@@cokedupcat The music is defined by people who cloister themselves away for vast portions of their lives at accepted social cost, fanatically devoted to an obscure introverted, intellectual pursuit. The results aren't nerdy, but the path certainly is.
@@MrDaraghkinch Huh, you know what you just summed up my life. No joke, never been to a party after the first few because I didn't enjoy it. I avoid social gatherings and avoid making new friends. But I know how to homebrew steroids, make websites, make AI, make viruses, tinker with AC units as well as rebuild and repair them (sometimes), I write very well even though it may not look like it due to the minimal effort I put into my comments. And I study pharmacy and medicinal chemistry. I know that sounds very sketchy but I have legitmate interest not criminal. But I smoke a lot of weed, gunna buy a motorcycle, I'm getting buff (havent used steroids yet though), I'm decently strong, I like going places and doing things but without other people and I practice boxing so I'm not nerdy right? I just think the whole nerdy thing is stupid because it's a literal stereotype. Not everyone fits into it, in fact probably most people don't. The ones who do usually grow out of it from either pressure or they're tired of being weak. Music is just music and anyone can enjoy it. Lots of people only like rap because it's what is popular. Lots of people only like certain genres because they aren't popular. But when you find someone who likes something because they enjoy it they might not share with as many people that they enjoy it in fear of being judged. Which is lame but it happens a whole lot.
The drums, bass, guitar and keys are just welded together into one hell of a funky tune here. The solos are tasty, sure, but what's happening behind them is what makes this clip special for me.

I miss this hard slammy jazz sound so much. Nowadays it seems to be way more about neo soul and jam band type sounds in the "jazz" world, which is cool n all but i wish literally anyone would play in this mean style that was big in that 1986-1994 era.
I miss that strange moment back in the 70s where jazz became speed metal before metal became speed metal. Albums like Zappa's The Grand Wazoo, RTF's The Romantic Warrior, Al Di Meiola's Elegant Gypsy, the first Mahavishnu Orchestra releases, you get the idea.
@@tjenadonn6158 definitely, but you can listen to the band plini or the band intervals today and hear more of that style. Al di meolas "kiss my axe" almost timeless due to the revival of that sound
This is Rock Fusion(Jazz Rock). More influence of Rock, but still rooted in Jazz. I used to go with my parents back in the early ‘90’s out to Dallas for free concerts called Jazz under the stars. Some legit Jazz players came through, a LOT of smooth jazz fluff, though too.
I don't think I've seen Michael Brecker as happy on stage as here. His second round at 1:39 is completely facemelting together with Dennis Chambers 😱. You can see that they were cooking that up around 1:25 As you can see, the transcription for the Trumpet and Tenor sax are in Bb transposition and as you would read it on the concerning octaves for that instrument. You'll notice that when Michael Brecker takes over the solo of Randy, he uses the note Randy ended with in the same octave but it's notated an octave higher. Guitar and keyboard solo transcription are for C-instruments. This was the choice, so you can match it with the instrument that is being played made the most sense.

