5 Levels of the Blues - From Easy to Charlie Parker
I completely agree that Queen Latifah's version of Lush Life is amazing. It's the best I've found, and I've listened to many. The fact that Billy Strayhorn wrote this as a teenager blows me away. It is so sophisticated and world-weary sounding. Truly lush!
EXCELLENT
Roger McGuinn played electric 12 string on Mr. Tambourine Man
Strayhorn was hors concours ❤
Very informative, great job, Josh!
Very nice ! I’ll never get enough of this song. Thank you !
Interesting about 'The Clique' name. These musicians I think were better known as 'The Wrecking Crew'. Although as the latter, they also consisted of Leon Russel.
Sorry but this is no secret. Maybe you just discovered this but everyone knows about the wrecking crew
Great job! I felt the same enthusiasm when I figured it out instantly as you did.
This is nothing new. My father was a studio musician for decades in the 30s through the late 60s. He had a regular job ... First CBS, then ABC ans finally NBC. he palyed in the band and orchestra, but, they all spent most of their time in the studio recording with the biggest stars of the era. Also ... Studio musicians are regarded as the very best of the best and often were the people who made a recording a hit.
Give a listen to Larry Knechtels sweet piano track on Johnny Rivers remake of Huey Piano Smith’s “Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu” 🎹
I really wanted to hear the actual riffs, by the actual session musicians… not this guy’s keyboard renderings.
Sorry, I was copyright blocked with the originals.
"Most important", er, well assuming Motown and the Funk Brothers weren't "important" to you. Or Stax (who backed Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, The Staple Singers, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Floyd and The Bar-Kays), or The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (aka The Swampers, who backed artists like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Paul Anka, and Bob Seger) or The Nashville A-Team (backed artists like Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Simon & Garfunkel). Just sayin'...
como me rompen las pelotas estos videos de mierda! no hace falta que duren quince minutos! no es un concepto complicado ni muy amplio!! que bronca !!
Actually the bass player was carol
If Barry were still alive he'd roast you for playing the four rules at '500 beats per second' instead of slowing down and give/show us your fingerings. Otherwise excellent presentation of the problem and a solution.
He probably would indeed. 🤣 though did you see how fast he ran them in the clip from his workshop ;-)
It was easy to recognize Bridge Over Troubled Water as a musical and recording masterpiece the moment it was released (1970). But who would have guessed it was still in our top 5 productions of all time in 2024? I had no idea at the time that all those diverse albums were recorded by the same core of musicians. They deserve to be household names!
Don Randi was one of the Wrecking Crew. He still owns, runs and plays at the Baked Potato Jazz club in LA.
The Wrecking Crew did not play on any Beatles songs... NONE!
Did jazz pianists ever try to avoid going below E1 in their walking bass lines since most double basses don't go lower than that?
I do all the time. Sometimes it’s muddy, but it’s fun, so I do it anyway.
@@JoshWalshMusic Don't get me wrong, I LOVE low notes; I just wondered if there were ever any jazz pianists who tried to limit their walking bass lines to ONLY the notes that an actual double bass would play.
@@organist1982 I’m sure there are. And honestly, I do most of the time. Not specifically because of that, but because they just get a bit growly down there.
I saw him play around New York in my teens and twenties.. He was not the most polished performer and didn't really learn what I could have because I got distracted by this. What a mistake- he had a steel trap mind and was very generous with his knowledge. I appreciate him so much now....
Love your videos, Josh! Thank you :)
Hi Josh, very clear and fun post on walking bass with those formulas. Loads of people are going to get a lot from this instruction. 😁🎹
Small correction at 2:00 - with very few exceptions, an acoustic bass won’t walk below E, second octave below the bass clef. The low C’s you play as example are out of range. Of course, you can use those notes, but they should only be used for specific effect. EDIT: i’ve gotten five minutes in, and suggest that so far, these lines are too low and muddy. Tastes vary, but jazz bassists don’t spend much time on the lowest 4th of the instrument. Half the notes I’ve heard so far are below the range. On stage, this can get gimmicky very quickly, in my opinion. Beyond this, your teaching style is wonderful and your presentation is very clear - I appreciate your explanation of swinging by taking care of 2 & 4, and anticipation notes.
Definitely true, the E is the bottom of the register, unless they have a low D extension. I rarely go below C, but it depends on the piano. Larger grands will let you go further. I just checked out the section you mentioned at 2:00, and it is a bit muddy. I think that’s the UA-cam compression, because it’s not so muddy in the original. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
@@JoshWalshMusic on more than one gig, the piano provided was a Bosendorfer that went down to a low F. I never played those notes, and people seldom do; they are mostly there just provide extra resonance and length of sustain for pedaling. That’s fine for Concerto work, but is really not helpful for jazz playing.
@@Brad4Ellis look, if they give me the keys, I’ll find a reason to play them!
