One of the deeper things I did during the pandemic shut down resulted in saying yes to an invitation from a virtuoso solo cellist and friend, Amit Peled. He called one day and asked what I thought about composing a piece to feature him with his cello ensemble that would be centered around Amanda Gorman’s inaugural poem, “The Hill We Climb.” I studied the poem and Amanda’s delivery, focused on t...

Blues on Parade

BLUES ON PARADE - Clayton Brothers Brother Jeff used to tell a story about his song, Blues On Parade. He would say: When I would play clubs located in South Central LA, invariably there would be a woman in the front row, dressed to the nines, usually with a hat that had a bunch of fruit on top of it, and she would ask me (assume high pitched voice), “Y’all know BLUES ON PARADE?” And I didn’t kn...

MY FUNNY VALENTINE Michel LeGrand Ray Brown, bass; Shelly Manne, drums BACKSTORY: This was another ear opener for me. I was 18 or 19 years old when I discovered this record. I probably heard it on L.A.’s jazz station at the time, KBCA. It was 1970 or ‘71. I KNEW it was Ray Brown after hearing a few notes. The drummer was swinging but I didn’t know enough about Shelly Manne’s style at that time ...

OLD MAN TIME - Milt Hinton
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 4 lety
Many of you know about my close association with bass icon, Ray Brown. Another man who swept me away was Milt Hinton. He was born in 1910 and, as a traveling musician, dealt with Jim-Crow-America in more forms than most black Americans. Like Louis Armstrong and many others, he chose to work at spreading love and doing his best to improve things for all. It’s hard to sum up all that Milt Hinton ...

THE GLORY OF LOVE - Paul McCartney Diana Krall was the music director and pianist for a project by Paul McCartney. Sir Paul grew up listening to his father play jazz drums in a big band and wanted to record an album of those great songs. We created arrangements in the studio. We’d record a song and wait to hear what the man-of-the-hour was feeling. On THE GLORY OF LOVE, we tried various intros ...

My Bass Teacher Introduced me to your videos a while back and I'm so glad he did keep it up!
Man, looking forward to hearing this. Mulgrew has been a pretty big influence on my piano stylings. Weird to think hes gone… But it will be good to hear something new of his! And with john clayton aswell? All the better!
John Clayton is pretty good at playing the double bass in the jazz style.
Thanks for this beautiful tribute, John. Can't wait to hear the album.
I love it! I saw you guys when I was very young in downtown Chicago. Entrez Vous is my favorite. Please post it.
Sorry to be the voice of dissent but how is that a lesson? “Learn all triads and arpeggios in all keys” is akin to saying “just learn everything and you will be a great musician!”. HOW do we best learn these things? What is the insight here?
Imagine if they put lyrics to this. 1:14 TaCo WiTh A PoRk ChOp!
And once again, Araki never fails to introduce me to more and more of the GOATs of the past that people just don't talk about anymore for some reason 😢
Thank you!!!!
John... I loved the work u did wirh The Count. SO good.
Simply Beautiful!!!! 😎
Thank you
this makes Monk happy!
Bags! you de best man! wondrful interpretation of a wonderful composition.
Un clásico de Thelonius Monk en una versión única ...
Just jumping straight to lesson 9…. Don’t mind me.
Wow, I didn't even know one of the Clayton's passed. I had a lot of my own troubles in 2020. But the music lives on and it is burning...
Thank you so much for this!!
Milt (aka "Bags" ) was-and is- such a vitally important figure in the development and growth of modern jazz.I hope the CZcams videos bring the work of this incredible musician to new generations of listeners.
Absolutely bonkers.
I’ve been revisiting this clip for over 10 years now. Grateful it exist.
Thanks to George Collier for introducing me to you, you seem a masterful instrumentalist. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and perspective for others to learn from.
Dude, this guys so cool! Prioritising the wellbeing of students and trying to spread the vibes.
Nothing left to prove. LET"S HAVE FUN!
Alguien sabe a que concierto pertenece esto? Necesito verlo completo
hay un campanero en cada esquina, por si algún problemaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Excellent advice from a very talented and wise man whose music makes the world a better place.
Cool or what!!
Excellent Bags the Man.
Can you tell me the names of the whole band? Is that Mike LeDonne on piano?
Yes that's right. Ira Coleman on the bass and Mickey Roker on the drums.
Someone asked for the name of the band..the bassist Ira Coleman is superb here…floating around and thru the beauty being created here. We have the CD by Mr. Jackson, Sunflower. Now my wife listens to country music. But Sunflower is her favorite album.
A real masterpiece
I know it's been 10 years since you've posted these, but as someone just getting into double base I've found your videos very approachable and helpful. Thank you, John!
Excellent instruction. Thank you!
Thank you for your excellent instruction. Please keep it coming!!
This is the BEST double bass instruction, ever! Thank you so much for taking the time for all of us! Can't find words for the gratitude.
It gets no better than this...
Thank you so much for sharing this brother, I'm a trumpet player from South Africa and i really love this version of round midnight... ❤
Seigneur ❤
The first time I heard this was on a road trip with my dad while we were listening to XM radio. We didn't realize the name of the song; we were just grooving along when suddenly, they sang, "Taco with a Pork Chop!!" I paused and looked at him, asking, "Did they just say 'Taco with a Pork Chop?'" We both burst into laughter, and it has been our inside joke ever since.
This is one of the most important moments in the music of all time..
This and Wes Montgomery's live version are my favorites. Just amazing stuff.
Yes
Thanks for sharing the story John!
You're a great speaker
RIP Mr. John Clayton. Much respect is given to you and the legacy that you have left. Your spirit lives on through your gift and music! Thank you!!#musichistoryjazz #legacy #soul #claytonbrothers
John, hi. Thanks for your inspiration. I have developed a keyboard version of your arrangement to Star Spangled Banner (The one for Whitney). I always mention your name when I play it. Am I free to play it in public ? Cheers. Dino.
Comentando de Hampton...Milt jackson viene solo...melodioso y mas solista pero tambien de excepcion...
I found you for that walking bass song. I just want to say THANK YOU for making music fun. Also tnx for these technical tips, ofc. Cheers from Croatia.
Excellent!
