Maybe this is old news, but I had no idea this existed.
I've owned Jim Chapin's Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer for years, but never spent much time with it, and it definitely didn't come with a CD. Lately I've been digging in to it, and enjoying it a lot. Curious about a few questions I had about the material I jumped online and ended up stumbling upon this....
Though the book was first published in 1948, it looks like the record wasn't released until 1970. But in it, Chapin goes through the entire book, playing every exercise alone, and some with a bass player. It answers pretty much every question I've seen on various forums about the interpretation of the book. So, it, like me, you are working through this book and find yourself wondering what Chapin intended then be sure to check out the playlist above. It's all there.
This isn't just "a bassist"—it's Wilbur Ware, my favorite bassist. You might recognize him from his recordings on Sonny Rollins' A Night at the Village Vanguard or Thelonious Monk's Monk's Music.
ReplyDeleteI created loops of his bass tracks for my students to play along with, but most of them struggled because his bass lines and time feel are rather unique.
For years, I wondered how and why Jim Chapin hired the hippest bassist around, who, admittedly, wasn't exactly easy or reliable.
The Jim Chapin/Wilbur Ware combination didn't seem obvious to me.
When I finally took a lesson with Jim, I asked him how he came up with the idea. He said that Irv Kratka, the recently deceased boss of Music Minus One, had pushed Wilbur Ware on him because Wilbur owed Irv money. Jim suspected that it had something to do with drugs.
That made more sense to me.
So, enjoy the record and happy practicing!
Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I had no idea that was Wilbur Ware! That's a great story. I'd love to hear those loops.
All the best,
Adam
Zovem se Maya Raphael. Nakon 20 godina braka, moj muž i ja smo se svađali na ovaj ili onaj način dok me konačno nije ostavio i preselio se u Kaliforniju kako bi bio s drugom ženom. Osjećala sam se kao da je mom životu kraj, a moja djeca su mislila da više nikada neće vidjeti svog oca. Pokušala sam biti jaka samo zbog svoje djece, ali nisam mogla kontrolirati bol koja mi je mučila srce, srce mi je bilo ispunjeno tugom i boli jer sam bila istinski zaljubljena u svog muža. Mislim na njega svaki dan i noć i uvijek ga želim natrag. Bila sam jako uzrujana i trebala mi je pomoć, pa sam potražila pomoć na internetu i naišla na web stranicu koja je sugerirala da bi dr. Apata mogao pomoći mom bivšem da se vrati. Stoga sam osjetila da bih trebala pokušati. Kontaktirala sam ga i on mi je rekao što da radim. Učinila sam to, a onda je na mene bacio ljubavnu čaroliju. 48 sati kasnije, moj muž me zapravo nazvao i rekao mi da mu jako nedostaju njegova djeca, tako nevjerojatno!! Dakle, vratio se tog dana, s puno ljubavi i radosti, i ispričao se zbog svoje pogreške i boli koju je prouzročio meni i djeci. Naš brak je bio jači nego prije, sve zahvaljujući dr. Apati. On je toliko moćan da sam odlučila podijeliti njegovu priču online da je dr. Apata bio pravi i moćan čarobnjak. Uvijek ću se moliti da dugo živi pomažući svojoj djeci u njihovim potrebama, ako ste ovdje i trebate vratiti bivšeg ili je vaš muž prešao na drugu ženu, prestanite plakati, odmah kontaktirajte ovog moćnog čarobnjaka. Evo njegove kontakt adrese e-pošte: {drapata4@gmail.com} ili WhatsApp / Viber putem njegovog kontakta ispod; +447307347648 Hvala vam dr. Apata
