The list of great albums that you two recorded together is absolutely incredible: Miles, Freddie, George Benson, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, etc. Wow!! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I am honored🙏🏾🙏🏾
I had the pleasure to see Jack play with Charles Lloyd at the Village Theatre (later named The Fillmore East) in around 1967. I went to the concert with friends including the late Bob Berg. On piano was Keith Jarrett. It was beautiful.
@@drumqtips a few weeks later we saw JohnColtrane on stage with Pharoh Sanders together Hershel Ali, on drums, Alice Coltrane on piano, anyway the audience was very high and friendly and many asked us how it was that us young kids were at such a hip concert. I told them that one day I would play sax for John Lennon and that Bob Berg was going to play with Miles Davis. No one really believed it but they were amused by our confidence. The music was amazing Trane and Pharaoh were doing Avant Gerde phase very strong full of overtones and odd modalities. We loved it but Bob wanted to hear hardcore bop that made him famous. Back to Jack and Keith with Charles the playing was unbelievably surreal I was in awe of the mind meld, well- rehearsed, long set that included “Forest Flower”. Fantastic playing. Several nights we conned our way into the top of The Village Gate, we saw James Moody quartet. And Jimmy Owens quartet. On the east side of the village we saw an amazing show by alto man John Handy, sextet with a violin, playing “If Only They Knew” it was also breathtaking.
I cant remember if jack said this about himself or someone else said it about him but it described his drumming like clothes in a dryer. Continuously going around and around with the clothes dropping to the bottom at random times only to once again be swept up in a perpetual circular motion. Pretty spot on if you ask me. Thnx Q.
It’s a great quote and it opened my eyes (ears!) to how to loosen up and get away from obsessing about metronomic time. His playing breathes so much and sounds so natural even when he plays a busy phrase. John Riley has that quote in one of his amazing books.
I love Jack! He has such a unique sound and to me it all starts with his distinctive ride cymbal sound. I saw Jack play at a Modern Drummer Festival in NJ in the later half of the 90s. He literally drove by the line of folks waiting to get in. He was driving an old brown station wagon with his drums in the back. Everyone went crazy and I’ll never forget thinking how humble he seemed. The other time I saw Jack play live was with this very trio at Carnegie Hall around 2002. That was a special night too. FP
The Keith Jarrett trio is without question my most favorite trio of all time, with one of my most favorite drummers, JD. Thanks for showing this, I was waiting to hear your take on Jack with this very special trio. Chuck C
@@drumqtips I like that pun intended comment, I love a good sense of humor. Did you like the Keith Jarrett trio ? To me all three were monster musicians.
You just bought back nostalgia for me, I remember burning that complete cd set when I was at FSU. I completely listened to the every cd everyday. It completely changed my life.
I was lucky enough to be able to take about 5 lessons with Jack at his home in Upstate NY when I was a senior in high school. At the time I was really into Billy Cobham & didn't really know that much about Jack. I would record the lessons on a cassette. The first few lessons I was not really getting it but eventually I started to hear & understand the depth of Jack's playing. He would play some drums for me & then go to a clavinet type of keyboard & we would play tunes. I listened to the last of the lessons l had done with him recently & could not believe how much stuff he was playing on that keyboard, his soloing was amazing. Indeed the kind of drummer that can't be copied, like Elvin, Tony etc. Quincy you're the kind of guy I could hang out with & listen to music for hrs. with! Thanks so much for your videos.
Fabulous! Finally got to see Jack live a few years back at Lincoln Center with his group "Hudson". Incredible. My suggestion for another: my man Clarence Penn. I get so inspired by his playing, his creativity, musicality, texture and colors.
I am very happy to see your reaction video about Jack Dejohnette. JD is top one of a few drummer who make me love drumming. I had questions about his playing which I can only ask him or another very good drummer like him. So, your examination and comments about his playing is priceless for me. . Thank you again. I appreciated.
Oh forgot to mention Rick Beato whom I have followed for a long time. Very knowledgeable on all instruments across all styles of music and humble with it. Thoroughly recommend him to everybody.
