To open with a shocking UN-ATTRIBUTED opinion that "Jazz music is revenge" is disrespectful to its dedicated creators and musicians. Unacceptable and untrue.
This was a really annoying documentary to watch. I love jazz and am a big fan of documentaries. For a short documentary, why have a four minute instrumental introduction that is tedious to watch and offers no info except painting after painting of nondescript jazz regalia? For a genre that has so much life and character, why have the most benign and mundane narrator? The narrator sounds so mechanical that the lively photos in the back don’t jive at all. When the roots of jazz are being mentioned and getting into some actual detail, the whole plot line drops and it goes into a random assortment of photos reminiscent of the awkward beginning. When it finally start talking about some specific players in the different movements it says a broad idea about what happening and a handful of artists associated with that movement without highlighting anything that those artists brought to the table to make them stand out. I understand that it’s a short documentary and wanted to keep a time restraint. But those for awkward minutes at the beginning could have be used to highlight some of the big players. Overall, thanks for making a documentary. But good lord, put some life into it when you make another
On the +side the intro is a lesson on walking Bass. The rest of the doco sounded like a school essay without examples, but he may get the young ones interested in the history.
The beauty of jazz is it’s a truly American art form, and although deeply sophisticated and complex it’s absolutely a working class sound. It’s for everybody and that’s the true nature of America, we’re a country of such diverse sections but we all live together making it up as we go along.
Jazz is originated by Black people of North America, many dont want to give the credit to the Black's, people always like to push the Black's to the side.
i think people don’t mind giving credit to blacks. i’m a black man. and i love giving credit to blacks for what they accomplished but jazz isn’t black. jazz was a black man’s way to unite the world all colors and they did. jazz is loved by all its roots are in black and european culture different ideas taken to create jazz. it’s cool it’s slick and at a time it was black. but it’s not anymore and we need to respect what it was and what it is today. my problem with people always bringing up jazz is black is that it wasn’t created for that. maybe at the first instance it was something for black peoplento enjoy but as it caught ears i believe players realized that they could do something greater not just for the black community. i’ve seen videos and snippets of multi races coming together to celebrate jazz and blues. it’s cool and like i said i’m black but im or full black i’m about 55% white mexican tongan indian runs through my blood as well and for me i see jazz as something that connects every part of my heritage to one but we should give credit where credit is due. blacks made it as far as we know and there are more great black artist in jazz then in any other category besides rap/hip hop. but i think we need to see jazz for what it is as a moving form an evolving art that is for the people. those guys wanted equality not to divide themselves. they didn’t care if you were black or white mexican or asian if you liked jazz they wanted you involved they didn’t turn you away. when it comes to the black history in jazz my favorite part is how it brought ethnic groups closer together
This is really a great discussion on jazz With jazz music it started gave the idea of how deep jazz is.. I was one who troubling with the history of jazz... You made me clear ❤🌍
The banjo configuration was also found in China, Mesopotamia, and many other civilizations other than Africa. Drums of course can be found in Egypt and places that predate African use. Most of the other instruments used in jazz were developed or invented in Europe - sax, clarinet, violin, piano - as well as the brass trumpets (mentioned in the bible's Old Testament), trombone (which started out as a non-slide horn), cymbals (also mentioned in the bible). The song structure which we eventually called jazz plus the use of chords, as well as instrument interplay was developed in Europe, not Africa. Right now one can hear the primitive music still played in Africa - there are virtually no native recordings that sound anything like ragtime, 1920s jazz, 1930s swing or 1940s bop. Black culture did bring a soul to jazz but it hardly invented it.
Listen you sound dumb ASF black people brought this type of melody to America not the Caucasian not the Chinese and not the Egyptians, secondly drums weren't invented in Egypt dumbass. And the banjo is a modern form of many ancient West African guitars. Oh and the instruments you're talking about those weren't use to play jazz or any blues. They were used to play classical music but with the help of black people it gave birth to a new genre. And if it wasn't for BLACK ppl you wouldn't be talking or hearing anything about jazz since they gave birth to the genre
My compliments on your novel, Readers'-Digest version of a long, complex and subtle story. Considerable, competent editing is required, though, to increase its accuracy and overall value. (I'm happy to assist, if you'd like.)
On a 17 minute video that's supposed to cover the history of such a huge subject, you have 4 minutes of opening titles! Then lots of repetition and clichés, and photos not matching the commentary etc. And the 1920s is not a century, which means 100 years. I think you meant the Jazz Age. I'm sure it was an honest effort but it has way too many problems.

Feel the same bro, the beginning is too dilatory that could be cut into 1 minutes or less

Yeah its some ai narrator. Recognize the voice.
This was painful to watch, I agree.
This is typical of America always Some one White to explain Black Culture I’s can’t even b black by myself no more lawdy lawdy 😂😂😂
Nope - jazz is not revenge for slavery

Jazz is not American, it’s African/black. Y’all trippin
@@Kc-qe5dv Absolutely but it came from African slaves in America.
@@Kc-qe5dv Its African American no one in Africa use to play jazz.
Lol it's crazy how they leave out the African American part unless it's negative.
@@flora-3603 nah you crazy
Fantastic Documentary about music, thanks
Very Good documentary! Thanks
Very interesting documentary about Jazz, Thanks 🙂

Amazing
Informative movie
Have you got the pictures of buddy bolden and kid ory the wrong way round
Good catch..yes they do
@7:00 jazz is not African
9:29 Did someone skip time?

9:15 forced migrants smh. No, they were chattel slaves
Me just discovering jazz: this looks like a good video to gain more understanding of this genre of music.
Video: Today's subject... Slavery
Is this AI?
Narration gets cut off...
The person who produced this documentary doesn’t know a thing about documentaries
thats because the script was also AI generated
Is this video a school project? The text is machine generated, no supporting references. Africa is not a country, neither is America..
👍🏻
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Só queria que esse documentário fosse mais longo 😢
Ok nice documentary but for my taste it does not describe accurately enough.
Rocks
That statement in the beginning is nonsense.
american harmony? it was european harmonies...
Nothing European about Jazz. It's black music
@@Stewartaj2010 Did you watch the video even?
@@petarkrivitsky4436 my statement stands
@@petarkrivitsky4436 yes,, it's white washed like everything else in America
@@Stewartaj2010
True
mdevl juz nit noo yorc n urmr
What utter nonsense.....I want my 5mins back
AI documentary? This is terrible. Shame.
This is just terrible, and I say this as a jazz history prof
thats because this video was made using AI
whats the intro song?
I don’t know , who knows, nobody knows.
