Wynton Marsalis Shreds on Letterman

[Akordeon00]

haha :D

[Blindianboy]

LOL!!! Clearly not him! HAHA!!

[music4all7]

Haha. If the trumpet playing didn't tip you off then you knew it was a different recording when you heard the synthesized strings in the background(while real strings are playing in the real performance). Overall, pretty ingenious of whoever did this "prank" video. Nice synchronization between what Wynton is playing and the "dubbed" recording.

[phanders88]

That's NOT Wynton??? Thank goodness.

[CorneliusLogan]

Within the first 20 seconds "Wynton" has missed 4 notes and had trouble hitting Gs above the staff. Ha.

[JohnsonPollock]

Hilarious joke video!

[funboxx12]

it sounds like me when touched a trumpet the first time and messing around haha

[georgechris666]

had me going for about 10 sec

[rufusboss16]

HAHAHA that is not Wynton Marsalis play

[anniers7]

My favorite part was the promanent spit bubble early in the solo.

[phanders88]

WM is the absolute BEST trumpet player of all time.

I did NOT enjoy this number. At all.

[SRV1]

@phanders88 That would be Al Hirt but now its Allen Vizzutti. Study up!!

[isrobots]

LOL

[MrPrincetrumpet]

Repeat over to yourselves, dummies: "It's a joke."

[beethovenboy]

He should've been reading his music instead of memorizing it.

[Thelookoutslookout]

@beethovenboy You do know this is a joke video, right?

[beethovenboy]

@Thelookoutslookout Really!?

[cck92]

damn sound hackers



[Trumpetz81]

rofl

[bikehappens]

ok wait this is just dymb... like, why is this even funny... great..some kid sucks at playing trumpet... I have to hear that kinda stuff in high school band everyday....

[cogitoergosummmx]

the sinth strings just bring it home.

[bbaker90]

this is too funny!

[TheDnatethegreat]

Just about pissed my pants laughing

[tripjet999]

You got to be pretty good to put together something like this. LOL!

[jevonj77]

Who the hell!!! Is playing over this recording!!! horrible!!

[jazz4]

So funny.

[MagicRain505]

I want to hear this actual track, man, it's beautiful. Like, out of humorous context.

But in this shred video context, it's just one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. LOL.

[12345brick1]

looks like wynton got rusty

[cornettheory]

Dis how you play dat Trompet!

[camou222]

hahahaha so funny, and what he plays fits with wynton's fingering!

[donrogo]

Fake but FUNNY!!!! LMFAO!!!!

[conntrumpet]

FAKE!!!! i cant belive this shit wynton is the best!!!

[prsguitarsr4me]

sounds like Ambrose Akinmusire...

[chuchurocket11]

I LAUGHED SO HARD

This is so clever in the simplest way. Oh man, thank you for that.

[rkfilm1]

This video is no fake!!! It is the best trompet-player all over the world!

[patricksallings]

I love the recent trend in "shreds" videos that ventures into new genres and leaves the actual fans of those genres puzzled

[fergman333]

The way you can tell this is not Wynton is not that it is a poor performance, but that it is an original performance. Awesome!!

[wutrain]

@fergman333 ZING!

[sleeplessinsale]

LOL at 2:40.. straining and so out of tune !!

[corruptedxsilence]

oh my god, im going to die laughing

[MCalixte89]

lol wow im following his fingers, the sound isnt matching. not only that but the cellos are clearly playing in parts that i didnt hear them. lol the person who uploaded this dubbed over his song

[born1914]

lmfao !!!!!!!!!!!!!



[pavanatanaya]

This playing is so bad, that someone with real chops must have dubbed it. Its funny if you play Trumpet.

[perrishband]

Though disturbing (damn, man, aintcha got better things to do with your trumpet?), this hoax is pretty amazing as most -MOST- of the hoaxed notes on the soundtrack are indeed notes that could be played with the actual valve combinations Wynton himself used. I can't help but be impressed by that..

[2teKnoA]

ROFL!!!! i loooove those shreds...

this one is another brilliant piece!!!

[tthueson]

There are few kids in America under the age of 17 that would understand these videos, given how bad their "real" music sucks.

[TheChriso1]

I thought WTF he sounds like a learner. Then I thought he out of tune and then what he cannot get the top notes. Then I realised this is total crap.

[montrii]

Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on

and on and then you die and the horn wins. (Diz) This I know from experience, but I didn't think Wynton did . . . . Hey, this is a fake, no kidding! For all who couldn't tell . . . .

[sirqitous]

The ending especially kills me.  Mad brilliant send-up!

[pinkbabymonster]

Absolute genius.

[runningbeartransport]

Every time I watch this I laugh harder. Thanks for posting. Very funny and creative.

