Facts

People may not understand this but a few freethinkers will agree, rock band was a better rhythm game, but guitar hero was the better game overall.

Are you dumb?

[Jazz Memes @JazzMemes]

Musicians hate AI, but will jam with a metronome, drum loops, a washing machine, or a squeaky door all day long…😅

“It takes a long time to sound like yourself.”

— Miles Davis

[Curtis Harvey’s Music Connection @lessons_chmc]

@cestbunni Exactly

In Jazz there is the term contrafact

It’s essentially sampling as you take a prior piece of music & make new songs

The most famous song to be used was Gershwin’s “I got rhythm”

The Duke,Bird,Monk, & Davis made countless songs from that. 100s songs made from that piece

What’s your favorite Trane song or album?

Need!!

[Ethan Iverson @ethan_iverson]

Paging through Leonard Feather’s 70’s encyclopedia. The Quincy Jones intro is fantastic. That deserves a reprint. Some of the blindfold tests raise a smile. See thread:

“I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I’m doing… the emotional reaction is all that matters. As long as there’s some feeling of communication, it isn’t necessary that it be understood.” - John Coltrane
