Kind of strikes a chord, you saying that it was your dad’s love of jazz that got you into listening to some of those artists that were before your time. - It was shortly after both my parents passed (less than a year between them), that I started listening to some Sinatra and Matt Monro. Two of my mum and dad’s favourites. That kind of music was never on my radar, since I mostly listen to Prog and Rock. It was purely as a form of connection with my parents, at first, but the more I delved into it the more I started to appreciate those artists. I grew up with the parents playing Matt Monro especially and it kind of felt comforting to discover that sound again, like revisiting the family home. Almost time travel.
Makes me realise there are no boundaries when it comes to music. We listen to whatever gives us the feels, be it through nostalgia and reminiscence, or discovering something new. There is always a case for keeping the old stuff alive.
It’s true. Once you started getting into Genesis and Yes, I was reminded of how much I LOVE those bands. I started re-listening and first-listening to albums and live performances I never heard before.
That's another reason for artists to want to see their music reacted to, expose new listeners and potential fans to their body of work. In this age of streaming there will be fewer physical copies to pass on when old fans die off.
My favorite performance of all time is Bob Dylan in 1976 belting out 'Idiot Wind'. It's part of the "Hard Rain" concert. Incredible.
Runner up is Patti Smith performing 'Gloria' in April 1976 on Saturday Night Live. She was mesmerizing, took Van Morrison's original and made it her own.
Gill-es-pee. Happy for your epiphany.
Aww, our little boy is growing up.
Now figure out the correct pronunciation of ‘Gillespie’. 😬
I can relate. My father was also big into jazz and although I liked some of it at the time (mainly Dave Brubeck, which he would play a lot) I was all about The Beatles, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Chicago, etc and later prog. It wasn't until later in life (and after he had passed) that I really started getting into jazz and it is bittersweet for me since I would have loved to be able to share that with him now. I would also like to thank you for keeping the music alive (not too many are reacting to bands like Gentle Giant, etc., although they have gone through a bit of a renaissance recently compared to how they basically fell into a black hole in the 80's). It just goes to show that good music is timeless.
TH-cam is a marvel in many ways when it comes to preservation of older music and live performances. Being able to go back and watch performances from favorite bands from the 70's and earlier is priceless - it certainly causes me to stay up too late way too often. There are some really great jazz performances that are preserved for posterity out there. I would highly recommend searching for performances by Bill Evans, Wes Montgomery, Thelonious Monk, Oscar Peterson, just to name a few.
I get it Justin, myself being more than "Twice" your age 66' the changes or phases we all go through in music will never change and also going back to albums/CDs you haven't listen to in years like over 20 yrs for me and even new found music to hear. My parent were long time Jazz fans, I grew up with it always on their console stereo, there are to many to mention and a lot of them I didn't know the title just the sound of them as a Yout 😌 🎺🎹🥁🎷🎵
It's always a "Sonic" journey man ! 👍🎶🎼✌ Prog on ....
"The Cure in Orange" is a concert film from 1987. When I see it, it brings me back... WAAAAYYYY back. They were at their best. Also, "Genesis Three Sides Live" from 1982, the tour for "Abacab." It was here that I first heard Genesis older tracks, though performed without Gabriel or Hackett. The "In the Cage" medley will always be my favorite thing I've heard live. ❤
Music is the gift that keeps giving. The music of the 60s and 70s will be like the classical music of the 1700s and 1800s. As we still listen to Mozart and Beethoven today, the music of the 1960s and 1970s will still be listened to in 2100 and 2200.
The older music that still "gets" to me is John Coltranes "Ole" track. It just transports me.
Keep the flames burning brightly, superstar!!!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥
Some jazz I like, some I don’t. I think Steely Dan turned a lot of people into jazz fans, and Manhattan Transfer helped a lot as well.
We are at the top of the mountain of all the music ever created. Funny thing is, even the one-hit wonders of yesteryear have emotional significance. The jazz greats of the 50s-60s must be retained. So too pieces like 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. Besides just playing good music, you are indeed keeping this alive. People have to know about Genesis, Frank Zappa -- as well as Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul and Mary. Heck -- even the Monkees!
Thank you for sharing a deeper knowledge of the path you have chosen --- keeping it alive! Just don't let it go to your head! 😜😜
I started playing alto sax in in 5th grade and was recruited into the Junior High jazz band later that year. I was lucky and blessed to see Dizzy for free!!! at a park in Sacramento in the 80s when I was 19 or 20 years old, with families hanging out BBQing and dancing, kids playing … just a magical and wonderful day I will never forget. Dizzy was so chill and real and fun and still killing it musically. Also, I took a roll of photos that day only to find that the film was loaded wrong and everything was overexposed. It was meant to be experienced and not documented by me (though the local newspaper did document it).
I like the videos of Roy Smeck playing ukulele in the 1920’s. It shows that finger-tapping was around well before the 1970’s. Also, Stanley Jordan’s rendition of Autumn Leaves played on two guitars is amazing.
