There's a lot of guitar players in this world. Vic Juris is my favorite jazz guitarist...dont know why....he speaks to me and I love his beautiful voicings, single lines stories.
Corey's not only a great player, but a really lovely guy. I had the great pleasure meeting him at a seminar in Sydney Australia. Open to listen to what a beginner like me had to say, and had such cool ideas. Great teacher and writer too.
Clearly it starts out D minor Dorian mode. The quartal chords imply it a modal piece like Impressions or So What? But after a minute it goes into a blues (Mixylodian mode) Maybe there a unique turnaround or something but a big chunk of it is blues. There is a zone where you combine Mixolodian and Dorian because they are related by the ii V Dm Dorian G mix are the same parent scale (Cmaj) Both are playing high chromatic intervallic lines
Well, that is jazz for you! ;) At least it isn't a half an hour like Coltrane or Pharaoh Sanders! Personally, I love it, but I know it isn't for everyone. I don't really think Vic is showing off; he seems like a super nice guy and here he's doing what most improvisers do--and that is improvise! Corey takes a long solo too.
@IronPriest82 Perhaps you should spend less time in "elevatories" :-) If you think about scales and modes when listening to jazz (which is unfortunately unavoidable when you listen to certain players) it's going to sound boring. But if you listen to the dialogue (e.g. 1'53 where VJ weaves a response to CC's comping figure immediately into his solo), it becomes intriguing. A bit like spicy food, it's a taste you acquire - this doesn't mean other food is bad, but you just end up craving spice :-)
@IronPriest82 Forget the comments about scales and modes (as Miles Davis once said "Learn it, then forget that shit and just play"), just listen to it. If you don't get it, it might come some time. If not, such is life. There might be other jazz people you'll like - rock encompasses a lot of different people, and I'll bet there's some you hate. The only thing I take exception to is calling them 'boring'; they're not. I find metal boring, but that's only my taste, not fair to the bands.
I don't know, I'm searching for Jazz music to touch me, trying to feel it but all I hear is elevatory music. I look at the comments below and see people talking about "wow what scales and modes is he using"? Maybe I don't understand it, perhaps in time this music will appeal to me. Not saying they are not talented musicians just boring.
players of all stripes can be smug and yes, jazz players come off a little esoteric at times...did this start with Bebop? or with Miles? it can be off-putting...i wonder if this was prevalent in Europe as well or just the states....Current educators seem well motivated...No Buddy Rich comments like "give up kid you'll never be that good"
great band EXCEPT... the drummer seems to be into the drummer and not laying down a nice swinging groove. His time is a little pushy too.. i like the bassist (who is he) does anyone know... not really interested in knowing the drummer...

Both Corey and his dad Mike are amazing guitarists and great people.
Not just great guitar playing, but a great tune!
Vic Juris is the Albert Einstein of guitar.
Corey is really awesome !!!!
Well I would say: Vic (R.I.P.) is more than really awesome!
vic just talks with the music...
It's a Tom Doyle
Hand made in NJ
Aww...the video got cut off right before the Brecker solo.
Love it.

Vic listens to Metheny!!! 3:33-3:38
way cool!!
3:13-3:21 Vic used those licks in one of his columns!
Vic Juris is proof that aliens exist.
Does anyone knows which guitar are they playing? Gibson 339? Thank you,
Vic plays a Doyle guitar!
Bass solo begins. Video ends.