Thank You Quincy! Jack is one of my all-time Favorites!! Jack is unbelievable!! Im happy To have suggested him twice!!! Thank you so Much for the time counter and top of form Indicator awesome training tool!
your reaction, and keeping the form and marking it seems like some sort of youtube revalation,,inovation!,, i have just discovered you but seems like a new way of getting inside the tunes, i have heard this song 100 times but never kept the form like that,,, your a bad cat!!!
another dimension of knowledge... I love the way he completely stops playing hi hat in the last forms of the solo... I mean he must have so much coordination automatisms in his left foot that it is clearly a way to restrict himself to be as creative as he can in the moment... incredible... reminds me (just a link in my mind) of a video I seen from Marcus Gilmore playing his kit upside down (lefty) at tiny desk... you can feel the guys who keep searching and learning way beyond mastery... Jack the monster 😁😁😁
@@drumqtips Thanks. I've seen just about all the great musicians from that era in London. When I was a student in the early 90s, those guys were still in their prime. Now I am looking back and many are a lot older or passed on, and I think how lucky I am (was). For instance, between 1990 and 2005 I saw DeJohnette with Hancock, Metheny and Holland on his Parallel Realities Tour. Tony Williams Qunitet, Jackie McLean, Greg Osby, Brecker Brothers, Bob Berg & Mike Stern, Yellowjackets, Chick Corea Elektrik Band, Allan Holdsworth, Terri Lynne Carrington, Barbara Dennerlein, Zawinul Syndicate. Dennis Chambers, Billy Cobham. Peter Erskine, Bill Bruford, Bobby Hutcherson, McCoy Tyner, Robben Ford, John Abercrombie. Eddie Henderson, John Scofield. Geri Allen Trio, Marcus Miller, Michel Camillo. Maceo Parker, Charles Lloyd, Roy Ayers, Lenny White, Victor Bailey with Larry Corryel. Wayne Shorter, Stanley Clarke, Jean-Luc Ponty, Paul Jackson (bass) Among others! i saw some of these musicians multiple times. I look back now and its like wow!!! I am blessed to see these musicians.
Thanks for the sharing! That drum "chorus" over the bass was great! And btw since I practice quite a lot with your 30' blues workout my form keeping trough the blues has improved amazingly! Have a nice week!
New Directions, with Lester Bowie, Eddie Gomez and John Abercrombie blew my mind. I spent a few months trying to figure out what they were doing, and many years trying to catch a little of Jack DeJohnette's playing. His drumming with Bill Evans in Montreux is also a must. Being pianist frees him from the bars. Sometimes, another musician gets a little lost...
I don't know if it counts due to the heavy effects of Teo Macero, but Go Ahead John on Big Fun is ahead of it's time. It's so disorienting, but with a hip hop remix chopping that I'm always seeking to replicate when I play.
Probably my favorite JD album is Special Edition: Irresistible Forces. To me, that is pretty much all the introduction one needs to get the gist of JD's sound, style, approach, and collaboration with other musicians.
I love Jack Dejohnette since I heard him on 80/81 back in the day. Amazing!!! Thank you Mr.Davis for the video. Could you pls make a video on Gary Novak, I know he's a newer generation drummer but excellent. Very musical at the same time aggressive. Thank you!
Man, I did not know Jerry Lewis was such a fan. He shows up at all these live shows. He's either hiding in the wings, or, beneath the stage's trap door. 'Course, Jerry was a drummer, too. Maybe, he just wants to hear up-close, though I know he didn't have the talent to play the skins with these guys. Great selection, Q, and thanks for calling out the form.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial on Jack!! He is truly one of my favorite drummers of all time!! I actually enjoy a lot of his solo albums with other artists featured, what are your personal thoughts on those solo albums Quincy?
Hey quincy wincy spider, another master class of mind bending madness, my only concern was the asian people watching the performance , they were in ponchos i hope no -one caught a chill or a sniffle, god bless u quincy , u r a living legend, any chance of a overveiw of the billy cobham please, much love!!!!!.
