Wynton Marsalis Sarah Vaughan Autumn Leaves

[DEFinitivelyHis]

ka-POW!!!!! Too much sauce for one serving, that's so BLAZIN' HOT!

[hipflores]

SARAH... MARAVILHOSA.... WYNTON... MAGNIFICO...

[superman344]

ladies and gentleman. Steve Urcle on the trumpet

[vince33x]

Shooby booby; what r u kidding me? I'm no fan of Jazz. Most of it is stupid.

[NYCSteveS]

@vince33x Actually, jazz is an art form that was created in the United States. Now, people around the world play it and listen to it. You're a moron of the worst kind.

[mbrooks972]

The Divine One!

[titomun123]

It's raining women's voices as if they had died even in memory

And it's raining you as well marvellous encounters of my life O little drops

Those rearing clouds begin to neigh a whole universe of auricular cities

Listen if it rains while regret and disdain weep to an ancient music

Listen to the bonds fall off which hold you above and below

[bbaker90]

2:04 - 2:10 Freaking amazing..... 

[orvgg]

It was so nice to hear Sarah laugh! She almost always comes across as being completely humourless.

Thanks for posting this video. Greetings!

[kergkng]

Ridiculous. Wynton comes in like a freight train. Everyone's a jazz critic. Just sit back and enjoy, for god's sake.

[Paris7699]

Miles Davis generalize

[exjazzbassbaz]

wynton fantastic.wat a solo.as for the scat.this is not the vehicle.many thanks.great post.

[MCalixte89]

i like the scatting but the band should of slowed down the tempo when wynton had his solo

[bernetta88]

Amazing! To have the opportunity for these 2 greats to perform together---what an absolute musical treat! This was a historical moment captured. Simply put---beautiful. They had fun with this. I enjoyed this very much!

[piccinini02]

Wynton looks so young....

[shoegazer666]

This is nonsense. But noone wants to admit it.

[toffeltrompetet]

@shoegazer666 So you can sing better Sarah or play better than wynton?

[paulcakebreadable]

@toffeltrompetet he can do both. at the same time!

[orvgg]

@shoegazer666 LOL preach on sister!

[hipflores]

Sarah meu amorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr uma Bela cantora e uma canção deliciosaaaa

[inf1nity]

i am in love with wynton's solo. SO FRESH. I love it!

[mexijew]

Unbelievable! Wynton before playing Autumn Leaves, played the Haydn Concerto, the Carnival of Venice and another jazz song.

[MrLuigiable]

Wow I love Sarah's voice so much. But based just on Scatting, Ella is much better. Both are terribly awesome, still. But who cares, I favorited this video.

[stealthwolf01]

i'm so scared @_@

[893165009]

I love Will Smith!

fags.

[nsurgmusic1]

Great video! Thanks for posting it. Outstanding mastery of both instruments.

[pooperscoopr69]

Sassy...the premier female jazz vocalist in the history of the art form.

[jlavigne22]

Now this was fun!

[Trumpetplayer60076]

Sassy was The Divine One. I was fortunate to have seen her several times when she played in Chicago. She was truly one of a kind. We even named our daughter after Ms. Vaughan. Thanks for posting this magnificent artist, who remains sorely missed. Another great artist lost to the ill effects of cigarettes...

[JazzyZenBrotha]

This needs to be on DVD! Sarah's voice and presence in Jazz is absolute. And it is icing on the cake to have Wynton Marsalis right beside her displaying some magnificent chops on that trumpet!

[ecobro2008]

WOW That was Intense !!!!

[demonwind92]

The people that were graced by the presence of this phenomenal woman in person are truly lucky. Unfortunetly her life was cut short before my time but I can still appreciate a wonderful talent like Miss Vaughan thanks to youtube. Thanks for the upload :)

[mrbreh33]

I dont like wyntons style of jazz

[drifteromega]

@mrbreh33

to each their own but this is a perfect solo man. he destroyed it.

[songpidgeon]

Love u Sarah Vaughan! xxSarah

[jazzmasta92]

the cool things is all of those legit players in the background are like "jazz he's the best at this too?"

