HOWARD ROBERTS, "STAR EYES"



Here's a rare clip of Howard Roberts live, sent to me by Charlie McCardell. This is the tune "Star Eyes," a pretty much forgotten pop song. (Charlie Parker recorded a version of it on his Swedish Schnapps album.) The clip is a little wobbly-- apparently it's one of the few live clips of Roberts.

Live clips of musicians sometimes have little details that provide insight into how they're thinking. Here you can see Roberts moving his right hand in eighth notes even when he's not picking any notes. (In other words, he's keeping time with his right hand even when he's not playing. This kind of thing can help you swing, if you're so inclined. It helps reinforce the idea that time is still going on even when a soloist rests.)

    Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
    sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!
