Prohibited Beatz - PART TWO of five parts

This is PART TWO of five parts of a 34" documentary about master drummer Jojo Mayer, his Prohibited Beatz party, and the wrath of the New York City cabaret laws known as the "no dancing" laws. Watch all five parts for the whole movie, pass it on!

The original film was professionally mixed and has excellent sound quality, if you would like to be on the mailing list for screenings, or if you want to discuss the film, please email me at covelloj@hotmail.com

This film took about 2 years to create and was finished in 2002. More info is at www.djshakey.com/prohibitedbeatz. My name is Julie Covello and I am a dj and filmmaker.

@FaithIsAccidental Jazz is not dead, and IMO will never die because it is highly appreciated by multiple audiences and there are so many levels of expression in jazz, as well as funk or blues. The sad thing is, many musicians want money and fame, and thats what kills a genre. Any genre itself can be successful, but if the musicians behind it have alterior motives that crave money, fame, and drugs, they ultimately become their own enemy. THAT will not only kill the genre, but them as well.

3:01 Just because a genre isnt going through a movement does not mean its not artistic or necessarily dead.

[FaithIsAccidental]

Agreed. Jazz isn't dead at all. It hasn't gone mainstream and it hasn't turned into a "business", wtf. Turn on the radio and what do you hear these days, 90% of the time... pop.  Yeah heavy music is starting to go downhill too, but I wouldn't say Jazz is at all.

[Str8Faced]

really? I actually gained a lot of respect for him for saying that. He's being real.

[ChemicallAli]

I dont agree with him 100% but i see where he is coming from, everything has become commercialized, and a great example is the Jonas Brothers, anybody can go and play jazz, metal, pop and the reason is to make money, but i think there is still something pure in DJ and underground music, they arent there to make money, but to create music..... just my take,

Wow.... 5:45.... nice, hahaha.
