Wayne Krantz, Keith Carlock,Tim Lefebvre - Marciac 1999 pt 3

[PlymouthVT]

That double time at 2:23 is some hot ass shit. Is it just me or does Carlock

walk among the greatest?

[paisteguy799]

@PlymouthVT he does, no one plays like carlock...you may not like his style, but no one comes close to imitating his style, he really has his own thing going on with all the ghosting and over the barline stuff

[johnp162]

WOW!!!!!! really nice,streachybendygroove-strum­malicioso!!!

Why the fuck isn't this guy more famous?

[sieuminh]

@CakeDestroyer

I guess no one gets famous playing this shit ... although they might go to heaven later on LOL

[ceyhanb]

is his fretboard different than the usual strat?

[JonP1961]

that phrasing at 3:27-3:30 is hot.

[IncaRoad01]

Wayne K: "I wonder if I'm old enough to be valuable?"

Answer: Yes ... PRICELESS

[bec1022]

Not sure if the title are correct on these tunes.

[chordchemistry1]

this is so good I might flag it as inappropriate!! ; )

[IncaRoad01]

The name of the song is AFKaP

[paulo101]

@IncaRoad01 this isn't AFKaP it's Three Pager.

[culpritto]

if only my life was more like 1999

[monkeywithsticks]

keith's snare work pwoooooooaaaaahhhh

[wahmyboot]

Definitely one of their best.

[clovis2012]

[culpritto]

3 coolest guys on the planet

[thirtystories]

wat the.... Killer !!!

[Lifesucksdie123]

pleated pants

[Holdsyfan]

I cant believe, I saw him live!!! It was like multiple orgasms for 2 hours!

[Ableem05]

this is, how you say?... incredible.

[paulo101]

Check out Keith playing the shit out of that cymbal from about 2:33... awesome.

[Jaspaahh]

just amazing

[gottagetadep]

thanks for posting. Great musicians all of them. Keith Carlock looks so young here!

[juanpa0007]

He painted his pickguard from white into black... NICE... And nice music... That's musical high level... outstanding!

[Grillmouth]

but the pickguard!!!!!

[gerryguitar]

astonishing...

[boiledrootbeer]

Why does this not have more views?

[Skiptracer1981]

because everyone´s off gettin brokencyded.

[boiledrootbeer]

What does brokencyded mean?

[bec1022]

I am speechless as to how perfect this all seems...sooo organic...fuck yeah!!!

[funkyleo1973]

There are no words to describe just how good this is but i'm going to have a try anyway. Genre defying, genuinely original, inspirational, i could go on........

[satyajitsahu]

Grrrooooovy! Happening!!

[fender1325]

Such a wonderful groove. That main part is a dead knock out. Anybody know what song this is? I downloaded 2 drink minimum's afkap if thats what it is and it doesnt sound like this.

[jtropeano]

that's the whole point. each piece is improvised around a groove, or a form, etc... so every performance is completely different. absolutely incredible!

[fender1325]

oh I understand that, I guess I just wish that one specific groove with the chords was kept as a mainstay in the song because its just that good

[barbeq67]

the part with the chords is called three pager on the Your Basic Live cd 1, don't know why they called it afkap

[peazor3030]

Absolutely beautiful.

[MusicalManchild77]

Naturaltoby - I totally agree with you. The general music listening public suffers from complete Plot Loss and is Utterly retarded. I consider myself lucky that my Parents raised me on Intellectually Superior Music and I understand it's value and Beauty...

[paulo101]

I just noticed the credits... Brian Keith Carlok

LOL

[naturaltoby]

Superior musicians like these dudes are never appreciated in the U.S. except by other musicians or knowlegeable listeners...........Krantz, Henderson, Landau and many more...it's kinda sad......and it pisses me off!!

[digimaton]

maybe, but what effort did this NY based gig make in reaching a wider US audience during its 6+ year together? maybe it's the size of the US that stops a combo like this touring, and perhaps the market simply isn't there. Maybe it has less to do with lack of appreciation and more to do with the economics of the matter. Carlock looks like he's getting plenty of appreciation now, topping the MD readers poll again.

