@Satan: dude, that track he recorded over the phone from jail!!! So ridiculous. And what about that uh "love song" where he's like "girl, I swear yr hotter than campfire / we can stay up all night like vampires" haha, he's so on the cusp of brilliance and absurdity at all times. Shit's awesome.

Cheer-Accident "Fear Draws Upon Misfortune"

![]() First time out, another LP rescued from the crates in my parent's old place. Seems pretty sick. I can never really love the vibes though. They always just sound a bit corny and easy listening, seemingly inevitably. This is a record with Cannonball Adderley, Wynton Kelley and Art Blakey on it though, so you know it's gotta be worth looking past that... |
^seriously? Gatdamn, I love me some vibes!! You need to hear "Montara" by Bobby Hutcherson. Holy shit.
|

maybe the fact that you're listening to a commercial vibist who wants to sound like that is the reason. if you think bobby hutcherson or khan jamal sounds like easy listening i'll die a little inside
|
dude, Hutcherson is fucking ridiculous. Seriously. Check it.

OK, point taken, this is pretty great. Think I've actually heard the Madlib remix before. Thing is, I often do like vibes as far as being a cool sound, especially for use in hip-hop samples/remixes. I love that shit. So chilled and floaty. It's just that whenever they're put in a traditional jazz context, as they often are, like with ^, it somehow bugs me. They're so much less weighty and expressive than something like acoustic sax or bass or piano or whatever, and a large part of what I love about classic just like 'straight up' jazz is that sound of a few dudes just listening to each other in a room and making this really beautiful, or burning, or whatever, but IMMEDIATE music just using the pure acoustic sounds of their instruments. But then you shove some vibes in there, and as much as they can be cool in a fusioney or lite-jazz context, they always somehow rub me as being so out of place and expressionless and just vibe killing (that wasn't actually an intended pun, honest). I don't know, maybe I could be swung over, but it hasn't happened yet... |
This Roots remix is sick.

now I'm listening to Donald Byrd's STEPPING INTO TOMORROW over and over

Whereas here I have no problem with the vibes, because they just seem to fit better. I know I'm sounding like a bit of jazz fascist here probably, which I really don't want to.... I guess I just kind of have different places in my listening for more classic sounding jazz and weird fusiony stuff, and I can't yet slot vibes comfortably into the former. |
^guy, no matter how many times I hear "Stepping Into Tomorrow" I Still don't understand....... was Byrd from the future? Like what the fuck? That track is soooooooooooooooooo fucking insane. How did he come up with that shit? Oh man! I love it..
|
i think being out of place and having a different timbre could be the reason for using them in some cases, because they can be a counterpoint, i think that's how they're usually used in bop, because you can play high tempos and complex rhythms with them but you don't hear people doing that usually, perhaps due to the pervasive influence of the lionel hampton/milt jackson laidback vibraphone style
|
good point, wc. I'm a big vibes fan from way back though. I love it all. The bop,the out there, and the EZ Listening. Good call on the Milt Jacks, that dude is dope...... big fan, thanks to some Riverside reissues.
|
Oh, you should both check out this Cannonball/Milt album then, if you haven't already. My personal issues aside, they're both on top form.
Good vibes wise (that one was intentional, sorry), one of the exceptions to my general aversion to the things is the Jamal playing on the Sonny Murray version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, from the Wildflowers 70s new york loft jazz comp. That shit is amazing. Definitely worth tracking down, but sadly can't find it on the youtube right now. Now onto: ![]() Gotta say, not loving this so far. But I will persevere a while... |
