Biréli lagrène - Roy Haynes "Autmn Leaves"

[lazarus343]

That stage is awesome

[laughingogliphot]

Pretty cool



[Maherylevrai]

4:40 what a chord !!!!

[jonnyrokr]

@Maherylevrai D major

[scottmorseguitar]

The way he times and plays that first 251 at 1:38 is a heart-jerking moment of music to me. What a great interpretation of my favorite tune!

[daniel101088]

anyone know if that's a zildjian k custom(?) flat ride?.. and why the hell it swings so hard? :)

[OKEKOBEB]

@daniel101088 I think it is the famous 20" K Custom Flat Ride.

And for the magnitude, he is covering up for the bass player to create some ambient that keeps the swing.

[ryancangri]

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­sty!!!

[youngun550]

PHILTHY!!!



[CrAzzyWak]

I've just experienced multiple orgasms.

[Streamline09]

I give Bireli credit for being original in his approach. I'm new to him, so I'm looking for a kind of "swing" feel. He seems to lag behind the beat in a way I'm not used to. I'll have to listen to this some more and check out more of his music to see if I'm right. But I certainly respect his credentials and right to approach the music in his own way, with honest integrity and respect for the music.

@Streamline09 This is niiice, maan. For a BL baptism, check out this rendition of Stella by Starlight if you haven't already. With drummer Andre Ceccarelli

[florafox]

Haha, 4:32 till 4:40 short passage of baroque guitar ! Bireli is one of the greatest living guitar heroes. Autumn leaves has been played a million times before and it is necessary to get new ideas new chords. No problem for bireli. the drums are upper class too.thanks

[nadir6661]

one of the greatests drummers lisedt & learn youngsters .if u wanna go forward u have to go back in time to discover the amazing heritage that those people left to the music so the nu cats can keep it going. ;-)

[anadryantontine]

I know Biréli is a genius, and I love him to death, and I can certainly also say the same for Roy Hanes buuuuuuut. I feel like the first two minutes should have be mixed throughout the bulk of what is a beautiful guitar 'n' drums interpretation of Autumn Leaves. While it's one of those things I love about jazz, being wacky for the sake of being wacky can sound really pretentious.

Thumbs up if you get where I'm coming from, even if you disagree!

[wakanabeotai]

 a very difficult manner of interpretation....drums and guitar...very original and sounds very nice.Bireli did a great job

[Dvareckas]

Super duo !!!

[pissballs]

The first couple minutes sounds like Stsanders dubbed it lol.

[Drumfreke]

Roy Haynes was there at the beginning of be bop, and still sounds innovative today!!! And yea, BL is pretty great too....

[JBWMDR]

i´m sorry, i really like Biréli Lagrène and Roy Haynes, but the first 2 minutes Roy was playing anything but a proper rhythm to autumn leaves! Maybe it was meant that way though....

[Xelanderthomas]

@JBWMDR I'm pretty sure you can count on Roy Haynes knowing and playing exactly what he wanted and meant to play on any given tune. ;-)

[RFranklinCarter]

Very nice performance. Does anybody know where and when this work was recorded? France? Switzerland?

[wallace6969]

Not bad for a Frenchman

[timoonn]

@wallace6969 so other french musicians are bad? Dats the opposite

Bireli is the "spiritual son" of reinhardt (belg)

French musicians are epic

[spacitydrummer4JC]

0:37 - 0:40 "Oh, yes, that's it!"

[hmcyo]

one of my biggest influences

[kzm25697]

cool Autumn leaves!

[w9jon]

i could fall asleep listening to this. So soothing and right- in a good way!! Beautiful musicianship!

[maxigoodvibes]

Birelie fait bien attention de jouer proprement...

C bon putain!

[alexistexias]

great duo

[ironpirites]

I liked this very much. They kind of felt their way into it. I think that's the way jazz in small groups should be played.

Robben Ford said in an interview once that when he first played with Miles Davis he met him before the gig and the only thing that Davis wanted to know was what Ford was going to wear onstage. lol.

[puccini4711]

fantastic performance 2 worldclass musicans,bravo

[HendrixcommaMartin]

God that Roy Haynes swings like no one else.

[timrooney84]

Nearly got to see him in London but Alice Coltrane passed away. He is one of my favourites.

[rusjazzman]

the stage's design is awesome!

[HennoxLane]

mmh, I don't really like the drums... it all sounds like they're just playing their own thing and not minding each other.. Well at least until 3:00 - after that it starts getting a lot better ^^.

[samboadie]

agreed.

[appledecca]

Thank you - Just what I needed to hear ...

[jazzcombo251]

Biréli lagrène has a weaaaak sound.

[mikealberice]

yeah and hes french too what a faaaagot

[MaximusDowns]

@jazzcombo251 lol, Bireli has forgotten more about music than most professional musicians, myself included, are ever going to know

[sandroroj]

bireli ist ein killer!!!!

[Jhd0358]

this is killin'!

[meirrose]

For just guitar and drums, this is amazing! Bireli is a bad mf.

[DYNODRUM]

yes indeed and today NOONE CAN DO THIS W/ THE APPROACHES TO MUSIC IT astonishes me what they need, just to sound so bad....alot to see and learn here for those who can Hear..

[meirrose]

Check out Jonathan Kreisberg and Gilad Hekselman. Those are 2 bad boys!

[Jedum]

could it be the lack of rhythm section that he has? idk, but i think it's great nonetheless

[guycherubin]

i like bireli's chords. that's so godly amazing........wow

[Reiseleitermusic]

the beginning reminds me of the "shred"-series here on youtube.

You know about these? "Santana shreds" and so on?

but cool though...

[bluesman1234xi]

give me a some scotch and a gun. holy fuck

[gleo123]

He is a god with his fucking guitar !!!!!!!!

[fanqueen]

I dont like too much the version that bireli interprests here.

Im not saying that he isnt a good player or nothing. He is terrific, one of the best players in the world.

[YofterMofter]

I agree. It lacks a certain flow he usually has.

[solal71]

Perhaps he plays really Bop in this one.

Leaves the gipsy jazz out.

IN ANY CASE HE RULES !!

[GatoGuitarPlayer91]

looks like a 70's Gibson l5

[marlborobeb]

cel mai mare jazz-man ,al momentului,dupa ....nu se va sti.

[earsoup]

Roy is da MAN and Bireli well ...AMAZING

[Modes9]

This is awesome! I saw a great gig with Pat Metheny and Roy Haynes at the Van Dyck in Schenectady, NY. Since Roy isn't getting any younger and that club is no longer open, I'm very glad I went.

[Diknu]

very good!

[xMiloTheGreatx]

Bireli amazing as always. I saw Roy Hanes a few years ago live. Ive heard he's really, really old but when I saw him, he still rips it up!!!

[doddsalfa]

Roy Haynes will never be old.

[jthemump]

That's what makes it so damn hard to figure out when this was filmed.
