Ghost Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'm into music/performances like this. Loved how the musicians were pumped up after this fantastic performance. The BD, SCV, and CAV played bits of this piece in recent years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EClOIrJpX08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keystone3ply Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I think it's due to the fact that the 'Jazz Idiom' is considered a 'gateway' form of music that can lead to illicit drug use. Just like dancing is considered a gateway to sexual activity. And both of these activities are considered a gateway to 'Hell". And we don't want to go the 'Hell"... That's the message in Carolina Crown's 2015 production "Inferno". 😇 Edited January 11, 2021 by keystone3ply cx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory11 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I remember BD winning DCI with a nice Chick Corea show, I forget the year. Also, don't forget Xmen playing some successful Pat Metheny shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Jazz requires A) feel....and in todays metronomed to death DCI world with crazy visual requirements....it's a challenge many don't want to take. B(....melodic development can often take longer than the current design trends allow for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHall Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I had a t-shirt Blue Devils sold in the 80's Jazz....Music of the 80's! So Jazz was only good in the 1980's says BD LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Even in the music industry "real world" this manifests every few years in the following statement: "Jazz is dead, man." Then, somebody comes along to literally blow that fallacy out of the water. In the '50s it was Brubeck and Cal Tjader, in the '60s, Maynard (and do not even think of dissing him in my presence) and Herbie, in the '70s', say hello to Chuck and Chick. Later we get Cobham (drum corps alumnus, like Corea), Spyro Gyra, Yellowjackets, Weather Report, Wynton...the d@mn thing just won't die. Don't fret. We'll hear and see it in D&B corps again, sooner rather than later. Stay tuned. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
