00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,200

66
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: lies yet.

67
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: No, no, Phil, a gaze is what you call a

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: group of raccoons?

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: What Phil's been educated?

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,320

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: We're on it. Okay, Gabe, let's hit it. Wait where

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: is Gabe?

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: Looks like he's taking that grand piano for a walk.

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: Gabe, do you get the baby's a grand piano?

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,960

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: Welcome to nineteen twenty. We're in Los Angeles on Central Avenue,

89
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: in the heart of black Los Angeles.

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: Oh, what a lovely Sunday afternoon.

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: Hey, how'd you know it was a Sunday?

92
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: Everyone on this street is wearing their Sunday bests.

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: You're getting good at this, I know.

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Hey, look there are.

95
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: Five enormous pianos on the front lawn of that house.

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: And now there's a crowd for me.

97
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: See that super dapper man wearing a cape and white gloves,

98
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: who's raising his golden cane?

99
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Is that Samuel Rodney Brown.

100
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: Actually no, it's William T. Wilkins. He's a local music

101
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: legend and a piano teacher with his very own conservatory.

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 6: My five star students, take your seats.

103
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: See the kid at the piano on the left, that's

104
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: an eleven year old Samuel Rodney Brown.

105
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: So before Samuel Rodney Brown became a great teacher, he

106
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: had a great teacher.

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: Inspiration begets more inspiration.

108
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 6: Listen to this, Okay, Samuel, you're up first. Let's show

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 6: this audience what you got, shall we for you must

110
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 6: learn to perform for your community, and you must learn

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: to make mistakes in public. Now showcase your talent, share

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 6: your art.

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: Cave.

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: This front yard concert is so cool.

115
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: I agree, and there were plenty of them. In fact,

116
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: William T. Wilkins mentored Samuel for ten years.

117
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: Samuel is playing Wagner and Verity. That stuff is really

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: hard to play.

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: His teacher thought it was important to learn to play

120
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 4: the classics.

121
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: Of course, I just don't normally think about playing the

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: classics in this kind of environment.

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: There's cars, honking, dogs barking, crowds yelling.

124
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 4: William says, it's an exercise in blocking out the distraction.

125
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: Ooo.

126
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: Here comes the big finish.

127
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 6: Thank you for coming everyone. Now it's time to give

128
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 6: out the medals.

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Gabe.

130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: He gives the kids medals gold, silver, and bronze based

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: on the performance. He liked to create a healthy competition

132
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 4: and have it feel like a celebration of practice and

133
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 4: hard work.

134
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: Oh, it's pretty awesome. Why is he giving Samuel a dollar? Ooh?

135
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: If you play passionately enough that you break a piano string,

136
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: you get a dollar.

137
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: I wish William I taught me piano when I was eleven.

138
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: I mostly learned from videos online and my only reward

139
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: was having to watch the.

140
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: Ads between lessons.

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: Times have really changed. Speaking of which, let's change time.

142
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Where are we now?

143
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: Welcome to Jefferson High School. This is where Samuel Rodney

144
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: Brown went.

145
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: There are so many kids at this school. Are we

146
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: still in La yep?

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: Jefferson is in the heart of south central Los Angeles

148
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: and the year is nineteen thirty six, Gape.

149
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: I can't help but notice that all the students here

150
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: are black, and it looks like most of the teachers

151
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: are white.

152
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: That is correct, but not all the teachers are whitey.

153
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: Look at all the kids gathering around that one classroom

154
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: where music is coming from.

155
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: That must be the music room.

156
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: Indeed it is, and I think you'll recognize the teacher.

157
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: It's Samuel Rodney Brown.

158
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: As you can see, the kids absolutely love him, and

159
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: his school band is the pride of Jefferson High.

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: That's so cool.

161
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: Look, he maybe the most popular teacher I've ever seen

162
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: at of high school.

