Screen Test: Me Playing "Pa' Bravo Yo" on the Chromatone

I hear you, Alot of Oscar is like that, uber-technical, like Tatem. Thing is, you need to find the right Oscar. Not fancy Oscar trying to impress Frank Sinatra or Rachmaninoff. Down home Oscar.

Watch this video. its a 9 minute version of C jam Blues. I challenge you to watch the whole thing. If you watch the whole thing and still feel Oscar doesn't swing like crazy, I'll leave you alone.

I wouldn't pay to see Keith Jarrett.

If I want a lecture, I can call my dad.

If I want to see a hairy white dude grunt and groan arbitrarily, I can watch 70's ****.

Ok well it's gonna take quite a while to get that imagery out of my mind... lol

But I digress... btw, speaking of the 70's, some of us remember when Keith was Black...

Yeah that swings all right. Having Ray Brown on bass doesn't hurt either. I like how he made it a 16 bar form for a few choruses. Nice!

Who is the drummer?

 

[BullitproofSoul]

Don't know..

Oh, it's Ed Thigpen. Good drummer.
