chick corea (got a match?)

[PoloABD]

I just tire counting this song at the correct 300+bpm!... planning on actually playing it on drums at some point in the near future :/

[PoloABD]

Anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of the complete dave weckl solo on this video? its cut off at the end.. I'm transcribing it for my uni dissertation..



[PoloABD]

@PoloABD I realise now it must just be an odd number of bars/beats that threw me.

[rotcehaz]

Very young at this time. At this particular time they were very tight. If you listen to this same tune performed years later, you'll hear how the arrangement has changed. It seems that they also play it a bit slower. This version is cook'n. Chic will always be the best !!!!

[swisstripz]

best version on youtube

[lalbruiz]

Damn. I dont´even deserve to shine Patitucci´s shoes...

[utahdrumtech]

Go Screech go!!

[DX7maniac]

If any one wants to know how to get this lead synth sound, i contacted chick corea himself about it and it is a TX816 layering the sounds from banks 2, 3, 4, and 5 taken from preset #20 over sounds from banks 2, 3, 7, and 8 taken from preset #6 on the TX816

[happystance9able]

@DX7maniac You rock. brother! Thanks for that info. I've got an SY77 and am going to program those sounds for it.

[mirokor]

woooooooow gooooooood

[ProMediaCompany]

i think dave fucked up at 8:47 a few bars are missing,and its like that on the tape.

still love it though!!!!

[PoloABD]

@ProMediaCompany Right. Has anyone any clue what lick Dave is playing at 7:47? its like death metal speed and so much power so its impossible to hear what drum is played first/when?! the rhythm sounds like 4 semiquavers followed by 2 quavers (if you count it at the official 300+bpm)

[fredbass77]

this video has changed my life

[utoob4227]

whats with the stupid dancin? lol

[rodmanian]

@utoob4227

The dancers are funny, but not supid. They're doing some great moves.

[utoob4227]

I WANT THAT KEYTAR!!!!!

[dvamateur]

I refuse to accept the term "keytar". This is a remote MIDI keyboard to me.

[AfroRebelSuave]

I dont even got anymore words to say about Chick, nothing.

[Yarden2y]

What a great technique of walking base!

[bassoonguy240]

my god, even the bass player kicks total and thorough ass!

[charlyfariseo]

patitucci! plain GENIUS!!!

[Yarden2y]

even?? O_o

[umbass100]

humanly impossible...

[asdlkfjghklawuieg]

jaja por favor, alguien sabe que tiene que ver el bailoteo gracioso de esos negros con el tema? genial todos menos el guitarrista en su solo.

[dvamateur]

On the other hand, the guitar part is a little mediocre, although the guy is good, I am sure. Chick blows everyone away with his little KX5, and obviously Weckle and Pattituchi smoke too, but is it me, or can't the guitar player keep up with the bunch?

[sherman9009]

i thought the guitar solo was awesome

[sherman9009]

that's scott henderson btw lol

he definitely can keep up with them

[PabloAndresGiordano]

oh i loved your comment!

wanna join my band?

trola

[sherman9009]

JAJAA que haces aca zapato

[dvamateur]

Why this thing doesn't have like 3 million views or something? This music is so fantastic. So bad that mainstream public doesn't have any taste.

[fallinginlove21]

haha 3 million? would it be nice if it was. ...

only 32 thousand people ..

:-(

definitely : low culture of good music.

[fredbass77]

@dvamateur

let them

this is not for everybody

[albanothemadman]

anyone notice how chic corea kinda looks like pedro from N.D. in this vid?

[pownjhell]

I love the henderson era elektric band, he brought a completely different dimension to the band. If only they had merienthal earlier on *sigh*

[oldwarcraftgamer]

1:48 weckl / corea, holy shit :D

[thorns81]

AWESOME!!!

[ReneAristyo]

5:06 is great!

[JabariP6]

2:44 is lovely!

[maruciao]

is he Patitucci?

[waldo2384]

Yeah, Patittucci and Scott Henderson.

[rubendrakkar]

yep its patitucci

[geedogshizel]

This was truly the 80s look how young whekl was.

