You are spot on. Played classical first. Now jazz. Jazz isn’t really more free but you HAVE the freedom to alter the music with improvisation.
freedom to find your voice in the music
This is so true. I started playing classical flute, as an adult. Learned my scales major minor arpeggios etc. my job was to play the music they way Mozart or others wanted it to be played. I love jazz. My friend this past year gave me his 1958 LaBlanc clarinet. He was a jazz clarinetist for years I love it!! Bought a Buffet C R13. Jazz is a whole different animal and it seems no one can really teach you to improvise 😂. Well I’m getting to know my clarinet , it’s become my best friend, or enemy. And the freaking reed🤣 I’ve gone synthetic. I listen and watch all your videos and I listen to as many jazz musicians as I can. Happy jazzing !!❤
Thank you so much for always supporting my content and career! Learning to improvise is a process that takes years to become familiar with and ultimately takes a lifetime to master. Enjoy the process, its the best part.
@@GregoryAgid thank you Greg!!! I love to practice. It fills my soul 🙏🏻🎼🎵🎵
This is eye opening. I think some of my teachers of jazz emphasized the how over the what and why, and that slowed my growth in improvising not getting enough theory early on. It was about jazz tone and scoops and swinging eighths... There is certainly some how in jazz just not as much as classical. This how vs what and why view could really have helped me 20 years ago. Luckily for me I've found youtubers in the last decade that really filled in a lot of gaps of harmony for me. ... I think as a youth jazz enthusiast I was looking for how to execute jazz and getting limited results not knowing I should have looked more for what and why. ... Getting there in my own time.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I love to hear this. I remember going to a concert with a fellow clarinetist friend of mine. She was an incredible classically trained musician. I remember being amazed by Debussy's use of harmony and texture and she turned to me and commented about how flawlessly the clarinet players articulated a passage. I noticed that our musical training had instinctively trained our ears to observe different aspects of the music!
This is a favourite topic of mine. What you get from improvisation is an intimate knowledge of how music works - yes, you need to know scales and chords and have an understanding of harmony etc, but most importantly you need to be aware of the aspect of form and how music tells a story i.e. motivic development.....Re classical musicians improvising, there are a lot more these days even though it's not a fully mainstream activity. One of the best experts on that subject is the pianist Robert Levin, and there are many videos on YT of him talking about it. Re the phrase "good enough for jazz", I agree it's dubious, but it's actually born of the understanding that there's a certain looseness that you need to have when it comes improvisation, so my feeling is that it didn't come from a negative place....
I appreciate this amazing comment. I agree with so much of this. I am going to check out Rover Levin!
@@GregoryAgid Thanks, Robert is an amazing person, with an encyclopedic knowledge of classical music and the ability to improvise in the styles of Mozart and Beethoven.....
This is a brilliant video, Gregory. You have nicely articulated a number of points, which I think cut to the essence of what we aim to achieve when we approach music. If youngsters are taught to think about the two distinct approaches in this way, it could help them make choices and appreciate the distinct attributes of the jazz & classical idioms and what they can offer. UK fan 👏
Yes! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I think it's important to zoom out and appreciate music as a means of connection and perpetuating the human spirit. I think understanding that each 'genre' has its own standards and practices can help us appreciate the differences rather than judge them by the standards of a different style.
Merci Greg! A very enlighting discussion
Thank you for watching!
Oh. And I listen a lot , to Miles Davis.
Miles is the best!
Great!!
Thank you for watching!
