Oh wow, I have not heard this since ......I mean real music. But wait, have you checked out his sound studio above, okay he is a Doctor of music of his craft, he earned it should of had gold yrs ago. Do you know there are so many others like Herbie and better, that he listened to and worked with that never got recongition? My people, so talented and yet so much wasted true, talent.
The instrumental section, entering in from 2:20, is just SO damn SEXY! I mean, the chords and progressions run together in such an ethereal way that it's really amazing that human beings can produce music that seems so unreal! Kinda the way Herbie's solo in the middle of "Butterfly" just laced it *smh* I can only hope to play just as well someday...I am inspired right now! ;)
i was just checking out the jazz liberatorz and i was glad to see that after moaning about the poor youngins that are stuck with that top 40 crap has some that open their minds to whats good
Herbie is THE GREATEST..this dude is beyond genious!!! I love the way Kanye and other artists r reaching out to him since he won the 08 Grammy, but if I was famous I would have been reached out to him.
it anit about them being the same Herbie is A genius Kanye wants to bring the flava of herbie and other greats to create his own brand and bring back the music that is unappreciated by many
whats he doin now. wow most kids wouldnt know he just won a grammy because they to busy listening at no talent dumm music(well not music) like do the holle berry song
wow. sa-ra creative partners sampled the hell out of this one for 'fantastic vampere.' i knew they were good, but not THAT good..herbie is truly the master. one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century...or ever
NOT Voice + recorder = Vocorder / They DON'T RECORD!!! They encode the voice (or other sounds) onto the synth (or whatever's being used as the carrier)!!!
He's a true legend in the sense that he simply hasn't STOPPED since the 1960's!!! Started with acoustic jazz, played with Miles, created the genre "jazz funk" in the 1970's, pioneered vocoder in jazz, then moved back into acoustic jazz with various projects including the one that one him his latest Grammy. Always touring and playing, right at this moment.
no one paints like herbie...

not a talkbox he's playing but a vocoder so it shouldn't be in the talkbox tag.
anewgroove 3 years ago 6
You're right but I think people who like vocoders might also like the talkbox ;)
But yea Imma put vocoder as a tag as well though.
