  • Comment removed

  • amazing :)

  • and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why there's few people that can do this....That's some impressive stuff.

  • Pretty nice solo on the trombone using only the trigger. Trumpet was nice too.

  • what was that thumb key on his trombone?

  • @MrMadeye1 It's gotta be a normal F attachment.

  • @MrMadeye1 Because he is playing with one hand, it so he can change notes without moving the slide.

  • @MrMadeye1 F attachment. Changes the pitch of the horn from the key of Bb to F. Alternating hands comes from two backgrounds: some musicians are left handed. the other is that if a musician injured one hand, then he was either out of work or had to figure it out on the other hand. Nowadays, it's done mostly because it can be done.

  • He plays better with one hand than I do with two.

    Has to be the lamest shit I've ever read on youtube and that says a lot.

  • @James9533 ROFLLL

  • AMAZING !!!!!!!!!

  • 3:31 awsome lip trill

  • TOO SICK FOR WORDS MAN!!! Nothing but love for this... 2:50 almost killed me though!

  • This man has actually made a big band album and played all trumpet trombone piano and sax parts himself enlisting the help of just a bassist and drummer. It's pretty sweet.

  • Flipa como cambia de boquillas ahahaha !!

  • Impossible. What a talent. You have chops, man.

  • amazing

  • ..and he plays saxophone, too...geezzz!

  • SHOW NINGUEM FAZ....O CARA É MUITO FERA PARABENS......

  • this guy sold his soul to the devil or something....id wish hed tell me whos the dealer....

  • The -two notes at once- isn't that hard. Just hum as your working your embrasure. Nice tone though. Nice performance!

  • The -two notes at once- isn't that hard. Just hum as your working your embrasure. Nice tone though. Nice performance!

  • 4:22 that was the flattest G I ever heard in my life lmao. Then he comes and nails that shit like it's nothing.

  • @James9533 He went, D, E, F, F#, at that point, such an amazing amazing solo, my brother has performed with the man before, incredible guy!

  • @James9533 Flat G, huh? Do you mean an F#?

  • trumpet .. pftttt..... he is AMAZING !!! on the trombone....

  • to play multiphonics u have to play 1 note while u sing another. 1 asked my intstructor. try it its hard at first but ull get used to it

  • that looks alot like a bass

  • amazing!!!

  • ERESSS EL MEJORRRRRRRR

  • fabuloso

  • grande!!

    

  • Damn.

  • is he half-keying the trigger?

  • @MurphysL4w He is using a technique called polyphonics which means that he is playing and humming at the same time to produce more than one note.

  • fantastic

  • truly an entertainer. must be very difficult to constantly changing embouchure for both instruments. makes trombone look very easy with just the trigger

  • @allabouttrumpet haha i think it's just morrison being really really good.

  • Wow!! A true brassman! You're amazing!

  • The so called USA can go and jump.

    That country has completely lost the plot.

    BTW James was playing with Diz bac k there is the early 80's...so there some recognition.

    Sorry, I just a bit pissed off with Politics and the world at the moment, nothing personal.

    Let's hope we all get what's coming to us in 2012, we deserve it!

  • Amazing trumpeter. Can't believe he isn't more well known in the US.

  • I really agree, he is so awesome and should be more well known

  • What's the name of this song ?please

  • es imprivosado seguramente

  • this is off the chain!!!

  • damn, he's not just funny, he's actually really good!

  • 3:35 to the end is fucking beast as shit. I love that lick he plays and the shake on all the notes on the chorus.

  • e.p.i.c.

  • not sure you hum. On another video where he plays with Black Dyke band he plays 3 notes at a time. However he does it, he's amazing

  • Not too hard to do for an experienced player. Hell, I've only been playing for twelve years and I can do it lol.

  • You sing and play at the same time. Hum isn't really the way I would put it, as your lips aren't closed when you're playing, they're vibrating. To get three notes at once, you have take advantage of resultant tones - for example, If I play a Bb and sing the G above it, a high Eb will result that completes the Eb major chord. I've found that sixths like the above example make the strongest resulting tones, but fifths can result in the major third appearing in between as well.

