jazz d-bag sick piano chops youtube thread

awesome that there is footage of that ^^^^

Yeah. Not so much Art Tatum footage out there.

No youtubes, but I've been into Horace Tapscott, Joe Bonner, Mary Lou Williams, Dollar Brand, Mal Waldron, Bob Neloms, and Roland Hanna.

Tapscott and Brand are both music magpies. Their playing sometimes wanders, and they like to weave in different musics and modes into their improvisations, but Tapscott is more "classical" and Brand favors blues and spirituals.

Neloms has a tight, spidery style. Precise. Wish he recorded more.

I really like Williams' 60s and 70s stuff. Everyone who likes jazz piano should listen to Zoning.

Weird, I was just listening to Zoning like an hour ago. Great record.

Always found it random that she put out records on folkways, wonder what the back story is.

Unrelated, I'm a huge stan of the Mehldau solo on this vid (comes right after Redman stops stupidly squeaking and squawking around 5:12)

I'm really digging this Bobby Few album right now. he's best known for his work with Frank Wright, and I guess he's sort of like a freer/more chaotic Jaki Byard? shame this has never been reissued

huh, didn't realize this thread was on I Make Music

Probably did that because of the "chops" element, sorry.

Also, I can't see any of the videos right now except yours. Either they are taking their sweet time to load or they are gone off the internet because of...

you can see the video URLs if you go to preferences and uncheck "show images" (though it looks like the videos in your first couple posts have been deleted)
