Amazing Trombone New Orleans

[NewOrleansThomas]

The better "musician" here is the upright bass player, Andy -- a former orchestra leader who just prefers to play at Jackson Square, since the '80's; and still does today in year 2012.

[Tchalla7779311]

Faking is not knowing if you are in tune or the right key...he definitely knows what he's doin....lol

[Tchalla7779311]

perhaps the guys at your high school blowed the likes of Miles Davis....who said its no such thing as wrong notes...wrong rhythm yes...and new orleans style is sloppy ,funky, and known the world over for that...if you culturally dont dig it.....turn back to bill, carl, and andy and do you.... in new orleans this is real jazz.....rhythmic and deliberate....Big Sam...Trombone Shorty...Fred Wesley and other greats employ this style often

[iwatchvideos57]

trombone starts at 1:13

[TrueTrombone352]

@iwatchvideos57 thanks

[eabof311]

this guy is a street performer hack. you want to hear real jazz trombonists, frank rosolino, carl fontana, andy martin, and bill watrous..to just name a few. google them

[TrueTrombone352]

@eabof311 Music is interpreted differently by different people you say this guy is a performer hack and I say he is a Black Jazz musician unlike the white ones you named who if you listen to them put you to sleep

[ShoeBob98]

this isnt jazz... im not saying that because its not a saxophone, because trombones can play pretty good jazz. but it sounds more like hes doodling around on it. its alright, i guess. live and learn, ppl.

[deathbytrombone]

@ShoeBob98 You sir, sound like a rich-ass white boy.

[ShoeBob98]

@deathbytrombone not rich, but i am definitely white. if you went to high school band with me, you would agree with me. trombone players at my old school played shit like this just to blow in their instrument

[ratchet44455]

how cann ppl diss him, if u can say he doesnt sound good yu obviouslyy dont appreciate real jazz. hes not supposed to be refined or proper its meant to sound like that

[tkrandolph]

His name is Keith "Wolf" Anderson and he is one of the best. He is/was a member of the Hot 8 Brass Band. He is also seen on Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke," Act III (they are performing in New York).

[TickleishPickle]

I live in memphis and go to beale street all the time, one time I saw an outstanding trombonist and was wondering why his slide didnt match the notes he was playing, well 5 min later a recorded audio tape falls out and the guy gets booed of stage.

[stevenhamlin1000]

@TickleishPickle that almost made me throw up. fakers make me sick to my stomach.

[coolguyhino92]

self taught....he puffs his cheaks. but still a great job.

[coolguyhino92]

just jump to 1:15

[macree01]

jazz, no jazz, academic or not academic, there are literally thousands of amazing trombone players who could trump this guy in THIS STYLE any day. Hes just some street artist.... and no im not comparing him to Jack Teagarden , Bob Havens, Trummy Young etc... or stacking him up against some impossible odds. In fact I know local trombonists who can play New Orleans Hot Jazz at a way higher level technically and musically than this guy could on his best day probably.

[theaws0m3guy]

This is awful for classical playing..but it's not classical playing...it's street jazz. This is awesome!

[dannywytanis]

Beauty...pure beauty...

[rajahua]

this guy is brilliant! ) lovely ) yeah man, keep going!

[hagu44]

It's a lil too much in your face but it's good

[themusiclife48]

haha i like his dancing and squatting and stuff. love it.

[Trombonefan12]

This is god awful.

[fiftyfade]

I would put money in the box, for the music and the show

[xchris22477x]

He is playing them blues well

[50420052908]

that dude is making love with his t- bone. N.O. ALL DAY

[questioningsilence]

dang that is music right there. just raw as hell and with feeling. i want to jam with that guy.

[ddparker95]

the trombone player is awesome

[316Jesusislord]

Dude! thats real Jazz! It's from the heart! you can study for years, but it will never sound honest unless tis from the heart!

[tbonea1dam1]

Fuck u guys, this guy is fucking great, I love it, and thats real! This is the real deal. Not that polished shit we hear today! This is real, in the moment. This, is JAZZ!

[knifenewbie456]

@tbonea1dam1 that polished shit is called classical music asshole

[tbonea1dam1]

First off, I was not talking about classical music ASSHOLE! Second, I was talking about some of the top jazz bands and performers of today.The approach of most music these days (especially music taught in some public institutions) is very academic, and consequently, the music is a reflection of that. Third, classical music wasn't always played like it is today. In many cases it was more like jazz. That "polished shit" that i'm referring to is the academic sound of playing music "correct".