[jaybou263]

one of the truly great singers of the 20th century

[TheCmelmoneyman]

Sass has the best version of autumn leaves i've ever heard.

[giovarama]

@TheCmelmoneyman i can argue with you.. you should listen to bobby Mcferrin and Chick Corea's Autumn Leaves. The thing is Amazing. even better than sara vaughan's versions.

[muziklayd]

Sarah Vaughn is a BEAST when it comes to scat!! She imitates that horn sound so well!!!

[juli13]

LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[bobsunda]

buffalmacco76 - she is doing what we called a Scat singing.

[barztool]

The old guard working with the new lions...jazz doesn't get better than this!

[hina0410]

she's so beautiful!

[grenadian11]

@hina0410 Agree, Ms Vaughan was one of those greats whose voice and beauty improved with age like fine wine!

[ortizelmusico]

tanto el tema,como los genios que lo interpretan,majestuoso y genial

[mmjazztogo]

How she would love to know the great things Wynton is still doing for jazz.. what a band and thanks to the incomparable Sassy!!!!!!!x

[senezelles]

I,m 42, I'm french,I saw Sarah Vaughan at the blue note in NY a long time ago...It's one of the best souvenir of my life!

[jazztrumpeter01]

amazing...who disliked this video?!!!

[Paps4short]

Wynton Marsails, a master of harmony, melody, and current modern trends in Jazz... S. V., a voice of incredible dexterity, warmth & colour... Autumn Leaves.... just an incredible display of amazing interactions...!

[LEONCODAJJ]

¡VAYA , por una vez me ha gustado como toca Wynton Marsalis ! Claro que después de oir el canto en scat de la grandísima SARAH VAUGHAN  es dificil no tocar bien,

[CheckMate657879]

Wow!!! The Sassy One never did fall off. She found a way to produce the same level of velvet notes regardless of her age, and thousands of performances. This evening I've listened to recordings of Sarah Vaughn each decade from the 40's until this one, and her singing level is top notch in all the decades. Amazing!

[ProMusicProf]

omg amazing. It's weird seeing all these videos of Wynton around nowadays then watching this video, he looks so different!

[erica94a]

I just close my eyes to try and find all of the changes! Wish I were there!

[Blueskywatcher]

Twenty years. R.I.P.

[joebob67667]

lookin good wynton

[greg10101010]

wat year is this

[gessed]

Such a complete musician.His classical music is as good as his jazz solos.Loved it. Thanks for posting.

[hanspetersalentin]

YEAH !!!! Hp

[mikemusica]

2:04 WOW

[mikemusica]

Wow! Wonderful.

[naishabr]

Fantástico! :)

[lavendermo28]

love sarah always miss her too wynton was amazing on this track

[orjazzmicintentions]

In my opinion Wynton is the epitome of perfect technique. His ideas are hot. But one thing I don't get is why he plays down in these older videos, while in classical performances and newer vids he plays perfectly perpendicular to the ground. Any insight?

[hebrewhammershabbat]

@orjazzmicintentions He's playing into a microphone in this video.

[aiyayiovav]

hahahahahah

merci

[SamJames115]

wynton's solo is burnin''

[kcaj48]

1:02

[MrJUANCHIRRIS]

todavia muy aún, Wynton ya daba muestras de lo grande que seria, rosandose con los maestros del jazz....

[PeaceFan1]

I have always said that Sarah Vaughn's voice tasted So good ...Check out her 81' album, Send In The Clowns with the Count Basie Orchestra ( no Count) ..it is Perfection ..Miss you oh Divine One ..xo

[buffalmacco76]

great album!!! you should listen to her live album "at ronnie scott 77"...probably one of the greatest

[Globaljazzer500]

Agreed Mr. Buffa!! That Tadd Dameron reference is so sweet ..one super night at ronnies>>.

[kdkn92]

Wynton was so much better on bachs. Is all about the quality and purity of sound. monette tone is fuzzy as crud and way to dark for trumpet.

