For the first half of the 20th century, jazz was the king of music! But even if jazz has since been dethroned by modern styles of music like rock, pop and hip hop, jazz still serves as a vast source of inspiration for contemporary artists.

It's not a David Bennett Piano video without Radiohead, Pink Floyd and The Beatles
I love PF and the Beatles, but am sorry to say that I have not ever heard any Radiohead that I like - despite David's frequent examples.
@@sschmidtevalue angry fanboys are coming for you lol
Especially the beatles...
@@sschmidtevalue even Everything In It's Right Place?
@@sschmidtevalue I used to despise them, and then they became my favourite band. Life's funny in that way.
I get why people might find Thom Yorke's voice off putting and that could be a big reason why you wouldn't enjoy them.
I'd say try 'Faust Arp', 'Scatterbrain', 'Paranoid Android', 'How to disappear completely' 'Jigsaw falling into place', 'Everything in it's right place' ... that might be a weird mix that gives you a pretty good impression of what they do and if that's not for you, then you gave it a shot.
“Another band you might not expect to be influenced by jazz is Radiohead” I’m watching a David Bennet video, I’m pretty sure Radiohead is going to be in there
That’s why I love these videos , specially since David talks about my favorite two bands (1 Beatles , 2 Radiohead) keep on with your great work David !
😂 tru dat. (Love it)
David! Thanks so much for having the brilliant idea to make these videos. It's been so fun to work with you and to see the awesome take you have on this subject!
Thank you for getting involved! 😁 I love how we both found such different examples. It just goes to show how influential jazz is!
hi Aimee
Both wonderful. The powerful playing goes on. Thanks!
@@DavidBennettPiano Randy Bachman introduced the pop generation to Jazz/Rock.
Undun, Blue Collar, and of course Looking Out For Number One,
are masterful mixes of the two styles.
Lessons as a teenager from Jazz guitar master, Lenny Breau,
made all the difference.
I don't agree with his claim that Airplane's White Rabbit was influenced entirely by Miles Davis. He's overlooked the Spanish influence in the earlier Beatles' Eleanor Rigby and the Stones' Painted Black.
several members of the Police were jazz artists, and their grooves and chord voicings certainly exemplify that.
Surely Steely Dan deserve a very large shout out!
Sure there's countless of bands that 𝐶𝑂𝑈𝐿𝐷 be in any music discussion video... Always someone saying "hey! But that one band should be here!!"
i love how you say several like there were lots. but yes sting and stewart copeland were pretty jazz influenced. sting knew a lot of theory and his songwriting and melodies were quite jazz influenced to some extent. stewart copeland originally grew up learning jazz drums so his work was very jazz influenced. andy summers was also fairly jazz influenced, some of his post-police work was fairly jazz fusion-y to some extent
there where only 3 members
The Police only had 3 members, how could there be "several" of them that were jazzers? Unless you consider 3 to count as several, in which case you could have just said All of the band The Police were jazz musicians
This channel is proof that the Beatles are infinite
😍
they are!
Not really
@@nathanmontgomery1516 not really what? you don't like the Beatles?
@@nathanmontgomery1516 lol bet you've only heard She Loves You
Death, Taxes, and David Bennett talking about Beatles and Radiohead
All things that are imminent
Gets a bit tiresome after a while, doesn't it?
@@sootikins they make good music that is worth analyzing so no
Actually, I was quite surprised that he actually deigned a passing mention of Stevie Wonder in this video. (Although it was only 2 of his AM radio hits…) Maybe he has finally been studying the most important pop songwriter of the last 60 years...
"Eight Miles High" by the Byrds is inspired by Coltrane.
With the sax in "Dark Side of the Moon", and "Wish You Were Here" albums, you know someone in the group is a jazz lover.
(Aimee sent me).
Another obvious example is Steely Dan. “Gaucho” took the vamp from Keith Jarrett’s “Long As You Know You’re Living Yours” so blatantly that they eventually were forced to credit him as co-composer. “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” is built on the bassline from Horace Silver’s “Song For My Father”, and amongst others, there’s also “Parker’s Band”, an explicit homage to Charlie Parker. Also, on the subject of “Pyramid Song”: I strongly suspect that it influenced the Esbjorn Svensson Trio’s “Seven Days Of Falling”, demonstrating how influence can often be a two-way process.
