New Orleans Street Musicians-When The Saints Go Marching In

[geekluv314]

I love going to New Orleans and hearing the street musicians, most are better than any that you'd pay big money for tickets to go see. Best thing to do (and all tourists need to remember this) try to have at least about $20 in ones on you so you can tip them. It's rude to stand there and enjoy the music without paying because without tips they can't survive. Same goes for the statue people, tip them if you pose with them for pictures. Thanks and come enjoy New Orleans and the surrounding areas!

New orleans is like heaven on earth

[timtwoface]

I've only spent 3 days there but I loved NOLA.

[JLittleBass]

New Orleans is a truly magical place

[Jason2x4]

Only 1 minute continuous? Weak 

[FermerMetal]

0:59 twins? wtf

[TheErdna703]

I would hav immediately had to go to the bank and get more money after emptying my wallet for that note

[iwishyouwereherenot]

pretty sure he is using circulated breathing, haha

[Academic1Researcher]

@iwishyouwereherenot He has talent.

[iwishyouwereherenot]

@Academic1Researcher it takes talent to do that. that was a complement

[Academic1Researcher]

@iwishyouwereherenot Yeah i know i was agreeing with you lol perhaps i sounded sarcastic circular breathing is very hard to master

[MrMaxevans]

music is meant to be lived not read; it is the essence of improvisation

[elma2824]

60 seconds on that note--awesome

[MySlabs]

Good performance brings back old memories.

[21stCntryBrkdwn]

omg! 1:29 - 2:29 just awesome

[SignorThomasino]

That guy is really killer diller on that trumpet! Greetings from Bohemia.

[mariostylo]

AwESOME!

[mrstuffey]

i loved new orleans! i miss it so much

[TheAdam1610]

that 1 minute note was possibly the most impressive thing i've heard in quite a while.

[hibbart55]

this dude is awesome. but its called circle breathing. he pushes a lil air out with his cheeks while he breathes in. thats the only way

[nola305]

@hibbart55 This "dude" is a personal family friend of mine i grew up with, Herman Hack from uptown Carrolton. Herman, if you're reading this, I'm Gerald, remember me ? lol. Great job on that trumpet (as usual). Harriet says hello too.

[earart]

@nola305 And if you see Mr. Hack please tell him that his music made a wonderful travel memory for me - oh how I miss New Orleans....

[nola305]

@earart I'm currently living in Houston, Tx. and i haven't seen Herman since before Katrina, but you can contact him through his page on facebook; Herman Hack Bartholomew........I miss N.O. also :(

[elchupacabras999]

Really awesome!

[nzSkitzo]

And the guy holds the trumpet pitch for EXACTLY one minute!!! 1:28 - 2:28 that's just killer

[vecernicek2]

Pretty cool street scene.

[earart]

Cheers New Orleans -- keep the music and the hope alive!

[McDoxal]

its all in the diaphram lol

[lellowhead]

New Orleans is all about the music (aside from the food.) Some of the best guys are found there. Props to these men.

[ithinkwell]

Three 12 bars phrases of Circular breathing. Loved it. Dixie swing must stay alive, it's so happy! John-Hans Melcher

[borinchulo]

New Orleans is Heaven!!!

[TheAce707]

OMG I was there! They were really good, I gave them ten dollars.

[nola305]

That's Herman Hack blowin' that horn, 'ya heard me! This Christian guy has been at it for a 'lotta years. He's a personal friend of mine since forever,lol.

[maricristinacastel]

Ese trompetista es espectacular!!!

[johntrumpet1977]

holy crap,hes got some lungs

[jaegerhund]

You will find better than average musicians everywhere in New Orleans, This kind of demonstration is common and goes unnoticed often.

[victimdivine]

I have eaten in that same restaruant! It's Cafe Du Monde!! Great place.. i love New Orleans.. great music, great food, great place to be in

I want to be in THAT number for sure :)

[prettybassdoll]

Awesome horn player

[spiritmartyr009]

I was working in NO working on building houses for Habitat of Humanity, and I don't think that there is any city quite like New Orleans.

[zebraXcore]

that guitarist is phenomenal. changing between very difficult jazz chords with ease....and it looks like hes kinda improving a little bit too....amazing.

[Dankidus]

theres no place on earth like NO or LA :)

[legunncat]

This is like the Karate Kid only with trumpet.

[mrtraxxas]

holy shit that guy can play trumpet for a long time

[nurulpss]

maybe he's using circular breathing?

[Gnuso77]

Oh, yeah! Makes me miss NOLA. I REALLY miss Cafe Du Monde.

