Thoughts during the breaks
And together they make my video of the day:
I like that piece from Bill anyway, also in his very good recording with Snarky Puppy and some guests (like strings). But the WDR Big Band is in my opinion one of the best in the world, and always worth a listen. Thanks for publishing this, guys!
Edit: … and here’s another one from that fabulous Big Band, with Lucy Woodward. Enjoy…
That old line from Roger Waters (“the root of all evil”) just made my day… and so did the performers who are all awesome.
Here’s Christian McBride for Jazz Night in America about Ibrahim Maalouf:
It’s much more than the idea of “quarter tones” between our normal half ones. Here is composer David Bruce explaining it better than I could:
So there’s a world way beyond anything we’re used to – and it’s beautiful, and full of colours.
Thanks for viewing.
What a powerful combination – Lucy goes all Jessica Rabbit, and Justin just kills it on the organ:
Enjoy…
I’m currently watching an interview of Al Schmitt through Warren Huart on Youtube, which is so nice.
Al is a legend of a recording engineer, and he recorded and mixed them all, his story is totally worth the time even if you’re not a technical person or interested in how music is produced – the list of artists alone, and what he says about them is so remarkable.
He mentioned that he recorded Sir Paul McCartney’s “Kisses on the bottom” album which is in my opinion a super classy jazz album through and through – the title track alone leaves no doubt as soon as you hear that double bass on it.
But I wanted to show you another example of Paul (and this is also for my brother who likes Mrs. Krall) and orchestra, recorded and mixed by Al Schmitt, and later put into an official video with two others. First, Sir Paul:
Then, the awesome official video:
So nice. I love seeing and hearing pros at work 🙂 And Al Schmitt’s book is on my Amazon wishlist, even if I won’t ever sit in front of a 72 track SSL console or put 200+ tracks into ProTools…
Thanks for reading & viewing.
Wikiloops member and fellow musician sister navota Krull has made a nice video documentation about her 2017 trip to the Wikiloops members’ meeting in Steinfeld.
I’ve met her and some of the musicians you’ll see here in 2018, and I sure hope to see her and lots of other Wikiloops friends again there this year – so much looking forward to this.
Thanks for that nice documentation to our NAF (Native American Flute) playing sister!
I made a video of my last remix of this track, just to show music production in Ardour on Linux:
Thanks for watching.
This is a good video, explaining what the title says – the basics, and why they’re important:
So if you’re into making videos using your cameras (and maybe even microphones), watch this – recommended stuff.
Enjoy…
This bluesy music video has it all:
It’s by an artist of whom I don’t know much except that he died already – here’s an interview with him.
I also like the black & white photography in this video, the actress/model is Eva Green.
Enjoy…
Ok, let’s celebrate WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” with a Youtube video:
Should I cite my own comment on that video of Joan Chamorro and his students? Here you go:
Wow. Perfection. My Christmas or birthday wish? Your “presents…” and “Jazzing” series. I’ll order all of them.
myself, in a comment on Youtube
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
