🙄 No Holds Barred Thread - A Haney/DavetheWave Production

Can hear in that song how he would have an interest in the classic Brasil bossa nova stuff

All these cats have a broad range. They played a jam session on the second day of the program and played some bossa nova, but also Superstition—which was a showstopper. Wade had some fun with his pedals for that 70’s funk on that one.

My wife and I stumbled upon the movie Whiplash last night. Luckily your conductor was more easygoing than the guy in the movie. I don’t think you would have survived a mistake like that.

I LOVE that movie… but I do not like his “tactics”.

During the audition weekend at Eastman, the admissions staff spend a good half hour telling all of the parents that the curriculum is NOT like Whiplash.

Agree with Jazz, it doesn’t matter whether it’s music, sports, or any other vocation, psychological manipulation is never OK.

Whiplash is like a Bobby Knight led jazz band! LOL! Brought basketball back into it to keep it sane in a primarily basketball forum for everyone…

My favorite thing to do in NYC is to sit in Washington Square Park listening to any jazz trio/quartet/quintet just play and improvise. Always put money in the hat.

Steely Dan pinched that Horace Silver intro for “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number.” Good thing you had already practiced “Song for My Father” so the band didn’t have to guess which song you were playing!

Just here for the weekend with the wife. Staying in the Village this time. Found Little Island Park by accident. A $260 million park built on piles on top of the river. Amazing. NYC doesn’t do anything half-ass. Except this year’s baseball.

This is my favorite thing about Jazz. The improvisation is just so cool and the musicians are so good that it doesn’t phase them at all. They read each other and react to certain cues. Its really amazing.
