Born on November 13, 1973 in Philadelphia, Ari Hoenig, was exposed at an early age to a variety of musical experiences. His father is a conductor and classical singer, his mother a violinist and pianist. Accordingly, at 4 years of
age, Ari began studying the violin and piano. He began playing drums at age twelve, and by age fourteen he was
honing his skills with other young jazz musicians at Philly clubs such as Ortlieb's Jazz Haus.
Ari attended the prestigious University of North Texas for three years, where he studied with Ed Soph while playing with the "One O'Clock" Lab Band. Wanting to be closer to New York City, in 1995 Ari transferred to William
Patterson College in northern New Jersey. He soon found himself playing for legendary Philadelphia organist
Shirley Scott and working regularly in New York City.
Shortly thereafter, Ari moved into Brooklyn and found himself playing extensively with a variety of groups, including Jean-Michel Pilc Trio, Kenny Werner Trio, Chris Potter Underground, Kurt Rosenwinkel Group, Joshua Redman
Elastic band, Jazz Mandolin Project and bands led by Wayne Krantz, Mike Stern, Richard Bona, Pat Martino, Dave
Liebman, and Bojan Z. He has also shared the stage with such artists as Herbie Hancock, Ivan Lins, Wynton Marsalis, Toots Thielemans, Dave Holland, Joe Lovano, Pat Metheny, and Gerry Mulligan.
The Ari Hoenig Quartet was formed at the end of 2002 while playing every Monday night at the New York Village
jazz club Fat Cat. The band featured Jacques Schwarz-Bart on tenor sax, Jean Michel Pilc on piano, and Matt
Penman on bass. They released two records on the Smalls Records label: "The Painter" (2004) and the DVD "Kinetic
Hues" (2005)
In 2006 Ari signed a multi record deal with Dreyfus Records and released his "Inversations which features the trio of Jean Michel Pilc and Johannes Weidenmueller. "Bert's Playground"
(2008), Ari's second record for Dreyfus, features Ari's Punk Bop Band joined by Chris Potter. Highlights of this
record include Chris's solo on Moments Notice. Jonathan Kreisberg, Matt Penman, Will Vinson, Gilad Hekselman and Orlando le Fleming also represent on this one.
The next record project was for "Smalls Live" a record label set up in 2009 to document some of the music being
performed at the "Smalls Jazz Club" in New York where Ari has had a residency since 2003. Ari chose his Punk Bop
Band to make this live record "Punk Bop Live at Smalls". It features Will Vinson on alto, Jonathan
Kreisberg on guitar and fellow Jazz Mandolin Project alumni, Danton Boller on bass. Tigran Hamasyan is a special
guest on 4 tracks as well.
Ari's Quartet with Tigran Hamasyan, Gilad Hekselman, Orlando le Fleming and Chris Tordini released "Lines of
Oppression" (2011) on the Naïve label. This record represents a culmination of Ari's bandleading, composing and
accounting skills.
Currently Ari leads three groups which both play his original music. Besides the Ari Hoenig Quartet and "Punk
Bop" Ari also leads the Ari Hoenig Trio with Jonathan or Gilad covering guitar duties and with Matt Penman or
Orlando plucking on the bass. He also co-leads a variety of projects including Pilc, Moutin, Hoenig ("the three
headed monster"), Oscillations Quartet and various duo's with Chris Potter, Edmar Casteneda or Dan Weiss.
As an educator, Ari teaches privately and is on faculty at New York University at the New School for Social Research
in New York. He gives clinics and lectures at music schools and universities worldwide, and writes a regular educational column for Modern Drummer magazine. In collaboration with bassist Johannes Weidenmueller, Ari has
released "Intro to Polyrhythms, Expanding and Contracting Time within Form Vol 1". (Mel Bay 2009)
He has also recently released "Systems Book 1, Drumming Technique and Melodic Jazz Independence" (Alfred
Publishing 2011) and educational DVD"Melodic Drumming" (2011) on jazzheaven.com. "The Ari Hoenig
Songbook" (a book with the lead sheets of all of Ari's compositions (not just the easy ones) is available for download at lulu.com)
Hope you enjoyed this video with Ari Hoenig
• Ari Hoenig "The Drum A...
So musical, only drummers can understand the amount of work that is necessary to hide the technique at this point. Ari Hoenig is a master. Him and Eric Harland, Bill Stewart, and a few others are a gift to music.
Dave King, Kenny Wollesen should be mentioned here imho as well. ;)
Yes Brian Blade and Dave King are masters at this art as well.
