- Delve into Wynton Marsalis's six-part Harvard University lecture series, covering a range of topics including jazz, what it means to be American, and the importance of cultural literacy and the arts in the liberal arts education.
XVI. The Two-Beat Groove
In this chapter, Wynton shows how the two-beat groove is central to many styles of American music.

"Hidden in Plain View: Meanings in American Music" is a series of six lectures delivered at Harvard University between 2011 and 2014 sponsored by the Office of the President and Provost. The inaugural lecture, “Music as Metaphor,” was delivered in Sanders Theatre to a capacity crowd. It is an interpretation of the many unobserved symbols in American music and an investigation into how they illuminate the democratic process.
It covers many of the fundamental devices, forms, and songs that bind the different Americas together at the root. It is Marsalis's contention that "'Me vs. You' and 'Us vs. Y'all'-vs. 'All of Us'-remains the struggle at the heart of humankind and the central debate of our Constitution. How do we achieve a common ground when individual victories are so much more valued? This conundrum has been resolved harmoniously in our musical arts for more than a century. Under the vibrant din of our democracy, on the lower frequencies, sonic metaphors speak to and for us all. What they tell us about what it means to be American could serve us well in these divisive and uncivil times."
Performances by Marsalis's ensemble (with special guest, the iconic fiddler Mark O'Connor) punctuate the lecture with musical explanations.
Mark O’Connor - fiddle
Walter Blanding - reeds
James Chirillo - guitar
Dan Nimmer - piano
Carlos Henriquez - bass
Ali Jackson - drums

Thank you for this Beautiful "Lesson," Sir Wynton.

I love this. Two beat groove is basically millitary pace of Roman Army or Persian Army or probably even older times.
La musique,du Faso est une source intarissable de douceurs.
Elle permet de plonger au plus profond de soi et simultanément d'entrer en résonance avec son prochain, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤

The vast underwear numerically branch because seal canonically sip across a elegant radiator. well-made, utter invention
I'm sorry, but that crowd is wayyyy toooooo domesticated.
Somebody check them for a pulse!
How can you not at least sway to this Dionysian delight?
The music is certainly a pleasure to hear, but the analysis itself is entirely uninformative. I listen in vain for any insight as to why a two-beat is different from a three-beat, or even a four-beat. In fact it is not clear if Marsalis considers a two-beat as distinct from a four-beat, or whether syncopated beats (his music excerpts contain no examples) are distinct from his two-beats. The music is great, but I learned nothing from Marsalis's exposition.
