sirvidia

what record is this from?

pwstomper223

Definitely 4+3.

Good point. I have to say that from a composer's point of view, complex meters are more fun anyways. And Bulgarian folk music has a lot of improvisation in meters like 11/16.

Felix Scott

This is true. But after twenty years of duple or triple it seems like we should have developed skills in freely soloing over odd meters. Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson used to do quite a few tunes in 3 and they played some interesting and innovative solos in that area. Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma" is a nice odd vehicle and I like Jimmy Merrits "Nommo". I think "Nommo" is in 7 or 9.

I always tend to think of 7 as 4+3 or 2+2+3 myself

Look it's 4/4 + 4/4 then you just minus one beat how hard can it be! : )

This was out when, as a teenager, I got heavily into buying jazz albums (on the basis that guys at school would buy the rock stuff, & I could borrow it and tape it, but jazz I'd have to get for myself). It being the era of 'progressive rock', and me being besotted with "Third"-era Soft Machine, I also had a hankering for less commen time signatures. Don Ellis Orchestrawas exactly the stuff I was craving...

@Flextones Well, that's more or less because Jazz approaches music from the perspective of the improviser, not the composer. Most jazz songs are solo vehicles, and complex meters are not always conducive to improvisation. The extra burden of trying to focus on meter is one soloists would rather not think about. Because jazz is a western music, performers choose the meters they're most comfortable with. In western music, that means a lot 4/4 and 3/4

Felix Scott

Indeed I have read through several odd meter and compound melody compositions by Dave Brubeck. I found Don's music to be far more adventurous in his development of odd and compound meters in Jazz. The one criticism of Jazz I have is the art form has spent entirely too much time in duple and triple meter.

@Flextones Might not wanna forget about Brubeck...less avant garde but perhaps the quintessential example of odd-meter bebop...love me some Don Ellis though.

javieral01

@lxnch exactly it is a 7/4 right on

Julián Castro

I heard this like 7 + 8 - 3*15 + 2 - 6

Andreas Haemmerle

unbelievable good impressive! this musician was of biggest genius!

Dan Price

@lxnch i'd have to agree

This is soo goood. It's in 7, 2-2-3, with a Don Ellis sort of backbeat, the 2s get the heavy emphasis from about 3:45 to 4:30 of the song. Wild, but hey, It's Don...
