I genuinely dont understand why some people dont like jazz especially stuff like this thats just so happy and so organic, its not too square but its also not too hip its just happiness
@@mertgulec7541 I think it's more so like Jazz usually uses greater harmonic vocabulary, so the best comparison I have is if a novel uses incredibly rare and academic words to express itself. For example, most books might have written "The silence was deafening," but Jazz would be the book that writes "The draconic cacophony of silence was of the most extraordinary verisimilitude."
It's the sort of genre that the more you listen to it, the more you 'get it' and the more you like it, so initially people are put off. You also appreciate it more as a musician.
@@alfredfind1219no no it’s perfectly safe. It uses something that goes by many names such as false folds, vestibular folds, false cords, or vesticular folds. They may hurt for the first few days you use them as they aren’t used to being used but after that it should be free sailing. Unless they continue to hurt then reevaluate what you’re doing. But you should learn it’s a joy
For anyone who might not know, this tune is using a common set of chord changes called "Rhythm Changes" because they are borrowed from a tune called "I Got Rhythm". It makes the title "Laughing in Rhythm" that much better
2:08 this right here probably has to be one of the most interesting vocals I’ve ever heard It’s almost eerie how in tune his voice is with how his Bass is, down to the timbre
This is called the "Hum-along Bass" technique and it's really difficult to do. He's hearing what he wants to play in his head - what notes he's going to play, singing them, and hitting them all at once. Slam Stewart did also use this, as well as the more modern Avery Sharpe (who I've met and who is the nicest person!). Guitarists also use this. It's really cool! Jazz is neat.
Absolutely the most contagious laugh I've ever heard in my life. Seriously guys if you're having an awful day or are feeling anxious about the state of the world just come and join this guy laughing with his big ole' bass!!
I am a Metal guy but damn.. Why do people disrespect jazz so much? It's a totally unique and relaxing style. This is something I will never understand.
I wish life was like this long. Happy. Everybody laughing. And people love it. Sady. Its about money, religion etc etc all that stuff. This song is happy, upbeat, anx lively. I love it!
as a double/upright bass player these always make me so happy, because in most other things we're so underrated but jazz WORSHIPS us it's great, i feel so appreciated in jazz music c':
When I listen to jazz like this, I focus primarily on the bass and the drums, especially if the instruments are acoustic and the volume is low. It reminds me of the saying, "If you want to get somebody's attention, just whisper." Bass players DO make a huge difference. As a jazz drummer, I speak from experience. @@cosmic7127
I'm mostly epic melodic metal guy (even write some myself), but I do love any real music that has love and talent put into it, and this is a masterpiece!
As a (world famous) concert/festival/pool party musician, this is good. Really good. I mean, as an upright bassist/pianist/kazooist/peepeepoopooist you have to appreciate the sheer talent that is portrayed incredibly effortlessly.
I watched this musical mastery severally; and with each successive one, came a better and more pleasing appreciation of the whole. What a masterpiece!!!
Most of these moments happen when they get together for fun and their is no large audience to appreciate. As a jazz drummer, I've been there, done that. I love these guys!
His laugh sounds like it's from a stern older character in a drama movie, that's sitting on some repressed enotions, and only through forming a genuine connect with the protagonist does he allow himself to laugh for the first time in years.
There are truly only 2 kinds of people, People who like Jazz and people who don't admit they like jazz. Also at 2:18 he litteraly went and got natural autotune, he is talented as hell
I don't want to appear to be making a racial statement, but older black men just ooze blues and jazz skill and charm! I have always loved blues, for over 35 years now and I am slowly expanding into jazz. Thanks for this wonderful piece:)
I just love how he laughs as if he saw something really silly, like a guy dodging a banana peel on a sidewalk only to fall into a manhole

That bass scatting is so cool.
He went from happy jazz man to Mongolian throat singer 😂
i was so impressed

The way the tones blend is really cool!
It's actually pronounced 'bass'.

Sounds like a mix of both

I’m a jazz lover, never knew about this.
I'm 100% into metal and don't really know any jazz, but this is a classic now for me
He literally turned into a vocoder
Right? This dudes awesome
He doesn't need autotune
@@usibistroautotune needs him 🔥🔥

Stayed for the this part mao 2:09, it reminds me of vocoded vocals but done acoustically and I love it
Seiiii seiii seiiiii... meow meow meow...
Genius.
spinning cockroach
reminds me of Mongolian throat singing
@@ArcDar basically what he's doing, just using the same vocal folds for throat singing to filter his voice.
This man does a pitch change, reeverbed, distorded vocoder sounds like vocals 🤯
How talented are some of us
throat singing, it's somewhat easy
It's pretty fascinating. I want to learn it, but being overheard making weird alien noises is not ideal😅

Good ole contrafacts
i was gonna say that reminded me of something!!
1:08, this sounds silly, but the way he hit that high note after adjusting his glasses was just the most effortlessly smooth thing I've ever seen.
he's mastered the bass so far that it just comes naturally to him, its so cool!!
i love natural harmonics on upright, always sounds so cool

Sounds like throat-singing to me
If you ain't laughing, you ain't got rhythm 😂
ua-cam.com/video/KTdFszcZp-I/v-deo.html
Exactly!
That little slide he did on his bass that matched his vocals around 2:30 is probably my favorite part.
Its insane. It sounds a little sharp too but it was clearly on purpose
Major Holley - bass
Sonny Fortune - alto sax
Lou Blackburn - trombone
Richard Wayndes - piano
Akira Tana - drums
thanks
Major Holley - -bass- *laughing in rhythm*
Wait how did you know?

The bit at the end when he changed his voice… he closed his eyes and got really into it. That’s years of experience.

I can’t listen to this without tapping my foot
I used to listen to Jazz when I was around 8-9. I’m older now, and need to listen again, I forgot how wondrously amazing it is.
Jazz is probably the only genre AI will never take over
Love that someone commented this
Just the absolute talent it takes vocally to do that is unreal. Hes amazing and one of the most talented ever

1:01 the drummer looks so cool lol
‘popadiddy podiddy popiddy pop, goes the modazhikle’. Amazing.

It's always cool to hear something so in tune.
I don't think I've ever heard a more smile worthy tune in my life, from laughing in rhythm to the way he scats to the tune of the bass solo.

How could you not enjoy this?
aw, this made me smile, i was having a bad day
i love playing double bass, i hope to be like this guy
Not only is the laughing in rhythm hilarious his scatting and vocals are amazing
