    I tried to explain this same thing to musicians in the house bands on cruise ships,but they just didn't get it. They thought because they went to berklee that they could swing better than than world class musicians

    That lengthening instead of accenting thing is good, it kind of makes it feel like the 2 and 4 are pushing ahead

    I taught myself to play the electric bass when I was a teenager. Never took a lesson. Never really learned to read music,but my ear is on point. I can pick a song apart note for note and learn it. Or should I say I used too. Life got in the way and I had to sell my gear,and never picked it back up again. I just enjoy hearing you groove,and learning about jazz theory. Bird turned my whole musical world upside down.

    Those old Oscar Peterson records, with Ray Brown, are great for this. They swung so hard.

    Thanks for including the clip of Mr. Hump Hellion himself, Ray Brown, in this discussion! Paul Chambers,NHØP, Miroslav Vitous, Ron Carter, Buster Williams, George Duvivier, Milt Hinton, Dave Holland...The list of Hump Masters is endless! Have you or your students tried walking a bass line to a metronome clicking on 1 and 3? It's an interesting exercise...Anyway, thanks for posting this discussion of jazz rhythm...

    It kinda shocked me when you said Geddy Lee was the reason you picked up a bass. I was under the impression you were schooled in jazz from the start.

    Great Jazz pedagogy from a double bassist's perspective - and music in general! (If you'd change your channel's output to distorted Rock guitar lessons your views/likes would quadruple tenfold! DON'T!)

    It's rhythm that is the factor in any musical evolution. How come no one thought of playing straight 8ths before 1950? That changed everything. As for jazz, it's rhythms have absolutely nothing to do with Africa. It s roots stem from marches which are strictly European.
