Amy I know this is an old video but it’s a great one! I was fortunate as a horn player to work with a fabulous trumpet player in my youth who phrased fantastically and I got most of my sound from him! The best example of phrasing I know for swing is listening to the saxes play the Basie arrangement of All Of Me - never been bettered IMHO and the whole band is so amazingly tight. Those rising 8th note lines are incredible.
Amy -- I just discovered your videos today and I am delighted. Having spent my career as a teacher (and principal), I am always pumped when I run across a natural teacher. You have such a combination of deep knowledge and polished skill, good ideas to share, neat approaches to sharing them and a very engaging, relaxed charisma. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to allow us all to benefit from your skill, knowledge (and enthusiasm).
Holiday breakfast! Just sing your phrases! Phrase on! The lines are huge also for my sax playing! Your right swinging hard is the game! YOU ROCK!!! Watch the road! Aimee!
Love love love this.. my sight singing ear training teacher put us through the ringer doing this.. it use to terrify me being put on the spot in class.. nut now I see his teachings as the core skill of being a true musician. I'm so stoked about your channel! Thanks again!
Her vibrato is lit. Especially at 14:37 but also it unintentionally gives the end of other licks extra flair because the vibrato makes it go up a whole step (two chromatic notes)
"Please give up the booty" 🤣🤣🤣 Whatever helps you remember the phrase I guess. But I really wanted to hear you sing that.... that wouldve been hillarious. Lol
I just discovered you and found you were one of the first people in my 20 years of playing bass, that demonstrated exactly what bebop lines are, I didn't have such a clear image for so long until now! I will definitely be checking out all your lessons, I didn't think vocal lessons would help my bass playing so much :) so, thank you! :)
A very valuable lesson. You help me understand phrasing better. Many times I've learned all the right notes and still couldn't get it to sound right. It's all about growing a third ear, isn't it?
hello fine madam. im just starting out playing and love your videos it is helping me so much. this video in particular is extremely helpful in constructing things for my i been playing each line on guitar and then taking each of the licks you present here and combining them all together in order to see a larger formed structure possibilities, i am very grateful for your work and demeanor thanks so much!
for me what is so helpful in combing these presented licks, is that it gives me a way to see how arpeggios and melodies connect togther within the confines of a ii V I or a ii in some instances. this is really more than words can say i guess haha
these licks you give here show me what emphasis and notes belong on the off beat and which notes have strength on the on beats, next what ways of combing scale fragments and arpeggios sound most musical. these things been hard to figure out until now. its nice to be pragmatic with these things thanks so much!
when i first watched this video away from my guitar i got the intuition that yo were "secretly" signalling in the video to learn each one of these but then for next step connect them all together in a way which makes sense, but in different combinations over a repeating ii V I in C and a IIminb5, V Imin in A min, im not sure if there was a secret message in there to do that, but thinking THAT there was, opened up a door for me which has been frustrating until now, and that is how to pragmatically make real music out of the knowledge of music theory, i am grateful for all you are doing here.
I am grateful for you you have been doing, because for me i never grew up hearing jazz or knowing about it at all, i grew up around rock and metal and played metal for years, later on in life i came across ken burns jazz documentary and imy jaw dropped this music spoke to my soul i didnt know it existed that music 100 years old was better than music today even early louis Armstrong west end blues destroys the pop charts, i immediately spent years studying history of jazz any resources i could find and now after 5 years of studying jazz music theory just from any resources i could find in order to wrap my head around the structure, i am only just now starting to try and play it ( about 6 months of playing it) your material mean so much to me since i cannot go back in time and play jazz since a child, im studying jazz everyday all day for years and now finally allowing myself to play and my intent is to see the larger framework of the language such that i can eventually speak fluent with it. your videos are helping me so much thank you.
haha, that 'please give up the booty' really fits and provides a decent phrase articulation I'm going to now try to inject that into every single lick I can
I think your neighbours are thinking "whats up with this woman in the room next to us, did she get some kind of seizure?!" :p anyways, i try to watch at least one lesson of you before i go to sleep. Ba da doo dee doo da n dee n doo dah!
I’ve been wanting to try my procaster on guitars for a while but as a composer who doesn’t own a single amplifier or even a guitar I don’t even get to! Have you tried it on bass at all? That’s a video that could be super interesting since the procaster has a really nice proximity effect, paired with an LDC or kick drum mic on a bass cab it might make something great. Also what made you switch back to logic? I thought you were a studio one guy?
Nailing the intuitive methods again, brilliant. I use you as an example when teaching others! Also, could you email me the phrases? :p this compilation in particular is great! :) I'll message you!
Hey Aimee, again great vid. For some time now, I have been thinking about picking up private (vocalist,singing) lessons again. I took some on beginners level for a couple of years, then studied on my own. Now I see myself on an ambitious amateur level, what is in your opinion important when looking for the right teacher? As a student. I don't want to be a virtuose artist, rather concentrate on my personal style, bluesy bebop and vocalese. Plus refining the basics, working on general Jazz Knowledge and skills as a framework. Have you made a vid about that tpoic? Maybe consider sharing some opinion on that in the future? Best regards and happy new year.
I've heard that "modern" rhythms were influenced by trains and machines and such, but this video makes we wonder if Morse code also played a role. di-di-dah, di-di-dt... Morse code is also full of information and communication, just like music.
hey Aimee! thanks to this video I nailed the scat over Shorters' Black Nile and I made it to the music college as a singer! and also as a bass player (decisions, decisions, decisions). So thank you very much, you're a wonderful human being. Plus I have this one little question for you: how do you scat over Giant Steps? I know it's crazy but just imagine how lit whould that be. Again, thanks! :)
Aimee Nolte Music oh my, that whould be so awesome, thank you! and I'll make sure to record it for you as soon as I'll have it down, that is if it's okay with you
Stupid question : Can I only use ta's and da's when singing those licks? I don't really like skat in general so I just wanted to know if this way of singing was okay.
Aïda Lahlou a lick is a common and popular jazz phrase, it's almost like quoting someone else's phrase. And a break can be a part of the melody that everybody needs to play along. Hope I helped on time!
unfortunately, it's 17 minutes you may not have realized when you said you may have to sing it like Louis Armstrong, that Louis Armstrong was the number one recording artist of his day, and that regardless of whatever his voice sounded like he hit the pitch pretty much like you do but you should not degrade the idea of the tone as compared to the pitch, because that is really not cool, I doubt that you have sold more records than Louis Armstrong, What do you have to say, you need to check yourself baby

