Jazz music is about life. I think many people see a jazz video and wonder to themselves do I like Jazz and then move on. I once met Miles Davis when I was a kid and it changed my life. If I may make a suggestions short clips are helpful to get more people to watch. Jazz like Miles Davis said isn’t just about Jazz, but it’s social music because of it’s impact on our thinking and feelings not to mention it’s influence on other styles of music. Miles Davis I think probably more than anybody knew this. What I suggest is to tell us more about your story as well as other people’s. Thanks - 😊 Best regards 👏🏻👏🏻
Love your videos Bret. If it wasn't for you, many of these films and interviews would not be seen or in many cases, would never have happened. I thank you deeply for your efforts. Hopefully, we can hit your goals for viewership in the coming months.
Hang up your hang ups is one of my favorite tunes. Herbie Hancock and his music are a strong force. Jazz video guy has been a presence since I joined the UA-cam community. Best of luck on the positive endeavor to work the algorithm that currently plagues the platform.
As a long time bassist, you are a great resource for younger musicians who are looking for "real deal" jazz content on the web. I've been trying to spread the word about your channel! Thanx for what you do!
I am a Musician myself who is a "Lover" of Jazz. What you have done for me and so many others is incredible by posting these wonderful Jazz Videos! Thank you again!
I've been a fan/subscriber of your channel for several years. In recent days I've been doing the little "dance" you've taught us i.e., search, click, watch the whole video, like and comment. Sometimes I forget to "search" because the videos are suggested by the almighty algorithm. I'll try to teach a few of my friends this "dance" too.
Your channel is fantastic...It would be a crime if it disappears from UA-cam. You are better than an antidepressive médecine. You make my heart happy and you open a window to refresh my mind. No te des por vencido hermano... estoy junto a ti como miles de personas... Venceremos. Fuerte abrazo desde Francia Vidal Rojas ✨🎶🎵❤️
Bret - Hey I’m sorry I haven’t been watching because I thought you were done. I just now realized you’re still putting out new content, not just reruns. I’d been watching and “liking” for quite a while, but will now do what I don’t often do on YT - subscribe. I want your channel to survive!
@@JazzVideoGuy I'd love to. Unfortunately, in our current world, it can be difficult. I wanted to make the point to your viewers that if any ads appear, your channel won't get any money if they skip over them. A lot of people who watch UA-cam but don't make videos don't know that.
I’m here. I appreciate all you give. I worked at tower records jazz department where we were forced to listen to kenny g..for sales… i rebelled…so I made my music not really bothered if anyone checked it out. But I noticed I haven’t done anything in a year.. because being seen and heard matters I guess…. Just want to say..I’d prefer your stuff to kenny g…
I've been following you for quite a bit now, but I'm baffled by the fact that your videos haven't been getting as much attention as they should. You put a ton of work into the material. I consume all types of media on UA-cam, but your work is the type of stuff that should be at the forefront! Informative, but entertaining! You just can't beat that. I thank God for your stuff, and it's great to hear that you're enjoying life regardless of the situation! Incredible shirt, by the way! I immediately thought of Ramsey Lewis' "Tequila Mockingbird" and "Mother Nature's Son." Keep Jazz Visible!
@@JazzVideoGuy where did you get that hat 🤔 hi 🙋♂️😁from Abu Dhabi & PLZ JUST KEEP ON GOING ‼️‼️‼️‼️ don't let the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ get you ⬇️ YOU ARE ALREADY A WINNER 💯%👍💓👍💎👍 in Jesus's MIGHTY name & His Peace BE WITH you too
To me this is about sustaining music and culture in general that isn’t just the crap the “entertainment” corporations put out. I noticed the other day that a video of an Argentinian woman playing Bach on the lute had over a million views. There’s a hunger for the good stuff out there.
Thank you for your work and dedication. Jazz is OFTEN thankless these days as a young musician and your documentaries are very interesting to the enlightened ones
Dear Bret, your stuff keeps showing on my feed and I keep watching and liking. I am already a subscriber for a long time. Should I do the “search for Jazz Video Guy” thing anyway? I’d do it if it helps, just was curious. Thanks for being the Jazz Video Guy!
@@JazzVideoGuy sounds good! I say this about Instagram because i follow so many musicians there and they post practically everyday which would be cool if you got caught in their threads 🙏🏾🥊💞🥊💯
@@JazzVideoGuy Yeah he is but if someone in the community could reach out to him it would be cool for him to interview you! I don't have any contacts but will keep eyes and ears open!
But I know you want to get in the algorithm but do know that you have very loyal vieuwers is you ever get tired from this toxic system of moving up. Good luck

Appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts. Yes, more shorties coming soon. But I'm a one man band here, so your patience is needed.
Thanks, always in your corner.
As a middle schooler, Herbie was the one who took a soul music listener, into the learning and loving Jazz
Love your videos Bret. If it wasn't for you, many of these films and interviews would not be seen or in many cases, would never have happened. I thank you deeply for your efforts. Hopefully, we can hit your goals for viewership in the coming months.
I'm always here to support Jazz Video Guy
likewise!

I'm a huge Herbie Hancock fan and have been for over 50 years!
Keep up the good work, the jazz community will come together to keep the music alive on your channel 😉
I welcome their support

Thank you for all these videos, we were dreaming to watch them

Love your channel. It’s been the main resource for 15 years!
Here's to the next 15!

