FOR SURE! I love working with musicians and students of course, but this music is for LISTENING!!! Thanks for being with us on this trip. Please subscribe if you haven't already.
Thank you Jeff. Your positive enthusiasm just makes everything seem so "right". I love Dave Holland's music and how he and the group explores diffent composistional ideas, rhythm, melody and harmonic canvas. Hard to do for us lesser mortals! But satisfying nonetheless. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks for posting this! "Back in the day" (in my late teens), I listened to a lot of Archie Shepp, Ornette Coleman, Coltrane's later recordings, Joseph Jarmen, Anthony Braxton ... and didn't get turned on to "traditional" jazz until much later.
Ok. So Jeff. If you were given a lead sheet for this tune what in blazes would it look like? Would it be primarily a drum/rhythm sheet, or would it just say “you have the license to BS”. A “free will” format! Glad this has never been called during a jam session…😂 Thanks for explaining. I too would not be drawn to playing jazz after hearing this. Free will! 😅
12 measures long, and very simple. Tag me inside www.JazzWire.net and I'll share it. I'll put it there right now actually. As I said in the video, this is a GREAT and quite important way to play, from a developmental and pedagogical standpoint. I hope we'll have a chance to do some of this together!
Changeless is actually a style? Takes me back to my teenage days when I would play a whole set with just a drummer. there were no changes because I didn't know how to play chords. I'd just tell the drummer a tempo and style and off we'd go for 5 or 10 minutes and then we'd stop and make another call. No changes. Not even a key.
Absolutely. It's an HUGE subset of jazz. Many hundreds of thousands of recordings, bands and performances, since the late 50's. Sounds like you were a part of it back in the day!
@@JeffAntoniukEducator If I was a part of it, it was not because I was doing something consciously but because I didn't have a clue about playing any other way. I was totally ignorant never having been exposed to any music theory at all.
That was fun to listen to. Great tune. Thanks Dick
Great choice for introduction to the genre. Thank you. It is a joy to listen and understand. This is not only for musicians but also music lovers.

Thanks for the kind words Frank. So happy you are hip to Dave Holland and some of his amazing work.

That is a cool progression. "History in reverse" is definitely the way many of us get there.
