Scarf posted:I know this thread is by no means a definitive history of Jazz, but as someone who has a passion for NOLA jazz, in my opinion it's still missing some of the key innovators and inventors of jazz: Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, and King Oliver are credited with inventing and popularizing jazz music from altering ragtime pieces. And it was incredibly popular well before Armstrong came onto the scene. Most of America was already listening to Stride and Ragtime. If you wanna recommend some good Youtube links to put in the OP for them, I'll do it for you. Mind you, I'm going to limit it to about six max.

Anyone who really wants to hear it from the horse's mouth should check out Alan Lomax's recordings of Jelly Roll Morton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPt0IlmHJhs For anyone who isn't familiar with Alan Lomax, check out his wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_lomax. Alan and his father, John, probably did more than any two other people in the country to save american musical traditions from being lost. Thousands of recordings from every part of the country. Jelly Roll Morton isn't exactly a reliable witness (he claims to have invented jazz) but the man talks about and plays hits from the scene that birthed jazz at the turn of the century.

Incredulous Dylan posted:Anyone who really wants to hear it from the horse's mouth should check out Alan Lomax's recordings of Jelly Roll Morton: Yeah, Morton was his own best hype-man. There are also reports that he lied about the year he was born to make it seem more reputable that he was playing at a certain time period. Regardless though, even if Bolden didn't "invent" jazz, he certainly laid the foundation for it, then it was built up by Morton and Oliver. There's also some evidence that jazz was developing almost simultaneously here in Charleston with the Jenkins Orphanage Band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bopD0Ud75RU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_Orphanage And speaking of New Orleans jazz... anyone at the fest this year?

Scarf posted:http://live.jazzday.com/ Very cool. I just saw a kinda whack version of Love Supreme, but now it's an awesome set by John McLaughlin, a middle-eastern/indian style rhythm section, and an awesome violinist. e: Very good resolution and camera work too.