  • James Morrison is so awesome!

  • HOW!!??

  • just hum and play at the same time

  • You go and try it then!

  • We just don't see real musicians like this any more. James, you are one in 6 billion.

  • ALL OF IT IN 1ST POSITION

  • he has a trigger that allows him to play another position but still in first. but still extremely amazing. ;o

  • wow, I actually just clapped. I didn't mean to at all, it just seemed appropriate.

  • is this anywhere to buy on dvd ?

  • most of my notes with the trigger sound like shit. i dont know how he gets it to sound good.

  • You are the best Trompeter on the World !!! LG. Stefan aus Spittal an der Drau. We welcome you in Austria !

  • Esse cara toca muito quem conseguir traduzir é um gay...........

  • AMAZING!

  • Nothing I love more than when he plays more than one instrument at once!  Amazing you can get so many notes out of a trombone without moving the slide

  • He's using Triggers :)

  • he has one key on it so that he can change notes

  • that trill on the the trombone was amazing thats true flexiblilty.

  • James in a small band setting is the best I have seen him at, either live or on CD.

    Piano, drums, guitar, vocalist, bass, and James on everything else.

    This seems to bring out the best in him.

    1994 - Live In Paris - James Morrison and The Hot Horns Happening

    I remember getting this CD in '94 when it came out, the first Track Tokyo Expesss, blew me away.

    Quartet - 1998, is also good if you like a vocalist in the group.

    Looking forward to the Upcoming album with 'The Idea of North'..

  • This is nice, but I like James Morrison more when he interacts with other instruments.

  • es impresionante lo que hace este tio!! para mi uno de los mejores videos del youtubee!! chao!!

  • I've chosen this to transcribe and transpose for my Jazz homework...and it makes me warm and fuzzy inside ^^ I can't wait for my Director to see how crazy I am...

  • I want KrummyBeat and Rbattam to do a group hug and then both disappear form the face of the earth.

  • shut up fag.

  • James morrison lays it way back and grooves my head off. Hes a musical machine.

  • Se n'ix!!!! Quin crack.....

  • Comment removed

  • He is not human! I saw him 3 times live in concert and i gotta say - James is no "genius" - he is WAY BEYOND genius! The word "genius" just isn't good enough. After the first concert he got standing ovations for like 15min!... Those who ever heard him play a 20min piano improv. know what I'm talkin' about. Sure, in the end it will always be a matter of taste but anyone who has seen him live will agree that James Morrison is truly one of the greatest musicians of all time!

  • You guys can go on hee-ing and haw-in' about who is better, etc....but let me tell you one thing, there is NOBODY in the world that can play tpt and tbn like this! NOBODY, he is fukin' amazing, period!!!!

  • He is the best at multiphonics [more than one note at one time] I've ever heard.

  • increible!! muy bueno

  • The Freak (Magician) strikes again! Is there any other Brass Performer out there that Can do this? Nope....

  • Wycliff Gordon.... Except he's better at T-Bone.... and Wynton is better at trumpet....

  • this guy is a machine i would love to be able to reach that high on trombone

  • james morrison plays with the lalo shcfrin wdr big band that cd is amazing he plays the song things and what they used to be its amazing

  • Instant 5 stars! Incredible!

  • best multiphonics ive ever seen.

  • Love that kind of feel...! Great chops, James.

  • PLEASE COME TO AMERICA!!!!

  • rather awesome I thought!

    saw him live last weekend in wigan, he's incredible, and very entertaining.

  • Hi James, I hope this is not the future? playing with a apple..... I rather would like to here you with us again.... hollandbigband[dot]com. ;-))

  • you are the best of the best trumpeter....

    from edgar from malta

  • Marsalis, Hargrove, Nakariakov, Sandoval, Brecker, Shew, Vega....... And those are just some of the ones that are alive.... He's no where near the top trumpet player... Not only is he limited to jazz... More specifically he's limited to Bb blues.. Which frankly I can do in a lower range obviously... But range is only so much and if that's what your looking for Maynard is much better.. Jus sayin' ya know!?