@@tatesherman8273 Dan Weiss too
You're damn rightl. I just studied this solo from a transcription by Isaac Schwartz and it was extremely difficult. Very rewarding tho
The greatest jazz drummers utilize the simplest ideas and yet, the sound produced is like a symphony in springtime. I as a drummer, appreciate videos like this because the author makes the idea come alive while playing it clearly enough for someone like me to be able to pick up.
I have had the pleasure of watching Ari playing many times in the NYC Area and he never ceases to amaze his followers and public in general. He is one of the most exciting, inspirational and creative drummers out there regardless of musical style. I have actually invited friends to his show just towatch their gfaces in amazement.
So smoothe!!!, not only could i hear it, but could feel the flow of it, Joe would be proud!
Max Roach would smile.....and be proud.....
Unbelievably rad. Ive seen him live and he is an amazing drummer. To the people claiming that this is boring or overly cerebral you need to see him live to feel the joy in his playing. Serious chops but with musicality to back them up.
Fabulous Drumming. Always dug when Max Roach played this. Ari Hoenig is most definitely worth of praise for playing this classic. Kid you not a lot of fine drummers out there appreciate your playing You are tasty and you play with persuasive ideas Give you one thousand stars for this,. Keep drumming,
Incredible. The independence of elvin, the thematic development of max, and the testosterone of tony. Ari, you are an inspiration!
What a joy to listen to!
Isn't this Max Roach's "The Drums Also Waltzes"?? In 4/5!!! Damn!! It really gets very interesting when played in that odd timming and yet keeping the main line... This is just marvelous...
amazing ari is one of the greats melodic drummers
heaviest thing in the universe and tight as hell :)))) thats real drum art.
Late in commenting on this, but I learn something every time I hear Ari, and then to see him do it. Just amazes me. His drums are tuned perfect, so natural and resonant. Love the ancient K(?) ride on his right. What a sweet cymbal. Great as usual, Ari. Keep it coming.
just got into this guy.everything he plays is so musical
Man, this is art
This man is expressing a lot of solid ideas. :D
"Jazz-hands" ..loving the buzz rolls
Beautifully done.
I believe this is an exercise, not an inspired solo. Feel free to get it right and then crank the tempo up on your own time.
Drummers need exercises that they learn on methods. This his an exercise on this guy's methods book. And this guy is one of the finest drummers alive, trust me.
True greatness!!
Love the right side ride cymbal
Great! A intransitive feeling on drums like a sweet tale.
Mindblowing - great listening exercise and inspiring source for all musicians
What awesome feel and touch! Cool...
I play in a Jazz band myself, of course I've heard those pieces.
amazing!!!!!beautiful portrait
Beautiful ! Drum could be melodic ! Merci !
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was beautiful!
Beautiful playing. Incredible independence and manages to make it sound easy, it bloody isn't!
nice feel...I can't take it out of my head...Lol!! tatatatatu,ta chik chik chik chik...
amazing as usual
Whoa, that was heavy!
Thanks for posting this!
That was pretty cool. Really well played, bravo!
awesome
Nice work
All drumming can be everything and nothing and still be hated and loved. Hate the absurd and love the mainstream and easy. It's only when you give up trying to impress and just play a feel is when everything makes sense. One day I'll be a master but I will always be a student.
Pretty cool!!!
Impressive
insane! one of the most interesting players around up there with bill stewart.
like it!!
great playing, but i have to say what a superbly tuned and recorded kit. really great sounds, i envy your abilities haha
So Good!!!!! Max Roach did it in three :)
He's taking the rhythmic syncopation of those two pieces and using them as the central theme of the solo. It's not random. Just takes a lot of focus to count, which was the point of the solo.
Whoaw! that's difficult!!
@shawoody you're welcome, although I don't really know why you thank me. :) I love this drum bass, by the way, I apreciate sustain and tone in a drum bass.
21 drum students must be playing pin stripes.
The Drumhead Police are out,Beware Folks!
Woao, impressive!!!
What is the process to such independence?
very slowly
Sheeeeeshhhhh!!!
What is the name of that ride cymbal he has on the left with this long smooth sound and that kind of bolts that make it? Sick coordination
...I knew I know the language already by one of Max' solos - but was it also in 5? Or in 3... thanx for helping me out, Howard.
Can anyone tell me what Hi-hat cymbals those are? Please. They sound great.
Cool. When does the lesson start though? Lol
"this musician projects good sound? it has good ideas? then, I like it". (miles davis). sound and ideas, that is a good parameter from improvisational music. great soloing, inspired ala morello.
Anybody knows what main ride is it?