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch. Incredible album
Sometimes I think of music that's on its way to being maybe entirely passed by/ lost when seeing things that have fallen apart in the present. (Small shops seem to be having a very hard time today, for instance, but then if you read back a bit or reach back a bit, you see others that went their way only "yesterday".)
It wasn't long ago that everything was over the counter, everywhere. If you bought sweets as a kid, you'd go to a shop with huge bottles of sweets on top of a glass counter (kind of place you'd only remember the sweets from if you only went there as a kid). In back of beyond places (which South Africa has always tended to have quite a lot of - with a milder version of the country's notorious history being that it was simply behind the times - by a few decades - which has a grain of truth in it, if not the entire bagful. )
There were a few of those old "sweet shops" (to a kid) when I was a child. All dark inside and even smelling a bit "old". They're gone, like the tenors of the 20's are gone.
In yet more remote places there were old, dark shops "full of everything". Bicycles here, playing cards there, animal feeds, rolls of wire, and all sorts of small stuff, in a place that looked like chickens maybe roosted there, with a shady front stoep with its wall partly worn away - sort of part barn, part shop. All it needed was for someone to light the oil lamp so one could see inside.
Even in town the Victorian type of shop survived a long time - might still exist in some of the country towns. One Indian Muslim family at all the counters - all ten of them, with all the small things under glass, and the bigger items (like bicycles - generally they are/ were cycle stores according to their signs - but cycle stores that rented a part of the back of the store to a Hindu guy who could sell sinful music, and a workshop you could go in through at the back of the store, where bicycles, and maybe a few last relics of the treddle sewing machines were being repaired or maintained.)
Ah! We had Zulu Santas at Muslim furniture stores every Christmas, jiving the latest modern Zulu dance moves out front of the store next to the very loud speakers. And next door, the rival, and rival songs, all played loud like the big gestures of the dancers. I don't know why it was the furniture stores that had this sales technique. Always felt a bit crazy, and sort of dorkily cool, too.
That music subsided, retreated, looked like it was being lost, for a while. The kids got too cool for this "rural" stuff or something. Everything had to be American, but the very worst that America has to offer. Menacing, boastful stuff celebrating things like making women into something degraded.
That can sound good enough at times, and if you hand the formula to Zulus you'll get back a party often, but the old music was much more beautiful. Happy ending. Looks like there's been a bit of a revival of this these days.
And the thread that ties this back to your cloth? It takes some individuals to spend at least some of their music time remembering, by going back and living in that old music again.
There will always be a certain percentage of people for whom the "music" they have been exposed to leaves them wanting. It's importanr that they can find other sources and be introduced to the timeless beauty that music provides. You may not realize it, but you are one of those sources.
One particular clip that I adore and should be cherished is Big Bill Broonzy playing three songs on a porch in 1957, his voice is quiet and one of his more famous songs 'Hey Hey' is just an instrumental, Bill had throat cancer and was due to have a operation a day or two later.... He died August 1958... I love performances from the 40s, 50s, & 60s, sometimes only a mimed clip is available, but they should still be cherished.... Spot on JP...
I think it's true that you keep the music alive. Especially by introducing it to younger listeners who usually wouldn't take the time to explore for themselves.
And it's also apt that you should point this out by using jazz as an example. I mean, the Charles Mingus clip from 1964 is from Stockholm (where I'm from)
and at that time, jazz was quickly falling out of fashion in the US thanks to the rock 'n roll explosion. But in Scandinavia (and France) jazz was as popular
as it had ever been, and a lot of cool jazz cats discovered that they were far more popular in Europe than they ever were in America.
In other words, it could be argued that Europeans kept jazz alive during this period. And now you, an American, keep jazz alive for the new generations.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter who keeps music alive as long as someone does it. And the more people who do it, the better shape music will be in moving forward.
🌸 I wasn't raised with jazz I discovered it in my own maturity as well,
but I have grown to really really love it and my favorite jazz artist is Miles Davis
I once gave my father a cassette of the album Crann Ull by Clannad to hear on my headphones. He listened to the album, and said he enjoyed it.
Every time I play this music I think of it.
❤
Around the late '80s I got tired of where music was going. There is much under loved music of several genre from 1920s through '50s. They are much of the foundation of what you hear today. You mentioned a criterion of music which takes me back in time. There are some albums which take me back which I will not suggest because they will have me in tears.
Glenn Miller Moonlight Serenade. Way before my time, but it stirs something in me. People should still be listening to this 100 years from now.
Small point, but it's Dizzie Gillespie, not Dizzie Gillepsie 🙂
But important 😊
Hey Justin! I totally understand what you're saying. As you know i have seen YES over two hundred times. Always loved it when Jon talked to the audience. Whether it was a personal story or just telling the crowd how they recorded the next song. I would listen like Jon was just talking to me! It just made it that much more magical. Once again Justin thanks for keeping the music alive! You rock my friend!!!👍🎵🎼🎶😎
Ge-Les-pee
(not Ge -lep-see)
Sorry about your dad.
