What is Cool Jazz, Anyway?

- Definition: a term sometimes given to the music inspired by bebop but played by white musicians after World War II such as Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, Lennie Tristano, and Warne Marsh. However, Miles Davis, with his album Birth of the Cool, helped spread the popularity of the style, which tended to be more subdued and cerebral than hard bop, a parallel post-bebop movement.
Billy Taylor Productions Presents Jimmy Owens, flugelhorn; Billy Taylor, piano; Chip Jackson, bass and Steve Johns on drums.
I love how he smiles at 1:50 from his own piano riff. You can feel his enthusiasm for the genre.
yes!
was at the "mistake" he made hahaha
Cool jazz was more appealing to the average listener who did not like bebop. The reaction to cool jazz was a style called hard bop
That's a rotary-valve flugelhorn. Very cool!!☺
Ain't it the truth.
Very cool ? Why ? In Europa very much for a marching band that seldom plays swinging jazz, but I like it.
jazz is my best friend
yes, the sort of friend you can always count on
@tptvox Sadly, Billy left us last December. But thankfully, the great Jimmy Owens is still here and will soon receive the NEA Jazz Master Award, which he so richly deserves.
After listening to this sweet performance of Jimmy Owens, I have bought a rotary flugelhorn today. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful!
A very knowledgeable pianist. It shows up in his playing. Great performance by Jimmy Owens.
A great pianist and teacher. RIP
Never seen a rotary valve flugelhorn before but that definitely is one. It's even named as a flugelhorn in the next video. Very nice.
Yes, they're very rare in the US, but are used a lot in Germany and Austria, where they're made. That's one gorgeous horn Owens has, and it sounds wonderful too.
And now I know the style of jazz used on so many Peanuts cartoons.
@JazzVideoGuy Wonderful! I got goosebumps listening to them play. :-)
Cool is cool Sooo coool!!!!!! Swinging it Beautiful all of you and Jimmy your mellow groove is intoxicating!!!
LOVE IT 🎉❤😃
Wow, you should put this in a playlist so I can start from the beginning. A great series on the history of jazz.
Nobody played smoother than LESTER "PREZ" YOUNG!!!
Yeah Man he also invented Cool Jazz Speak. 10 years as the star of the Basie Band too!
Quotation The Christmas Song by Jimmy.
@ 6'40"
i don't know. in a very shallow sense, you have a point. but the longer you listen to jazz, the more capable you are in describing the different approaches and attitudes jazz music can take on. cool jazz is definitely the reaction to bebop. west and east coast jazz are different. there is as much culture, tradition, style and heritability in jazz as there is individuality and persona.
So awesome... so cool ;)
Thank you for posting this! What a nice reference
love this kind of jazz
Excellent! That's for posting this!
Excellent!
Tbh didnt think he was gonna sit down at the piano and then play it like a boss
reminds me of an album my father had... Big Blues by Art Farmer and Jim Hall
That's a great album. Art and Jim had a group for many years.
Nice!
That's cool.. im not sure what you call it.. a slide maybe, that's surely easier on a piston valve instrument, rather than a rotary, due to the length of stroke to actuate.. I don't think my old rotary trumpet could do them (or it wasnt easy), meanwhile it was easy on a Conn 56b.
Bebop or nothing at all ! Harlem World baby !
diggin the Lew Wasserman glasses lol
@tptvox Me, too!
I was watching some Barry Harris videos as well as having seen him play live countless times in the early 70s and beyond and to me, he's still playing the hip shit; it may sound even hipper nowadays because a lot these newer cats who play jazz don't seem to go back far enough, in terms of the trumpet. They all seem to stop at Miles after he became a soloist. Miles is still one of the greats, of course. The saxes are a little different for me in terms of this discussion. It's just my personal opinion.
well taught.
cool jazz is really nice
agreed
"Cool" is not a reaction to bebop.
There was never a reaction to bebop. Charlie Parker's feeling and musical vocabulary influenced everybody.
This is a music of individuals. The greatest ones at that time were Charlie Parker and Lennie Tristano.
Musicians at that time - the late forties to the early fifties - were influenced by both of them.
Cool is prior to Charlie Parker. Lester Young coined the term and is the incarnation of cool itself.
Cool jazz is jazz that's cool.
Beautiful!!!! Can you come lecture to my class? (I wish we could afford it)
ya like jazz
@bluesky810 agree
@oxonhillmsband They don't make rotary flugelhorns?
Which video is this from?
It's been a long, long time since this was posted, but does anyone know, by any chance, when this show/concert was emmited? Kinda need it for a class project
Produced at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in 1992.
@@JazzVideoGuy thank you so much
Didn"t know Morpheus could play like that
Interesting comparison, Jimmy Owens and Lawrence Fishburne.
QUAL É O NOSSO DESSE TEMA ALGUEM PODE DIZER????
Recorded when?
It's jazz with no edge
Interesting......
is that chip jackson on bass?
oh come on. by that sense their is no way of even roughly dividing up types of music. that's just unpractical. yeah, their isn't any hard and fast way of classifying music as cool jazz, be-bop, rock, folk or any other "type" of music. but they are undeniably different in many ways. labeling music as "cool jazz" or any other type of music for that matter is an extremely useful and practical way of talking about music. as I said before - come on mate, get over it.
Who wrote Boplicity?
Gil Evans wrote Boplicity.
@@JazzVideoGuy Thanks.
Also, with the exception of Miles, Blakey, maybe Trane (although he's in his own category in many ways), and one or two others, the term "Cool", it now seems to me, was just another way of commercializing, packaging and exploiting jazz for the bourgeois whom did not really know or understand but looked down on the real shit socially, intellectually. But, everyone has their own tastes.
Once Cool Jazz was hip, Miles was moving on to something else.
Jimmy’s solo 5:53
One of the great trumpeters!
"Cool Jazz" is just a label. It means nothing. It is a way of selling something.
Jazz is an art form of individuals.
Charlie Parker did not play "bebop"; He played Charlie Parker.
Lennie Tristano did not play "cool" jazz. He played Lennie Tristano.
1:52 he fucked up
What a load of crap.
"Cool" is a completely meaningless term.
It is a label invented by critics who are unable to distinguish one player from another.
If it means something to you, fine.
To me, it is a bunch of bs concocted by people who can't really feel music.
