Jazz Fundamentals: What Is Free Jazz? 

You must've been an insufferable youngster 😂

@@WillyJuniorand you still are

@@sterlingweston nice joke, good for you

I used to do a lot of free jazz when I was 3 y.o., playing my mini 24 keys piano

haha, that's a great simile!!

the notion doesn't come from a judgement about technical skills of the players. it comes from the randomness, the impression the musicians not playing together but against each other. while i have respect for the skills, this music gives me absolute nothing to enjoy. it's hard to follow, hard to grab the beat and is rather complex for the sake of complexness. if there is a bigger picture behind all this "mess" it will be hard to agree on how it looks like, how it feels like. "free" is the perfect word for the music, but that doesn't mean it has to be incredible special, more difficult or supreme. it's just another "style" in music, and this style is "none". I enjoy Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica", but Free Jazz musicians rather ask for a musical degree to understand their language.

ehm no

Fluteguy123 yes

I mean it's free jazz

@@RealShrigmaMale no

this ain't free jazz! "FREE" jazz is what the word means: ABANDON STRUCTURE ETC! it is NOT jazz musicians playing regular jazz but in different keys and tempos! FREE jazz sounds like a tornado and is AWESOME!! Maybe I gotta look up Charles Gayle or Borbetomagus!

Exactly :)

But everything connects together somehow

Cool Shenanigans no, it doesn’t connect. That’s why it’s bad.

They have one common rhythm that binds it all. It’s like nature, harmony is never perfect in nature Still, these were crappy jazz musicians they wouldn’t be able to

Indeed

+Austin Clark We've posted the second set over the past couple of weeks - you can find that playlist here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNZIPUIwNs8.html

what do you mean by Free form jazz? I think that's different from FREE JAZZ (which is the musicians just going nuts and unconcerned with rules). LIVE in person, FREE JAZZ is far more powerful than on record, cuz of the chaos and different sound sources!

@@jonbongjovi1869 it's a meme

So you're saying I can create my own band now?

@@alexandremccormack I didn’t say anything about you, period

Free jazz is an ensemble of several musical instruments falling down the stairs, making random noises. If that is what people call music......no thanks.

@@CrimsonLibra_20 No it's not It isn't for everyone but it still is music It is freedom in its purest form

exactly how I feel... this is elevator free jazz, hehe!

Dereenaldo Ambun lol no you dont

ziploz lmao I just came from that meme

Hm. Great job?

You mean a freaking Meme has lured that many people here?

A dança das horas de tchaykovski ? Kkkkkkkkkjkkkkj

Yeah cause they nailed it.

People also said the same thing as Mozart started composing. Too many accidentals, straying away from Baroque order. It's just a matter of your palette

Why did you watched the video then?

Ok we'll stop playing free jazz just for you

Same tbh, even tho its really interesting, and it has a deep story and very specific and hard political contexte
