mo' better blues

[cdubmusic1]

@tobiasrules21 you sound like a 13 year old wining kid. please stop trying to argue a point that you are too young to have witnessed with your own eyes. At 13 the best thing you can do keep practicing to become one of the greatest musicians ever! Talk with your horn, not your mouth! This is knowledge passed down from the pros!

If this song was sex 3:00 would be the ejaculation

[anthony81860]

Denzel stepped his game up on this one.

[jlblessed18]

Xehhii

[yodit617]

This is real music right here yall, gotta love this jammy

[slsmith9296]

if anybody knows of an expansion version of this, let me know. Its hard to be at work and stop and replay the song every 4 and a half min. I just can't get enough of it.

[EliteCheerleader3333]

We are playing this song in jazz band :) and i get a solo :)

[sprsax19]

This is awesome my jazz band plays this song and so far the people in monroe love it because we get paid.

[jmj540]

One of those great films where the music takes over and out acts everything. One of my favorite film moments ever.

[jon76398]

i love the movies of the 90's

[Godsguy12]

The lick bleek plays at 3:00 is about the greatest thing ever

[iplay88atchurch]

Ok I am not a jazz player but I like this tune. So much so I play it as a interlude in church. Young folk get it old folk like it, musicians jam with it!

[Bonnie79]

Denzel has so much swagg, I love his stance!!

[mvadino]

Anyone ever notice the similarity of this song to Bella Delena by The Marketts?

Just sayin...

[akldmaoriboy]

@mvadino I searched and I'm certainly not a musician but I felt your observation was correct. From New Zealand.

[456blaine]

Well Done Spike, Well Done :) Denzel is too cool

[spatmanrobin007]

I love this tune (and this film). I've arranged this tune with one by Abdullah Ibrahim and will put it on my next album when I get the licence clearance!

[smithyboo70]

[Vinitimmons]

i love this movie, Spike, Denzel and Snipes are great. This music make me fell so fine, so better, really a peace of spirit.

[3rdbass618]

Everytime I hear this song, I create a image in my head. Now ladies and gentlemen, picture yourselves on a date with your boyfriend or girlfriend around spring or summertime. You're walking along the riverfront and you stop for a minute. Gazing at the night blue sky and the stars that's in it. You can also feel a smooth breeze blowing on you as you glance at the river and the beautiful scenery around it. The sounds of this song represents that image.

[wickirsinn]

Awesome!!!+

[moketonian]

i love this song.

[ropy89]

i'vs seen this movie a few days ago for the 1st time and i was like WOW !!!

loved the tracks these cats played.

i wonder if Snipes 'n' Washington still can play these instruments,i think they had to learn to play them instead of playback(at least i hope so XD)

[666Guma666]

Saks tenor nice !

[wickirsinn]

We love this film and specially this sound! Thanks for sharing

House of the Blues BG - Rio de Janeiro.

[lygrette]

Miles Davis style is the best style, wow Marsalis wow, this is my favourite movie of all time

[browngal1709]

love this song...had a sixties feel to it

[franckyjo01]

Un vrai régal !

[rosesredvioletsblue]

brilliant!

[ducstang50]

If only music was still made like this.

[womb0womb0]

@ducstang50 There is. It just doesn't find you anymore, you have to go find it.

[timlenord]

Why I wanted to be an Actor. Why I wanted to be a Filmmaker. Wesley Snipes best role besides Nino. My favorite Denzel movie of all time, Training Day in a strong second. Genius. When Bleek and Shadow hit that harmonious note right after "Mo & Josh wanna see you". That's why I wanted to be an Actor.

[maskedidentity72]

This song and movie is amazing! The trumpet fingerings are accurate too! They really did their homework on this one!

[dblackhand]

The best song of the movie.

[Yoshi5007]

nice

[thehustle2009]

one of the first songs i ever copies on my trumpet. love it. this will always be a classic.

[bthomas985]

i could match Denael or Wesley easily with my trombone

[djkboogie71]

love that cello sound

[dodounightwish]

Great song

[AltoSaxBoss]

Great movie

[kjetlag]

[MercedesSantiaga]

Okay, Im going to watch this on netflix tonight. it's on instant play lol

[Hoopermazing]

I loved this movie so much that I named my daughter, Indigo.

[MercedesSantiaga]

@Hoopermazing I said of the two women, I relate more, personality-wise to Indigo. I love that name. I named my son Bishop after the movie Juice LOL Rarely meet any Bishops or Indigos out there.

