A little something to brighten your day...
Yeah, it's a shameless product promo, but this is just cool beyond words - right down to the authentic 1920's period-furnished NYC brownstone parlor:
Adrien Chevalier, violin Vinny Raniolo and Vinny Valentino, guitars |
Very cool! Those cats can really play!
|
I can't hack that kind of playing with my own hands/brain, even badly, but it sure was nice to see/hear that trio do it.
I've always loved that comping style. Done right I don't miss drums in a combo at all. |

Dang,
That was very cool! What a great promo video! What fun! - Glenn |
Wonderful Playing & Setting!
|
They nailed that one! Thanks for posting.
|
Vinny plays in a couple of bands that I like to follow. Great musician. Never heard of the other guy but he's great too, and that violin, nuff said....
|
FWIW, period/authentic 1920s would mean playing purely acoustically, right?

As you said, his later years ;)
I think my post didn't come across as intended. I was merely pointing out (aka inquiring about) something that I couldn't help noticing as a former early music performer. The only actual problem I have with this is that it doesn't allow me to get an independent and objective idea of what the instruments sound like (and by that I mean their acoustic voice, not what comes out of a processing chain) and how they match up to the violin. Of course I didn't mention the recording equipement, that's the inevitable anachronistic part required for any recording. For which I assume that the sound techs (and the musicians themselves) always aim to get the most representative rendition of the sound a live audience would hear. (That said, I'd have appreciated this even more if it had been recorded through a single binaural mike set-up.) And I certainly wasn't implying anything about the musical performance itself. I'm not the biggest Grappelli fan (nor is this what I prefer to hear on violin) but I wouldn't have had trouble believing it was him playing. |
On top of some great music, exquisitely played, they really nailed the nostalgic/art deco vibe.
Great promo ! |
Great playing. Thanks for sharing it. When I listen to something like this I recall that I can play all those notes-just not in that order at that speed!
|
Love this! Thanks for sharing Steve.
|
Makes me want to go out and buy one! I wish I could buy some talent too.
