#BringBackFatFactMan
michaelshowgenio Every time I look at my original post, I think it says "BringBackFatMan". Oh well, either way my point stands.
Take The A Train must be a really influential piece, I think it's been in half of these videos so far. It deserves it.
the guitar player has to wait for 50 years later to play
Sergio Ríos Campos 😂
Awowkwok
Of course because he came with the wrong guitar. The Fender Strat was not invented until 1954 and due to it's sound has no place in straight ahead or classic jazz. I'm not anti-Strat, I own two of them but I would never use one in a truly jazz context.
Frank Frank : A Tele? Yes!
A Strat? No way!
NOOOO WHERES THE ORIGINAL FACT MAN?
he had a stroke
Ikr
Gol Den strike
He needed a sick day
Everytime a video comes out I spend like an hour rewatching all your other videos! Thanks for the great stuff! :D
What a true artist, and lover of Jazz Kris Bowers is. I'm lost for words.
I was waiting for Cory Henry in the "contemporary geniuses" part.
wastagwaga Same here dudes a freaking genius. my favorite right now
and jacob collier!!!
Kinda disappointing that those are the first names you all come up with to be honest.... Cory Henry and Jacob Collier are quite skilled in their own right but there are so many other modern pianists who are 100x the players/musicians they are and don't get that kind of recognition. Cats like Aaron Parks, Taylor Eigsti, Sullivan Fortner, Tigran Hamasyan and so many more play circles around those guys. It's not even close.
Zayphe I wouldn't say they could "play circles" around cory henry... you should study what hes doing with jazz improv and rhythm in songs like gotcha now and lingus and also his mastery of the organ and gospel styles. to add to your list, robert glasper and kamasi washington
21 21, you're certainly entitled to your own opinion, but I wholeheartedly believe that the players I mentioned are in a separate league altogether. Also, the fact that you seriously mentioned Kamasi Washington as someone who even comes close to hanging with those guys is completely ridiculous. Kamasi Washington doesn't know how to play jazz, plain and simple. He does his own thing and writes some cool shit, but as far as a jazz saxophonist goes he is extremely limited in many ways...technically, rhythmically and harmonically. Robert Glasper on the other hand can definitely play his ass off.
SWEEET! NEW CDZA! SO EXCITED!
Great "show & tell" concept....educational, inspirational, and entertaining! The pianist, keyboardist, keytarist, Kris Bowers is AWESOME!!! A credit to the evolution of Jazz!!
This is the best video done yet. No one really appreciates or understands Jazz and it's influence in contemporary music. Thank you for this!
You guys should compile a playlist and post it in the description so people can after watching the video listen to to the full songs!
TheRealAntBell and they have it now. My spotify playlist got more cultured. Thx
Yo this video is informing and entertaining as hell
Beyond brilliant...excellent work.
wow i am so mesmerized by this. You gentlemen did a wonderful job, thanks for this.
Love these videos for some reason...
Seeing a new cdza video in my feed made my morning.
Love what you guys are doing with this series!
Very well thought out and very well done.
I missed Oscar Peterson in this bunch.
and Aziza Mustafa :D
and Tigran Hamasyan
Probably couldn't emulate his style
His style of playing was very clean and bouncy, but while being an amazing musician he hardly wrote his own music or brought nuance to the instrument IMO. He had a genius for taking existing styles like stride and whatnot and emulating them to the best of their ability however. While Peterson is a great pianist, I wouldn't call him an innovator in the same sense as Herbie Hancock or Bill Evans.
@@frederikmarohn6358 They included some just for their virtuosity though. Even though he wasn't an innovator he was still incredible and definitely worth mentioning.
Another fantastic History Of by the CDZA!! I was surprised to see Medeski, Martin, and Wood overlooked, but was REALLY STOKED to be reminded of Ahmad Jamal! I gotta go home now, dig in the archives and pull out some old albums...
Thanks a lot for this very interresting video. It brought a whole new light on a lot of music I have been loving for years.
Great job. Awesome pianist.
He is an immensely talented pianist. He puts the feeling into it.
NIce! You guys are back! I love these videos so much!
Also, kudos to your playing skills!
Been listening to jazz for 8-10 years now. But there were still some new ones for me, which is great. Thanks :)
Really enjoyed this!
Great way to start the day, thanks for that

I'm always sad this didn't keep going. You deserved more views than you got.

It's not the same. The new Fact Man doesn't have the same soul.
Does he have at least one?

Could say he sold it for his talent.... soulless soulless talent

I was shocked that Earl Hines wasn't in the list...But I figured that there are so many;We could be the rest of our lives talking about all of them...Great vid.
I learned a bunch.
Wonderful
Keep being great, cdza!
Fabulous job wonderful pockets of history would like to hear more about thus group especially the pianist .so glad Jason Moran included
Every person complaining who has been not included so I would nominate Mary Lou Williams ,Danilo Perez and Herbie N.
thank you so much!mulgrew miller was not on my radar!thank you!
Excellent
Dude! what about Latin-jazz a HUGE part of Jazz history.
nice compilation
Bravo bravo bravo!!!
Excellent ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Bravo!
Nice!!
Awesome
OSCAR PETERSON ???
art tatum
Good stuff
Wtf where to is Oscar PETERSON- THE GREATEST PIANIST EVER LIVE
Lucas Walters Fully agree! The god himself!
Nothing against Oscar but to say the greatest piano player ever - some competition. Art Tatum- not to mention guys like Beethoven- Listen to the Arietta 2nd movement of his last piano Sonata Opus 111. from 1822- he was already getting funky.
How on earth can any pianist casually skip over OSCAR PETERSON??! ...and include some contemporary non-entities instead?! Baffling.
❤Fantastic ❤
Professor Longhair!!! Hahaha yeah Kris that was amazing
Love that April in Paris is in here
Aloha CDZA,
*HERBIE HANCOCK'S ROCKIT 1983!!!!! ahhh.. back in da day... ;-D*
But seriously an *amazing group of musicians!* To those who don't play an instrument, I don't know if one could truly appreciate the fact that you blended decades of jazz into one arrangement... that takes major talent! Isn't it interesting that each era had it's own 'sound/style'? It was an honor to hear... now all you need is an ukulele and steel guitar! ;-) *Excellent work! Well done, and thank you.*
Aloha 'oe and God bless,

Oh... The "Fact Man"... Hilarious to look at but very educational! *I SUBSCRIBED!*
Fact man is looking a little pale... and his acting is wooden.
still gave me a wood
Fact man needs some SHOES! Or, you know, toes.
Lost a bit of weight, too.
yeah he's not looking as fact as he used to.
+SnappyK9 He's gotten quite a bit taller too…