  • Hmmm, So Marsalis and Brecker can move from Trumpet to Trombone as seemslesly as he does? (Maybe with exception of Maynard) I have seen both live a few times, and have never seen them do this. Also I have seen James move from Trumpet to Piano, to Saxophone, to Ephonium etc etc, He's limited to Jazz hey, I've seen James Playing Piccolo Trumpet with with many of the top Orchestra's in the world, Playing baroque, classical, Romantic etc etc. Limited to Bb Blues, Geese What are u ON? Sorry...

  • I'm just sayin'... Multiphonics is a gimmick and as far as technical ability, all the fore mentioned artists are better. He's fine in his own right. But he's an entertainer.

  • Stop putting down one of the greatest musicians that will ever live!"Entertaining" Go and do some research and transcibe some of James' tracks and solos, and you will see who's "Entertaining"

    "Multiphonics is a gimmick" NO it isn't, it's very difficult to do as well as he does it.He actually constructs a full 12 bar theme, resolves it etc.

    BTW Are you a musician?

    If you are you should be ashamed of yourself...sorry..but I am speaking from the heart here.

  • Haha yes actually. I'm a trumpet player. I've heard Wynton live and he's light years beyond this honestly. He changes style so seamlessly. He can rip a be-bop scale like I've never heard. Not to mention play those notes with a mute in. However you can find 3 videos of James playing the exact same thing note for note. He doesn't improv. And when he does it's Bb blues. I've tried to prove myself wrong here and have failed miserably.

  • I have nothing against Wynton, love him Arturo and Maynard (RIP), and another other decent Musicians out there....

    Be-Bop Scale hey, hmmm,I like to play Hard bop scales myself (Just jokin')...

    Can I just leave you with this (Trying to educate you a little)

    See if you can go and buy or listen to some tracks of James's first album circa 1983 Album is "A night in Tunisia", and see what you think (yes this album was produced 26 years ago)

  • yoru full of shit.. are you watching the same video.. he plays the same melody over the same song sometimes, but solo.. never... its all improv.. ive played with the bloke... its not bullshit mate.. link me 2 videos where hes doing 2 note for note same solos in different performances or recordings.

  • again this is bullshit.  HE PLAYS different every fucking solo. So do all the greats. he does not use note for not climax's , and ddont fucking tell me what improv is rofll ur a dick.....

  • Lul learn how to use a contraction.  Btw that definition of improv is correct... You'RE a dumb bitch.

  • wow... you know nothing and you have just proven it to this whole channel.. Pal ive seen wynton, james, arturo, all live. Ive played with james before (younger at school), played with arturo and bobby shew also (Monterey Jazz Festival 1997).

    Best players i ever played with. James is bebops best friend. BTW, Bobby Shew is an asshole, only person ive seen tell a drummer not to swing in the last 2 bars of melody of Tunisia, also only person ive seen tell audience to shut up, when they clap.

  • Yes, and my word for word Roy Hargrove definition of improv. displays a lack of intelligence. Guess who you just called stupid?? Lul. I played in all jazz ensemble under the direction. I agree, he is kind of an asshole. However he has personality. You know who else is an asshole? Buddy Rich. One of the most loved musicians of all time. Sesame Street anyone?

  • No they are not a gimmick... they are fucking really difficult to master.

  • ROFLLl only plays Bb blues hahahaha you clown.

    this guy plays every mode, chord, jazz or not, he does blues for fun. Put up any chart with complex chords he will nail it. Ive seen him smash some really hard charts. in ALL keys. If you dont like him dont watch his videos.

    Dizzy Gillespie himself commends James Morrison, Dizzy gillespie and Charlie parker invented Bebop,the most difficult jazz out there.  And if Dizzy commends James.. then James is amazingly good.

  • maynard is good trumpeter but il high notes is not really good sound for me.
