JohnRogers Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Sort of like Feedback a one off side project of original jazz songs done unplugged with Geddy on a big ass jazz bass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Neil would have a field day with that, I don't think it would fit well for Ged or Alex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatchMaker97 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I like what Rush have been doing since the comeback, heavy metal / prog. They should stick to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 No because Peart cannot play jazz drums, he has no swing or improv skills. Everything Peart plays is prearranged and rehearsed meticulously. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New World Kid Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Roll the Bones was kind of like a rock/jazz/pop/funk fusion album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I hesitate to put a label on music, however, an "experimental" album from RUSH might be a better word - at least IMHO I'm talkin' long, cinematic instrumental sections ala the intro to Xanadu, sections of By Tor, Jacob's Ladder or The Necromancer ... those parts created such fantastic visuals - Songs that are in no hurry to expand right in front of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 No. I'm sure they could play it technically, but it would be forced and have no Jazz Soul. No offence to the band, but it's not their thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a musician but is playing jazz guitar boring? No because Peart cannot play jazz drums, he has no swing or improv skills.

bathory Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think they could have done a good fusion album in the late 70s or early 80s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone want to expand on this help me understand better?If it's not worked out and arranged as either a composition or a scripted drum solo then Peart is like a fish out of water. he's just not good at improvising drum parts and he has no sense of propulsive rhythmic feel or groove that you need for jazz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatchMaker97 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think it would be cool if on a new rush album, there was a drum only track. It would be neat to have a studio drum solo drum Neil. Or even a studio bass solo from Ged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) No because Peart cannot play jazz drums, he has no swing or improv skills. Everything Peart plays is prearranged and rehearsed meticulously.What about those Buddy Rich tribute albums he did in the nineties? What about that time he went to Africa and jammed with a drum master in public (read about that in a Rush book)? EDIT: And what about YYZ? Ever heard of how that was created, through a pure jam session between Ged and Neil while Alex was out flying airplanes with Terry?

JBsDWdrums Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Peart has a great love of jazz...but he simply does not swing...an absolute neccesity to play jazz....his improv isn't there either....I'm also not so sure that Lee and Lifeson are particularly good at those things either....Rush has loosened up in recent times....especially live...but those needed elements are not the same as what Rush has done.... Players jamming and creating over let's say a day throwing out what they don't like to make a five minute song is not the same and creating stuff in the moment live that sounds rehearsed for months...it just isn't.

What makes Peart so good, his accuracy, his machine like timing also makes him stiff and rigid when trying to play more freely with jazz.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
