Try listening to some properly good jazz recordings for example: Miles davis, John Coltrane. Some later stuff and I promise that if you close your eyes and really listen, you will fall in love.
The title of this video is really a rhetorical question, it's purpose is not to absolutely define jazz, if you came here looking for that, then keep digging, and you will find it can't really be defined , or put into a box. This video does a great job of explaining many of the key concepts and attributes of this music including : 1) it is very much alive and always changing 2) It is a reflection of America's culture and history 3) It is about Freedom 4) At it's core is a dialogue, a conversation between musicians ... One thing I think they did miss though was more focus and attention on the Blues......
I just want to know what I sounds like so I can identify the genre of random songs I like better. Cuz Idk if there are jazz elements or not. Dumb video
I dont really agree on the number 2. We cant deny that jazz was born in America. But it has evolved so much that it does not always reflect the american culture n history. It is true for the classic jazz, in which we can also see how it is still related to blues so much. But i dont think that is the case when we see the more modern types of jazz, or even latin jazz, bossanova, etc. I would say its some kind of sub genre that could be influenced by other cultures in the world. I would say jazz is freedom in expression and improvisations. But even this cannot really define what jazz is. We need to feel it when listening to know if it is jazz.
I heard a band playing jazz when I passed by a bar yesterday. I was so deeply drawn to the music that I what to know everything about jazz now. Do anyone have some suggestions on artists to follow or must-listen albums?
I personally dig Oscar Peterson’s album “Night Train” but it depends on what kind of jazz you like. If you’re into WWII swing era stuff, check out Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington. For later stuff (1950s and 60s jazz), look at Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Canonball Adderley, Oscar Peterson, etc. many of the jazz greats we know of today came from that era of jazz.
Thanks! came here after seeing Joey Alexander play Jazz Piano! Learnt a little bit more about Jazz here - a fluid conversation & improvisation of harmonics, syncopation, notes & rhythm :) on another channel : "...Jazz is when you take the music and make it yours, and then give it to someone else - That's Jazz." "...its the language of the spirit. The closest language to your heart..."
im 15 turning 16 and idk jazz is like i don't even know to my ears, i wish i could vacation to the time where jazz was the street lights, idk i have this passion for it! 😂
I wonder why Americans seem to ignore this channel. After all, you guys pay the taxes to fund the Smithsonian. Anyway, great video, great content in general. You just earned yourself a new subscriber.
I seem to know what people mean by Jazz. But the more I look, the more I listen, the more I doubt I know what Jazz really is. What I have seen in this video is the stereotipical or the classical of jazz, which I am not really into. What about smooth jazz? Then Brazilian jazz? Acid jazz? N many more. Are these jazz? Because they are labeled as jazz too. But somehow theyre different. At least my soul resonates differently upon hearing these jazzes. So is jazz what I say is jazz? In the end we would still be asking, what is jazz?
Miles Davis was not exactly renowned to be the most democratic person in his band. Still, we regard him as one of the most influential artists of all time. So, the idea that jazz is democratic, although fascinating, does not hold true against real events and people. What I think is more correct is that jazz i as born to be accepting anybody in, as long as you put your soul in it and groove like never before. This is what jazz feels to me, hearing the stories of the past musicians. It is tolerant, it is humane and humanitarian. Who cares if it is not democratic after all. Davis earned his authority through his actions and music. And also, he was still an human being, fallable as any other.
These suits don't know much about jazz .. classical music was precomposed, but when they invented audio recording - they started to capture improvising.... That's it... No wonder Jazz isn't popular now, they can't even explain it properly

please stop saying that jazz came out of the church. That has no factual basis whatsoever. So much so that Thomas Dorsey was basically thrown out of the church for integrating blues(Jazz) with spiritual or hymns as they were called. I'm dismayed with these contant misnomers and misrepresentations of So-called Jazz. Please knock it off!!!!!!! Please Please Get your facts and timelines right. I say with Love and truth.
I'm reading a grammar contains an eg :( someone needing job security might not want to be a jazz musician)..... Aaannddd........ I really Wana know just whyyy!!!?? 😐🤔
"Jazz came out of the African American community experience and and much of that is based on the black church." Okay -- except the majority of black church music was, and is. playing and singing white European spirituals. The woman says "Jazz is still happening". Ad lib ensemble small band (7 pieces) used to be the Black and white mainstay from 1917 until 1931. It did have a limited revival from 1939 to around 1990s. But it is definitely tiny right now with very little activity, and most of that by old white men. The majority of what this video plays is big band "jazz" where the actual jazz is read. He says "the orchestra takes the music off the page..." So really the main invention is by the composer and arranger. Almost any play can be replaced and it will be good. But the early stuff depended on unique personal contributions. Other than a few die-hard kids throughout the country, we're not hearing much hot brilliance these days.
Kennith Kimery: "....That's the wonderful thing about jazz but also about this country is that we all have the opportunity to have a voice....." Why are White Americans so deluded? Doesn't he know what goes on in his own country? That or he just chooses to ignore it!
If you were to describe any other idea using such meaningless and vague terms, it would be called bullshit lol. So far Jazz sounds like one too. I hope to understand it one day.
