Amazing depiction of jazz. And it’s such an intricate part of music as a whole. So I’m soooo excited that they brought jazz into an animated movie for more kids to fall in love with jazz or just see how music truly is the voice of the soul.

@raimarulightning 3 года назад

Loved his insight on the "Jazz is dying" line. John Legend basically makes that same point in the movie: that jazz is as much about changing as it is about the music, and if Sebastian wants to really keep jazz alive, he can't try to keep it in the past.

Just watch Glasper's own live version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Not only is the band performing a cover, with the drum playing in a Dilla style, the musicians are riffing off of famous hiphop samples.

@@6thdim I'm talking about people who say "jazz is dead" because it doesn't sound like it did in the 50s-60s anymore, and yet claim to be fans of Mile Davis, who was a promoter of always reinventing yourself as a musician, therefore always made his music evolve over the years.

@TheBlueGoldenHawk 3 года назад

16:49 Miles is playing the drums most of the time, but usually if they did shots without his face it was a pro jazz drummer filling in (ba-dum-tss) for the harder parts. Also, it seems like he didn't watch Whiplash since he talked a while about the drummer just suddenly starting without the director counting. The whole point of that part is him getting back at Simmons' character (the band director) for tricking him into playing a song on stage that Miles didn't know. Especially by suddenly starting the uptempo Caravan in the middle of Simmons talking to the audience saying the band was about to play a slow downtempo song next.

Agreed with everything he said about La La Land, but would've loved for him to analyze Seb's solo piano performances, 'cause none of that was remotely in the jazz idiom. Those solos reeked of the late romantics' techniques and style, and didn't sound or play anything like the "pure" jazz he was supposedly crazy about.
