[@farmeryaeg]

michaelshowgenio Every time I look at my original post, I think it says "BringBackFatMan". Oh well, either way my point stands.

[@AlRoderick]

Take The A Train must be a really influential piece, I think it's been in half of these videos so far. It deserves it.

[@christanu9203]

the guitar player has to wait for 50 years later to play

[@tervinbensonamiteye4928]

Sergio Ríos Campos 😂

[@Abra_TV]

Awowkwok

[@frankfrank7921]

Of course because he came with the wrong guitar. The Fender Strat was not invented until 1954 and due to it's sound has no place in straight ahead or classic jazz. I'm not anti-Strat, I own two of them but I would never use one in a truly jazz context.

[@freecitizen2760]

Frank Frank : A Tele? Yes! A Strat? No way!

[@5w4nd170]

So far this videos still being the best for explaining jazz history. No other videos yet explaining as detailed as this

[@Jack-ur7mq]

What a true artist, and lover of Jazz Kris Bowers is. I'm lost for words.

[@Thegeeksquadofone]

Everytime a video comes out I spend like an hour rewatching all your other videos! Thanks for the great stuff! :D

[@whanowa]

NOOOO WHERES THE ORIGINAL FACT MAN?

[@diogofromspace]

he had a stroke

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

Ikr

[@jakubkreft]

Gol Den strike

[@kaylablake2823]

He needed a sick day

[@Bennnnism]

Great job. Awesome pianist.

[@terrymiller111]

He is an immensely talented pianist. He puts the feeling into it.

[@ekanhaxxel2]

You guys should compile a playlist and post it in the description so people can after watching the video listen to to the full songs!

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

TheRealAntBell and they have it now. My spotify playlist got more cultured. Thx

[@Mailmin]

This is the best video done yet. No one really appreciates or understands Jazz and it's influence in contemporary music. Thank you for this!

[@clentbowers]

Great "show & tell" concept....educational, inspirational, and entertaining! The pianist, keyboardist, keytarist, Kris Bowers is AWESOME!!! A credit to the evolution of Jazz!!

[@wastagwaga]

I was waiting for Cory Henry in the "contemporary geniuses" part.

[@yunggreg7694]

wastagwaga Same here dudes a freaking genius. my favorite right now

[@maitearregifilm]

and jacob collier!!!

[@jro1472]

Kinda disappointing that those are the first names you all come up with to be honest.... Cory Henry and Jacob Collier are quite skilled in their own right but there are so many other modern pianists who are 100x the players/musicians they are and don't get that kind of recognition. Cats like Aaron Parks, Taylor Eigsti, Sullivan Fortner, Tigran Hamasyan and so many more play circles around those guys. It's not even close.

[@Account-ru8wt]

Zayphe I wouldn't say they could "play circles" around cory henry... you should study what hes doing with jazz improv and rhythm in songs like gotcha now and lingus and also his mastery of the organ and gospel styles. to add to your list, robert glasper and kamasi washington

[@jro1472]

21 21, you're certainly entitled to your own opinion, but I wholeheartedly believe that the players I mentioned are in a separate league altogether. Also, the fact that you seriously mentioned Kamasi Washington as someone who even comes close to hanging with those guys is completely ridiculous. Kamasi Washington doesn't know how to play jazz, plain and simple. He does his own thing and writes some cool shit, but as far as a jazz saxophonist goes he is extremely limited in many ways...technically, rhythmically and harmonically. Robert Glasper on the other hand can definitely play his ass off.

[@MrBoxturtle32]

SWEEET! NEW CDZA! SO EXCITED!

[@CJhasthoughts]

Another fantastic History Of by the CDZA!! I was surprised to see Medeski, Martin, and Wood overlooked, but was REALLY STOKED to be reminded of Ahmad Jamal! I gotta go home now, dig in the archives and pull out some old albums...

[@bertramblik8826]

Been listening to jazz for 8-10 years now. But there were still some new ones for me, which is great. Thanks :)

[@gailcousins9609]

I TRULY ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE HISTORY OF JAZZ PIANO!THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE!

[@OmniphonProductions]

If you're really interested in Jazz history, check out the Ken Burns documentary series "Jazz". Amazing!

[@DoctorJezz]

Amazing effort to co-ordinate all that in one take - and educational too, despite the kids having a hissy fit below - really appreciated that :)

[@GaaraOfTheFunk606]

This is great! All I'm missing is Oscar Peterson and Joe Zawinul

[@jordifaxon2839]

+Sandow Sinai And George Gershwin

[@DrSwoose]

What happened to this channel? This was my absolute favorite back in the day! You guys are amazing! Please come back!❤

[@rovedajr]

I missed Oscar Peterson in this bunch.

[@AshrafRezkmusic]

and Aziza Mustafa :D

[@MaurycyHartman]

and Tigran Hamasyan

[@jangtheconqueror]

Probably couldn't emulate his style

[@frederikmarohn6358]

His style of playing was very clean and bouncy, but while being an amazing musician he hardly wrote his own music or brought nuance to the instrument IMO. He had a genius for taking existing styles like stride and whatnot and emulating them to the best of their ability however. While Peterson is a great pianist, I wouldn't call him an innovator in the same sense as Herbie Hancock or Bill Evans.

