SLOGANIZE, PATRONIZE, REALIZE, REVOLUTIONIZE (BLACK LIVES MATTERS)
From The Democracy! Suite
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Septet with Wynton Marsalis
The Appel Room
Sept. 27, 2020
Listen now: jazz.org/democracy
“Jazz music is the perfect metaphor for democracy," says famed trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. At a time when America-and indeed, the whole world-finds itself at a crossroads, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer has been inspired to write a poignant and buoyant work, "The Democracy! Suite," which proves that the joy and beauty of jazz can bring us all closer together.
That new suite is now a digital album from Marsalis and a septet composed of members of the famed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Recorded live in Jazz at Lincoln Center's Appel Room during the Covid-19 lockdown, the work is irresistible and irrepressible. Tracks like “Out Amongst the People (For J Bat)” and “Be Present” are an impassioned reflection of turbulent times that find peerless musicians working as a harmonious community, urging us to reflect on the past and reconsider the future.
"The question that confronts us right now as a nation is, 'Do we want to find a better way?'" Marsalis says. The music of The Democracy! Suite may be instrumental, but it speaks for itself, urging us onto action-to get out of our seats and fight for the world we believe in.

Loved it, cold Jam,,,, and the view is nice . @ nite view must be too much, Live NYC, such a nice set,, the passion is there,,

[@sevildrib]

Thanks to Wynton Marsalis and the JLCO, Democracy just hit a deeper groove and a sweeter harmony. These World class artists know how to play the changes and now it's time for Capitol Hill to strike a different chord. if equality of opportunity for Black Americans is ever going to swing into play, Natural Justice must be centre stage.

For all the supposed jazz fans here complaining about the music being politicized: ever listen to Charles Mingus?

[@jozneptune]

Yup. Have you heard of Stanley Crouch. Much smarter man than Mingus. Monk was the best and he was mostly a-political. He said, "THey tried to get me to hate white people, but someone would always come along to spoil it." BLM gets you to hate Whitey. MOnk was smarter than all the racists on the left. BML and Wynton, not so much.

Jazz is historically political. So is most music. This just shows your inability to understand this context.

[@GARRY3754]

U couldn’t say that to John Coltrane after composing Alabama to memorialize the young girls killed in a church bombing in the early 1960’s

[@moresalesoryourmoneyback]

Everything is getting politicized. Sad. I am hispanic BTW

[@natericketts]

Forgive me for thinking that black lives matter is a human rights issue, not a political one. You're the real sad one. Also, don't think that stating your race makes your awful opinion justified. Music like this has the power of uniting people and I am very proud that Wynton and the team have put together this amazing piece of art.

[@moresalesoryourmoneyback]

@@natericketts It's not. It's a political tool. A divisive anti-white tool. And you know it. If it was really a humanitarian issue then we colored people would look inside our own communities, where black-on-black and hispanic-on-hispanic killings are the real epidemic.

[@Hubtones1]

@@moresalesoryourmoneyback I'm black and i kind of agree with you. Black issues were happening long before Trump, Trayvon Martin was killed during the Obama administration. Black lives matter was created during the Obama administration. So much more i could say but🤷, many people's opinions are created off some imaginary slippery slope of more emotions than logic

[@12500cherry]

BLM does not mean that other lives are less valuable. The purpose is to recognize that black lives have been consistently devalued throughout American history. It's an effort to achieve parity, not diminish others.
