Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- Ya like jazz? Well I certainly do. In this video we explore the history of jazz, from its conception in west Africa and the Americas, all the way through the 19th and 20th centuries, through blues, ragtime, swing, bebop, the free jazz and on into the modern day.
Featuring such artists as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Scott Joplin, and many others!

What would come to be jazz originated in the spiritual and traditional music of West Africa. These musical traditions were- and continue to be- extremely diverse, what with Africa being FUCKING MASSIVE, however there are some commonalities between regional styles. The players of West African music placed a heavy emphasis on rhythm as opposed to melody or harmony, and very often would involve many different rhythms layered on top of each other in Polyrhythms .
Ragtime was a very popular style of music which appeared in the 1890s, and very quickly took over dance halls all throughout the States. In contrast to the subdued Blues, ragtime was loud, and big and colourful. The style, which was mostly played on pianos, adopted vibrant harmony, and utilised crazy syncopated rhythms
The Jazz age was a period in the 20s and 30s where Jazz rose to meteoric popularity. The genre had become almost completely ubiquitous- it was played everywhere. Coffee houses, great big theatres, bars, restaurants, you name it! Even classical musicians like Ravel and Shostakovich were beginning to take inspiration from Jazz, and would incorporate some of its elements into their own styles. .
Swing was an immensely popular style of jazz around this time. Developing out of dance orchestra of the 1920s, Swing would reach its height of popularity in the 30s and 40s.
Post war Jazz arose in the 1940s as a response to the decadent popularity of swing in the 20s and 30s. Jazz began to take a turn for hipster- gone were the days of popular, simple, dancing jazz - no - musicians were bored of that stuff. It’s always the case, whenever something is really cool and then gets popular because it’s really cool, there’s always a group of nerds that are like “ugh, I knew it before it was popular”
In their opinion, earlier jazz was forced to sacrifice its potential as art for mass appeal, but no more. Musicians had a desire - they wanted to listen to jazz, not dance, listen . Musicians wanted to reform the genre into a mature style that not only is fun to listen to, but also captures deep musical meaning. And from this desire, Bebop was born.
Jazz throughout the mid to late 20th century continued to transform. Free and avante garde jazz appeared, and experimentalism came into vogue. Musicians like John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock all added their own distinctive flavours to the mix- developing new, never-before-seen musical structures and techniques in jazz that are used all across music today. Art Ensemble of Chicago, an experimental jazz group, arose in the late 60s- very often ignoring melody and harmony altogether, and instead using nonstandard instruments like bicycles bells and rubber ducks.
Jazz artists today are constantly finding new and exciting ways to reanimate and advance the genre- combining jazz standards with rock, hip hop, pop, folk, even western classical.
Musicians like Ashley Henry, Maria chiaro Argiro, Joel Ross and so many others are all contributing to the genre in their own unique and genius ways- in far too many directions for me to adequately talk about them all in this video.

ahhh......thank you ( I think) I hadn't seen this until after I pressed "send"
@@janethampton6671 haha dont worry, honestly leave the comment anyway- any interaction helps boost the algorithm 🤷♂️. Hope this is good for your class
Thank you for this :)
yes you read our minds, thank you, will use the censored version. Also, some of us wouldn't be bored shitless to hear more theoretical analysis, e.g. your discussion of your experiment with Bartok / Coltrane elements.
Thank you!! This is the best version I've found, and I was just thinking - dang - I can't use it in my piano studio. Now I can!!
I'm writing an essay on Jazz right now and listening to this really helped contextualize alot without having to trawl through lengthy wordy articles so thank you so much! Also, having the lense of your personal character and energy and the little comedic flairs really makes it much more interesting than any boring article I could have found. Thank you so much :D
Glad I could help 💚
haha it is funny that I'm in the same situation... BTW, nice and helpful video!!
I'd read it for fun if you don't mind.
saameee LOL
update: bruh i got an 88 on it
Please, read my reply insteed. I am a "conservatory" trained perfoming artist, and music historian, past, yet present. I consider myself a Music Anthropologist. Regurgitating what some Ass-Hat on CZcams told you is no sub-reference for your formal education. Nor does it contextualize the historical facts. All our knowlege, prior to the recording, and motion picture industry, is learned through what has been writen by first hand journalists, and the interpretation of those journalist's observations.
