It was delightful to hear John Williams mention the great Joe Pass. Both giants.
Thank you for parts 1 & 2.
Marcelo Kayath is an amazing player; his renditions of South American guitar classics are noteworthy.
Thank you John Williams for not only being a superb musician, but for being an open and thoughtful world citizen. I could listen to a few more hours of his stories! Like his guitar playing, his stories are animated, entertaining, and yet full of substance. Bravo, John! Bravo!
Couldn't agree more - we need 'thoughtful world citizens' now more than ever.
John Williams is an amazing and high-quality human being.
I worked for European Nuclear DIsarmament in the early 80s. We asked John Williams to play a benefit concert for us. He not only agreed willingly but took on the organization of the concert himself and filled the Wigmore Hall for us. So when he says he's a thoughtful world citizen, he doesn't just talk the talk he walks the walk. Thanks again for that!
Raramente vi uma entrevista envolvendo tanta sinceridade e profundo conhecimento da música.
Credit to the presenter/s asking relevant and valid questions and allowing JW to answer without interrupting
Very useful presentation thank you 🙏
John Williams,I pay the greatest respect to Him.
An honest, humble ,brilliant genius, who was the epitome of perfection during our learning years growing up. Thank you sir
Awesome interview, wish we had these kinds of interviews for all the great guitarists!
Thanks for uploading this!
I wish he still did recitals...
This is a treasure house of valuable information from one of my favorite guitarists (the others being, Julian Bream and Django Reinhardt), John Williams, as well as the gentlemen posing the questions. This is so much more satisfying, being welcome to ease drop on the "other stuff" that interests and has influenced John W. over the years, and his take on the way in which he experienced it. Great stuff! Thank you so much.
Parabéns aos organizadores desta entrevista com o maestro John Williams. Sendo uma das personalidades mais importantes do violão no século XX sua opinião nos diversos assuntos abordados tem peso significativo. Destaco a importância que o maestro atribui à improvisação e a composição. Infelizmente esta prática foi abolida da formação de instrumentistas e cantores dentro e fora das universidades, mas que no entanto era atividade comum entre os violonistas (guitarristas) e alaudistas do passado.
De especial relevância em seus comentários é o respeito e reconhecimento do valor dos intérpretes e pesquisadores de Música Antiga. Seria proveitoso que os violonistas dentro e fora do Brasil seguissem este exemplo e buscassem se ilustrar nesta área do conhecimento, pois nada tem a perder e sim muito a ganhar.
Parabéns Kayath pela entrevista.
So weird to hear people and John Williams talk about music like it’s just an historic and intellectual phenomenon. I felt like the whole mystic and emotional part of music that tries to fill the gap between existential questions and answers was hardly discussed. John Williams is one of my favorite guitarist btw.
entrevista incrível, só fiquei um pouco decepcionado porque John não falou sobre Barrios, um dos meus favoritos... mas à parte disso uma grande contribuição pro youtube violonístico
Falou sobre Barrios, sim. Inclusive lhe foi perguntado sobre os riscos que corria gravando Barrios, desconhecido na Europa.
El Gran Jefe John Williams
I think the comments here about jazz improvisation could be a bit misleading. I don't think Mr. Williams intended to imply that all jazz players are really just improvising until they arrive at a way they like to play a solo and then just stick with that once they have found it. Some players do that, and others will tend to rely on a lot of ideas that they have arrived at previously through practice performing and then work those in various ways, over and over again. But there are some players who attempt to eschew predetermined patterns and ideas as much as possible, and try to create a completely unique solo every time they perform, which is very hard to do and carries a lot of risk, but that is really the ultimate when it happens successfully. Even while the basic harmony of a tune might still be in effect, they may also reharmonize the tune at certain points, on the fly. There is also Free Jazz, which tries to avoid any predetermined ideas of harmony, rhythm or melody.
Agree, probably his references are more inclined to early jazz and swing era, where there was indeed a lot of composition involved in the solos, that way of aproaching jazz took a split til modern styles like modal jazz, free jazz and so on. Also i find the interviewer coment "a lot of jazz improvising is all about patterns and motives..." a little bit shallow and simplistic.
@@manuelfelipe7939 , I think saying a lot of jazz improvising is all about patterns and motives is going too far. Certainly, it can be that way for some improvisers. And even many of the greats had their own pet phrases, patterns and licks that they would use and adapt often, especially on the blues. But it is wrong to give the impression that jazz improvisation is just stringing together a bunch of learned licks and other patterns.
The thumbnail for this made me think JW had taken up ciggies.
lol me too
It's not a big deal but just wondering why this part 2 has no 1080p option ??