163
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: But he almost didn't get the job. Really, Yeah, let's

164
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: stay at Jefferson, but go back in time, just a

165
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: little bit to check it out.

166
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Oh, looks like we're in the teacher's lounge now.

167
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: As you can see, this is back when all the

168
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: teachers were white.

169
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: What are they discussing? Everyone seems pretty upset.

170
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 4: They're talking about whether or not Samuel Rodney Brown should

171
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: be allowed to be a teacher here.

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: That is crazy.

173
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: He's beyond qualified for the job, and he went here

174
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: as a kid.

175
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but it was controversial because he would have to

176
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: break the color barrier. He would be the first ever

177
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: black teacher at Jefferson and in the entire Los Angeles

178
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: Unified School district.

179
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: That's incredible. How did he do it?

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: He used a form of activism called petitioning, and he

181
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 4: managed to get over fifty signatures from the community endorsing

182
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: his appointment to be the music teacher.

183
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: I see.

184
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: And once he got those signatures, he was accepted.

185
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: Not exactly. Even with so many people supporting him, some

186
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: white teachers were so unhappy to work with him that

187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: they put in their papers to transfer to a new school.

188
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: That's so messed.

189
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: Up, very much so. And the pressure was high on

190
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 4: Samuel Rodney Brown to perform in public, just like in

191
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 4: the old days on Central AB at the Sunday afternoon recitals.

192
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 7: Samuel Rodney Brown, please come to the office of the

193
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 7: assistant to Superintendent Gabe.

194
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like a very fun meeting.

195
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: What did the assistant superintendent say to Samuel?

196
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: He told him you got the job finally, but that

197
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: he would have to do the work of three white men.

198
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: That is so unfair, It's horrible.

199
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: But Samuel was not deterred at all because he was

200
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: so talented, such a hard worker, and so dedicated to

201
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: his students.

202
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: And constantly impressing them with his musical knowledge as we saw.

203
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: But I have a question.

204
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: Nowadays it's so easy to check out new music, but

205
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: how would someone like Samuel stay up on new things

206
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: coming out?

207
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: Niminy, You cannot believe how well you just set up

208
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: the transition to our next piece of history.

209
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Oh I can't believe it. I'm very talented too.

210
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: And speaking of which, this time I'm gonna play us

211
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: to the next time in location.

212
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: Please do We're headed to nineteen forty. Welcome to one

213
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: of the coolest after hours clubs in Los Angeles.

214
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: Gay This club is off the hook, a little smoky,

215
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 2: but pretty.

216
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: Groovery as they'd say nice nineteen forty slang use thank you.

217
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: Also, everyone is getting along so well.

218
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: Weren't most places still segregated in nineteen forty.

219
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: After hours clubs At this time, we're almost secretive places

220
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: where blacks and whites could mingle over their shared love

221
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: of jazz.

222
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: And look, there's Samuel Rodney Brown.

223
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: Right on the stage in the middle of it all.

224
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: To answer your question from before, this is how he

225
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: kept up with the times. He would travel to all

226
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: the jazz clubs. You see, before you could get new

227
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 4: music on your phone, you would have to travel. Irl,

228
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: that makes a lot of sense.

229
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: And who are those people he's talking to?

230
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 4: Well, that guy over there in the single breasted suit

231
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: is nat King Cole. And the gentleman seated at the

232
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: piano as Duke Ellington.

233
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: Incredible.

234
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: And wait a minute, is that glamorous woman who was

235
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: about to sing ethel Waters?

236
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 4: You bet she is my actual favorite?

237
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: My goodnesscape, this is wild.

238
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: I can't believe Samuel Rodney Brown is just casually playing

239
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: jazz and Robert Shoulders with the greats of his time.

240
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: I know, And how does he have the time? It's

241
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: kind of like Samuel Rodney Brown never slept.

242
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Must have been.

243
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: Pretty neat for Samuel's students to know that their teacher

244
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: was playing with the most famous musicians of the time.

