You've Got To Be Carefully Taught - John Pizzarelli & Impressions

[peterguit]

You look like fifteen! Lol

Love the little Sondheim moment -- "Children will listen" -- at the very end. So sweet: thanks for sneakiness!

I actually think the added verse takes a lot away from the song. "you've got to be taught to love all mankind' implies you would not normally love all mankind. The entire idea behind the rest of the song is that you have to be taught prejudices, fear, etc because people will accept others without being taught this. So if you have to be taught to love too are people naturally apathetic? I know thats likely not what was intended but the instructor needs to put more effort into interpreting lyrics.

I was looking for something a bit different and here it is...simply charming.

However, no one mentioned the additional verse added to the song to turn a negative into a positive. I think the words are perfect. Bravo!

John is one of the great jazz teachers who wants to encourage the younger generation - this is an excellent example. Thanks for the video!

This was an amazing show! He's such a funny guy. The VIP reception was fun too. Impressions did a great job! Love the song!

What a great show!! This song and the 20 minute version of "I like Jersey Best" were the highlights. What a funny and entertaining guy!!

I'm wishing Tom Shields hadn't missed this performance! I LOVE MHS Impressions! Go Jeff!

Pardon the lousy video technique, but I was being "sneaky". Turned out John was fine with it - shoulda just asked... Anyway, enjoy!