I love classic jazz. Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane… I’m old but still too young to have seen these masters live.
I started to go to concerts of Classic rock and folk rock in the late ‘60s (high school) on, and everything that followed -punk, post punk, new wave…
Oops clicked send before finishing. I continue:
I did get to see Dizzy. And a favorite album (a romantic “go to” when I was in college) is John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman.
I was lucky to hear Hartman in concert not long before he died.
I strongly recommend you listen to the Hartman/Coltrane album.
Hartman’s voice blends with Coltrane -so gorgeous.
Please treat yourself or do a reaction. Lush Life.
anyone on this page know what I’m talking about? Who knows that album?
Maybe I’ll add a link here.
Why do I overall listen and looking at channels like yours?
Firstly because many times I once again experienced my own first joy over a piece or song. Second, fun to see someone being surprised. Third, reactions including some sort of analysis or comments with information - to learn something more. And finally, just this you have just experienced. I try to suggest music that is great - but unknown. Because it is local (=unknown in the US), old, odd or something similar. It usually fails, because most reactors wants high scores, songs that are well known. A long time ago I mailed you with some suggestions. One was "Gunnars dilemma" with Fläsket Brinner. A piece unknown outside Sweden, but so popular in Sweden in the early 70s that one popular radio program about pop and rock music started with the first seconds of this song. Instrumental jazzrock. I know many such songs but this will be forgotten unless somebody spread it to new young ears. To my knowledge nobody has reacted so far.
While not an "old" performance from my past..I did like watching Jimi Hendrix's - A Band of Gypsys - Live Video.. The Video is is not very good but oh man, the performances were touching to me. I have the "Band of Gypsys" album of course and still play it fairly often. Timeless music for me anyway. I think the very first time I watched the video is was in Black and White.
Breakfast at Epiphanies. High, the memory carries on, while the moments start to linger. You are keeping good music and your dear father alive with these sharing moments. Cool to see Dizzy Gillespie. Some old chums and I took a Boston Harbor boat ride thingy, with drinks and Dizzy Gillespie, and his puffy ass cheeks, and heaven-tilting horn. He was far better than I ever was, though I tried during school years. A lefty, I should have chosen French Horn, but ain't that alert. My papa liked the jazz too, and I know they would have been friends.
I'm considerably older than you but you have a wider taste in music than I have. Out of the many videos of yours that I have enjoyed I especially liked your reaction to Gilgamesh- One End More/ Phil's Little Dance/ Worlds Of Zin from two years ago. I had never heard of this obscure band but enjoyed your reaction/review very much indeed. Cheers.
It’s Dizzy Gillespie not Gillepsie. 😜
Yes, you are very much a cog between distant generations.
The Jokers, Sabre Song
2 minutes, Black and white.
Hi Justin,
I’ve used that phrase many times. I appreciate reactors listening/watching to music of my generation; Carpenters/Heart/Elton/Beatles/Boz etc. This is why I’m such a nooge regarding Tori, she is a living breathing embodiment of that music, in the now. She’s actively keeping that music alive. How can I not? You keep doing what you do. You are on the right path. Peace and be well and 🙏 for your Pop.
Joe
Thank you JP.
It's only because of my dad that I know who King Pleasure is. I just love his album with Annie Ross. I'm assuming you've heard it. If you haven't, go listen to it, Justin. You'll love it. I don't think I'd know much about jazz music though, if it wasn't for my dad; John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk. Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, just to name a few. Did you know that Keith Emerson played with Oscar Peterson? Keith was the only rock keyboard player that got Oscar's attention. My dad played both the Saxophone and the Clarinet, and he had a metal Clarinet that looked and sounded very cool. Wish I still had it.
YES, great to hear this. Now, if we can just get as many clips on Dizzy or Mingus as there are on Taylor Swift videos 😑
So many great jazz blues music try Gil Scott-Heron, Weather Report, Pat Metheny just a few greats
Not laughing. Your musical journey is double purpose. And that is cool.
In late 2020, Dreams by Fleetwood Mac experienced a widespread resurgence in popularity as a result of a viral TikTok video created by Nathan Apodaca. The song subsequently re-entered national music charts and also entered the Spotify and Apple Music charts in certain countries
You better believe you and others like you are helping to keep the music alive!
That's kind of why i feel modern music is total shite.... there is no life to it.....
HEY JUSTIN! 😊AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, CHARLES DID AN ALBUM WITH JONI ON JONI'S 79 ALBUM ( MINGUS ) 👍ONE PERFORMANCE THAT I'LL ALWAYS CHERISH AND LOVE WAS ( GLEN CAMPBELL ( WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE )💯JUSTIN, YOU NEED TO CHECK THAT OUT SOMETIME FOR SURE!
