dude!!!! excellent cello performance, BUT YOU CUT OUT THE BASS SOLO!!!!! OMG UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ericoschmitt]

@ToxicSpartan94 in jazz, you play by ear and improvise. just listen and play.. it may be hard if you have always played reading, but you will learn...

i can play bass only by ear. i can play flute by ear and i read bad. and i can play cello by reading, and my improvise sucks..

its a matter of what you train more on the instrument

[ToxicSpartan94]

[BigCalm55]

the cellist is definitely improvising over the changes.

[ARCDBEACH]

Wow, it's been a while , yet I see this turned into a capriccio, following a progressive cadence [structure], and ending ad libitum. Who knows if he was 'makng it up on the spot' besides him, Andre, he only knows...

[andreoesguerra]

Sorry, I may be mistaken but from what I know, cadenzas are prepared while improvizations (ad libs) aren't prepared. In any case, with or without the chord progression written for them to read, cadenzas and ad libs do not follow the melody. In this case, I believe the cellist was improvising.

[ARCDBEACH]

Possibly, if that's the case and they have established a 'cadence' perse, then it follows the lines of Ad Libitum, not Improv - meaning no preperation prior to.

[mitchylerue]

the music in front of them is most likely a chord chart from which they see the chorch progression, and from that they are able to distinguish the notes in the scale and therefore be able to acurately improvise... which is what he is doing... clearly the melody is not being followed... hence impro on a well known song...

[ARCDBEACH]

I don't see how this is improv when they have sheet music sitting right in front of all the performers...'cept the drummer. Good cellist though.

great!
