Wow, this blew up. I'm the bassist in this video - I never expected this to get so many views!! It was initially just a history project that me and the drummer wanted to do. I'm really glad many people found it educational and entertaining, but for all the negative comments in this comment section, all of us here were around 15-16 years old, so yes, there are some factual errors, and of course we missed some things, but we were just a bunch of kids in high school who loved playing music and wanted to do something fun; we weren't shooting a documentary or anything. Studying jazz at a conservatory level now, I understand we did get a lot of stuff wrong and misrepresented some key figures, but remember, it's way more constructive to encourage kids who actually have an interest in this wonderful genre of music than to criticize minute details that don't detract that much from the overall point of the video (the sax player didn't have an alto on hand, so he just played tenor the whole video). Many thanks to those who enjoyed it!!!
You guys are doing a great job - keep going!
Yo Julian! ha I randomly just saw this video, and saw you on bass, Nice!
Nice bass especially in giant steps that tempo is insane
Great playing man! You gigging now?
Dude, YOU WERE KILLIN IT
9:10 Tenor sax: "ah yes. my time has come"
I can feel it right in my heart...poor boy😂😣
Yea daddy’o
I feel bad
Can we just appreciate the bass player for a second 👌🏾👌🏾
Hell yes
Yassss
Mad props!
Yes, he killed it.
Oh yes
louis armstrong was a legend musician, cyclist, and was the first man on the moon. what an inspiration. 💪
Neil Armstrong, not Louis ;)
Justin Wong it’s a joke bud
@@plebobliterator did I get woooshed oh no
Justin Wong oh god you have a GIF as a profile picture and it fcked me up
@@plebobliterator lmao
Young men like you are the reason why jazz is still alive. Keep at it, and never stop...
This x 1,000,000. In some ways jazz is more pure than it's ever been. It's not chart-topping music anymore, the only reason it still exists is love.
@@adamf.4823 the internet is great in keeping music that isn't mainstream alive.
it's not alive but people are still tributing it
what about women
@@charlottecady9417 ive met some pretty sick female jazzers
The bassist was killing it
Musical ears are required.
mid.mic and good headphones/speakers
All us bass players always do ;)
Bass gang

For a jazz class presentation in high school, its actually impressive. Comprehensive history and playing just the snippets of jazz standards actually made it worth it.
Глухая самодеятельность.стыдно слушать.

Guy in white to himself: Yes, finally! My time to shine!

hahahah lol fr
A lot more educational than 80% of these type of videos out there
99%
97,5%
9:05 bassist looking at my man on the drums like "not quite my tempo"
bronzewand 😂😂😂 i hate it when that happens, but at least the sax followed the drums out of the tempo so it wouldnt sound as bad xD
Hahahahaha.
I get it lmao
bronzewand at least he didn’t throw a chair at him
BOY ARE YOU RUSHING OR DRAGGING?
Did not expect the sax player to go ahead and finish Coltrane's solo. some serious skills. None of the sax players in my old high school even dared to play the main line of Giant Steps.
freddy from icarly on the bass
Tight work boys. Thanks for the education.
1.3k likes and no replies
the aux percussionist is amazing haha
Zeke Flint huh
@Ray Heberer III hes too good to play
I love how the bass player plays. I love those walking basslines.
*You must not accent the nut*
Hockey Highlights salt PEAnuts
Hockey Highlights dizzy Gillespie
I don't wanna hear no nuts accented here tonight
This is so pure😂
👌 One does not simply accent the nut
Plays wrong note
me:" *its jazz* "
lol. my grandpa calls jazz "two or more wrong notes in a row." Hes kidding though, he loves jazz
There are no wrong notes in jazz, just wrong resolutions
Wrong notes don’t exist and music theory is just a guideline not a rule
Bro thats sucha lie Jazz is arguable the most creative muic ever and its my life so dont be like that. KIDDING SoRtA
@@rapidroha9245 Jazz is one of the best music genres? *YES*
was your comment a joke? *SORTA*
Hotel? *TRIVAGO*
"you never know what jazz is" then start explaining jazz
Chuck Sweet the point of that quote is that jazz can’t be summarized in a sentence, or even a video like this one. This video is not a comprehensive list or analysis, either.
