As a practicing professional musician and teacher myself for more than 30 years, I cannot tell you much I love watching these sessions and this generation is so lucky to be able to simply hop on over to UA-cam and watch and learn from ALL of these amazing musicians any time day or night. What I would have given to have had that option growing up when I first picked up the guitar. These musicians are the BEST of the BEST and in more ways than just musically, but they understand that it takes team work, compromise, respect for craft and mutual respect, to make great music. You never see an ego in sight. They leave all that BS at the door. You see in these perfect sessions, just how REAL pro musicians behave in the real world of music. These sessions are great for young musicians to watch or for anyone who needs an ego check. These musicians completely understand the true meaning of musicianship. WE WANT MORE STUDIO JAMS!!! 😏
It's great to have legendary guitarist Dean Brown producing and performing on my new Ghost Jazz Trio album Groovin Smooth to release in March 2023. He's an amazing talent on every level. His contributions to the music world is unmatched and invaluable.
I ve met Mr dean Brown in New morning paris...what a musician and humble guy!RIP legendary unique guitariste may your soul rest in peace with all great musicians(georges duke John Blackwell David Sanborn..........)
Absolutely and 100% exquisite way of performing a standard like Footprints. You friends, are awesome. Thank you for sharing a valuable recientemente session. Greetings from Guanajuato, Mexico
The original Realbook had the changes for the turnaround as | D7 | Db7 | ...I'm not sure if that's correct? Also seen it as | F#-11b5 F13#11 | E7alt. A7alt | OR |F#7(b5) E7#9 | D7(alt) G7#5 | Cmin 11 etc. Some of these chords are interchangeable if you analyze them.... anyway, for anyone interested.
Another approach to keep things simple is to play it as a C minor blues in 3/4 or 6/8, and simply alter the D7 and Db7 to | D7#9(#5) | Db7#9 | (or similar) to bring it back to the Cmi7.
Wow! Keep up the Superb work that's being done on "STUDIO JAMS!" If you're a musical kind of person who can't enough of the makings of the music behind the magic you hear on the radio, then watch , listen ,and join in the electricity of TRUE LOVE IN THE WORKS OF MUSIC!
I love this jam. I love this session. All four tunes from these four musicians, in this one session, are just amazing. The other tunes from this session is: 'Maiden Voyage', 'Oleo' and 'Valdez in the Country'. Highly recommend listening, they're swinging just as hard in those, as they are in this.
@@StudioJams You do a stellar job (Tom, I believe?). I've enjoyed these videos for years and still keep coming back. They offer something more profound than just a jam, they offer insight and, to some valuable extent, education. I've learned a lot whilst having a great time. Thanks.
Thank you. Yes...this is Tom. I love doing these. But, basically as a "one man band", things never move forward fast enough for me. Right now I have 5 new episodes shot that I still need to cut together. :)
What a jam!! I never feel Phillipe Saise has got the recognition he deserves. As someone else commented, he appeared on the US Night Music series when he looked like a teenager and played in the band with David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Hiram Bullock, Omar Hakim and legendary guests. He's also played many times with the very best in live concerts. I think you see in this jam why. He has the chops but he adds beautiful harmony where it fits and is equally proficient on piano, Rhodes, synth. Similar in many ways to Larry Williams, Ricky Peters on, Tom Brooks and others. Dean also was the touring guitarist of choice for many top performers, I think his dancing, faces and strange on stage behaviour was a crowd pleaser as it was with Hiram as well as being a great player. Great video series.
I've never commented on anything on any online platform before, but I couldn't help it this time; that they're actually consulting the Real Book to learn the harmony to this Wayne Shorter tune??
Amen..If you watch some old Bob Wills swing stuff, you might catch some with Eldon Shamblin playing a strat. He sounds like Joe Pass! Eldon had a strat numbered 00002!! ..Ed Bickert played a Tele and his jazz stuff is crazy sweet!...
Yea! One of the best versins of this classic I have heard. Phillip's piano is hot,Jimmy is on fire,Frank is tutorialing and Dean is a professor on class. I personally like the mix but would have lower the volume a little bit on drum when he was not soloing. (I swear i heard some of Porcaro's beats). I've heard this many,many times and still findind new stuff. Grace!
The way I learned it was F#m7, B7, E7#9, A7#5 (or an A7alt). Certainly a lot more strange than just D7 and Db7. Thats whats so fun about this tune and that particular part. You can play what you want and make it your own!
I met Dean Brown a couple times. I only WISH that I'd met Jimmy Haslip!!! But Dean was at my older brother's wedding out on Long Island some years ago. And this guitar STAR gave me his number and said that he'd was open to jam with me. He'd also told me that he would introduce me to my all-time favorite bassist Marcus Miller! I got sooo freakin' scared that I'd tore up Dean's contact info. And I'm STILL regreting it!!!!! Dean is such a humble and down-to-earth dude. And Marcus is the same. I would still LOVE to have the opportunity to sit with and under these legends and LEARN!!!!!
Great work on the bass, he is not only left handed but the strings on the bass is for right handed, so he just flipped the bass upside down with the low notes on the bottom.. TOTALLY CRAZY, I have never seen such thing.
Wrong turn-around in the Real Book! Brandon Miller here's someone's take that's more like Wayne, Miles and Herbie do it: in Descending movement, F#-7b5, F7Alt (occasionally with F# in the bass), E7Alt, A7alt. Especially listen to the bass!
Just because someone uses the real book doesn't mean they are bad musicians. To memorize a progression, then transpose it to a different key in your head fast and then play it, that might take some time. I really like some melodies embellished/remixed a bit to still fit with chords and some melodies are very boring played how they are written in the real book to me and many Jazz musicians play a melody a bit different each time they play even their own melodies. I do really like how they guitarist made the melody on this song here. They remixed the song in four well which is impressive because the song is in 6/8.
Okay now... What is up with the right handed 6 string bass being flipped over and played left handed? Or am I missing something here? It just sounds so fluent and natural. Super tight man. What a blast it must be for you guys to hook up and jam like this. Great timing and chops all around. This is what it's all about for a jazz musician I believe.
Gerard Guitarist its a lefty bass with the sttings reversed. he probably learned upside down on a right handed bass. there really isnt a reason it wouldnt sound just as fluid. he still has the same notes haha
The A7 doesn't resolve to the Cm tho. One could do 2-5s from E-. Otherwise the D7 to Db7 to Cm7 makes for some nice possibilities and resolves properly.
Dean Brown - Rest in Peace.
Miss you Dean, thanks for the music you taught me.

