fair enough, …
fair enough, whatever. I cant be bothered to argue with someone who thinks that Jools runs circles around Herbie Hancock. Sigh.
And I dont really care for Art Tatum. Like yourself, I like music.
See my other …
See my other comments to see what i mean in more detail.
I think in saying I …
I think in saying I think Jools sounds the best I sound like someone who’se just picked the most obvious choice and never listened to anything else… this ain’t the case! I’m very literate in the world of jazz piano but I know what I like. Herbie Hancock?! Jools runs cirlces around him in my opinion. Herbie has a more complex inventive technique but that does little to excite me. Jools’ gospel blues barrelhouse boogie sound is far superior. Herbie Hancock, Art Tatum… nah, prefer Jools.
…that’s why I …
…that’s why I feel, personally for me, he is “the best”. That is the joy of the arts! Art cannot be defined as good or bad based alone on technical ability. Its how that particular artist’s (be it musician, poet, actor, writer) affects an individual. And for me Jools feels better than any other pianist I have encountered! And i’ve listened to alot. Its the way he plays, his feel, his soulfullness, his technique is my favourite and in my opinion the best!! You are not wrong! Neither am i.
I think it depends …
I think it depends on what your definition of what makes a piano player better than another exactly is… you are clearly someone who is very closed minded when it comes to art and reguards the best only in terms of technical ability (of which Jools is far from the best), if this is the case then it would only ever be pianists like Art Tatum who would ever be considered. I can assure you I have listened to many pianists and no-one ever makes me feel as good as Jools! So…
If you want to …
If you want to learn from the best. Learn from Dr John, he’ll teach you what real rhythm is over in N’awlins
I agree. Don’t get …
I agree. Don’t get me wrong, Jools IS an amazing piano player and he does sound great. But i’ve heard many other pianists who sound just as good, if not better.
Herbie Hancock?
Lang Lang ’sounds’ amazing as well.
I’m not going to write a huge list, but there are countless more i could add to it. Jools is great, he sounds great, but if you havent heard any better, then you need to broaden your musical horizon a little because there are some absolute gems out there to find
If you like this …
If you like this kind of thing then check out the first track on Jason Moran’s Modernistic, or Keith Jarrett- You Took Advantage of Me, off the album My Foolish Heart. Two examples off the top of my head…
look dude, if you …
look dude, if you love Jools Holland then great! Everyone has different tastes, that’s fine, but to say I’ve yet to hear a piano player who sounds as good as Jools just shows that you’ve not listened to many piano players. There is “no-one better” because you obviously haven’t listened to who is out there.
I’m not trying to be a nasty cunt, I’m just trying to be realistic here.
I totally disagree, …
I totally disagree, who are you comparing him to?! And in what sense?! He’s a fine exponent of boogie woogie and all the popular styles (and he happens to be my favourite). I’ve yet to hear a piano player who sounds as good as Jools Holland. Yeh there are those who are technically better but what does that actually mean?! NOTHING!! His feel for his instrument is flawless! There is no-one better!
He cannot sight …
He cannot sight read. He personally doesn’t arrange pieces for his band, he and the rythm section learn the music by ear and then a variety of different people write the charts for the brass etc. But he did study music theory so he knows his chords etc… reguardless the man is a GENIUS!! Best boogie woogie/blues/rock ‘n’ roll/pop piano player working today!
that was great, …
that was great, thank you for up-loading.
Ha ha ha lol
Ha ha ha lol
LOT OF shite
Most …
LOT OF shite
Most and biggest lot of SHITE!
Just shows that JH plays the Elton John of ”Boogie woogie” Ray charles??? Would he have entertained absolute SHITE? Then why entertain JH? He’s a germ – an purpose of indoctrination AGAINST society! Wake up!
does jools holland …
does jools holland suck cock? any one got a number for him? i’m dry as a bone!
BB King think’s …
BB King think’s he’s one of the best.
But that’s just the opinion of some old guitar player from the south.