[chritchkid]

I play at my middle school jazz band and I am proud to watch this video. I would give them all 10000$ if I could. It was realy funny to watch this.Wish me luck tomarrow for band practice!

[dimplasm]

Nice.

[Kinjid]

Very nice, sounded very good, how I would expect a trombone playing N.O. Jazz, bravo :)

[AndrewMcgheee]

haha so dirty

[acookmsu]

its so nasty and I love it haha

[LOVEMESEXY111]

I don't know what this is? somebody help me. It's chappelle show meets a practice room at a local junior high. Sorry guys I don't feel it. I don't need you to listen for applause.

[latinhomie2]

@LOVEMESEXY111 New Orleans jazz is way different compared to any jazz played anywhere else in the world. New Orleans is the birth place of jazz. I agree with pianoandtrombone123, this man is playing jazz sloppy..that's the only way you can play it. I'm not judging you, but perhaps you don't have enough experience to actually tell what good jazz is? I don't know. But as far as this goes, it was pretty good.

[boardview]

@LOVEMESEXY111 when and until we see your video playing this song...sit down and be quiet.

[adamjeez]

my uncles on bass

[pianoandtrombone123]

nice and sloppy.... the only way to play jazz

[macree01]

@pianoandtrombone123 Its sayings like that give jazz music a bad name, and why people often dont have the respect for it that it deserves. Playing good jazz comes from being able to communicate what you want on coherent level that has polished vocab. that you've worked out in the wood shed.... not blowing random sloppy nonsense over some tune and then saying "Oh well I play with soul".

[jarvis37th]

@pianoandtrombone123 I disagree, but that is a good way to play second line music.

[charliedelph]

nice job! just a thought... maybe put some different dynamics... not everything has to have that edge...... good stuff though!

[coolestnameavailable]

this guy obviously knows what hes doing

[Ozter209]

amazing trombone solo m8! what key did u play it in?

[MegaMikeBrooks]

@Ozter209 He is playing in the key of E flat

[alexandredl]

can't you hear it? it's in G

[DaddyDoctor123]

hey this is epic win this guy deserves a dollar

[zulu012]

@DaddyDoctor123 he deserves 5 thousand and a record deal

[Crzydrtbkr1]

Watching someone get into their music that much, gives me chills. That man is playing music straight from the heart. Truly amazing.

[MrKJohnson22]

These guys don't just play for fun. These guys play for life, love and happiness. Years ago right where these guys are playing I am sure there were men just like these not able to read but could blow a tune that spoke 1,000 words. Artists that know nothing more than to play from the heart. That's good enough for me anyday.

[NorthernTimberwolf14]

hey if you guys like this check out the "Hot 8 Brass Band" they are out of New Orleans as well they are incredible, but if you follow New Orleans jazz you have prob heard of them already haha

[eddomee]

I have sitten on that bench xD, great trombone player too!

[thiagodifoiz]

Muito Legal o video.. soh tem q cuidar com a vara da do trombone para nao cair... rs

[HaVoKoR]

Absolutely amazing. The man did not miss a note...it's called ghosting people. The guy has one of the brightest tones I've ever heard from a trombone player but it sounds nearly flawless in the setting. Favorited.

[luckycraisins]

o ha the guy behind the playing trombonist was clapping to hard and dropped his slide LMAO LOL AROUND 2:52

[billpisley]

hahaha why didn't he lock it?

[allflip99]

Interesting story. The guy in this video also plays with the Hot 8 Brass Band. I used to live in Austin, Texas. One night I saw the Canadian Brass and then later this guy playing with the Hot 8, and I decided that this trombone player was more entertaining than the $50 I paid to see the Canadian Brass.

[chickenandstuff]

Anyone criticizing this video doesn't know what music means. music isn't about getting a "real job", it's about just expression etc. new orleans jazz displays this better than i think any other type of genre, no music being read, just improv and letting loose. now, for those who say he's sharp, perhaps it's uh.. hot outside? seeing as how the song is summertime. also, sure, he misses some notes, don't we all? but the range is fantastic. i play trombone. i should know.

[jammiebeez]

effortless passion on display here; echoes of grachan moncur!!wow!!

[Platschheimer]

Yuk. This makes me wanna puke into my breakfast.

[lpatterson328]

i think this guy's pretty good, keeping in mind the style of the new orleans sidewalk trombone wailing haha...but no i really like this

[Graverobber2500]

Not the best I've seen.

The people who play in the quarter aren't usually very good but this guy is talented to some level.