Excellent.
Hang in there Brett! I’m looking forward to your most recent releases and tuning in to your older videos.
Good to hear
Love Herbie Hancock! Thanks!
Me, too. Some great Herbie coming up.
This is a great resource, Bret. I’m hanging up my hang ups and looking forward to this Chanel expanding and staying visible.
Good thoughts
UA-cam jazz without the jazz video guy wouldn't be the same
Hang in there! Jazz lives
Jazz Video Guy Lives!
Brett, You are a gift. Thank you for supporting the music and highlighting so many deserving musicians. Much respect and appreciation!
Wow, thank you!
Keep it up Bret! You are putting up great contect week after week - videos that generations will benefit from. Viva jazz video guy!
Love Herbie!
you and me both

It's not going to disappear. I won't let that happen.

Appreciate your support and we will move on from this algorithmic tragedy
One more thing: please don't skip the ads (if there are any).
Imagine a world without ads?
@@JazzVideoGuy I'd love to. Unfortunately, in our current world, it can be difficult. I wanted to make the point to your viewers that if any ads appear, your channel won't get any money if they skip over them. A lot of people who watch UA-cam but don't make videos don't know that.
Viewers should do as you ask, Brett, if only to honour your awesome shirt! Please keep going with all you do for jazz and it's family. Thank you
I appreciate that!
Have been a fan of yours for years!!! I'm doing everything I can to share your profile/content with friends in the little jazz group that I'm in!
Thanks so much Dexter!

You were forced to listen to Kenny G? A rather unique form of torture. Which Tower Records?
Thanks for the quality content.
Thanks for watching.
Your channel's a trove of good sounds, sights, and information which motivates and informs my hobby, playing music
I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you.
Cool watching Herbie jam out on acoustic piano !
He usually prefers his electric keyboards for jamming.
That's true!
Thank you for your great work!
That short Herbie clip was FIRE. Thanks!
herbie does that!

Hey, I'm baffled by a lot of things. UA-cam is a paradox wrapped in an enigma
i'am here to help you in all of you endeavours bret. and by the way, i love your shirt and your hat!
Muchas gracias!

There's a need for quality but sadly, it is not embraced by the new UA-cam algorithm.
Kool Herbie + Friends...
Herbie has some very talented friends.
Thanks, and good luck!
Coming here from reddit - hope everything goes as it should
hello Reddit!
Everything you do is quality. It helps to see musicians as three dimensional people.
I try! the journey continues.
Thanks!
Thank you for your work and dedication. Jazz is OFTEN thankless these days as a young musician and your documentaries are very interesting to the enlightened ones
thanks so much!
Its easy and I do it all the time!!
Thanks!
I really appreciate your work!!!!!
So nice of you
❤️❤️great videos and work - your fan , In madrid city spain - yes i am your follower 🙏👍
Awesome, muchas muchas gracias!
Keep it up
I'm trying!
Strength in numbers!
Yes, I'm hoping more people will step up and actually help me
Love this channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
awesome videos, a big thak you!
Great hat and shirt, Bret. And of course a great cause!
I'll pass on your compliment to my wardrobe stylist. Ooops, that's me!
Great video !
looking forward to new great jazz videos on you channel 🙂
stay tuned!
Love what you do! UA-cam is fucking up a lot of channels, between the algorithm and all the ads it’s becoming a drag.
UA-cam is a real pain, a paradox wrapped in an enigma
keep up
I AM!
Keep it going.
Hey man, you're doing great.
Thanks
Dear Bret, your stuff keeps showing on my feed and I keep watching and liking. I am already a subscriber for a long time. Should I do the “search for Jazz Video Guy” thing anyway? I’d do it if it helps, just was curious. Thanks for being the Jazz Video Guy!
yes, please search, like, comment, etc., as much as possible.
The JVG is the best 🎵😎🎷
why thank you!
Long live JVG!
Long live the JVG!
I certainly hope so, althought at 73, I'm a lot closer to the end than the beginning
Can you please post more on Instagram? Great youtube content, Bret 💞 i posted this seg on my Facebook and appreciate what you got going on FB too 🎶
I'd like to post on Instagram, but between UA-cam videos, UA-cam shorts, and Facebook, I'm doing all I can at this moment. But I will try.
@@JazzVideoGuy sounds good! I say this about Instagram because i follow so many musicians there and they post practically everyday which would be cool if you got caught in their threads 🙏🏾🥊💞🥊💯
Just Like every Video on the Channel, it costs nothing and it reinstalles the Algorithms.
ok
It sounds like you diagnosed the issues. It will take work to rehab it, but your doing well. Keep on it.
Fingers crossed!
Nice. Um. What instrument do you play actually? Just curious. I kiow this doesn’t have anything to do with the video.
Played the trumpet when I was a kid but sadly, didn't practice, otherwise I'd probably be a musician today.
That is a dynamite shirt!
You dig?
You should reach out to someone like Rick Beato his viewers would follow you! He has 3.3 million subs!
I've tried contacting him, but no response yet. He's a big shot now!
@@JazzVideoGuy Yeah he is but if someone in the community could reach out to him it would be cool for him to interview you! I don't have any contacts but will keep eyes and ears open!
But I know you want to get in the algorithm but do know that you have very loyal vieuwers is you ever get tired from this toxic system of moving up. Good luck
UA-cam is.......an enigma wrapped in a paradox.
Thanks!
You bet!
