Hey mr McLeod your dedication to your passion and your amazing work hasn't just touched the lives of your students and people around you but it has travelled the world crossed borders all the way to Egypt where it has enriched the life of a young man such as myself and brought him joy to know a bit about the genre of music closest to his heart. In the depth of night, in the cold winter, you drew a smile on my face and sparked a little joy in my heart as I listen to you with fascination.

Oh yeah, definitely agree that you know jazz music. He came of interest of listening to the dancing but that was always there as well

[chriszaccanti]

Great video, great voice. Could have toned down the lip smacking a bit.

[valentinhachler]

19:35 such an important point to make. Thank you

Great video. In regards to dance I think we tend to dance more to the rhythm section, with the soloist being the embellishment. Barry Harris said that Parker would play to packed dance halls and man can you dance to his performances. Personally I think its unfortunate that people tend to take it far too seriously 😅

[clivelange]

love this..interesting simply cause i love jazz music so much

The swing era was about dancing irrespective of the number or instruments.

[bill]

Well to me like bebop came out of the swing era and like the best soloists was in the band with the form jam sessions and that's how Bebop for me

[skillet]

First and foremost, Jazz music's central figure was and is Mr. Louis Armstrong.

[davidreidenberg]

There was plenty of individual improvisation in the swing era. Basie, Ellington…..

I think the decline of swing was America and a large part of Europe dealing with and embracing chaos. Big band swing was structured, all about order. There were surprises, but audiences knew what to expect beginning to end. The war shook everyone of all races, and they eventually caught up to the uneasy feeling the poor and oppressed had for centuries. Music that told you that everything made sense felt like a lie. People still wanted to enjoy beauty, but they wanted it broken.

[bill]

too simple of an explanation with the artist and Jazz and pop music to me. Music is like a force of art and you have different dialects

please transcribe this or add captions.

These are the types of jazz that turned audiences AWAY from jazz when it was no
longer FUN, became pseudo intellectual, undanceable, with strange melodies. As one person said:"it sounds like random notes"! True.

If you think African Americans came up with everything in jazz and developed it, read "the lost chords" by a jazz historian who argues that this wasn't entirely the case, white musicians made huge contributions to jazz throughout its process, including very early on during Dixieland jazz era. Even during the Bebop era there were numerous collaborations between white and black musicians and in fact, black musicians would often latch themselves to white musicians in order to be able to have more opportunities to perform in places they otherwise couldn't.

The lost chords book argues that contributions by white musicians to jazz are consistently overlooked and aren't given nearly enough credit.