[ragu0686]

i just came in my pants listening to this

[chelseafc1000]

[detectiveJohnny]

cool しびれる　mo better blues

[Cacau1972rj]

I love this movie and love this song..I hear it eery day in my mp3.

[cloudy903]

[manhbx96]

spike lee is a legend period

[69RedRooster]

porkisgood4u: many times miles played with his back to his audience, or never completely facing them...

[dominicmn]

great great great wonderful marvelous

[poshladdie]

Lovely

[DJon231]

This was such a good movie, Denzel was excellent in this.

[FruitTingle]

ohhhhhhhh this song NEVER gets old!

[kamill241]

pamietam kiedys ogladalem ten film na rtl 7 i nagralem na vhske pozniej mi zginela...ale super ze jest youtube:) dzieki

[porkisgood4u]

if you look at how Denzel is "playing & posing" he's using Miles Davis style

[Azishome]

@porkisgood4u Style is right. Picked a great one to copy.

[original1sun]

@porkisgood4u after reading Miles' autobiography, I think the movie is loosely based on Miles' life...although some of the things happened to other people in Miles' circle...It makes more sense now that you say he is posing and playing like Miles.

[cdubmusic1]

We need more movies like this. I love spike Lee joints because of the reality. I dont think some of the younger musicians respect the powerful voice of music. So what they learned how to play some now what type of influence will they have on musicians younger than them. This movie inspired me more than some of the talented musicians out here. Thanks to Spike for voicing & displaying life from a musicians perspective. I realize my music is not about me but the survival of live music. real music!

[Tobiasrules21]

@cdubmusic1 but some kids do know real music, im13 and have had this song memorized since i was 8. i know how music is supposed to sound.

[carimi1able]

@Tobiasrules21 for sure... we still got it in our blood flowin' freely and wonderfully.... But Denzel is Genius!!!!!!!!

[MosesReyes1]

The name of this cool daddy flick is "Mo Better Blues" by Spike Lee, made in 1990. A look into the chic and slick world of Harlem's jazz scene.

Check out my new song. Look for Moses Reyes.

Without Peace, there is no Beauty

[mr10304]

i used to wanna b like "bleek" when i was a kid

[cito1974]

@mr10304 You got that right! I wanted to be Bleek Gilliam when I grew up too. He was the coolest cat out there in the early 90's next to 'Marcus Graham'. But a far more believable character. The way Marcus could just get any hot chick he wanted was a little cartoonish.

[micrus1975]

kocham ten film...

[mostbrillz]

that is denzel and wesley

[jazzgot101]

is it a movie or what? and who's on the trumped ? Marsalis ?

[BigBoyDarrell]

no, terence blanchard's group is who plays the music

[88naka]

@BigBoyDarrell thats a Brandford Marsalis tune dude.

[BigBoyDarrell]

[bigmo10]

you know not what you speak of.

[kirk7524875248]

You know what? Now that I've listened to it again, I know I was wrong. Thanks to you and the others for pointing that out! I've removed my comment. Peace.

[maxemillianss]

Watch my Band play that song live on the Summer stage

[sumdumfoo1]

good song/good movie. difference between a good song and a good movie? you can FEEL music, you can't feel a movie.

[ILuvPivoting]

I hav to play the drums for this at a concert lol. :P

[Desafinado30]

I have this clip on my ipod and I play along with my alto sax. Love this song and can never get tired of hearing it.

[BusyFilipino]

[Babykilla76]

Denzel è troppo bravo come attore, ma qui è il massimo !!!!!!!!!

(Sto cercando questo film in DVD....)

[yschwarz1]

c'lo ! ma vivo in israele... (-:

solo per completare: denzel ha studiato come a suonare prima e durante del film. e come hai detto,e' bravissimo! (scusa per il mio italino..)

[parker9977]

Shalom!!!questo film è bellissimo!!!!

[yschwarz1]

shalom anche a te!! (-:

[vkladchik]

First of all, it's not a blues piece. Second of all, Branford should go back to playing with Sting (nuff said). Third of all, this song just isn't that great. If you want to hear an upbeat jazz tune, listen Syeeda's Song Flute off of Giant Steps.

I like the ass-kicking contest comment, though.

[DrtyWrm]

Did you watch the movie? Do you know what "Mo Better" is (in the movie) and why he would have the Mo Better blues? This is a Jazz styled blues IMO, Once again if you watched the movie, THE BLUES is exactly what he was going thru, as the catalyst for this song.

[Mokurentate]

thankyou!

[againsthesky]

This kicks more ass than a kickboxer in an ass kicking contest
