      @@LetterToGodFromMeToYou You can tell when someone is smart by how they approach learning new things. Dumb people don't bother. Most people will learn it in bits and pieces. Smart people are very deliberate, have a good understanding of how much they don't know yet, and try to learn it methodically.

    Jazz musician explaining harmony to classical musician.
    Jazz: So you've got two basic chords, a tonic and a dominant 7th b9.
    Me: Got it.
    Jazz: Then you remove the root of the dominant leaving you with a diminished 7 chord.
    Me: Okay...
    Jazz: Then you modify the scale.
    Me: Uh-huh..., right...
    Jazz: And then you just go something like doo-bee-doo-bee-dooo-bow-woow.

      I just read in John Dankworth's autobiography that he once collaborated with a symphony orchestra and his jazz musicians constantly got in trouble for improvising when they weren't supposed to. At one point the symphony conductor said in his thick European accent 'Eet ees not jazz, eet ees ta-ta!' For months afterwards back in their own rehearsals the jazz musicians would ask each other 'Ees eet jazz, or ta-ta?' then answer 'oh, ees definitely ta-ta.' XD

      @dylan foley Bebop was always quite intelectual. You don't come far with just playing "whats in your head", the music gets too compex, especially when you play in a combo.

  • @firosuke
    @firosuke 4 роки тому +116

    My impression was that your main gain from studying bebop was to take the sense of freedom and spontaneity (and harmonic insight) back to your classical roots, and that the final piece no longer felt contrived because you stopped trying to "talk bebop", and instead used your native music language to make it your own. To me it didn't sound like bebop (or jazz especially), and yet it was much more personal and authentic because you weren't trying to sound like something else. Maybe travelling to a new country helps us to better understand our own. Thanks for sharing!

    @TheZenguitarguy 5 років тому +128

    As a musician who has spent 50 years looking at improvisation and harmony I can say that your explorations are inspiring and that your approach to the tune was great because it invites another look at the conversation that the song framework represents. Most jazz/blues and improvisationally based music is language that invites a conversation that explores a subject. Too often the structures and certainty of styles overshadow the essence of the conversation and don't explore the limitless possibilities. What attracts me to an improvisor is the way they approach and engage the conversation, not repeat or imitate the conversations that have occurred a thousand times before.
    It is hard because the music of Jazz is intended to be forgotten in that the moment and the exploration are truly in the moment and not intended as a locked down composition, even though the best storytellers sound like they are writing. Also some great improvisors approach playing classical music very differently. A good example is Keith Jarret's recordings of the Shostakivitch preludes and fugues. In jazz the rhythmic propulsion is also an inexplicable sensation in that you can define it or quantify it notationally, to a degree, but each player has his or her own unique interpretation of that rhythmic value. Oscar Peterson feels different than Bill Evans, etc...Your ongoing willingness to explore these stylistic constructs and apply them to your music in pragmatic ways is very beautiful and inspiring. Personally I have heard that tune a million times and my ears really perked up as you started playing and I have listened now several times to follow the threads and ideas you explore to move through the song. Thank you.

Now I am hoping to study things and try things out. Encouragement from a good friend who is an all around musician: jazz pianist, composer, synthesizer amazing amazing comps etc.

      I keep thinking of the story Vladimir Horowitz told about his conversation with Art Tatum (arguably the greatest classical and jazz pianists of the 20th century - and yes, there's plenty of room for argument). He spent weeks working on variations of Tea For Two - Tatum appreciated what he did, then went to the piano and proceeded to blow away Horowitz with his own variations.
      "When did you come up with that?" Horowitz asked. Tatum told him he was just improvising, Horowitz never tried it again. Yet he always appreciated Tatum up to the day he die - and I really do think he was influenced by jazz performers like Tatum when composing his own variations (such as his Carmen Fantasy) - and he would even add a few embelishments during performance. I also always think of someone like Oscar Peterson, who certainly applied classical theory to his playing and composition

You know, with borrowing from siblings and other bebop concepts from Barry Harris, I feel like you might even have enough of a part 2 video, hehe. And if I may be so bold, I might suggest for the interviews connecting with Connor and Billgrahammusic. They're both great, in terms of explaining the Barry Harris style of bebop for piano. I've been practicing for 2 hours a day for 2 years now and have completed moved away from 7th chord thinking and into 6th chord feeling. I feel like I'm channeling Chopin every time I play now, regardless of the chart, even if it's just Rhythm Changes or the Blues.

      SkidMark Johnson in this example it wasn’t like learning a new language and then writing poetry in it. It was like hearing a new language, learning a little about it analytically, and then writing poetry using your old language but which incorporated in a small way some of the sounds you heard in the new language. It was a small set of principles that were analyzed and utilized, vastly smaller than a new language, especially for an experienced musician.

