    :( brought a tear to my eye - I'm a drummer and influence Chick has had on my whole musical journey was incredible. Will be sadly missed.

    For those that don't know about Chick and the drums, check out Confirmation from Three Quartets. He shreds a duo with Michael Brecker!

      spot on. I remember hearing that track in 1990 for the first time and could not believe it was Gadd as it sounded nothing like him, despite the drum kit obviously being Gadd's. Then a few years later I heard it was Chick and it made perfect sense. Such a humble guy to never have credited himself with having played on that track.

    Drums sound amazingly jazzy... Love how Chick plays melodically even on the drums!

      There's a story from Airto, where he shows up to the Bitches Brew sessions.
      Chick was playing drums. He thought that it was Jack Dejohnette.
      Was blow away! Then found out it was the keyboard player and got overwhelmed. Wanted to get outta there!! Lol

    Not only a fine master jazz pianist and composer and also a tasty drummer. Got to love a musician that has so much talent.

    chic had a masters in percussion. Gary Burton and Chic playing vibraphone is outstanding performance.

    Around 2:00, it sounds like Christian's working out a voicing that's built using alternating intervals of perfect 4th and flatted 5th. First, he starts with E in the LH, so it begins E-A-Eb-Ab ; then he takes it up an inversion, so it becomes
    A-Eb-Ab-D ; then he reaches for the next top note, the G, which makes it really dissonant. If you have big enough hands, you could really get the concept he's going after by playing
    E-A-Eb-Ab-D-G-Db-Gb
    If you laid the entire chord/interval pattern out vertically, it would take 24 unique intervalic relationships to complete the chord, over a span of 11 octaves. A simpler way to consider the concept is to repeat fourths, going down in half steps (B-E-Bb-Eb-A-D-Ab-Db etc. etc.). Though you're technically sounding out all 12 notes of the chromatic scale twice, the intervallic relationships don't repeat until the 25th note. Remember, you're alternating intervals, so let's say you start on E. The first time you play E, you're moving from it by a perfect 4th; but the time you arrive at E the second time, you're moving from it by a flatted 5th. So, the first time is E-A, and then the second time is E-Bb.
    Nicholas Slonimsky literally wrote the book on this stuff, particularly pored over by numerous jazz legends since John Coltrane's use of it to develop the basis for tunes like Giant Steps and Countdown. In those cases, he borrowed from Slonimsky's equal division of the chromatic scale into intervals of minor 3rd/perfect 4th. McBride's chord would lead to the equal division of the chromatic scale by intervals of perfect 4th/minor 5th.
    Lots of heavies over the years have utilized these methods of scale and interval division to find novel scales, chords, and chord sequences.
    I hope this mini dissertation hasn't bored too many. Noticing the pattern McBride used, served to help me understand the concept a little better myself, as I've never had a vast working knowledge of Slonimsky's concepts found in The Complete Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns. If you want the minutes back you spent reading this, don't feel too bad; I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure this all out just now ;-)

    Sweet! Steve Gadd said he had a very profound Jazz drum “a ha” realization watching Chick playing drums (on the 80’s Gadd Up Close book and audio recording). I’ve been dying to see Chick on the set! Great great stuff here.

    I wonder how many people know it was Chick playing drums with Michael Brecker on Confirmation, the bonus track on Chick’s seminal 1981 album, Three Quartets...

    • @bholaoates1542
      @bholaoates1542 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It sounds like he's playing Gadd's drums on that track, so a lot of people probably assume it's Gadd playing. Of course, Gadd plays on the rest of the album.

      Me too Salvia.
      I became familiar with the Bosendorfer piano through George Duke.
      He said it had a darker slightly heavier tone than the yamahas or the Steinways.
      You've got good taste.!!
      Peace and love.🎼🎶

    Has Chick ever thought of doing a trio album where he is the drummer, much like Jack DeJohnette recorded an album or two where he was exclusively the pianist?
