Happy Birthday in 8 Jazz Styles

[@sammy40381]

It’s good to hear a birthday song 8 times in different styles when no one remembers my birthday. It’s like having 8 different person singing. Thx for the great video.

[@ritwikganguly5382]

happy belated birthday mate

[@kianawilliams9082]

aweeeee :( well happy birthday from a stranger

[@ILoveMySqueeze]

Happy birthday 🎂

[@m_sofia_silva]

Hi Sammy! Have a wonderful birthday this year! 🎶🎉😉

[@lalolanda3996]

feliz cumpleaños sammy

[@plasticboy81]

I always tried to understand the different styles. Now I have a better picture. But in General Jazz seems pretty much to be playful around the notes and give them your Personal stamp;-)

0:00 Ragtime 0:25 Early Jazz 0:58 Swing 1:33 Bebop 2:05 Cool Jazz 2:56 Hard Bop 3.47 (First half) Bossa Nova 4:06 (Second half) Afro-Cuban Jazz

[@abrahamdagamer]

3:47

[@mediawolf1]

Wow this is really good! There’s many “in different styles” videos and they’re entertaining but this is the one I’d actually give to someone educationally. It’s accurate but listenable and full of life. My only wish would be for more styles to be included but I recognize the time effort attention to detail that was required to make even this. 🙏

[@waalter]

Was watching this thinking it had hundres of thousands of views... amazing work!

[@ntsikelelondlovu]

Ended with one of my favourite Jazz styles. I couldn't help but dance!

[@oMaarlon]

Man, I wish I could hear a full song of this hard bop. It was amazing

The early jazz one sounds so good

[@greysuit17]

This is wonderful, you took a song that we’ve all heard hundreds of times and turned it into beautiful jazz renditions that are really enjoyable and fun to listen to.

[@flynnjo1970]

OMG!!! This is just amazing! Thank you so much for this. Now when people tell me they don’t like jazz because it all sounds the same or they don’t know where to start I can show them this!

[@planetpompom]

This is awesome. I always had a hard time pinpointing how there were some kinds of jazz I disliked and some kinds I really enjoyed, so now I know how to be more specific!

[@VinaTropica黄慧娜]

Me too

[@mesirpez]

You sound like an amazing music teacher.

[@dominiquepaul6877]

[@slipshroom12515]

the drum fill on hard bop goes hard

[@bsaylor]

💯

[@gbfusion]

I so enjoyed this. What an effort to put this together. Worth a sub every day of the week!

[@jeannefessenden9657]

Thanks for this - its great! I'm playing it for my elementary kids during Jazz History Month

[@Fire_Axus]

2:50 sounds like a chord from the harmonic series

[@tstrini1]

This is sooo excellent. The Cool is the coolest.

[@copperwire5815]

You have done a great job. I simply can't stop looping the video, especially for the swing, bebop and bossa nova part (they are really so nice)~ This video definitely deserves more views!!!

[@PensionIndustryBook]

Really nicely done!! Excellent pieces. Great music! Had to subscribe in a blink. Humble thanks, Eric Leif-Strand, for linking me up.

[@user-highbluejasonb]

Now I know I love bebop and hard bop. Thx.

[@CLONfb]

EXCELENT. 👍👍👍

[@astralcourtmusician]

This is masterful.

[@ylp3able]

One of the best videos I've ever seen! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm using it for homeschool; my girls will thoroughly understand the different styles of jazz now!

[@bsaylor]

I also homeschool my kids, so that’s really cool to hear!

[@komami1006]

[@deborahanderson3768]

[@irisschell5557]

Seriously AMAZING!!! This kind of talent is way over the top !! As a keyboardist with fairly limited skills in the Jazz field(good but not great) ..this just got me sooo pumped!!! So at the tender age of 75...& a Greatgrmother ..its time to get in some serious practicing !!! I'm inspired..thx thx !!! PS ...now having said all that...I must brag a bit & say that I can give Elton John a run for his money !!! (Just sayin) Lol lol !!

[@jeanneratterman4174]

Love all the versions but today i especially enjoy the bosanova! 🤗

[@gracerogers491]

How many more ways there are to wish you joy, Myfavorite Jacobean….

[@NatiDeNut]

This video is amazing!

[@reneegibson2911]

You just gained yourself a new subscriber, thank you 🙂👍🏾

[@composerchris]

This is fantastic. Bravo.

[@obara7366]

This is amazing! You found yourself a new instant subscriber! I want to learn the distinctions between the different types of jazz and this helps paint a bit of a clearer picture. Thank you so much!

[@ehzamx9969]

Great work!

[@michaelmoeyaertmusic-ld3ox]

i love your video's

[@lionel6869]

AWESOME!!

[@charcastanmusica5796]

amazing video!

[@joelwood89]

Phenomenal work!

[@JackTRMusic]

the hard bop one is so accurate tho

[@user-hh9jc9hs8f]

The ragtime happy birthday reminds me of maple leaf rag by Joplin

[@alvarobecerra3956]

Sensational!!!

