Look who bought his tap shoes it's grouch😅

STANLEY CROUCH dont know he is wearing a sweater that looks a lot similar to what BIGGIE SMALLS use to wear himself, lol

Stanley is astounding! How someone can be so informed and ignorant simultaneously is incredible!

70% of black children are born to a single mother today. So much for condoms being cool. Hip hop is mostly noise. Gun shots to be exact. Miss Piggy’s rap was horrible!

I never understood why black folks gets so much flack for participating in capitalism. and get the same flack when Martin Luther King talks about some socialist stuff he has to die. What do people want us to do?

41:05 Charlie Parker hurt his back in a car accident in the 30s. In the hospital, they gave him morphine for the pain. After his release, he got into smack to self-medicate. I don't think it could in any way be chalked up to "the confusion of racism". I think he got hooked for the same reason any number of people get hooked. Because heroin is a hell of a drug.

this bitch acting like George Michael wanted pussy.

Mr. Crouch (peace be upon you) you are correct "if they could sing they would". That's why they're not even rapping any more...they sing the same cadence and use autotune to a redundant and played out drill trap 32nd triplets beat ....Mr. Crouch you hit it on the nail and these two bozos couldn't see that in the 90's....fast forward to the now and Mr. Crouch was never lying... Lets face it Hip Hop is in the way these days and simply flooded with talentless beings out for a money grab and nothing to offer. Its the snowman's (aka con) cult and it always has been.

16:21 Tell 'em Crouch.

Rap is crap simple no playing musicians ,

STANLEY IN THE END WAS 10000000% CORRECT LOOK WHAT THIS HORRIBLE COON MUSIC HAS DONE AND BECOME

Crouch was quite delusional if he didn't think that the lyrics of rap were not a statement from young black Americans

Niiiice. Y’all are talented.

Yeah

Yea man!

Crouch's logic is faulty through and through, and he's able to throw people off his trail by being demonstrably dismissive of rap music. Rap is crap by his estimation, but he's makes a living off of critiquing it.

Who’s the pianist? Who’s on bass; doesn’t look like Andy?

What brilliant black minds! Still, I can understand Crouch's point. He was an intellectual heavyweight with whom I often disagreed but to whom I enjoyed listening.

RIP Stanley Crouch. He may seem to come off as a hatin ass uncle in this discussion, but he kept it 100.

I wonder what the discussion would look like in todays era of rap music. I wonder if any of those opponents have change their views? It would be absolutely disingenuous by those opponents of Stanley to defend rap music today.

Harry Allen crushing it, yass

Hey black people, why not try being just people?

These dimwits are not worthy of the intellectual heavyweight and champion Stanley Crouch.

White supremacy, my ass.

I miss you Josh.

You have a beautiful sound!

A great Organic Real Jazz musician has reportedly passed - Dec. , 2016. What a loss! As a jazzician, he was lyrical on both alto and baritone saxophones. Josh was humane, humble and personable. He was literally and figuratively a community of friendship and warmth. As a woodwind technician, he was most skillful. In 2015, a minor repair to my friend's tenor saxophone cost him nothing; for Josh was never motivated by money - honesty and sincerity were but a small part of his excellent personality. Josh, we do adore you; rest in peace!

This was the artistry of Mark Murphy. Everything he sung was over and over, in another world. " The Ballad of the Sad Young Man" is enough to explain why he is been the most complete singer of all times. He was able to sing very difficult songs in the most natural way. Improviser, scater, actor, poet, lyricist, historian of music and teacher. Everything he sung seemed so natural, almost easy, even when it was impossible. The control of his voice was absolute, and even great performers like Torme', Hartman, Sinatra, Hendricks, Elling Mahogany or Bennett has never been "complete" has he was. Not a lot of people know Mark Murphy, because he always has been a genius by himself, too free to let the world categorizing him , or putting him into some common cliche. Everybody can take his whole discography, an impressive monument of coherence, knowledge and masterpieces, trying to compare it with the discography of any other great singer. Ella Fitzgerald claimed: "He is my equal", but I frankly think that the only comparable singer to him could be Sarah Vaughan, the divine "Sassy". Mark was a close friend of Sheila Jordan and Annie Ross, two milestones of jazz vocality, but both of them never reached Murphy's artistry. He had the vision of the genius, all life long. Mark Murphy: the one and only.

I never knew about this exceptional video. So happy to see him in perfect shape, with an incredible repertoire. Happy to hear "September 15th" , a wonderful song from one of his most beautiful record, "September Ballads" (1987). The band is superb and for this reason he could express his artistry at best. The dancers embody a natural extension of his unique voice. An important document.

Good discussion.

If Stanley Crouch hates rappers so much, why he is wearing Biggies sweater? ;-)

Wonderful saxophone playing thank you so much keeping the real musical spirit alive and great sound hope you are in NY late March 2017 Nigel Nash in Great Britain

when was this recorded and where?

that is some classy playing !

54:30.....truth

a master muscian at work

wow! thanks so much for posting this. so little footage of Mark singing 'live'available. A real treat.

Video quality is poor but I'm so grateful this has been uploaded. Best versions ever of 'The Ballad of Sad Young Men' and 'Angel Eyes'. Throw in a bit of MM hamming it up and what's not to like. RIP Mark Murphy, my favourite male singer ever.

Love your playing guys... whereabouts are you.. I'm imagining you are somwhere in USA...? I am in England.. do you ever play over here..? Gorgeous harmonious feel... I really enjoyed this... ;-)

Thank you, great concert and video :)

Drummer kills it

Great gig. I was there - this is the best I have heard the Fort Apache Band sound in over a decade when they were the best band in the world!!!!
