This interview is badass. Everyone should know someone like him these days especially. Dudes start talking about jazz like somone that should work at Space X or something. All this stuff came from the ghetto and it was transmitted from human to human . Don't forget that.
Was jazz not derived from classical music? I would think a lot of musicians learned to read and play instruments by ear too and changed blues and classical into "jazz". Just because "real" jazz/black jazz comes from where ever it comes from doesn't mean that is what it is. Chicago blues was played/invented by primarily southerners who relocated to the city, but the music must be city blues right? Those guys were doing Robert Johnson style, but electric, with a band.
@@benjohnson4810 I think the meaning of the post is more about not getting too academic with jazz. There are alot of ways of thinking about music theory in general and the whole idea of jazz is the freedom to harmonically change things on the fly, to improvise. It belongs outside of classrooms it cant really be taught like that. Jimmy touches on this in the interview about how he grew up playing and guys would have different names for things before everything came so standardized, like sears and roebuck referring to rhythm changes
In short: no. The history of jazz goes back primarily to New Orleans Black horn band music, ragtime, and blues. Some classical harmony got in through the side door by way of its influence on the Tin Pan Alley songwriters, but it's not a foundational part of the DNA of jazz
Every time i watch anything with Jimmy Bruno , I learn more useful practical shit in 10 minutes than a whole afternoon of random fishing for licks on YT or subscriptions i have.
Jimmy is on my "Top 3" list of favorite Jazz guitarists. Every note he plays seems to be the perfect choice at the perfect time...awesome!
Thanks for doing this Dennis. Jimmy is a great story teller, and boy does he have great stories.
Just watched the intro again. Love Jimmy’s reaction. “ Pretty good, Denis…Shit.” 😂 Denis is the man!!
This was GREAT! Jimmy's a great player, I love his music and his stories are hilarious, especially the one about Buddy Rich, and him telling Jimmy. "Don't play no Berkeley scales here." I think it was Buddy Rich. I watched EVERY video Jimmy made during covid.
He's amazing. Just found him tonight.
I laughed about the “gig from hell”! 😂 I had a nearly identical nightmare. I got called for a guitar trio gig by a drummer who was absolutely clueless. First tune, I said “bossa nova” and called Wave. The electric bassist thumbed through a Real Book and pedaled on a D while the drummer played a polka. The gig went downhill from there! At least I had my own amp!
Jimmy and Denis, the two men most responsible (along with David Hamburger) for saving me from the nonsense I read in books and the bollocks talked on forums. Thanks guys, super looking forward to this. All the best.
Everything Jimmy says just makes sense. I love the way he reminds you that you don't need to over complicate everything.
Proud of jimmy Im from South philly I consider him a National Treasure
Thanks for this, Jimmy and Dennis. Jimmy is a true master and has a great sense of humor. ✌️
Jimmy is THE guy that got me into jazz, the first jazz player that I heard that blew me away in my teens.
I saw him play Giant Steps on his old 7 string Benedetto, and from that point on I was into it. Jimmy has ridiculous chops and tone, he's still my all time favorite jazz player.
Terrific playing from both of you!
What great playing by both! A treat to hear Jimmy speak - and great questions posed by Denis.
Love this interview!!
That insight was exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Love Mr. Bruno! Thank you Dennis. You always have the best people/musicians on your channel!
Good job Denis! Jimmy great as always.
i could listen to this dude for hours. subbed
Love this one! 8:17 "E7 with hair" 🤣 Jimmy is a monster (in a good way) with so much jazz knowledge. Thanks for the vid. Love those chords at 10:30. Golden. And such a great story-teller!
So glad I found this - thank you for posting it! I studied with Jimmy years ago in Philly. I think back on my lessons with him all the time :)
Thanks, Dennis and Jimmy!
Wow! What morecan be said other than just plain wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this Denis. Great to hear Jimmy's stories and hear his playing 🙏🏾👍🏾👏🏾
Great video with Jimmy Bruno. Thank you kindly for sharing. 💯
Beautiful is all I can say. Jazz like I never heard quite like this before. Truly original and soooh sweet.
This interview is gold! Jimmy is a Jazz genius and outstanding musician!
Awesome video! Loved it!
Cool interview with a masterful jazz guitarist! Intelligent analysis of how music has evolved and changes along the way.
I've seen a lot of Jimmy vids and everyone brings tons of wisdom just from him speaking off the cuff.
Really enjoyed your opening jam. Thanks boys.
I really enjoyed this, thanks.🙏
Great session!!!
Great interview!
I was teaching at that college at the time (not music) and Jimmy & Jack's Saturday morning workshop, sponsored by the Interlochen school (that's where the "bucks" were $$) in the auditorium was a highlight of my concert experiences. I got to talk to them outside during a break. Awesome experience.
