[04:18.655] | Yo, whats up this is Tre Hardson |
[04:22.679] | Also known to y’all as Slim Kid Tre |
[04:26.486] | The topic for today is uh |
[04:29.605] | The influence of jazz |
[04:33.346] | Now, jazz has come a long way |
[04:37.000] | Back in the days |
[04:37.675] | There was bebop |
[04:39.456] | And now its hip hop |
[04:42.062] | Jazz was revolutionary |
[04:44.841] | And hip hop is also revolutionary |
[04:48.282] | Unlike rap |
[04:50.233] | Rap’s not really getting the message across |
[04:53.433] | Like our forefathers |
[04:55.670] | Like the Gil Scott-Herons, you know |
[04:58.536] | They paved the way |
[04:59.396] | They set the pace |
[05:00.083] | They set the tone |
[05:01.298] | Like the Last Poets |
[05:03.837] | All of these are great people, great minds |
[05:07.366] | To do things to carry the torch of our ancestors |
[05:11.224] | And to let us know what’s really, really going on around the world |
[05:15.969] | Hip hop has definitely carried that torch in a positive way |
[05:21.763] | Rap was a vehicle for stopping the violence |
[05:25.125] | Just as jazz was back in the days |
[05:28.475] | Back in the 60s, back in the 30s |
[05:30.296] | Quincey Jones, McCoy Tyrner, Grant Green |
[05:35.942] | Wes Montgomery, Elvin Jones, Miles Davis |
[05:40.929] | Eric Gale, Phil Sanders, Freddie Hubbbard |
[05:47.656] | Billy Higgins, Jimmy Smith, Wayne Shorter |
[05:54.244] | Ahmad Jamal, Thelonius Monk – all big influences |
[06:01.511] | For what it is that we do |
[06:03.465] | And what it is that we are |
[06:05.161] | As we take our stance in music |
[06:08.179] | Jazz was also like a secret conversation |
[06:12.410] | I mean, it was a universal language |
[06:15.257] | So no matter what culture you came from |
[06:17.974] | You would still hear the music |
[06:20.632] | And feel the story even if you didn’t know the words |
[06:24.102] | In hip hop |
[06:26.101] | We have to put our all into it |
[06:30.373] | So you can feel the energy coming across |
[06:35.493] | Just the same as the saxophone player |
[06:37.628] | Who played with the same intensity and feeling |
[06:40.627] | And that’s what we’re all here for |
[06:43.361] | To feel that love and vibration music |
[06:45.853] | To uplift the people, indeed |
[06:54.222] | So that is indeed an influence on me |
[07:01.030] |
