Re: What are you listening to right now?

Watching an interview of Joe Pass explaining simplifying jass chords, basically play just the third and the seventh, maybe add the thirteenth. I've heard or read an interview of The Police (that I can't find now) where Andy Summers describes the same thing. Paraphrasing, "Sting's playing the roots and fifths, so I play anything but that."

Joe Pass (with Oscar Peterson)

Andy Summers

The title track from that (Charming Snakes [1990]) is some of the best in the very narrow field of jazz/dub fusion.

@hhh That Joe Pass guitar was brilliant, so thanks for that, but...

Where's the interview? I wanted to hear that.

There's no sign of Oscar Peterson there, just Joe Pass.

This is a duplicate of the Joe Pass link...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

My bad at posting links and duplicates.

More Joe Pass, at least...

Joe is maybe playing a Gibson Byrdland?

I saw Oscar in another video playing a Bösendorfer, so probably that.

Yeah, you can see the piano brand at about 9 minutes.

Grace Jones had the best management, she is the master of the cover. The Apple Stretching and Yawning, written by Melvin Van Peebles (1982)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uszyrhCw78A

Demolition Man (1981, as well as the rest, all from her album Nightclubbing, the best album of the early 80s IMO)... written by Sting, I think he gave it to her and then later put a vastly worse take on Ghost in the Machine, one of several filler tracks from that album.

Joe Pass, Hot Licks Video ("Those were not necessarily hot licks, but uh...")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Hn18o5dh4

Shows a unique chord voicing: "Now of course you don't want to play this chord because it's a... dumb chord."

Thanks! The Andy Summers fusion album surprised me, I don't know how I haven't heard it before.

Maybe I've overrated Nightclubbing, but it is a remarkable reggae album.

There are a bunch of Joe Pass instructional videos on YT.

More fusion, Weather Report live in 76. Whoever mic'd and mixed this show, give that crew a raise. Incredible sound quality.

https://youtu.be/YHh5xNdmuek?si=A0-Nl7k_03cLTY2g

A shame that the camera shows keyboards and drums, but only a second of Jaco crushing the bass line.
