Replying to Comments, The Problem With The Word 'JAZZ', Autophisiopsychic Music.
Музыка
In our last live stream, "Whys Are 'Classical Music' and 'Music Theory Racist Terms' we had a lot of very passionate comments, and we'll be addressing some of those on this live stream. In addition to that, we'll be starting another discussion about the word "Jazz", and why many of the considered legends of Jazz, like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Dr. Yousef abd-Lateef, and others, didn't use this word to describe their work. We are also going to introduce the term "Autophisiopsychic Music", as described by Dr. abd-Lateef, as a better way to express what he and many other Black artists were doing with their work.

Excellent choice. Most of us, follow someone else's lead, without thinking. Thanks. 😊 🎉

Michael A Bradley's book should sum up a lot of confusion if there is any.

What was the song by John Coltrane in the beginning of this video thank you
Hi! Yes, of course there are racist musicians, however, as a generalization I think music is something that encourages cultural cross-pollination due to the nature of art and enquiring, creative minds. My experience of music is exuberance and passion upon hearing different approaches and styles rather than a fear of differing cultures. I refer to my own musical practice in the past and to musicians and composers I have listened to. So, it's strange for me to hear the idea of racism when associated with hybrid musical styles. However, there are racist musicians as there are in all walks of life. I don't watch videos in their entirety as I don't have the time so I listen to excerpts, read accompanying text and my comments are based on this. I love the word "Jazz" as it evokes the jarring, spontaneous, syncopated music that, for me, was always redolent of playfulness, joy, intelligence, modernism and artistic cross-pollination. Classical, of course, refers to the Classical period (1700's Europe) as ideas developed after the Renaissance. It stuck and, as you say, refers to written music and musical conventions that grew out of this. It is a Western concept that reflects a Western approach to culture. However, this doesn't mean that the music isn't of quality. It doesn't mean that music from non-Western cultures aren't of quality. The mistake, I believe, was to see Western musical forms (particularly "art or classical music") as superior to music from other cultures. For me, musical approaches that involve improvisation, playing by ear, handing down music from one generation to the next, remembering music or using processes that are unconventional or experimental are all valid methods of creating and performing music.
