About Me:
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 21 Million View Man
"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.
