People who normally Don't listen to jazz aren’t suppose to know any jazz singer besides frank..but there are a lot of legendary jazz singers out there..my favourites are ella, nat king,sarah,chet baker,duke and so on...i usually listen to jazz because it calms me down and helps me deal with my anxieties
as a drummer.... when i play jazz, i just do whatever the fuck i want, as long as im making a face like i know what im doing.......... so far no one has said a thing.....
There is so much awesome vocal jazz! Hell, some of the best players ever also sang sometimes. Chet Baker put out an entire album just of his vocal takes and it's still incredibly influential on how vocals are presented in modern jazz
Anthropology was the first Charlie Parker song I learned on saxophone and it was stuck in my head for months. And I love Ella Fitzgerald and Louise Armstrong
also jazz is a super diverse genre that doesn't get a lot of radio airtime, so if the one or two records you check out didn't do it for you, you might write the genre off. I didn't really click with jazz until I discovered hard bop, and listening to hard bop records gave me the context to make sense of the fusion and cool jazz records that I'd bounced off before.
I have recently gone down the Jazz rabbit hole after years of just blues and rock. Wow, it is very deep and layers but it is making me understand scales and soloing in a whole new light. I really am loving jazz chords as I find it strengthens my fingers and endurance which helps with improvising.
Id recommend Lanquidity by Sun Ra for the people that feel this way. I think its the perfect blend of occasionally getting "out there" with catchy melodys
I love jazz… I can appreciate a lot as a musician (bass clarinet, tenor sax, bass guitar) and honestly I think my appreciation for jazz at least builds off of my love for metal, especially tech-death, where the vocals don’t really matter as much and are kind of just another instrument, so instrumental stuff I’m fine with
It's the way they play the "Wrong" notes!! Time is an element, too. BTW, Tony Bennet, Ella Fitzgerald It's early in the mornin & I'm on my First Cup, But there are a few more GREAT Jazz Singers whos names escape me!! Anyway, Love your Instructional video shorts & I subscribed!!
Ngl havent met a single jazz hater...jazz is so beautiful Its so nice to listent to, sometimes very eccentric, but definitely calming and it sounds posh and elegant Idk whoever hates jazz is weird
Like they say, if you can’t sing it, you can’t swing it, and you got to be able to express your ideas and take in what you’re hearing to really appreciate jazz. People think it’s super complicated, but being around musicians and listening to jazz a lot gave me a good ear, so even if I don’t exactly know what I’m doing, I can still express myself in musical complex ideas. Of course though, I’m gonna have to move on from that eventually if I want to really improve, and I’ve already started but I’m still not really there. Like I know some theory but I can’t recognize key signatures immediately, tell you what the number of a chord is without having to visualize a piano and count it in my head, or tell you what the cool idea I’m thinking of really theoretically is, how I’m creating a tension and release within each chord phrase. It’s a work in progress though.
As a Trombone player who started jazz band last year in 7th grade and loves metal and rock, Jazz is actually pretty cool There was this one song we played called "Scat Cat" and IT WAS CATCHY everyday after school I had it stuck in my head sometimes during school the song was bomb,can't wait for 8th grade ✌️ - Random 13 year old 2023
I get jazz melodies stuck in my head, sometimes after 1st listen. Usually only part of a track but it's better than when I get an entire pop song I don't like stuck in there.
I don’t understand how anyone can hate jazz. I don’t know a lot of jazz singers but I kinda wanna be one. I mostly write indie-pop type stuff but jazz is just so fun and cozy and I wanna learn how to play more jazz stuff.
This video explains why I love jazz, I don’t really care about vocals unless the song has good music with it, the repetition and simplicity of pop songs kinda gets boring (especially when they all use the same 3 instruments), and the more complex a song is, the more I can listen to it and discover new parts that I haven’t heard before
If you’re interested in jazz but you like rock sounding guitars then you should listen to jazz fusion. Jazz fusion tends to be jazz using more rock sounding instruments. Its some of the best music you will hear. Mahavishnu orchestra, frank zappa and return to forever are some of the best bands and they are all jazz fusion
I can appreciate the complexity of jazz, but you'll never catch me actually listening to it and enjoying it. I do like it when musicians incorporate some jazz influenced stuff into other genres(Between The Buried And Me is a good example) but jazz on its own isn't even on my radar.
I actually think its because jazz rhythm sections sound so different to rock/pop. People just dont physically connect to music with swing anymore. I find it funny that people forget that jazz is eminently danceable genre and think that jazz is just sitting around and contemplating harmony.
First names that come to mind when it comes to Jazz singers: Frank Sinatra. Dean Martin. Sami Davis Jr. Etta James Billy Holliday. Nina Simon. Nat King Coal x
I tried to appreciate it when I was younger. I appreciate it less now, the older I get the more hard rock and metal I listen to. I think that is the opposite way that you are supposed to go.
