One of the deeper things I did during the pandemic shut down resulted in saying yes to an invitation from a virtuoso solo cellist and friend, Amit Peled. He called one day and asked what I thought about composing a piece to feature him with his cello ensemble that would be centered around Amanda Gorman’s inaugural poem, “The Hill We Climb.” I studied the poem and Amanda’s delivery, focused on t...

BLUES ON PARADE - Clayton Brothers Brother Jeff used to tell a story about his song, Blues On Parade. He would say: When I would play clubs located in South Central LA, invariably there would be a woman in the front row, dressed to the nines, usually with a hat that had a bunch of fruit on top of it, and she would ask me (assume high pitched voice), “Y’all know BLUES ON PARADE?” And I didn’t kn...

MY FUNNY VALENTINE Michel LeGrand Ray Brown, bass; Shelly Manne, drums BACKSTORY: This was another ear opener for me. I was 18 or 19 years old when I discovered this record. I probably heard it on L.A.’s jazz station at the time, KBCA. It was 1970 or ‘71. I KNEW it was Ray Brown after hearing a few notes. The drummer was swinging but I didn’t know enough about Shelly Manne’s style at that time ...

OLD MAN TIME - Milt Hinton
Переглядів 2,4 тис.4 роки тому
Many of you know about my close association with bass icon, Ray Brown. Another man who swept me away was Milt Hinton. He was born in 1910 and, as a traveling musician, dealt with Jim-Crow-America in more forms than most black Americans. Like Louis Armstrong and many others, he chose to work at spreading love and doing his best to improve things for all. It’s hard to sum up all that Milt Hinton ...

THE GLORY OF LOVE - Paul McCartney Diana Krall was the music director and pianist for a project by Paul McCartney. Sir Paul grew up listening to his father play jazz drums in a big band and wanted to record an album of those great songs. We created arrangements in the studio. We’d record a song and wait to hear what the man-of-the-hour was feeling. On THE GLORY OF LOVE, we tried various intros ...

    For me, the best walking bass sound and rhythmic precision is trying to emulate Scott Lafaro's tone...or Christian McBride's. There is no doubt Mr. Clayton, that your explanations and videos are what we all need in seaching for our inner selves. Bravo!

    Sorry to be the voice of dissent but how is that a lesson? “Learn all triads and arpeggios in all keys” is akin to saying “just learn everything and you will be a great musician!”. HOW do we best learn these things? What is the insight here?

      He's from Detroit. We talk about him all the time. Wayne State University performed a tribute concert to him last month. Several of his compositions were performed. His niece was there, who happens to be a jazz singer, performed at the concert and brought Milt's brother. It was quite a treat.

    The first time I heard this was on a road trip with my dad while we were listening to XM radio. We didn't realize the name of the song; we were just grooving along when suddenly, they sang, "Taco with a Pork Chop!!" I paused and looked at him, asking, "Did they just say 'Taco with a Pork Chop?'" We both burst into laughter, and it has been our inside joke ever since.
