Man, I was just crushing it for the bass player, talk about pressure. She nailed the first part and Herbie was a gentleman and helped her along for the second. Seems like the brass section forgot there were mics. Pressure all around. Throughly enjoyed it, Herbie made them work.
Herbie smashing that Korg at almost 80yo! Brilliant mind with never ending creativity
Maiden Voyage is a super choice. 🙌 Peace and prosperity to the young musicians.
Thanks!
Herbie sounds awesome along with the band, he took the BOTTOM NOTES OUT.
I enjoy listening to Herbie Hancock talk
This is Brilliant! Thanks Herbie!
this is amazing to get an insight into jazz composition and improvisation from a master

No diss just helping out :)
@@alexpowers2899 thanks, corrected)
Thanks!
Dude that tenor solo was epic. Herbie is just awesome as always
Forgot to add, that I truly enjoyed watching this video, please post more jamming with the creative pressure on full steam.
That was great thanks for posting
I love Herbie playing in this particular video!!
14:00 is very the fun begins!
How great that this was recorded and then shared with the world. Thanks!!!!
hearing herbie kind of grunt and hum along with his piano playing is kind of comforting, i do some weird stuff when I'm really trying to nail something.. so funny to see him do it too
he's singing the notes he hears inside his mind. sometimes it helps singing your ideas out loud when you improvise to keep u on track.
Jack Prime glen Gould would hum along while playing Bach.
Was that what is it was .. I was like what the heck is that?!
@@norakat Nora i was like WTF 😂
bass player had a very tough job stringing these lines together on the spot. Props to her!
I disagree; I think she nailed it with the ease and competency of one who is proficient on their instrument! 2-14-23.
What do you disagree with?
@@bassfacekillah The fact that she DOES NOT appear to be having a "tough job", as you put it, "stringing" her lines together-as I've ALREADY STATED! Why then would you ask, what do I disagree with? 2-14-23.
@@charlesbrazell2136 you are misunderstanding my comment. Let me put it another way: the bass player did a good job, especially given that this situation was very challenging and she had the most important role to play. Good for her!
@@bassfacekillah It didn't look like you thought she was a good bass player-or if you thought she was good, you did not show your approval of her, going by the manner in which your initial comments about her were worded; thank you for clearing up the matter, with your latest reply.
And yes, I am a bassist also; forgive me for coming to the defense of another bassist, who I thought was quite capable...2-18-23.
The drummer in the back when Herbie is explaining the rhythm epiphany he had: Ya, I get 5 of those everyday.
I love Herbie, may he live forever...
Wonderful, the master and the pupils interacting. Enlightening as well, the answers Herbie gives to the questions from the audience - almost better than the interviews he has given.
i didnt want this to stop.
Amazing!
Herbie is so humble.
This was great!
Herbie comes out at 7:50
He looks incredible!
what a beautiful, lovely and respectful moment in a time when the world can be so challenging. thank you for sharing. its moments like this thhat give me hope
really insightful
Lovely
Real
Educational
Thank
You
:)
28:47 When he started dancing he had some massive Eric Andre vibes
would love it if somebody could give this another (better) mixdown.
Very few sound engineers are skilled at audio to video. Competition for those jobs tends to not give time to learn on the job.
they might need the tracks
@@Steven-jq2yz I doubt this was engineered in any way. It probably went straight to master track with no individual tracks. If there were, even my mom would've mixed this better with just decent balance of the levels, nothing else, no eq or anything.
Doubtful they thought to keep the multi tracks. And this is more than just a live to video mixdown issue. This was someone who mixed for the room and recorded the PA LR
Magnificent. But Mr Hancock keyboard is extremely loud! Drums was dissipated bass disappeared, very sad technical story.
In the same time he is the only one doing anything worth noticing
That melody line couldn't get anymore dilettant
@@vhollund Bad mentality to have when you're managing the sound of multiple people
@@Gabriel_Micah It's not a concert
It's a masterclass
Context is everything
@@vhollund Whats your point of it being a masterclass? That it should have a lower quality? "Context is everything" you can't catch the context of the music, the most important thing, if you cant hear it properly
Ok but did you learn anything beside the faulty sound system management you noticed
The sound of the harmonica and the sound of the trumpet work very well together. Kind of a muted trumpet vibe but a bit different.
awww a i got the horn section two minutes before they came up with it. right down to the accents. even had a embelleishment notes along before the two came thru.. wowwwwwwwwww
Because they simply copied the bass
It is crap
His humming sounds like muffled screams coming from my bathroom.
Maiden Voyage flows like water. Water has no beginning nor an end. "Be water my friend" -Bruce Lee
When mix person likes Herbie too much
😂😂😂
When too many people with a puter call them selves mix engineers and give their high brow judgment on free (!) masterclasses with jazzlegends (!) on the internet
Yotam: I couldn't have found a nicer to express my thought :-)
@@rudyzulkarnaen1633EU
jazz knows no prejudice .... its inclusive
wow
Thanks for watching!
♥
People today are spoiled
I remember when none of this was available or free for that matter
I'd go to the record shops to listen because i couldn't afford a record and library for a limited amount of partitions.
Today everything is available and free and tons of masterclasses
And people complain about the mix
😘😘😘😘😘
Just remember “Don’t play the butter notes”
That's miles davis always saying to herbie a long time ago

Am I the only one that sees the ride cymbal sad at 41:09 ?
