Christians should tout her more, if there was ever a good argument for god, she's got to be it ;)

I'd crawl a mile through broken glass to suck the dick of the dude that fucked her, just to get a taste.

^^ Cool shit, BB, Evans was a fuckin' genius. Are you a pianist? I didn't know you played jazz. I grew up with it, too. I loved Monk, and got my dad's blue note vinyl when he died...

Monk is hands down my fav pianist.

His version of Caravan blows my mind every time.... Duke was good, but Monk is better. ;)


I (used to) play at level 9 in the Royal Conservatory of music. Piano was my first instrument, I started when i was 3. I went to University (the first time) for a BA in Music/Jazz with my sax. As for instruments, I play sax (tenor and soprano), piano, guitar, drums, accordion, and a bit of harmonica and violin!

My grandmother was insanely musically gifted, and I was the only one in the family to inherit (some) of her abilities.

Wow! That's awesome, BB. It's interesting that your list of instruments includes the violin, seems almost out of place with the other instruments you play. Do you still play and get together with other musicians to jam? Do you still practice regularly? That's level 9 out of what, 11 levels? I went through trombone, baritone trombone, some trumpet, guitar and piano before settling on almost exclusively violin. So cool, keep it up ;)

Thanks man! The violin was a actually a gift from my grandmother. I thought it would be similar to the guitar, but I found the change in perspective really challenging.

In Royal Conservatory exams, there were 10 levels. Each level you had to do scales and arpeggios with a few pieces. I never did RCoM studies until late in my piano playing, I just started at level 7 and did the exam and went from there. lol

I love improv, but I hated practicing mode work and scales... LOL Kind of contradictory... I wish I played more now, but I still play guitar!

I hear you; I love playing chamber music but I really don't enjoy practicing. I play professionally, but there are a lot of pieces I'd love to perfect that require specific technique I don't yet possess. I think the main thing that stops almost everyone from playing music is the thousands of hours required to become proficient at an instrument. I wish we had the technology to upload the muscle memory for any instrument directly into our brains in seconds, like the Matrix. "I know violin!" "Show me..."

I forgot to add I can play the flute too. A lot of the same fingerings as sax with some minor differences.... and flute is in C... lol

BTW;


  • You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tyler.durden again.

And on the eighth day, God created the Wurlizter electric piano. mmm hmmm. Some friends of mine playing, terrible recording quality... sorry.

I find myself trying to give reps to the same people too often myself, lol. Some people are just that awesome.

For one of my assignments in school we had to listen to a jazz solo and then transcribe it, and play it in front of everyone. Almost everyone did one specific to their instrument. Me? I did Miles Davis on sax. lol

Here's a link to the song, I'd do the youtube link but I couldn't find this version; and this is the version I did.

The solo starts at 1:00. I always dug Miles, not the best technically but I think he had the best ideas. :)

I love the piano solo too for that matter... lol

If it doesn't have a vibraphone I'm not interested, lol.

I recognize how great Miles Davis was, I just can't really get into that type of jazz. Thanks for sharing that song!

Miles was a genius and an amazing musician. Like you say, not the best technically, but the ideas and phrasing he had. I broke my Miles cherry with Sketches of Spain, still one of my favorite albums. I'd love to hear a recording of the transcription you played, let me know if you ever upload it somewhere...


For the uninitiated, go ahead and bounce around this album to hear the different tunes and moods. Real genius here -

Okay, my friends. I don't know how the fuck I missed this game until now (by Nintendo, no less), but this song fucked me up so much I just had to share it with you all. Make sure you're not too high while you view this, it is disturbing...

Love this song. It was from an anime I used to watch, Cowboy Bebop. It has an absolutely amazing soundtrack done by a lady named Yoko Kanno and her jazz band, 'The Seatbelts'....

badass stuff right here.

Always had a soft spot for 3/4 time, especially awesome metal.

This is the solo album of the guy who does all the music for the TV show, Metalocalypse. He does the guitar (Skwisgaar, Toki), and singing (Nathan, Pickles) on the show.

He has amazing drummer, Gene "The atomic Clock" Hoglan (Dark Angel, Death, Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend, Fear Factory, Opeth, Unearth), and renound Bassist, Bryan Beller (Mike Keneally, Steve Vai, James LaBrie of Dream Theater, Dweezil Zappa, The Aristocrats) rocking it with him.

This was my initial favorite song on the album.

The solo at 2:30 is incredibly melodic... I love it.

Then again, this entire song is so baddass it should be illegal. I mean, come on, it's called 'Danger Tits'.... :D
