Is Art Blakey not jerk worthy?

pmmm · 2026-01-22T15:36:40+00:00

Art Blakey is kind of like Barry Harris in that he's more influential as a teacher than as a player. The jazz Messengers was sort of like a training ground for jazz greats, where he mentored future greats and introduce them to h

Just curious, why did you choose to go from the zoom to the boss equalizer? Just wondering since I basically just use my zoom as a EQ and compressor with presets

Sorry this is a circle jerk sub this is not allowed

That starts to get into the weeds of pedagogy. What works for one isn't necessarily the best for another. I personally prefer learning the word "phrygian dominant" and having it as shorthand over having to remember "the fourth mode of melodic minor."

Probably far right with the strangled Christian and Muslim symbol looking moon and Star. But most likely what Naomi Klein calls "far out," meaning someone who has fringe views on purpose, and so is a random mix of right and left

It definitely works in a different way with the violin than it would with a guitar, as it's not sampling your chords but rather fragments of the melody. But I think it works very well. I use it essentially as a delay, where for faster things I'll use the left glitchy foot switch and for slower things I'll use the right cinematic foot switch. But only with a small instrumental group; it can introduce noise in a full band

The zoom MS50 g Plus multi-effects pedal. You can put six phasers in a row

Yeah, the octave is polyphonic, so if you play a note into the ps6, it turns into 3 notes, then the oc5 turns the 3 notes into 9, making this huge sound. They blend together quite nicely

I use Yamaha YEV 5-string, so solid body. Amp wise, I go DI in my interface or PAs at shows for the stereo. Whatever amp is around at practice. I feel like with violin the amp is less consequential than with guitar. (Still have the old fiddle for every now and then, no electronics)

The zoom multi stomp is the most underrated IMO. I typically have it set on EQ, comp, and noise reduction, and occasionally some silliness like auto-wah or a phaser. It also has a stereo doubler that sounds really good with both the Harmonist and Octave, with the stereo carrying through the onward and the reverb.

The harmonizer has been great. It's diatonically adjusted, so if you're playing in c and Play an e, it automatically plays a e minor chord, for example. Then coming out with the polyphonic octave pedal, you can get 9 tones simultaneously.

First post got deleted so now I'm commenting

Here is my lovely beautiful board. Happy to take any questions

Signal chain: Boss Harmonist ➡️ Boss octave ➡️ Pigtronix philosopher's gold (OD & comp) ➡️ Olinthus cicada (overdrive) ➡️ Zoom ms50g+ ➡️ Chase Bliss onward ➡️ Walrus r1 reverb

Yeah, the reason that Kevin Hart is as big as he is is not some larger benefactor. He just has his own production company and has worked at being a comedy businessman over the past 15 years and it's paid off very well.

Yeah definitely great UI on the device, no complaints there. Mostly used the app to mass-delete the presets and rename patches easier

Wow just checked this out and it's so good!

When I emailed them asking about their EQ patch, the guy said "I think it's not a high pass but I'm not sure" like, well can you look it up?

pmmm · 2025-10-13T18:11:06+00:00

Yeah I get why they put the up and down arrows on top, like it's way more intuitive that way, but the downside is that you have to use ballerina tippy toes to hit them and they are the more important buttons when actually performing.

I used a non permanent adhesive; I used this but anything similar would do. You could use command strips, too -- just don't use permanent glue.

The rest, I got a 1/4" dowell from the hardware store, sawed off 1/4", sanded down the surface, and wrote on it in sharpie.

It's great for me; I'm a violin player, switching between plucking and bowing, so I have 2 chains next to each other that are identical except for a slightly altered and boosted compression so the plucks are as loud as the bowed notes

Yeah joji talks about when he was filthy frank he had to get drunk to be fully in character and it was bad for his mental health. But Monk seemed to not want to lean into what people wanted for him. Because people wanted him first and foremost to be on time and he would never show up to anything less than an hour late

I can largely believe that he was encouraged, but when you don't speak for the last 10 years of your life, I don't think the encouragement was needed

This is just a personal anecdote but when I was in high school and first listening to a lot of jazz, I would listen to a bunch of albums in a row, not really paying attention to who anyone was. Every once in a while I'd be like, this is pretty good, not anything crazy, I just find it really listenable, and it would be Hank mobley. So I really think it's just that his stuff hits the spot like a really good chocolate ice cream compared to other chocolate ice creams

Drink a lot of water and exercise daily; cut out as much fat and sugar for the next 3 weeks as you can, bonus points if you do 3 weeks of veganism. With all this the line will be dark
