Featuring the AHA! Trio (Steve Houghton, Steve Allee and Jeremy Allen)
In this video, Houghton, Allee & Allen discuss how they approach an old standard with a new treatment - in this case in a 7/8 samba style. Interesting insights include:
* How to keep an intensity of a samba at a lower / "simmering" volume - and making it feel flowing without obvious attention to an odd meter feel.
* Playing drum "hits" in a trio environment without overpowering the other band members.
* How a 'group arrangement' can work for deciding on a tune's structure.
* One of Steve Allee's 'methods' of doing re-harmonizations on an older standard to freshen the arrangement.
* Dynamics and phrasing within the trio.

This new lesson series will provide a unique, inside look at the workings of a jazz trio and quartet. In each of the project’s 12 episodes, you will be treated to an inspiring performance of an original tune or standard, followed by a discussion from each individual player on what they were thinking and hearing during that tune.
As you listen to each performer’s unique perspective, you’ll learn how they interpret the style and arrangement of the music, interact, build solos & support the other soloists, shape the tune, and contribute to the overall energy level and transparency of the tune. As is often the case, hearing the insights of the other musicians can help shape our approach just as much (or more) than focusing on the view from our ‘chair’ in the ensemble!
