New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble - Haitian Fight Song (Mingus)

[19dingo76]

watch for the hypnotic brass ensemble !!! :-))

[joaodefavari]

Genius !

[moodytn]

Bass line is too simple, the rest is OK

[3234718]

This is good, but I don't particularly like when they've done with the bass line.

[Panjaquomi]

Covers don't have to be the same folks. No swing, yeah, but it's added a completely different feel to it. I'm sure Mingus wouldn't hate it - there is a group of people jivin' and making some AWESOME music! Ain't nothing wrong with that!

[queerishperson]

This has no swing to it at all. Horrible.

[temolzin10]

hermosooo ska jazz!!!

[killerbass234]

im sorry, but this version is terrible.... it completely loses the swing!!! thats the essence of jazz! i love ska, and i love jazz, but i find this to be an insult to both genres. if mingus were still around, he would probably have a heart attack after finding out how these people massacred his music. THERE IS NO SWING!!! it just sounds bad....

[smanbur]

how could be posible people dont like this music, they dont  know shit about good music !

[TheZombieJC]

@smanbur They like the Mingus one better.

[MrJaponesio123]

Excelente, simplemente excelente!

[skateboardinguitaris]

Were actually playing this at the moment!

[Forestthunder]

What album is this from?

[rageone70]

@Forestthunder I borrowed this song from the very recommendable album called 'Collection 1995-2004'. Thanks for watching! :)

[rudeboi597]

good stuff right here

[Gigalpine27]

I think this is the best version of the song I've heard

[rageone70]

@Laksito00 ¿22 calaveras? ¿Qué significa éso?

[sodri]

@rageone70 22 skulls

[kakogaita]

looks like 5 people here are missing an ear...

[sgtpepper6379]

[chanman2426]

[lifegreen3]

[KiddDrizz]

Wow, this is very different from the original...still cool though

[basslovee2e]

original is better

[therammosa]

fino!

[mattya2k3]

proper music!

[Gigalpine27]

WOW! Very unique! The guitar adds a completely different twist to the tune!

[MrBennybliss]

MINGUS! 

[MrHeavanell]

Ehh I like it swung better with the bari having the melody the first time :/ still good I guess

[ciceront]

caraleo!!!!!! Foda demais!!!!

[HolyMilck]

im sure the views on this video are that high cause everyone that comes threw this song has to at lease play it 5 times before they think about changing it.

i count for like 5% of those views. hahahah

[Morin]

@HolyMilck Well it is by Charles Mingus....haha.

[RICHARDDUNN05]

ska,d for life..

[TheJbellz]

my life is now changed

[djannivia]

Very nice. Love it!!!

[changobilly22]

To take a great song, a classic song, and ska it up is....i cant think of anything other than beyond genius!!!

this version just gives it a kick of youth which is awesome

sure, its not the same song technically, but i think thats the point, you gotta change it up every now and then, have a little variation : )

[CTSpeed413]

Been one of my favorites for a very long time!

[Panjaquomi]

I just can't get it out of my head! BLARGH!

[duducueva]

@TheScratch68, este es un tema de Mingus! y si, es la polla. Los NYSJE y el tema

[Panjaquomi]

I liked the part from 0:00 to 4:52

[prsshred39]

it's catchy, but it's nowhere near mingus's tune.

[TheScratch68]

[atomicrooster]

@pps234 I know how you feel. Reggae will do the same thing to some bass player like me.

[napsterdude8]

I myself am in a jazz ensemble, and we play this piece. I must admit, our version is a bit different, but this is definitely an awesome song!!!

[NelsonCarinhas]

[Schmitozen]

One of their overall best! They just nail those jazz covers.

[VivianneRoy]

Wow I must admit, this is some awesome stuff here! It sounds amazing! Keep up the good work guys! I'm definitely a fan now, and I'm a fussy girl ;P