Basically every SD song is jazz influenced, Deacon Blues being my favourite. They're freakin amazing!
I am a simple man, I see Richard Wright I click.
Such an incredible musician.
same
I am a simple man. When I see sir Paul McCartney in a David Bennet video, I click
I'm a little surprised not to find Queen appearing on this list. Quite a few of their songs sound very Jazzy, even if not directly lifting melodies from Jazz. (Tracks like Seaside Rendezvous, Killer Queen and Crazy Little Thing all sound very Jazzy through use of Jangle / Honky-tonk pianos, lots of 7th chords and the swing)
I thought the most obvious ones were 'Good old fashioned lover boy' and 'My melancholy blues'. Both very '20s style jazz.
They had an album called Jazz for crying out loud haha...
With crazy little thing called love i think more of classic rock n roll. Jazz just tends to share similarities with rock n roll or any genre for that matter that came from blues. Still not bad point tho
Yes, the seaside rendezvous is pure old time jazz. Great song. The question is, copied from which song?
Definitely surprised "Life in a Glasshouse" wasn't the Radiohead example. It features an actual jazz band, the Humphrey Lyttelton Band. The arrangement is supposed to sound like a New Orleans jazz funeral.
Various Jimi Hendrix songs have a jazz "slant." "Up From the Skies" and "Rainy Day, Dream Away" are probably the most obvious. A lot of the most skilled rock drummers of the 1960s were basically really loud jazz drummers, like Mitch Mitchell of the Hendrix Experience and Bill Ward of Black Sabbath. Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" is really a jazz tune disguised as a pop tune with "fancy" chords. The jazz influence on the Police comes via Sting and Andy Summers, and "Murder by Numbers" is probably the most overtly "jazzy" Police song.
Yeah if I’m not mistaken Mitch Mitchell was trained in jazz drumming and was actually gigging as a teenager in jazz bands.
@@rudkx Yup!
I hadn't thought that way about Up From the Skies, a song I can go on a jag about, but you're right. No wonder Gil Evans did it in his Hendrix tribute album.
most on the nose, Cake's inclusion of a trumpet player for much of their career is definitely a sign of their inclination to add a hint of jazz into their art...most notably the trumpet solo in "Italian Leather Sofa" from "Fashion Nugget". As a trumpet player in elementary school just getting into the hip alternative scene...this was definitely exciting to hear buried in that album XD
omg, really expected Life in A Glasshouse to be the jazz example for Radiohead, but was pleastly surprised! love kinetic sm, amnesiac has amazing b-sides
Me too, life in a glasshouse really sounds like a jazz influence song, it's one of the songs in the amnesiac album that I really like when I first hear the whole album, the one that really save the album tbh🙂
@@kirstytan7855 agreed! amnesiac is SUPER close to the Bends in my radiohead album ranking but Glasshouse pushes it over the edge to my favorite :)
@@Sapphirebulletsofpurelove yasss
@@Sapphirebulletsofpurelove Amnesiac is definitely my favorite album of theirs. I like it SO much better than Kid A, tbh.
I have re-listened the entirety of To Pimp A Butterfly on its 6th birthday and god damn did I want to see more talk about it here :D so much jazziness
With actual jazz musicians, rather than samples, no less.
@@youmothershouldknow4905 yes, that is probably the most honourable aspect of the actual music on the record, such a bold move considering the circumstances surrounding it
@@UltraCodex66 Tell ya one thing, the world class For Free jazz musicians weren’t for free.
Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Radiohead are three of my favourite bands so please... ignore the haters and continue these very interesting videos. Thanks!
Oh don’t worry about that! Thanks for the support though 😃😃
@@DavidBennettPiano 👍 thanks for replying.
@Anne Day some are - others are downright rude
@@olivarionline no, they're not. I'm with Anne here. It's a gentle ribbing if anything.
