      It's a feeling of comfort, yet also a feeling of starting a new work day and productivity.

      Maybe that feeling you had when you were like 12 watching the local news with your parents waiting to go to the bus stop. It's comfortable because you dont have to leave yet, but you have butterflies because you know you will have to leave soon.

    I've always liked vibes in small jazz ensembles. Back in the sixties they could be heard more frequently than we hear them today. The George Shearing group used them to good effect, especially in unison with the piano.

    Love this man! The solo sections sound absolutely wonderful! You always seem to know where you are in the chart, develop ideas throughout the solo, and bring it back in the end. All while maintaining great tone. Solid job man!

    • @Nagroddy
      @Nagroddy 9 месяцев назад

      @kevinsticht RE: "You always seem to know where you are in the chart" Yes. A very common way to accomplish that is to always keep the original melody in your mind. Just as Isaac so beautifully does in the video, most of the early improvisors in jazz did it that way, often using the original melody for improv idea starting points and interspersing snippets during their solos too - sometimes. Doing that helps the non-musician listener stay more involved in it. Isaac does a great job of this. Generally speaking it is the expectation that all well prepared jazz musicians know where they are in the form at all times. "Getting lost in the form happens when we are learning but gradually stops happening as we gain more experience and practicing the proper things repeatedly. You can tell that Isaac has done the work.