[inf1nity]

ever think that's the sound wynton wants? players strive to sound like the mental sound they have in their head, not what everyone else thinks they should sound like.

[kdkn92]

good point. To me, and everybody I encounter who is familiar with pre and post monette recordings agree with the same opinion that his tone suffered.

[gloryforjoy]

yeh thats rytem sektion

[clienteIe]

Does anyone else think the guy at 0:18 kinda looks like Steve Urkel? haha

[MrHank3]

you mean wynton marsalis?

[lwakela]

Can someone please tell me was this ever released as a cd.... Or if it's a DVD, the title? I would love to have this performance for my collection! Thanks!

[irishsetterarchie]

Another Autumn and here we go again!!!! This is just the best!!!

[goobleglob]

Oh Sarah was awesome... well, still is:)

[Paez2009Xingu]

With regards to the emotion involvend in listening to a song, you're certainly rigth. I love the genuine Autumn Leaves to. Indeed, I love both versions. Whwn I whistle this song to my kids, I do it very smoothly and slowly. And they also love this song.

And we're very far from the place wre it was created.

[Paez2009Xingu]

Sure it's not purely Autumm Leaves, but  it's a great moment of these genius of jazz music.

What's the meanning of playing a song like that the same way it's been done for decades? As musician I understand this.

[mhenrikse]

Its not just the music, its also what the listener brings to it. The melancholy in the original harmony of this song would speak to someone who understands loss, "But I miss you most of all...when autumn leaves start to fall". That connection makes it worth preserving. I'm not denying that listeners will enjoy the ride with these two. However, they will not connect with the emotion of "Autumn Leaves" because after the head, the melody, harmony, and rhythm could just as well be Giant Steps.

[mhenrikse]

And what emotions (happiness, sadness, humor...) did this

rendition transmit to you?

[mhenrikse]

Autumn Leaves, is a sentimental love song. What these two do with it takes out those salient qualities. I don't believe anyone could identify this version as Autumn Leaves even on the harmonic changes. If Chet Baker recorded it, you would be close to tears. This version is a bunch of frenetic activity. Ok, now go ahead and give me the thumbs down if you must.

[joebandana]

the thing is that Autumn leaves was ORIGINALLY the things you speak of, back when it was written, BUT THEN it was exposed as an incredible vehicle for jazz improvisation; it is a song that can be played at any tempo and extract any kind of emotion that the players wish to manifest - happiness, sadness, humor, etc!!

[mhenrikse]

This isn't Autumn Leaves.

[murky1177]

Are you saying that because Sarah doesn't sing the lyrics? Because other than that, this is Autumn Leaves, as jazz musicians treat it.

[nuck81]

great!!!! thanks for posting this

[TruthSerum101]

Terrific!

[tropftrichter]

nuu. marsalis is a lack of ideas with perfect technic which just copies everthing he knows.

[garzaedu]

you are so full of shit!!  9 grammy awards and a pulitzer...lack of ideas...copies everything he knows?! Jazz musicians learn from each other!! You're obviously not a musician.

[pranastc3]

I concur.

[doublehighd]

wake up. you haven't seen/heard wynton recently.

[fatherfocus]

Drummer??????????????

[ColmOSullivanRed]

The great Harold Jones (of Count Basie fame, and now, to this very day, with Tony Bennett). George Gaffney on piano and Andy Simpkins, bass.

[kylegeee]

holy cow, wynton can blow!

[carnage89]

Indeed, it helps to be classically trained.

[jefftritonesub]

I taped this when it first aired years ago and watched it countless times. It took me a few listens back in the day to realize Wynton was playing a Clifford Brown transcription from the Helen Merrill recording (not this tune). I think September Song was the tune Wynton paid tribute to the original recording of Brownie with Ms. Merrill by playing Brownie's solo. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the tune.

[conmanmusic]

Damn violin player checks his watch at about 1:44... prick.

[trompettor]

hahahaha, priceless

[namawenmi]

I can say one word that covers it all

Unbelievable"""

[vecernicek2]

No, you're right, you're probably not an expert :) Her voice sounds amazing here.