I really appreciate the emphasis you put on the colonial process, specially it being a central topic when talking about music that mixes african traditions with american ones, but is mostly overlooked since a lot of people (specially in Europe) prefer to look the other way instead of acknowledging what's happened. That's a part of history that cannot be overlooked, so great job!
They hate acknowledging it. The funny part is we as blk people don’t care about the origins of styles of music. It’s only an issue when they hear it.
Much props to you for mentioning colonialism and slavery - when talking about the history of the music and how much culture was eradicated by Europeans. I expected you would skip over it, but you didn't and I thank you for it.
Dude you’re really fucking underrated
Thanks 💚
Absolutely, I like this channel.
I need this video to be longer!!! It will be amazing if I can hear a bit of every genre you talked about. I really enjoy it but I'm sure everybody will appreciate a longer version.
I'm literally assigning this to my college class tomorrow. 100/10.
Love the commentary, super insightful but incredibly entertaining.
I just wish he would not drop F bombs so teachers can share with students. I enjoy it as an adult though.
@@brianhonan4427 if you check the pinned comment you will see that their are multiple censored versions for use in class 💚
I'm just starting to explore jazz in more detail. This is a great help for understanding the roots of this great music!
Really awesome video! You covered a lot of bases, without being overly technical. Jazz has been going on for over 120 years, so it’s kind of hard to define in a nutshell. About 40 years ago,when I became musician, I was flabbergasted by this guy I met in high school who was a very gifted improviser. So I started trying to improvise myself. Still impressed to this day by people who improvise well,as it takes a lot of practice and study! Again , great video, my friend, Cheers from the USA!
This is a really good vid
Yes
Yessir
This is THE most informative video on the history of Jazz!!! Thank you. You’re so smart and hilarious!
i just watched a few videos about jazz history but yours was definitely the most fun and interesting to watch just because you have such an inspirational und fun way to talk about something your obviously passionated about!!
Followed a link on a reddit thread and now I'm here. I'm not musically inclined at all but I do love Jazz and so, this was very interesting! Look forward to more music knowledge videos.
Thanks 🎉🎉
i saw this on reddit too
I'm very impressed and entertained with this video. I've never been interested in this genre of music but took an Introduction to Music class for humanities credits. The assignment I'm working on now is a jazz timeline and I must say, my interests are peeked. Thank you!
Jazz is wonderful and is so diverse that I think everyone can find something to like about it- I'm glad you found my video helpful!
Wow, by the quality of this video I thought you had hundreds of thousands of subscribers. That was a very fun and informative video to watch, thank you for uploading it!
I wish lmao, thanks
I'm 3 years late, but I gotta say your presentation style is unique and refreshing! I'm paused at 1:11 to write this comment, so I can't speak on the rest of the video yet, but I like the personality of it so far. Nice work!
thank you so much for this, literally my new favorite channel
That's so nice thanks 💚 next video this Friday
Great to see many of our tracks in this cool video! Very well done! ❤️👍🎷
I loved this so much! Thanks for making it! Jazz and pop are my favs♥️
I’m new to your channel, but I dig your vibe. I’m only a couple minutes into this video and I’m already sold.
Thanks for mentioning Maria Chiara Argiro! I am loving her! What a find!
This was superrrr informative and im so thankful for ur effort into researching all of this 😭
yoooo this is amazing work 🤩 finally my mans is getting the recognignition he deserves! keep it up bruh ❤️
you had me at "oral tradition... DMFKLSDRNGISVDJGNFSKGDF" legendary video
Dam it!!!! As a middle school music teacher, I was hoping to use this in my class. Its perfect...except for your expletive rather early on. Too bad. Its perfect!
I wish I had access to this when I was studying Jazz history as elective for my undergraduate degree. Very well done. 😊
You made the video very engaging and fun, thank you
Awesome video. Thank you!!
2:55 You did not have to put that sound byte there but I am glad you did.
