Love Fletcher! My favorites have to be Stampede, Wang Wang Blues, My Rose Marie and Why Couldn't It Be Poor Little Me My favorite from the "Roaring 20's."
One only has to look at the artists covered in this series to see evidence of the fact that black jazz musicians, particularly in the first half of the jazz century, were the preponderant creators and innovators of the music.
I agree... i work for my exams soon and i read a lot about jazz history... and facts are there: black people, tired of being under recognized at the swing era (1930/1940+) invented bebop.... then, with the cool era , same thing... they invented hardbop... and so on.... these are fatcs... recognized by history....
Lovely recording. The great Fletcher Henderson was and will forever be KING of Jazz!! " in my book anyway". Don Redman a true contemporary. His arrangements were amazing as well. Together they paved the way to some of the finest examples of their genre much to the benefit of many,many other practitioners.
Good evening ^^ I remember hearing "I'll See You In My Dreams". Was it the song when Charlie Parker got on a white horse in "Movie Bird"? Joshua Redman! \ (◎ o ◎) /! Surely he was a tenor saxophonist for the Roy Hargrove Group, right? First-class musicians up to relatives are amazing! I got a lot of knowledge today as well. Thank you very much.
Two more "must-hears" from the Fletcher Henderson catalog: "Hot and Anxious," written by Fletcher's brother Horace in 1931, whose main riff was ripped off by Glenn Miller for "In the Mood"; and "Queer Notions," a Coleman Hawkins original from 1933 in which Hawkins and Henry "Red" Allen point the way to bebop.
I think you are referring to a slip of the tongue where it sounds like I pronounce it 'Redmond' the first time, although not the second. You'll note that the name does appear correctly on screen.
Hello, thank you very much for making a series of videos about jazz. Because my native language is not English, some of the videos in the jazz history series do not have subtitles turned on. I cannot clearly understand the content of the videos. Please leave the videos without subtitles turned on. The video has subtitles enabled, thank you for sharing it selflessly
Ah, you're right, I found it. Spelled two different ways (one correct) in the same slide. No way to fix that without re-uploading the video, but thanks for the eagle eye!
