About Me:
 
Writer/Video Journalist Bret Primack has been at the forefront of new media since he co-founded Jazz Central Station in 1995. In 1997 he was the first Jazz blogger with Bird Lives, where, as the Pariah, his heartfelt diatribes struck a responsive chord in the music industry.

A graduate of NYU Film School who worked in documentaries and industrials, Bret returned to filmmaking in 2004 and began producing videos for Jazz musicians. When YouTube
debuted, he began posting as the Jazz Video Guy.

Today, his mission is simple: To keep Jazz from becoming invisible.

"The footage Primack has amassed represents a historic archive of Rollins seen working and reflecting on his work..." David Hadju - The New Republic

Today, people can jump on YouTube and watch John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster and Lester Young in a way never before possible.

Jazz is a global medium and there are people from all over the planet who are now active participants. We've gone from a small group of people controlling the music that's recorded, distributed and heard, to low-cost recording and free distribution on the web. Video has followed, with the advent of mini-DV technology and the ability to edit video on a computer. Fasten your seat belts, the best is yet to come.

"Excellent, well produced video. You'd get more views if you write a description for the YouTube search engine. "
