[snazzz11]

If you want to hear Murray at his best listen to his work on Octet Plays Trane. This stuff at the Vanguard is just schmaltz.

[Buszu00]

He sounds a little bit like L.Thompson.

[sxeSiopa]

I hung out with David in Sines, at a local bar, where he was having a jam session. Nicest guy ever. And boy, can he play..

[shamguru]

Let's not ignore the late great Fred Hopkins on bass. one of the nicest and coolest musicians I've had the plaesure to meet (David was very cool too). Met Fred at a show Murray did in Cambridge, MA. Year later they are back and Fred rememers me and my buddy by name. Just a great guy, very hip and funny too. Ppl were talkin during his solo, he stops playing and says "you all better be quiet. I'm from Chicago, you don't want me to come back there" lol

[MagicRain505]

Man David is going off! That's exactly what I like to hear out of a saxophonist! Just like late Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and Pharoah Sanders! What a free spirit. Fantastic music, fantastic group, fantastic video. Thank you.

[wel722]

@brettbrettbrett8234...sounds like the bridge to Strode Rode Sonny Rollins!!!

[naruto1999sakura]

[SidewalkFrequencies]

It's amazing how high quality musicians can make the simplest of changes and melody sound new and unique.

[6378773]

That is what I call 'Vodoo'. Look at this - listen to this!!!! Man - he really rape the woman in the front! Wow! You hear it? You feel it? Man - this man is fabulas! Power - intelligence! Pure drug! Nothing can ever stop this sound and lifts the people up!!! Better than Sonny Rollins! Fuckin' great and all his other stuff he do in his fuckin' life!! Shit! Sonny Rollins is right: "Don't stop the Carneval"! Yeahhhhhhhh. Peace

[MrDrewlips]

@6378773 The word "rape" does not apply to David's music. I know he would not appreciate this word being used to describe his music or it's affect in any way.

[6378773]

@MrDrewlips ... ok, ok, you can use aswell "make love" instead of "rape".

[Goath35]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[gordondexter67]

[dasiccseason]

@gordondexter67 How is he terrible?

[front11gutter]

[ufuck1]

Great!

[MrSalamander7]

Huh... I came on here looking for the Iron Maiden guitarist, but this was a pleasant surprise. I like jazz.

[superjules]

@MrSalamander7 Same dude! Remember that ripping sax solo on Powerslave?

[Geoffzx]

[billystrayhornsghost]

Man this is funky!!!.Bought the album morning song on vinyl many years ago. Nice to hear it again.

[iwanttowatchsomethin]

Masterful

[tpcardoso]

[oober349]

[boardingschoolbaby]

this video was directed by bruce buschel

[theurbanturban72]

This here is whats wrong with this here country... mustaches

[phillij1848]

The World Saxaphone Quartet played in Chicago back in the late 80s and it was my introduction to David Murray. He is truley a gifted player. He and George Adams, another favorite tenor playor, have similarities and this song reminds me a bit of the Don Pullen/George Adams Quartet with Dannie Richmond (RIP George et al). David Murray Has an excellent band here. He is one of the best tenor players on the jazz scene today.

[lakifre]

hahaha dave murray, from Maiden, great band I love it...

But this is jazz, I like his sound, I heard about him when he played with steve coleman and the five elements a great concert in hot brass in 95 (I guess)

[echojurist]

From: Ddr. Ulysses S. Crockett, Jr. To: Maestro David Murray Thanks for giving Ranzell Merritt the opportunity to work with you. Merritt continutally comments how much he enjoyed the experience. Your work with Ishmael Reed is also commendable. Have a great 2008.

[ultrasur1]

real nice vid. thanks!

[snow4tolifeends]

hey you guys who dont like him. DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE THEN ASSHOLES. oh and he is wery good

[dalecedric]

Awesome! David Murray is god on sax!

[aMinorBlues]

Horrible.

[xXGuns2KillXx]

Yep, it is.

[funkysax123]

i have a teacher named david murray accept he plays trombone

[Baphometherion]

i think that i was about to see Dave Murray from Iron Maiden, anyway, this is not bad, very good jazz, and good sax

[kohada64]

In case it wasnt clear before  the song is "Morning Song" from a record of same name on Black Saint

[kelo2000]

Along with Coltrane, Ornette, Parker....Dave Murray the best sax player I have heard in my whole life...Shakill's Warrior with Don Pullen is by far his best recording...RIP Don.

[BMayhew60]

No, this is THE DAVID MURRAY. The other one is a decent musician, but this guy is in a whole different category. The music might not appeal to your tastes, but if you diss it just because of that, you are not a thinking person. This man is an incredible talent, and one of the best of our time.

[sciman707]

Ya man He is challenging himself and the listener, and mostly himself. He is leading with his point of veiw most musicians don't have the balls.

[Arfocha]

El mejor saxo tenor de los últimos 25 años.

[JDillaYO]

your a lot of shit

[slaveofgils]

wtf

[Finbarbarfin]

There are several versions of this tune down David Murray's back catalog. The one on the 'New Life' album is with the octet and it's just a riot, utterly joyful. This version, from the 'Morning Song' album is the more restrained - but none the less brilliant for that - version. A very, very cool post. Thanks.

[aselmerius]

Just great to have this video:

Danke!!

[mattmusi64l]

It's "Morning Song"!!!! The original song is from 1981 and it's on the "Morning Song" CD (Black Saint). Just wanted to share what I found.

[mattmusi64l]

Never mind the haters! I am diggin this song but can't find out the title. Please help. Is it on any of his albums?

[saxoclar]

I'm glad we don't hear much from this guy anymore

[Thouveninpascal]

c'est vrai qu'il peut faire penser à Rollins , mais en général des musiciens comme ça , on appelle ça un peu méchament des "escrocs". Il a plutôt fait une belle carrière, grâce à des journalistes aussi sourds qu'ignorants... Hélas , ce ne sont pas toujours des musiciens qui font et défont les succès. Reste que ce sax. est plutôt médiocre, et certains appellent ça un "géant". C'est drôle et triste à la fois. Sans rancune.

[giiulianoraimondo]

certo sono daccordo nel dire che non si tratta di un genio e nemmeno un gèant ma ha sempre seguito onestamente la sua strada e poi... dovessimo ascoltare solo i giganti dovremmo fermarci a una trentina di nomi

[detroitclemente]

Great video. Directed by Bruce Buschel.

[RichardJ60]

Anything with ed blackwell in it has to be good! thanks for the video! Anymore?

[rberding]

We will see him live at Pigeon Island in Saint Lucia 2007 Jazz festival.

As a surpise Isaac Hayes will also be there. George Benson will also perform!!!

[yusefwolf]

One of the finest groups Murray ever assembled, the 1980's was a great time for creative music. David Murray was one of the giants of that period.
