Back again with the good news from on high... The Country Preacher has spread the gospel, a gospel of liberation, and gospel of power, econmoic power, red, black and green... know what I mean! He preached a gospel born of exclusion demanding a seat at the table not for just him and his but for all regardless of gender, race or creed. Shouting let freedom ring!! The Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson transcended this earthly plane on February 17th 2026 and when he was a young freedom fighter in Chicago - planning, organizing and fighting for a better day, he inspired a young Jazz pianist named Josef Zawinul (who happened to be in a quintet led by the great Cannonball Adderley) to compose a song in his honor. He named the tune "Country Preacher". Josef Zawinul was an Austrian immigrant who came to NYC with his parents and fell in love with Jazz Culture. He got his start playing soulful jazz with Cannonball Adderley in the 1960's and later went on to become one of the greatest electronic keyboardist of the 20th century. He was instrumental in developing Jazz Fusion alongside saxophonist Wayne Shorter with the creation of the group Weather Report in the early 1970's. You can't get more Jazz than that.... Jazz is about different sounds and cultures, conversations if you will, learning how to work together to create something new and spontaneous and beautiful with chords and melody. On this episode I touch on the legacy of Jesse Jackson and of course bring all "You Young Jazz Lovers" a whole lot of good, good Jazz music. So... exercise your freedom to enjoy this most democratic of all art forms... Jazz Music Born in America, Enjoyed Worldwide.

Jazzdrum‑Playlist (Volgorde: van vroeg → modern) 1. Gene Krupa – “Sing, Sing, Sing” (Benny Goodman, 1937) De oerdonder van de swingdrums—Krupa maakt de toms en jungle‑feel wereldberoemd. 2. Baby Dodds – “Spooky Drums” (1946) Een solo-opname die laat horen hoe vroeg-jazzdrummers kleur, ritme en improvisatie benaderden. 3. Max Roach – “Cherokee” (met Charlie Parker, 1945) Razendsnelle bebop en totaal vernieuwend ride‑cymbalspel. 4. Art Blakey – “Moanin'” (1958) Blakey's “press roll thunder” en soulvolle drive: hét hard‑bop geluid. 5. Philly Joe Jones – “Two Bass Hit” (Miles Davis, 1958) Super strakke rudiments, dynamische fills, en meesterlijke controle. 6. Elvin Jones – “A Love Supreme: Pt II – Resolution” (John Coltrane, 1965) Golvende, spirituele storm aan polyritmiek. Volgens kenners één van de meest invloedrijke drumopnames ooit. 7. Tony Williams – “Seven Steps to Heaven” (Miles Davis, 1963) Williams was 17 (!) en revolutionair in drive, vrijheid en cymbal‑articulatie. 8. Roy Haynes – “Snap Crackle” (1962) Zijn bijna elektronische “snap & crackle” stijl komt hier volledig tot recht. 9. Billy Cobham – “Stratus” (1973) Kracht, snelheid, precisie: Cobham zet een nieuwe standaard voor fusiondrums. 10. Steve Gadd – Intro van 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover 11. Steve Gadd – “Foam Home” (Steve Gadd Band – 70-Strong, 2015) Legendarische precisie, frasevorming en groove—drummer's favorite. 12. Peter Weissink – Up Jumped Spring (Keys and Beats – 2024) Als toetje: de ‘huisdrummer’ en organisator van de Tor-JazzJamsessions: Peter Weissink en zijn muzikale companen John Hondorp en Sebatian Altekamp op hammond en piano. Drums en slagwerk vormen de ritmische motor van jazz. Van de vroege “trap sets” in New Orleans tot de complexe metriek van het modern jazz‑drummen: elke periode bracht nieuwe technieken, geluiden en muzikale rollen. 