245
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: And he didn't just play jazz with them late night

246
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: in the clubs where the kids weren't allowed. Everyone respected

247
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: him so much. These jazz titans would actually come to

248
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 4: Jefferson High School and play with him in the auditorium

249
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: and talk to the kids.

250
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: What that's the.

251
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: Equivalent today of getting Beyonce or Billie Eilish to swing

252
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: by your high school.

253
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: Can you imagine?

254
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: It's got me looking so crazy right now.

255
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: I see what you did there.

256
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: Samuel Rodney Brown walked that walk.

257
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: Huh totally, and many of his students went on to

258
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: become jazz stars in their own right.

259
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: He was so incredibly generous with his talents.

260
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: He once said he learned from an older gospel singer

261
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 4: from the era. If you have a kindness shown, pass

262
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: it on. That mantra influenced Samuel Rodney Brown greatly.

263
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Gabe, thank you, this has been extremely informative.

264
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: That is very good to hear, because I aim to inform.

265
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Mission accomplished good sir.

266
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Also diving into the life of Samuel Rodney Brown has

267
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: given me an idea about our growing simile in the bunker.

268
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: Ooh say more.

269
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, and there's no time to tell you. Now I

270
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: have to race off to turn this history into a song.

271
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: You certainly don't want to be late for that.

272
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: No way, a musician must be on time if they

273
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: have any hope of being in time.

274
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 4: Shall I do the honors and beam us to the studio.

Speaker 3: Let Joe nimine what we learned? Woof the best fearless

Speaker 4: Seed and so loud.

343
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: How is your adventure Nimini? Totally amazing? Thank you for asking.

344
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: In fact, it gave me an idea that would involve everyone. Ooh,

345
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: we're all ears ask Tina expressed.

346
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Keeping these little guys engaged all day is quite a lot,

347
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: and it got me thinking, what if we start a

348
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: little school for the kiddos.

349
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 3: It's a lot of idea.

350
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: It will keep the kids occupied, and also we can

351
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: learn from each other. Everyone in the.

352
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: Bunker has such different talents. Phil could teach the kids

353
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: how to stay pumped.

354
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Gabe and Lee. He could teach the kid's history.

355
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: I love it. I call the Tudor period. And I

356
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: can teach the music of course like this, follow after me, kids.

357
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: Do ray me fa so louty. To be honest, that

358
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: went better than I thought it would.

359
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: Tina, what do you think? No, I knew you'd love it.

360
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 4: Wait, Niminy, Yes, Gabe, could I maybe teach the first

361
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 4: history lesson right now?

362
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: That's perfect because I have to head off to an interview.

363
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 4: What will you be teaching a history of garbage and

364
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 4: food waste? Yeah? I had a feeling this lesson would

365
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: go over well.

366
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Tea, I'll see you shortly.

367
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: I'm off to chat with Elijah and Kamassie Washington.

Speaker 5: Nice to meet you too.

370
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: Hi, Elijah and Kamasi, tell us a little bit about yourself.

371
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: My name is Elijah, I'm eleven years old and I

372
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 5: live in Los Angeles, California. I have learned to play

373
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 5: the piano, recorder, guitar, and saxophone.

374
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 9: My name is Camasi Washington. I'm a saxophonist, composer, producer,

375
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 9: and ranger. And uh yeah, good to be here.

376
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to have you both here. Elijah, let's

377
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: start with your first question.

378
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 5: When did you first learn you had a thing for music.

