Ryan Kisor - All The Things You Are

[rubberbandsax]

The use of tritones really hit at a Dizzy Gillespie influence. Nice!

lmfao @ rdagelo

[rdangelo]

I'm beginning to suspect he's the one who overdubbed the "bad" trumpet playing on the Wynton Marsalis Shreds youtube video.

@rdangelo

I'm beginning to suspect you're an idiot.

[rdangelo]

@micahj why?

[micahj]

@rdangelo

A little tongue-in-cheek. If you're implying he's not good, that comment should be taken literally. Otherwise, think nothing of it

[bixntram]

Brilliant solo. He's out of tune, though. It seems like he tried to adjust a bit in the beginning, but then he must have figured, 'what the hell, this is a jam session, and it's close enough.'

[micahj]

@bixntram

You don't suppose low recording quality has anything to do with it... If you were standing next to this cat, you wouldn't have shit to say to him. He's an amazing musician and one of the most compelling improvisers of today. He sounded better at 14 than some professional players ever do.

[bixntram]

@micahj Well, okay. Of course he's an amazing musician; I have one of his CDs. I don't see why you felt called upon to make such a nasty response, though. I did call it a brilliant solo, please note. Okay, poor recording quality and an unfamiliar horn explains why he's out of tune, but at the end of the day he's still out of tune. I'll add the obvious: that playing in tune is not the hall mark of great jazz playing.

[Dragath]

nice little of prince albert slipped in there

[TrptfanLB]

I am particularly enthusiastic about Mr. Kisor's use of the tritone substitution. It is one thing to play vocabulary that utilizes the sound, but quite another as displayed here, to truly improvise within that sound and create something unique, in the moment, and

swang'n!!

[vova47]

The musical content of trumpeter´s solo (you can tell he´s listened hard to K.D.) more than compensates fo poor sound quality. Bravo,Ryan !

[Arborwaychet]

Great ... so good it is a crime to post it with this poor quality sound

[weskoki]

I got his album with P.Bernstein,really great! Real playing....

[micahj]

@weskoki

Yeah! Battle Cry is killer. Every track on it burns! I'm a lucky man... in just a few days I'll be in Washington DC competing in the National Trumpet Competition's Jazz Division, the final round of which Mr. Kisor is judging! I can't wait to meet him! One of my all-time favorite improvisers!

[Airwaven]

Whoa this is great, the man can play! He is perfectly precise on his rhythms and great style. I like the way he lays back in the rhythms.

[coolstruttin1]

haha is that wynton in the background?? this must have been after an LCJO concert!

[MrRickleeharris]

bixachmo is probably one of those weird home schooled kids that think that Harry James, Bix Beiderbeck and Satchmo were the only good jazz musicians! In other words a fossil!

[MrRickleeharris]

Really bad rhythm, awful to be precise, so fuck your mom, fuck your dad, and kill yourself with a knife! Cause Dying ain't so bad , or good for people like you, who mooch off of life and mooch off the wise and little to contribute. So live in your little world, with your little dying dick and be glad for small ponds, cause the big world requires a big stick!

[kdfan]

you have got to be brothers...

[MrRickleeharris]

good woodshed loser

[pmarati]

KD? Who's KD?

[omgblk23]

KD = Kenny Dorham.. but regardless this is a killer vid.. that solo was pretty tasteful good stuff!!

[bobcobla]

It's very obvious how much Kisor was influenced by KD. Awesome playin.

[pik1andlik1]

no it was chops bebopolis

[Bixachmo]

if you can't be serious don't comment!! Jazz is not to be joked about!! If you read up on your history you will know that Chops Bebopolis was a musician yes, but known more for his design of the sunless tanning lotion used by many one legged blacksmiths`in the late 1500's. Comment right or don't write at all mister Lik1.

[MrRickleeharris]

"Jazz is not to be joked about!" What a snob! Dizzy would be kicking you right now for that dumb comment! He used to joke about jazz AND during jazz all the time! Music is for enjoyment as well as intellect! Yes I'm a jazz musician, yes I went HSPVA and yes I also attended Berklee! You know what?Here's a joke comment that will probably make your head blow up! I think Kysor got his influence from Kirk Hammet and Kenny G while holding out the high note, as it was so piercing and so long!

[jeanwoo840810]

is that Wynton played before Ryan???

[micahj]

Kisor for president! One of the greatest players out there today... I have just revisited my Kisor collection... I can't stop listening to "Point of Arrival." Such a great album! I hope to hang with this cat someday... what a smokin' player!

[kdfan]

nah, great solo, man.
