Title: Slow Blues
Performers: Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Neils Pedersen, and Martin Drew
Band Name: N/A
Culture/Origin: America
Orchestration: 2 Piano's, Bass, Drum Set.
After reading the Patricia Sheehan Campbell article for this week I realized that the best group to showcase is Count Bassie. The Count Basie Orchestra is famous for improvising whole songs in concert based on a loosely developed framework of chords and rhythms. What better example to demonstrate all facets of the pedagogy of listening. In this recording, Count Basie, Oscar Peternson, Neils Pedersen, and Martin Drew are having a musical conversation. For this event to take place all four men must be attentive to the musical output of the other men. Both Oscar Peterson and Count Basie switch from engaging and enacting the music during this video.
