    1:54 "There are really two traditions of bossa nova: bossa nova as it's performed by Brazilians, and then bossa nova as it's performed by Americans as propagated through American jazz schools." Actually, there's a third tradition: bossa nova as it's performed by Japanese musicians. I don't have the musical vocabulary to describe how it's different, but I can tell it has a distinct sound.

    "It's just music." That is so true. I learned that lesson on 9/11. I was in a toxic jobbing band at the time. The name dropping about how great all these other local players were, rubbing our noses in it, combined with the constant dagger looks and "stink eye" over every little minor detail that wasn't perfect, particularly with guys who were subbing or an add on to that evening's gig who were sight reading poorly written charts was bad enough. The leader playing the victim after the gig as if he'll never get another call because the tenor player went a little out on a standard during dinner set, all the anal BS, was simply destroyed when I saw those buildings collapse. I quit some weeks after as I was doing a lot of soul searching, trying to figure out what was so important about music that people make a federal case out of being human. And it struck me, I was miserable because music had turned into this horrible habit like an addicting drug that players would feel so much pressure to be perfect that they constantly self-flagellated as a perverse means of comfort. I forgot why I fell in love with playing music in the first place. When I was a kid, it was fun and it gave me joy...simply. So, I bailed and looked for something else. I ended up playing with a bar band with people I knew that had an absolute blast on stage every single night. The audiences loved it, I could wear jeans, sneakers and a T shirt and the kicker, I was making comparable money without the sweaty tux, the load ins where I had to navigate the labyrinthian downtown hotel loading docks and kitchens, nor did I have to put up with the bullshit. I was smiling again and playing better than ever. At the end of the night bandmates patted each other on the back and during the gig if there was a clusterfuck, everybody had a good chuckle over it. It's not the end of the world. We're not performing surgery and we're not rushing into a building trying to find living humans that was destroyed by terrorists. It's just music.

    • @weedanwine
      @weedanwine 3 роки тому +1

      As a not so amateur producer I can say you're 100% correct. Personally I've always had a very basic music theory understanding that I bought to music production but honestly thought it was all too hard for me, so I dived right into the production and engineering side of music.
      15 years and 5 releases later I decided that not knowing theory and having any instrumental skills is what's holding me back, so now I'm working on that side of things. So I'm learning and honestly it's been a really good decision!
      In a way I'm glad I've done it this way around, it means I've grown as an artist and understand what I'm striving for in my sound. So learning more theory improves the way I can create "my sound" and having better instrumental skills means getting ideas down becomes quicker. You spend less time noodling around the piano roll/midi controller, although do not underestimate the power of noodling. It's amazing how much you can come up with just knowing basic intervals and noodling about! If you add great production on top of that then it can end in some grea results.
      Keep on creating!

    4:50 I'm working on my B.Mus in Commercial Music at a state university, and our program has the option to focus on eng/prod or comp/arr instead of instrumental performance; all the students still need to play at least one instrument and/or sing, as well as be involved in at least one performing ensemble, but instrumental performance doesn't necessarily have to be the primary focus. I find this to be an effective balance for training well-rounded and versatile musicians.

    Another thing that’s notable when discussing the different feels of different keys, even in 12TET is the keys we are used to hearing by instrument; for example we are used to hearing guitars in G major/E minor or C major/A minor so we can make things sound a bit less expected by using other keys; some are less strange like switching to F major or D major, but using something like F minor on a guitar can sound strange, especially with the open strings that will often sneak in there adding in some hidden dissonance. Similarly, we’re used to hearing violins in variations of G, D, A, and E, banjos in G, etc.

      Guitarist here. I absolutely *love* experimenting with open strings on chords that wouldn't normally have them. For example: (In drop D tuning) 1-3-5 Dm with open D, B, and E. Or Bm7 (started on the A string), but instead of playing it barred, you let the G and E strings ring. I don't know what it is about that maj 2 AND min 2 together that sounds so surprisingly nice, but it does.

