Not quite. I meant that it's clueless middle class kids wasting everyone's time in music, including their own time, with expensive instruments bought by indulgent and maybe tone-deaf parents. It was social class comment, not a generational one.
@drwinkle101 it might make sense with most kids that play classical and jazz, but thats only because most of them don't understand where it came from and how to groove on it....and because it will shortly die out soon once my generation finally gets some inspiration
I know for a fact that Mingus,the composer of this song,would go insane at you for such a comment. If you knew anything about music you would know mingus was well known for shattering the boundries of "Jazz" and trying new things.
Actually, at no point is there a timpani solo. The percussionist is using mallets on his drum set, a very hip idea. Maybe YOU should listen to jazz, particularly Roy Haynes. He does that a lot. Think before you post.
.... Bionicbianchi.... you are a hater... It's seems as if the teacher hasn't really taught the tenor kid or any of them how to break into these changes... I don't know about the mingus all solo at once when one kid doesn't really know exactly how the changes work. But I hope they aren't Seniors in High School.
the intersting thing about these changes is i just play a blues over them and not really think about it and still make it sound good, casue it sounds like you are doing all of this oustide of the changes stuff. give it a shot
Why post this bollox?!
Smart prick kids get all the advantages and still sound like shit. No soul, no rhythm, no muscles.

What will die out once you get inspiration?! The playing of great jazz tunes? Not likely. What on Earth are you talking about?

Great song. I'm playing bari in this song. The concert Eb to Bb to Db and up to Ab is the part I hate most haha.
