    Jazz was an avenue for African-American psychic/intellectual expression that didn't need anyone else's permission to exist. It was and continues to be undeniable.

    Beautiful job on this Caira! My dad had stacks of jazz records including 78rpm discs of Charlie Parker with Strings and Dizzy Gillespie doing Oop Bop Sh’bam - and many more. I grew up with those great sounds all around me.

      The course is called "San Francisco". This particular section of my class focuses on Lawrence Ferlinghetti's (of City Lights Bookstore) publication of Howl, and the 1957 SF-based obscenity trial that followed.

    If anyone wants to learn this music, Don't look into books, listen to the music!. Find a software or recorder to slow it down and just play the lines try to find the chords over which the lines are played over! It is very difficult stuff but there's a logic to it:) if you listen to it for a long time you'll notice a logic, this same logic is what it enables the music to sound different always:) and of course experimentation, which is i think the most important thing;) every musician you see wailing, Is mainly due to his extremely use of time immerse in experimentation:)

    • @farshimelt
      @farshimelt 3 роки тому

      Or listen to any BeBop composition based on I Got Rhythm and sing the melody of I G R through all the solos and you'll eventually hear the the connection.

    This is a great mashup of a lot of different sources! Thanks for making this. I'm actually planning out a class on punk and I want to use bebop v. swing as a pattern of music as resistance and social commentary to go ahead and talk about punk's emergence as resistance to pop and prog rock, social conventions, gender/race issues, the imperial nature of capitalism, etc. I think I'll have students watch this to give them a good a overview of what bop musicians were doing. In my own thinking, I call both bebop and punk "musical fuck yous!"

      Advice: send an email first outlining your project, just let it be a formal invitation to be interviewed and let them know how much you need THEM specifically, what is it they have to offer that makes it imperative they give you their time. Offer a copy of the project after its finished and a thank you. After you interview them, send a thank you card - create a reputation w/ them, as if they have any friends who would be willing to help.

    My only problem with this narrative come is that I don't like people, I like old school jazz, I like New Orlean Jazz, I like screaming That Jazz,..
    Mainly because Modern Day jazz practitioners and typically play Bebop, and totally disregarding the likes of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, chick Webb and his orchestra on and on and off, when they practice jazz in colleges and universities, it's within the form of Bebop. And Bebop actually, was not that popular. And did not sell records...
    You can't dance to it, the harmonies are too complex, African-American stop doing their dance called the Lindy Hop as a result of that, and that Dan tragically disappeared out of the black community...
    I understand the fact that jazz musicians wanted to elevate themselves, wanted to challenge themselves exedra oh, but you have to think about the ideas what they want to listen to them what they want to hear.