[weas123321]

Sounds like he hit and and b at the same time with his thumb by accident.

What's with everyone acting like they have 10 000 volts rushing through them? Looks kinda funny, lol

[fluffythebunny]

0:24

LMFAO

[aronizer]

i'm very afraid to ask, but was that a false note at 0:24?

[ilikememusic]

sounded lik he bended quickly on a short note and it might have been a diminished second or something close

[bergerdrum]

Nothing personal, but...Who cares about one note among thousands?

[bergerdrum]

I meant thousands of GOOD ones.

[SharerVideo]

jajajajajajajajajajaja.....

very funny you comment..!!

[0000kinpin0000]

Loving the tags for this one - so true

[monkeyrilla]

dam the drummer's clean

[DrummerInExile]

Pure Wecklness....

[mrdrums38]

that's dave weckl for you brother.

[DmitriMironov]

A Pure Evil :)))

Give me back the Old Electric band.

one of the Greatest compositions Ever!

[freekazoid8489]

as long as we are talking about basses.... you guys are right the tone of the Ken smith is better (by that I mean more original) than the Yamaha... the KS has a nice growl to it, very tasty.

[casperbass68]

I gotta' admit, I like the sound of the Ken Smith over John's current Yamahas, always have.

[Gorgalisin]

but actually, Yamaha sound is more versatile

[casperbass68]

Never, and I mean NEVER wear white pants with suspenders. But my gosh, they are all killin'.

[Purgathor]

Anybody knows what this concert is called ? And if it`s possible to get it on dvd ? :p

[Alvarikoke16]

it´s the best version forever and ever...=)

[monsterjazzlicks]

Does anyone have a transcription of the two UNISON INTERLUDES between the drum-breaks (8:17 & 8:41) ??

Note, the arrangement restates the 'Head' after Chicks solo (once in unison) but this does not occur again elsewhere (between solos) !!! Interesting ?? !!

[fredbass77]

@monsterjazzlicks

i am interested too

so if some one can send me a score please

i will be gratefull!

[monsterjazzlicks]

@fredbass77

i transcribed the arrangement off the CCEB cd of the early 1980s. The UNISION INTERLUDE (between drum-breaks) is one of the most difficult things i have ever tried to notate (because its so FAST, and theres a classic moment where Chick turns the beat around for a split second) !!

[loscraveros]

amazing! the 1:05 part!

[perromanchado]

Lovely. Scott Henderson on guitar. The whole band is hot here.

[ionizacion]

Al bundy play the Bass!!!

[Mopreme75]

tht Ken Smith looks so nice wit John Patitucci

[GalacticWolf]

Same, sounds so much better than the TRB.

[Muffinman1118]

I almost cried when I saw this.

[fredbass77]

@Muffinman1118

me too

after viewing this i pass 4hours on my bass!

[alualuaa]

Patitucci is really killin'! The Coltrane quote is nice too.

[monsterjazzlicks]

@alualuaa

Which bit is the Trane-Quote dude ??

[freekazoid8489]

@monsterjazzlicks hey I would like to know what that Coltrane quote is too!

[B2TheRye]

@freekazoid8489 im a drummer but im pretty sure its at 3:45 when he plays one note, goes to a higher note, then goes back to the first note... then he does it again.

[radiomix]

@monsterjazzlicks 4:10 that is definitly from A LOVE SUPREME

[monsterjazzlicks]

@radiomix Yes you are right, i think the track is called Psalm. Trane moves 4/5 note pattern up and down in tones and minor thirds.

[happystance9able]

@radiomix Wow! Thanks for pointing that out. I think you're right. There are probably tons of little comments in their solos that totally go over my head.

[happystance9able]

@radiomix At 6:06 Scott let's J.P. know that the reference didn't go unnoticed. I also think J.P. was complimenting Chick's artistry when he played that. "Dude, you're the Coltrane of the keys!"

[jschabik]

pure pwnage

[Moog167]

MY GOD Chick's fingers are practically dancing on that keytar!

