here?
Both (Herbrie) Hancock and (Wyane) Shorter are already fans. Hancock has said that Parlato has a “deep, almost magical connection to the music,” and Shorter has said “in an inconspicuous way, Gretchen plays the same instrument as Frank Sinatra.”
I hope you realize how much your opinion is at odds with expert jazz musicians. I am not saying you have to like this music, a lot of people don't but I highly doubt any good jazz musician will consider this "mediocre".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
excuse me, but I have my own opinion first off and also I have a bachelor's in music and used to sing jazz so for you to assume anything about my background without knowing me is just plain stupid!! secondly you are a complete moron to assume anything by my page and I insisit that I don't know anything about music or what i know about music!! Maybe you should stop watching the video and take a moment to actually listen to what's going on OR ACTUALLY MY ADVISE TO YOU IS LISTEN TO MORE MUSIC!!!
@TheOphelia88a well if that's the case please tell me what's so mediocre about this music
As far as I can tell the song(from what I can tell) is mostly in 7, but there is a lot of cross-rhythm going on. The first part of the vocal is the 6+8+6+8, solo piano part is 6+8+8+6. It takes a lot of talent to be able to play these kind of rhythm effortlessly. I can understand enough about jazz to appreciate that.
Bachleor of music.. oh great.. like that means anything.
There is a reason why people like Grethen Parlato and Taylor Eigsti are where they are in the music world and working with cats like Joshua Redman and Eric Harland(I hope you know who they are, if you claim to know anything about jazz), and it's not because they all look pretty and have everything handed down to them.
@TheOphelia88a I have my opinion too. Your opinion suck, and you are a mediocre singer who are just bitter about someone else being more talented&successful than you are
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ummm i don't get it! the band is mediocre, the singer is nothing special! Put a pretty face on anything and it sells! So many talented musicians out there who can't even cut a break and people like her have everything handed down to her! Music now a days is all going down hill!
your comment speaks more about your ignorance about music than anything else... looking at your channel it seems like you're not into jazz, that's ok,... but it's sad when you label these people mediocre, when you probably don't understand half of the things that's happening musically here.

I didn't know that I had never heard of her until yesterday in the car....The great DJ Rodney Franks from KUVO Jazz 89 out of Denver played her rendition of "All I Can Say"...I was floored.
Now I see her doing this....She does "E.S.P"...etc. Unbelievable stuff.
saw her at the Detroit jazz fest last year. definitely pushes the limits of rhythms and can sing in tune. more than i can say for a lot of singers these daze
I saw her in London and she was stunning. I agree with the other commentor that it was hard to listen to anyone else after that. She is becoming the most important vocalist of our time. No one does what she does.
Yesterday I didnt even know about this girl, now I feel like the most important thing is the world is to get me her albums. Gretchen Parlato and that amazing backing band just gave me a mind-blowing piece. This was so beautiful... Jazz, soul...wow
that pianist. oh goodness all of them are amazing, really. but if i could have anybody's voice in the whole entire world, i would want gretchen's. and 5:30 is just amazing.
precious day lights your way rest your wings stay awhile you're the sun in my sky butterfly you don't know the peace you bring you show me the secrets and the ways to love every moment of the day and flowers you kiss all come to light soaring wings rainbow waves touch my mind be so fine precious day lights your way rest your wings stay awhile to give all the love we knew to see all the light that we can see and teach all the children not to lie and maybe one day we'll fly
@Myoungejoe Agreed. As good as Mark is, Eigsti really blew me away with that solo. The whole song is fire, and I dare to say better than the one on her album

Wow. A new, young singer who is completely comfortable with rhythmically complex arrangements and can sing in tune? She is a diamond.

@OLugs Well said, she is a breath of fresh air, she exhibits her own vocal style, not copied or repetitive.

I saw her in London and she was stunning. I agree with the other commentor that it was hard to listen to anyone else after that. She is becoming the most important vocalist of our time. No one does what she does.

Yesterday I didnt even know about this girl, now I feel like the most important thing is the world is to get me her albums. Gretchen Parlato and that amazing backing band just gave me a mind-blowing piece. This was so beautiful... Jazz, soul...wow

Whats all this talk about Mark... sure he good but.. what about Eigsti?? he's lightning. you can barely even see his fingers when he solos 3:16
Myoungejoe 1 year ago 3
@Myoungejoe Agreed. As good as Mark is, Eigsti really blew me away with that solo. The whole song is fire, and I dare to say better than the one on her album
