Просмотров 1,1 тыс.4 года назад
Here's Paul Chambers' amazing bass solo on 'A Foggy Day' with the Red Garland Trio ('A Garland of Red', released in 1956). Paul Chambers was only 21 years old at the time of this recording. His ideas are so refined and intricate.
Thank you! You play very good!
Thank you 🙏
I listen to him every day of my 72 years-Love Him and miss him-John Pettiford
Thanks for the comment, John! Any relation to Mr.Pettiford? Cheers 🙌
2 feel in 4 is playing in half time,
Thanks for the comment, Steve. I suppose you could think of it that way, although the tempo & harmonic rhythm is unchanged.
Hey Jonathan, I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and can't get enough of your content. The notated transcriptions with specific insights and takeaways is incredibly valuable for any jazz bassist. This is really what youtube was made for. Keep up the great work, man
Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear you’re finding value here. Comments like these keep me going strong- more to come 🙌 cheers!
Dude I loved this video
Cheers! 🙌
So much good information in roughly 5 minutes...that can generate years of practice/exploration. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m happy you’re finding value here. Cheers! 🙌
💯💢💢
🙌🙌
why did I buy this cookbook if it won't cook a meal for me

yes!
🙌
THanks for featuring the work of one of my favorite bass players. The second "quote" you discussed reminds me of Irish Washer Women. It's not exactly ver batim, but it certainly sounds derivative.
Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for. It does sound like that melody.
@@JonathanChapman It is certainly inspired by an Irish jig .
Tu swingues !!! La classe !!
Merci 🙏
Really helpful thank you!!
Happy to hear it 🙏
This is wonderful. What recording is this from? I had no idea Ron played with Red (who I love).
The recording is “Crossings” (1978). Cheers 🙌
Johannes Wiedenmuller, Orlando LaFleming , Bob Hurst and many others talk about this approach. Just discovered your channel and subscribed; excellent content, thanks!
Some phenomenal musicians mentioned there. Thanks for the note, Mark! Welcome 🙌
The hippest, the most swinging, the most melodic bassist ever! he and Kenny Clarke are perfect together, plus I love them with pianist Sal Mosca on the Lee konitz with Marsh album on Atlantic. Every note, is essential, nothing is superfluous!

Totally agree! They have a great beat together. Nice bouncy quarter notes! Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Oscar is the still the greatest bassist, the most melodic singable bass solos, the perfect bass lines, band leader, composer, and that sound, that gorgeous sound! So relaxed, at any tempo, he is Prez like & Charlie Christian of the bass!
These lines are fire! Thanks for doing the "heavy lifting"
Cheers 🙌
He is my favorite bassist/cellist bar none,ultra melodic swinging eartickling groovy innovative player. I love his Monmartre Blues album and pretty much on every record he was featured on added a unique touch.
Couldn’t agree more!
Absolutely!!!!!
I think the lick is the Irish (maybe Scottish?) tune The Kerry Dancers.
Very cool- Thanks for weighing in on this. I’m floored to be reading a comment from a living legend!
That blanton lick is like the If I were a bell intro with more ornamentation
Great point!
“Resolved fingering” is a genius term
🙏 it seemed like the most accurate way of describing it.
getting laid lmao
Beautiful
what u talkin bout man GIRLS LOVE BASS PLAYERS
Can you please do more jazz piece breakdown
Absolutely!
mind blown
The OP melody reminds me of some of the melodic ideas Charlie Haden would play during some of his solos. Very folkish.
so fire
No doubt 💪
Love these, short nice bass thingies
Cheers 🙌
One of my top doods!
Nice! Cheers from 🇧🇷
chapman teachings 🔥🔥🔥 keep dropping it pls
You can count on it!
Love this! One of the coolest things I learned checking out OP is how much of an influence he seems to have had on Paul Chambers. I hear a lot of what I thought were PC-isms in his playing, but they're actually OP-isms I guess.
You're totally right about that. PC no doubt got a lot from OP. It's a shame his legacy isn't as celebrated as much as you'd expect, given his influence. He cuts pretty hard on the cello too (albeit tuned in 4ths like a bass).
Very cool!
I don't want to say it's aliens, but it's...aliens.
The evidence is overwhelming.
I was expecting something like microtonal quaternote chromatics or third-note chromatics 😀 But why not? This would also be fun to use in a walking bass...
Oh yeah I play those all the time 😆 and it’s always completely intentional! 🫣
@@JonathanChapman I actually start to seriously use such microtonal chromatic scales in song-writing in a bluesy or swing feeling context. But I have no clue of double bass, I play fretted instruments with much smaller fretboards and piano. I just recently noticed when transcribing the bass line of an old Louis Armstrong / Duke Ellington recording of "It don't mean a thing" that first, they bassist was the best of all, and second, that at one point he might have played some stuff which could be interpreted as a quaternote, used as a passing note instead of staying twice on F# before going to G. I was wondering, whether this was intended.
@@user-ig8pd9qn5h thanks for the insight! You’re inspiring me to dig into this. There’s no doubt that sliding up the fingerboard while plucking has been an often-used effect on the double bass. I think whether it was intentional or not would be hard to determine, but looking at it under a microscope would be fascinating.
💯💯💯
Yo that transition off the bat. Martin Scorsese over here
Legend
I'm a classical trombonist, and use the metronome when practicing more complex rhythms than just quarter notes. For that having the metronome click every 2/2 is very useful, especially when practicing slowly first. So how you use your metronome should depend on what you are practicing.
Nice 👍 There’s no shortage of ways to use it.
Ah nice try. Go away with your nonsense.
I’ll be back :)
Where were you in high schoooool?? This would have been so helpful
Great vid bro! Essential stuff
That "accountability" animation shooting across the screen should be in my day to day life😂
This is so stupid, the thumbnail is going to make people think they don't need a met and set people back just for clickbait.
I appreciate your opinion. First time on RUclips? 😜
Fair point but anecdotally I clicked it because of the title and got good advice. I suppose a title like "you're using your metronome wrong" would've been a similar effect but I can't say if I'd have been as likely to watch
@@JonathanChapman Sly wit, well done!😎👍🏽Great stuff here, carry on.