I pity anyone who is a hater here. I can't even imagine it. Nor should David - lol.
Why does David saying bitches make me laugh everytime
More Jazz-inspired songs? How about the whole of Prog? Prog rock and jazz fusion basically blended into one another in the 1970s. Also, Jonny Mitchell, who straddles both genres.
Like the entirety of King Crimson's Lizard.
Yep. The best proggers were classically trained who saw the light of jazz and mooshed it altogether in an otherworldly dream state.
Definitely look at Queen's "Good Company" if you don't know it. Brian May basically recreated a Dixieland jazz band using only his guitar.
one of the first bands that popped into my mind was *Talk Talk* Mark Hollis was inspired by classical music but he loved Jazz, more specifically, *Coltrane* and Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock, and to some extent The Colour Of Spring have more Jazz inspired tracks.. Mark was a genius, rip.
Those last two Talk Talk albums are fantastic, def lots of jazz influence
This one is amazing, David! I love jazz and I love blues, probably because I think they're both the complete heart of American music, and deeply intertwined. These examples you've illustrated are just fascinating. Thank you!
Thanks Bob! 😀
All the yes.
I write song influenced by The Beatles and other popular artists. I've tried to get into Jazz for years, watching your videos and others, but it's never really clicked for me. This video has been helpful for me in seeing a connection I've been trying to understand for years. Thank you.
After you mentioned what the Jazz "Verse" was, I immediately thought of Evil Woman (ELO).
Most studio musicians, who played on the majority of hit records in the 50s and 60s, were jazz musicians
Jazz influenced hip hop deserves a video of its own. Nas, Jurassic 5 and Wu Tang spring immediately to mind, but so much old school relies on the hooks
I liked how to mantain the name of your channel you play the piano at the end lol
Another top video, David. Love the jazz connection, also a big fan of Aimee Nolte. Would love to see more videos with a jazz vibe.
Thanks Hugh 😃
Enjoyed the video!! Very educational & engaging project. Members of the Grateful Dead have cited John Coltrane as an influence. The jam sections of some songs exemplify this influence
I am reminded of other 1960s pop/rock songs with a "verse" intro. The Four Seasons "Let's Hang On to What We Got" is one.
Awesome! The first thing I did when I got to work this morning is watch this video. The rest of the day is mush. Thanks David.
Thanks for watching!
Sir Duke is also a great example of what you can achieve using just a pentatonic scale.
You've helped me work out why I’m so picky with what swing songs I like! Apparently, I love a good shout chorus! Thanks for this helpful tidbit in an amazing video!
Thanks Kate! 😃
Dude, what you do through your videos is magical. You're helping me to see what I feel when listening to music. And it's beautiful to see the origins of the songs we love. Thank you!
But wait... In “All Blues”, the D7#9 chord is simply a dominant V chord, whereas in “Breathe”, it’s part of a much more unusual kind of backdoor resolution. I think it’s sort of misleading to present things in absolute terms rather than in relative, or functional terms. The keys are different so the two D7#9 have completely different functions.
Well the keys aren’t particularly different... only relative major/minor. And I was only describing what Rick Wright said himself. The chords might be used in different ways, but the fact is that Wright was inspired by that chord’s inclusion in All Blues
@@DavidBennettPiano But “Breathe” resolves to Em, while “All Blues” resolves to G. I agree the chords are similar in that they’re respectively relative minor/major chords, but the keys of the songs are still different, don’t you agree? In “All Blues”’s case, you have a I - V - I, whereas in “Breathe”’s, you have a III - bVII - i. I agree the chord itself, not its function, might be the inspiration, but that chord, the “Hendrix chord”, isn’t that rare in rock music; even AC/DC uses it in “Shoot to Thrill”... It’s not a very jazzy chord like a 6/9 or a #11 might be. What’s your take on this?
What a great idea, man. Coincidence or not but yesterday i was watching David and thought that combination D7#9/ D7-9 itself resolves better in G than in Em. In "Breathe" it ends in a rather "unresolved" resolution and that's amazing. B7#9/ B7-9 would have sounded more strict and "fitting" to Em but it wouldnt have had a twist.
