Boodang Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Brilliant! After Janek's last album which was based around pedal noises, I'm loving the return to the classic trio format. And he has such a lyrical voice when he solos. I got his Giant Steps book and in it he talks about all the Pat Metheny solos he transcribed and how much of an influence he was on his playing. I've always thought of Gwizdala as the Metheny of the bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I have total admiration for the capabilities and creative vision of the musicians involved - and the fact that they are making a living doing what they love - but that was a tough listen (and I like modern jazz). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Anyone else going to the November gigs/workshops? Specifically the Nottingham one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 … maybe the Nottingham gig, just a pain to get to so we’ll see. I saw the last trio in Manchester and that was really very good indeed 👍🏼 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbassman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 For me, that was like a big helping of musical spaghetti - delicious for the first few minutes, then starts to tire. However, massive respects to these guys and their extreme talents - mind boggling levels of skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I must admit…. sometimes with jazz…. I feel like I’m a bit thick and don’t get it, like I’m not smart enough to understand? Similarly like reading poetry and feeling a bit stupid when you don’t understand it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 and Tom Cawley is on the joanna. Think I might have to go to the Pizza Express gig! (I'll get around to listening to it at some point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 … Tom is ace isn’t he. Would be interesting to compare how Nico and the new chap approach stuff also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 At least he didn't try to sing out of tune scat vocals along to his bassline! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Each to their own and erm... all that jazz...but I lasted for around 40 seconds. As with jazz in general it's just self indulgent musical circle jerking...IMO of course.

See you there. I love this. It reminds of Tigran Hamasyan or Animals as Leaders. I know Janek is a fan of the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
