The Subject is Jazz - Cool - Part 1`

[thetradeal]

best of the best of the jazz and two peoples like Lady Gaga Justin Bibier........and others shits,lol

[JazzVideoGuy]

@thetradeal You can't compare this music to today's pop music.  Apples and oranges.

[aarfeld]

Billy Taylor is such a young man here that I didn't recognize him at first. Then, as later in life, he was such a concise spokesman for this great art form.

[1994ard]

what a cool prog. :)

[peerschmidtke]

This is breathtaking! I think, these guys didn´t know how good they really were!

[diegoescolochog]

I had no idea that once upon a time there was a TV show about Jazz!

Found it because I was reading about Billy Taylors death. :(

Rest in Peace

[dolfofoster]

Precisamos de mais iniciativas como essa, em televisões do mundo todo, num empreendimento que valorize o que nós temos de desenvolvimentos virtuosos da cultura.

[fromthesidelines]

This was part of a daily series of rotating programs that was produced by National Educational Television for classroom use in 1957-'58, in cooperation with NBC, who provided them to their affiliates for airing at 5pm(et). "THE SUBJECT IS JAZZ" originally aired on Friday afternoons, I believe...

[cavaleer]

Who gives a fuk about what the fag-azz French think of American music? Please. They didn't and don't have a clue about why Americans create the music we create. The concept is insulting.

[maxbernat]

@cavaleer, please, try to be a little more thoughtful, mon cher.

[cavaleer]

@maxbernat You'll forgive my frustration, borderline anger at this "situation" but it's offensive, even if it's not intended to be. For someone, anyone, to be able to "criticize" a cultural product, that person needs to spend an enormous amount of time INSIDE the culture. How can you even discuss something, let alone critique it, if you don't even understand the muscular, mental realities that produced it? You can certainly like it or not but in no way are you qualified to critique it.

[cavaleer]

@maxbernat The concept would be as ridiculous as me, an American writing a critique of Chinese music or Kabuki theater.....ridiculous.

[pipotherium]

@cavaleer Implying jazz is purely American ?

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium Of course it is. lol What? You think it's Chinese or African? Come on bro, don't be stupid. Nothing like Jazz has ever appeared anywhere in the world. Nothing even vaguely similar to it, in part or whole. The fact that we used European instruments only makes the point even more clear and emphatic.

[pipotherium]

@cavaleer I am not denying that Jazz originates from the USA. All Im saying is that your comment "Who gives a fuk about what the fag-azz French think of American music" is preposterous and xenophobic. Are the likes Django Reinhardt, Jean-Luc Ponty, Pierre Michelot or Michel Legrand not qualified to talk about jazz music ?

As to innovation being an exclusively American trait... may the Baby Jesus open your mind ;-)

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium Ponty's one of my favorites. I listen to him everyday. He was inspired by Coltrane and Miles to play jazz instead of european classical.

While they have certainly studied our classics, I don't know that they really understand the American essence that gave birth to the music. However, they would have a much more informed opinion than a mere "critic." And what this "critic" said tells me he doesn't have much understanding of Americans.

[pipotherium]

@cavaleer Hahah... I've actually skipped the critic's part ;-)

Just focused on the music itself :-D

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium Hahaa, that's what I should've done. ;-) A bientot.

[pipotherium]

@cavaleer That's also why I didn't really get the meaning of your comment first.

Greetings from England ;-)

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium Cheers then..;-)

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium More importantly, it could only come from this soil, this culture and people. The emphasis on constant innovation and creation, on breaking boundaries and doing what other so-called "traditions" say shouldn't be done, and the emphasis on the individual and his creation within the framework of a broad but established foundation.....these are all classic American traits, things you can find in everything we do where we're not parroting something foreign.

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium And since you appear to be French, you know all too well the unique characteristics of things French, cultural products that would only come from French soil, from the French style and way of living, whether the subject is painting, Renoir or Monet, or philosophy, Descartes, Voltaire etc. or cheese.

For us, you see this national essence in other ways...look at a Frank Lloyd Wright or Louis Sullivan building. Read some Emerson or watch any of our sports. That's American.

[pipotherium]

@cavaleer I couldn't agree more.

Nevertheless I wouldn't reject American critiques/analyses of French art/philosophy as necessarily irrelevant or less valuable than 'native' ones (e.g. Quine or Searle on Derrida's work) .

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium As an American I think Derrida and Foucault are typically flimsy, full of shyt French philosophers. The only Frenchmen who have agreed with my American muscles are Voltaire and Comte. Sartre, Camus et al are miserable, wretched losers, or as Nietzsche would call them, "abortions". Very thoughtful, very introspective and sensitive but ultimately life-poor.

