And Coltrane showed everyone how saxophone can be played. So did Miles with trumpet. Sorry if I jumped ahead quickly.
The Evolution of Modern Jazz
Shadorne's thread "Outstanding Examples of Musicianship" inspired me to begin this thread. While Shadorne stated that all genre's were welcome, I felt that me and another jazz aficionado were beginning to dominate that thread. Shadorne is a "Rocker", bless his heart. This community functions best when like minded people engage in common dialogue.
The title explains this thread. We will use "youtube" the same as in Shardone's thread to illustrate our examples, and now I begin.
In the beginning, there was Charlie "Bird" Parker, and he said "Let there Be Bop" and thus it began. While walking down the street, Bird ran into John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie, who had similar ideas, so they "Bopped" down the street together; Bird on alto sax and Diz on trumpet. My first illustration of this new music is "Bloomdido" with Bird and Diz. We should cover "Be Bop" in depth before we go to the next phase of this evolution.

This is a "music" forum. Now, thanks to "youtube", we can use music to illustrate what ever it is we are trying to say about music. For example: I think John Coltrane "Blue Trane" is one of the best "jams" from the Hard Bop genre, and to prove my point; I invite you to click on "Blue Trane" by John Coltrane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpZHUVjQydI |
Grimmace, you made valid statements in regard to the origination of modern jazz; however, we've moved on to the next phase, which is "Hard Bop". There is much that can be debated in regard to the origination of jazz. The confusion arises when jazz and "modern jazz" are not seperated. If you began a thread designed to discus the origination of jazz, I would certainly engage and participate. |
