Improvisation - McCoy Tyner and Marc Ribot

[ulrichellison]

It should be called Marc Ribot following McCoy Tyner



[memochok]

Fuck! 5:10 i never heard better improvisation!

[gomachols]

love both these guys. don't care for what im hearing tho

[StrongHeartLives]

I think in the other 2 atonal pieces Marc is really trying to get more from McCoy than he's getting - even though Marc is over all unpredictable when he plays atonal - he still has a cyclical pattern with his tempo so you can't follow behind to support the style you have to know where his is going to be (not where he just was) -

[gfgroupie]

all i can say is WOW

[rainking81]

Is that a Kay guitar?  0_0

[Skavb]

@rainking81 it's a Harmony Stratotone

[rainking81]

@Skavb Thank's a lot! :-) And also: Chapeau for knowing what it is!

[jazst21]

mr.mark is not helping anyone here O_o

[h0b0ch1c]

Awesome. Love these guys.

[fiddlercrab3]

First version: subpar. Second attempt: INCREDIBLE. They got on the same page and made really incredible sounds. Third attempt lacked the urgency of the second.

[infinitefathom]

really nice. two of the greats

[trufiend138]

i feel as if ribot is a completely different place than mccoy..its akward..

[sevancizmeci]

ribot ...go jump from somewhere

[Gama291]

Marc, you crazy bastard!

Anyone can bring me a guitarist who could face McCoy Tyner with such a punk attitude, and at the same time play such a tremendous music - not against him, not ignoring him, but TOGETHER WITH him?

When the stakes are high, you can always trust this man will kick ass!

[videomakkers]

wow

[gratefuldead33]

you have to remember that a pianist has so much more sound at his disposable from the nature of the instrument. speakvisual has it right

[PlasterPirate]

Is this one of those "shreds" videos?

[alemoon2012]

This is a video clip taken from the studio sessions of "Guitars"

[SensoryOssuary]

you're wrong if you think tyner can't play free. this vid gets off to a bit of a rough start but i think they play together pretty well. very surreal sound.

[speakvisual]

what kills this is that mccoy, while brilliant, employs too much harmony, as if he were performing solo.. in a "free" situation this is the most limiting thing for the other parties, and usually they sound superfluous. too bad cause this collaboration between these great and different players could've been really awesome.

[riseredstar]

@speakvisual yeah sure lol you know better than the guy coltrane hired

[videolover61]

@speakvisual

They did a few takes here...this was not a musical failure, and I think Mark flowed with what McCoy was giving him...

[HolyHansemandse]

What's the little thingy the guitarplayer is using in the beginning?

[NoGoats]

no doubt...maybe an e-bow, but I am not sure...Marc Ribot uses everything to create sounds...he is a truly wonderful musician.

[zzmook]

Um, I love McCoy Tyner, but what he's paying here is pretty safe - common forms, played out harmonic sense. This isn't either of their best work, but you'd get more out of Ribot if Tyner was taking more chances. Marc Ribot is a sonic artist, always looking for something new.

[awesomewelles90]

If you can't hear the atonality of what Tyner is playing then maybe you need to develop your ears a little more.

[awesomewelles90]

McCoy Tyner is brilliant! I'm not convinced that Marc Ribot is that good though.

[eldiokan]

WOW!!!!!!

[Robusto103]

what guitar is that? looks like Arto Lindsay's, just with 6 strings......

[patrickeskimo]

It´s an old Harmony H44, with a different headstock....maybe a new neck

[Skavb]

@patrickeskimo

it's a Montgomery Ward 8379, just like the H44, only with the different headstock

[OrzelBialy616]

oh my god I didnt knew that mccoy make also such good avantgarde music, I heard his only one cd with modern jazz music .... hmmm I MUST check other his stuff than :), thx for video :)

[DailyBrusher]

I like the post-bop and the post-punk together, and I've always loved Marc Ribot's playing -- but I think the main thing revealed here is that Tyner is a giant, and Ribot a curiosity.

[Robusto103]

a curiosity?

[karl198]

Reminds me of something zappa would do :D rly good

[ribotaddict]

Thank you Men, thank you for beauty,thank you for sky, thank you for stars, God is with you...

[videoasst]

I've always loved McCoy Tyner. This a great video showing him improvising. Great!
