      It would be a dream to be scrutinized by a man like Ray. Unless you a crap and he tells you to go back to the beginning where you belong and learn where the notes are on the fingerboard. 30 years ago I had my professor pacing up and down at a jazz session where No Charts were allowed and you only had yer ears and instrument with you. I was nervous at first. My professor is 70 now and studied from Ray Brown early 70's.
      But for Ray to tell me what to do where am wrong is Not a scrutiny in any shape or form. It's a privilege to say the least.

    Mr. Brown was a class act, a gentleman through and through. His devotion to his practice regimen was/is Legendary! Known for keeping to his practice regimen even while touring, he practiced his arco technique for hours in his hotel room. The result is the assurance and flawless, seemingly effortless mastery on his instrument. The treasure of videos, like this one, of him instructing following generations is truly inspiring. Thanks for uploading.

      Hi @Glen MacPherson I have done the transcription so get in touch if you'd like it. Though, I would say the best way to transcribe this is to internalise it using the recording. It will help you understand how RB navigates through the changes better IMHO. This will also enable you to transpose through any key. His lines on this Ab blues work anywhere on the neck and each line is a composition in it's own right. What a fertile and creative musical genius he was.

    Hands down, the double-bass sounds much better than any electric bass. BUT you need to be there in person to feel the vibrations the double-bass send throughout the air. It's DIVINE. The electric bass doesn't do this although it can create loud sound but the feel just isn't there.

    Ray, in his early years was a student of the piano, having taken lessons until he became interested in the upright bass violin. His knowledge and experience with chords prepared him to be a master of improvisation, able to provide the right chord at the right time. He developed his own tone sound that became his signature.

    • @bustabass9025
      @bustabass9025 3 роки тому

      Every double bassist has his/her own sound and playing style. Comes from decades of familiarity with the instrument. Usually developed from childhood, in an elementary school band or orchestra, and continued throughout the life of the musician.
      Paul Chambers (whose style and playing I prefer, and try to emulate), Ron Carter, Jimmy Blanton, and scores of others have also left their indelible mark on jazz bass, with this remarkable instrument. Each contributing to the evolution of the double bass. From a single pitch percussive choral outline note, to a melodic as well as harmonic voice in the ensemble, it has come a long way.
      Ray Brown is definitely one of the masters. However, there are many...far too numerous to mention here!

    Good god dam, Ray, lay it out! BUT, this vid seems like a bit more of him stroking the hell out of some licks versus teaching at times. Everyone is in reverence, but the students needed fundamentals. None of them swing; all of them needed guidance as to how to lead properly. Still, just an amazing, timeless display of how our jazz pillars were the real deal. Ray, Oscar, Coltrane, and on and on. The real deal.

      Yeah, you can tell she really practiced the song. But she struggles when she has to play in a different key, and she tends to rush when playing it more slowly. What sets Ray Brown apart from the students is his adaptability. He can play in any key, any meter, any style, any tempo and keep perfect time. That comes from his wealth of experience compared to them.

    • @henridelagardere4584
      @henridelagardere4584 7 років тому +8

      "Wealth of experience", you're spot-on! His generation, and the previous one, they enjoyed the riches of diversity. It may very well have been that 'jazz giant' Ray Brown actually played for waltzing couples, bop after hours, Broadway or Brahms, tiny clubs and glitzy venues.
      There are many kids nowadays who will most likely never live up to their great potential, as social life has actually become less diverse than it used to be. Gigs that would enable them to be learning by doing are hard to come by. Sounds paradoxical, but it's the awful truth.

    I suspect this could be transferred to a fretless electric bass?

    When I look at the hair and at the dress I guess that it could be in the early seventies. When he is talking about the end of the Rock & Roll era it could be the late fifties and the sixties.??

      There is the date at the end in roman numeral. But definition is too low. I cannot get it for sure but if the last ones are XXVI as i see it, it would be 1976. This video is a treasure.
