Not Not Jazz
In “Not Not Jazz” – a documentary about jazz fusion band Medeski Martin & Wood, there is also a sequence with ‘crew lens stalking about Mike Landau’s neck’ while Chris Wood is bowing an upright bass on leaves in a desert courtyard in upstate New York tennis court. Other such scenes are also evident in “Not not Jazz,” which I believe if you are concerned about how the pieces of music are constructed and not only the finished product, this will be one of the most delicious aspects of the film in question.
This hazy documentary “Not Not Jazz” directed by Jason Miller with the assistance of Htat Lin Htut who should be a band member rather than one of the camera crew because of the music recorded during the shooting (2008 Esoteric Arts, Ltd.) is a short scientific – no more than 74 min without credits – animation film That possibly relies on the editing work done with the best of intentions. This time around, however, is quite possibly not long enough in some regards and from the viewer’s perspective at least for this particular viewer, there have not been at least two occasions when one is supposed to be in a studio which is what it is about and why is this one in Hudson Valley’s llaire Studios watching a band attempting to make a new record in which a fair bit of improvisation is incorporated in which this part is quite under delivered.
The film is just as good in the creation of conflicts and closes its final credits and run simultaneously. And as it avoids going toward the other extreme of burying itself in unnecessary narcissism and self-destructive contempt for the subject matter of the viewer’s perception.
(The ‘audience’’ is mostly members who for 95 % of the time enjoy the band and/or jazz-related music ). These are some individual efforts made within the mains which are not elaborated. The most that we get is that it was rather casually stated by their manager Liz Penta who produced the film that the band had to go to group therapy and there was a lot of tears about it.
Even so, this is a nice piece of work which compensates for the deficiencies and omissions. If you have ever been in a band, or know anyone, imagine the bittersweet understanding that exists between Wood, percussionist Billy Martin and keyboardist for Medeski-Scofield, Billy. tb Where private practice and young adult As psychologists have been together long enough 33 years so not only have they developed a relationship of comradeship but a language made up of bits of sounds and words and playing.
Rewriting is a part of the process understood as performing the work they describe rather differently — it is also about learning how creation of the art the creation of the art can be captured. Instead, Focus concentrates more on processes of creation than demonstrating standard cut away view of a band member lost in soft focus pine woods while the voice of another band member is instructing. A process bases on the clever melody geared obsessively towards a catchy style; the three guys squeeze and wipe smudges of once- fun attempts on dully serious-aesthetic framed genres including the kitchen, wherein two or all of the two are sculpting at least one piece inside the head of the other who is inside the ear of the two sculptors and some shape a sound or a picture in a different one.
Sometimes one of them would say “what if I doot-doot-doot, doot-doot-doot-doot,” and probably the other one would respond to that and if not – impress them with their sounds. They complete each other’s thoughts. Sometimes, they do not even avoid finishing such an ‘eventual’ language. One will go only this word, ‘right, right’, and this is all.
It was evident that the path to getting to the warm and inviting place was not an easy walk. Its maximum development period covered the late 1990s, when even the Blue Note Records, which has kept a majority of jazz legends today, was even willing to record a pure instrumental act such as Medeski, Martin & Wood. That swipe of enthusiasm disappeared as record labels went cold and ice over the notions they had about producing potential for that kind of music and the group just had to wade into the over saturated market place.
They managed to survive against all odds because of their amassed self consciousness especially at the beginning and almost comitted to that self image without any efforts to in any way shape about doing something about them that seemed corporate (whether or not jazz is a kind of business is likely a subject for this other film of which I want to see). Penta, who is the most beautiful girl and who out them into CB’s Gallery which is an avant garde boutique area of CBGB’s New York City tells the band that the boys had a sense that if they could get their music to a wider audience than only a slight rock audience.
The band, however, had their very first proper manager,uber Penta, who was ready to put them into hardcore punk circuits, which was right for them anyway. “They’re all educated as classical or jazz musicians,” she says. “However, in their opinion, this kind of music shouldn’t be presented in a jazz club which is rich and very orthodox. They wanted to bring that music to the people in rock clubs (because) it was available to everyone. ”.