[ScreaminDeamon4lyfe]

@buffalmacco76 technically, wynton's imitating the sound of her voice with his trumpet...that was the whole concept that jazz started with in New Orleans

[MsKelleys]

Is that Maria Cole (Nat's widow) at 3:21 in the orange dress on the left?

[nogyogyasz]

KING ;-)

[sinielapti]

wow!

[LarryStaples]

Should we mention the fact that WM's improvs are reminiscent of an era that Charlie Parker made famous. Though different instruments, the styles at least presented here, and a few other places, are VERY Parkeresque.

[TheReturnOfStephan]

Sarah Vaughan's scat singing imitates the bop-era combos she sang with, while Ella Fitzgerald's imitates the big-band sound she started with.

Both are wonderful in their own way.

Comparisons are futile.

Enjoy the music.

[jimmypageit]

i think you still don't get the magic of jazz...

[juanjoya]

In my opinion, Sarah's scat here has no magic at all.

[9Naethy]

You serious!!!.. What is wrong with you?

[marchingtrojans]

No, he's right. She's just going through the motions. Thats quite apparent. Sarah Vaughn is much better than that and she should be ashamed of herself.

[MsKelleys]

Sarah had a playful scat style that fits in more with her jazz tradition of bop. Yet she and Wynton manage to make magic - the call and response is beautiful.

[zombietooth]

it is a conversation a improvisation, popular music is manufactured...progress is not a bad thing, but man the conversations we are missing. both instruments are from the lungs ( trumpet & vocals) that connection physically to your own spirit as the performer trancends all technology and making that a personal conversation, basically it isnt as easy as watching a olympic long jump as say that is better or this is better or that is not proper playing of the song, it is a conversation.

[superc2k]

you are absolutely right.... but the y ounger folks dont understand this... you must be in music

[joec8992]

Wynton Marsalis is WAY too good!!!

i love his playing

[MoJazz4me]

That was Autumn Leaves?

[mexijew]

yes, listen to the chord changes

[2THEBLUEANGEL8]

i like sarah. shes one of the best singers in history

but she should have left the scatting to Ella. when she began scatting it was her desire to narrow the gap between them. it only widened it.

Wynton in the man

[TrueFan1947]

"If it appears that we see farther than others, it is because we are standing upon the shoulders of GIANTS!" That quote is from a scientist (perhaps Planck or Einstein). However, I believe it applies to art as well as science. Parker led to Coltrane, as Diz led to Miles, as Tatum led to Peterson, ad infinitum. WE are the fortunate beneficiaries of this rich history!

[TrueFan1947]

Thanks Diz, Thanks Miles, Thanks Freddie, Thanks Nat, Thanks Wynton!

[somedude8403]

Even wynton is grooving off the scattin. Nice shit

[ncodrington]

Wynton, Wynton, Wynton! Great stuff :)

[nammi69]

Ms Vaugnh Was always on top of her game. Love and miss "The Sassy one".

[jaybou263]

magnifcent art!

[evosynth]

es el mismo concierto donde toca el carnaval de venecia con una orquesta???

[joelskib]

scatting lmao classic

[trptking12345]

It's called scatting and i'd like to see you get up in front of people and do half that. Start listening to good music, like this. And if you hate it so much, don't fucking comment about how much good music sucks. It just makes you look stupid

[newstart2009]

what year is this 1984?

[lizard218]

Sarah Vaughn is one of the only singers I know that expresses her vocal chords truly like a melodic instrument. Such apparent musicianship often not found at all in singers in other genres.

[jacktojack69]

That's such bullshit, man. It was all in good fun. Of course Wynton knew what he was doing. Like Cab Calloway singing a scat line in Minnie the Moocher that he knew the audience couldn't get!

[albabyluv7]

If You know music you will know that Wynton flow like hurricane a mix of classical and jazz with blues tendencies scales , very few can do that and the dude was very young then; if you disagree get on your horn then and let me see you compete with a legend like Sarah -- She even appreciated the challenges that 's why she stuck her tongue out a sign of approval... As if she said you are bad boy ahrighttttt! Nuf Said.