If you don't see it for what it is, you must've checked your brain at the door.

[dybb234]

I finally looked up shredding. What a relief!!!

[saxewiww]

That is pure magic. Make the most of it before Wynton pulls it down. Although maybe he might just see the funny side of it? Fantastic.

[DavesTrumpet]

Oh damn. I shouldn't be laughing, but I am!



[newzbomb]

Funniest shit ever....lol made my day........

[rlholo]

Of course it's fake... haha... watch?v=-fRf1_K6mPo

[awwwyeaboyeeee]

st sanders would be proud

[MrDrumsPhilAmbros]

I WORKED WITH DIZ...AND THIS CAT IS NO DIZ AT LEAST WITH CHART ...O WELL NET TIME WYNTON/ phil ambros see phil on youtube sinatra and phil ambros

[MrDocPennington]

that was awful, could not have been him

[PushN88]

Wow.  You're good, man. That took a lot of careful work.

[Trumpetplayer60076]

what the hell??

[kingpleasure]

2:18 almost blew me out of my chair! And the ending is so sick it's brilliant. LOL

[benjamintrb]

terrible

[MrRemiCormier]

What's scary is that all the fingerings match with the notes he does... I really hope it is fake.

[masterofthehorn]

LOL!!!

[PalabraViva3]

@NHockerJazz You should then hear the Miles shreds. It put me in tears the whole time, but you have to be familiar with the original tune though.

[ricaard]

Some of it's actually cool, you can tell whoever the guy is can really play, and is not really good at downplaying his actual talent....

[pemgolf]

True free expression and occasional off center note is the hallmark of true artist...BRAVO WINSTON !!!

got to get that album.

[bssnboo]

I am literally in tears! At first I was like..."ohhh child, he is OFF HIS GAME today!!!!" and then that trill was so absurd, hahah.....

Should have caught on at that janky piano entrance...good times

hilarious!

[OrangeSodaKing]

Genius! I just made one for a piano concerto and I'm addicted to these things!

Hilarious. :)

[ww1664]

It's the first original thing I've heard on a Wynton video

[supahsekzy]

@ww1664 Rofls!  So true.

[cdstingj]

I laughed and laughed. Thank you.

[Briankozmo]

okay, how does one actually make a video like this? What kind of audio programs are used?

[clayravin]

smooooooooooooth! i love it.

[clayravin]

haaahaaahaahaaaa

[Axyfication]

Love the leap down at 2:17, when Wynton suddenly pulls his head to the the left! And those lines, they've got hints of cool about them, but just stuffed up so bad!! Congrats to @delphianjazz, or whoever did this - absolute genius!

[poopoo111222333]

Wimpen at his best!!!

[James9533]

lmao

[charliefrise]

ahhaha for a minute i was like WHAT THE EFF IS HAPPENING!?!?

[beastmodewithcheese]

ya its pretty fake, good try, I believed it at first, then I thought "Wynton isnt this bad", lol, but I did find the real video.

[Shanopla]

I am a huge fan of Wynton. But I definitely laughed out loud. Really nice parody - cheers!

[cadillacdude1975]

this is for everyone. do not hate on what Wynton is doign here. for those of you who do not know, Jazz is a language spoken thru the instrument by the player. it is up to the listener to be able to comprehend and decipher what is being said.

do not blame anyone but yourself for your inability to grasp or translate what the artist is feeling or trying to say. that projects nothing but your true ignorance and self short sightedness for any artistic form, Jazz, poetry, art or whatever.

[rdangelo]

@cadillacdude1975 "hate on"? Do you mean "hate"? "Hate on" is bad grammar.  Period.

[bichinrich]

@cadillacdude1975 LOLOLOLOLOL at all the people watching this who dont know what shreds are!

[Briankozmo]

@bichinrich I fell for it :(

[mrmusicmanification]

@cadillacdude1975 have you seen the other shreds videos the point of them is to make the people playing look like they're playing bad when actually the had a player lay down a bad track to the video this solo is clearly fake it even has him trying to play notes that don't come out and is constantly on the wrong chord. This video was in fact a joke calm down. Yes every thing you say is true but like everything else there is a limit.

[gerrythrash]

Wynton has souded better. This is definitlely not one of his better moments. 

[ccapello123]

@gerrythrash no man, wynton ws in the north

[docpivot]

You got me Delphian.  Hook, line and sinker. You got me.

[ccapello123]

@docpivot smells fishy...

[trumpetdudeman07]

This video is fake... Voiced over by some poor trumpet player. Don't think for a second wynton would play so poorly.

[delphianjazz]

@trumpetdudeman07 I love you.

[Cthulhu1970]

@delphianjazz I don't know, some people are just so touchy. lol love it!

[montrii]

@delphianjazz actually the guy who voiced it over has to be pretty good to even get close to making it look real.