Enjoyed that, thanks, and could have watched a lot more. Good job on packing so much in, I'll probably rewatch later. Also, very rare for me to catch a premiere, and only just arrived home in time for this. I'd be interested in more videos about specific kinds of jazz and individual artists or groups, though I realise it's a massive subject. Love the channel.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I'm thinking of some more jazz topics to talk about, might go into free jazz a bit deeper or maybe explore the third stream. 💫
Same
Bruh your channel is awesome thank you for your work 🙏
Really incredibly informative and captivating video! I also loved your discussion at the end on how jazz fusion continues to evolve. I went to school for jazz sax however spent most of my life producing hip hop. I decided last year to start releasing ‘trap jazz’ where I combine jazz sax improvisation over current sounding hip hop production 🥂
i have never watched something so educational and entertaining at the same time. Thankyou for extricating my thoughts on this matter!
needed this for school and couldnt find anything online, thanks dude
I randomly got curious about where jazz came from, (and also I wanted to know the meaning behind the sarcastic look on Blake Lively’s character Adeline when the guy puts on “jazz”) and this video made me stayed focused long enough to actually watch and learn, which happens rarely. Anyways I loved your vid!
Dude, you are insane! I only started learning about jazz and you just gave all the basic information. Thanks:)
I'm so glad I could help!
Fantastic video! Excited to have stumbled onto your channel.
AMAZING VIDEO!! Thank you!
You are great! Thank you for the excellent video
Horribly good, well done
Love this wish it was longer, like probably each artist ur mentioned and other underrated ones and some Latino jazz and other countries jazz :)
You’re such a cute jazz nerd/musician!Love the content and alien giant steps transitions 🤘💜
Hilarious, informative, and entertaining. Rrelly got a kick out of the social commentary. Well done sir!
What a great video. I enjoyed the progressively more monged takes on Giant Steps.
Really love your video essays! 💜 Keep 'em comin' 🌻
Haha this is great! It's like watching Ken Burn's 12 episode 'Jazz' series in the age of internet. Condensed and funny... Really great stuff, will be checking other videos soon :)
I love that you have Giant Steps remix in your intro :)
Good video overall but I feel like what many consider the golden era of jazz (late 50s - early 60s) was almost completely skipped. I would love a video to explain how bebop evolved into hard bop, cool jazz, jazz fusion etc and what the difference is between these. Like, how would one recognize the difference between bebop and hard bop?
Awesome vid!!
Loved the music theory moments, simple enough even for me to understand. And of course your delivery ;) thanks!
That was so HELPFUL!! Thanks for the crash course haha
Very informative video, great work!
I loved this video, thank you! 🤍
Ironically it would have actually been good if you hadn't blah-blahd your analysis/explanation of your experiment in combining Bartok with Coltrane. Particularly for those of us nerdy enough to watch right til the end.
Okay but what if we want to here the peice you composed to get into music school, it sounded very interesting
😂I'm still working myself up to showing that piece. Maybe I'll get a pianist to play it then I'll put the recording on this channel!
learn the difference between "here" and "hear" if you want to know about music!
So helpful and well done, thank you!
Really enjoyable and informative. Keep it up!
Great video! You should do it again where you have for audio examples of all the things you're talking about. To give us a better understanding of the differences along the way and how it changed.
That's a really good idea but unfortunately the nature of youtube means that the use of any copyrighted audio will be instantly flagged and my video will be restricted 😢
Yeah this music video changed my life. Jazz helps me stay present.
AWESOME VID
Love your content man! Keep going! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fantastic video!!
Great video. I have been playing piano for 2 years just playing songs i like. But i want to start learning jazz to grow as a musician.
thanks for the interesting history lesson; good humor btw, i really enjoyed !
Thank you so much for making this!!
Thanks homie I got a final for my jazz history class in 4 hours
Hope it went well!
02:56 that's a grapefruit!
great video thank you! also cool the giant steps with synthesizers haha
Thanks, the full track is on my soundcloud 💚
I love you! Legend! Big thanks!
Another lovely video, thanks! You really make engaging videos. It seems to be a pretty common thing for us classical music nerds to also love jazz. I love late Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor and those European free jazz artists like Evan Parker, Brötzmann and von Schlippenbach. Sometimes they almost sound like modern classical music. More than once I've felt that Pierre Boulez's piano sonatas kinda sound like Cecil Taylor. And that's high praise for both since I love both Boulez and Taylor.
