Jazz for aficionados
I see you put a smile in the text so I am assuming your being sarcastic about ancient tribal people on the Asian Continent being the root of jazz. I hope my assumption is correct... Anyway here are some tunes I know you will dig.... (1) Art Pepper Quartet (May 9, 1964) - Jazz Casual - YouTube (1) Frank Morgan Quartet performing LULLABY by George Cables. - YouTube (1) Dave Brubeck Trio spec. Guest Paul Desmond & Gerry Mulligan all the things you are - YouTube |
You are right and wrong about my post at the same time ...😊 It was a joke about three great artists i know about but i come here and in the classical thread to spoke about music...I did not know where to recommend them... Anybody know that jazz is born in America inheriting from black musicians ... Then there is no sarcasm about the real roots of jazz nor against asia... I read one day the history of a kazz musician who go back in Africa to rediscover his roots... this black american musician play some jazz to the Africans musicians... One of them say listening some jazz, it does not "roll"... Listening some other jazz pieces he said this time it "roll"... This surprized the american black jazzman but he begin to understand something about the universality of music... It "roll" or not...being it american jazz or african music or asian music... I assume that rolling mean a perfect spontaneous improvised integration between the beat,rythm,melody, harmony and the moving body of the players... For example this yoruba drumming "roll"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfnERafje58
jazz is universal as "rolling" is... This does not negate the black musicians geniuses who created it... Nor the asian one who "Jazz" in their own way... I like any style or genre when it "roll"... The Chopin mazurka are very difficult to play by a pianist... Very few are able to make these dances "rolling"...This one can... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLi2uwGOYBg&t=43s I love Chet Baker and sax Sadao Watanabe and Coleman Hawkins for example because it "roll" not because it is jazz : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO2RWWqZqOc