1. Vroege jazz & New Orleans (1900–1920) De moderne drumkit ontstond in New Orleans toen slagwerkers verschillende percussie-instrumenten combineerden tot één set (o.a. bass drum, snare en bekkens). Kenmerken Tweeledige rol: ritme én kleur Veel marching band‑invloeden Gebruik van vroege “rudiments” en eenvoudige ritmiek Belangrijke drummers Baby Dodds — pionier van het improvisatorische drumwerk Zutty Singleton — populair door zijn werk met Louis Armstrong 2. Swing Era & Big Bands (1930–1940) Met de opkomst van bigbands werd de drummer een tijd-keeper die de dansbare “swing feel” moest dragen. Kenmerken Focus op steady hi-hat en basdrum Grote orkesten → meer kracht en consistentie nodig Drumsoli worden een showelement Belangrijke drummers Gene Krupa — maakte de tom-toms beroemd, enorme showman Chick Webb — krachtig, invloedrijk swingdrummer Jo Jones — verplaatste de “time” van basdrum naar ride-bekken, een mijlpaal 3. Bebop (jaren 40) Bebop zette de drummer in een interactieve, minder voorspelbare rol. De muziek werd sneller, complexer en meer op improvisatie gericht. Kenmerken Ride-cymbal wordt het hoofdritme-instrument “Dropping bombs”: accenten op de basdrum Veel vrijheid en communicatie met solisten Belangrijke drummers Kenny Clarke — grondlegger van moderne bebop-drums Max Roach — melodisch drummen, polyritmiek Art Blakey — dynamisch en krachtig, bekend van Jazz Messengers 4. Hard Bop & Soul Jazz (jaren 50–60) De groove werd zwaarder en aardser, beïnvloed door gospel en blues. Kenmerken Sterkere backbeat Meer emotionele spanning Interactie met blazers en piano Belangrijke drummers Art Blakey (opnieuw) — echte hard bop‑architect Philly Joe Jones — strak, fel, met prachtige rudimental frases Elvin Jones — revolutionaire, golvende “drum‑storm” rond Coltrane 5. Modal Jazz en Post-Bop (jaren 60) De ritmische vrijheid neemt toe; drummers bewegen zich losser rond de beat. Kenmerken Minder voorspelbare patronen Veel gebruik van textuur en ruimte Accent verschuift van swing naar flow en kleur Belangrijke drummers Tony Williams — enorm vernieuwend op jonge leeftijd, bij Miles Davis Jack DeJohnette — lyrisch, open, breed geluid Roy Haynes — “snap, crackle”, lichte en springerige stijl 6. Jazz Fusion (jaren 70) Elektrische instrumenten en rockinvloeden brengen nieuwe energie. Kenmerken Krachtiger spel, rock‑dynamiek Complexe maatsoorten Gebruik van elektronische drums en percussie Belangrijke drummers Billy Cobham — stormachtig, technisch extreem sterk Lenny White — pionier bij Return to Forever Harvey Mason — funk‑jazz, strakke groove 7. Contemporary Jazz (jaren 80–heden) Hedendaagse drummers mengen jazz met wereldmuziek, hip-hop, elektronica, en nog veel meer. Kenmerken Hybride setups en elektronica Complexe metriek (bijv. 7/8, 11/8) Mix van jazz, pop, funk, hip-hop en indie-invloeden Belangrijke drummers Brian Blade — muzikaal, gevoelig, dynamisch Jeff “Tain” Watts — krachtige post-bop energie Mark Guiliana — pionier van elektrojazz en “future groove” Terri Lyne Carrington — veelzijdig, grensverleggend

EPISODE 141: The Blackbyrds were at the cutting edge of jazz fusion, R&B and funk in the 1970s, pushing the boundaries of Black popular music forward in one of the most musically fertile decades of the past century. Established by legendary jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd in 1973, the band's success includes several highly touted albums, film scores (1975's "Cornbread," "Earl and Me"), as well as supporting such iconic artists as B.B. King. Herbie Hancock, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Roberta Flack and more. The Blackbyrds' self-titled debut album put the group on the map with "Do It, Fluid," a funky laid-back party anthem. The group followed that initial success with a string of albums over the next five years, including FLYING START (1974), which yielded their biggest hit, the Grammy-nominated "Walking in Rhythm," and CITY LIFE (1975), which contained the hit "Happy Music" and the iconic "Rock Creek Park," which remains one of the most sampled jazz-funk tracks to this day, as well as such hits as “Supernatural Feeling,” Grammy-nominated “Unfinished Business,” “Time is Movin',” “Dreaming About You” and “Flyin' High,” among many others. Under the leadership of original drummer and vocalist, Keith Killgo, the band continues to record, tour and perform globally. The Blackbyrds current lineup includes original founding members Keith Killgo (drums and vocals) and Joe Hall (bass), Paul Spires (vocals), Dominique Toney (vocals), daughter of original band keyboardist Kevin Toney, Roberto Villeda (keyboards), Charles Wright (guitar), Thad Wilson (trumpet), Marshall Keys (saxophone) and Sean Anthony (percussion). blackbyrdsmusic.comContact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!
