May 20, 2012 - I was in awe of Parker and Monk when I learned their melodies, harmonized them, improvised over the progressions, but when I started learning Duke I only had one damn thought: how the fuck did he come up with this shit? The passion and the love that is behind every aspect of each of his compositions is a fucking mystery.

TheObituarist Says:

May 20, 2012 - Maybe, as a trend, but quite a few musicians would agree, but many would also agree that Solitude, Prelude To A Kiss, let alone Perdido and In A Mellow Tone, in particular, are brilliant displays of Ellington's genius. I didn't appreciate his music until I started fully harmonizing his melodies. Duke is special. It takes work to understand him. He is much more difficult than Parker or Monk.

May 20, 2012 - Best damn documentary on jazz I have ever watched! Marsalis, you could not have put the meaning of jazz in better words, let alone offered a more prolific idea of how we all might go about setting aside our differences.

May 15, 2012 - What the man said at the beginning really changes the way I view jazz...

Apr 25, 2012 - I put in a lot of work into my music and videos, and I know most of you guys out there do too. I'm not gonna try and trade subscriptions here, but if you put a comment on my channel I guarantee to check out ur work, and if it's good you have my word on a sub. Regardless I'll comment you back with my honest opinion on what I like and what I think could use improvement. Thank you in advance for everyone who actually take a minute to read this and take it seriously.

Nov 18, 2011 - So what? Without the African element, there would be no Jazz either. Plus , Charlie christian was just as instrumental of the influence and progression of early jazz guitar as django was

Sep 24, 2011 - Goddamn I love jazz! I love all forms of jazz pre-1960s. Jazz, you are the poetic mistress of my life. You have helped me, inspired me and accompanied through all the hard times I have endured. Jack Hylton, Benny Goodman, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Jack Derns, Duke Ellington, Slatz Randall, you have been with me for my whole 23 years.
