Stefon Harris: There are no mistakes on the bandstand

Prevodilac: Boško Eraković Lektor: Andrea Jovanovic

Okay, I have no idea what we're going to play.

Ok, nemam predstavu šta ćemo svirati.

I won't be able to tell you what it is until it happens.

Neću biti u mogućnosti da vam kažem šta je dok se ne desi.

I didn't realize there was going to be a little music before.

Nisam shvatio da će biti malo muzike malopre.

So I think I'm going to start with what I just heard.

Pa mislim da ću početi sa onim što sam upravo čuo.

(Music)

(Muzika)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Okay, so first of all,

U redu, pre svega,

let's welcome Mr. Jamire Williams on the drums,

pozdravimo gospodina Džamira Vilijamsa za bubnjevima,

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Burniss Travis on the bass,

Burnisa Travisa za basom,

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

and Mr. Christian Sands on the piano.

i gospodina Kristijana Sendsa za klavirom.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So the bandstand, as we call it,

Dakle, pozornica, kako je mi zovemo,

this is an incredible space.

je jedno neverovatno mesto.

It is really a sacred space.

To je zapravo sveto mesto.

And one of the things that is really sacred about it

I jedna od stvari koje je čine svetim mestom

is that you have no opportunity to think about the future,

je ta što nemate mogućnost da razmišljate o budućnosti,

or the past.

ni prošlosti.

You really are alive right here in this moment.

Zaista ste živi upravo ovde u ovom trenutku.

There are so many decisions being made

Toliko se odluka donosi

when you walk on the bandstand.

dok hodate ka pozornici.

We had no idea what key we were going to play in.

Nismo imali ideju u kom ključu da sviramo.

In the middle, we sort of made our way

U sredini, nekako smo pronašli put

into a song called "Titi Boom."

u pesmu zvanu "Titi Boom".

But that could have happened -- maybe, maybe not.

Ali to je moglo da se desi - možda da, možda i ne.

Everyone's listening. We're responding.

Svi slušaju. Mi reagujemo.

You have no time for projected ideas.

Nemate vremena za projektovane ideje.

So the idea of a mistake:

Tako da je ideja greške:

From the perspective of a jazz musician,

iz perspektive džez muzičara,

it's easier to talk about someone else's mistake.

lakše je pričati o tuđim greškama.

So the way I perceive a mistake when I'm on the bandstand --

Način na koji ja doživljavam grešku kada sam na pozornici -

first of all, we don't really see it as a mistake.

pre svega, mi je zapravo ne doživljavamo kao grešku.

The only mistake lies

Jedina greška leži

in that I'm not able to perceive

u tome da nisam u stanju da opazim

what it is that someone else did.

šta je to što je neko drugi uradio.

Every "mistake" is an opportunity in jazz.

Svaka "greška" je mogućnost u džezu.

So it's hard to even describe

Tako da je teško uopšte opisati

what a funny note would be.

šta bi bila smešna nota.

So for example, if I played a color, like we were playing on a palette,

Na primer, kad bih odsvirao boju, kao što smo svirali na paleti,

that sounded like this ...

to je zvučalo ovako ...

(Music)

(Muzika)

So if Christian played a note -- like play an F.

Ako bi Kristijan odsvirao notu - odsviraj F.

(Music)

(Muzika)

See, these are all right inside of the color palette.

Vidite, sve su one baš u paleti boja.

If you played an E.

Kad bi odsvirao E.

See, these all lie right inside

Vidite, sve one leže unutar

of this general emotional palette that we were painting.

ove generalne emotivne palete koju smo slikali.

If you played an F# though,

Ako biste, pak, odsvirali fis,

(Dissonance)

(Disonancija)

to most people's ears, they would perceive that as a mistake.

za sluh većine ljudi, to bi opazili kao grešku.

So I'm going to show you, we're going to play just for a second.

Pokazaću vam, sviraćemo samo na koji sekund.

And we're going to play on this palette.

I sviraćemo na ovoj paleti.

And at some point, Christian will introduce this note.

U jednom trenutku, Kristijan će predstaviti ovu notu.

And we won't react to it.

I mi nećemo reagovati na istu.

He'll introduce it for a second

Predstaviće je na sekund

and then I'll stop, I'll talk for a second.

i zatim ću ja stati, pričaću koji sekund.

We'll see what happens when we play with this palette.

Videćemo šta se dešava kada sviramo sa ovom paletom.

(Music)

(Muzika)

So someone could conceptually perceive that as a mistake.

Neko je konceptualno mogao ovo opaziti kao grešku.

The only way that I would say it was a mistake

Jedino zbog čega ću ja reći da je bila greška

is in that we didn't react to it.

je to što nismo odreagovali na nju.