[@Warentester]

Gave you the 1000th like. Well deserved

[@brs7495]

What a coincidence! The algorithm recommended this video on my birthday. Not to be a downer, but this was probably the worst birthday I've ever had; this video made it better. Well done!

[@paulwwells]

This is really interesting. Thank you. It must have been a lot of work to arrange, record and edit all of that.

[@Thomas15-b0g]

Really nice! Did you know Mr. Pollack is my band director? I wasn't expecting to see him here!

[@chocolatecandyfruithoneybutter]

This deserve so much views! really!

[@dontmeidgaf2888]

🎉❤Awesomeness

[@cesargamarra2651]

Que GENIO!!!

[@themadtrax6507]

sweet jazz

[@bsaylor]

Yeah, had to skip a few… went straight from ragtime to early jazz (hot jazz) to swing. No sweet jazz…

[@takunyatowa]

Guy is genius 💪💯

[@bussycat3468]

Really good content

[@Engenheiro5]

Great!

[@efmvii]

ok thanks! i just like the ones that end in “bop”

[@bseig3886]

Bday Hard bop slaps!!!

[@danielspaceship5124]

Dang I was really hoping for a 14 minute modal sheets-of-sound deconstruction of "Happy Birthday" for the avant-garde subgenre.

[@bsaylor]

LOL we got to the end of the school year and I was like “whew! Oh well no time for Ornette and late Trane 🤷‍♂️”

[@Emiliasooo]

Amazing!

[@nancywigen4815]

Thanks Harry, I like RAG TIME best. I had a great birthday with family and a lot of friends, sorry. you missed it. Nancy Wigen

[@jayb7532]

So basically each style have the main rythm driven by a different instrument. Is that a fair assessment? (I take into account the tempo, time signature, the different instruments and orchestrations)

[@bsaylor]

Yeah there are a few different angles to view it from. Another one is that the styles seemed to be a reaction against the most recent style in both size of the ensemble and degree of emphasis on improvisation vs arrangement/composition. Early Jazz - few players, greater emphasis on improvisation, not so much arrangement Swing - more players, more emphasis on arrangement, not so much improvisation Bebop - fewer players, greater emphasis on improvisation, not so much arrangement Cool - more players, more emphasis on arrangement, not so much improvisation (this one is less clear, because there were cool jazz groups that were smaller and didn't play /Gil Evans-style arrangements) Hard Bop - fewer players, greater emphasis on improvisation, not so much arrangement

[@maqeelafzal]

Hard bop happy birthday sounded like an opening intro to an 80s or 70's American prime time TV detective series.

[@maqeelafzal]

They are all nice,but the hard bop gave a nostalgic feeling, I love Jazz music but Jazz musicians even more.

[@cheframseykross6816]

I liked swing jazz

[@martinflataker1823]

Holy shit dude!

[@musicislanguage8657]

How many instruments do you play? You: Yes

[@尻槍文]

好有才華

[@wumbr6467]

god i love bebop

[@xandudicanda6303]

Very good! I think it is extremely effective to use the same song to explain different genres / different styles. The only mistake is that the song “Happy birthday” is in 3/4, not in 4/4!!!

[@Fire_Axus]

I mostly sampled bebop to hard bop

[@БукрабаСергей]

🎷💪🎷💪🎷

[@jeroendevalk1129]

Hey, there's one guy playing all brass, bass, drums and reeds (except the alto solo)?

[@mikesinghable]

😊😮

[@ijhhcfionlkgs]

Swing, bebop, bossa nova

[@gavinvonmeyer3746]

How many instruments can you play?

[@desmond3828]

I love these interpretations! Btw ragtime is not jazz

[@bsaylor]

@@desmond3828 Thanks! Correct; ragtime is pre-jazz. I included it only because it served the purpose of my music classes hearing the differences.

[@flavianajustin9328]

Deja Vu

[@martinviale2410]

Free jazz missed!!

[@kevp9601]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I 100% HATE THE "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" THEME SONG THE MOST, IT'S LIKE I'M IN "HELL THE EVIL AFTERLIFE UNDERWORLD", YOU KNOW, "THAT EVIL AFTERLIFE UNDERWORLD WHERE "BAD PEOPLE" GO, AND IT'S REALLY "H-O-T (HOT)" ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ranatha]

it's all djazz

[@bassemraafat9553]

Is that Babish on the drums?

[@hansolafsen77]

I used to think I don't like Jazz. Now I know I just don't like Bebop.

[@royeretto]

rikelme of katamarid be like:

[@kevp9601]

I REALLY, REALLY 100% HATE THAT "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" THEME SONG THE MOST ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lars1588]

No mind-bending fusion jazz version?! Disappointed. (just kidding-- very good interpretations!)

[@bsaylor]

I steered clear of free jazz too… I didn’t have it in me by the end 😆

[@MonkyTube18]

And where is Smooth Jazz :D :D

[@jdredman]

Exactly! Bust out the soprano sax, synth bass, and drum machine!

[@tomek453]

Free jazz please 😀