[scorp111772]

listen to the long winded trumpet player...unbelievable!

[khafi220]

If you can't feel it, I can't explain it to you...I'm feeling that trumpet!

[ADA4750]

euh ... i didn,t watch to the end

[ADA4750]

Nobody seem to pay attention. bunch of fools

[trialbymedia1984]

superbowl please

[sasuke343]

hes a good friend of mine i usually work by him im the young balloon guy

[Sergeantsteamer]

GREAT music! I would have to tip that guy good if i was there. One min holding a note is hard to do. He must not smoke. Lol....

[cibermiche]

that reminded me of the gabriel knight game :)

[161325]

Wow, holding that note for one minute, that takes talent. I am not going to lie, that was Very Impressive. 5/5 stars and favorited.

[nemoyoutu]

OMG 1 minute long !!!! WOOO

[coquimontes]

is that true???? more than a minute holding that note??? Amazing

[primeguy31]

the trumpet player holds that note by a method called "circular breathing", where you actually blow out thru your mouth while breathing in thru your nose at the same time---impossibly hard to learn!! the only other player i know who could do that was the late, great jazz trumpet genius Maynard Ferguson!

i miss NO...the street musicians all just blew me away!! awesome town

[Lecretois]

Yes, circular breathing often used by clarinet players

[JrUidA]

ah bestia!!! hasta cuAndo iba a seguri soplando ese man? yo no duro ni 20 tiempos :S jejee... si hubiera ese tipo d mUsicos de la calle en PerU... :D

[cosbara]

great!

[secretalfa38]

Great music!!!

[dorissoto]

w-a-o...

[ptonelson]

tecnica di respirazione mostruosa! great! Italy.

[tsaosu]

dang!! from 1:30 to 2:30 a minute long that he holds that note!!

[audimanover50]

Thanks for posting this video. It takes me back to our visit last year to N.O., the best part of our holiday in the USA. I enjoyed ALL of the trumpet players solo not just the long note, The guitarist was pretty tidy as well.

[waldoman7]

where you from?

[HMOjala]

Incredible...

[tatsumistico]

¿one minut? ¿is posible?

[clem1075]

Makes me want to travel to N.O. just to try and find this guy to listen,......

[MAEdalgo]

Nice D concert pitch lol.

[the4663]

That was awesome!!

[topchoices]

Wonderful to see a great video with great music and also to see that New Orleans has recovered somewhat!

[aikoichi]

I would whoop out my Keyboard and start playing with them!!

[justsebastian]

Wow...that is a very, very, very long note. Amazing

[hornetsfanjc]

Anyone know who this guy is? Man can he play that or what - he makes that trumpet talk.

[LittleBertrand]

My 2nd cousin tony lujan and i both play the trumpet. I'm sure yall have heard of tony. Anyway, that was an outstanding note he played because he hardly wavered from that same pitch he started at. Loved it.

[Filarpamp]

where did he put the air pomp to play that looooong note??? Great video! Thanks Earart!

[koogeek]

@Filarpamp where did he get the air to play that note and where did he get the air to play the slurred lick afterwards?

[mcgeeak]

@Filarpamp there's a method of continuous breathing that allows him to do that. you breath in through the nose while breathing out through the mouth using air stored in cheeks. its called circular breathing.

[Filarpamp]

@mcgeeak I know what is circular breathing... I was joking about that! But thanks for the clarification!

[avenocturna2000]

Amaizing!!!

[putyourdiscobootson]

ah thats so cool

[Indio156]

HOW COULD THEY JUST WALK BY? When I was in N.O. for a month, all I did was stop and watch ALL the great musicians!!! I live in Manhattan, and WE don't have talent like that on every corner! What a gift!

[xxCCBBxx]

he made that trumpet sing. great solo!

[angoleirodvgr]

The circle breathing is great indeed. A little long for my taste, but talent nontheless.

[rmbb10]

Nice video.

[LadyDorian]

I really wish I could visit NO. Love the video.

[BlackGhostBnD]

<3 this music

[mhaskins73]

[shinoto]

I love to see my home on Youtube it's something else man..it really is..

[paraparanormal]

The guy on guitar can play!

[tuxtehcrusher]

gotta love circular breathing...

[jefferyalbergo]

that guy can blow a horn

[fairviewjoe]

This is New Orleans- the city I love.

[CoolDude8675309]

Only in New Orleans can you get live music just by walking down a street. Long live jazz and long live New Orleans.

[elleoneiram]

Wow! Long note! Go French Quarter

[stupendousdan21]

that's awesome! i wish i could have been there with you.