It was an opportunity that was missed.

To je bila propuštena mogućnost.

So it's unpredictable. We'll paint this palette again.

Nepredvidivo je. Naslikaćemo ovu paletu ponovo.

He'll play it. I don't know how we'll react to it, but something will change.

On će je odsvirati. Ne znam kako ćemo odreagovati na nju, ali nešto će biti drugačije.

We'll all accept his ideas,

Prihvatićemo njegove ideje

or not.

ili ne.

(Music)

(Muzika)

So you see, he played this note.

Dakle, vidite, odsvirao je svoju notu.

I ended up creating a melody out of it.

A ja sam napravio melodiju od nje.

The texture changed in the drums this time.

Tekstura se promenila u bubnjevima ovaj put.

It got a little bit more rhythmic, a little bit more intense

Postala je malo ritmičnija, intenzivnija

in response to how I responded to it.

kao posledica moje reakcije.

So there is no mistake.

Dakle, ne postoji greška.

The only mistake is if I'm not aware,

Jedina greška je ukoliko nisam svestan,

if each individual musician is not aware

ukoliko svaki muzičar nije svestan

and accepting enough of his fellow band member

i ne prihvata dovoljno svog kolegu iz benda

to incorporate the idea and we don't allow for creativity.

pri ubacivanju ideje i ukoliko ne dozvoljavamo kreativnost.

So jazz, this bandstand is absolutely amazing.

Dakle džez, ova pozornica je potpuno neverovatna.

It's a very purifying experience.

Veoma pročišćavajuće iskustvo.

And I know that I speak for all of us when I tell you that we don't take it for granted.

I znam da govorim u ime svih kad vam kažem da je ne shvatamo olako.

We know that to be able to come on the bandstand and play music is a blessing.

Znamo da je mogućnost za sviranje na pozornici blagoslov.

So how does this all relate to behavioral finance?

Kako se sve to ogleda u finansijama?

Well we're jazz musicians,

Pa mi smo džez muzičari,

so stereotypically we don't have a great relationship to finance.

pa strereotipno nemamo baš najbolji odnos sa finansijama.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Anyway, I just wanted to sort of point out the way that we handle it.

Kako god, želeo sam da istaknem kako se mi sa tim nosimo.

And the other dynamic of it

A druga dinamika toga je

is that we don't micromanage in jazz.

što nema vođa u džezu.

You have some people who do.

Postoje ljudi koji to čine.

But what that does

Ali time se

is it actually limits the artistic possibilities.

zapravo ograničavaju umetničke mogućnosti.

If I come up and I dictate to the band

Ako ja dođem i krenem da dirigujem bendu

that I want to play like this and I want the music to go this way,

kako želim da sviramo ovako i da zvučimo ovako

and I just jump right in ...

i jednostavno uskočim u ...

ready, just play some time.

spremni, samo svirajte neko vreme.

One, two, one, two, three, four.

Jedan, dva, jedan, dva, tri, četiri.

(Music)

(Muzika)

It's kind of chaotic because I'm bullying my ideas.

Pomalo je haotično jer namećem svoje ideje.

I'm telling them, "You come with me over this way."

Govorim im: "Pođite sa mnom u ovom pravcu".

If I really want the music to go there,

Ukoliko zaista želim da muzika ide u tom pravcu,

the best way for me to do it is to listen.

najbolji način je da slušam.

This is a science of listening.

Ovo je nauka slušanja.

It has far more to do with what I can perceive

Mnogo više se bazira na tome šta mogu da opazim

than what it is that I can do.

nego na tome šta mogu da uradim.

So if I want the music to get to a certain level of intensity,

Dakle, ako želim da muzika postigne određeni intenzitet,

the first step for me is

prvi korak za mene je

to be patient, to listen to what's going on

da budem strpljiv, da osluškujem šta se dešava

and pull from something that's going on around me.

i izvučem to iz nečega što se dešava oko mene.

When you do that, you engage and inspire the other musicians

Kada postupate tako, inspirišete i ostale muzičare

and they give you more, and gradually it builds.

i daju vam više i postepeno se gradi.

Watch. One, two, a one, two, three, four.

Posmatrajte. Jedan, dva, jedan, dva, tri, četiri.

(Music)

(Muzika)

Totally different experience when I'm pulling ideas.

Potpuno drugačije iskustvo kada povlačim ideje.

It's much more organic. It's much more nuanced.

Mnogo je više organski. Mnogo je suptilnije.

It's not about bullying my vision or anything like that.

Nije kao kada namećem svoju viziju.

It's about being here in the moment,

Sve se svodi na bivstvovanje u trenutku,

accepting one another

međusobno prihvatanje

and allowing creativity to flow.

i dopuštanje kreativnosti da poteče.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
