Enjoyed this one tremendously. Looking forward to you covering Columbia/CBS Records’ long history in jazz recordings (including Benny Goodman’ famous 1938 Carnegie Hall concert, which when you think about all the circumstances regarding why it was recorded and the delay in its release, could be considered the 1st official bootleg - a sort of “Basement Tape” of social, er, jazz music).

All the videos in this series were done to teach a university course. Time constraints limited the number of artists that were covered. I did cover the Carnegie Hall concert in the episode on Benny Goodman.

@@chasesanborn Cool. I probably have seen the one on Benny but I’m the kind that will rewatch some of these because they are informative and interesting to watch.

Love these videos, they're incredibly insightful, and make jazz history quite accessible. It seems incredible that all that groundbreaking music was happening at the same time in 1959, makes me wonder if we'll ever see something like it again. Please keep making these - I'm a trumpet player from the UK and I always share your videos with my friends in the jazz band I run at Uni. Thanks Chase!

I'm glad to hear that and thanks for your comment Ben. Whether we'll ever see a 1959 again seems unlikely given how much time has already passed.

Yeah the series is back

It never went away, just dragged its feet because of, you know, life. :)

You can track U.S. history by our art - jazz is a great example of that, especially with 1959.

Certainly the history of jazz dovetails and intersects with US history over the last 100+ years.

Wow, a jazz video essay that is actually in touch with a modern perception of the music and not just some rehashed jazz academia bullshit. Great video, thank you!

I hope that a slightly unique aspect of the jazz history series on my channel (which was originally a university course for jazz majors) is that it is presented from the perspective of a jazz musician, not a trained historian. As I say in the description for the playlist, that is a disclaimer as much as a descriptor. I think the day of rehashed academia of any sort is gone thanks to AI.

I'm happy about that too.

I'm a contemporary musician / composer. I began teaching myself composition and style by learning dixieland classics. I always thought bebop was kind of pointless self indulgence but now I'm older and more sophisticated as a muaician i've grown to love bebop

What a an awesome video! Liked & subscribed. Do you have a book (or books) on bop and its offshoots which you would recommend for the lay listener?

Also, 'Jazz Masters of the 40's' aka 'Masters of Bebop' by Ira Gitler is excellent 1st hand accounts.

Ever since I was taught music theory,performing arts, and composing as a teenager, ive thought I hated jazz but it turns out I just don't like bebop or anything that uses that style of harmonic complexity without any repeating phrases or rhythmic structure. So I love swing, rhythm and blues, latin carribean styles, samba, soul, funk, etc. If you can't dance to it ot if it doesn't have any emotional impact, no repetition, no defining melodic lines, and doesn't tell a story over time I don't like it.

Jazz encompasses a wide variety of music, even more today than in the post bop era. I wouldn't say there is something for absolutely everyone, but for any person like you (at one time) who thinks they don't like jazz, they may just not have heard the kind of jazz they like.