i could not have said it better. thanks
beautifully said my man....i would have given any thing to have these sessions available to me when i started to play in clubs in the seventies.
Really true!
It's great to have legendary guitarist Dean Brown producing and performing on my new Ghost Jazz Trio album Groovin Smooth to release in March 2023. He's an amazing talent on every level. His contributions to the music world is unmatched and invaluable.
🔥🔥🔥 I've been a fan since he was with Marcus Miller.
That bass solo was unbridled fire!
I ve met Mr dean Brown in New morning paris...what a musician and humble guy!RIP legendary unique guitariste may your soul rest in peace with all great musicians(georges duke John Blackwell David Sanborn..........)
that drummer is insanely good
..yes Frank is a BEAST >>
Yes! As they all are great, the drummer seems to stand out as superb.
yeah so good. such finesse. not too loud either. right in the perfect slot
really like his take on footprints
The drummer is certified beast! I still have his instructional drum course on VHS!
Six years now and I keep coming back to this video!!!
Me too!
watching someone playing a righty bass left handed always just melts my brain
You can see the piano player got chill bumps! Also, Jimmy Haslip rocks.
Wow! Love Philippe Saisse's playing, but the other guys are no slouches either!
Everyone seems to miss how good the bass player is! Who’s holding down the groove? Keep on doing it Jimmy!
Great bassist and somehow always the coolest person in the room.
all theses guys are great..saw dean quite a bit, years ago with Billy cobham, a forever fan ..
...this is just ridiculous, and superb at the same time !!! Them drums smoked a cigarette after that :)
Killing it on drums, Mr. Briggs!! Very nice! :)
Thank you!
Omg!!! Can’t believe I’ve never seen this!!! Dean use to be my guitar teacher! He’s as amazing as a teacher as he is a player! Amazing!!!
Absolutely and 100% exquisite way of performing a standard like Footprints. You friends, are awesome. Thank you for sharing a valuable recientemente session. Greetings from Guanajuato, Mexico
5:35 love the guitar solo here with fancy footwork -
I want to learn to dance like Dean Brown.
He was getting down lol
Show some love for Frank Briggs!
get down Frank!
I agree: they are all excellent musicians. But, man, Frank Briggs is something else!
Amazing ! The bassiste plays with inverted strings ! so high level !
Every solo is just amazing
The original Realbook had the changes for the turnaround as | D7 | Db7 | ...I'm not sure if that's correct? Also seen it as | F#-11b5 F13#11 | E7alt. A7alt | OR
|F#7(b5) E7#9 | D7(alt) G7#5 | Cmin 11 etc.
Some of these chords are interchangeable if you analyze them.... anyway, for anyone interested.
Another approach to keep things simple is to play it as a C minor blues in 3/4 or 6/8, and simply alter the D7 and Db7 to | D7#9(#5) | Db7#9 | (or similar) to bring it back to the Cmi7.
F#-11b5 F13#11 | E7alt. A7alt
Such beautiful harmony
I think Herbie's comping was F#m7b5 F13#11 | E7alt. A7alt. Real Book wrote it wrongly.
F7(+11) Cmaj7/E Bbmaj7/D Db7(+11)
I played it like that once
The drummer being patient lol
Awesome drummer, aesome jam
He like I don’t know bout all this harmony shit lol
It's so cool to see these guys crackin their heads on the progression.
Jimmy is my main man.
I remember GRP All Big Band play this song footprints
I LOVE THE STUDIO JAMS A LOOOOOOOTTTTT!!
I have bass classes at LAMA with Jimmy Hasslip.Great guy and superb bass player!
Frank Briggs has a tremendous pocket.; what a sweet player.

