Buddy Rich in all his glory at Ronnie Scott's. Love him or hate him, he could deliver to the audience. His solo starts at 3:00. I must say, I think the band sound great (also a wonderful arrangement).

@lowdowner If your Flute reading in treble clef became second nature, you will be familiar with rhythms. They won't change in Bass clef. The only thing different in the Bass clef will be the register/octaves. You just need plenty of practise with Bass Guitar/Double Bass charts. Read, read and read on a daily basis. There are a ton of accurate, transcribed Bass charts here (Link below). Get stuck in and work your way through them. They are free.....😀 https://freebasstranscriptions.com/transcriptions/ Example PDF. ABBA-Dancing-Queen-2018-edit.pdf

Please don't say that when you have had one too many... 😀

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed that. Very honest with humour in there. It seems Paul Page wasn’t the only touring Bassist for IH who got spooked. Look at the first post in this video. 😂

Thanks for posting. I totally forgot about that concert. A trio of masters.... Petrucciani is brilliant on this. Such a shame he was taken so early.

The Joni Mitchell album, 'Both SIdes Now'. Oh my word, terrific big boy arrangements from Vince Mendoza.... And top, top playing from the musicians from both sides of the pond.

I thought some of the Rock Star six stringers prefered it in A Minor ?

Buddy Rich made a career out of drum solos in excess of 30 seconds with packed audiences there to see it. John Bonham solos were loved. Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd are two of a long line of known drummers that keep the audience happy with solos. What about those big, Hollywood, televised 'Drum offs' ? Krupa vs Rich. Love it, or hate it...One thing is for sure, where there is a Drum solo, there is an audience..... What was it that Thomas Beecham said? "The English might not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes..." He must have been talking about drum solos.

One from a poster... "Japanese cover of an American band's song about Africa, played on traditional Japanese and Trinidadian instruments... what a time to be alive!"

Absolutely.... It doesn't have to be limited to just the Drummer either. Trading fours and picking out, or picking up on the previous players four bar phrases (on the fly), requires good ear skills. Mind you, I have seen and heard some spectacular train crashes because of people getting lost, or coming in on three......

Yes, seems it was in his dream. The story is up on Wiki. “After hearing Anita's version, Cash claimed he had a dream where he heard the song accompanied by "Mexican horns". Cash stated, "I'll give you about five or six more months, and if you don't hit with it, I'm gonna record it the way I feel it."[citation needed] Cash noted that adding trumpets was a change to his basic sound.[8] When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns from his dream. This sound was later used in the song "It Ain't Me Babe", which was recorded around the same time. Mother Maybelle and the Carter sisters are prominently featured in the Cash recording singing harmony. Cash tinkered with a few of the original phrases in Anita Carter's version of the song.”

I think you are making it sound harder than what is, Scalpy. It’s actually very structured and disciplined. The arranger, Peter Newberry transcribed it down to a tee. His scrolling score is below. GM midi sounds, but the notes and time signatures are all there.

Although it has a double time feel, it’s in 4/4 with some 2/4 bars. Those Mariachi Brass licks are just a two bar phrase of 3/4 and 4/4. I think it might be the 3/4 bar that throws people off-kilter.

The ‘Bonechat forum is an easy going board. You just slide in and out as you please.

“Revelation”, well spotted. 👍 The quality is not good, but a great performance with 'The Yellowjackets and Take 6'.

Yeah, I agree.

^^^ What part ? I think the chorus sections work great and the voices sit well together.

Yeah, those early YJ albums had some lovely, groove playing on them. Harmonically, the tunes were interesting & very rich sounding. BB5, I know you are into Piano playing as well, check out this short Russell Ferrante video on stacking/poly chords. It gives you an idea how they got those themes and chord structures.

It was posted some time back. IIRC, it turned into a Bun fight over the possible use of FX on the vocals.....

What about a night out at Ronnie Scott's ? Listening to the "The Chick Corea Akoustic Band with John Patitucci and Dave Weckl" https://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/performances/view/4707-the-chick-corea-akoustic-band-with-john-patitucci-and-dave-weckl