@lypunkdud20 I meant 5/4, but actually you could play a bar of four quintuplets, you know that kind of odd grouping notes. Anyway, I get your point, peace.
Ilove you
What size bass is that?
An innovator.
this hurts my brain... wow!
max roach inspiration!!!!!!!!!
This is a Max Roach solo!
What drums is he playing? They sound amazing.
Yamaha Maple Customs in a Natural finish i think
Yamaha.
1:53 to 1:57 was soo hip
Simplicity is not stupidity
Plus, Dave Brubeck would probably appreciate this highly
Looks like a vintage Zildjian A or K. Could be wrong though.
2:30 ... ????
Sounds like Max Roach
What's he doing at 2:36?
sounds like a combination of 3 strokes and 4 strokes with the right hand hitting the left hand stick.
It's just RRL except the 1st right is hitting the left stick. And he's pressing the left stick into the head, rather than letting it bounce.
He's playing 32nd notes. Because it's a pattern of 3 it ends up crossing the bar line.
more likely a old Avedis, i can´t see that lot of handhammering which is typical for old K´s
It's improvisation.
wow...interdependency.. wow
remind me john bonham baby i'm gonna leave you solo
...hey, hey... calm down, will you...
The 21st century seems to be a mite...boring? I can imagine the ghost of Morellos snoring in the corner.
Getting a little Max Roachy here
заебись ваще!!!!
22 dislikes for jealously ;) go back to your mike portnoy vidz
More like "The Drums Also Waltzes" for the 21st Century...
+Kyle Mulqueen these guys are actually sostupid. it the drum also waltzes :P
Drum Walrus Yeah I get it, I think I was referring to the "Take Five for the 21st Century" portion of the title.
hahaha Some day you will understand... or maybe you won't... good luck!!!
It's not even Take 5. He's just jamming a in 5
how is this close to take 5 ..
but take five is 1 23 23 1 2. or 1 23 1 23 1. this has 0 musicality and sucks major balls. lots of songs are in 5 doesn't make them take 5...
sevenfacecomplex
Perhaps it isn't Take Five -- and I'm certain that Ari didn't title the video -- but does that render it unmusical? Ari Hoenig is one of the innovative masters of our time. Respect the music enough at least to first assume that your inability to see the musicianship here is due to your own inexperience, and not because the musicianship isn't present (and bountiful!). I wouldn't walk up to a neurosurgeon after reading a book on the anatomy of the brain and tell them they are doing something wrong because it conflicts with my limited knowledge. Likewise, I (who played tennis seriously for a few years) wouldn't walk up to Roger Federer and tell him his technique is off. It takes a very high quantity of mediocrity to assume you know better than professionals, of any field. A second grader, for instance, may tell Einstein that "e" does not, in fact, equal mc squared; "e" is just a letter. Please understand that in this situation you are the second grader to Ari Hoenig's Einstein. You don't have to believe me now, but I promise you that if you keep practicing & studying and come back to this video in a couple years, you will agree with me!
+Triangle Emperor Timbale Mastur I disagree
+Triangle Emperor Timbale Mastur it's rly tasteless crap
+Triangle Emperor Timbale Mastur Dana Hawkins. danziger. giuliana. Niles. Coleman. Chris Dave. spanky. innovators. this performance teaches me nothing. I just don't like it man.....
sounds great but o my god slicing!
why wouldnt he be impressed? he was only the pianist, he didnt write it!
@uriangatobataclan 4/5 is impossible. just saying.
Dave Brubeck would not be impressed
Whether he would or not, it's not relevant. He's dead, and he didn't invent playing in 5. He also didn't even write Take 5. Paul Desmond did.
I love Dave Brubeck, I'm just saying what he would have thought of this is barely relevant.
I thought this was pretty painful to watch honestly.
Consider, just for a minute, that the purpose of music is not to impress people.
This is not drums art.
I know some of you are going to give me flack for this comment, but this is an uncomfortable version of this solo. This person is a good drummer, but this take five interpretation feels really forced and stiff.
Sonor Sonicfan That’s your opinion!!
Nah lars is better
:D
Gonna be honest, I think the solo was a bit random, had some good licks in there, liked the quintuplet feel but the drums sound God awful.
Is this a joke?
What is the name of that ride cymbal he has on the left with this long smooth sound and that kind of bolts that make it? Sick coordination
Zildjian k Constantinople with rivets to add sizzle. Top of the line z.
+Ron Hotchkiss thanks mate
There are now many models of K Constantinople. When they arrived on the market, there only were Medium-Thin Low. These ones stay the best of all, with Medium-Thin High.