Glad you like this. As the producer of this series, I have to say, this session was indeed one of my favorites.

The bass player's killing it, too! Niceness!! :)
Real musicians. Brilliant!
The 4/4 version they are playing compared to the 6/4 on the original has a surprisingly great feel to it.
Haslip you magnificent BEAST!
I love the footwork at the end of his solo. @ 6:36 lol ... I don't know what you'd call that move. :-)
The music is jamming!
Great playing, love their take on this tune...

...👏👏👏🥁

That drummer is brilliant!
Amazing! Great to see a Fender Stratocaster in a jazz band and demystify that Stratocaster is not for jazz.
Amen..If you watch some old Bob Wills swing stuff, you might catch some with Eldon Shamblin playing a strat. He sounds like Joe Pass! Eldon had a strat numbered 00002!! ..Ed Bickert played a Tele and his jazz stuff is crazy sweet!...
exactly - guitars dont play jazz - people do

Hermosa interpretación !! Saludos desde Chile !!
Lively and engaging musical conversation!
Great band, collectively. Couldn't wait to hear where they went next throughout the entire tune.
How good are these guys, thank you for making my day, been playing this for years but ya’ll have given me inspiration, keep on doing it!
That drummer is amazing...
Lovely bassist - very nice drummer.
Playing this tune as 4/4 became very popular. But they played great.
All amazing cats but the pianist is out of this world!
de gustibus.. i think guitarist is out of this world!
MixatoFreeKill yea very good guitarist
I think they are all neighbours.
Great drummer & band.
O man...everyone in this is amazing!
The way I learned it was F#m7, B7, E7#9, A7#5 (or an A7alt). Certainly a lot more strange than just D7 and Db7. Thats whats so fun about this tune and that particular part. You can play what you want and make it your own!
This is great.......all top shelf players. But the drummer is teaching here. Listen.
Frank Briggs is the only guy here I'd not heard of before , but what a tasty player !
F# m7/b5- > B7alt, E m7/b5- > A7alt, and quick shift through trit. subst. to the Cm tonic. Confirmed by Shorter
VassilisArt what do you mean by shift through tritone sub? tritone of which chord?
you re right, i play it that way. i ve heard endless discussion about it during the years, tho
WOW Thank you!
Unbelievably good!
Drummer plays like a boss.
Incredible drummer
very nice version
the drummer is the one handing out the realbook! Haha
Wow the look the drummer gives during his solo at 8:43
Wonderful and such a great piano solo....