@@sergemichoels3937 Yeah, it’s a classic and strong V-I, compared with an interesting yet rarer bVII - i. Quite different in my opinion!
Also, I think the chord after D7#9 should be labeled D7b9, instead of D#dim7.
If I Fell has a 'verse' in a way...
Good point! Nice example
@@DavidBennettPiano Great video, man 👌
yeah i was thinking of that one too
Billy Joel's "Zanzibar" is one of the best examples of a jazz influenced pop song.
Also Burn is one of my faves, as a jazz musician I'm surprised I never caught on to the fascinating rhythm similarity
As always David...
Good stuff.
Lots to think about here.
You make this stuff easy to digest.👍🎸💪🥃
Great topic... The section on verse vs refrain is a revelation. Thanks so much! I'm still midway through, but excited for this cross-over/collab with Aimee Nolte... this is a great day :-)
I learned a great deal. THX!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Lovely to hear the real Sinatra and not "cover by so and so for copyright reasons".
Agreed!
I love it. Jazz is amazing when it comes to the piano, bass, and drums imo. They're much more exciting than they are in typical music.
The main melody of "All My Loving" is directly borrowed from a tiny piano vamp in Dave Brubeck's "Kathy's Waltz" at 1:02. Yes, The Beatles again
As always, great stuff! Thanks for putting it all together. I remember loving the 2/5/1 vibe in "Harbor Lights" by Boz Scaggs; and still like to use it (I tend to add the 4) to play solos over while I'm noodling around with my loop pedal.
Much as I appreciate the glimpses of music I don't know so well, I love the insights into songs I'm very familiar with, the moments that make me go, ‘Whoa, I've never thought of it that way!’ Happens a lot when you talk about the Beatles. Thank you.
Randy Bachman introduced the "pop" generation to Jazz/rock.
Undun, Blue Collar, and of course, Looking Out For Number One,
are masterful mixes of the two styles.
Lessons as a teenager from jazz guitar master, Lenny Breau,

Thanks for another inspirational video! Another “jazzy” Pink Floyd song is “San Tropez” from “Meddle”. Keep up the great work. I always learn a ton from your videos. Thanks!
I had just assumed that Jefferson airplane were trying to sound Spanish. Like a game of telephone that one.
David, I love that you are a Beatles fanatic, because I was too as a kid and for about 20 years so I can follow exactly what you're getting at. Which is great because I'm learning things that for me are challenging. I so appreciate your work and I really should contribute to your Patreon. And I will.
Ya like jazz?

@@DavidBennettPiano In the universe of musicans, this is a certified rickroll
Some of the jazziest heavy metal is surely found of Black Sabbath's debut album.
Examples?
“Til There was you” by The Beatles should have been included
@@pastorandreaswendt Meredith Willson wrote it, but it was written for The Beatles only, right?
@@pastorandreaswendt Thanks for acknowledging this, I did not know that it was a cover! Yes, still it proves the point for Beatle's Jazz inspiration 😄
That song is actually sort of a jazz standard so it certainly does show their jazz influence 😃
@@DavidBennettPiano Will a second video come on this topic?! This is really a great influence 🙏🙏❤️
@@banjoindrajit It was taken from an American 'musical', the name is on the tip of my tongue, can't quite remember,.. check it up on Wikipedia.
I can't stop watching your videos since I have discovered them!! I don' play any instrument but I find them so interesting because I listen to any kind of music and your analysis are brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you Valeria! That means a lot 😃
A perfect watch with my morning coffee. ☕
Oh my, Your channel is amazing! Thanks so much for all this knowledge!
Kathy's Waltz (Dave Bruebeck) and All My Loving (The Beatles) is amazing
mmm jazz
oh also love u david
Actual pop inspired by jazz:
* pretty much everything by Steely Dan
New jazz songs recorded by pop artists.
