I watch this one in a permanent loop and try to cover it, because of its perfection (in my eyes), but my bpm are somewhere at 60

I’ve always loved Hendrix’s version of Hey Joe. These guys take it into space. But the bassist keeps things grounded.

You know we whinge and whine about having to make micro shifts on our fretting. Just look at the length of shift he’s making. Who says you have to stick to a finger per fret!?
Oh and that is one sweet bit of laid back jazz music! I love it!

I think they would embrace this and maybe make a video about it

PJ is not a band that does bad original songs. In fact, it’s not a “band” at all.
Postmodern Jukebox is a rotating collective of really talented jazz musicians that, as their “jukebox” moniker suggests, takes popular or well-known tunes and arranges them with primarily early-20th century swing or other jazz sensibilities.
That said, here’s the video that Scott Bradlee created as the first ever Postmodern Jukebox tune sendup, this time with a Motown take:

I grew up with jazz since I was tiny kid. I used to share a bedroom with my older brother (15 years older), and he routinely put a stack of jazz records on his hi-fi for us to go to sleep by. Nat King Cole was always in the mix, and many others.
I later studied jazz in college and played sax in jazz bands. I dig the playfulness and musicianship involved in jazz arrangements. Jazzbos are unique musicians who have fun pushing the boundaries of conventional theory and technique. As usual, the greats make it look easy, but, in fairness, it IS easy. For them. I admire them greatly, hence, this thread.

Interesting, I’d not noticed before but Rina anchors her thumb on E, A and D strings.
