Louis Armstrong to me played with such joy and freedom and always makes me feel happy and smile when I hear him play his trumpet.. what a great gift he gave us through his music, thank you x peace and love x
2022 this conversation is still is one of the best on Real music. As a child the song ‘Hello dolly ‘ was some kind of magic vibe for me. Maybe first music I ever heard. Leah Tunkara
It could’ve been because of Wynton’s input, too. I’ve heard that Wynton believed, especially when he was younger, that guitar was not a legitimate jazz instrument.
I’ve only seen snippets of this series I’m saving up to buy it but that makes me sad. I’ve always felt that Jazz guitar was very important to the development of rock and roll even more so than honky Tonk guitar playing and delta blues. Jazz guitar in my opinion seems to have a greater connection to rock and roll than Robert Johnson like so many claim. So it’s unfortunate it’s not heavily featured in this series
With creative influence from Wynton Marsalis, the documentary is going to be more of an purist view of jazz. Even more so with jazz critics like the late Stanley Crotch and Nat Hentoff. Still a great documentary.
I think that's more or less the conventional wisdom on the show. Burns also tends to treat bebop in the narration like it's some kind of renegade outgrowth from the real jazz, which is apparently Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. They showed nearly as many pictures of signs in bebop joints saying "No Dancing Allowed!" as they showed stock footage clips of World War II. Personally I think their whole take is pretty square, and a bit bizarre, and hasn't generally aged well.
I agree. Not to diminish the importance of Louis Armstrong to the history of jazz, but I can tell that Ken Burns is a huge fan. It seems like Armstrong was as important to jazz as Abraham Lincoln was to the Civil War.
I can’t get into jazz fusion, just based off of my taste it seems like a separate entity. Like gospel hip hop. Only roughly related to gospel music at best.😅
I understand that Jazz is American, but it cannot truthfully be said it's the only American creation. Blues was too, and it gave birth to Rock N Roll but with no Blues, there is no Jazz.
Patrick B i dont disagree with you chris jazz and blues both grew simultaneously they are intertwined jazz however springed from african drumbeats from west africa and the congo basin region transplanted by enslaved africans were as blues originated from african enslaved peoples interpretation of christian hymns
I'm only gonna say this once... Jazz is NOT the story of advanced harmony. Jazz is the story of Sex, Drugs, Love, Vice, Virtue, Darkness, the Light, Honesty, Lies, Discovery AND Ignorance, and the limits of Humanity. If you can't come to terms with THIS, you can't play jazz.

18:22 I love Wynton's admiration and appreciation. "This guy gets it," is what I see. Beautiful collaboration and storytelling.
I've seen him on a jazz series by Ken Burns he does a great job with the information 👏.
No doubt.
Best Interview EVER, I wish Netflix would put it back on PERMANANTLY
Holy fuck this Ken Burns guy does not mess around.
Man, I watched this and i was mesmerized. Beautiful television.
I was too I wanted more episodes .

Wynton is a blessing to music. And Ken is very good at his trade as well.
This may be the best interview ever conducted…!
Oh my God! Such passion , great story tellers. Filmmakers. Leah Tunkara
Ken Burns head is floating in mid-air.
Wrong color shirt. Can we get some lighting over here?
Thanks for this channel some really great content. Will donate to Patreon soon.
When you gain another geniuses admiration.
That was a good episode.
I got the box set jazz on film
It’s totally inspiring you can’t cover it all only snap shots!!
I have it as well a friend gave it to me.
Thats some passioned words, very powerful!
Wynton is proud of Ken. Very Cool.
I'm thinking he was thinking, "that mthrfkr knows" 😂
“Joyous invention!”
Anyone notice Ken Burns complete omission of jazz guitar in this series? It makes me wonder if Mr. Burns ever listened to Wes Montgomery.
It could’ve been because of Wynton’s input, too. I’ve heard that Wynton believed, especially when he was younger, that guitar was not a legitimate jazz instrument.
They did actually do a segment on Django Reinhardt, but it was fairly short.

I feel like Charlie always talks first, then thinks second. 19:30 - Ken spilling a profound thing to him... Charlie: Where'd you find that footage?
How could he not include the great Erroll Garner in this documentary about jazz
The fact they spend one episode on 40 years of jazz history and 9 on the previous 60 was ridiculous. Jazz fusion was practically swept under the rug

"Fusion being new?" Are you joking? Bitch's Brew is more than 50 years old.

I'm so grateful for those two guys. Charlie Rose is douchecicle prick but damn I love me some Ken and Wynton!
good on Wynton for doing this crazy show. Charlie Rose is a jerk. Wynton is a great teacher.
great......all Burns is "must see"
I understand that Jazz is American, but it cannot truthfully be said it's the only American creation. Blues was too, and it gave birth to Rock N Roll but with no Blues, there is no Jazz.
I agree. No Blues, then no Jazz or Rock N Roll either. No God, then no evil/suffering either....but that's part of long story.

@@taowaycamino4891 Do you understand the difference between "blues" and "jazz blues" or "a blues"?

Jazz is blues and blues is jazz.
Did I miss something, or did they gloss over Oscar Peterson? Shameful.

the ken burns in as ass hat... just another matrix narrative