You're just not familiar with the style so appreciating is not as immediate. Outside of the more out there stuff, a lot of jazz solos are actually more structured than you'd first realise. With bebop solos especially, there's a general expectation that your solo should express the chords of the song. This makes the overall structure of a jazz solo a lot less random than a lot of rock and metal solos.
I resented my friends in my 20s who liked Jazz. I just couldn't understand it. It was annoying and unpredictable. Now, 20 years later and with some understanding of music theory with me, I can finally appreciate Jazz. I guess I just can't enjoy things I cannot understand. 😢
Part of the story of how bebop was created is from the legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Christian, Miles Davis, etc. They got sick and tired of how the "other" Americans were stealing concepts from Blues, R&B, Gospel, etc. So this inspired them to create a form of jazz that would be hard to copy. NOW THAT'S GENIUS !!!!!
I am a jazz student and thinking of singers (at 4 am mind you) I could only think of Sinatra Fitzgerald Shannon butcher Antonio Carlos Jobim (he has a few where he sings) Louis Armstrong Ray Charles Seth Macfarlane I am disappointed in myself. (Maybe pat metheny too, I think he sang in some songs but I don’t remember for sure)
Dude. I just got my first computer and recording equipment set up. Its nth fancy but works. But. All ive learned is that i still suck, but with more equipment. Just better equiped suckage.
Very few people will say they hate Badu... Also there is a lot of modern jazz, so that example was kinda old. People don't realize they hear jazz everywhere... People dont hate Jazz, they are just afraid they dont know where it starts or ends, its fear not hate.
I don't think Sinatra is a "jazz" singer, per se. Some musicians are wary of vocalists for the reason you mentioned: it can, among other things, de emphasize the ensemble of a group of musicians and turns them in to a backing band for the vocals. You didn't mention Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Johnny Hartman, Mel Torme, Billie Htoliday (a big influence on Sinatra), Chet Baker, and on and on. A good musician has an open mind and ears. A good listener should do the same.
Jazz does have some good vocalist, Ella Fitzgerald, Satchamo, Stevie wonder, Chet Baker, all great musicians, but even some jazz artist without vocals are amazing, count Basie, Glenn miller, duke ellington, the list could go on with amazing jazz musicians
I studied and played jazz bass for a long time and I have come to dislike playing and listening to it. I respect the genre and understand why it is loved but I can’t stand it anymore. I’m tired of musicians purposely trying to be vague, playing the equivalent of word vomit on their solos and this music doesn’t lend itself to hyping up audiences which is what I like. I like grooving more and watching people dance. I am more entrenched in playing salsa and Latin music and appreciate jazz for teaching me a lot of music but besides the blues, I’m over it. It’s too self fulfilling.
Jazz isn't dead. Jazz is dead to music media but it sure isnt dead out in the world. Go out and support your local musicians! Lots of talent everywhere, it's just not recognized and labeled as such for us.
Even jazz players don't know that many jazz singers. I mean I know Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, and maybe Marini Naianggolan if you count modern Indonesian singer
I don't like modern jazz for other reasons, I think that real jazz was killed by it's institutionalization, at first, jazz players would break social rules, during the prohibition era, they were seen so poorly they often had to play in illegal establishments. But with institutionalization, Jazz became one if not the genre with the most rules and codes, original Jazz musicians (like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald etc...) were often self taught musicians and most likely did not know music theory. I like Jazz, but I just can't listen to a 25 minutes long piece with no lyrics and then be expected to say that it is somehow superior to pop/rock. In fact even as a guitar player I find Jazz unenjoyable, you can't even understand it unless you've studied it for 4 years, and I think that music shouldn't be "understood" but rather make you move and feel something (=/= playing slow, just listen to Gary Moore, SRV, Jimi Hendrix, there's shredding and it has feel), whereas Jazz pieces havebto be understood rather than be enjoyed and felt. Thank you for reading my comment I wrote a whole novel here, please tell me what you think do you agree or not and why ?
I feel like if you think jazz is only understood and not felt you haven't gotten the whole picture yet. Jazz is the only kind of music that can get me off my feet and make me want to start dancing in the middle of the work day. The track Unit 7 from Wes Montgomery's Smokin at the Half Note. Oh my God that recording. The way Wes transitions to the bridge during his last octave solo makes my soul want to leap out of my body. I think the problem is actually the lack of really amazing jazz guitar players that can both swing and be super melodic in a band setting. There are definetly a long list of great jazz guitar soloists but it's not as extensive as sax or trumpet
Cool and all but dude most of the jazz Tunes in the real book have lyrics, MOST of them, bro jazz is very digestible hence why there's jazz bands on restaurants and clubs, anthropology is a specific tune in a specific period that lasted 5 years!! And no, not most of ppl hear randomness, they hear some kind of chord progression linked with a melody and climax! randomness in music is also very specific!
people say they don’t like jazz because they are pretentious and scared of different music, not because it’s easy to play. some of my favorite jazz albums are journey is satchidananda by alice coltrane and get up with it by miles davis, along with kind of blue