I'm just trying to know what sounds make "jazz" so I can find more songs with elements like it or to see if some modern songs I like has jazz elements in it. This video is like the most useless thing ever. And for all those dumb ppl saying if you have to ask you'll never know, just dumb. I didn't grow up in her era how would I know. How do you want others to learn of something you love and can't even give me a good video.
@@georgaseebalack6003 haha what do we plebs know. I was watching a jazz concert the other day to see what it was all about. One old dude was blowing a trumpet and looked constipated and if he was about to die. The sheer concentration on his face! As if he's driving a formula one car. But he just farts out random noises that barely resemble a melody. And he was playing with other musicians and they all do the same thing. No coherent melody. Just random sounds. It was like watching kids attempt to play instruments for the first time. And they all look at each other and smile as if giving an invisible pat on each other's backs for how great they are at bullshitting lol.
Cas Perry haha. I love the way you describe things. Joy to read. I listened to a few more videos after this one and discovered the messiness as I call it that you’re describing. I discovered that what I was used to was smooth jazz which isn’t as messy and maybe swing which is highly messy. So basically I only like jazz elements, especially high energy elements (like in swing not smooth jazz) since the songs I hear those elements in are not messy and clear in their melody. Even the Lofi swing playlist I listen to for studying irks me a bit with some of the songs because it sounds jumbled in some bits of the songs. Didn’t know it was intentional until researching.
@@georgaseebalack6003 Apparently Jazz is a very diverse genre. I guess it's normal to get a bit angry when you don't understand something at first. Like you I've been listening to more Jazz and I'm starting to like it more and more but I prefer certain subgenres. For example, I liked Marcus Miller who plays an electric guitar. He's a bit more coherent and his performance gives me high energy vibes. I can't put my finger on it yet as to why I like it but it sounds a bit like a foreign language, in terms of how instruments in a song speak if you will. It's also very relaxing and unfatiguing to listen to for hours and I have noticed that it takes a lot of mental energy to process regular songs with vocals now because you also have to interpret lyrics and and not always you can relate to the same old trite stories. Great as background music too when you're studying or working!
Cas Perry yes that is true. I guess the more we discover the more we understand and perhaps fall in love with the genre or sub genres. Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that it takes energy from me to listen to music with vocals especially cuz I will sing to them or pay attention to the lyrics. That’s why I have that jazz swing playlist for studying.
mmmmm...well I will have to say that call and answer comes from african traditions wayyyy before the Jazz era and was adapted by the "church" . I dont think the church music can take credit for call and answer. That POV comes from someone that has only a limited perspective of music history or is trying to piggy back on something for some reason or other. Also ...the word "America" --- That is a continent. Not a country. This smacks of nationalism and false patriotism. Jingoistic hog wash. If you think improvisation in music started in the USA then you basically don't know anything about music. The end.
And I hate the fact they are trying to say things like "Oh, it American thing, its African American culture (originated), and equality and things Blah Blah Blah..." They are just embarrassing themself and trying to narrow things down. NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE POLITICAL! And by saying that, where should I put Chinese and Japanese jazz band who also has their own styles? Like they are just not qualified as "Jazz enough" automatically because they are not American? F U American culture.
@@blatancyproductions8246 Lol, how are you mad over the fact that Jazz comes from black Americans? It's a historical fact. I mean you can find different versions of pizza all over the world, but pizza is still of italian origin. Same thing with Jazz it will always be of black American origin lol.
@@Sweet-Rat-Milk I’m just tired of the African American-themed activity/movement, they have their point but now in school in northwestern America, everyone is doing their “black pride” stuff and it is painful to watch and pretend to participate as a minority here (as a Chinese)… I know the tragedy and hardship some African Americans have experienced, namely the early origin of the jazz and how famous musicians treated by police in 60s; but at this point, I don’t really care, I’m tired about giving extra care to the morbid relationship between different colored but to focus on the music itself, especially when this video showed up in the second day of my music-making class and all I want to do is create Mario kart music. See, the video is speaking more than it’s origin I’m sorry for my irresponsible comment, maybe every art has some thing to do with politics, maybe it represent some symbol that supposed to change the world, maybe it belongs something bigger than I am; but the all I want to do with my music is to make it sounds cool, and sometimes it may represent oppression or domination, and sometimes piece and tranquility… I don’t care. I’m okey if you’re telling me that I should slow down the tempo or play more in sync, but in terms making music, nothing more. Once again, I recognize it’s origin, it’s back story in 20th century, which gives the weight to listening classic jazz albums, and I’m still that pissed student

爵士乐是什么？我看完视频，总结一下：美国的音乐！美国特定年代产生的一种音乐风格（体裁）。两个关键要素：娱乐和即兴！娱乐，从娱乐而生！即兴，爵士乐的生命之源。它不仅仅表达音乐本身，更多的在表达自由、冒险、文化、多样性、创兴、创造性、合作（包容性）等一切美国的文化价值观。这些都是意识形态上的东西，音乐本体呢？音乐本身的技法特征呢？因为即兴，所以没有办法规定那一整套类似古典音乐风格的技法特点。
