JD Beck grew up in Dallas. He started playing out in clubs when he was still a kid, and of course you couldn't help noticing how he was KILLING it. His mom carted him around, and facilitated getting him out there. Players around town always kept an eye out for him wherever he was. He was very much adopted by the jazz/music community. He was playing pretty much like this when he was twelve!! Everybody knew he'd have no limits. He was a bright light, a really sweet guy who radiated good vibes. It's great to see he and Domi recognized for their cool thing.
word! I saw him at jam session in Dallas....and when he walked in to the club, as like a 15 year old or younger, he was treated like royalty from the other musicians....I was so intrigued, then I heard him play and I understood!!!
My dj buddies met him and I told him but he remembered one of them by name. He is a good kid
@@PowMusic Yeah, man. He has grown up in the community, and gotten all kinds of mentoring. And he's always been a sweet guy. I'm thrilled for his success.
JD is a dude? wtf
You mean she?
thank God is not a reaction video but someone really knowledgeable analyzing.
what is the deal with reaction videos!? amiright?
@@ftlbaby no, your not.
If the "reaction" video is from musicians explaining like this one, Rick B. or the Daily Doug, it brings really something to the plate, because you have insights and learn. Watching random people just sitting there, and reacting (often fake reacting) with "oh, wow" is just a waste of time.
Your discussion of the hybrid chords at 4:25 is pure gold. Thank you.
Steely Dan -chords
I also remember Lyle Mays making wise use of it in the song Half time of absolution with Pat Metheny.
You’re like an encyclopedia I can’t believe you made some of those connections. Amazing
Fascinating, my thoughts exactly.
@@seedor9797 When he mentioned the getz drummer, and played the track, I was blown away. That exact dry drum sound JD beck has with a drum and bass feel.
@@Zach_Routhier I know of Grady Tate mostly from his playing with Jimmy Smith......when they are older they have a nice live album played in a club, "Fourmost Return" Jimmy Smith, with Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine on Sax and Kenny Burrell on guitar. It's just mature players "not trying too hard" but just nice in the pocket groove playing, mostly swinging bluesy jazz. I am a 48 year harmonica player but had a swing/jazz/blues band 10 years and this is some of the type music we played on earlier sets on a club date type thing. Mostly we were more uptempo swing and jump blues, a favorite for the Lindy Hop Dance crowd who supported us.
I'm not an arranger, just a hack drummer, but I heard what this dude is talking about immediately, Chick chords, towels on the snare, a connection to the past but totally fresh and new. Yes, everybody stands on shoulders but these two blew me away; I have wanted to be blown away by younger jazz musicians (a relative term) but it wasn't happening, so nice to find I don't have a bias after all. JD is the only young drummer I have heard who is pushing the marble forward, for me he's already there with Sanchez and Blade (my #1 and 2); can't imagine what he will become. The best thing of all is that Domi and JD are connecting my generation and one in between with kids the age I was the first time I saw Miles. Warms my heart and gives me optimism about the future of jazz as I understand it. If you are a young jazz musician, here's your model.
i love jd and domi. i remember jd saying at one point he specifically was inspired to go as dry as possible from listening to getz. it really highlights how intricate his playing is.
Domi is ridiculously brilliant. She's so young and yet she's already on the level with some of the greatest jazz keys players of all time. It's crazy.
I think they both went to julliard school of music
@@smokingdrowdndarkelf976 and also started very young so I guess maybe it's not that crazy. Very impressive though.
@@smokingdrowdndarkelf976 no, domi went to berklee, i dont think jd went anywhere, he had private tutors
i don't know about all that...
@@smokingdrowdndarkelf976 Nope. Domi had already finished piano studies, I think age 14 (she started at 4 or so), and got a Berklee scholarship later where she completed also a degree. JD Beck is also a natural talent without formal education, but some years of tutelage by some renown drummers and bands. For accurate details, google. ;-)
I saw JD and Domi when they opened for Polyphia. It wasn’t everyone’s vibe, but being a musician myself, I really appreciated their craft. They are both extremely prodigious creators and it’s clear they put their time in.
Same here. Im not a musician but still love them 😂
Polyphia is garbage.
Same! Saw them in Boise, ID. I think I enjoyed JD and Domi more than Polyphia, even!
