love how the trumpet is bent up, that actually happened by a horrible accident but when dizzy played the broken trumpet it was louder and better than before, so he kept it like that, a jazz miracle
@jimpoopy16 Actually the horn was a Martin Committee Custom that was manufactured that way. In Diz's big band all the trumpet section had one, including Lee Morgan.
@returninginsurgent the main melody is from a different version of this song. the James Brown sample was used for the drums and the secondary melody as well as a few random James Brown voice samples from the song "Bring It Up (Hipster's Avenue)".
@eboyd32 thanks....that's what I thought. The bassline from this song (really the charlie parker version) along with the horns and hollar from "Bring it"...nice. I coulda swore that this melody was the JB song, just filtered for the bassline. You know what.....there are two versions of Words I manifest...one may NOT have this melody.
@returninginsurgent all versions i can find have the melody from the Charlie Parker version of this. a few may be in better or worse quality but that's it, though the wikipedia page entry for "No More Mr. Nice Guy" lists "Manifest" as well as a remix and, if i recall correctly, states that the remix is the version that was popularized. i do not own NMMNG, however, and therefore have not seen whether or not there was a remix or if it was just a wikipedia page error.
Using a bent trumpet with a microphone is easier since the natural posture when blowing a trumpet is about 30 deg below the horizontal. THe bending just makes up for it. If you look at Miles he is always looking down with his trumpet: I bet he did not use the bent one to avoid people saying he was imitating Dizzy. Is it true that it came from an accident with the trumpet? Who know?
@TheGameboycolor2 Actually it's because if you puff your cheeks it makes the air take longer to get to the instrument, and makes you generally out of tune, but you know it could be that as well.
All of you who are just getting into jazz: Enjoy! And remember bebop isn't the only great stuff -- Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis are completely different, and completely wonderful.
Wow. Playing trumpet actually cause physical harm to him? Maybe this is why they say don't puff your cheeks. You kind of have to for low notes, but I don't think low notes will do that... o_o
@b0n3z3z you actually don't...puffing out your cheeks is the wrong way to play trumpet, even if Dizzy does do it...it takes away from your dynamic range--which, for Dizzy, isn't really a big deal since he's more of a screamer
People of Jazz World. I just posted an arrangement of "Just Friends". We would like to hear your comments as this is our first attempt with Jazz. Please click on my link 'alfonsopablo' next to this comment to listen.
WOOOHH!!! was just lookin around for jazz songs and came across this,, I recognised the words I manifest sample instantly,,crazyyy!!! and this is great song btw!
WOOOHH!!! was just lookin around for jazz songs and came across this,, I recognised the words I manifest sample instantly,,crazyyy!!! and this is great song btw!
to comment on the description, the reason his trumpet is like that is because he bent it accidentally, and he liked the sound so he had all of his trumpets custom made that way.
@andyydna101 From what my horn player friends have told me you are supposed to keep your cheeks in/flat so this is technically probably not the correct technique but it works for him.
Does anyone know where I can find the score for this? Or has anyone tried notating this piece down? Would appreciate any help given because I'm doing a study on this piece! Thanks! :)
kids dont appreciate there music or its origin. they think their music is just that. But if was;t for the founding father's and mothers, we wouldn;t have any rock, rap, hip hop. or pop.
It's killer, for sure. But the best version (in my opinion) is the hotter-than-fire version to be found on Diz's 1954 album, "Afro". Now THAT is something else!
Yeah Dizzy was definitely one of the jazz elite! Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt, John Coltrane, Earl Bostic, and the Gil Evans Orchestra, are among my faves as well
does anybody know where i can find the original arrangement of this online? dizzy did it in 3/4 with nothing but hand percussion, flute, bass, and himself, and i have it on cd but can't find it online
Still one of the greatest recordings ever made Feb 22, 1946 for RCA Victor. Originally written in 1942 as 'Interlude,' Gillespie renamed the tune to its current title during the pivotal Allied offensive in Tunisia (1942-43), a critical turning point during WWII. For a real treat, recommend you listen to this tune as was played by Gillespie, Parker, Roach, and the great Al Haig at the June 22, 1945 Town Hall concert - a full 8 months BEFORE this Gillespie recording.
I have to do a concert with this song on the recorder at the beginnning its easy by the end it is the hardest.(I have the hardest part (part 1) )( there are three parts).I need help at the last part.(Progress report is coming out in 4 days!)(I think I might be the only person who would want to get an A.( I have straight A`s and I want to keep it that way.)
i love this piece, thank you for posting this! :) if you're interested check out my flute version of this piece on my channel page and tell me what you think! :D:D:D
@Labdude0 jj johnson and kai winding had a version but it hasnt seen the light of day in here yet /you can listen to israel by them which sounds something like that
@spacepatrolman yeah, that's some good jazz there :D But the bass gang takes a really awesome twist on it--they're a bass quartet, and they give it a whole new sound