@@JoshWalshMusic Me, too! I want to try a Bosendorfer Imperial that goes down to C0!
I got to work to get into that low piano range. How you play down there is important too. Piano players get caught in a smaller range than the bass. They also play less linear because the move between those strings. Always check out Tony Monaco on organ and Dave Frank on piano. Look at the technique of the left hand. Monaco and Frank are different from each other in LH technique. Which to choose?
Two solid options. I’m partial to Frank myself. Thanks for the great comment.
My mentors were Dave McKenna & Ray Santisi, and I’ve listened to a lot of Dick Hyman. McKenna swings hard, just his left hand was enough to rivet your attention (he was sometimes called “The Dave McKenna rhythm section”), though I never wanted to copy his habit of picking up the tempo gradually. Santisi developed a technique of walking AND playing mid range guide-tone hits on and-of-1 and and-of-3, creating an effect of two musicians with his left hand alone, and still freely soloing eighth, triplets, and 16ths on top. All three are worth listening to. EDIT: Hey! I just got to 6:00 where you discuss Dave! Cool!
@@Brad4Ellis I am so inadequate to properly demonstrate McKennas left hand. It’s fun to play, and I’ve studied hard, but Dave is unmatched.
Thank you very much indeed for your explanations, that was very interesting from a musical standpoint and also the story itself is amazing
Like The Swampers in Muscle Shoals.

I like how you stared into the depths of my soul throughout the video. It really made me want to fix those mistakes, haha.
👁️👃👁️
How did Leon Russell fit into this secret profession? Didn’t he used to do this before he went onto fame and fortune?
Hyman has great electronic/ space music as well
Have to agree, I have a few recordings of this beautifully crafted song, always loved Ella and the Duke's version and Linda Ronstadt's but Queen Latifah's is absolute perfection, the arrangement, her phrasing, that wonderfully rich voice, the stings, even that little touch of the accordion at the week in Paris, I don't play any instruments etc, but was brought up with jazz due to my parents so have a very gifted ear for music, all kinds of music, loved your analysis of Lush Life.
Doing this and making a checklist of mistakes is really such a great idea for ironing things out in the less familiar keys. Thanks so much!
Check out Scott Van Zen.
Don't let Carol Kaye hear you refer to her as part of the Wrecking Crew. She does not like that term at all. She'll jump all over you, saying that they were never known as that. They were first call studio musicians, nothing more..
Awesome tutorial!
what notes are in a D 6th Diminished?
D major scale with an added Bb (b6)
I'm at the beginning of my jazz piano studies, though I have studied some jazz guitar. These concepts are unlocking the piano for me, slowly, when I play these methods I hear more beautiful music coming from my instrument than ever before, I'll play something and genuinely be surprised at how amazing the instrument can sound. Barry Harris was a genius, and the fact that he took the time to teach other people how to play what he helped to discover is amazing. I've always liked the musical stylings of Chopin, Django Reinhardt, Joe Pass, and Wes Montgomery, as well as the bass playing of James Jamerson. What all of these cats have in common is this technique, and you are teaching it in a way I can easily grasp these simple, yet complex ideas. Thank you.
Well said.
Don't leave out the amazing bass of Ray Pohlman on the Beach Boys and so many more. Don't forget the irreplaceable drumming of Earl Palmer between 1958 and the early 80s.
who else is here from the jesus is luke skywalker channel guy 🚬🐨
See: Marni Nixon
Rare Silk has the best version of this song.. beautiful harmonies. For the longest time, I actually thought that Lush Life was a Rare Silk original
I dont know this! Must look it up.
@@JoshWalshMusic Let me know what you think
Mucho appreciado hombre! :)
There's absolutely nothing wrong with implying an Em7 over a D7 (which, indeed, as you say, doesn't imply it) as long as you understand that what you're creating is a suspended sound that should then be resolved. This is also true when you play a descending line starting from the 6: the resulting b7maj7 is in fact the upper extension of the Dsus13. Again, it's about understanding the effect you're creating and where it fits in the big picture.
Glen Campbell played lead guitar on the Irish Rovers recording of "The Unicorn".
It's amazing that only Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer are in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Tommy Tedesco, Larry Knechtel, Glen Campbell and Carol Kaye are not.
The Wrecking Crew in collective name is, though.
@@JoshWalshMusic They're in the Musicians Hall of Fame, not the Rock 'n' Roll HOF.
@@howie9751 They were inducted as a group in 2007. I live in Cleveland and I've seen the exhibit many times. They are also in the musicians hall of fame in Nashville, as you mentioned. I've seen that exhibit too. For more info, see the “Legacy” section of their Wikipedia page.
@@JoshWalshMusic I did and it didn't say anything about them being elected. I've also been to the RRHOF website and they're not listed as inductees. I've been to the RRHOF Wikipedia page where it lists the inductees by category and they're not there.
