@kaunasprince I know Trane played it as a ballad but nowadays it's usually played as a medium swing tune if you were to call the tune at a jam session. Joe Henderson's recording on his Tetragon album is a good example of the typical modern jazz treatment of Invitation.
@litlewing -i feel you,,, but i didnt write the list... its online... and the first 16 are listed as follows: 1. Louis Armstrong 2. Miles Davis 3. Dizzy Gillespie 4. Clifford Brown 5. Lee Morgan 6. Roy Eldridge 7. Freddie Hubbard 8. Donald Byrd 9. Bix Biederbecke
wonderful feel - great playher - enjoyed listening to this and Chris Botti is a good musician too, just a totally different style going on.... both of great value to their audience.
love their upbeat sound! found another band like this with vocals. retro cocktail culture cool. ck them out. search cinnamon doll jazz you will dig them.
@ledzeppelinrulesya You do realize that Chris Botti regularly beat out Scott Wendholt for the jazz chair in the big bands and the top combos when they were at Indiana Univ. right? Yeah, the Scott Wendholt that is one of the most active jazz cats in NYC. Your ignorance is astounding. Roy is friggin' great, but so is Chris Botti. Relax.
That's not a "beat up trumpet". It's a high end brand called Inderbinen. They make some wild instruments costing $5-10K. However, yes, RH could probably make just about any beat up trumpet sound great.
That's not a "beat up trumpet". It's a high end brand called Inderbinen. They make some wild instruments costing $5-10K. Also, looks like a Monette mouthpiece. However, yes, RH could probably make just about any beat up trumpet sound great.
Roy is definetly a defining voice on his instrument , he's funky and swings like crazy with an understanding of the past present and the future. His playing speaks to way more people than most trumpet players even if they are better technically. The problem is a lot of you view jazz as a competition like it's a sport. It's way more about concept music originality. Miles was definately not the best trumpet player but he was one of the best and was by far the most conceptually sound.
@supermarito79 That's an informed and insightful comment. I think of a player like John McNeil ... technically a very brilliant player, however check out his recent youtube offerings and ask yourself how many people dig the direction he's going in. Roy is accessible AND he doesn't play cliches. Something in his tone is 100% genuine and I admire him for 'going for it' the way he did on that chart. Invitation is not easy (the 2 5 1 minors on the bridge are testing to 'nail')
Roy is definitely a bad dude, although he is by no means a "jazz master".
I can think of ten of Roy's contemporaries who would kick his ass at any given moment but, due to lack of PR are not as highly regarded as him .And speaking of 'jazz legends'- If you haven't seen Miles, Dizzy, Freddie,and Woody LIVE, you wouldn't understand.
@pik1andlik1 Average?? Theres nothing average about Roy's playing. It's funky swinging clear coherent and virtuosic Muisc and Jazz isn't about tearing assholes, that's a real immature statement. If you want tearing assholes or competitvenes go watch UFS or any competitive sport. Gres is a great player too but not as unique as roy. Remember music isn't all about technique.
@abzs2k I'm positive what you are hearing is Pickins tendency to use syncopated improvisation not being off rhythm. though it is understandable that you may perceive that to be off rhythm. Pickens has always felt it natural to use that technique in many of his improv solos! Some people aren't used to hearing it so it sounds off but if you play this style of jazz often it is quite common!
I go to Northern Illinois University and study with Willie Pickens. He is a genius and a true musician. I hope people go check him out beyond this video cuz he's the top Chicago cat and he's killing. Nicest dude you'll ever meet.
@TheSuperthump could be, lot's of drummers do it so that it rings our more, often get chains for necklaces and stuff, another technique is to drill holes in the cymbal and attach some loose screws that rattle around.
@abzs2k I dont think it was unintentional, even if it was, his rhythm swings all the time man, all the time, its logic is asolutely clear to me. You are really wrong if you think he has some bad rhythmic sections in his solo. This specific rhythm-breaking we can leisurely call struggling, but definitely not in a bad way.
@abzs2k intentional or unintentional I'm pretty darn happy with what he is doing there... that's all that matters with jazz no right or wrongs just enjoyment.
Are you kidding me? The piano player "struggles"? He is using the same device Herbie uses all the time where he sort of delays time a second before recovering both time and key. And Herbie ain't strugglin', dude.
Isn't that intro beautiful? It's less than 10 seconds, but it gets Roy to smile. The intro makes me sense that Roy is going to work his magic...which he does!
Roy is a gaint.. Chris Booti is a mouse .and needs to go to a gay club and stay away from real Dallas Oak cliff Jazz monsters like Me and Roy !!!!!! 4 real jack !!!!
lol is that chris botti over there? He must be sitting there wishing he could play like that. JK i saw chris a couple of months ago, and i realized i had never given him a fair chance. The guy can PLAY. At the end he took off the mike and all the reverb, and did an old school duet with the piano player. That put to rest the questions i had about whether or not he still sounded good without effects on his sound. Roy is my boy though.
Yes, the piano player occasionally struggles to keep up with the tempo of the song, especially during his solo. We can all hear it. But we also recognise that this pianist is from the house band and not a regular with Roy.
As for Roy's solo being "weak", I would ask you to elaborate, but I get the feeling that you're just trolling.
@gocards0688 i think that piano player's swingin his ass off...i hear absolutely NO struggle in there; just expressing. hehehe...i've often found younger players who can't express as well as Willie does here criticizing cats who have it; in a few years, i'm sure that kid'll get it, too.
what i want to know is what the hell is the thing with young students in jazz to just get vicious when it comes to others?
@abzs2k Struggles? ( o _ 0 ) Umm...how do you figure Willie Pickins is "struggling" to keep up with the tempo of the song? I'm no music connoisseur, but I do believe that you're incorrect in your assessment.