[ZamzarBob]

It was the intervals, not the syncopation. He played a bunch of trumpet intervals. That would be fair game in a typical call and response with another horn player, but singer's don't do those kind of things. Maybe more modern jazz singers might.

[JaredCS]

man im a trombone player and i played a gig with a singer we traded of on a blues and she did an huge sixteenth note line that i could not possibly play and i just rambles up and down the horn back at her. The audience thought it was hilarious and she is a great vocalist she knew what she was doing it was comedy. Who are you to say whats in good taste for a vocalist

[ZamzarBob]

I'm just saying, you should save that kind of stuff for a really phenomenal singer like Mike Patton. I mean, that guy can do anything with his voice. Like I said, its all about modern singers. Old singers like Sarah probably can't sing so many outness, they gots the melody sounds.Wynton blew it. They had so much a groove and melody, and you have to admit, the music hits an awkward pause there. No value judgment, the music just stops for a second. Listen to Lester Bowie and Don Cherry for TRUMPET

[davisc1926]

The intervals as you stated were part of his phrase as well as the syncopapted rhythm; you can't take one without the other.

[vigwig]

Wynton steps up for Sassy.

[Dariniafa]

Wynton is so young right here!

[fabiousa]

like the 5th star says "awesome"

[Game23master]

I love this. I have been listening to it nonstop for two hours. Wynton is a fantastic player and Sarah has one of my favorite voices. I so wish I have to chance to play with him one day.

[qewtra]

lol 2hrs of this just might kill me wynton was good tho

[JaredCS]

For everytime I hear one of my friends bash Wynton Marsalis I hear five recordings of him that suggest they have obviously never listened to Wynton Marsalis or know nothing about music. Whats the deal? Whether you like him or not, he is a brilliant musician to say the least.

[margdar]

A lot of people criticize Mr. Marsalis's very "academic" style of playing, narrow stylistic approach, his strict following of established rules and unwillingness to accept avant-garde jazz and other non-traditional forms of jazz. Sure, he can play the shit out of the trumpet but where is the soul? Where is the passion? That's what I hear from people who don't like Wynton.

[davisc1926]

It's right there in his playing where it's always been.

[captainbackfirex3]

@margdar

I think people just hate on him for him having next to flawless technique. Anyone who's heard him speak about music KNOWS he is passionate. I sure can hear it in his playing too.

[STEVEFINNERTY]

awesome.,.,

[Whatisthescore]

wynton actually sounds really good right here!

[cstott5]

If you like scatting watch Ella Fitzgerald do One Note Samba. Both amazing women in Jazz.

[NoirMusic]

Or Louis Armstrong....serious scatting skills there!!

[rodrigodemarsillac]

Wynton's eight notes float through the piece with a very rare swing... and Sarah has an incredible control of rhytm and pitch... fantastic

[joebandana]

WHOA! man i really dig Wynton Marsalis' playing a lot. he really played that well, and he looks so young. Does anyone know how old this is? Great video!

[one4two5]

yea, he looks like a chubby Erkle

[ericfc93]

she hit a low C# what a tank!

[sarahvaughanlover]

Swinging, scatting and hilarious Sarah Vaughan! Stunning duet with Wynton Marsalis! Thank you for this vidéo.

[blackpawn5]

man he sounds so much better on a Bach, i wish he would go back.

[t47l22c31]

uhhhhh...... Is she speaking eniglish? lol. Still incredible even if she is speaking boo-bop

[mau3gon]

LOL

[mau3gon]

wow ! really........... wow

[jazzflutist]

Wow. They're both something else. Priceless musicians and human beings.

[deb6sbcglobal]

This was taken from a Boston Pops show on PBS. Wonderful!!!

[jazclarinetist]

I hear TONS of Freddie in his soloing style in this video.

[brassdictatorship]

You guys are probably just to used to seeing his Chicago custom taylor or his Monette trumpets

[brassdictatorship]

Delfeayo is definately Wynton's brother not cousin but that is definately a trumpet
