AMAZING JAZZ HISTORICAL FOOTAGE
Abbey Lincoln with the Max Roach Quartet, January, 1964 in Belgium for a Studio performance; this remarkable session now a treasure display of where jazz DIDN’T go, and perhaps couldn’t have gone.
Herein presented: jazz as experimentation, minimalism, atonality, ‘tribal-musicality’ undertones combined with a almost purist disassociation (negation) of the musicological (reportorial) legacies of Ella Fitzgerald/Sarah Vaughan Shirley Basse + The Bebop Legacy; Roach’s quartet fronted by Lincoln questioning the standard jazz lines (1940 to 1960ish) of combinatory complexity, harmonic riffing, and reflex hyper-emotionalism, replaced with baser, non-baroque effusions, repetition, atonal inflections TO CALL OUT ‘standardized jazz’ with their authenticating intellectual choices and NOT subjective emotional reservoirs… THIS TV MINI CONCERT really give the 21st listener-viewer a great overview of the early 1960s experimental jazz concepts WHICH IN THE MAIN were not (in aggregate) adopted. The reason was a combination of excessive experimentation (blanking of the melody-structures) AND most traces of ANY commercial viability was seen to be cancelled out - unnecessarily so - by excessive bridges of minimalism or numbing beat repetitions. Have a listen for yourself.
