| [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] |
