That clip has it all...Muppets, drumming, the old guys on the balcony and an uplifting song to pull it all together. Below is another muppet show clip with Buddy Rich facing off with Animal in a drum battle.
A jazz improvisation blog specifically engineered by a team of jazz engineers to make you hipper than you currently are. Note: as a result of this blog, you may find yourself alone in a roomful of squares.
On This Day in the Jazz Age
It's about time little one,
I've been expecting you.
Welcome Jazzers of Jazztown Heights!
Congratulations! You are officially witness to the birth of the Yorktown Central Jazz Blog, a place where all that is cool and hip, or cool but not hip, or neither cool nor hip (hip is always the first to go) can be printed, viewed and commented on.
As this site grows like a little bald monkey baby into a Sinatra-esque lounge singer, you will have access to everything that a budding jazz musician could want... Such as video of great musicians both living and robotic, info on mouthpieces and reeds that will make you dizzy (not Dizzy Gillespie however), harmonic considerations (whatever that means) and links to solo transcriptions you can try playing in your free time. Don't pull a hammy, and please don't hesitate enjoy your exploration in here.
The website for this blog is http://yorktowncentraljazz.blogspot.com/ If I were you, I would bookmark this page now, then practice.
Oh, and don't forget to click on all the archived links below. There are lots of little gems in there, waiting to be picked up.
