Theme For Lalo
This is a video about “then and now”:
I wrote and recorded “Theme For Lalo” with my 12-piece big band in 1993. During that time, the ensemble, which featured the late Debbie Duncan on vocals, had a weekly gig at the old Dakota Bar & Grill in St.Paul, Minnesota.
30 years later, in 2023, the band was ‘revived’ with several of its original members, as the Adi Yeshaya Jazz Orchestra.
This time, Crooners Supper Club is hosting us but the new Dakota, now in Minneapolis, did grace us with a date that was documented on this video.
The amazing Jennifer Grimm is our featured vocalist now so stay tuned for our upcoming videos that will feature Jennifer with the Orchestra!
The original band:

I Got Lucky - ft. Debbie Duncan

My friendship with singer songwriter Marissa Dodge has resulted in several collaborations over the years. This must have been the first one. This song was originally written for a project that never panned out and the male-key in which the arrangement was written in did not stop vocalist Debbie Duncan from snatching the song and recording it with my big band. Recorded in 1992 by Steve Wiese at ...

Some Other Time - Debbie Duncan

Shortly after moving to the Twin Cities in 1988, a student of mine bought me a ticket to a Herbie Hancock concert. The opening act was a life-changing experience: It was Debbie Duncan. Two years later, Gary Raynor gave me my first chance to sub in her band. Then there were more gigs with her and, in 1992, when trumpeter Bernie Edstrom and I started my “small” big band we brought Debbie as the f...

    In my mid 20s I kind of convinced myself that the best music has already been made and that there isn't anything new to look forward to. Domi and JD Beck have totally changed that for me. Thundercat is another modern artist that's just as good as anything classic. There are aplenty of extremely talented younger people playing music right now. It feels good to be excited about modern music again!

    • @AdiYeshaya
      @AdiYeshaya 2 месяца назад

      In my opinion, when multiple parts are recorded by the same player and each part is isolated, the sound tents to be a bit sterile. Still, I thought it would be nice to hear real players as opposed to sampled sounds.

      @@AdiYeshaya oh, I didn’t mean in your videos, I meant in the records I’ve heard in the last 5-10years. Not all, but some that have real players. Maybe it’s the recording process? Because the sound is true when you go see a marching band for example

    As a musician, I understand your analysis and agree with all you've said. But as others have said, it's not everyone's "vibe". I don't think I could listen to this music for more than a minute. I'd be afraid of having a seizure. lol Seems most like her because she can play so fast (I doubt anyone leaves one of their concerts humming one of their melodies). Just because you can play fast, doesn't mean you have to all the time. Props for all the talent she has, but I just don't like it.

    First of all, thank you, thank you so much for this so rich content. Thank you for sharing this with us! I would like to clear up a doubt, if it is possible. Theoretically, how do you deal with the "cross-voicing" issue in your musical arrangements? In the examples showed in this video (e.g. at 9:12; 12:11 and 13:05), there are some cross-voicings that, academically, maybe would be avoided at all cost, but they sound so wonderful, really terrific, awesome! Are there any tips or rules you could recommend regarding this?

    • @AdiYeshaya
      @AdiYeshaya 3 месяца назад

      Hi, thank you for the kind words. Crossing inner voices is something I do on occasion to prevent repeating notes when the lead part is in motion. I hope that helps.

    • @PabloKrominskiProfessorMusica
      @PabloKrominskiProfessorMusica 3 месяца назад

      @@AdiYeshaya Thank you for your attention. However, in these examples I mentioned, the main melody merges with the secondary voices, crossing voices (or at least it seems like that happens, although aurally I don't feel or perceive that the voices have crossed. That's my question... Could you explain more about it? Or perhaps, please explain why in these cases it is not considered crossing voices. It's a simple question that, trust me, will help me a lot in my work as a musical arranger.

    This whole arrangement reminds me of the work of Anne Dudley on Seal's 1994 album (that starts with the song Bring it On), and on the Human Being album. The string arrangements on these albums are superb, and made me fall in love with string arrangements. Highly recommended albums if you love string arrangements in a pop song context. 🎻🎻🎻❤🎻🎻🎻 And Seal posted these albums on his official RUclips channel for all to enjoy! 🎻😍🎻

  • @benderocks788
    @benderocks788 3 месяца назад

    The 3 against 2 rhythm in the string parts, combined with the pick-up of the harp in bar 77 @ 10:24 makes a really nice passage, and also a nice transition to the suspended/unresolved chord in the strings that supports the harp ostinato. Lovely. 🎻🎻🎻😁🎻🎻

    Great stuff. Just discovered your channel and enjoying the arranging lessons. Having spent 20+ years editing audio in DP may I suggest when editing a hit that's longer than the rest you grab the separated bite with the hand grabber on the right side edit and shorten the bite itself to match the rest so you keep the entire note and don't have to fade out.

    In the quartal harmony @9:13, it's amazing to me how well it works when it goes outside. On the two Cm7s, the chromatic passing chords sound great. Sometimes they seem to imply chord changes (e.g. to the G7). Is that just a function of how ambiguous quartal harmony is? Like listener's brains can fill in the gaps as necessary? Or are you doing additional work to pick the right ones?