[@sammiller5997]

@@frederikmarohn6358 They included some just for their virtuosity though. Even though he wasn't an innovator he was still incredible and definitely worth mentioning.

[@frankjulian7949]

There are no words to describe how happy I am to have found your group. Bravo Brava and skiddly wah wah..sorry couldn't help myself. Play On!

[@7413321]

Seeing a new cdza video in my feed made my morning.

[@MrSalsa1973]

I was shocked that Earl Hines wasn't in the list...But I figured that there are so many;We could be the rest of our lives talking about all of them...Great vid. I learned a bunch.

[@ErikGiovani]

Yo this video is informing and entertaining as hell

[@drfreshey]

I am so glad the included 80s Herbie in this video. "Rockit" is my jam.

[@SmoothBear]

These are great commentary on how music has changed and yet stayed the same

[@RanBlakePiano]

Fabulous job wonderful pockets of history would like to hear more about thus group especially the pianist .so glad Jason Moran included Every person complaining who has been not included so I would nominate Mary Lou Williams ,Danilo Perez and Herbie N.

[@ribusgan]

Great stuff!! Missing Oscar Peterson and Joe Zawinul.

[@lj4466]

wow i am so mesmerized by this. You gentlemen did a wonderful job, thanks for this.

[@wolyeonemusic]

wow I didn't know the name George Duke before, but now I know. His song is really beautiful!! and Kris' arrange is too!! Great job :)

[@zacharymorin5696]

Loving the Herbie!

[@raystevens2900]

Amazing! You guys are great! I love how you introduce and pay respect to these ionic artists! You schooled me! Hats off to all your endeavors and best wishes from the Carolinas!

[@jazzpianoonline]

required listening for every student of jazz! spectacular!

[@donpompom]

Thanks a lot for this very interresting video. It brought a whole new light on a lot of music I have been loving for years.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I'm always sad this didn't keep going. You deserved more views than you got.

[@WeAreSC361]

Finally!!! A new episode!!!!

[@ThatSpazChick]

It's not the same. The new Fact Man doesn't have the same soul.

[@Ledha51]

Does he have at least one?

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

Zen L the old one did

[@jesusroman3458]

Could say he sold it for his talent.... soulless soulless talent

[@warrenclarkable]

Very well thought out and very well done.

[@PogieJoe]

Fact Man definitely looks a little happier today. I love this series, guys. Keep it up!

[@torlack]

Damn, I have a lot of artists to check out now. One of the best cdza vids.

[@marcelmiagi4579]

This was brilliant. Now give me more!

[@paytonkerkes]

This was great it helps to open peoples eyes to jazz

[@MobBossBobRoss]

Fact man is looking a little pale... and his acting is wooden.

[@PerchJack]

still gave me a wood

[@surfacingcom]

Fact man needs some SHOES! Or, you know, toes.

[@AnOddScot]

Lost a bit of weight, too.

[@Emariess]

yeah he's not looking as fact as he used to.

[@jordifaxon2839]

+SnappyK9 He's gotten quite a bit taller too…

[@lewfarkyy]

As a pianist, my favourite would have to be Bill Evans. His light touch was just like none other...

[@LuisCiprianiDev]

Great way to start the day, thanks for that

[@MasterRandomboy]

FINALLY ANOTHER ONE.

[@NutzlastB0hne]

NIce! You guys are back! I love these videos so much! Also, kudos to your playing skills!

[@infectedmushroom07]

Love these videos for some reason...

[@mrs.bobettejamison-harriso1435]

Kristopher, I knew your autograph was going to be priceless one day! That's why I got mine real early...when you were just a 15 year old kid! I'm so proud of your educational and musical accomplishments. You are among the best, my friend. May God continue to bless you and facilitate you with all that your heart desires. (Smile) Your former NAACP ACTSO Music Coordinator! Go get em' Kris! Bobette Jamison-Harrison

[@theonebman7581]

Man, I miss these guys

[@jbarry471]

Very cool guys...great job!

[@Skiiermt]

[@lawrencefrancis5099]

This is awesome! You guys should do trumpet !

[@nicokohler4039]

[@ellhnikoarxidi]

[@onceme2u]

This was beautiful.

[@moosicnsk8]

Top shelf jazz,just soooo good.cheers..LUGERO

OMG YESSS SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED HIM

[@JustNathan86]

Keep being great, cdza!

[@otiagomarques]

I love the instrumentais. It's so cool! Expecting more soon keep the great work

[@ortizvillarreal4070]

Nice! Missing Mrs. Coltrane though. She was amazing and truly an influence to many

[@RandomDude_tw_6]

Great video and amazing basslines!!! :P CDZA is amazing!

[@xXSellizeXx]

OH MY GOD YESSSSSSS!!!! MORE CDZA!!!!!!