It's crazy how so much analysis can be done on such a small excerpt of music. Really glad to see you highlighting such good content!!
Ask your daughter to send you more suggestions bc this video is on the algorithm and your content is excellent quality.
Eg Dirty Loops has amazing arranging
Yay! I’ve been waiting for your update 😍
great learning content! thank you Adi!
So many insights in this video! Much thanks!
Wow, that was great! I really enjoyed it! Thank you!
Glad you took the time to offer this analysis. Turned onto these musicians by a relative, they're sensational in my view. Highly polyrythmic and harmonically rich. Especially like the lightness and agility of the drummer.
light but heavy, consistent like a drum machine, it's dope
Thank you Adi!
This was very well laid out, and a great choice of subject matter.
Toda raba!
I loved the breakdown, it helps me to HEAR what these different techniques sound like after the technical explanation. The graphics also help and are done so well. Thanks!
thanks Adi, I appreciate the speed at which you go deep into music and the minimal editing!
Thank you for this, Adi! I try to glean every little bit of sound music advice I can find. With yours, I found a gold nugget. I’m subscribing.
Awesome analysis Maestro! thank you
Amazing analysis. Thank you!
Thanks, Adi! That was awesome!
Thanks for the great analysis (and transcription). I love trying to work these out or, at least, get an understanding of what is happening within the chords.
been following your videos for approx. 2 years now and I've learned so much from them. You deserve many more views tho. Thank you Adi for sharing your knowledge
Brilliant... superb presentation and illustrations! Easy to absorb, thus apply immediately. Thank you... best wishes. 🥂
I feel so grateful that this video came up in my recommended. Thank you, Mr. Yeshaya.
Awesome insight! Thank you for sharing, Adi. You are styling with those glasses.
I love that you pointed out Steps ahead Pools! Eddie Gomez has some beautiful enchanting playing on there. I love that record and it makes sense that I also really dig the new Domi/JD Beck album. Great video thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. This has really given me such a deeper appreciation for them and it makes the idea of making something of this flavour seem more attainable. Sending me on lots of rabbit holes!
What a terrific teacher you are. Thank you.
Thanks to UA-cam for shoiwng me this video. Sir keep doing what you are doing I enjoyed and learn a lot from this. Best wishes for you
I've heard these kinds of chords all throughout some of my favorite jazz fusion groups and never heard them analyzed the way you've done here. Much obliged Adi. Liked and subscribed.
Fantastic video. So well communicated and super insightful!
you reminded me of how much i loved steps ahead, completely forgot about them and now im gonna listen to a bunch of their records this week, thanks a lot mane !
this has to be my favorite video on youtube ever!! making me understand and appreciate my favorite music more deeply. thank you sir
Glad the algorithm recommended this excellent video. Subscribed. Now on to check out Domi and Beck…
very nice work, Adi.
Thanks for breaking this down. Very insightful
Excellent analysis. Thank you.
Love your explanations! So easy to underatand pretty complex ideas
stoked to try these voicings out, thank you!!
love this in depth analysis
I hear the NOT TIGHT debut álbum by this kids and I can't believe it. In this music I can feel Chick Corea, I can feel John McLaughling, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Billy Cobham and so many others that I can't believe they had enough time to assimilate all tis music at their short age, they got it in their DNA, it's the only explanation!
You're drinking the Kool aid. You mention artists that are totally different in every aspect to each other. You are hearing someone with superb technique but little concept of melodic development. Most of her soloing sounds like scale practice. No space for the music to breathe. Even something like giant steps that is fast and has a barrage of notes, has melodic development and shape. It has direction.
u jelly @@tonyr.4778
@@tonyr.4778 I just made the same comment. Nobody is walking around humming one of their melodies.
Really enjoyed the presentation and pacing of this video - liked and subbed!
Thanks for posting!! Great talk !!!
Thank you for the vid!
Some great analysis, thank you
❤❤❤Ty for this video! Very knowledgeable indeed!
i absolutely love their debut studio album. theres some great tunes, amazing arrangement and production, but for some reason there is just something missing from the studio recordings. i always find myself gravitating towards their live performances when i want to listen to them, there is just something indescribable about the chemistry between the two of them playing live.
agree wholeheartedly. it would've elevated the album to a whole other level if the songs were recorded live. while the studio setting/mixing works very well for some joints (like the .paak collab) it really hinders others.
idk who produced them but if it really wasn't live off the floor then that's quite a shame. Jazz is all about the subitleties so playing to click ruins a bit of the magic for me as silly as that sounds.
