My dad's (who loves jazz) study was next to my bedroom so I felt asleep with Mahalia Jackson, Big Bill Broonzy, Modern Jazz Quartet, Toots (fellow Belgian), Albert Mangelsdorf, and so on. When discovering music myself I used jazz as a gateway to blues, then heavy rock, then prog and punk and so on - once you discover everything is connected the journey is endless!
Your why for Jazz is the same reason I got into Hindustani Classical Music. And I had a very similar experience to Adam of watching a performance with dialogue and understanding there was something deeper to communicating through music.
My Dad played the guitar, and he would whistle melodies like Toots (could get that high, too). Jazz was the music we listened to. Well, that's my two-and-two.
Dont know how to play jazz, dont understand it, but I love it so much. Dont know why I love this music that I cannot play, and I could only understand very little.
You probably do understand at least a part of it. My dad lived it because it made him feel good. I got into jazz when I was in 5th grade after hearing for a long time on the radio or on the record player. I didn’t understand it but it sounded good. I’m still learning about jazz 50 years later. Check out You’ll Hear It with Peter Martin and Adam Mennis on UA-cam.
It’s hard to explain jazz to people who don’t have an ear for it or haven’t really immersed themselves in a lot of different types of music. It’s like trying to explain another language to someone who hasn’t ever been around anyone besides their own culture or home language. You really have to experience Jazz, and not just straight ahead Jazz which is basically the blues, which is kinda what this conversation is about. I find more exploratory/experimental Jazz, free jazz, world and avant-garde jazz more deeper and connecting to the source of human experience and communication.
Sorry you guys : (. R U doing some drugs ? It 's just one of so many languages in this World : ). Like Miles once said " It's all Blues " Have some fun.: ) Peas always
if jazz sounded more like extreme death metal or black metal, i would like jazz much more. i just can't stand the sound of clean guitar, its so boring, no matter you do with it
Well, you definately enjoy the timbre of distorted guitars. Hell, what am I talking about, I like metal too. Big fun of meshuggah, Mirar and mastodon, meybe even some djenty stuff. but you have to focus on the other aspects aswell, the harmony and melody aspects aspecially. the sound is as clean as possible to get you to focus on everything else.
Great conversation. I love a quote I heard from drummer Joe Farnsworth "you've gotta play in the music, not at the music"
This video taught me more about jazz than anything else ever has. I think I actually understand what it means to play jazz.

Toots Thilemann, the great harmonica player?

I was waiting for eye to eye staring in the blues jam

Great series 🤍🇿🇦

You love it because you have the most important thing any musician or music lover must have, an ear.
@@bobtaylor170 True. But there must be something else because not everyone who has a musical ear likes or appreciates jazz.
all of your answers are true for every style of music
I would pay good money to listen to you 2 play as a duet like this. I propose (and assign all rights associated with this idea): “Jazz Duplex”
Regarding looking at the other players: Watch Emmet comping. He even sits toward the band at the piano.

PEOPLE AREN'T BACKING TRACKS!
That resonates so much👍！
The real answer? Casio Rapman
why is there a comma in the video name?
Guys, please, don’t blow up the universe 🎉
You young people are too wise for Your years. I went into music for very much the same reasons.
kind of a sidenote but as someone with the name rotem hearing americans say my name is so weird
"you like jazz?"
Hal Galper and Mike Longo are the best jazz pedagogues
"Why'd I get into jazz?" It wasn't for the chicks. 🤪
Guys the info is so cool, but please just talk to each other and don't pay attention to the camera, it's weird.
Musicians play to audiences and speak to each other so not weird and perfectly natural as I see it.
first?
Yesss :)
7th?

I desagree
Adam Neely isn’t a jazz musician.
Why you mad?
Hes a master of Jazz and everything in between
Ryan Gosling…is that you…?
Who is Adam Neely's "partner"?
he hasn't told us so i don't think it's really our place to know
Its almost like you's are trying to waste peoples time so they don't get as good as you's rather than teach what yous know and we need to know
bla bla bla bla bla
c'mon, dude. lol
yeah a lot of waffling by these two jazz guys
