    The emphasis on 2 and 4 is something that is often so lacking in bassists. Put that in, and the whole band comes alive! thanks for emphasizing it. MBB

      +Michael B-B Many bassists would disagree with you here! Even alot of the greats didnt put emphasis on the 2 and 4 and left that up to other members of the band(drums/piano/guitar). Also consider there are many instances when a bassists does not play on the 2 and 4 at all, like when playing half notes on the 1 and 3.

    • @MichaelBB
      @MichaelBB 7 лет назад +1

      You are welcome. There is one very competent local bassist who suffers from a 2-4 deficiency. He knows the instrument and knows music, but does not play with that sort of swinging emphasis. I wish he did.
      Everything that is alive and moves breathes: jazz is no different. A flat line flatlines the band, indeed. Later, MBB

      @@sean_on_bass I couldn't agree more. An ensemble is an organism. Not every player should be fulfilling the same functions all the time. The bass player here isn't playing any harder on the offbeats. It's a phantom effect produced by the swing and the feathered rhythm on the kick drum. If you don't like four on the floor basslines you hate 99% of all great jazz bass players.

      @@peterchoe quarter note basslines in jazz get boring very quickly; it is why all jazz [of that era and any modern covers] sounds annoyingly the same. like ska, where all ska sounds the same, due to the characteristic rhythm pattern in. every. and. any. single. song.

    I love the little philosophical/political nuggets JLCO stick into their music vids. Wynton has come out with some profound stuff, but jazz at it's best is democratic, everyone gets their turn to shine and everyone supports each other. Its real generosity, and when someone is having a great solo all the people around them support them and elevate their music selflessly

    I compose music and already did some jazz, yet I have some serious holes in my jazz knowledge as rather I come from the "rock" side of music :) Nice video!

    The two-beat beat is generally reserved for the statement of the theme. Trying to reach a consensus about most aspects of jazz is to invite general disagreement rather than any real hope for a common basis. If you think the emphasis on the 2 and 4 in the bass shown here is not "right" and proper or otherwise reasonable in the style, ignore it or use some other approach. I no longer attempt to create agreement in most aspects of the jazz discussion. MBB

      A walking melody on bass or piano:

      O O
      Accompanied by a lead, Beat, and underlying lead to tie it all together. This music here is not swing. Think Benny Goodman.

      dotted 8ths.. more space between the 1 and the and. can be viewed as the first and third beat of a triplet, but swing doesn't have rules it can be tight or loose, have more or less room between notes