This has got to be the best version of Footprints I've ever seen :D
Saisse played this : EM7/F# GM7/A D7 #5#9 G7 #5b9
such a nice ride sound!
Great work on the bass, he is not only left handed but the strings on the bass is for right handed, so he just flipped the bass upside down with the low notes on the bottom..
TOTALLY CRAZY, I have never seen such thing.
lol they're using The Real Book... I Guess they are humans like the rest of us lol
Yea I breathed a sigh of relief too when they pulled that out!
Funny how that is a common feeling.I felt the same. I guess it doesn't make them less musicians like a lot of people think :-)
Wrong turn-around in the Real Book! Brandon Miller
here's someone's take that's more like Wayne, Miles and Herbie do it: in Descending movement,
F#-7b5, F7Alt (occasionally with F# in the bass), E7Alt, A7alt. Especially listen to the bass!

@Ted Stryker that's the one I am using
Knew Dean and Philippe while at Berklee in mid 70s. No I was not in the same league then or now.
what a piano solo!!!
Musica hermosa -
beautiful music
This great!
Im liking the sort of Samba vibe Im getting from this jam
Fort those who don't know much Haslip check his fantastic bass lines on Gino Vannelli's "Brother to brother" album.
And the work with The Yellow Jackets
Alan Holdsworth
Was just listening to that album yesterday
Great stuff, guys! :)
Awesome!!!!
Fantastic!!!!
Magnifique !!
That drummer wow
....one of Jack DeJohnette's students - obviously!
Okay now... What is up with the right handed 6 string bass being flipped over and played left handed? Or am I missing something here? It just sounds so fluent and natural. Super tight man. What a blast it must be for you guys to hook up and jam like this. Great timing and chops all around. This is what it's all about for a jazz musician I believe.

3:37 so I can steal this lick for my audition
That bass solo is clearly illegal! Gr-e-e-e-a-t tone!
+bezuglich
Right On. Jimmy's Tone. Great solo.
+bezuglich He should be in jail i agree
+Gabriel Sylla No no; just confiscate his bass!
+bezuglich ah ah ah
JIMMY DA YELLA JACKET!!!!
nice interpretation
Just watched a video of a great TV music show -- Midnight Music. The band had Philippe Saisse on kbs. He looked like a 12 yo boy!
lovely play harmony on apex hundred...
SICK!
Formidable musique jazz
superb
It's a tri-tone substitution
How did the Realbook get it so wrong? I've always wondered...
drummer got some tight groove
LOL, D7 to Db7 is the changes that says 'i ain't play jaz.'
I believe it's really D13 to Dbmaj7 Cm. they played the melody incorrectly too.
.
Freddy Mclain idk, the most common way i've heard it is F#-7b5 B7#5 E-7b5 A7#5. but it is played different ways even by Wayne himself.
The A7 doesn't resolve to the Cm tho. One could do 2-5s from E-. Otherwise the D7 to Db7 to Cm7 makes for some nice possibilities and resolves properly.
A7 b9 is equivalent to Bb dim which is equivalent to Db dim which revolves to cm which is how you get from a7 to cm in Stella
although he looks like the dry off guy at the car wash, my man on drums is killin' throughout
I'm loving these sessions. They're gems!
I heard that Dean Brown passed on? Is it true?
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Thank you for being the fan. We appreciate it. And Dean Brown is very alive and well, and still performing at the top of his game.👍😊
@@StudioJams that's fantastic news!! Glad to hear that he's alive and doing well. Thank you so much for the Music.
in the beginning. the drummers like, just get the key right guys lets jam!
Footprints is very special to play :P
Wait, in D? Now I have to go get my D drum kit...
Sooo sweeet on the skins
