January 1, 2007 What’s hot in jazz? New York urban sounds
OK, I’ll admit it. I never thought that I’d be this old – where jazz is becoming an unacceptable form. The truth is it’s too loud. And the further truth is: Young people have always liked loud music. They love a huge bass line with pulsing, rapping drum upbeats. Big band was loud. New York urban is loud. That’s the music that’s in today. The first artist to claim urban jazz was Angelamia Bachemin. She pioneered the style of Jazz Hip-Hop, blending the two most uniquely African-American developments in music into one “phat” sound at Wesleyan University in 1997.
Bachemin was a child of New Orleans and inner-city Oakland, California. She developed the synthesis while working on her Master's Degree, where her first jazz hip-hop class rocked the Crowell Concert Hall standing-room-only crowd. She called it the Renaissance Soul Revival. The tradition continued at Berklee College, where Bachemin's classes and performances were so popular that listeners were often found crowding outside the doors. Our Monday band flies in this vein. The newest jazz trend lies in electronic music. Our own DeShannon Higa is deeply into this groove on Thursday evenings. And our new Saturday band is New York urban all the way.
Electronic music takes electronically generated sounds and turns it into a work of music. The music is typically composed on a synthesizer or a computer. Higa takes it one step further with visuals and music. At his recent gigs, he has both a real live painter painting and computer generated moving graphics projected on the Jazz Minds brick wall. This takes jazz to its sharpest edge. It brings it back to the beginning when innovation and improvising reigned supreme. Jazz musicians are artists in the truest sense of the word. Straight ahead jazz is really like old time rock and roll. It’s comforting. It’s great for old folks. But it doesn’t blow you away. “Hip hop is the most current expression arising from the African American cultural continuum and utilizes many of the same African musical characteristics as jazz,” says columnist Emmett G. Price III. “Just as the Hip Hop Nation constructed the word "yo" to designate who was a part of their nation, Lester Young constructed the word "man" to designate who was a part of the jazz generation. Both hip hop "yo" and jazz "man" are anti-heroes in the American tradition.” says writer Rahim Respond. So, don’t be coming round here saying, “That’s not jazz.” You might say it’s loud, but it’s jazz.