Two Greats uncle bruno and uncle denis 👍👍
Very cool to see Jimmy Bruno here ✌️❤️
Love me some Bruno. Just discovered him tonight. Wow.
I love Jimmy Bruno!
Pure gold
It was a nice teaser!
Love, love ,love Jimmy B. Miss his you tube stuff but I understand. Stay well Jimmy!
He's still doing them. I just saw a new one on the Bruno Online School channel.
awesome , recently discovered both
Bravo 👏
really tasteful and melodic playing there Denis
Great video!
Excellent
Jimmy you're great 👍
bravo!
jimmy bruno
Ahhh soo many good
Lines
Yeah Jimmy!
I was doing sound for FOH at the Somers Point gig Jimmy mentioned ( unless he played another time recently!) I remember thinking about how he was laying out a lot and now it makes sense.
Hard working thumb from Denis!
That's exactly how i learned everything i know. Go out and do it, don't sit in front of a computer with a "course".
Great video I bought all four videos the day they came out, enough information for years thanks Dennis and Jimmy
Italian guitar players......these cats could play..Satrani...Vai.. Joe Pass..Pisano..Zappa..Tedesco..Martino the list goes on.Something about their community they have Great education and feel.and Jimmy Bruno is amazing love and respect him.
jimmy's da man...
Thanks Jimmy and Dennis for the stories and great playing! Are you going to put out some video sessions/lessons with Jimmy?
They’re online already!
He is one of the original giants
"Skippy had brain damage..." lmaooooo Jimmy is too much man
i liked that
Helz Yeah!
Stochelo Rosenberg and George Benson (see the Rick Beato interview) learned in that way, aurally and with some hints from good musicians. No deep dive theory.
Are you located in Montreal? thx for this lesson BTW 🙏🏼
Jam sessions used to be "nice"back in the day, says Jimmy, they weren't "cutting sessions." Maybe jazz musicians should learn from this.
What is the title of the song you guys played at the end? One at the beginning of the video is Out of Nowhere but I can't remember the title of the one at the end. Excellent interview and playing, thanks.
I'll Remember April
The reason why a lot of musicians of the young generations sound the same? Here you go, jimmy said it all. I try to teach a kid jazz but he was not about trying to do it because all he wanted to know was Mixo, locry, Super locry & other stuff just like everybody was doing at school. That's how everybody will show up on stage & play their modes.
I think the biggest difference is until a certain time , jazz was a fairly popular music in a number of countries. Many people in those days grew up hearing songs played by jazz musicians (Autumn Leaves, All Of Me, Girl From Ipanema), they already knew jazz before even starting out.. Nowadays, people discover jazz in other ways, and often through schools and teachers. It’s less natural than it used to be. I remember when I played in Paris a few years ago, there were older people in the audience and they knew almost all the songs we played because it was their childhood. Those people weren’t musicians.
That's funny that you put politics, religion, and climate change in the thumbnail video. That's why i clicked on it, although i'm not a fan of any of those topics, but i had to see what this was about. I'm overjoyed that there was no mention of those things, unless i missed it somehow. Great video and GREAT playing gentlemen.
We do briefly mention it at the beginning!
This is really cool. I like it very much. What is the Name of the Tune you playing in the beginning? Thanks
Out Of Nowhere!
@@DenisChangMusic👍🏻 awesome dude
Wonderful rendition of "out of nowhere"
"Going around the horn"
Love these old school players. They were from a generation like my dad (RIP) as a young jazz listener and enthusiast back in the 50s and 60s and into the 70s. They don't teach like this anymore. Jazz is too formalized and academic nowadays. Cats used to just play what they heard on the records and substituted harmonies here and there playing live.
Oh and half of those "Real" books ain't right, either. You have to listen to the records first and foremost.
I am fascinated by the stories of old school players!
The Real Book has so many alterations to dominate chords in the lead sheets that guitar students play it verbatim and that causes clashes with the pianist who are using their own alterations.
smokin hot 😎
"I learned from my parents and their friends"
What is "on top of the beat" versus "on the beat?"
If I’m not mistaken “on top of the beat” means a little bit ahead , “on the beat” means right in the middle (as much as possible anyway)
@Denis Chang thanks for the reply. There's an excellent video on this unspoken rule titled "Who's in Charge of the of the Tempo" with Christian McBride and Gregory Hutchinson. The ebb and flow of jazz Bass and Drums.
What was the channel on covid issues?
Fun video, but the thumbnail is horrible clickbait. Shameful.
As usual folks rather hear from a white cat about Black musics calledJazz and Blues!
That intro jam was gold ❤
