Stantan Moore videos

Thanks for the information. That's one of my favourite music too! I'm still listening to Armstrong when I need that New Orleans vibe!
 
if u guys like new orleans, u really need to check out john cleary man. he's playing with bonnie raitt at the moment and he is awesome. he's a keyboard player. alot of bonnie raitt stuff has that swinging oily kinda new orleans sound. there's this drummer called mike clark that has a real gd understanding of the swing funk kinda sound.
i love new orleanssssss too baby

Oh man, Mike Clark!!! He was with Herbie Hancock's Headhunters! Very funky drummer who's playing has this new orleans swing to it. Very nice.....

You like new orleans too? Welcome to the club, man!
 
oh yah man i'm fully into that new orleans nonsense!
hows ur second line drumming? i'm going through some stuff on it and we can have a little exchange when i get back at the end of this year.
 
My new orleans chops sucks, man! Can only fake it out... sigh... no time to practice. Bought a book by Herlin Riley a few years ago on second line drumming, thought I will have the time to work on it. Well, I think I have to find some time to do it.

BTW, which part of the world are you now?
 
i'm in australia now, in this little kumpong. will be back end of this year. but man if u can swing already it shouldn't be that much of a prob. just the co ordination of the clave pattern on the feet i think. does ur book require u to play 2&4 on the hi hat? i got to take a look at that book when u get back hommie. diff books i find have diff ways of playing a second line, some play 8ths on the bass some do a clave thingy. wat records u listen too with the second line stuff

Not been listening much except Louis Armstrong... any recommendation?
 
hey guys, what about zigaboo modeliste? his feel is definitive new orleans, yet one of a kind. moore is one of my favourite drummers and modeliste and johnny vidacovich are two of his greatest influences. both of them are listed on drummerworld as well. vidacovich played for prof longhair and dr john. thats what you should listen to!

for a contemporary take on second line stuff thats true to their roots, dirty dozen brass band is killer. theres also rebirth brass band but they seem to lean towards hip-hop-ish rnb. if im not wrong, both still go with the original instrumentation of a bass drum player and a snare drummer.

on the local front, not so long ago i noticed gary ublues tan incorporating alot more of the bo didley based stuff in his solos. that was solidddd.
 
oh and everybody should check out garage a trois. its one of moore's project bands which includes charlie hunter (8str), mike dillon (vibes, perc) and skerik (sax). hunter needs no introduction; dillon and skerik both played with les claypool, so thats how crazy they are. YET theyre true to their roots. this band is the future of new orleans man you have to check them out. http://www.garageatrois.com/
 
Hi Boo,

How could i have forgotten about Dirt Dozen Brass Band! But it's quite difficult to buy their albums in S'pore.

Gary? God, he's good! one of the most humble and down to earth person that i know.
 
zigaboo for sure mann! haven't heard my dirty dozen i have to admit, the library here isn't that gd on disc, wld love to though! man i really need to get a lesson with gary when i get back, if anyone can hook me up with him i wld be really appreciative. for some new orleans kinda stuff my fav is still jon cleary man, his drummer is jelly roll something forgot his full name sorry. herlin riley is really gd as well, abit too traditional for me i find though. i might be coming back this june it wld be gd if we cld have a exchange then. i got some second line rhythms for my lec over here. and do u guys know which issue it is where they transcribe garage a tois song "sprung monkey"
 
hey, i remember reading the issue but cant remember which. also that must be one of moore's most recorded pieces, ive heard at least 4 versions. cant remember whoch version the article referred to either.

anyhoo, ill be visiting nashville, then going to bonnaroo, then down to memphis and then new orleans hopefully in time to catch stanton moore at a pub gig !!!!!kjwjiaigtr

im wondering if anybody is aware of any musicians who ll be gigging in those areas around that time. (i realised ill be missing lamb of god at the house of blues by one day BOO.) or if i could get personal opinions about the places i should go to. am leaving this wednesday.
 
i think moore has his own very unnique style of playing and techniques used. his body kinda moves around with the music. ha. great drummer.
 
Hi guys, just completed one of Moore's video, the one on traditional approach. At least I have a better understanding of the 2nd line drumming now. I will also be buying his book to study from it.
 
cool. i just met stanton yesterday. you have to see him live in the flesh, its absolutely nothing compared to the videos ive seen. they dont do his dynamic range and expressiveness justice at all. hopefully he ll be able to come down here soon ;)
 
caught him in a popular pub called dba in new orleans. it was just a duo, moore with robert walter. (he did some tracks for walter's new album.)

i also caught johnny vidacovich with astral project. hes bloody amazing. and his rolls are the cleanest and smoothest i can remember seeing/hearing in my life.

you can see obvious similarities in style and development of the second line rhythms in moore and vidacovich, but at the same time enough differences for each to be unique. bloody good stuff.
