http://www.jazzvideoguy.tv presents Johnny Hodges, in concert. Possessor of one of the most beautiful tones ever heard in jazz, altoist Johnny Hodges formed his style early on and had little reason to change it through the decades. Although he could stomp with the best swing players and was masterful on the blues, Hodges' luscious playing on ballads has never been topped. He played drums and piano early on before switching to soprano sax when he was 14. Hodges was taught and inspired by Sidney Bechet, although he soon used alto as his main ax; he would regretfully drop soprano altogether after 1940. His early experiences included playing with Lloyd Scott, Chick Webb, Luckey Roberts, and Willie "The Lion" Smith (1924), and he also had the opportunity to work with Bechet. However, Johnny Hodges' real career began in 1928 when he joined Duke Ellington's orchestra. He quickly became one of the most important solo stars in the band and a real pacesetter on alto; Benny Carter was his only close competition in the 1930s. Hodges was featured on a countless number of performances with Ellington and also had many chances to lead recording dates with Ellington's sidemen. Whether it was "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Come Sunday," or "Passion Flower," Hodges was an indispensable member of Ellington's orchestra in the 1930s and '40s. It was therefore a shock, in 1951, when he decided to leave Duke Ellington and lead a band of his own. Hodges had a quick hit in "Castle Rock" (which ironically showcased Al Sears' tenor and had no real contribution by the altoist), but his combo ended up struggling and breaking up in 1955. Hodges' return to Duke Ellington was a joyous occasion and he never really left again. In the 1960s, Hodges teamed up with organist Wild Bill Davis on some sessions, leading to Davis joining Ellington for a time in 1969. Johnny Hodges, whose unchanging style always managed to sound fresh, was still with Duke Ellington when he suddenly died in 1970.
First "transcription" vid in a year, and what better choice than combining the two great stride pianists of the 20th century, Fats Waller and Art Tatum. sorry about the poor audio...my nice mike screwed up when I recorded this, so I had to go with the mike on the camera--I'd try to record it again, but eh...I find that turning the volume down helps reduce the nastiness. Although I only started committing this to memory about 5 days ago, I've been studying this piece for about 2 years--as well as hundreds of others by Tatum, Waller, Teddy Wilson, Oscar Peterson, Billy Taylor, Bud Powell, etc--so when I feel up to the challenge, I pick from that repertoire one that I'm more familiar with and that I feel will be easy to memorize, and voila! happy new year everyone

Tradition- Fiddler on the Roof cover- acid jazz piano vocals drums
This is a rock opera sort of cover of Tradition from Fiddler on the Roof performed and recorded live by Mark Chang (piano, vocals) and Randy Teresi (drums) in Davis, California in the month of September 2008. Featuring the Yamaha CP70 electric acoustic piano and direct audio recording process. My wrist has mostly healed but now it makes a clicking sound when I flex it. Kind of a bummer. Much love to you all. FOR HI-FI STEREO SOUND: Pause the current video, then click this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEWti9DTSGI&fmt=18 Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in tzarist Russia in 1905. Fiddler on the Roof was originally entitled Tevye. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Milkman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem which he wrote in Yiddish and published in 1894. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each daughter's choice of husband moves progressively further away from established customs—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. The musical's title stems from a painting by Marc Chagall, one of many surreal paintings he created of Eastern European Jewish life, often including a fiddler. The Fiddler is a metaphor for survival, through tradition and joyfulness, in a life of uncertainty and imbalance. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, was the first musical to surpass the 3,000 performance mark, and it held the record for longest-running Broadway musical for almost 10 years until Grease surpassed its run. The production earned $1,574 for every dollar invested in it. The show was highly acclaimed and nominated for ten Tony Awards, winning nine, including Best Musical, score, book, direction and choreography. It spawned four Broadway revivals, a