"He didn't make them sing in tune - not going to happen". That cracked me up!

Aimee I have learned more valuable knowledge and skills in your videos than months of lessons. You are a gifted teacher, thanks for all you do!!
So glad. Thx for letting me know, Marissa😍

Holiday breakfast! Just sing your phrases! Phrase on! The lines are huge also for my sax playing! Your right swinging hard is the game! YOU ROCK!!! Watch the road! Aimee!
Richard Rodriguez thank you so much, Richard! Appreciate that.
Hi Aimee! Very helpful! Thanks for writing them down for us syllables and notes! I loved how you emphasized the accentuation.
accentuated the emphasis? ;)
great phrasing!
Love love love this.. my sight singing ear training teacher put us through the ringer doing this.. it use to terrify me being put on the spot in class.. nut now I see his teachings as the core skill of being a true musician. I'm so stoked about your channel! Thanks again!
+Brad Allen awesome Brad! Thanks!
Your video is so enjoyable to try playing my sax with by ear to match your licks. Thank you. Your feel for the music is amazing.
Wow! This is phenomenal! Apparently I saw this before?? How did I not clue into this? Thank you please do more! Maybe you have!
You're a great teacher, Aimee. Many thanks.
Great video. I love to see teachers that are enthusiastic about their art. I think you'll do alot of winning. Thanks...
You’re fantastic Aimee! Rick Beato turned me onto your channel and I’ve been diggin on it for a few weeks. Learning a lot. Thanks!
she is great! here's something different if you like jazz lessons th-cam.com/video/vmKqlVr7No0/w-d-xo.html
Oh! It's so amazing thing that you're saying about!!! It is very very useful video!!! Thank you so much)))
Yeah I found it! Thanks Mrs. Nolte!
You have a great voice, Aimee!
Her vibrato is lit. Especially at 14:37 but also it unintentionally gives the end of other licks extra flair because the vibrato makes it go up a whole step (two chromatic notes)
Your videos are great! I love your enthusiasm. Happy Holidays! :)
NathanClearyMusic .co.uk thanks so much, Nathan! Woohoo! Lol
"he didn't make them all sing it in tune. "Cuz let's face it. Some of those guys,...wasn't gonna happen!"...
Funniest thing I've hear all day.
+assignmentearth 🙌🏼😂
You do great Aimee!
What a great video! Soooo great to hear you work out the phrases. Helps a lot!
"Please give up the booty" 🤣🤣🤣
Whatever helps you remember the phrase I guess. But I really wanted to hear you sing that.... that wouldve been hillarious. Lol
Love this application 🎶🎶🎶🎷😎✌🏽
Just discovered your channel. Such a pleasant style and not to mention really clear and informative.
Muchas Gracias !
Red Clay is a great one!
You have an incredible gift!
Matt Webster thanks so much Matt