    I’m an untrained musician, a drummer specifically. I’ve played strictly by ear my whole life. Before Corona, I used to hit all the local jams. By the end of the night, you could’ve played with 20 different people in 4 different establishments. Often, you’re just meeting the other musicians for the first time as you walk on stage. After everyone is tuned, someone might say, “ A shuffle in Dog, from the five. Watch for stops. And one, two....” and we’re playing. I’m concentrating on meter, and dynamics. During vocals, or when the piano or harmonica takes a solo, I’ll lay back on the hi hats, keeping things quiet. Then the guitar will take a solo and I’ll move over to the ride cymbal, bring the energy up a little. Meanwhile, I’m very aware of being locked in with the bassist, and making sure my right foot isn’t overplaying the bass line. It’s all about leaving the ego at home, and truly listening to, and serving the music. I recommend getting yourself out there, on stage in front of strangers, outside of your comfort zone. No charts, just ears and go for it! I’m sure you could play the phone book and it would sound incredible; you are a super-skilled musician. Just have to learn to play by instinct.

      I don't think metal would be as big a paradigm shift for classical musicians as bebop. I'm a trained musician and was dismissive of metal for a long time but when I really listened to it realized there was a lot more going on than I thought. The level of technique, musicianship rhythmic and harmonic sophistication kinda' blew me away. This isn't just a schtick, these guys are serious musicians. Lately I've been listening to more metal than anything else. I told other musicians that I'm turning into a metal head and learned most of them are into metal too. I can imagine metal musicians being influenced by Wagner, Strauss and Berlioz.

      ​@@jacksonbrucea I aggree with you. It's a interesting point of view of yours. I'm a musician too and Metal was the genre that put me into music. When I started playing I had no knowledge of musical theory. Then, I started to study and listen to other genres. Now, when I listen to Metal again I have the same perception you have. It's indeed a musical style with its own complexities.
      Despite existing a lot of well trained and educated musicians in metal, it's interesting to point that it's very common to find metal musicians that have no knowledge of music theory at all. In my experience, it's way more common than among musicians that play other genres. Including, a lot of classic metal albuns are made by musicians without musical education. I think that a lot of the metal sound comes from that "naivety". This results in the modal nature of metal and its lack of structure. What do you think about it?

      V G - sorry to jump in but I don’t quite agree. There are certainly some classic metal musicians without formal training, but that hasn’t informed the genre very much imo. The genre itself came from Blues and rock. And then there are heavier sub genres like black metal that can trace their roots back to thrash metal which in turn came from hardcore punk, etc. And if you go back to people like Van Halen, he and a lot of others were extremely influence by classical music and well trained. Van Halen specifically was born into a family of trained musicians and he is much like many of the pioneers in heavy rock/metal.

      Michael Wong, you are soooo right. I am classically trained but play other music from rock to jazz. What Jazz taught me, is that there is no such thing as a wrong note, if you can creatively add context it is immediately justified. This idea which is the basis of modern music is absolutely lost on classical musicians. There are many more such ideas, but I just named an obvious one. The tragedy of classical training is that it is primarily geared to produce symphony orchestra musicians. Basically musicians that need to play a written piece exactly the same as a CNC machine would execute Gcode without any room for improvisation or creativity. Only interpretation is allowed and then about only for the soloists. This was crucial for Classical music to persist 100-200 years ago, but is largely becoming obsolete. The CNC-thing with classical training is really bothering me, and although I received excellent technical ability through classical training, there was 0% creativity (except counterpoint related harmony studies). This video shows clearly the problem classical training encounters when they run into e.g. Bebop. In Bebop you have to internalize the rhythm, you have to internalize the harmony, you have to internalize the syncopation, you have to acquire feel and be spontaneously interesting (latter completely foreign concept for a symphony performer) . All must be internalized and executed spontaneously. In contrast a symphony musician needs none of that and needs to do exactly what is told executing arguably a "Computer Program". There is no creativity or very little internalized understanding of music necessary in the latter. That said, this video by Nahre Sol is refreshing as it makes the same point very openly, but the one thing about Classical training is the excellent technique developed. That gives her playing a very unique flavor playing Bebop. The Mozart rearrangement was spectacular, so is the jazz standard at the end. Very pleasant and unique and she should do more of those arrangements. Classical technique is indispensable.

One can learn all the notes to solos in the Charlie Parker Omni book, but it won't sound like anything unless you get the phrasing right, which only happens by listening to the greats and playing with other musicians, who are experienced in the genre.

