Real music

[DjprofesserK]

gotta be like my favorite studio session in my playlist of studio sessions

[kailuabeach1]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this DVD! UNBELIEVABLE! Herbie Hancock is AMAZING! I will never forget when my Fundamentals of Music professor made us watch the entire DVD in class. He sat in the front seat pointing out specific information asking questions to all of us. I learned a lot from him. Every musician involved with this song was BRILLIANT!

[DarkeningSkies1]

Herbie's eternal youth is remarkable. The only other jazz musician who has stayed this physically youthful is Roy Haynes. Amazing.

I love how, everytime the camera's on the percussionist, he's waving some new crazy contraption past his array of condensor mics whilst turning on his little swivel chair.

[BawbTheRevelator]

Just watched this wonderful 2006 Paris jam with Herbie Hancock accompanying Sting on the latter's standard "Sister Moon" together with a brilliant Benin guitar accompanist. Astonishing. But the more knowledgeable comments below seem to reflect similar impressions. I'm very grateful.

Well if you notice at 1:22 the score says 6/4. It is a fun time to play because it just feel kinda unnatural at first. Beautiful song and amazing people playing on this

[gaddmatt]

@mdrummanWS The difference between 6/4 and 12/8 is mere interpretation, and the two can easily comingle freely without being considered metric modulation. The choice for 6/4 by the arranger (whether it was Sting's original choice or Lionel's choice) likely had to do with the idea of a quarter-note pulse instead of an eighth-note pulse, which would make sense considering the broken/syncopated baseline.

How on earth do you count this? time signature that is....

[MidasWouters]

@laughingFallApart its just in 4

[hamishbendir]

It is not in 4! it is in 12/8 1 n 2 n 3 n 4. Most of the stuff from Africa swings at the n beat. Some musicians here call it the now beat. Anyone who's been to Africa would tell you that we can't count at all, which is true. However, we have a huge sensibility and feel to the now beat. You would call it the up beat, but for us it is the most real now beat.

[psychofunksoldier02]

One of the best songs ever, and one of the craziest grooves too!!
