musicbassman Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Well, I wasn't quite sure when the band had actually started 'playing', but I think it's a couple of minutes in from the beginning. No bass player, so there's obviously a gig going there............ 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 They're probably going for next year's Eurovision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Good God. If I had heard it without the visuals I’d have assumed a One Man Band had fallen down a long staircase and was now in critical condition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Good stuff! I'm always entertained by a bit of free improv... Perfect for Getting Up To Get Down! I used to be in a sort of free improv band, However, we were a bit more groovy - basically the drummer and I (we'd been playing in another band together for years) would set off on some sort of funk groove, while the sax, trumpet, keys and guitar did crazy widdleshit all over it. It sounded like a busy version of Derek Bailey and Jamaaladeen Tacuma's "Mirakle". We weren't at all po-faced mind, unlike another free improv do I went to where the organising woman held up colours as moods for us to convey. I found it difficult not to snigger!

Reminds me of the 'acting workshop' I attended at which I was asked to respond to a dramatic situation 'as if you were a bag of crisps' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There some Jaco-esque moments in there, quite an enjoyable listen 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a slippery slope - I started with the soft stuff like that and soon I was listening to Full Bailey, Brotzmann and Steve Lacey. Nowadays ordinary muzak sounds far too square, daddy-o! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americana Free Improv (which sounds like a political movement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