[ccapello123]

@trumpetdudeman07 no man! it was real strobbe! i was there! why r u dissin wynton? he was doing this on purpose, because they gave him a lot of money! pffff... you're such a wanker...

[rdangelo]

@trumpetdudeman07 actually it took a GREAT tpt player to pull this off. As tongue-in-cheek as it is, it is actually more creative than the original.

[ChristianGastl]

@trumpetdudeman07 well.. i actually thought, it was wynton.. thanks.

[ChristianGastl]

@trumpetdudeman07 by the way: this isnt played by a "poor trumpet player", cause this was synchronized perfectly.. he actually has to be skilled very well! i loved that shred. one of the best i know!! thanks for uploading! (: haha..

[alithea1]

@trumpetdudeman07

No one gave any response to the string sounds, this guy did as part of this parody. The creators of this know some things about music, no matter what anyone says. Just laugh and A B the original it's comical.

[dan131m]

@trumpetdudeman07 Whoever dubbed over this was clearly a pretty *good* trumpet player -- he used an appropriate tone, matched up what he was playing perfectly with the video, and made it sound *just* realistic enough that you do a double take before you realize what's going on.

[bimmerfun]

@trumpetdudeman07 To be honest, i think it's a really GOOD trumpet player playing crazy stuff for a laugh...You can tell the guy can play in "real life"...

[5hoele55]

On one hand I am mystified by all the Wynton hate.

On the other hand, every great jazz trumpeter in history was vilified in their day.

By the way, if someone wants to hear the actual soundtrack from his letterman appearance (as opposed to this joke track) it's on YouTube.

[ccapello123]

@5hoele55 on one hand i'm burned, on the other hand i'm skiff, by the way, i never drive by the way, because i live by the crippled

[Polishjazzman]

I hate Wynton, this is fuckin' hilarious!

[ccapello123]

@Polishjazzman i hate warschau...

[ccapello123]

@Polishjazzman i hate warsjou

[mattflumerfelt]

I think I actually like that better than what Wynton normally plays.

[ccapello123]

@mattflumerfelt .........wanker

[marioaleal]

ROFL. Now, THAT was funny.

[corruptedxsilence]

lol it just sounds like miles...

[Arborwaychet]

Ok ... you got me! Suspect concept but so well executed I fell out of my chair. The way you synchronised the fingering ... the way you played it 'off' ... funny shit man

[161616161616ism]

whoa i got scared at first, then i realized it was fake

[TokyoBigBand]

Laughed so hard I cried. Truly amazing dub!

[groverman]

Hahahahaha! This is fabulous. Thanks so much. To the people dumping on this, get a sense of humor. Most anybody who's going to be looking for Wynton on YouTube are already well aware of how well he plays. And if they aren't, hopefully they have the sense to scroll down a few inches to see all the comments about the "joke". People are smarter than you think they are. Give them a little credit. No need for name calling... dumba**! Haha. I love irony.

[aaronamccoy]

branford way looser wynton uptight anal

[saxman1141]

obviously fake

[jbcraipeau]

LOL !! great ! There are some cool chords on it =) Is it you playin the trumpet ?? You are obviously a great trumpeter to play this way...

[secure1]

This has to be one of the best videos I have ever seen LOL!!!!! Thanks to whoever did this!

[sivopenev]

Wow, In the first minute I didn't realise its fake.. Well done joke :)

[SoldierofAsgard]

It is one thing if it is an obvious joke, but people are believing you. People are stupid man, you can't expect them to understand what your doing. It is not right.

[SoldierofAsgard]

I hope you know what kind of scum you are man. Your the biggest piece of trash to do something like this. This is an overdubbed video people. This isn't wynton marsalis. You are the scum of the earth.

[tomthefunky]

@SoldierofAsgard: Get a sense of humor, man.

[ccapello123]

@tomthefunky wanker

[giantsteps]

@SoldierofAsgard HAHA wow man. Calm down. Quite honestly, this sounds about 100 times better than Wynton actually sounds... By the way, "shreds" is an internet joke - where people overdub funny shit over musical performances. It's common.

[rdangelo]

@SoldierofAsgard lady, you need to grow a sense of humor. Everyone knows this is dubbed in gibberish. Actually, as a trumpet player, I can tell you that a VERY good player did this, whoever he was (I"m dying to know).

[pseudokowski]

@SoldierofAsgard Wynton's nothing special & has done nothing for music but make "Jazz" a familiar term. Sure he's tryin to keep it alive but nobody's done anything for the Trumpet since Woody Shaw!

