| Re: Being on "Time" Does anybody have any tips for jazz phrasing/timing in really contemporary stuff - I tend to either have way too much swing or play it like it were latin??? Some of the modern guys get a really 'jazzy' (sorry) feel to their phrases but they seem to be playing it straight 8ths (Brecker especially) Am I right in thinking this is what Bear was mentioning when he said "I've come to notice that "being on time" is not a clear as it was say just twenty years ago."? |
