Adam Rogers - Have You Met Miss Jones

Adam Rogers playing a solo over the chord changes to "Have You Met Miss Jones" during a masterclass at the University of Akron on Tuesday, March 10th, 2009.

This video is pieced together from two separate video files I took with a digital camera, and an uninterrupted audio track that a friend of mine recorded, so there's a short blank spot in the video about 3 minutes in, but the audio is complete.

Hey @poparad can you share the sibelius version of this transcription? Thank you for taking the time for transcribing this... as you can see, more than 82k visits means we appreciate your contribution.

@kemilelumina I did the transcription in Finale, rather than Sibelius. I can post that, though.

@Poparad Please do Gent ! Many thanks.

@kemilelumina I added a link to it in the description box.

@ShiffronLandren I'm sorry you have such tin ears that you can't hear that he actually is following the changes. The lines are hardly random, although there are a few passing moments where he plays outside, but in a very clear way that is also not random (at the end of the 2nd A section in a chorus he resolves to B major instead of F major, and which sets up the B section's Bb major beautifully). If you don't believe it, check the transcription. The notes are there, and the changes are there.

You guys DON"T GET IT! Jazz is clearly not jazz unless you eat 3 bananas before playing . You all clearly don't understand that the sauce used on the banana peel DEPENDS on the key you are about to play. (Aebersold vol 34. duh) If you don't squish your foot on the banana peel while you keep time you will never know how to swing. Hence, no banana squishing NO JAZZ! All these new guys have the audacity to squish PAPAYA peels under there feet which is just disrespectful to the REAL jazz artist!

@phenixdagemini I was writing a long answer, and then just realized how stupid I was, discussing music on youtube.... I really love all kinds of music, as long as the players' styles appeal to me. Scofield's does, and Wes' does. And Adam Jones' of Tool does... Enjoy your music (!!! the guys you mention are truly masters), but don't tell people you have "the answer" or that those not in four favor are bad. It's not an objective thing. And eventually have a good day. (lol yourself)

[phenixdagemini]

@JazzInATinCan..evolving,YES!b­ut do YOU know what the meaning of evolving is?If i go see this guy three nights in a row i'll bet you 20 dollars his solo will sound the same every night.plus the shi* sounds like an exercise anyway, so whatever. It's obvious you don't know the meaning of swingAs far as modern.Peter Bernstein,Russell Malone etc have it.DUDE!.whatever.if you like Jassical music it's cool. We'll just come up with someting new for the rest of you to take the "eccense" out of.(lol)

[JazzInATinCan]

@phenixdagemini Dude, you can listen to whatever you want, man. Why should there be anything wrong with the newer guys? Jazz is always evolving. You can listen to all that ol' jazz you like (I do too) but don't neglect the modern ones. Jazz isn't about playing like Wes. Wes played like Wes.
