Jazz great Billie Taylor explains the origin of jazz in the United States

[@Baikonur75]

There is much to be thankful to the African-American community, many things and especially the music. Thank you.

[@docsavage8640]

Imagine the world without the musical contribution by black Americans. Your ears would not want to live there given a choice.

Thank you for uploading this! FINALLY, a jazz documentary narrated by a black American. I'm fed up with the British and French offerings. Billie Taylor's voice, talent, and his knowledge are much appreciated.

[@Cerl84]

Ken Burns has a black narrator.

[@vinylcity1599]

African American people played a HUGE part in Music! It's astounding how much they attributed to so many different genres!

[@paul6925]

I'd probably be listening to irish folk or sea shanties instead of techno if it weren't for The Belleville Three!

[@Mussuei]

Yes, but the white media portays white people as the "best musicians" of all times

Whats more astounding is that mexicans influenced almost all their music.

Thanks immensely Mr. Billy Taylor for your superb jazz elucidation, pedagogy, and discourse. An informative documentary.

[@TamsinJones]

I love Billy Taylor's succinct and clear explanations, with demonstrations, and his enthusiasm for this wonderful music.

[@positivityforkids]

I love to learn more and also it hurts me to see the racism and slavery that took place in this country but I admire so much the true resilience and will to keep going that the African-American people can only truly understand. No one can begin to know the hurt and pain they endured. I apologize on behalf of my country. But I thank God for those who had paved the way for freedom and what a wonderful documentary this is I will show my kids. Thank you for this wonderful music and also teaching the world that you can stand up again after hurt and pain teaching everyone that music can heal you and remind you how strong you are and that better days are ahead. ❤️it’s so important to learn the history behind all the music

[@taz-on-the-looseyusef5526]

i wonder how the world would be like without jazz , and the blues, African Americans contributed so much to America, there is so much information on this video

[@bethbartlett5692]

Taz-on-the-loose Yusef "Artists Created" what came to be called: Jazz, Blues, Funk, R & B - The creations of artists comes from their mind and what they speak in their art of: visual, experiences, interpretations if others experiences, in that elements direct relationship to their senses - visual, emotional, feeling, seeing, tasting, touching, etc. The expression of these are relative to their culture and often heritage - that being the case - all the remaining is "How it's expressed" There would be no sunject of Jazz without the "response to its expression" If you followed this comment in understanding - you now will understand - "It is all about the Creative" expression and response - It takes both to be complete - thus - it is without a complete understanding to "leave out the audience and their response" in understanding the reality of the whole. Exactly as the narrator expressed in the various styles, based on physical location. Take the ego mind out of the concept and replace with "an artist's understanding with their soul-mind" ...and that's when the racial weight of social ideas is left. It about the Soul - and energy is not black or white.

[@SceyaOfficiel]

I wonder how jazz could have been created without the existence of the world

awesome video this video make me appreciate music so much of the past and the history of it. besides racism and oppression that blacks went through at that time they had the best most beautiful gorgeous music we can imagine of jazz blues early r&b etc... meaningful lyrics they play real instruments instead relying on a computer no auto tune no profanity. grandma's great grandma's and Grandparents were so fortunate in the music scene they had the best of the best music of all time history man besides the young people of today's generation we barley got anybody that really stands out a few exceptions of course but not many like decades ago.

The swing, rhythm, and perhaps melodies are largely from the black community in the US. The harmonies of jazz and modern pop are an evolution of European classical music. I think it's a beautiful marriage. Both benefited from the partnering.

It's always a shame when people come out with stuff like this. I'm fairly certain many of the jazz pioneers were also educated in the western musical tradition. I know that Scott Joplin and Louis Armstrong were. There's no denying the huge contribution that black people have made to music, but your comment only shows your ignorance. Perhaps you should broaden your horizons.

[@joelsantora7434]

I still find this story over simplified and I don’t mean that as a pejorative. Jazz is so unbelievably unorthodox and paradigm shifting that it couldn’t be the work of one man or one music scene. I wish there was a way to have a video of the thousands of individual moments in quiet isolation that a man set his fingers down on the keys and played a diminished 6th or a dominant 13th and slowly that chaotic sound formed itself into a new ordered universe of sound. The fact that jazz came to be at all is truly remarkable thing. So beautiful. So weird. So not Bach.

[@hithere2426]

what do you mean "so not bach" ?

[@NorrisSaiyan]

@@hithere2426 Bach is very calculated and mathematical, jazz is more free form and improvisational, modal music that takes the rules of music and bends and breaks them to create something entirely new and outside of the box of traditional forms of music

Saying the swing sound came from mixing ragtime with blues is misleading. Mississippi John Hurt was mixing ragtime with blues to create his non-swing non-jazz in about 1912. The swing sound arose about 1929-1931, and blues influence had been very important in jazz long before that (the first publication of a 12-bar "Blues" was in New Orleans in 1908).
