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.
Great "show & tell" concept....educational, inspirational, and entertaining! The pianist, keyboardist, keytarist, Kris Bowers is AWESOME!!! A credit to the evolution of Jazz!!
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...
Amazing! You guys are great! I love how you introduce and pay respect to these ionic artists! You schooled me! Hats off to all your endeavors and best wishes from the Carolinas!
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.
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.
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.
Kristopher, I knew your autograph was going to be priceless one day! That's why I got mine real early...when you were just a 15 year old kid! I'm so proud of your educational and musical accomplishments. You are among the best, my friend. May God continue to bless you and facilitate you with all that your heart desires. (Smile) Your former NAACP ACTSO Music Coordinator! Go get em' Kris! Bobette Jamison-Harrison
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.
Starting this video, I knew we'd see Herbie a couple of times, but not this many :p To be honest during the early 00's, it seemed like Jazz was a little stagnant, but it's picking up again, with pianists like Kris, and singers like Gregory Porter are doing a wonderful job at bringing Jazz back. Thank you for making a great video :)
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, - AuntyKeli Oh... The "Fact Man"... Hilarious to look at but very educational! *I SUBSCRIBED!*
This video was awesome and super informative. The only thing is that the "vocoder" was a talk box, even on an instrument that has a vocoder built in. Loved the video though and amazing job!
#BringBackFactMan
#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.
What a true artist, and lover of Jazz Kris Bowers is. I'm lost for words.
the guitar player has to wait for 50 years later to play
Sergio Ríos Campos 😂
Awowkwok

Frank Frank : A Tele? Yes!
A Strat? No way!
Everytime a video comes out I spend like an hour rewatching all your other videos! Thanks for the great stuff! :D
So far this videos still being the best for explaining jazz history. No other videos yet explaining as detailed as this
Great job. Awesome pianist.
He is an immensely talented pianist. He puts the feeling into it.
NOOOO WHERES THE ORIGINAL FACT MAN?
he had a stroke
Ikr
Gol Den strike
He needed a sick day
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!
SWEEET! NEW CDZA! SO EXCITED!
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
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...
Been listening to jazz for 8-10 years now. But there were still some new ones for me, which is great. Thanks :)
I TRULY ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE HISTORY OF JAZZ PIANO!THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE!
If you're really interested in Jazz history, check out the Ken Burns documentary series "Jazz". Amazing!
There are no words to describe how happy I am to have found your group. Bravo Brava and skiddly wah wah..sorry couldn't help myself. Play On!
Seeing a new cdza video in my feed made my morning.
wow i am so mesmerized by this. You gentlemen did a wonderful job, thanks for this.
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.
Amazing effort to co-ordinate all that in one take - and educational too, despite the kids having a hissy fit below - really appreciated that :)
What happened to this channel? This was my absolute favorite back in the day! You guys are amazing! Please come back!❤
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…
Amazing! You guys are great! I love how you introduce and pay respect to these ionic artists! You schooled me! Hats off to all your endeavors and best wishes from the Carolinas!
These are great commentary on how music has changed and yet stayed the same
required listening for every student of jazz! spectacular!
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.
Finally!!! A new episode!!!!
I am so glad the included 80s Herbie in this video. "Rockit" is my jam.
Loving the Herbie!
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!!!

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

Great, Great , Great job !

Great job everybody!
Nice! Missing Mrs. Coltrane though. She was amazing and truly an influence to many
Wonderful
really nice job indeed!
Incredible
Excellent ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Excelente....gracias.
Your videos are PERFECTTT
Would love to see a history of punk rock/hardcore!
Finally new video!!!
Always good.
Bravo bravo bravo!!!
Super guys, thanks!
BRAVO!🎶
Excellent teaching and entertaining moment for all...regardless of prior piano jazz knowledge. Thanks.
:-)
You've got them all down pat!
As a pianist, my favourite would have to be Bill Evans. His light touch was just like none other...
Very cool!
It's not the same. The new Fact Man doesn't have the same soul.
Does he have at least one?
Zen L the old one did
Could say he sold it for his talent.... soulless soulless talent
You should do history of Jazz Saxophone or just Saxophone in general!
Excellent
I LOVE YOU GUYS
5:33 you mean quartal harmony? cus I’m pretty sure chords were around before Tyner came along
Very nice!!!
CDZA is awesome.
