    The best thing that could happen to jazz would be a Ken Burns series on the Great American Songbook. A composer each week. Berlin to Van Heusens--a bunch of Jewish guys excepting Duke and Cole. A symbiotic relation to jazz, those songs allow us to measure the distance from Hawk to Stitt to Trane to Dexter (Body and Soul)) or a common language (Gershwin's I Got Rhythm). to jam on.

    • @J3unG
      @J3unG 3 роки тому

      The Great American Songbook is what is fucking wrong with jazz. You are being stuck to these old motherfucking tunes and not creating anything substantially different to what are essentially pop tunes from a bygone era. It's annoying.

      @@J3unG Only someone who didn't understand jazz would write that. The traditional songbook provides jazz musicians with a common anthology of chord patterns, over which each musician improvises something different. Not only are individual players unique, but different generations and styles each leave their characteristic marks by introducing or making popular new scales, modes, voicings, melodic and rhythmic ideas into jazz. The early bop musicians don't sound like the improvisors of the 30s, the great musicians who followed them don't sound like early bop, and so on. It is one of the great pleasures of jazz, and highly instructive of the development, to be able to listen to Coleman Hawkins, Bird and Diz, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, and Brad Mehldau, each play All the Things You Are or Rhythm changes, each in their own style. And what are you going to say about blues? That no one should play it because it's "old"? Meanwhile, new compositions are being written all the time, but unlike classical music and other genres with set pieces, jazz is improvisational, so we hear something novel and unique EVERY time a good musician plays a standard or a blues.

    For somebody who is supposed to be the new great Jazz piano player, I was not convinced. He plays all over the tune but never really swung through the changes, he really just played on the intro changes. He is using the Cedar Walton's hits from the Eastern Rebellion album for the head arrangement. I think that Christian Sands blows Sullivan away. Christian is a great younger 'straight ahead' Jazz pianist who shreds the changes on the level of Oscar Peterson or Benny Green.