[0Eonomine0]

I like it, he has energy. He gets air through the horn great too lol, exactly what I would expect from a trombone player. Craziness.

Love the song, even noticed a nice vibrato at the end.

[SergioM96]

He didn't have much of a solo, its an average

[makjazz7]

simply kold dope and live ...i lolike him and he's good.. please stop hating, and please learn how to spell disgrace before you try and use it in a grammattic sentence structure...besides you can probably learn a lot from him.. he's been playing trombone since before you were born and in fact to be clear with you, he's probably forgot more trombone than you currently use in the cornerstone of your practice..so drink a coffee cup of be quiet. thankyou

[chronic480]

his tone is so freakin horible

discrase to the trombone name

[roxodoescocaine420]

not putting air into your horn causes bad tone. his tone is fine at times a little sharp but at least he blows. before you criticize other trombone players put up a fucking video

[chickennig]

LOL THATS RIGHT HE BLOWS DICK

[windtalker70]

you dont know the art of new orleans jazz

as a matter of fact you just dont know jazz at all when you learn to improv and play for people that you dont know in the city streets then you can critisize but as for now you can go EAT A DICK

[trombonefan2013]

thats what real musicians do. they try to create there own sound.

[associatedwithlosi]

I don't know if he thinks he is good, but he sucks!

[XXuberXXninjasXX]

good job an all you asshole cant do it you lump of useless lard get a fucking life dissing musicans on youtube

get real fag

[shellaccess]

Summertime - This is one of the best NO jazz number that I heard. While I was in NO, i heard it from the Preservation Hall band 726 - and fall in love with the song right away. The song takes you right back in time and slows you down.. BTW, I agree to gearhart123's comments. Not many American appreciate Jazz, which was born in US but survives much outside of US as of now. New Orleans keeps it alive,, and many like Wolf in this video are keeping on of the richest leagcy alive. Hats off sirs!

[gearhart123]

People who leave comments with like "why dont they get a job?!" these guys dont NEED jobs. Back in the 20's when jazz was starting to arrive.. It was african americans who brought it to us. And they did exactly what those guys were just doing. Sitting on the side walk, playing some good ol improv jazz. Plus you make alot more money then you think just doing that. Great stuff.

[Platschheimer]

Why dont these guys dont get a proper job and do something productive? This is pollution!

[bradfoerch]

You're a shithead

[mikedl622]

wow come to NO this is all they got.

[EHLOCALz]

Fucker.

[AceFlare983]

maybe they just like playing and producing wonderful music. is it against the law to play and instrument for people? now go stick that trombone up ur ass untill i see the slide coming out of your mouth.

[cwh1020]

he's no troy andrews

[spacklepro]

can anyone tell me where they are at in NO I will be there at the end of the month and would like to play the trumpet with them

[LatinSkinz]

that is in Jackson Square in front of the Catholic Church, a great place to hang out.

[fiznep]

He plays w/ the Hot 8. He was in the Spike Lee movie about Katrina, playing and also introducing the band in Times Square. He was funny.

Last time I saw him at Jackson Square he was pretending to shoot some annoying lady w/ his trombone. Quite a character.

[keatingwl]

this guy has been playing in the same spot for years. his nick name is Wolf and i one of my favorites. he used to play with a clairanet player named Dorean which is astounding. but when they get together you better watch out

[andres9685]

Thats the real thing man ...

[CayTayrox]

omg that was really good i play trombone to caytayrox

[marcialflores]

niccccceeeee that´s the true, the reality !!!!

sentido y sentimiento lo máximo que debe tener un music man

[greenbrassplaya]

im glad he gets paid for dancing haha j/j

yeah that new orleans style man, a bit loud for my taste but i cant lie big sam's funky nation is loooooouuuuder haha

[swingincountrymutha]

That wuz wack. The banjo is doin some wallpaper while the other guy walks around and plays blues riffs sporadically. New Orleans buskers has these guys sitting on the same pitch all day doin 3 songs.summertime, oh when the saints and oh when the saints.

[thedoitallman]

I love this guy. It would be nice to sit in with them and learn a little. I play the trumpet and could use some blues work!

[tooflyklu]

good stuff

[Danzalock]

Niccceee Trombone tone!! Lovin' the high D and all the feelin'!

