Estupendo

Good intro series. My only criticism would be that the styles are much more diverse than presented. In its pure form Jazz should be a style unique to every artist. Understanding that education often falls into encapsulation and dissection, the search for an individual voice in Jazz makes for difficult pigeon holes.

Thanks for covering this period, which was completely ignored in the Ken Burns series. One key element about fusion that was not discussed here was the integration of musical forms from other parts the world, as exemplified by John McLaughlin and Shakti. Eastern philosophy also started to influence some of the music, as it influenced the culture as well.

Thank you. Great series. I ran across this in my college course on History of Jazz in America when doing a UA-cam search for Bebop.

Fantastic introduction to jazz. BUT The Rockit clip is DAMN TOO FAST!! Compare with other sources available on the internet!

Love it, keep on going!!!!

you have a serious problem with the Voice volume. thuds and bumps are heard loudly but your voice is very low. (listening with a Focusrite 2i4 and a Pair of KRK Rokit 5)

As far as the decline of the big bands you forgot to mention that the content became more and more commercial and people were looking for something else. As far as dancing was concerned, that mantle was taken up by the small R and B “jump” bands and ultimately Rock and Roll.

There was plenty of individual improvisation in the swing era. Basie, Ellington…..

The swing era was about dancing irrespective of the number or instruments.

this is what I wanted the Ken Burns series to show.

A type of jazz that takes repeated listening for appreciation and understanding

First, Thx for the effort of making this series! Hi I ran into later videos of this series first. But I do want to point something, If possible for the future, could you please run your dialogue through mouth denoisser. It's so hard to listen to with the mouth spit every extra time you take. Please please. I want to be able to listen to this videos.

Great presentation! ❤

Nice video, very informative.

where do you get your sources from?

Hey mr McLeod your dedication to your passion and your amazing work hasn't just touched the lives of your students and people around you but it has travelled the world crossed borders all the way to Egypt where it has enriched the life of a young man such as myself and brought him joy to know a bit about the genre of music closest to his heart. In the depth of night, in the cold winter, you drew a smile on my face and sparked a little joy in my heart as I listen to you with fascination.

A really underrated Chanel. I love jazz. Bebop is my style.

Sailor was a mean scatter (also)

I don't know about all public secondary schools in the United States but my music class was a joke compared to this. I wish we would have learned all this. Thank you so much for making this available to everyone and not just your students. You are a hero.

Great educational video thanks for your contribution. Also the listening part are beautiful choises

jazz had a foundation in ragtime

please transcribe this or add captions.

The demise of the swing era came because Ella Fitzgerald had to die sometime, and so....

White man always on that slick stuff ..the Native American too ..jelly roll Morton use to hear em pass by he spoke about it

Who’s your favorite drummer? Elvin Jones And Tony Williams are my favorites. Art Blakey and Max Roach are early greats.

You say that because you don’t understand how to play free. I do and I know the difference. Between those who know how to play free and those who don’t know how to play free jazz

I play bass

The reason it's called "Free Jazz", is because it's not worth anything.....

Well to me like bebop came out of the swing era and like the best soloists was in the band with the form jam sessions and that's how Bebop for me

Oh yeah, definitely agree that you know jazz music. He came of interest of listening to the dancing but that was always there as well

Hard Bop & Avant-garde Jazz genre are my favorites

This is incredibly comprehensive and essential for what I’ve been desperately needed to progress

You are going to talk about Bebpp and Jazz and NOT play ANY music????

I came here for a quick answer but stayed for the lesson. Thanks!

Good video. Necessarily broad strokes of course , very interesting . However , I'm not sure about some of your socio-political stuff and comments about addiction though .Re the latter , it does nobody any good to blame anything in particular - no matter who it is .

Very excellent education . I’m learning a lot

I think the decline of swing was America and a large part of Europe dealing with and embracing chaos. Big band swing was structured, all about order. There were surprises, but audiences knew what to expect beginning to end. The war shook everyone of all races, and they eventually caught up to the uneasy feeling the poor and oppressed had for centuries. Music that told you that everything made sense felt like a lie. People still wanted to enjoy beauty, but they wanted it broken.

Bruh, it seems like a poor justification for the practice. Really? 2:24

Brilliant! Thank you.

19:35 such an important point to make. Thank you

Great Video! You're passionate and its conagious. More people should see this!!

Rhythm secrtion? Is that where something secretes rhythm? 10:40

Great Stuff! Thanks

Man your videos are awesome! Why did you stop

Great video. In regards to dance I think we tend to dance more to the rhythm section, with the soloist being the embellishment. Barry Harris said that Parker would play to packed dance halls and man can you dance to his performances. Personally I think its unfortunate that people tend to take it far too seriously 😅

If you think African Americans came up with everything in jazz and developed it, read "the lost chords" by a jazz historian who argues that this wasn't entirely the case, white musicians made huge contributions to jazz throughout its process, including very early on during Dixieland jazz era. Even during the Bebop era there were numerous collaborations between white and black musicians and in fact, black musicians would often latch themselves to white musicians in order to be able to have more opportunities to perform in places they otherwise couldn't. The lost chords book argues that contributions by white musicians to jazz are consistently overlooked and aren't given nearly enough credit.

Instructive

Very good

Thank you for this, I really enjoyed your presentation style. Very easy to follow. I'll be checking out more of your videos.