But perhaps I am missing something about the French soul, as exposed through them. Could be, could be.

[cavaleer]

@pipotherium And for the record, I speak French, not fluently but I studied it throughout high school and love speaking, enunciating the language itself. My teacher spoke with superb elocution and accent. And from my brief, though memorable experience with French women, their style is very palatable to my American muscles. Thus, xenophobic is hardly a word to describe me.

That doesn't mean I think I'm an authority on things French, whether wine or women. To think that would be disgraceful.

[lomalindajazz]

This is amazing. The explanations are understandable. Simply amazing.

[cyrus234]

does anyone have a catalog of this programme?? =]

[jazzisquitegood]

that arrangement of ladybird is so hip. plus warne blew my mind twice in this video...

[drworm77]

how do you spell the name of that first critic he sited? Henri Ouderr??? or something?

[mactimo]

@drworm77 Andre Hodier

[Arborwaychet]

Wow this cat Don Elliot was a beautiful player! Where can I find more of him?

[slyme1711]

Billy Taylor !! What a brilliant and articulate player and speaker. Thanks Video guy for this and all your other rediscovered gems.

[gljazzhead]

Thank you! Anything from this time is pure gold. Nice seeing don Elliot and mundell lowe. Riverside cats.

[newkbean]

turklejink:

I disagree. I love the sound of both their playing, though. Sometimes it's like they're playing the same instument! Good or bad in ensemble, could be discussed! They were great together BUT I don't think it's intuitive. Konitz is is a cool cat, certainly, and formed in the Tristano school as was Mr. Marsh.

Intuitive plying isn't something you learn it's directly from another source and few has it. If you add intuition and genius it's only a handful!

[turklejink]

I agree that intuitive playing comes from a higher source and is not explicitly taught. In both Lee and Warne's playing, I hear some of the most spontaneous and intuitive improvisation in recorded jazz. To my ears, these guys were not being guided by intellectual premeditation or learned methods but by inspiration and feeling in the moment. Perhaps you don't hear it this way...

[loren1283]

Personally Kontiz aproach seems more intelectual to me.

[claptonfan1000000]

I definately agree with you! I love this!

[orfu2003]

i wish they made television shows this good now.

[IrrepressibleGuile]

@orfu2003 I agree, theres something very refined and classy about this style of tv show

[turklejink]

Warne Marsh - the most intuitive and profound improviser since Prez

[caroljm36]

ehh, nice but so...academic. Give me a bar with clinking glasses and smoke anytime.

[claptonfan1000000]

Are all of these available on cd? I have "Move" and "Subconcious Lee" on a cd called "Move" but I love the other ones and would like to have them on a cd. Does anyone know if they are available somehow?

[SWsthia]

LINDOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[skittlez10672]

who was playing the tenor?

[bluenote71]

Warne Marsh, now considered a legend.

[skittlez10672]

oh ok i just didnt recognize him

[juancarrillo001]

i love the drums and the double bass..... fukking delicious sounds!

but the sax is smooth as butta'...... and the piano is just amazing... lol

i love it all

[acfinney]

Very unusual tone of the tenor sax. Disciplined is an understatement on these guys. I didn't catch one bad note. I have to say, that I like Paul Desmond's playing better than Lee's

[examinfo]

I like jazz guitar, but fusion i guess.I dont know how to describe it.Like a jazz/psychedelic mix.I only know when i hear it i guess.

[examinfo]

I am new to jazz,I just started taking history of jazz this january.I am in LOVE to say the least.I heard this guy stanley jordan,man!!!!! I cant even listen to regular radio now.Can you help me find the best jazz music,i really want to get deeper into it.

[johncoltraneisgod]

what kind of stuff are you looking for?

[claptonfan1000000]

This video is an example of GREAT jazz music!

Listen to Warne Marshes solo on Godchild, 3:23!

So relaxed so complex! This drummer is great, Bass player is great, my god is Billy Taylor great!

The recordings they play in this video they're all great.

Check out "The New Tristano" and "Release Record, Send Tape". Those two albums are themselfs great books of jazz, but not letters on paper, but notes on a record!

Thats what I think! :)

[adawg1789]

"release record, send tape" is easily one of the most fascinating jazz cds ever recorded

[claptonfan1000000]

Yeah!

[claptonfan1000000]

Paul Desmonds great! But have you heard Lee from 1949-1953? I think that's his greatest. If you don't have it buy "Subconcious Lee" Prestige 7004! Lee's great on that! :)

[adawg1789]

Oh for sure, its incredible! There's really nothing like that era of lee. That said, what he does now is pretty amazing too