[philateliceun]

I blame education. Everybody can sing. Not everyone can sing good but everybody has the ability to sing notes. It is programmed in our brains. If you speak you use certain intervals and that is all you need to know. If they just spend more time on music at school, like a real class people would become more aware of the greatness and beauty of music. Every human on earth has the ability to produce music without any more knowledge then is programmed in them. It is sad so few really use it.

[DrummerInExile]

Man! I miss this trio! So much better than his new one i think...Keith is insane! I love his style! And Wayne's the BOSS! His style is so....awesome! fucking sweet stuff!

[digimaton]

the Last Night at the 55 Bar with Cliff Almond sounds pretty good to me, that's another guy that deserves more attention.

[DrummerInExile]

true, personal preference i spose. saw the new trio at brecon jazz last year, they're pretty aamazing still, but just i love keith carlock as a drummer and its just like RAWR :)

[digimaton]

well, when Greenwhich Mean came out it took me a while to warm to it, as I had been listening to so much of the Goines/Danziger line-up, but now I love this trio, so yeah it is a pity it's all over, Carlock is fantastic, and I love his time playing, I just find his soloing kinda weak, musically, compared to Danzinger and Almond.

[DrummerInExile]

I know what you mean about his soloing, but his playing in general is quite original, when i first heard it, i was like woah! so fresh! they're all amazing drummers anyway.

[culpritto]

digimaton, is it possible to catch Wayne playing 55 now? i thought he signed off in 2007. i'm gonna be in NY in mid august and dying to know if i'll be able to catch him there.

thanks

[paulo101]

This is some fresh stuff.

[Zappafan1980]

I first heard Wayne Krantz play on the Tal Wilkenfeld CD

he plays very good on that one even better than Michael Landau

he is a very good improvisational guitarist

[crobins333]

if music gets any better than this someone let me know

[guerillaresponse]

These guys melt the ice caps.

Krantz, Carlock, and Lefebvre are playing at Sullivan Hall on the 25th of Feb

[carlasecret14]

Refreshing and plus!

[abacoon]

Superior

[jputterman26]

Wayne Krantz is a motherfucker on the guitar, and when he plays the role as a supporting musician he shines, making the entire group sound better. He is nothing but a master!!!

[PhillyFunker]

OMFG I can't get enough of it! mind bending shiz!!!

[rhythmsync]

My favorate guitarist-

Pure inovation!

[doomguy132]

im pretty sure this one is called "three pager" not afkap.

[henhog1]

anyone know what the songs called?

[Saxyman14]

I'm going to Venture a guess at Afkap... since it said it on the screen. But, that could be a mistake since it sounds nothing like the Afkap from the recordings I have.

[fyrwyrstrings]

About as good as it gets, too much man!

[TweezerRepriser]

The best wayne krantz groove of all time

[bec1022]

However, I am completely for the exploration and progression of this style of improvised music. It's an introspective style as he said. So to be true to the concept of this music, a player has to dig deep and develop their own style with the same spirit in mind. Hopefully, it would something completely different and if an artist is being true to themselves then I think everyone would appreciate that much more.

[bec1022]

Yeah totally Will Ferrell...........but Lefebvre is not clowning around one bit. Krantz is such an inspiration. Please no generic imitations. Please!! lol "Why would another grown man try to sound like another grown man." That's a good quote.

[Saxyman14]

Every time I hear this song it's completely different. it's kind of like that with all his songs actually. and when I say "Different" I dont mean it's like most jazz which is heavily improvised and made up on the spot. I mean, the melody is different. Incredible

[XxgibsonLPX]

i love keith at 2:22 he looks so cool but the bassist looks so retard...anyway the groove is insane!

[Fishies125]

Haha Will Ferrell.....

[mrfish60035]

recently saw the trio at the knitting factory, twas a mind-bender

[twirlyboggs]

i just out something....(lik anybody wants to hear..)

but here goes.....

wayne krantz's music for me is the connection or Bridge from memories to ideas ( OCCURENCES to IMAGINATION )

wow - this stuff is FULL of life-

wow

[smlurn]

He came up with all the latest wonders at his old age, what we need now is young chaotic jazzmen progressing his ideas. That's progressing, not imitating. Hooha.