I'm due to see them in London next summer. So excited!
And leave out the Thundercat - vocals too. I'm there to hear Domi and JD.
can't agree more, studio albums is just a format that doesn't fit them.
Awesome video Adi. My daughter would greatly appreciate the subject of your presentation.
All these records tipps are pure gold :) thx
This is great, thank you!
Good stuff Adi! Thanks 😉
Great video. Thank you!
A bottomless well of wisdom. You're the man, Adi!
Amazingly pleasing 😍
Great stuff!
!!! First video !!! Great topic!!
Very pleasantly surprised to hear someone appreciating Grady Tate's work on the Sweet Rain LP! I was completely blown away by it when I first heard it probably 20 years ago! Thanks for that recollection, sir.
so good, thank you!
Great analysis!
הסרטונים שלך סופר אינפורמטיבים ופוגעים בול, תודה!
beautiful video
Great stuff!!! Thanks!!!
Awesome. Thank you!
Amazing video 👍
They are absolutely fantastic
thank you thanks to you I discovered new musicians who touch the bottom of my heart
very inspiring thank you for this
thank you so much !
Cheers from France !
THANK YOU , SIR!!! ❤
Thanks for the video
So while they do have a relatively new sound, it's not something we haven't seen from cats like chris dave and robert glasper for example. The hip hop and breakbeat influenced stuff from the late 90s can be a blind spot for guys who solely do jazz sometimes. Hip hop had probably the largest influence on modern jazz of any musical movement in the past 20-30 years yet some jazz guys refuse to acknowledge it. Great vid!
True, for hard core jazz guys the 80s were a Future Shock.
Yes - and also specifically in the case of JD Beck, I can hear lot of possible influence from 90's Jungle/Drum & Bass, and even the electronic avantgarde stuff from the 90's that utilized jungle style sliced/edited breaks. When I hear JD drumming I can't but help think of stuff like this: ua-cam.com/video/T5ut41xU2TI/v-deo.html
@@SamUrtonDesign Electronic avantgarde? So that's why the nineties were such a jazz wasteland, save carryovers from the 80s.
thank you for this breakdown of Domi And JD BEck Ur A Genius
invaluable! thanks!
This wealth of knowledge is to subscribe for!
i am obsessed with your glasses, they look so damn good on you, absolute props
😂🙏🏾
excellent video
Nice! just came across your video and subbed instantly :) Thanks
Priceless lesson thank u very much
This is so great! You're a great educator, thanks :)
깔끔한 설명 감사합니다
That was a lot of knowledge, thank you. Domi & JD Beck play here next month in the historic town of Winterthur/Switzerland, and the concert is for free..well!
WHAT??? ich hett das nie mitüberko... danke!!
@@cora_m gerne👍
Brilliant!👏👏
Not bad Adi, not bad. Subscribed!
JD Beck’s drumming kind of got me into Jungle DnB but it’s not the same, he’s just so good
I can see that since their both centered around breakbeats.
Great shout about Sweet Rain. I'm currently learning Chick's solo on Litha - a work in progress :)
You are amazing! I found out about them when I start watching ”Zildjian Live with Ghost-Note” Even though we are not drummers, I highly recommended it. These young kids are super talented. but you still are the best (or GOAT, nowadays😆)!
that was such a great session
Awesome!
Where have you been all my life?
Earned my sub!!!
you seem chill!
This vid was awesome! Can you do one on Robert glaspers chords? Especially for songs like liftoff or so beautiful! The way you explain these chords was really good.
amazing
I heard this group for the first time last night. Their Coachella set was LIT! I downloaded the album immediately and I’ve been jamming all damn day!
Amazing.
pure gold
i see this video is your biggest yet! congrats on the views, hope it keeps going well for you!
awesome
So cool, I immediately thought of Steely Dan. Would love to see you analyze some of the chords from aja!!
Nice. Just in time before I watch them live in Singapore.