Wow, one of those rare occasions when the electric guitar player in a fusion band actually has a great tone. Awesome playing all around, of course. Hot diggity damn!
Good point, I wonder if it is because fusion guitar players tend to sacrifice tone for speed (very low set-up etc.) I love Barry Finnerty, and like his style much more than Mike Stern's who also played in that band. Mike Stern was just never my thing I guess (Mike did have a great tone though).
I could make shady deals to run illicit energon cannisters from Weyland to Wallach IX in a Star Wars esque mixed species, space station bar to this kind of jam any time.
Some people think that playing a lot of notes makes them a good musician. BB king and this clip both prove playing one note at the right time makes you a better musician. Discretion is the better part of valour
Joe Dart and Robert Fripp might be better examples there. The nearly four minute long crescendo in 13/4 on Starless was so titanic in its minimalism that some credit it as the first example of postrock (seriously the stamina of Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, and Cross on display on the albums Red and Starless and Bible Black is just superhuman,) and Dean Town has likely turned more Millennials and Zoomers onto playing the bass guitar than any other song. Using this gang of glorious and notorious noodlers as an example of the value of restraint seems like using a trip to Las Vegas as an example of the value of fiscal responsibility, and if I may be blasphemous the BB in BB King stands for Boring Bastard.
The main reason why D. Chambers groove so hard it's a good piece of gum. So I will not practice that much any more and concentrate in a good and taste piece of gum! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hehe, no AI involved. We're with the two of us, me (Jorre) transcribed the Sax and trumpet solo, and Timothy the synth and guitar solo and then we put them together :) glad you dig it, this was one of my personal first catalyst moments to start loving fusion, jazz and saxophone. And we'll just keep on doing right that, exposing what we consider some of the coolest music out there to get an insight into the minds of these players. That's one of the best tools to improve as a creative musician, we believe
@@thatonedudefromyouknowwhere Why would you assume it's AI?... people have been transcribing jazz solos for many decades now. I don't mean no disrespect, but not everything extraordinarily technical involves AI. Also, contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of different mathematically correct ways to write music that are unreadable; I highly doubt an AI would make something even close to being as readable as this. If an AI was able to read music, then eventually it would be able to write it properly, but transcribing is yet a whole damn step above that in terms of technique. Humans are awesome! Also, we made the AIs... as Steve Wozniak would have it, "The only thing that bothers me about AI is that it's not actually intelligent, it doesn't ask itself that to do in the morning."... but I guess this is philosophical... anyway, have a good one!
@@jas_bataille Honestly, I might just be projecting, but the solos here are complex (and also at times very fast like Michael's second solo.. like I don't even see how something like that can be transcribed without a TON of work with the track slowed down), so I was wondering if they used some sort of AI to assist. I only recently discovered that there is AI out there that will isolate an instrument from a mix, so I was curious if there was some kind of transcription bot out there somewhere.

This is what happens when jazz funk music nerds each become one of every kind of 80s movie villains.
SimCity soundtrack, except you are designing new ways to destroy the planet.
Damn, why is jazz and funk always seen as nerdy people need new perspectives

that rhythm section is bananas...
everyone on that stage is fucking insane
AND the monkey
Dennis Chambers on drums is always a recipe for a good rhythm section!
I'd listen to this even without the solos, the drums and bass are such a groove.
I think the solos were the weakest part
I would listen to this ESPECIALLY without the solos. They really get in the way of the groove at times to be honest.
The drums, bass, guitar and keys are just welded together into one hell of a funky tune here. The solos are tasty, sure, but what's happening behind them is what makes this clip special for me.
No guitar in the Dave Brubeck Quartet.....
1:38 Brecker really had to outbrecker himself here. The comedic timing of him launching into the camera's frame was perfect.
Wow crazy that’s Dennis Chambers back there on the drums. No wonder the rhythm section sounds so incredible.
The fluo dressed water surfer and skiier at the end make it even more '90s than it already was.
its like as if the tropical Hawaiian shirts and beach vibe werent enough early 90s japanese jazzfest for ya BAM -fatality- vhs dayglo wind surfer footage
When Brecker and Chambers started breaking down, I lost track of who was melting my face.
boy couldn't help himself, just had to sneak that "lick" in.
Dennis Chambers and Michael Brecker are musicians of a caliber we may never see again. Rip Michael, what a fucking baller.
This is so far one of the best solos of Michael Brecker, that first idea is just amazing!! So “simple” but again so cool. Thanks for sharing this man.
Swear to God i could live a full happy life in those three bars at 0:30
attitude of heavy metal in jazz fusion
they were slaying it!!! :)
I laughed so much at the title, I missed the entire guitar solo. Well done!
Haha, great 😂 thanks Joakim!
Man I miss the 90s those were the days. This was great.
Ohhh man.... I just love those shirts from 90is

Ayyo check out project RNL you’d love it bro
Barry Finnerty is underrated.
With the way things are now, it’s odd to hear the lick and not hear the sound of goofy chuckling and the crumpling of an undergrad degree
They're ALL jammin! I like that LICC that was in there too
Nice transcription and it was really pleasant seeing it transcribed by the instrument's pitch
Barry Finnerty is killing it! That's my boy. 😎
1:40 Micheal and Dennis crushin it!
mad respect to all musicians involved. but man, i really dig that snare sound.
EDIT:
many thanks for the transcription, great work dude
the classic lick at 1:13 having the most replayed bump on youtube doesn't surprise me one bit
Late 80s/early 90s maximalist fusion was intense! Miss randy touring with dennis and that shtus being cool!
Finnerty and Whitty so underrated.
Mt Fuji jazzfest always kicks ass

