This is the hippest documentary on jazz that I have ever seen. Back around 1978 I was a delivery driver in Los Angeles and Jackie was playing at Shelley’s Man Hole in Hollywood and I could not afford to pay to get in so I stood outside and put my ear to the door and looked in the widow and listened to Jackie. He was in his 50’s at that time and he sounded great and I wanted to wait outside when he would leave the club but I was tired and I I had a long drive home so I split but Jackie will always be one of my favorite jazz musicians
What makes gil noble such a great jazz interviewer, he's a jazz fan that is knowledgeable and respectful to the music, and those who played it. Jackie McLean was a true giant.
Growing up in NYC, Eyewitness News was a mainstay in our home, my dad LOVED “Like It Is” and had so much respect for Gil Noble as a journalist and media pioneer. Rest In Heaven, Mr. Noble🙏🏻
My grandma loved watching Like it Is on sunday afternoons. Gil Noble was a huge representation of the African American community. Channel 7 was a big part of our home thanks to Like it Is, Eyewitness News, Oprah, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune. R.I.P Mr. Noble. A true Harlem icon and TV legend. Harlem all day!
What beautiful stories. This really made my day. The association of places with memories is powerful for me. As you get older the world seems to fill up with ghosts which are memories tied to a specific place. This video speaks of this phenomina
This was fantastic. I moved from NY to Chicago in !976 & I really missed Gil Noble's program. To come across this video of one of my favorite musicians & to heart their stories & memories was a supreme delight. Thanks for posting this.
Great interview by Gil Nobel, who I had no idea watching on Channel 7 News as a reporter was a jazz musician and knew, and grew up with a legend. Jackie McLean. Damn....I wish I had known then.
Jackie McLean "collective spirit and inner fire" A review of a JMac gig in Boston in the 90s said "Jackie McLean is so deep, only jazz goes there." Long live Jackie McLean!
Just wonderful. Coming from a Jazz Musician who feels the need to give back and KEEP THE FLAME BURNING - for the future generations - this was such a genuine discussion. So many intangibles, nothing staged. Jackie mentions the importance of Music History in the overall Jazz education. Coming up, I was fortunate to take a full-year class "Concepts of Music" which really dove into the origins of Jazz (Rhythm, Cultures, etc). Thanks again!
A great,gifted man of tremendous humility and generosity. One of the treasures of the jazz world,whose incredible music will last as long as there are people with the good taste to appreciate it.
Thank you for this video. It is such an emotion to hear Jackie Mclean .... I will never have the honnor to meet him but his music is still there...so pure..so intense....what a legend !!!
Absolutely essential viewing for anyone interested in jazz improvisation. Jackie McLean is a legend of this music, still relevant today. I agree with him that "jazz" is a terrible name for this music.
Oh man! So great watching Jackie & Gil! Yeah they sabotaged Gil's show 'Like it is' , & Gil died shortly after that! Never missed that show on Sunday at noon! JACKIE MCLEAN!!!
Classical musicians read music as a living...except for serious composer.. Jazz musicians improvised their our melodic lines. Using your 5 sense ..( jazz) Classical american/afro music
So Charlie Parker and other modern music artist back then were basically 'sampling' music and producing it like hip hop producers in the 80's til today.
@@brucescott4261 No not technically for obvious reason but nonetheless they were replaying other peoples stuff just playing it in a way that it wasn't easily recognizable just like today with sampling. The only difference is Bird played what he was 'sampling' from those classical music pieces whereas back in the days of hip hop producers were both replaying and sampling records of previously popular music. So whether you replay a music piece or run it through a sampler the concept is the same, both are using other people's music to create theirs.
Be Bop and Hip Hop are cousins. When Dizzy Gillespie usurped Harry Sweets Edison at Minton's Playhouse, years later, and just down the street, at Harlem World, Bizzy Bee was too busy to respond to the lyrical expression of Kool Mo Dee
You could find the Abstract listening to hip hop My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop I said, well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles - Q-Tip
Again a story about how much drogs can spoil a mans life or at least take many years out of his life. Parker said the same to young musicians and now Jackie Maclean warns them.
"you never know what's new, until you find out what's old" Jackie Mclean

One of the best interviews of a Jazz musician I've seen to date.

I love Jackie Mclean! He is the reason I picked up the alto! He understood so deeply
I wish we could get more of this from the original Bop and post bop artists. They are so intelligent and teach so much about life.

Yeah man, every Sunday 12pm 'Like it is' came on & I never missed! Love Jackie & Gil Noble!
I love Jackie McClean! Those stories of his were beautiful!
Gil Noble was a great journalist
We watched him on Eyewitness News channel 7 every night growing up.
The classic photograph of Richie Powell and Jackie McLean as kids is fantastic.
My gosh. The great Jackie McLean

Billy Eckstine's orchestra was more amazing and legendary than I realized.
Thanks for posting this. Jackie was one of my mentors.

This type of story mirrors my own life story as well, the times, places, and people are different, I can totally relate.

Miles told this same story in his book.
Gil Noble is a Nubian Hero

Definitely the------- 40,50,60,70...jazz musians had more opportunities ..2020 not so much
So Charlie Parker and other modern music artist back then were basically
'sampling' music and producing it like hip hop producers in the 80's til
today.
James Earl Cash ...They were not sampling.