Chuck Sweet I guess what he was trying to say was that you have to experience it and see it to know what it is.. pretty sure thats what he meant to say in my own words
This video doesn't explain what jazz is, but its history. Those are two distinct topics
Yo don't be such a asshole I am pretty sure they know more than you
What they were trying to say is dont be a jerk
The skill of these kids to play all of these masterpieces this well and memorized is astounding.
You guys restore my faith in humanity
Awesome, guys! ….Thanks, and it's great to see young cats keeping the tradition alive, and well.
Wow... Didn’t think i’d spot you here! Greetings!
Hey kent
Can people stop commenting “ you forgot” this or that. This video includes the most important parts and doesn’t have time for all the greats from the golden age of jazz
No. they forgot about singers. I'm bitching about it cause they are just as important as all the other instrumentalists mentioned. And arguably, more popular than any jazz musician. (except Louis but that's a different story)
Everyone’s important
@@Leidon00...WRONG...Not denying their importance.. Ella, Lady Day, Sarah...et al,...But All jazz stems from the instrumental. All major developments were/are instrumental
I would agree with you more if they did not leave out Bill Evans. However, they completely forgot about Bill Evans. They didn't even mention that fact that he was the creator the famous 'So What' chords. Thus, I believe they forgot one of the most influential pianists of the 60's.
Sure, but I still miss important people like Wayne Shorter, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, Lyle Mays, etc. etc. I find them just as important as (say) Mingus or Brubeck.
That was uncut play.. good job..
This is amazing!
You missed legendady jazz fusion/big band conductor and virtuoso guitar player Lil Wayne tho but i loved the vid!
Chuck magione
Holy crap this is underrated lol
The legendary creator of the Lil Wayntetonic scale
And today? Today we got Snarky Puppy. And I’m happy for that.
Froyo Netr Yeahhh!!
YEEEES
Dont miss out on JCs Djesse vol.3
Trioacapes!
I went to the same community college at some folks from Snarky Puppy. I'm so proud.
As a New Orleans native, born and bred, who was educated on this music early on, you all educated the history of Jazz so well! Cudos and applause! ⚜️
I loved the way that many of the eras were fluidly stringed together. Here’s a few ideas if y’all decide to make a sequel. I would have liked to hear about are the crossover between the black church and jazz- how they both effected each other and influenced vocalists and organ players. Also jazz prior to the 30’s Louie Armstrong- yeah he transitioned jazz from Dixieland to swing but what was Dixieland or second line? What were the differences and during what social activities were second line and brass band used? Without this it’s hard to know where Louie drew his inspirations for swing.
that transition from my favorite things to take five was so damn smooth
The enjoyment on each of their faces is a joy to see in every tune they’re playing is awesome! The way they approach this is just as much of a joy to watch too.
Well....this just renewed my faith in the outlook for the future of jazz . Absolutely awesome that these young "cats" not only appreciate the music to the point of performing it so proficiently, but that they also have such appreciation for the importance of the history of those who paved the way. Jazz is so rich in musical flavor that sometimes I wish I lived through the 40's - 50's when it was really appreciated. With all the great material like this on RUclips, I sense a big comeback happening! Fantastic work!
Love the way these fine young musicians execute some of the greatest jazz standards ever.
This year I had to write a research paper for school on any topic and I picked Louis Armstrong and it was amazing to learn more about him!!!
Even though swing is notably absent from the video, it's still a great guide through the history of jazz and it's obvious you put a lot of effort not only into the songs, but also the research for the script. Well done ;)
You guys did a great job of defining something that is hard to define... its jazz... great job.
You have gained my respect and appreciation. I am sure that playing Giant Steps wasn't an easy one but you did it so well. And I knew this was only a project but it deserves all the love.
