    EWF’s version of “After The Love Has Gone” is the version that we have embraced and loved for 50 years. It is THE version. That song wouldn’t be the memorable song that it has become without Philip Bailey’s incredible range and harmony in the vocals. There is nothing more iconic.

    The older i get the more i realize the effect of Jay's songwriting and top notch guitar playing on my generation , growing up in the 80s. Back then , it seemed like all the Jarreau, EW&F, BENSON records were in line with a single genre , that is West Coast and Jay's playing was singlehandidly defining the style of that era. Not so much i was aware of him being behind it all , i was just enjoying that particular way of songwriting and gtr playing. Today, i dig him more than ever. A true master with elegance in music making and guitar playing . Thanks for the interview .

    “and touch the face of God” is the most powerful lyrical part of the already fantastic “Mornin’”. Al Jarreau hitting that blessed note on the very word God solidifies “Mornin’” as a flawless piece of art.

  • @hoodedsinger9990
    @hoodedsinger9990 2 года назад +1

    I'm with Jay when he said music these days are just a bunch of "SH#T". I was a big tape, vinyl and CD collector before, but I stopped buying anything since around 20 yrs ago. Nothing is worth my hard earned money anymore. Jay is right when he said "all the beautiful melodies are gone and just went away"....I really am lucky to have enjoyed the good old days of the 70's and early 80s. And oh by the way, no way I'd subscribe to Spotify and pay for trash.

  • @scotabot7826
    @scotabot7826 3 года назад +3

    I have to agree with Jay. His Airplay for the Planet album is other worldly. And his solo on Roxann, and Warrens voice, if that doesn't light you up, you're not human!!! And for all you folks that think Earth Wind and Fire wrote, After the love has gone, Wrong, Jay wrote it, along with tons and tons of other hits. Jay is a walking treasure trove of hit music!!

    I think what Jay says about the music degrading around 1987-88 is correct cause that's when I started not to keep up to date with the current music. At the time, I attributed it to just getting older. But, now, thinking back, the music wasn't as interesting as in the era between say 1975-1985. Although many people don't like Disco, the Disco era ushered the jazz influence in popular music because many Disco songs are very complex with jazz overtones.

    What a legend! Thank you mr. Jay for your music! In my production I`m always trying to bring some melodic elements from the past (70-80s), I hope that after period of "2-note" production, interesting melodies and chord changes will back again in industry! Good things are just forgoten, like your NS-1000m speakers, not many modern speakers can compete with these if any!) Wish you good health, Jay!

  • @poldidak
    @poldidak 3 года назад +1

    ATLHG is Jay and David's tune, so they are entitled to say which version of the Chorus melody they think is correct or best. But the melody Bill sings on Airplay version is a very different shape on the line, "What used to be right is wrong", than the simple scalar-stepwise motion of the three-part harmony of the EWF version. I like both versions equally.
    Next, I'd like to hear Jay and David talk about how Al Jarreau''s song, "Save Me" was composed. The lyrics are brilliant, starting with the quote of Stevie's "Love's in Need of Love". The production of that tune is unbelievable, the Rhodes part so hook-filled, I'm dying to know who came up with which pieces, in which order.
    The other thing to mention about the glorious sound of the E-Rhodes on the "Jarreau" album is that instead of using a straight+modulated combined sound of a chorus effect, they used a Roland/Boss CE-1 chorus (the later stereo CE-3 pedal can also do this effect), where the straight sound is panned hard to one channel, and the isolated modulated-only output is panned to the other side. It creates a huge stereo width, and a more gentle, less-washy chorus sound than monaural effects, or even +/- phased stereo chorus.

    The good old days - when Foster wasn't doing cookie-cutter Diane Warren ballads. "Mornin'" is just straight-up RIDICULOUS playing from the whole band but especially Foster. The little bits of ear candy and countermelodies I'm still uncovering so many years on. David CAN and DID play Jazz - even if he didn't know it.

  • @jml-rj5re
    @jml-rj5re 3 года назад +4

    David Foster's solo on al Jarreau's Mornin' definitely has some Donald Fagen jazzer flava. Jay's solo on Twilight Zone is very hep.

    • @poldidak
      @poldidak 3 года назад +1

      IMHO, the bridge of "Mornin'" is one of the best written bridges ever written. The build-up is unmatchable, and turns around back to the the original key in a perfectly natural and magical way, which is then boosted by the modulation up a semitone for the outro verse. A lot of writer's would have used the bridge to change keys for the final stretch. I love that these guys held off until after the synth solo/B-section recap to modulate for the outro verses. Also, I never knew the synth sound was a Yamaha CS20. Love all these details.

    I agree. Thats why I like watching and listening to folks like Jay G. I know Denny T spent one hell of a lot of money and it took him 19 years making the Wrecking Crew. But there needs to be another update cause the last version from the early 70s-90 before grunge and then Pro-Tools. Steve L book is great and that could be 10 fold or more in a documentary. I would love to sit in the house and just listen to him and Steve L just mess around.

    Damn, it's like in music, A LOT of stuff come from or/and are influences by the Black culture, yet people just talk about bloody Presley, the Stones, and so on...
    Get your shit together man, cops kills black people, not white people are killed by cops, so when we say BLM, it doesn't mean that the others don't...

He's too smart, and has a brain of his own to investigate the actual truth, and knows when something is totally idiotic, and created for the brain dead sheep that can't think for themselves.

    I think Jay meant to say Bill Champlin, not Bill Cantos. Cantos is a huge talent, but he was only 16 and attending Crawford High the year "After The Love Has Gone" was released. Crawford High sure did crank out more than their fair share of musical talent, tho. Warren Wiebe, Stephen Bishop, Hollis Gentry, Nathan East, and Bill Cantos.