Oh I love jazz so much, I'm constantly incorporating into my work. I've actually got a bass clarient project coming up that's going to be a jazz/contemporary classical fusion. I know what you mean when you say modern classical sounds very jazz-like, i think composers are more and more realising the value of the genre
Ultimately jazz was a fusion of western and African culture, the music theory and instruments of the west and rhythm and breaking away from the rigidness of western music theory of Africa . Nothing exists in a vacuum including music. I cant think of any Jazz musicians black or not that wasn't trained in western music theory or played a western instrument.
Jazz is black music
WOW!! Great intro to jazz!
you‘re so underrated this is amazing!
Thank you this is dope
this is just excellent!
im still curious how the original ragtime piano players got the idea to play the piano in that style. i mean like where is the link between classical music piano and ragtime piano. where did they get the ideas for the chords and licks they played?
This is an interesting question. When you compare the harmony of a rag to any early romantic/classical piano piece you see that the harmonic tools being used are roughly the same- ragtime *tends* to be more chromatic (melody wise especially), but the main tools are pretty similar. Where ragtime diverges heavily is its rhythm which uses syncopation as a default, whereas much of classical uses syncopation for effect. As with most musical styles, the evolution of ragtime was likely a gradual process- although interestingly some sources originate ragtime from earlier black american banjo music, and even from english and scottish folk tunes imported from british immigrants. It's hard to say.
Great video!! Thanks 🙏
Thank you! Trying to immerse myself into jazz and this video helps with brief history
I love jazz, and love what you did hear
Jazz features melody with different types of harmonies, song structures, chords, lyrics, rhythms, ad lib solos and ensembles, using sophisticated instruments ( mostly of European origin). The so-called music from Africa doesn't contain most of these and their rhythm on drums isn't at all close to what jazz in its heyday used.
Wow, haven't seen such thing on CZcams for quite a long time.
me after 2 minutes of video: SO COOL OMG I'M LOVING THIS
Let's see how it ends
Pretty cool video so far, well explained with slight funny moments, so yes
this is great. you are hilarious.
Very informative thank you!!
Loved this video!
this is good good good. i like it. yes yes
Fucking impressive
great vid
LMAO the ending blah blahs. Great video!
You video moved me very much. I am blind and play the piano mainly classical but i'm falling in love with jaz for the first time in my life. From time to time growing up i'd listen to a Bill Evans album and think 'yeah right ok' but now I feel it. Surely Jaz has brought black adn white together and asian adn Jewish and all the rest. I had an argument with a blues teacdher who said tht Pebo Bricen is commercial radio crap and i said that wasn't fair because he has done lots of things. If anyone would likie to look for my blind piano teachers album Jan Rutherford a kind of blue on the abc tall poppies label. Sorry if it's hard to find. Jan died in 2003 saddly of lung cancre but she was cool i write this in memory of her. I am writing from sydney. I want to make a jaz trio but i don't know how to find a rhythm person etc. ANyone have a word of advice?
this is a great video thanks very very much and I'm subscribed and staying ❤️
grazie del video, breve ma illustrativo
Do you mean the history of American Jazz? I'm a fan of what they call French Cafe Music, and also some classical composers like Debussy and Satie.
( French colonialism is a whole depressing rabbit hole onto itself. )
As a musician myself, I didn't start out with the intention of shifting into a jazz direction, rather I wanting to take classical music in a slightly different direction. Although this has led to...unintentionally networking with Metal, Jazz, and Goth Rock. I'm also a bit more about improv.
Great video 🤠
Your humour man. So delicious
Good to know this! Thxxxxxxxxx!
Oh boy, this is a godsend
If you're a teacher using this for a class I have two different censored versions pinned in the top comment :)
Love the video! Just wanted to ask if at 10:05 you are talking about contrafacts. From my understanding, they took sets of chord progressions from these common standards and wrote their own melodies over them. For example "I got rhythm" becoming the common rhythm changes we know today or "How High the Moon" and it's contrafact "Ornithology"). This was a way of working around copyright as you can copyright a melody, but cannot copyright chord progressions.
This is very interesting- I didnt actually know that to that level of specificity! I was more referring to the general trend of jazz musicians taking both melodies and prpgressions from earlier music to be placed within a jazz context. I'll look into that, very interesting.
Thank you .