    Some things that I missed in the video that I love about bebop:
    Bebop to me exemplifies the West African value of intersubjectivity and it puts a lot of emphasis on the relationship between people - you see this all over the place from dance, to music, to community structure. In music, and in Jazz in particular, the easiest place to see this is in rhythm. Someone might put down the basic underlying beat, like the clave, while other musicians kind of dance around that basic beat. This is why "swing feel" is so hard to notate - because it's not about what our rhythm is doing compared to some platonic ideal of a metronome - it's about what our rhythm is doing compared to someone else's actual rhythm. There's a lot you can say with just a drum beat about someone else's rhythm if you're free from the metronome.
    Bebop in particular is about returning to the West African roots of Jazz, in my opinion. So many musicians hired to play Swing wanted to go to the night clubs after their normal gigs to play Bebop in order to return to the thing that got them into Jazz in the first place. They definitely used what they learned from Swing and you can hear it in Bebop, but it really is a response to the white appeal of Swing and wanting to bring a more intersubjective feeling back into Jazz.
    This to me is the biggest thing to wrap our heads around as western musicians. We are so used to thinking about music in an objective sense: a metronome gives us the beat, and there is such precision around how we're taught to play and how music is written and analyzed. After we learn to "follow the rules" of music as western musicians, THEN we start to learn about how our instrument is supposed to harmonize with the instrument of the person next to us, for example. And in rhythm in particular, the metronome is drilled into is. Sometimes with an actual metronome ticking away as we play, but even just in the progression in the kinds of rhythms we begin to learn: we're taught simple rhythms that always follow the beat and we start with quarter notes and half notes. We're taught that complex rhythms means dividing the beat in half more times, with eighth notes and then sixteenths notes... or if you want to get really advanced, you divide the rhythm into thirds (oh my!) Meanwhile in the tradition of West African music and the genres that it birthed, new musicians start with rhythms that you can't even notate. And it makes intuitive sense to a new learner because it's all about rhythms in relationship to other rhythms - not about rhythms in relationship to some platonic ideal of beats per minute. You don't have to be able to imagine a metronome and count to four, you just you have to be able to hear the clave.
    This is why Bebop piano is so simple on the left hand - it's to make room for the bass. Each musician really has to listen closely to every other instrument because whether it was harmony or rhythm, it was all about what it was doing in relationship to each other instrument, intersubjectively. You literally have nothing to play in a bebop group if you can't hear and respond to what the other musicians are doing.
    I wonder if this is why it was more fun/helpful for you to improvise around bebop than just take a more traditional approach to composition - it gave you someone else to talk with and respond to, rather than just trying to do it all on your own using western methods which are more suited to trying to achieve some platonic ideal of music than to being in relationship to the sounds in the room.
    I loved that cheeky base note at the end!

      Qirn, Initially I thought the comment was going to be a hyper-intellectual piece of rubbish, but I thoroughly agree. Black / African music is a conversation - an interaction between people using instruments. I grew up wanting to learn to play what I heard in church but what was available to be educationally was western classical music, which we thought was the path to playing "chuch-music." (misspelling intended) Eventually I got around to picking up "chuch" music but I never fully mastered the feel. Why? Because I was not immersed in it as a lifestyle. I did not have that interaction with musicians. My classical training was focused on the individual performance and not communal interaction. I did, fortunately, find myself playing Funk / R&B and developed a far better feel than I had from strictly technical, classical training.

Isaac's been going for years to the masterclass and is good friends with Barry. A few more like Brian de Lima, and Connor keep the tradition alive. Howard Rees of course produced the very important workshop videos.
    Regarding harmony, I would say Bebop has more in common with Partimento than typical roman numeral analysis or even the Berklee chord scale/harmony system. Partimento deals more with figures and intervals rather than “chords”, and would be a good way to look at this music. A month or two ago, Barry met an 8 year genius kid who was brought up in Partimento training.. he turned to the whole class after hearing her and said “she’s playing everything correct.”

      Frantzes Elzaurdia agreed. Note that that B in the c maj 7 is part of the diminished note set.
      While the A in the cmaj 6 isnt- its more stable.
      One approach is to think about adding notes from the associated diminished scale to the Maj6 tonic. This opens up a “continuum of color”- the more diminished notes you add to the tonic the more diminished in color its gonna get.
      Theres a polarity- tonic:diminished
      thats great fun to play with.

    I was eagerly waiting to see what you did with All The Things you Are - wow !! So original but I also found it equally moving as the original tune. Heading to your other videos to learn about your aother adventures!

    Wow, that was so cool! I concur, if I knew this kind of stuff when I was young. I grew up an aspiring rock/blues bass player and was exposed to heavy doses of jazz (my oldest brother plays the tenor). And I too struggled trying to grasp All The Things You Are and Oleo. I ended up a career symphonic player (but have moved on to other pursuits). Thanks to the University of UA-cam, my musical education continues (I dig Rick Beato). Your video really helps put everything into perspective, and as you demonstrated, music really is one long interconnected continuum!

    Loved the payoff of your final arrangement not being bebop but being you informed by the vocabulary and sensibility of bebop. Fascinating little arrangement.

    I'm favorably surprised by the result, but maybe not for the reason I expected. I don't think it really sounds very bebop, but it really sounds a lot like the pieces that modern composers wrote when they were inspired by jazz, like Ravel's violin sonata no 2 with the "blues" mvt. It's not jazz yet, but as constructed piece inspired by jazz, it's really beautiful and interesting.

    14:51 absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of the disney intro, I think that the chord progression is built in a somewhat similar way but I'd have to check!
    Love your videos Nahre :)

    As a classically trained pianist turned jazz guitarist, as someone who wants to see classical music rediscover its improvisational groove, and as someone who loves Barry Harris, this is beautiful on so many fronts. Great video.