[jarda1234567]

That intro when chick plays alone is killing

[sherman9009]

got to agree on that one =)

[EyesOnSkies]

Same here :) especially the 0:13 part :)))

[dogmeatone]

when I saw these guys live in ann arbor in the 80's right after the album came out, I immediately broke up with my girlfriend that night afterwards(she went to the show as well) and started practicing my horn. it totally blew my mind the precision, intensity and realization of ensemble it took to get to this point. chick was amazing, pati, weckle, the trio only was like a large group. weckle's electronics board was huge, the whole show wore me out. nothing will compare...ever.

[JC10255]

What makes this Patitucci bass solo so incredible is that he's got this amazing ability to think across multiple bar lines at once. Most musicians who are put in the position of improvising over changes going by this fast (especially bass players), concentrate on each bar line, digging into each chord change. Patitucci's ideas seem to cover 4-8 measures at a time, and he never loses his place, and always knows exactly where he is in the form at any given time.

[iwanttowatchsomethin]

Really this ability is what separates the great players from the rest, for any instrument. The soloist creates a situation in which s/he is autonomous yet related to the environment the chords create, and creates the effect of seeming to generate that atmosphere around his/her lines. Most of us are still trying to play to changes, and rubbernecking them.

[noteworker]

I'm lucky enough to have recorded this entire concert off of the BRAVO channel many years ago. Chick, Pattitucci, Dave Weckl, and Scott Henderson (check out "Tribal Tech"). Frank Gambale replaced Henderson when I saw the band live in Boulder, CO. Absolutely -- almost excruciatingly -- good. They were SO good, that it almost made you want to explode! I kid you not...

[tjomsy]

corea, patitucci, weckel, otkidaju

[TtAbrams]

My God, freaking beasts, the lot of them.

Dave Weckl=my idol.

[dazedandconfucious]

Good stuff. I am glad I found a performance of this on here.

I have yet to discern the purpose of those guys dancing however. Perhaps they are dueling, like the musicians. Better ask Chick.

[brooklyn358]

a good guess :D

[jpetes56]

Right on nordhill92. Each of those guys is a master. Obviously.

[Rikasa75]

As amazing as Dave was back then, it's like he's just gotten better... man; come to think of it, all these guys rock!

[68NYC]

This is Great!!

~Thanks!!

[Dashiznit564]

2:43 is insane how john pattitucci pulls off the keyboard part, i give serius props

[nordhill92]

my dad saw them quite a while ago (before I was born, I'm 15) and apparrently john broke a string on a four or 5 string bass and was completely unphased. all of them are completely amazing.

[jose044]

dude... what a band!

[eternalcolonel]

Who cares about the "guitar player"?

Corea wrote the song.

Corea's playing drives the song.

How about giving him, rather than a sideman,

his due?

[nordhill92]

All of these guys are absolutely amazing and to discredit any one of them by labeling them as a sideman is just offensive. What do you think that Chick would say. I am a guitarist as well.

[GeoTacubo]

The guitar guy reminds me Scritch, from "saved by the bell" :D

[sanchorb]

That is none other than Scott Henderson, when he was with the Elektric Band, before Frank Gambale joined them...both versions of the Elektric band were awesome, too much talent.

[sanchorb]

Goddamn 80´s clothes...those suits look like they have the hanger still placed on the shoulders...

[MacDrumpet]

Hi! Who is guitar player? Where's Gambale?

[funkmaskin]

the guitarplayer is Scott Henderson.

[blackcat1982]

man i just love it!!!

[dazedandconfucious]

hey patitucci just played right off of "a love supreme" at around four and a half minutes in.

[rkfromchi]

Thats what makes you a consummate musician. I saw it too!

[nanymoa]

Incredible. That solo from Patitucci is amazing. In those times he was not using his signature bass from Yamaha, the TRB6JP, but that Ken Smith bass sounds great and plays like butter!!! Greetings from argentina.

[rkfromchi]

He wasnt endorsing Yamaha back then. This was around '86. He was endorsing Ken Smiths around the time this and his solo album came out.