@uhohwhoops on his birthday, as a surprise, his friends hired some comedians, and they went overboard dancing, and they accidently kicked the trumpet, which cause it to bend about 45 degrees. He was devastated, but as soon as he found out it sounded different, like a trumpet with a mute, he decided he was going to use it. . He was planning to have it patented, but it was already patented in 1861by a French musician...
@TheMrTim Lol, he didn't use it because of the sound, he actually used it so he could read music and still look have his sound projects forward. As you probably noticed he puffs hi cheeks which is not acceptable to most, so he broke a lot of rules
@uhohwhoops Its a unusual one. I play a normal one, and you dont see it that much. Ive seen it once or twice out of the hundreds of instrument payers ive seen.
To this day I do not understand how he played with 100% puffed cheeks. What a different embouchere he must have had! Same effect though. Amazing trumpeter.....
@eboyd32 Yo!! Thanks for the history lesson. I always listened to Jazz when I was a shortie because my uncle played it along with Latin Jazz & Salsa. And I grew up listening to Gangstarr, Poor Righteous Teachers, A Tribe Called Quest, etc. Hip- Hop was beautiful then. I was just listening to King Sun & dissecting his lyrics. Man his lyrics were based on self-empowerment, & knowledge. Today hip-hop is a marketing tool for the U.S. incarceration business. Just my opinion. Much love, Peace.
@pitolove71 no doubt! jazz officionados like the idiot above need to realize that hip hop pretty much resurrected jazz and they should be grateful. digging in crates and sampling gave birth to a whole new generation of jazz fans. i owe my interest in jazz to hip hop, plain and simple. regardless of how i got into it though, i love jazz now.
@1Rhythmystic Did you see red because he used the word idiot? Obviously that's annoying but I think there is something in what he says. It's not like jazz was ever dead etc but it's true that some people have discovered jazz via other genres. It's also true that a lot of hip hop lyrics are simply an unintelligent glorification of crime but any form of music could potentially be spoilt like that. I'd rather focus on how good hip, hop can be, despite some people just not having a taste for it.
@eboyd32 You found jazz by way of hip hop, so that must be how your generation found it? I owe my interest in jazz to ignoring hip hop which was and is getting played all around at the expense of jazz. Perhaps you should not assume that your experience is something that your generation shares. Hip hop resurrecting jazz? Have you been to New Orleans? Chicago? New York? San Fran? Kansas City? Jazz was never dead!
@eboyd32I agree with you 100%... I got into Hip Hop in the early 80's, when I was 11 or 12... and I love all kinds of music... but I don't think I'd own three Ron Carter albums (who, by the way, played some Bass on "Low End Theory", it's not like they just sampled him) if it wasn't for A Tribe Called Quest.. and I jumped when I first heard this song because of Gangstarr... I'm so glad I'm not as closeminded as some of these fanatics... Peace
@steveknows62 you are an idiot i listen to hip hop AND this (not lil-wayne, 50 cent and all them mind you) but saying something like that is prejudice and foolish, there is no need to start over at all. who are you to say which is real music anyway.
@thePedro1er i must have misunderstood what you said. your comment came off as "hip hoppers need to listen to this, take notes, and stop making shitty music." i apologize for the misunderstanding though i am still unsure what you meant by your comment.
@eboyd32 i was just saying that what steveknows62 said is a silly thing to say. he most likely doesnt listen to hip hop
so why should he say that hip hop fans dont know what real music is? and that this is the only music to listen to? there is no "real" music and there are allot of hip hop acts or producers out there which could be considered just as good as these guys. just because of all that "disposable commercial rap" hip hop has been given a bad name. but there are great artists within it.
@steveknows62 Y'know, I may be in the minority here, but I think it's great that there are so many different kinds of music, because we have the freedom of choice.
I'm really glad I don't subscribe to your brand of musical fascism.
Uno che come giudizio scrive " bella merda" che musica può ascoltare? "Amici" , X Factor, o i Dream Theater... che cultura musicale può avere..quella del mediocre Italiano ignorante!!!!!
For anyone who writes any thing else about how it is incorrect to puff the cheeks when playing the trumpet here is some info. Yes, it is incorrect for most players, but some, such as Dizzy here, have a tissue and muscle condition of weakened oral and throat walls causing them to expand involuntarily. If you will notice at 0:55, then you can see that it is not just his cheeks but also his throat that puffs out. This condition is also more common in men than women.
@illogicalman21 Just goes to show that not all embouchures have to be textbook. If it works it works. John Iveson (trombonist) is another good example. The most peculiar embouchure, yet he's still a natural. Anything else you'd like comment on? Okay.
ución musical en los cánones de la música de Jazz. El sonido "inventado" por Parker, Powell, Gillespie, Monk y otros jóvenes de New York a principios de la década de los cuarenta en el Minton's Playhouse de Harlem, amplió los registros sonoros de la música afro americana, exploró las armonías y explotaron todas las posibilidades de los ritmos y de los tempos, y lo hicieron - y ese es el merito, sin restar una pizca de swing a la nueva música.