People hate jazz?
My issue with jazz is, I can't just play minor pentatonic licks only and pretend I'm a good guitar player after learning nothing else in 15+ years
sure you can, just play minorpentatonic from 3rd or 5th pf the chord
Bro what have u been doing for 15 years lol.
You can still take that minor pentatonic and make it sound jazz. Listen to some Kenny Burrel
Whatever major key it's in, just play the relative minor.
Jazz players play 3,000 chords to an audience of 3
Rockers play 3 chords to an audience of 3,000
I didn't believe this statement before I began going to jazz concerts
Now its scary for me how real this is
and they're both addicted to heroin

This is the only informed take I've read so far. ❤
Just search Acid jazz youll find the most catchy songs ever ❤
It is so good! I'm sure a lot of people discovered it through Persona 5. Japanese music seems to implement a lot of Jazz in its music.
Play the wrong note once it’s a mistake, play the wrong note twice and it’s jazz.

Ray Charles
Seth Macfarlane

Eric Dolphy is the best example of "wrong notes", their contemporaries said "too out to be in, but too in to be out"
Yes Eric Dolphin! Also,Thelonious Monk is a badass with “wrong notes!”

I studied and played jazz for a long time and I have come to dislike playing and listening to it. I respect the genre and understand why it is loved but I can’t stand it anymore. I’m tired of musicians purposely trying to be vague, playing the equivalent of word vomit on their solos and this music doesn’t lend itself to hyping up audiences which is what I like. I am more entrenched in playing salsa and Latin music and appreciate jazz for teaching me a lot of music but besides the blues, I’m over it. It’s too self fulfilling
Nat king Cole, louis Armstrong, dean Martin, Seth MacFarlane, tony Bennet,
James brown, etc
