But below SCV in content for all of the music captions. There's still 3 weeks for SCV to clean that up. Hopefully Bloo has more content in store 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudding Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Bloo has always gotten shafted in content, going back most notably to 2015 when they were criminally under-recognized for their masterful usage of minimalism. That said, they're still so incredibly sloppy that I'm shocked that they're getting the execution numbers that they are. I think the kids are tired from putting out so much raw energy every night that they've lost control; hopefully the upcoming free day will rejuvenate them.

The white shows everything. But, who cares. High energy and entertaining every doggone second of the show. Wherever Bloo lands this year, my favorite show regardless. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel their execution is WAY better than their content. IMO, their brass book is FAR easier than SCV's. Its got energy yeah, but outside of a few trumpet runs in Zappa, demand seems to be lacking in the brass. I think the scores were right where they should have been tonight, including percussion and brass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo's environmental demands, metric demands, and hocket rhythms are all vastly superior to anything SCV is doing in those same categories. I'll agree that SCV is stronger in their chords and double-tonguing, but focusing on those is incredibly myopic from a holistic musical perspective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monoemono Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Very stoked that they won drums and brass tonight. Keep on pushing, Bloo!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen it live tonight I fully realize the timing demands. They have trading off eighth note passages across the field while jazz running. I would say Bloo has the most demanding brass book this year from a timing standpoint. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