Another Great Quincy video! But I believe that DeJohnette is French and as such the "ette" is pronounced as an "A" and not as "ET"...just like his drumming...Smooth Man! Well done from drummer in vegas
I like that Jack DeJohnette video, but here is a link to another great performance. With Miles around 69. Not a lot of forage of Jack, just that incredible groove. ua-cam.com/video/_CIZr5vH-m4/v-deo.html
Got invited by friends to see this trio four times over the course of 15 years. I never went because Jarrett's weirdo artist behavior always put me off, but Jack is killing. He can overplay at times, but he has an approach that moves away from typical "other drummer-derived things," you hear everyone else play. I'm guessing cats like Carlock are deep into this guy because they are copping that whole double stroke thing going around the drums, albeit less aggressive. I still use a 22 flat ride like Jack had early on with KJ when he was with Istanbul. He'd use it for a lot of the quasi-latin grooves this trio would come up with and on heads before opening up for solos on his main. He'd play a lot of quieter rim-shots on toms with those grooves too, which seem to work well with those undersized Sonor drums, for reasons I can't explain. Can see the influence on Bill Stewart, like the ride cymbal "barks" with those dry rides. I used to run that shit into the ground! I had a teacher get on me for that and I just said, "Man...Nothing Personal." Who gets that one?
Good call with the influence he had on Carlock and B. And very good joke - A+. Too bad you never went to see Mr. Jarrett, a brilliant musician whether it’s our cup of tea or not. Oh well, we all have to live with our Choices. And if we end up regretting them, well then that’s just The Cost of Living😉. Lol
@@drumqtips With age comes regret, of course. More my issue than his for sure. He still kills with one hand and I'm on UA-cam. lol Btw, Q you mean "cup of green tea" yes?
Dear Quincy, I wish to see a feature of Jorge Rossy (played with Brad Mehldau). Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/PeiOyAWrDCQ/v-deo.html In the quartet figuration with guitar instead of piano, a drummer has to adjust differently. I think Jorgy's drumming has a abstract components. In his solo, he stays in the form but uses many great pauses to dramatisize. Hope you'll find it interesting. Or take the clip with Brad Mehldau, where he drops a stick and grap it while continueing playing: ua-cam.com/video/tHWtwegIS7E/v-deo.html
Ha! Love this comment! It’s all based on the quarter note and being able to keep track of where beat 1, beat 2, beat 3 and beat 4 are in the midst of all of the incredible interactions, cross, rhythms, and syncopated rhythm’s that are happening in the group. So I’m just focusing on the beat off of which everyone is playing. Even though they’re playing off of it in a very abstract and free manner, they never lose it. Hope that helps a little :-)
Thanks, Q! Incredible video. Jack is a true inspiration. I play along to Bouncing with Bud off of After The Fall almost daily to practice keeping form. (I do the same with tracks from your store too 🙏) The solo is 9 choruses and I’m mesmerized by how they do it. A video to consider: the Ray Brown Tribute with Hutch, McBride, & Benny Green: ua-cam.com/users/liveeOrjoxnkZi8?feature=share
Jack Dejohnette is one of the blueprints!!! You should react to Elvin Jones next! Specifically his solo 16 minutes into this recording of him playing A Love Supreme live in Japan 1988 ua-cam.com/video/4Fa4eqxOCIY/v-deo.html

I'm a drummer and Jack DeJohnette is one of my drum heroes! Greetings from Brazil!

I gotta do some more studying of his style. Really hard to “break down” like other drummers I’ve done. We’ll see:)
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve never seen this performance of Jack before, this is awesome!!!
My pleasure!
Thank you Quincy.Jack is amazing ,and a truly unique Master of the drums.
Absolutely!
I'm a Huge Fan and Thank you! Twelve Measure Blues!
My pleasure, Alexander!

Oh! Love Karriem. Known him since we both lived in Michigan YEARS ago. Good suggestion.
@@drumqtips I have a CD "Ray Brown trio Live at Starbucks "......his playing is phenomenal on that one! Would love to see a video of that one!

His book, "the Art of Modern Jazz Drumming" co-authored with Charlie Perry, is an overlooked gem imo
Probably my favorite JD album is Special Edition: Irresistible Forces. To me, that is pretty much all the introduction one needs to get the gist of JD's sound, style, approach, and collaboration with other musicians.