51:55 lol
nnaaaahhhhhhrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
how many people taking the stage to look smart and cultured to make room after for the Star of the night.
27:03
why so excelente video with so bad audio? so weird... the audio seems like just one mic close to herbie.
i wish the mix for this had been a bit better....seems like Herbie's keys dominate all the other instruments. but brilliant presentation regardless..much respect to all
great.! Very educating video. Love Herbie, saw him at vredenburg utrecht netherlands a year ago. Copied and studied all his solo lines from Shorters speak no evil .. One small remark : first rule of givving a presentation: never stick hands in your pocket...
Because of course you'd have Paul Cornish to your left!
Herbie is suggesting melodi lines all the time but who listens
thats exactly what i noticed ... was changing inversions like hell - like saying hey ... listen this .. but nobody caught the sounds - actually quite disappointing ... saxophonists not thinking bebop .. .is a crime even for young players ... comes to mind - an interview to miles davis where he said music is 90 per cent INSTINCT - and that is was is lacking to them ... i must say i made my own music for more than 20 years - not jazz !! - and that was made mainly by instinct - not having a solid music theory
@@vadimislearningguitar4977 Theory is a tool
musicality and ear is everything
@@vhollund in short thats what i meant ... :)
Really cool but why does the mix sound like herbie is on stage and the rest is somewhere outside the building
This man's accent is attractive.
That Rhodes tone 😱
12:56
28:33 lmao
i"think" i was able to play along with a cmin9 to eb9 change
14:52 Why do i hear someone screaming?
Those would be Herbie's vocalizations while playing!
to be honoust...the best compositions for me personally will always follow words if there's lyrics than melody than harmony and rythm lastly...if I change this where rythm starts...the composition will be different because a melodic line is not able to dictate Harmony for me this is a great Loss...I don't say that it is impossible but as an artist freedom in melody harmony etc and even form I like of course the following order is able to built from the bottom up so from Rythm to Harmony...but in my opinion the Melody is the Character of the Piece and should be at first ...!to create the most interesting spontanuous compositions...other wise the music tends to be to paternly but of course also an artist that is inspirated could work from all directions..I want to ad that The Composition Dolphin Dance seems to be built from Harmony(Dolphin Dance) but the strong theme appears to be so strong that it seems that it was totally based upon and started with this almost "Tranish-like theme"... A Genius renewer and inventor of modernday piano-as-it-is as Herbie Hancock will be able to go from all directions and maybe at the same time also!!!
I'm late to this party but has no one mentioned the butter notes yet?
Thanks for the upload! It's too bad the mix is out of wack.
Too bad it’s all one big chromatic scale. Progressive jazz. Boring as usual. Yet nobody ever admits it. 🙄🙄
@@jasoncharles9481 What part are you talking about?
24:18 Laughing button.
Next time let’s Herbie speak a bit more, watching HH orchestrate and lead this would have been so much more powerful than the trumpeter...calm yo ego!!!!
Who disliked this
The mixsound could be better...
Working on it and hope to release a new version soon!
@@HancockInstitute Thanks!
@@HancockInstitute at least master the mixdown for overall levels so as not to hurt ears or speakers
Only if our country and the government arts and culture departments could have preserved our jazz music, today our jazz music would be on par with overseas jazz musicians
What?
Can barely hear some instruments at certain sections, doesn't make for an enjoyable listening experience
this video needs its volume fixed.
When too many people with a puter call them selves mix engineers and give their high brow judgment on free (!) masterclasses with jazzlegends (!) on the internet
the drummer played the rhythm wrong by playing he bass drum on the 'e' instead of the one . herbbies time was correct but bass player couldnt catch on b/c the drummer had mis understood the rythm
The bass and drummer at first look like - ‘Ok, now what am I supposed to do?’ 🤷♂️😂 Talk about being on the spot having to perform in front of HH and the audience. But H.H. screwing up playing the drums in the middle of the performance and weird groaning sounds 😂 But what he said toward the end about having to start somewhere, eventually getting better at it, and about courage made watching this all worthwhile.
Herbie didnt know what he wanted on that keyboard. They shouldve just given him the grand 🤣wouldve been much more inspirational🤣
The mix is just disappointing it's like Herbie is playing alone. you can't hear anyone but him... The drums are so incredibly quiet... And the horns are completely muted.
What's all that crappy preamble at the beginning??!!
Everything sounded so off-balanced. The sound engineer did a terrible job here.
Is there a baby?
So What
Don’t know the first thing about jazz. The double bass player could teach me a thing or two I bet.
or Herbie Hancock? i dunno, just spitballing here.
hahah omg that handclap moment was cringe, why didn't he ask the drummer to start it off...
Haha yea agreed. Seeing the audience all joining in too...
bbbhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who didn’t listen to the feed???? come on, how amateur is it to have a loose cord somewhere lol
Wish he’d played that grand piano in the background. That Korg sounds awful lol
How humiliating for that poor womnan.
The drumming is so boring... he just kills the piece
BORINGGGGGGGGG
First, I have a title suggestion. How about "Collaboration". Might be too much on the nose on second thought. Also, I just love to see Herbie sitting in front of a keyboard he doesn't know how to operate. Like a kid in a toy store, touching every button he can find. Always curious, looking for new things, always hungry for inspiration. Thanks for posting it!