* Moondance - Van Morrisson
* The man who sailed around his soul - XTC
* Bad Habits - Billy Field
One artist whose jazz influences always strike me is Japanese pop/rock artist Sheena Ringo. Her recent music and some of her 00’s music takes jazz stylings and instrumentation’s and skews them around in fascinating and thought provoking ways. Cool stuff that fits right in with this crowd.
I don’t have much knowledge whatsoever of Japanese music scene but I’ve heard lots of (new and old) Japanese pop heavily uses jazz elements and I’ve heard it in joe hisaishis scores for sure.
Not familiar with that much of her music, but her biggest hits Honnou and Marunouchi Sadistic sound really jazzy to me
Fantastic, thank you again,David
You know who was also influenced by Charles Mingus? John Paul Jones, better known as the bassist of the Led Zeppelin, credits Charles Mingus as well as jazz guitarist/bassist Phil Upchurch as one of his inspirations for learning bass guitar. He also said that Upchurch's _You Can't Sit Down_ LP is what inspired him to take up bass.
Awesome! Useful, informative and exciting! Thank you so much!!
Great Gig in the Sky, also by Pink Floyd certainly has some jazz parentage.
Early Allman Brothers Band was quite influenced by Kind Of Blue, their tune Hot 'Lanta sounds to me like their version of jazz incl. basic structure of head, solos, head.
Great video as usual. Could you please make a video about the music in Studio Ghibli films at some point? I'd love to see that
For me, its the Nausicaä soundtrack
Amazing movies from the Ghibli Studios.
4:40 morning here in Japan; I’m half-asleep but at least could find your video came out
Thanks for the nice Good-night(morning?) videoooo
Thanks! 🇯🇵
Us and Them and the Great Gig in the Sky both by Floyd are great examples of Rick Wright’s Jazz influence
I think, many Paul's bass parts sounds like a "walking bass" ("All My Loving" as an example), that might to be inspiring by jazz too.
P.S. Big hi from Russia, David!
Great example! Yeah, Paul has a great knack for a good walking bass line!
Enlightening video as always!!!
Thanks Josh! 😃😃
Great Video! I love jazz and your videos are always so interesting
Yes, "Jazz" was the popular music of the early 20th century, but that jazz was pretty different from the jazz of the 1950s and later. Jazz changed over time.
In fact most of what David refers to as "Jazz" is not Jazz at all, but pop songs. Very well written pop songs, but pop songs all the same. Jerome Kern hated jazz… (and just to eternally irk him in his grave, the only people that play his tunes today are Jazz musicians ...)
Could the beginning of "Do You Want To Know A Secret" by the Beatles be considered a verse?
You have to do a special of hip hop and jazz. The numbers of songs and influence of both genre, are countless.
I really love your videos, so much knowledge to share for music lovers
David has a true gift... if I've ever seen one! I have "a" (many) major learning disabilities, especially in regards to music theory. Yet somehow this video miraculously seeped into my brain and was absorbed and understood! If I could put it into vision terms...It was as if I were legally blind and had not been able to see well enough to recognize a single face for 40 years. Then all of a sudden David shows up, and somehow I can see the color of my child's eyes and hair. And realize that they have freckles too! Thank God for this incredible gift this lesson has given me!
What about "You'll never know how much I really love you
you'll never know how much I really, girl" ? and then the whole song has nothing to do with that
(I'm talking about Do You Want To Know A Secret by The Beatles) of course
Thats true! Fun fact, George is actually saying ‘you’ll never know how much I reallyyy caaare’. The Liverpool accent makes it so the ‘ah’ sound becomes more like ‘euh’. Like how Paul rhymes ‘I’d have never been AWARE/but as it is I’ll dream of HER tonight’ on I’ve Just Seen a Face.
@@elrabeechum5180 Oh my ears fooled me, I knew it didn't make sense, thanks!
@@pastorandreaswendt It certainly is
@@facundosimonetti5203 Oh no worries man, everybody mishears lyrics, Dylan himself thought 'my love/I can't hiiiide' from I Want to Hold Your Hand was 'I get hiiiiigh' and thought the Beatles were stoners before they smoked up together haha
The Doors "Light My Fire" was inspired by John Coltrane's version of "My Favorite Things". Many of their other songs have jazz inspired elements.
