    Check out Eldar Djangirov, especially his Straight No Chaser take with Roy Hargrove at the Blue Note.

    He's pretty ridiculous

  • Who can play piano this well today? This guy has chops to burn!  Back to the woodshed.

  • Some serious bebop vocabulary going on. You can never go wrong with Bud!

  • @roquefort88888 And that's real genius: the ability to pack a ton of musical "nutrition", if you will, into small spaces...one person might play 100 notes, the other 10, but if they are the right ten notes....that's all that matters.

  • @nicodagger

    Precisely.

    Like Miles said of Rodrigo - it's "concentrated melody" - the more you do to it, the less it becomes.

  • 131st liker :) That's right! Can't resist old BUDDY here!

  • @roquefort88888 I'd rather he play fewer notes and say more....Miles Davis expressed more musical richness in five notes than most trumpet players could express in a thousand double-tongued gliassandos...or whatever the fuck they think is impressive...

  • @nicodagger

    Heh... does he have anything to say?

    Mofo's double-tonguing parallel ninths three times a second and you want him to talk at the same time... ; )

  • @roquefort88888 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!! Just tonight I was ont he bus and these college guys, all musicians, were sitting across from me, and one guy, a trumpet player, went on and on about "the greatest trumpet player in the world", a Russian, because the guy could double-tongue octaves really fast and play really screaming high, and I thought "well who the fuck cares???? Does this motherfucker have anything to SAY"???? So thank you for making this important point !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @samwise1807 : and that's.....cubed