[@auntykeli]

Aloha CDZA, *HERBIE HANCOCK'S ROCKIT 1983!!!!! ahhh.. back in da day... ;-D* But seriously an *amazing group of musicians!* To those who don't play an instrument, I don't know if one could truly appreciate the fact that you blended decades of jazz into one arrangement... that takes major talent! Isn't it interesting that each era had it's own 'sound/style'? It was an honor to hear... now all you need is an ukulele and steel guitar! ;-) *Excellent work! Well done, and thank you.* Aloha 'oe and God bless, - AuntyKeli Oh... The "Fact Man"... Hilarious to look at but very educational! *I SUBSCRIBED!*

[@WoodBassGucchi]

I Want to see more your piano trio jazz.

[@thorerik]

Starting this video, I knew we'd see Herbie a couple of times, but not this many :p To be honest during the early 00's, it seemed like Jazz was a little stagnant, but it's picking up again, with pianists like Kris, and singers like Gregory Porter are doing a wonderful job at bringing Jazz back. Thank you for making a great video :)

[@BehindFlyingCheese]

Incredible as always!!

[@robertdemayo3693]

Would love to see a history of punk rock/hardcore!

[@TheSandocheech]

Dude! what about Latin-jazz a HUGE part of Jazz history.

[@BrandonBailey2113]

Love that April in Paris is in here

[@SmoothBear]

Dude this is so epic ..... I love every minute of this

[@riyaad86]

OSCAR PETERSON ???

[@agamaz5650]

art tatum

[@Irish_Goose]

You should do history of Jazz Saxophone or just Saxophone in general!

[@CollegeSoldier]

excellent work always entertaining

[@pierrebridenne8870]

Great, Great , Great job !

[@AyinVillagra]

5:33 you mean quartal harmony? cus I’m pretty sure chords were around before Tyner came along

[@dylanmanicfanaticHipCatRecords]

Quite a lesson, thank you!

[@huntrrams]

I was waiting for bossa nova movement in the 50s\60s!

[@thiagoricci4440]

moviemagic yeaaaah, I can't believe there is no Jobim in the video :(

[@marcelteclas]

History of Jazz Piano in U.S. , they forgot the rest of the world.

[@Apoz]

Ahhh It seems I don't like the US. @@marcelteclas

[@noone-jw4gm]

@@marcelteclas yeah, but latin jazz was partly invented in us, isn't it?

[@IgorMLoureiro]

@@noone-jw4gm Not bossa nova. I don't know about the other styles, though

[@jsdsps01]

I miss these guys

[@AsherMandrake]

Really enjoyed this!

[@RetroLPGames]

Playing piano since 12 years. Couldn't play most of these. Well, there I've got a wonderful longtime goal! Now I am going to bei the red synth or the super cool "hanging piano" (What's it's name?) I'm amazed, thanks!

[@a.warner1418]

This video was awesome and super informative. The only thing is that the "vocoder" was a talk box, even on an instrument that has a vocoder built in. Loved the video though and amazing job!

[@TorontoJazzGuitar]

Amazing and super fun, but dudes -- @ 5:35-- it's quartal harmony (as in based on 4ths) not chordal...

[@johngonsalves5268]

Great job everybody!

[@valentine2430]

I didn't realize that the guy playing made the last song until I came back to watch it again!

[@CHOOCHOOYO]

this was awesome! you guys must have put alot of work into it, great job!

[@Tntmnt]

Your videos are PERFECTTT

[@corvusprojects]

HISTORY OF THE TRIANGLE NEXT, PLEASE!

[@polwit]

really nice job indeed!

[@mumfordwave5991]

This as usual is incredible! Although I'm surprised I didn't hear a famous "Linus and Lucy" tune thrown in there...

[@lucas.w_musicc]

Wtf where to is Oscar PETERSON- THE GREATEST PIANIST EVER LIVE

[@davidprivat43]

Lucas Walters Fully agree! The god himself!

[@dufasaurjoe2899]

Nothing against Oscar but to say the greatest piano player ever - some competition. Art Tatum- not to mention guys like Beethoven- Listen to the Arietta 2nd movement of his last piano Sonata Opus 111. from 1822- he was already getting funky.

[@AllIn1Studio]

How on earth can any pianist casually skip over OSCAR PETERSON??! ...and include some contemporary non-entities instead?! Baffling.

[@sid5537]

amazing video! especially the moment when they played Kris Bowers song...actually, there is a Booker T preset in Nord Stage 2. it would fit better)

[@symphonia277]

Do the history of trumpet next!!!

[@morganjones6008]

Professor Longhair!!! Hahaha yeah Kris that was amazing

[@auntykeli]

Aloha again, If I ever win the Lottery, I will fly you guys to Hawai'i to Play for one of my wedding anniversaries, yes? LOL! You guys are so amazing! This is still my favorite! ;-D

[@mr.macintosh8559]

I wish they mentioned Ryo Fukui. I love his style

[@ulilulable]

"Learn an instrument - because its FUN!" Agreed!

[@dabeamer42]

Great compilation. Covered a lot of guys I had never heard of, but you left out Erroll Garner, with his inimitable way of driving the chords in his left hand and dragging the rhythm in the right.

[@charliemetheany]

I, too, was hoping for at least a nod to Garner. Also, Oscar Peterson...? Pretty sure he was important. (Yes, I'm using an "understatement" here.)
