Movie Reviews of Congo Square
Movie Review: All I can say
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me not talk about the technical mastery and excellent (Ghanian) African percussion and Jazz displayed herein... Instead wish to focus on the fun present in this presentation not only could you tell the audience had a blast but the love and joy expressed by the performers of this music is evident and infects you and moves you to shake your body!
I often find it ironic that many of Wynton Marsalis' detractors accuse him of being too classical making Jazz antiquated and stifling the creativity in Jazz because of his refusal to accept or acknowledge smooth Jazz, electronic fusion and free and advant garde Jazz I don't personally listen extensively to those forms but his detractors also say by his blunt decision to go only as for as bebop and its derivative forms he lacks true creativity and wishes to make Jazz a 'museum' piece to them I say TAKE THIS AND CALL ME IN MORNING
The music created here and played is fresh, inventive, informative fun and SWINGINGGGGGGGGGG whether it be ODADDA! or the JALC or the call and response exhibited when the two groups play together.
Lastly while I was clearly never born in the period of which this suite Congo Square was written I find myself taken there hearing the drums, seeing and feeling what it must of be like to express your freedom in the only available safe venue
This is the true function of music to enlighten to uplift and to enjoy.
Well done JALC and Odadaa!
