“Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.”

Charlie Parker

...and that guy lives it...

[JazzVideoGuy]

@saxfan9 Meurkens, yes. He's a real artist.

[urbanV8]

[Rrymcmaster]

[disposition073]

bird's not the word...

[primequeen]

THIS IS NOT "BIRD IS THE WORD"!!!

It is yardbird......

[ElizabethGS]

He KNOWS that....geez.

Charlie Parker? 'Bird'? is the 'Word'? Get it? good grief. Nobody understands a play on words or subtlety today...

[turbolawnmower]

awesome post!

but isn't this tune called 'yardbird suite'?

[JazzVideoGuy]

ah ha!

[tjc197]

Lol. I liked it but not something I'm gonna listen to often.

[Chordwayze]

Sounds like a hard-bopper.. And if it isn't customised, it would be in 'C'. I don't believe the 'bopper' comes in any other key.

Nice instrument even in the basic form.

Great playing for sure.

[obgyno]

...jazz harmonica..he's good but it sounds really cheap.

[dklypz]

beast. Moroni really knows his scales and subs.

[riam76]

holy shit thats some harmonica playing. incredibly melodic

[detectosoretes]

Superb!!!

[XAROPESEY]

olé......muy bueno.-sincero saludo e gracias, con un saludo a la distancia.-

[TimeClypse]

What kind of harmonica does he use? What key is it in?

[RlzzMRginC]

Are you playing a customized hard bopper?

Nice timing.

[musicman304]

Freakin Awesome

[Souvergin]

That's real music!

[dbigwalker]

Wow, that's what I call playing the chromatic harmonica.

[dzjinji]

This is just too good! Another Toots in the makin'!

[TonyBtheEG]

the directing, editing, and post production are huge roles in these films. they rule mucho and the music rules as well

[IrinaVibe]

Dado Moroni is the man!

[harshmistress]

Nice :-)

[cubeguru]

Hendrik teaches at a jazz camp I go to. Simply Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DieselBodine]

Hello JazzVideoGuy, it's just too cool hearing bebop on the harmonica! I just posted my version of "Yardbird Suite." I'd be honored if you'd come to my channel and check it out. 5 stars to you!

[jackg453]

I'm so glad I found this.

[Markedupshoes]

props to this guy who can play cool riffs and licks on such a small instrument.
