i dont get it

Esta es la primera versión de Confirmation grabada en estudio. No os perdáis las dos anteriores, una de Dizzy Gillespie en California, en 1946, y la otra en 1947, con Parker y Dizzy en el Carnegie Hall, en 1947.Y tampoco hay que dejar de escuchar la versión de John Coltrane en Atlantic, titulada 26/2.

My very first modern jazz LP, The Genius Of Charlie Parker, Verve MGV 8005, cover blue and red. Fifty years ago, and still awesome. Max Roach and his complex mathematical patterns, whew. Only the last three bass notesd were not included in the original album. Thanks, man.

I love wes, hes great, but there is something to be said when comparing him to the jazz giants out there

HyrulianWarlord

I never said they were less complex that wes, you said that, I just said they generalized, but the complexity is there, just listen to any trane solo, they are perfect, or atleast the closest thing to perfection ive ever heard, the complexity comes when knowing how to use very simple and beautiful and rich lines, and contrast them with great complexity. Wes cant do that. Wes has a very formulaic way of organizing his solos, but at a small scale, his ideas dont really connect

kalpal67

but your whole argument had more to do with complexity before now you're saying wes doesn't sound good..do u need to win this that badly?

HyrulianWarlord

Oh, and yes wes might not be very predicable, but that doesnt really make it good does it? Amateur players arent predictable either, but that doesnt mean that there is a desirable outcome, does it? /watch?v=eRSSR9iIND8 just watch, no need to respond, just enjoy :)

HyrulianWarlord

im sorry, but no, vocabulary is more than just chromatics, and maybe if you transcribed a little more horns you would know that. What miles and coltrane played during the hard bop era was a lot more generalized, which is part of the style of hard bop, but their vocabulary was so incredibly rich, nuanced and simple beautiful. You can defend wes all you want and thats fine, but you are going to have a really hard time if you think he was better than trane or miles

kalpal67

i disagree especially when it comes to miles. its pretty easy to mix a whole lot of chromatics when soloing, wes didn't though, he would go from point a to b to c fluidly, while horn players especially miles and would riff through tunes. i will never have a bad thing to say about cannoball but even coltrane was a pretty predictable arpeggio machine so purely from a harmonic standpoint i had a much harder time figuring out where wes was going than i ever did miles or coltrane.

HyrulianWarlord

yeah, just remember that Montgomery was around well after charlie parker, he was at the same time period as coltrane, miles, cannonball, sonny rollins. Really man, i love wes and all, but he is nowhere near the same level as those guys, im not even talking technically, i could give less of a crap about that, but his vocabulary was very limited and his melodic content is again not that good either