    • @kenkinnally6144
      @kenkinnally6144 3 роки тому

      Partly because most people do not have perfect pitch, but also just in general I really question this notion that different keys have different feels, especially in a culture that regularly uses a 12 tone tempered system of music. The main way playing a piece in a different key matters is if by transposing a piece up or down too far from it's 'normal' key you are pushing a particular instrument(s), including a human voice, too close to it's technical limit for making a clean, clear note, or just significantly changing it's timbre. As a piano player I don't worry too much about that for most songs but if I played French horn or saxophone I'd be concerned about it more often. Wind and certain string instruments are made in a variety of keys for just that reason. Of course on piano if a certain piece reaches the upper and/or lower limits of the keyboard in certain parts then it matters more where you are 'starting' because that will determine what that very high part or low part sounds like. But once again that is because of the technical limits of an 88 key piano: the very high notes get kind of 'flat' and cold sounding and the very low notes get kind of 'rumbly' or boomy, less distinct. So that melodic line or chord when played at those fringes will have a different emotional impact or effect because of the mechanical nature of the instrument and the sound it produces. Not because A major is "strong and noble" whereas C sharp major is "yearning or reflective".
      Another way it could matter is if by transposing a piece up or down, in other words playing it in a different key, you are simply taking a melody or arrangement that works better in a certain pitch range and putting it in too high or low of a new pitch range for it to have the same subjective effect. In other words it's the particular song and instrumentation that works better in a certain area of pitch range. Change it slightly and it might not matter. Transpose it five whole steps and you might have big problems. You wouldn't expect to hear Frank Sinatra singing up in the area of that guy in Air Supply or Rush, or vice versa. And it would not be just the fact that Sinatra had been crooning in E before he switched keys and the rock bands had been wailing away in B before they switched keys that would make things drastically different. It would be what the particular melodies and instrumental parts of those songs demanded in terms of pitch/octave range, and changing the timbre of all the instruments extending into those new ranges. Plus the learned cultural baggage of not being used to hearing singers we already know well, singing outside of their accustomed range and style. It would not be because E major as a key is "easy and swinging" whereas B major is "athletic or hard rocking". Any key can conjure up anything if the right piece is played in it.
      As musicians we may get used to certain styles of music normally played in certain keys, like some of the flat keys for horn arrangements in Stax or old R&B. So because of the the technical nature of the instruments used, those songs were and are normally played in those keys and we associate them with certain things or subjective feelings or memories. It is not because the key of E flat itself conjures up the Mississippi Delta.
      So if every day we hear the opening to 'Also Sprach Zarathrusta' because it's the sound our computer makes when we turn it on, and one night we hear a local school band or orchestra play it transposed up a step and we think "that sounds different", and like most people we are not blessed with perfect pitch, it's because we are so use to hearing it on a regular basis that we notice the difference, which I guess would be considered a form of relative pitch. If we think it sounds better the old way that's because we are used to it. Maybe those low opening tones don't have quite as much heft raised up a step. If as the piece develops we notice those high woodwinds sound a bit shrill here or there, that might be because in the new transposed key, up a step from what the composer intended, some of the instruments just don't sound quite as lovely pushed to the edge. Not because of some mystical reason that one key has certain characteristics and another key has other characteristics.
      And just because I have no idea when to stop, if you played the opening to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in D minor instead of C sharp minor like it should be, no one would notice the difference. Except for piano tuners, people with perfect pitch, and maybe some classical musicians or aficionados who had just recently heard it or were practising it themselves. Even though C sharp minor is the key of pensive melancholy tinged with a sense of profundity and D minor is clearly the key of rowing in a rented boat on a Sunday afternoon or smoking a spliff in Jamaica.
      Thanks for listening to my rant, I really enjoyed writing it lol. 😊

    1:53, as a brazilian, yes, Db for "Garota de Ipanema" ("Girl from Ipanema") feels way more natural and like "home" to me, I always felt that something was different when listening to english version of this song, not necessarily because of the different language, but something always felt off and I couldn't really put my finger on to why it was and never really looked much into it, but now it makes sense, it was always because of these two versions being in different keys, that makes sense!

Although the examples Adam gave, I felt, is that those tones are assigned to specific inharmonics and notes of a given modes that remain consistent... I think

      Reminds me of Jamerson, where people learn his basslines in the regular rock bass style of playing, in that 'box' usually centred around the 5th to 7th frets, and using alternating finger plucking. It never sounds quite right. Once you learn to use one finger in first position with a lot of open strings, Jamerson lines come alive. It all flows together in the way that he played it, unlike the more stilted sound you get from the more standard approach.

    Whereas other genres are rollercoaster ride of emotions, jazz for me is a safari.
    Riding along familiar roads yet full of little surprises. Enjoying the ride, and going on it again and again to find different things.
    The subsets that focus on technical mastery or boundary-breaking seem more like sports and "art", so while I love them and appreciate them, not my top priority.
    Absolutely love the educational/intellectual approaches too but I just keep going back to the "same" 500 variations of Misty out there when I am in the mood for jazz. :)

    Hey Adam! A couple of curiosities about Bossa Nova and Garota de Ipanema....
    Garota de Ipanema was written in 1962 by Tom Jobim with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes in F, the original key from The Real Book. João Gilberto and Stan Getz changed the key to Db for the album
    Other interesting fact: Bossa Nova is originated from Samba, as it absorbed Jazz influence... although it's never described by their own musicians as an Artistical Movement but rather a Samba Style, since it was developed organically with no Manifesto or proper set of rules. So even though there is no doubt that Bossa Nova has Jazz on its roots, composers such as Carlos Lyra insist on calling it Samba, not Jazz.
    Regardless that 1962 Bossa Nova's show at the Carnegie Hall was considered the introduction of the style to the US public, the US Jazz absorbed later great influence back from Bossa Nova when in 1967 Frank Sinatra invited Tom Jobim for an Album, looking for ways of innovating Jazz - that was being taken over by the Rock in the radio stations. But to be honest I did more of a Historical background research over the subject and never developed any analysis over what technically was brought as Bossa Novas' fresh elements to Jazz, besides the "João Gilberto's batida".
    BONUS interesting fact: Frank Sinatra & Tom Jobim's recording of "Garota de Ipanema" is in F
    I would like to take this opportunity to say that I really enjoy your channel's content...it is always very educative and fun to watch:)
