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.
@@jazzguy1927 Wow! Unfortunately I'm not surprised, knowing how fickle, shallow, ignorant and fearful human beings can sometimes be. It's great that you even had the heart to share. Their loss.
Awesome. Thanks so much for this.
What an incongruity...on any Bebop history (and this is a GOOD one!!)...you still have to listen to IN THE MOOD....JA JA JA
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.
wow, this was great! thanks for your wonderful documentry Caira!
Thank you for making this brilliant film!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Eddie Jefferson's Trane's Blues gives a nice recap of the evolution from his perspective.
This is what i was looking for! Excellent!
Great video! Thank you for making and sharing…
Thanks for watching!
You did a marvelous job on this documentary! Respect!
This is great -- my students will love it; thank you!
Amazing Doc.
Thank you I love this, always had a natural love for jazz & this warms my heart.
This is wonderful!!
Good work! I was looking for an explanation of bebop in less than ten minutes. Thanks!
This is excellent, and exactly what I need to introduce my San Francisco State University class to Bebop so they better understand its influence in Allen Ginsberg's poem, Howl, and in relation to that generation as a whole. Thank you!
what course is that?
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.
Sounds fantastic!
💛
I'm going to use it for my "Music of New York" course at NYU, thank you so much Caira. Your sources are so well chosen and I really appreciate the representation in the video.
Very very nice work !
Wonderful doc, seeking to learn more about jazz, this was incredibly enlightening
Thank you, for sharing,,,excellent work!
thank you, Ive been loving bebop for so long and I now love it even more knowing the story behind it. It still is so fresh and alive one of the best responses humans ever had to our limitations. the closest we'll ever come to defying gravity. Thank you to all the great musicians

this was great!
When I was 14 yrs. old, my stepfather gave me a Jazz at the Philharmonic recording. It was ok until Charlie Parker started to play and I said to myself, that's the music I want to play and I did for the next 60 yrs.
This is a wonderful video! Thank you! Is there any way to upload another version that has louder volume?
Hi Heather! You can download it, turn up the volume using a video editor, and save it in your own personal files.
Great vid, cheers
Nice doc
This is so useful to help me with my work, I hope you don't mind me using some of the info and references you used for my presentation do you?
But seriously, this is a great little documentary, thank you.
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:)
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.
Very helpful, thank you
thank you

1946: "This is the sort of bad taste and ill advised fanaticism that has thrown innumerable impressionable young musicians out of stride."
2019: Jazz improvisation is a requirement to graduate a prestigious music school with a degree in jazz studies.
Actually 2010 when this was published but you get the idea. Great little mini documentary. Thanks and kudos. I enjoyed it very much.
Great video :)
great video
Thank you.
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!"
Excellent juxtaposition. BeBop and the original New Orleans Jazz are the equivalents of punk.
Yeah so was rock and roll at its inception....and rap which was the greatest F U
@@farshimelt hardly.....
Who else is watching this for school?
Administrator: Great mini-doc, but the volume is way too low! Any way to fix that?

Zellig Never have seen it
interviewer name and source? please help
I am the interviewer for all interviews except Amiri
caira lee Thank you. I am writing a university dissertation on whether jazz music was a good or bad force for racism. Do you have any tips for approaching musicians for interviewers and sources of information? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is a fantastic video.
Thank you!
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.
Try to get in touch with club owners - they saw everything go down and were there for years.
Thank you both very much.
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.
How could anyone see this and think Hip Hop came from any other culture?
you spelt extremely wrong @ 6:54
And you wrote an incomprehensible non-sentence.
Not bad...your angle of the 'social' aspects of the change from swing ignores the economics involved @ the end of WWII
Appreciate the feedback! Did this for a high school project when I was 16. Would definitely do more research in present day.
Its berets not barrettes!
Sometimes you need barrettes to hold the berets in place.
So proud that this is yet another black creation, a fine example of black excellence and dominance...yet sad because wtf are black doing people with it now?
A lot actually.
Most jazz musicians are and always have been black
imagine doing elective music...
Blaming capitalism?
I think not.
good piece but it really needed more music without the vo
great stuff!
Glad you think so!
Good job!
Can someone remind me the name of the piece at 1:05 ?
In The Mood - Glen Miller
