Jesus wept. I did as well if we're being honest!
An utter waste of noise.
Great player I'd never heard of. Thanks for posting.
Love my new AZ2402, but I'd already got my eye on an AZ2204 as well.
As you said, it is posted in Theory not Music. In terms of technique it is mind-blowing.
FWIW I enjoyed the second posted video so thanks for that. Always good to hear new players in performance.
I'd be disappointed if the guy in the video sees this as music and not a crazy exercise. It is crazy and impressive.
Anyone interested in the construction of Giant Steps - Bruce Gregario's video is a great start
For pocket I'd say:
and although people are divided about him, this guy did write the book on sheets and swings
but it's all different perspectives and this is just to my ear ... there's more meat on it (for me)
That being said, I don't think it's anything more than a blast on social media. Silly tempo and a stiff backing track don't help don't help his style imo. He's got a cool approach and interesting lines nonetheless.
Still, out of anyone Joey Alexander's performance still truly floors me to this day. And that's in spite of him being 11 years old at the time.
