[ertatta]

magical! very special indeed as i will now be on a safari for mr shaws cds.. recommendations?

[DajaWaja]

i love this interpretation i just can't get those licks he plays out of mah mind i love his approach!!!

[bigjimsjazz]

It is definately a 182 Flugal made by bach.

Interesting to see it again as it has been out of production for a long time.

Although Dave Monette's "Flumpet" has many similarities (big surprise).

Most of the later Art farmer stuff he is playing the Flumpet which, in my opinion,

sounds quite a bit like the old Bach 182 played with a large mouthpiece (deep cup, large throat).

这首歌的前奏总是听不懂。



[ejp5485]

@72won10lost i know exactly what you mean

ATTENTION GUY IN BLUE AND WHITE STRIPE SHIRT AT 1:18: "YOU NEED TO GROOVE WAY HARDER, THIS SHIT IS HEAVY"

[newmanana]

that's a cornet, not a flugel

[WoodyShawdotcom]

@newmanana Actually, it is a rare flugel model by Bach. Stradivarius 182. It is not a cornet.

[jerec576]

@WoodyShawdotcom What mouthpieces did he usually use on trumpet ? that man was fantastic. truly iconic

[IXSASifuJeff]

Thanks for the notes on the Flugelhorn! Definitely an interesting configuration.

[msmcw]

You know what else he's "using," it's called soul.

[plople1]

@msmcw exactly... it matters what instrument somebody is using but only to an extent. soul and style is what matters

[billmchenry]

I love this! Thank you Woody III !

[jerec576]

What cornet did he use? I know his trumpet was a Bach 180-37 (Which in my opinion is trumped by the Schilke B5) but Im not sure what cornet model.

[mayurasana]

great tone!!!!!!!!!

[akkanbeneko]

Wonderful!

[richmeister1]

A Flugelnet?

[elfhurercico]

He is not playing out. He uses some notes sometimes but nothing more. Sorry bout my English

[soundgrazer]

I am pretty sure this a flugel horn. The tubing is conical, similar to a cornet, but mellow like a tbone.

[soundgrazer]

I am pretty sure this is a flugel horn.

I think Woody is diatonic as well but intentionally plays "out"

[WoodyShawdotcom]

It's a Bach Stradivarius 182 Flugel Horn.

This is confirmed

[stuartmack18]

thats awsome

[RogerSquawk]

its not wrapped like any flugel ive seen, and the bell stem isnt as deep as a flugels.

[stuartmack18]

is it a cornet possibly?

[kcmt01]

It's a Bach Strad 182. I have one. Not really a flugel, not a cornet. A distinct tone.

[fenderstratguy]

I have one that's old and needs repairs. I would consider selling it but I don't know how to play or what to ask.

[fenderstratguy]

Asked a few folks about it and finally just put it on eBay. Search for a Vincent Bach Stradivarius Flugelhorn Model 182.

[KABRIS1]

@soundgrazer "Out" is intervallically outlining other tonal centers in the chromatic scale.

[MEHackett2]

Hey Woody! Thanks for posting this! This is indeed a Bach #182 flugel, we had one in our high school band room when I was a kid. Ours was quite out of tune, not a great horn. A very compact sound more like a cornet than a trumpet. I'll send you a PM.

[watski]

Beautiful playing from a wonderful sadly missed trumpet hero....how's that?

He is playing his ass off.

[zacary9bibi1]

Some of the earlier licks sound like Freddie ... its a great video ... he was a major talent

[faroutspaceboy]

Freddie is way more "diatonic" - Woods hears more like a sax player

[Drivethebeat]

The trumpet players I know say that Woody is the hardest to "copy" (transcribe).

[ucdtlrr]

Thats because Woody mastered playing pentatonic scales and intervals in fourths and integrated them into his improvisations. We are so used to hearing music played in scales with "7ths" and intervals in thirds that unless you know what Woody was doing its near impossible to hear and thereby transcribe.

[Youarenotready2006]

That's true ucdtirr... I found it's much easier to first learn his solos by ear - don't slow them down, because that takes away his intention. Once you develop an ear for Woody, it should become easy to transcribe his work since he used a lot of the same licks in may of his solos.

[jerec576]

Debatebly, No. I would say Dizzy is much harder than Woody to transcribe. Both are incredibly difficult to xscribe due to the fact they dont play nescessarily in the key the music calls for. If there is a C7 chord, none of them interpret it as a mixolydian scale so it is hard to find that specific note set that they are playing on.

[8ballinthepocket]

jerec575: what i'm hearing he likes to use the dim-whole tone scale on the dominants....gives it a nice outside/inside sound

[jerec576]

ill look for that. thanks

[adamhawk3000]

Rarely does anyone play mixolydian mode on dominant chords in jazz.

[imafatkid07]

@jerec576 listen for the changes and alterations, that will help you

[rikib80]

Just beautiful. Can't wait for this to be released on DVD.