Why this gives me old snoopy peanut stories vibes, definitely my new comfort video… thanks for uploading
I show this to my General Music classes every marking period before and after our brief study of jazz music. Well done, boys!
Really feeling that tambourine guy right about now.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see how many people are appreciating the bass, This was lit.
One of my favorite videos online thank you
Well done boys… I had a wide smile on my face throughout. Thanks…
One of the best videos I've seen on this subject! It's very informative without taking too much of the viewers time.
Thank you for this video! I used it in our homeschool music class. I love that it was done by high-schoolers.
Bassist was incredible! Thank you for keeping our(Americans) art form alive. If my father(Garvin Bushell) one of the creators of our music was still alive, he’s tip his hat to all of you! Thank you for keeping jazz alive!!!
Thank you for supplementing my mini-listening unit on Jazz for my Elementary students - so wonderful to see young players explaining a genre using different styles and playing so well - congratulations!
Very informative. I loosely knew most of this stuff through classes or experience, but to have a cohesive and entertaining piece that wraps it all up is very nice. Great work!
I love this so much! I'm drawing on the history of jazz as the main subject of my AP art portfolio and this is a really amazing, useful video for the subject. I've been singing jazz for almost seven years now so it's a huge love of mine...many thanks for this! Y'all really embody the reason why I (and many others) love jazz so much.
i've been searching for a documentary which would display the history of jazz fully not just a decade, and i'm glad i found this, it was really cool. thanks a lot
yeah guys! sounding great. brings back good memories of me and my friends jamming in our HS band room in the late 90's and all the gigs we played and trips we went on. great times. nice vid
2:06 i was so happy when i heard this! i love this piece!
Loved this. Good work!
I absolutely love this, you guys should do another one!
I really really love this video! Thank you guys so much!
Great job. nice history and explanation.
Improv is nice.
Jazz will never die because of kids like you.
Excellent.
love the percussion guy
All of you are awesome musicians!!
one of the best music related videos on youtube, great job guys
Great. Thank you guys
The mere fact that you've been exposed to this history would put a smile on a lot of people who no longer walk this earth.
These kids are awesome! It is so hard to find people to jam with. You guys have a great band with an absolutely wonderful sound!!! I hope to hear you guys live in concert one day. The music played in this video spanned eras and artists, and the information is priceless. Keep playing, learning, and sharing your knowledge and sound. Much love, respect, and many blessings to you all!!
Thanks so much. You are talented, marvelous guys with exquisite talent.
I just want a full instrumental version of this please ;3; This is so good, I'm loving it.
Nice job guys! Always great to see jazz still being remembered and played by young people. I hope you all continued in music and are now firing up the jazz bands at your respective colleges. As for the complainers, it comes with the territory. Ken Burns did a multi-part series on jazz (which I hope you've all seen) and there no end of complaining from jazz fans and musicians mostly of the "how could leave out (insert name)" variety. Play on.
Glad to see Jazz music still being appreciated among young people of this generation! Keep at it guys!
How do you like a video twice
That smooth transition into Take Five just about stole my heart. You are all very talented and skilled! Please never stop playing and growing your careers!
9:10 for Giant Steps
Excellent playing, especially the Coltrane sax parts. Drummer might want to work on his double time swing though!
toby thetaaco are you serious?? The Coltrane sax parts made me throw up . The boy plays insanely bad!
yea well your haircut makes me wanna throw up
It wasnt quite my tempo.
Som3thing Else ,oh my god 😂😂😂.
@@matveymosolov5165 agree i twistet in agony But you cant really blame him when he played coltrane.
This is AMAZING!! So much love for all of you ♥♥♥
This is great, these kids are killing it. A lot of these tunes are complex to play. Well done
I really love bebop sounds , charlie parker,dizzy gillespie era
Greatest content!
Thank you so much for making this. This is such a good piece of education in jazz. Love it.