@1Rhythmystic Did you see red because he used the word idiot? Obviously that's annoying but I think there is something in what he says. It's not like jazz was ever dead etc but it's true that some people have discovered jazz via other genres. It's also true that a lot of hip hop lyrics are simply an unintelligent glorification of crime but any form of music could potentially be spoilt like that. I'd rather focus on how good hip, hop can be, despite some people just not having a taste for it.

@eboyd32 You found jazz by way of hip hop, so that must be how your generation found it? I owe my interest in jazz to ignoring hip hop which was and is getting played all around at the expense of jazz. Perhaps you should not assume that your experience is something that your generation shares. Hip hop resurrecting jazz? Have you been to New Orleans? Chicago? New York? San Fran? Kansas City? Jazz was never dead!

@eboyd32I agree with you 100%... I got into Hip Hop in the early 80's, when I was 11 or 12... and I love all kinds of music... but I don't think I'd own three Ron Carter albums (who, by the way, played some Bass on "Low End Theory", it's not like they just sampled him) if it wasn't for A Tribe Called Quest.. and I jumped when I first heard this song because of Gangstarr... I'm so glad I'm not as closeminded as some of these fanatics... Peace

@steveknows62 you are an idiot i listen to hip hop AND this (not lil-wayne, 50 cent and all them mind you) but saying something like that is prejudice and foolish, there is no need to start over at all. who are you to say which is real music anyway.

@thePedro1er i must have misunderstood what you said. your comment came off as "hip hoppers need to listen to this, take notes, and stop making shitty music." i apologize for the misunderstanding though i am still unsure what you meant by your comment.
eboyd32 1 year ago
@eboyd32 i was just saying that what steveknows62 said is a silly thing to say. he most likely doesnt listen to hip hop
so why should he say that hip hop fans dont know what real music is? and that this is the only music to listen to? there is no "real" music and there are allot of hip hop acts or producers out there which could be considered just as good as these guys. just because of all that "disposable commercial rap" hip hop has been given a bad name. but there are great artists within it.

@steveknows62 Y'know, I may be in the minority here, but I think it's great that there are so many different kinds of music, because we have the freedom of choice.
I'm really glad I don't subscribe to your brand of musical fascism.

For anyone who writes any thing else about how it is incorrect to puff the cheeks when playing the trumpet here is some info. Yes, it is incorrect for most players, but some, such as Dizzy here, have a tissue and muscle condition of weakened oral and throat walls causing them to expand involuntarily. If you will notice at 0:55, then you can see that it is not just his cheeks but also his throat that puffs out. This condition is also more common in men than women.

@illogicalman21 Just goes to show that not all embouchures have to be textbook. If it works it works. John Iveson (trombonist) is another good example. The most peculiar embouchure, yet he's still a natural. Anything else you'd like comment on? Okay.

ución musical en los cánones de la música de Jazz. El sonido "inventado" por Parker, Powell, Gillespie, Monk y otros jóvenes de New York a principios de la década de los cuarenta en el Minton's Playhouse de Harlem, amplió los registros sonoros de la música afro americana, exploró las armonías y explotaron todas las posibilidades de los ritmos y de los tempos, y lo hicieron - y ese es el merito, sin restar una pizca de swing a la nueva música.