Jorre check your mailbox, i have in my archives Much Much better quality from this video ! sorry man :(
the first time I saw this session I was in awe with Michael Brecker happiness on stage. Starting the show with Some Skunk Funk was crazy af!
Is he the one wearing sunglasses?
The real beast here transcribed those sweeps
The wind surfing at the end is hilarious.
Absolute monster jam .
when the "AI HD upscaler" makes the bassist look like he was greenscreen'd in
GUITAR KILLINNNN 🔥🔥🔥
Drummer doubling up, WTF dude? Only Brecker can deal with it.
Dennis Chambers is fu@#$%#ng amazing!
That's mothafuckin' Dennis Chambers!
That’s Dennis Chambers. He’s a freakin monster
Young dennis
Bob Berg amazing JazzMan Fusion
WHEE!! Smokin'! What a super group!
I can’t believe you transcribed this!!!
Thanks. This is great. I believe you saved the internet for me with this.

lovely
2:06 the amount of daylight between the low E and the neck is downright pissing me off. This man's out here shredding on a suspension bridge
Amazing crazy very Nice mano pentatonica modal cromática congratulations transcripition
you're going into beast mode on including those transcriptions bro
TIMEX calculator watch. Brecker figures out stuff on it.
If Dream Theatre were a jazz funk group XD love it!
If you want jazzy, funky prog metal check out Thank You Scientist. Their album Stranger Heads Prevail was easily my top album of 2016.
So good ...
Many thanks to you, you provide great material !
Hahahaha this gig is IT !!!
Dennis Chambers is a 🙌 legend. Solid.
Subbed for the licc 😎
The craziest part is when the jet skier comes in.
The bass player was the star for all of this.
Dennis Chambers on drums. Thee Dennis Chambers.
I'm pretty sure I just saw Freddie Mercury play The Lick
LMAOOO
Nowadays this guy looks A LOT like Arnold Schwarzenegger
No, that was MacGruber
Sax player looks like Quentin Tarantino lololol
Now this is some cooooooool jazz 😎👍🏼
1:12 best bit.

The background figure reminds me of Blow Ya Mind by Eve
Title is 💯
I have the feeling that would have been even more exciting if I could read music.
you gotta have some pipes to rock a horn like that whew
Wait! Is that Dennis Chambers on the drums?
Lol I like the The Lick™ made an appearance in the organ solo
holy shit
They look like a bunch of Initech employees on Hawaiian Shirt Day
1:12 THE LICK
all this is missing is Angelo Moore wat!
What’s up with Finnerty’s guitar? Binding looks larger than the fretboard??
Holy nasty!.!..
Can someone tell me what specific genere this Is?
The main reason why D. Chambers groove so hard it's a good piece of gum. So I will not practice that much any more and concentrate in a good and taste piece of gum! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They don't make em like they used to 😊❤
Dennis!
Nothing is "casually" beast moded if Michael Brecker is arround...
I don’t know much about jazz artist but I really enjoy the music! When did this festival occur?
1992 :)
Yup, You've done it again youtube 🍻
Which one went into beast mode? All of them?
U can hear all that Jr Walker in Mike’s playing…

Only think stankier than that sax solo is the stanky leg god damn
What program do you use for the notation?
Ahhhh, Jazz. The art of playing the Wrong note!
damn
🤯
When was Michael Brecker not in beast mode?
Electric Trumpet?
DC..
The Heavyweight Champ.
Man who is that guitar player?
Barry Finnerty
What year was this?
1992
1:39 Jesus
Who knew that Dennis Eckersley was also a beast of the jazz solo on keys! I think we can go ahead and tack on save number 391 for this performance!
it's like Dream Theater and Snarky Puppy had a baby
It’s so weird seeing the notation instead of tabs for guitar 😂 these guy can all absolutely shred their respective instruments though!
The AI stuff here was terrifying.
😍😍😍
My wife loves the licc.
Eeesh to be Randy Brecker.......
When did iDubbbz start playing piano? And get a mullet?