Matt Webster that's so nice of you. I'm so glad! You're very welcome. Tell your friends and that will be thanks enough for me!
Holy Cow....."the Lick". Classic 🎶🎶🎶😎😎😎😎
A very valuable lesson. You help me understand phrasing better. Many times I've learned all the right notes and still couldn't get it to sound right. It's all about growing a third ear, isn't it?
Herman Schryer lol maybe so! 🤣 I'm glad it was helpful. Don't grow that ear though. You'd look silly.
Happy Holidays Aimee!!

Hilarious but very useful!
I googled and played ‘The Lick’ for my wife. She observed that it’s the Wilhelm Scream of music. LMAO!🤣🤣🤣
You taught me something. She’s absolutely right. Lol
Great!!
haha, that 'please give up the booty' really fits and provides a decent phrase articulation
I'm going to now try to inject that into every single lick I can
Kevin Itwaru 🙄❤️😂😂

So much more fun than suffege!

Jerry Comer in his Jazz Language book refers to the booty one as the bebop lick. He gives examples and a list of chords to use it over.
Jerry Comer
Last try Jerry Coker not Comer
I don't even like jazz, why am I watching all your videos? :)

Max Aggropop good ideas. For now, email me if you'd like to set up a Skype lesson with me. :) aimeenolte@yahoo.com
Why not... I am looking for some general assessment, that should work. Do you mind late hours? I am in Europe.
I like to sing licks in chromatic solfege. - teh la leh sol do. - it helps for transposition
Is there anybody better at teaching jazz phrasing? I really think Aimee is the best.
+LeopoldMidas 🙏🏼🙏🏼😍😍
I've heard that "modern" rhythms were influenced by trains and machines and such, but this video makes we wonder if Morse code also played a role. di-di-dah, di-di-dt...
Morse code is also full of information and communication, just like music.
omg, SO SO SO helpful. so clear. so encouraging ... big thanks. [i heard Godfather at around 16:23...lolf]
Encouraging Aimee!!! Are you familiar with Beegie Adair ?? Keep up the good work! Best Always, JP
Sweet!!!
Just the way you express yourself reminds me of Christopher Bill lol
Second lick ive heard called Indiana bebop
Fatsacks Allday somebody also said it's called "jazz with David baker"
hey Aimee! thanks to this video I nailed the scat over Shorters' Black Nile and I made it to the music college as a singer! and also as a bass player (decisions, decisions, decisions). So thank you very much, you're a wonderful human being. Plus I have this one little question for you: how do you scat over Giant Steps? I know it's crazy but just imagine how lit whould that be. Again, thanks! :)
+Ray Rhythm Congrats Ray! I'll make a video for you about scatting over Giant Steps soon!
Aimee Nolte Music oh my, that whould be so awesome, thank you! and I'll make sure to record it for you as soon as I'll have it down, that is if it's okay with you
Stupid question : Can I only use ta's and da's when singing those licks? I don't really like skat in general so I just wanted to know if this way of singing was okay.
Use whatever feels comfortable for you. I like to keep it to very simple, and unintrusive sounds.
bedroom! lol :)
you're too hip it hurts. you set the bar very high
16:06 The first 3 notes sounds like the song from The Godfather, aren't they?
There's a reason the call it Bebop.
Sorry question from a neophyte: what is a lick? And what is a break?
Aïda Lahlou a lick is a common and popular jazz phrase, it's almost like quoting someone else's phrase. And a break can be a part of the melody that everybody needs to play along. Hope I helped on time!
Dear Kevin, thank you for your explanations. So that means you can use the same lick in different songs?
Aïda Lahlou course, as long as the notes are correct in the chords you are going to play it. That's the tricky part.
Orb a los 1:03
shraw
I fell love with you Aimee
Aimee...this is so Hot,,,,thank you
jennifer aniston you look
:-)
you have no attack... zero zilch nada
