Wynton Marsalis

bonzoWhale şunu yazdı:

How is Marsalis not innovative? Granted, he goes back to basics, but he takes the classics beyond that. Just look at the Vitoria Suite, what a way to merge two cultures musically! Not to mention what they did live in those concerts, drawing from several North and South American cultures to do something quite unique... That's definitely some serious innovation.

Glad to hear someone who agrees :) I agree that he's being criticized for not being very innovative, that's a respectable point. But who are those people (like Keith Jarrett, for instance) who can honestly tell this man plays with no soul at all? I strongly disagree with that.

It's interesting what SoulJazzsterInc has said that there are the innovators and the classicists who defend the tradition. He strongly defends the innovation and ironically it is what makes him a traditional guy simply because he defends an OLDER/original innovation (of Jazz) while rejecting a lot of newer ones. Also, I agree about his smug character. It's like he's the guy you don't want to argue with because it'll ruin your weekend completely. P.S. Great musician, nevertheless and love listening to him (play).

"Couldn't Metallica be jazz? No. Metallica is rock. it is straight eighths." So is the main riff of The Four Horsemen jazz then? It's got a swing feel. What about latin jazz, and bossa nova? It's impossible to set an exact definition for any genre because there's always exceptions, you just know what it is when you hear it. Besides, genres are really just ways of describing certain sounds and musical movements, not something one should aspire to fit inside the confines of. The guy's a hell of a player and has done a lot for jazz but he is also really strict in what constitutes jazz, and that really limits one's creativity. Establishing borders isn't what causes music to progress.

Well, as Mr. Marsalis stands, he doesn't believe that straight eighths are jazz. He defines swing as being jazz, and you know, I agree with him there. When it switched to straight eighths, it changed. So listening to all the modern music, what do we define as jazz? Couldn't Metallica be jazz? No. Metallica is rock. it is straight eighths. Just because a sax and a trumpet play in a rap chart doesn't mean it's jazz. Just because someone improvises in a chart, don't mean its swing. I listen to a Latin chart with Latin solos and it is a Latin chart. I listen to Birdland and I hear a funk chart with funk solos. I listen to Ornithology and I hear a jazz chart with jazz solos. Without proper definition, jazz becomes an umbrella for every style of music, and when I go to Myspace to find jazz artists, all I find are funk artists. Wynton is an incredible musician. He wants to preserve jazz. He never says those other styles are wrong, he just separates them and plays great music

i don't care if he played with jesus let alone blakey. miles knew the score from the moment he laid eyes on him. this guy had a hand in trying to remove a portion of jazz history with ken burns, whether deliberate or not. the documentary is a big deal. how many highschool students in band class see any number of these series every year? electric jazz was a major phenomenon in the evolution of jazz, let alone for all music! it changed everything. especially rock music. spend all that time goin nuts about the big 3 for like a billion hours and don't give electric but like a weak 30 minute segment? unacceptable with what a big responsibility and opportunity they had with pbs. so much history and art will remain hidden beyond the light of those who they wanted to shine the brightest, but weren't the end all to jazz. not by a longshot. many who should've got their props didn't and it's a shame that they could've - but won't. they could've easily did 3 hours focused on electric. easily...

Wynton is a classicist, so what?? He is not the first, nor the last. In music, there are always people in the innovation and people who want to keep the tradition alive and it's perfect like that. That said, I agree with zackbrown that the character may be irritating, even though the musician is great
