I've seen this video once before elsewhere. Lester is asking the drummer to play in the style he's used to.
-
Wonder!...That's music called JAZZ!...
-
BRILLIANT .He was an inovator
-
"a little ticky boom-one stick,ya dig".You hear the accentuations then with the stick on the snare.IMO
-
I think he says 'a little tinky boom' and they don't hear what he says so he repeats himself 'little tinky-boom [for] one sec, you dig?'
-
@anicetocecchetti i'm fairly certain he's admonishing the drummer for to many bomb drops. he's asking for some "tinky boom" which is lesterease for simple light time. not sure just what i was able to get out of it.
-
I don't know, after he says it, the guy in the white shirt seems to over to the drummer, and after that here little more pop from the drummer.
-
I think that Lester says to the tech(s) "check your booms"
refering to the microphones on telescoping "booms"
this could be a sound check
-
@anicetocecchetti He said to the drummer^ A little tinky-boom"...

@charliethebirdparker Nope, I don't, unfortunately. However, I believe the rest of this performance has been released on DVD. I don't have the details, though. Happy hunting!

what says Lester at minute 1:08?
anicetocecchetti 1 year ago
@anicetocecchetti No idea. However, my dad suggested it might be "change your bones", "bones" being slang for trombone in this case.