Goodbye pork pie hat is my absolute favorite jazz standard, so much soul and passion was put into the composition and it shows
The trumpet player angered the teacher for not keeping tempo and got a chair to the back of the head
LMFAO
I would say that A Love Supreme is arguably Coltrane's most famous work. Although the two mentioned were influential as well.
Can't argue with that
Blue train too
Post Bop masterpiece
I love seeing these young players enjoying playing old Jazz! How wonderful 💕
Really appreciate this video.
During the lock down, as I watch you tube often and saw my favorite pre 1980 music only hv million or hundreds thousands of views, instead of billions as in current music, I felt myself belongs to the forgotten era.
Now I see more people still listening to nice music, and last week I was able to set up a high end hifi set to sound beautifully, i feel much better.
But still sad, that the beautiful music we often heard on radio, are no longer there.
props to the guy on the tambourine
The Real MVP lol
This is not only really well made and informative, but also an awesome list of songs and artist for me to get into jazz and start learning about it.
Thanks!
Good job. Take all the critics- from those who thought they know more and keep it for them self- as your energy to deliver more good work. Your effort to introduce jazz to next generation deserved to get a thumbs up.
you guys are amazing , thanks for the short history and music classs
I wished you guys would’ve played moanin once you got to charles mingus haha
JohnnyMartini legendary song
@@epicman7982yes but Bobby Timmons wrote it originally and it was performed during his time with the Jazz Messengers
@@brownkemosabe Not that Moanin' with the Jazz Messengers, Moanin' by Charles Mingus. Two different pieces.
Coulda handed the percussion guy in the background a bari sax and that would've been incredible lol
@@brownkemosabe 2 different songs
OMG! I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!
If I was decades younger and in school these are the kids I would be hanging out with. Great work 👍
This is great! Thank you!!!!
This is very cool. Idk why cdza stopped doing these types of videos
I had a fever until about 12:12
Quality comment
You guys are AWESOME!
Thank you so much for this informative and joyful video :)
Anyone periodically come back to this video?
I wish a had dudes like you at my school
Ay yo, y'all on that good shit.
I hope every single one of you got an A for this project lol. So incredibly well researched and rehearsed. As a music teacher myself, I’d by tearing up with pride over this presentation ❤️
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 I enjoyed this so much. Excellent!
Very good video, covering a lot of the long and detailed story of jazz. A couple of suggestions: You could have spent a little more time on Big Band music, as it was a very popular form of music in the 1930s and 1940s. Glen Miller played a critical role in developing Big Band. You ended your history too soon--free jazz and fusion deserve a mention.
greg sco and debussy :p
Chameleon and other songs were fusion, though.
greg sco Yeah, I was missing swing from this video too (it was THE most influential sub-genre of jazz that made it famous throughout the whole Western world), but covering that would've made this video twice as long I suppose :P
I would love to hear Bossa Nova
moviemagic You're always free to play a bossa nova song yourself and record it....
Cool video, you're all good musicians for your age! One note though: "Take Five" wasn't composed by Dave Brubeck, that's a common misconception. It was actuallly written by his saxxophone player Paul Desmond.
Dudes, I love this style of presentation!
This video made me happy. Great Job!
Paul desmond played alto
Yea come on guys
Was about to say this.
He also played the clarinet. He never really preformed with it but still...
Exactly! Pathetic that they said tenor sax...
Wow you guys are doing great! I love all of it! Constructive criticism: You guys should wear a theme, like suit and ties or something else. Makes you guys LOOK well put together and like you mean it. Then, you prove it when you play. Anyway, great job!
TheBigBison I dunno man. I low key like their school look. Makes me feel like I’m in class rather than being schooled you know? 😂😂
You got a point there😂 Rock on🤘🏻
TheBigBison agreed. Even just more out together or grown look would pull this together
agreed....the professionalism of the group will be greatly improved and even if they are not professionals they could easily pass as a well experienced group with the exquisite sound the produce!
Jazz isn’t formal!
This just wants me to join my high schools jazz band even more
Great video ☺️ thank you so much ❤️