379
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 9: You know, I'm a second generation musician, so music has

380
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 9: kind of always been in my life. But I can

381
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 9: tell you when I felt like I wanted to take

382
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 9: music seriously. I was in ninth grade and there's a

383
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 9: great teacher who passed away, Reggie Andrews. He was also

384
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 9: my dad's teacher, and he started a group called the

385
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 9: Multi School Jazz Band. Before that, I went to a

386
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 9: music high school and I was pretty good, but I

387
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 9: wasn't necessarily practicing that hard. And when I went to

388
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 9: go play in the Multi School Jazz Band, those kids

389
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 9: were serious. They sounded like the records and I still

390
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 9: kind of sounded like a kid, and we ended up

391
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 9: playing the Playboy Jazz Festival. But then, like the first

392
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 9: few weeks of me joining that band, you know, so

393
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 9: we're playing in front of seventeen thousand people. So I

394
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 9: figured at this big show, he's not gonna give me

395
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 9: a solo now because I don't even take I was

396
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 9: in the rehearsal. But you know, Reggie Andrews was a

397
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 9: master teacher, he was a master motivator, and so from

398
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 9: all those people, I'll never forget it. We were playing

399
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 9: red Clay and he pointed at me, and I did

400
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 9: my best, but I wasn't satisfied with where I was at.

401
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 9: So I was like, I'm a practice real hard and

402
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 9: next time he pointed at me and be ready, and

403
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 9: from there on I really took music. Seriously.

404
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I love that story.

405
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 2: It makes me wonder, Elijah, what's the moment that had

406
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: an impact on you as a young saxophone player.

407
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 5: Our school had a performance and I had a solo.

408
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 5: I think I was playing can Can in front of

409
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: like Stevie Wonder because his daughter goes to my school,

410
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: so he was there in the audience. That's cool, and

411
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 5: I feel like I could have done better, but I

412
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: did what I could at the moment.

413
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing, Elijah. Do you have any questions for

414
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: Kumasi about Samuel Rodney Brown.

415
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: How did you first hear about him?

416
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 9: You know, I'm fortunate about My father is a music teacher,

417
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 9: my mother is a science teacher. And I grew up

418
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 9: in a community that really held the ideal of kind

419
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 9: of each one teach one like passing on the knowledge

420
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 9: from one generation to the next. That notion is something

421
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 9: that makes our music more than just a profession or

422
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 9: even just an art form. And so Samuel Brown is

423
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 9: a bit of a legend amongst that community.

424
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 5: How has mister Brown inspired you?

425
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 9: I would say that he's inspired me to look at

426
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 9: my music not just as something that serves me or

427
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 9: my wants or desires, but it's also a means of me,

428
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 9: you know, being a part of a community that can

429
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 9: help others. Samuel Brown's footprint, his work echoes as echoing

430
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 9: into the centuries after. Anyone who dedicates themselves to education

431
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 9: should look at someone like him and feel proud that

432
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 9: you are walking into his footsteps, because you know, you

433
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 9: just never know who that person is that you're giving

434
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 9: these these gems of wisdom to and what that person.

435
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 3: May do with them.

436
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: You know, this conversation helps me reflect on everything we've

437
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: learned about Samuel Rodney Brown.

438
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Today, and it's making me think about how his legacy

439
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: lives on. Thank you both so much for being here.

440
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: Thank you, Chaussie.

441
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this.

442
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 5: Opportunity to meet you.

443
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 9: I'm on to meet you. I can't wait to hear

444
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 9: you play.

445
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Well.

446
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 2: Listeners, we should probably check in on our brand new

447
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: bunker school and see how it's going.

448
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Gabe, let it go.

449
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: Not to brag, but the lesson on the history of

450
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 4: garbage was a smash, partially because there is genuinely interesting

451
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: stuff to learn about food waste, but mostly because the

452
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 4: kids got to eat a ton of garbage throughout the lesson.

453
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: It was roast to watch.

454
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: Respectfully, Phil, you were not my target audience. Maybe next

455
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 4: lesson we can examine the history of hype.

456
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 3: Now you're speaking my language, Tina.

457
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: It looks like you enjoyed Gabe's lesson. Read good call, Tina,

458
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: looks like naptime. Indeed, I see you set up a

459
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: big mattress already.

460
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: That means it's time for a family snuggle.

461
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: Fire Feel is in for a naptime.

462