[Balou94]

I was down in Orleans last October and heard this guy play 'Poppa was A Rolling Stone". He went to Morgan State University. I played 'bone and I told the guys I was with before we asked that he had formal traning because 'Poppa' is a song you are just not going to pick up quite that easy with so many parts.I give him props for his skills!!! The T-Bone is not easy to play like that. As a matter of fact, ANY instrament is not easy to play like that. LOL

[ttbb10]

love ur story but please if ur going to talk slang about my city say nawlins not orleans

[Balou94]

Sorry about the man. I thought I typed in New Orleans. That is what happen when you do not proof read before you hit the post button. Love the city and sorry about that! No disrespect intended.

[ttbb10]

its ite trombne is da best

[SlidoJ]

hmm.. sorry.. but I don't like this at all..

all the people who are saying.. this is where it started.. dream on, just listen to the recordings of the late great gershwin himself..

Such trombone playing is not an witness of skills, it's an witness of trying to be virtuosic while you arent..

[Spaztronthemusicman]

to mr. 'slidoJ'----wow...you sicken me.

yea, this guy isn't great...he's alright but not great. regardless, my point is that jazz DID originate from New Orleans, starting with TRAD JAZZ which was born from the blues. gershwin was around AFTER trad jazz had taken it's path to swing. you should probly get your facts straight nextime before you make an ass of yourself again buddy.

[BlackvvvFist]

you suck, DildoJ.

[youtubz192]

OH NICE why don't you take that comment and SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS

[Zombbg4]

these dudes are real. anyone who talks bad about them needs to rethink what the hell they just said. This is where it all started, you should be thanking these guys for this style of music they created. Great soulful trombone playing.

[anaaaaal]

This guy sure let his Horn do the talking for him ! Fantastic!!!

[Sadie78550]

Oh wows! He's great!!

I love how he puts so much feeling into his playing.

Oh and all this stuff about a blatty tone...its a type of music people. This is new orleans! = D The good MAKE STUFF UP stuff! haha.

[SafeInNewYorkCity]

hey listen up assholes, this guy is a great bone player bringing his music onto the fucking street! do you have any idea the amount of balls you need to have that????

people dont care if youre playing a d minor 7 chord, they only care if it sounds good! its a totally different audience!

major respect towards him! and to all new orleans jazz players! this is the real stuff man!

get your heads out of your asses

[revoltingmexican]

well, playing outside is pretty tough to get any sort of good sound out. He just is able to blat out really high notes on command, that's pretty good. I feel like the christian lindberg comment is a little lame though. this guy can ONLY play loud, blatty, raunchy notes, it's apparent when he tries to play a low note and it sounds like a deuce.

[thw88z]

I am a trombonist. LOVE IT MAN!!!

Its entertaining. Better than watching an orchestral suit with a pole up their arse....

Would watch this over Christian Lindberg any day!

Mind you WATROUS is still the king!!

[allflip99]

I like your honesty

[RedundanceBoy]

Great blues sound. Most of the people calling this bad probably can't distinguish between a blues sound, a jazz sound, and a concert sound. There isn't just one way to play a Trombone.

[ichbingott4510]

He's blaring. That was always fun in HS when we'd play themes and stuff. I miss my trombone; being in stage made me feel 10 ft tall and bulletproof.

[marcob69]

For a street entertainer it's pretty damn fine

[freeeeeeedy]

I quite like his ideas, but there are a few howlers in there. And before we have the "no such thing as a wrong note" debate, any musician can hear he's blagging a bit.

[munifacio]

i dont know why people find this bad. I think it's very unique, I saw it live, right after the hurricane, there was barely people there. but about tastes in music, there is nothing written, so go ahead and say what you want

[matthewharris065]

Well, If he played with rebirth he has to be good.

@shoegazer666: Not rude or anything, but if you think that sounded bad, you don't understand new orleans jazz. He played what he was feeling.

And I think the first part he played was from a song that rebirth plays.

[shoegazer666]

he sounds just like me during band practise (not good at all)

[flapjack9999]

That's Keith "Wolf" Anderson on trombone. He used to play in the Rebirth Brass Band. He plays with Doreen Ketchens and the Hot 8 Brass Band. He's a great trombone player.

[NJLouis66]

Very cool.

[djalreadyhasbeentake]

awesome, bluesy sound

[u304882]

Playing with passion! Inspiring... that's what music's about!

[bonzaithunda]

you sort of aren't good

[creepybluestorm]

i saw these guys in person a few years ago, even gave a few bucks to 'em!

[xis333]

street music is where the real music is!

[munifacio]

cachense como infla el cachete el loko del trombon, se paso, infla uno solo!

[sebastiangabler]

Te pasaste loko, exelente video... de lo mejor que he visto...

Nos vemos pronto...

[valeesita]

munifacio.

you rock.

this video is cool.

i miss you!