You can hear Pink Floyd's jazz influence simply in how they play. I re-listened to Dark Side of the Moon recently with headphones for the first time and noticed how David Gilmour and particularly Richard Wright comp in a most jazzy way. My favourite jazz influenced hip-hop was a Canadian group from back in the 90's, The Dream Warriors. Their most famous song was probably "My Definition of a Bombastic Jazz Style," which I think was based on a sample from a Quincy Jones song.
Well done David. Your subject matter is always so interesting.
David I have mean to ask you to do something, an analysis of The cure. (I don't know of what, but I think it would be very interesting as they influenced a lot in goth rock and new wave)
I’ll try to get them into a future video!
@@DavidBennettPiano thanks
Music theorist Ari Shagal has argued that the most salient link between modern pop songwriting and the great American songbook is the work of Laura Nyro. Nyro wrote jazz and show tune influenced songs using jazz musicians from her first LP in 1966 as a teenager and never stopped. Miles Davis was a big fan, and many hip hop artists have sampled her, such as Kanye and J Dilla. She was an influence on Steely Dan and Joni Mitchell and scores of others. Nyro's Coffee Morning (1967) is influenced by Bill Evans Peace Piece. Nyro loved Miles Coltrane, Billie Holiday and Debussy. Her I am the Blues is the best jazz blues song you may ever hear (1976), with Randy Brecker. Buy and Sell (1967), a torch song about drugs and prostitution. Jazz legend Zoot Sims plays on Lonely Women (1968).
excellent as usual!
When you explained the concept of jazz verses in Beatles songs, I was surprised you didn't go into "Do you want to know a secret?" - sometimes John and Paul even gave their jazzy tunes to George!
Nice example!
My personal favourite Beatle verse is "If I fell". Amazing.
P.S. I Love You is also interesting to mention. The intro is very similar (has the exact same lyrics) to the later bridge-section, only there's an extra chord thrown in, in the first three lines it goes: G - C#7 - D (in the bridge it is just G to D).
That tritone substitution in the beginning of If I Fell - beautiful stuff 🔥🔥😎😎
The keyboard parts Ray Manzarek provided in The Doors are a prime example of jazz influence in rock music. The most familiar example is tbe solo in Riders on the Storm.
I am not well versed enough in the Doors catalogue or jazz to point out specific jazz roots in specific songs, but my ears tell me they are there.
It might be interesting to see a series of videos on great rock keyboard players. Lots of opportunities for discussing influences and techniques.
Cool breakdowns man.
David it would be really cool if you released somewhere those tunes you play on the piano at the end of your videos, like the Satin Doll one here. I’d like to hear the full version without the voiceover.
"If I fell" has a verse/intro at the beginning as well.
All I could think of when you were talking about the 'verse' sections was the start of 'Thank You For The Music' by ABBA and 'Evil Woman' by ELO. Love those songs! :))
US3 straight up loops Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island for their song Canaloop Flip Fantasia.
This is a seriosuly good, high quality youtube channel. The depth of knowledge here is amazing.
*seriously!
Steely Dan's piano rhythm on Rikki Don't Lose That Number taken from Horace Silver's Song For My Father
sir duke
edit: it is in the video 🙂
😉
The “verse” didn’t originate in jazz. Classical music (opera) has been doing it almost since it’s beginning. It was called Recitativo, with free rhythm. Later on it was replaced by accompagnato, where instead of being accompanied by a cembalo the whole orchestra accompanies the voice.
That makes sense considering that 20th century musical theatre basically evolved from opera 😃
i don't know much about this but "here's looking at you" by blondie has a similar verse idea and vaudeville feel too !
my definition of a boombastic jazz style
The Who’s “My Generation”’s vocal melody is pure Mose Allison
This video is making me miss my high school jazz band! Such a fun time.
Very interesting great work thank you
I like jazz..I like this video a lot..Miles , Stan, Chick , Stanley Clarke all the Jazz Fusion mob I owe them everything
