man this dont count they playin it too slow

[pablito162]

Beautiful rendition of this tune... I really enjoyed your approach to the great John Coltrane's classic tune. Please keep up the good work... This is a tune that separates the "Men from the boys" People, who don't know enough music theory usually "choke" on the Chord changes every two beats... Well done!

[harrykaps13]

Wow, the first soloist had a great dark tone and smoooooooth legato throughout his whole range. This second soloist had great clarity and great ideas. But then again, they are professionals lol.

[alexansbe]

This is disappointing. I'd like to hear them play it at the original tempo.

[smoothmove22]

This is amazing!!

[tsaxjazz]

this is some serious playing

[coburn87]

Noice

[TyJHendy]

two amazing trombone players with a fantastic rhythm section. what's not to like?

[punta4]

wow increible!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mnagsy]

so slow. are you serious right now? this is what gives trombone players a bad name. okay, so you can double time, but the changes are going by half as fast, so not impressive. who cuts that guy's hair, while i'm at it. the other guy is legit.

[randomnoob7]

There's a difference between double-time and a 'double-time feel'. They start playing the changes twice as fast when Nils starts playing the head at 2:23. Can't you hear the changes going by twice as fast? Watch the full video, buddy.

[mnagsy]

yea, i wrote that before I watched the whole thing. Still though, why play it like that? trombone players need to step up, that's all I'm saying

[jewishcat]

stop hating on trombone players, let's see you play. these people are great musicians.

[McDutchy]

@mnagsy So I guess you'd like to take two acapella choruses on Giant Steps? These guys are playing great melody. No matter what speed it's at, that's impressive.

[SeybertGuy]

@mnagsy

IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE, THEY SPED IT UP TO DOUBLE TIME, AND THAT INCLUDED THE CHANGES AS WELL. Don't knock these guys, I don't know about Nils Wogram, but I can say HArry Watters is one of the best trombone players I have ever heard, jazz/classical whatever.

[glavryba]

Not bad but a bit weak. Could be much better.

[Jarred111]

I love in the description "a tune that most of us are happy to avoid" Great playing from both players, very fine technique. 5 stars.

[mstroop94]

Nice piece of jazz!

What's that thing on the bell of Harry's trombone?

[Dibidais]

Tuner i think!!!

[allhues]

lovin the awkward chest bump at 6:59

[JonWelchMusic]

It's a beauty, isn't it? Thanks for your perceptive viewing!

[amrein]

wow

[MajinBuu609]

lmfao this was hot

[bobilleg74]

Very nice!

[Rshumway88]

Harry uses a bach 6 1/2 AL.

[TerryScorpio]

[tbonemastar]

[nickmusiclover]