[KDFrieds]

I always have noticed a large usage of Sus 2s and 4s in his playing. Its a very unique approach in how he places them. Wayne your the man!

[Fishies125]

Ya. Adding to that his frequent avoidance of resolution makes for a very "un-triadic" approach which makes his playing sound unconventional and unique. Of course, there are other factors, like his use of open strings, 2nds, 6ths, 7ths, etc.......

Great stuff.

[kennywayneRO]

it's a rare jazz guitarist who uses open strings

[ClintWillDie]

Jazz guitarist?? I don't think that he's a jazz guitarist.

[blougui]

He is Jazz fusion. His Style is Jazz merged with rock, blues, and funk

[Fishies125]

But somehow different.

[udderhippo]

He says in the videos, he's not drawn to the language of jazz anymore. As well as saying he used to play like Metheny & Pass.... I don't understand the need for rigid genre names anymore. People ask 'what does it sound like?' - you just can just point them at a youtube clip. Pre-internet, you'd have to rely on some critic clumsily attempting to describe sounds with words, hence genres. His style is how it sounds. Just listen.

[Fishies125]

Well said.

[fiddlercrab3]

Well said, udderhippo. I will start using this tactic more!

[johnielsen08]

I totally agree with both you guys. What a great sound. His chordal tendencies fit perfectly with his tone as well.

[bilgemonkey74]

This is soooooo cool!

[timpricedrums]

Wow!!

[stockfootage59]

this video series is blowing me away. So beautiful and tasteful and it grooves so much.

[JohnnyGillard]

Will farrell on bass?

lol.

[Fishies125]

Ha! I thought the same thing!

[TriadicMovement]

He does play a mean jazz flute

[Fishies125]

Will or Tim?

[johnielsen08]

No, Will Ferrell is busy playing drums for the Red Hot Chili Peppers

[BATCH420]

He seems to really love open strings and minor 2nds. My love for them has also grown, due to him mostly i'm sure.

[cbazzpastorious]

xuxa se le desafina el bass

espectacular

idolo wayne

[camichitravia]

lindo y bello muy creativo camichitravia

[Fishies125]

¿Qué el camichitravia significa?

[DrShrinker]

Yo Keith! (What's Matt Damon doing on drums?)

Stupid question: are there any albums/videos with this lineup (besides the Modern Drummer DVD)? The chemistry between these three is unbelievable.

Thanks.

[delliejonut]

Yeah actually theres a cd called "live at the 55 bar" or something similar. It's not on amazon and the cd store I called couldn't order it... so I'm not sure how available it is.

[Fishies125]

Go to Wayne's website.

[drewbud315]

really awesome stuff there ! great chemistry between the band members aswel. tre cool

[Fishies125]

Ya I don't know why they did that. Afkap is from 2 Drink Minimum, and it's a completely different tune. Infinity split is different too. On the original Infinity split, they play pieces of track 2 from Long to Be Loose. On the supposed Infinity Split here they play part of track 4. On your basic live, they play those parts on on the tune "two". I don't know why they had them mixed up haha, but it's a great video anyway.

[G303]

Well, I've often seen TV production staff making many mistakes like this on this kind of documentary and/or live concerts (specially with foreign artists). They usually change or misspell the song names (sometimes for all songs), or even worse, misspell the artists' names. It's certainly due to their lack of intimacy with the artist work.

[G303]

Add to that Wayne's common practice of sometimes not even naming (or putting temporary names on)the new tunes the band is playing for the first times (probably putting definitive names when the cd is about to be out). Also, Wayne chooses names that are far from obvious! :D

[Fishies125]

Ya and sometimes, on his realeased albums, I think he names the improvisations rather than the composed parts.

[spektor88]

The video refers to the song featured here as "Afkap," but that's incorrect. Actually it's the "Three Pager" -- you can find a version of it on Wayne's "Your Basic Live" CD (2003).
