Yo yungapplejuice Thank you for introducing me to Mr. Ryo.


No problem dude . My browser translator is a piece of shit or else I'd copy/paste a proper transcription of this lil bio written by Slowboat Jazz Club - his old stomping grounds . http://www.jazz-slowboat.jp/ryo-Fukui/

Story goes Ryo caught wind of jazz during its decline in the 70s and was so hyped by what he heard that he shut himself away from the world for 5/6 years , returning from his shed to drop Scenery + Mellow Dreams . Apparently he just disappeared after dropping those albums . Inspiration for days

p.s. That plantasia stuff is dope

Someone mentioned "A Visual Sound" & this seems like a good thread to remind everyone of THIS thread:

I'm definitely a fan too. His release was the only physical CD I actually bought in a couple of years. Basically, he released three albums at once, and it's so refreshing that somebody really knows how to play an instrument with a band and creates his own sound these days...
i likes skooterboarding.. be lets friends :)

I've been blowing it by sleeping on Kamasi . I've known about him cuz of his label mate on brainfeeder (thundercat) , but never properly listened in . I don't wanna blow it anymore so I'll check back in here once I listen to him (and my bushings arrive)

Such a rollercoaster of a thread, haha. Holy shit, thanks so much for the link Getty, I'm listening to the jazz as I type. And Seb, if you're reading, I sincerely hope that Ululation II comes to light someday. Why is Highlyann so elusive? She's like the female Gino.

I've been listening to Bill Evans nonstop at work. His album Interplay is a new favourite.
My taste in jazz is pretty entry level and uninformed, but I love it.
Oh man also just remembered this Bill Evans interview/show, it's amazing

So nice

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx0uvCBu7TU

This is absolutely ridiculous, hahaha. The fucking size of his drum kit, and the amount of keyboards... I can dig it though. What's he using for a plectrum? It's weird to see them all wailing away on their instruments and then hear a relatively mellow recording. I don't like the bits when he's more or less doing scale exercises, but I like the main melody and a lot of his guitar solo. I still really want to get more into jazz guitar but I don't know how or where to start.

Learn to read chord charts if you cant, you can get big books of jazz standards with charts for the changes/harmony and the melody is in notation, you can play a lot just jamming with the standards and riffing a bit, but more expansive improvisation requires a lot of theoretical knowledge, or you can just wing it, but with a base grounded in understanding it's easier to build off than just kind of rambling through it, obviously with a wide degree of variance for both



edit: unless you can already do all those things, I guess just learn more about jazz harmony

-Learn your chords in all 12 keys going through the cycle of 4ths & practice the chords in 3 groups (C/F/Bb/Eb) (Ab/Db/Gb/B) (E/A/D/G) .
-Get the free metronome app , set to 4/4@60bpm and get the first chunk down (hold chord for whole note - 4 beats) , then work on the second & third groups until you have all three locked down in a row+on time (once you get them locked @ 60 hold the chords for less beats - 3, 2 or 1 beat) .

Chords
Maj 6th 1-3-5-6 (C-E-G-A)
Min 6th 1-b3-5-6 (C-Eb-G-A)
Maj 7th 1-3-5-7 (C-E-G-B)
MinMaj 7th 1-b3-5-7 (C-Eb-G-B)
Dom 7th 1-3-5-b7 (C-E-G-Bb)
Min 7th 1-b3-5-b7 (C-Eb-G-Bb)
HalfDim 7th 1-b3-b5-b7 (C-Eb-Gb-Bb)
Dim 7th 1-b3-b5-bb7 (C-Eb-Gb-A)
Aug 7th 1-3-#5-b7 (C-E-G#-Bb)

*C major scale (C D E F G A B=1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
*b=flat (half step down) #=sharp (half step up)

12 keys & 9 types = 108 chords (root position) . Eventually you want to do the same with every chords inversion [C6 first inversion (E-G-A-C)] in order to keep the changes sounding smooth , freeing up your fingers (no big leaps to the next chord) and ultimately enabling you to create you own chord voicings . When I practice this on piano I alternate between going up and down octaves to keep my hands from having to run up and down the keys and to stay outta the muddier octaves - assuming it's the same deal for the neck of a guitar .

Basically , getting all these chords down will allow you to easily* play progressions on some basic tunes after learning the chord symbols scribbled on charts . Check out Autumn Leaves or Tenor Madness , two cornerstone beginner jazz standards . After you get the chords down start picking out the melodies (with metronome&counting beats out loud) , then practice the chords/melody using different backing tracks on YouTube if you don't have access to someone who can comp the chords behind you .

*ease depends on how diligently you practice - the process of learning jazz is EXACTLY like learning skateboarding !

EDIT : To defeat boredom make up your own progressions after you find some chords you dig , try playing a ii-V-I in C (dmin7-Gdom7-Cmaj7)

I always wonder if Headhunters classify as jazz record - it's verrry funky.

Jazz is an umbrella term . There's Jazz-blues and Blues-jazz , each fusion respectively utilizing more aspects of one genre over the other (jazz+blues is kind of a bad example since they're on some yin/yang type ish , so it all depends on who you're asking) . When I hear someone say they like jazz it's kinda like they just said they like sports . What kind of sports ?

Herbie's definitely one of the legends . He's clocked in thousands of hours of focused practice to master the "rules" , so he's allowed to break 'em (you can tell when someone's just regurgitating licks and doesn't have everything locked , similar to watching some street league dudes who can't ride tranny do awkward kickturns on the qp) . Herbie was a key part of many historically significant recordings/shows , and in his later years as a bandleader , started directing his energy and creative forces to push music into different directions (Headhunters/Rockit etc) . Headhunters has a hypnotic mix of funk/rock/soul but definitely still relies on some sweet jazz harmony/improvisation (listen to herbie's keyboard solos on chameleon) that every well-rounded musician has in the utility belt .

p.s. Digging into the etymology of the word "jazz" , you find that a lot of folks (researchers/historians) claim the term was coined by white folk (USA) and their blatant disregard for any musical achievements made by african-americans . The whites likened black music to masturbatory outbursts (jism/jizz) - hence the term jazz . I have a friend who just graduated from UCLA's department of ethnomusicology as a performance major , and refuses to call this music jazz . Instead he uses "BAM" (black american music) , and is convinced that anyone using the word jazz is a kook . . . I figure if Miles , Trane and all the legends present and active during it's heyday used the word "jazz" , it's a green light for the rest of us who grew up around their music .

p.p.s. this 1 pretty funky too

Back to Herbie Hancock, although this'll be relevant to Euro pals... he'll be playing live at Pori Jazz festival in Finland, July 14.

So I'm trying to figure out a way how to get there. Tickets are still available.

Anyone going actually?