[pissedpatriot1776]

My friend, who was a trumpet player, told me a while back that he saw Marsalis play on Letterman, and he had lost respect for him, because he wasn't "that good" anymore.. I could not believe it. He then showed me this HILARIOUS joke of a video.. He bought it hook line and sinker. I KNEW something wasn't right, so I compared it to ANOTHER REAL version of Marsalis on the REAL Letterman, and then laughed my ass of when I realized what was done. Any musician MUST appreciate the humor here LOL

[profsvensen]

This really isn't a shred. Jazz really does sound this fucking bad!! You have to be totally deaf to really enjoy It.

[nepalnt21]

this video is actually a very well executed joke

give jazz a chance it might change your world

[funkular]

@profsvensen oh man...the irony of that statement...haha

[OpheliaRising]

@profsvensen

How would you know? You can't possibly hear anything with your head so far up your ass!!!

[profsvensen]

@OpheliaRising I have these special head phones. If you like Wynton's music, OpheliaRising. Virgin Records have a CD out on this cat getting his guts ripped out by a coyote. Have a good day asshole.

[OpheliaRising]

@profsvensen dubya dubya dubya dot youtube dot com forward slash watch?v=7GdTJ1wi2IQ&feature=Pl­ayList&p=14F073ACCFDE98E3&inde­x=0&playnext=1

I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you pull it out long enough to figure out my, oh so complex, formatting and actually listen to Mr. Marsalis and Kathleen Battle. Then tell me: Who knows more about music, you or Mr. Marsalis?

[profsvensen]

@OpheliaRising I don't really give a shit about it or jazz or whatever. I just like pissing people off. Have a good day.

[ccapello123]

@OpheliaRising wanker

[ccapello123]

@OpheliaRising m*sl*m

[OpheliaRising]

@ccapello123 I am a gay man who frequently celebrates the androgynous while 'wanking it'. Something tells me that the Muslims would not approve. The fact that you don't seem to get that is not something that I will hold against the Dutch. I have been to Holland and I know that you are not representative of their general level of intellect. If their luck holds out you will off your pathetic self before you have a chance to sully the Dutch gene pool any further.

Cheers

[ccapello123]

@OpheliaRising i'm italian... wanker

[OpheliaRising]

@ccapello123 Well, that explains everything.---(===

[esharp13]

Funniest thing I've seen in ages!! Superb;)

[iwannajamwithsuperma]

haha, ill admit, it took me a second.

[paris19th]

Hilarious! Especially for some folks who don't even know that this a "joke". So do yourself a flavor, lay off that rock and pop for a moment and go "really" listen to some Dizzy, Shaw, Dorham, Hubbard, Miles( pre-90's), Rooney, or even Wynton to hear the real deal!

[pissedpatriot1776]

Amen to that!

[Axyfication]

@paris19th Don't knock Miles' later stuff dude, it's awesome!

[tisonlythree]

im not ganna lie

i am very confused lol

[tisonlythree]

lmao this fooled me good

[MrKernholio]

That was freakin' hilarious.

[bopguity]

I thought, first hearing the piano intro, "Man, what fucking hack did he hire for this gig? Is that Paul or something?" This is amazing.

[Pianostool]

Hahahah!

[squareeyedgit]

2.17 - the note at the side of the mouth - hilarious!!!!!

Well, the whole thing is great! More subtle than the usual shreds... Good Work!

[thomaskrag]

lol

[trumpeter95]

wow this sucks

[JoseppyMD]

???

[therealbagobones]

Man, thats funny. I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard. Didn't see it coming, either.

[7222Brit]

lmao someone had alot of fun making this

[MrFakeaccount42]

I couldn't stop laughing :-D

That's so great! xD

*rofl*

[B17MIKE]

Yeah,, you got me..  Well played!

[hensel3000]

very well done :)

[djpublius]

you made him sound like the dude at the end of Mo' Better Blues....

[djpublius]

thats funny.... had me for a few moments...... you have a good tone though!

[guitarguy10000]

This is really really good. Holy cow.

[jrpjazz]

At first I said, "What the????", then I laughed at the impossible.

[squareeyedgit]

Nice angle on the whole shreds thing - Easy Listening Shreds, who'da thunk it?!

[Reinocerous25]

yeah, now i know it's fake. I was freaking out a little bit before at hearing Wynton "sound" like that.

[Reinocerous25]

yeah I have the same problem on trombone. It really sounds like he isn't warmed up at all.

[tristanpwned]

this isnt Wynton...

[squareeyedgit]

@tristanpwned nice one, Sherlock

[pavanatanaya]

Funny. I bet Wynton would have a chuckle

[elliotmason]

He Did !

[reclusivesage]

The lick at 1:13 is the best part.

[lambethwalk1]

i tinkeled a little...thanks for the laugh!

[thebluehatman <]

MMM, I love that classic Wynton sound. It takes a true master to make music like this...
