Wynton Marsalis -jam session at Vitoria Jazz Festival 06

[valvetrom]

Mr New Orleans ,adorable,but doesn't use the scale the same way as usual

[Trombonechess]

hey! you should've heard the conversations going on during this. They were fucking Killer! you can't judge until you've heard these life changing epics being told.

[Aliboschi]

This is almost too painful to watch...I will never understand how can people talk during anyone performing, not to mention these amazing jazz musicians! It makes me sick!

[JLMUSICPRODUCTIONS]

Man!!!

[extasis1111]

shut up SUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!!!! why the hell all this people is talking?!?!?!?!

[drlluc]

@extasis1111 this is spain bro...

[brikzmaster]

@vitaminq13 Nope, its Vincent Gardner

[jimbrodieshaffer]

@theuntold90 I disagree....he sucks

[fromdirttodustpro1]

@jimbrodieshaffer I would like to kindly ask why you think he sucks? His solos are on time and fit with the chords being played. The camera does not do his tone justice, I know this because he regularly plays at a bar in my neighborhood. He can hit the high notes easily it seems.

[yukidbrud]

check out bluetrainproduction for cd

[Barrbadun]

I love the sound of Jazz melting away between the voices...I think is the way jazz should be heard. A lonley cry in a crowed world.....I know it's corny but....

[CWBou812]

Not corny at all Barrbadun, Jazz is good stuff :)

[bbaker90]

love skylark!

[Ormaaj]

ROFLMAO! Even if this is a small venue, are you guys seriously just chatting away and munching on fude while one of the greatest musicians of our time plays for you? What the fuck? God... just what the fuck??!

[popnlocker77]

"munching on FUDE?" What the heck? Did you ever take any english/spelling classes?

[Ormaaj]

There is no such thing as a spelling class.

[popnlocker77]

Instead of saying "English or Spelling," I said "English/Spelling."

When I wrote it, I had in mind that some core English classes have vocabulary and spelling sections, not that there is a separate English class. Hence the slash.

[chonypark]

my goodness no more manners in this world =T i wonder what they were thinking in their head when they were playing...

[thepigabitcha]

It always amazes me how people talk talk talk even when there's great jazz being played. My old father used to say "if you can't improve on silence shut the f--- up"

What are people they there for? not to listen that's for sure.

[sazonfunk]

i tour europe every summer and i get much better treatment in europe than in the states.......

[dropfan195]

Does anyone know the name of this tune?

[magicdudegary]

Skylark

[BrunaoJazzistico]

Polinomio, you don't have idea how i love you for posting this! And recording of course.

Definitely is the video from him i like the most. And more important, that was one of the very first songs that made me truly love Jazz.

[wannaplaytrmptjmu]

is his trumpet a taylor custom?

[dropfan195]

yup i think the mouth piece is attached to the trumpet.

[scoggles]

Wynton plays Monette exclusively.

[wannaplaytrmptjmu]

ah ok, i knew he played either, i just wasn't sure, and wtf would someone give me a bad comment rating for asking a question, what tards....

[T4csk]

Perhaps the audiance where joining in, in a sort of Jazz improvisation talking?

I don't think the audiance where being rude,peope talk and perhaps where the camera and mike where positioned picked up a bad area, the appaluse at the end of the clip showed that they did enjoy it. After all it's jazz and its meant to be relaxed, easy listening, background music to be enjoyed.

[marspeed1]

Agreed... almost. You had me until "background." Oh man, there's nothing "background" about Coltrane shredding at 208 BPM, or Oscar Peterson executing melodic improvs with deadly accuracy, or Wynton swinging the heck out of Tunisia, or Erskine making his toms sing, or... you get the point.  Sometimes, nay, OFTEN TIMES, jazz comes to the "foreground." And those times, you just can't help but to shut up and enjoy! At least that's my experience.

[mrbird00]

this shows how rude european people can be. how pity.

[kibadanghi]

maybe they didn't know who he was.

[evildelul]

joder ke barullo arma la gente en vez de escuxar esta maravilla

[ariactb]

Very nice and pure.

[Nikolapoz]

I can't understand why people is talking while such a trumpet player, required to play everywhere is jamming...please... Karmen

[boricuatrumpet69]

people talk in these because there's alcohol being and not only we as americans are fucked. now imagined if this happened in europe nah I don't think so.

[Nikolapoz]

Do you know where is Vitoria??

[boricuatrumpet69]

In Europe. Diner is being served. Yes or no?

[boricuatrumpet69]

are you a musician? or the taste of good music?

[polinomio]

No,this is not a restaurant,and it was 2 in the morning-too late for a dinner in Spain, too.People is talking too loud because they are ignorants and rude-in Europe are a lot, as everywhere-.They know that this is the great composer that played Suite for Vitoria 3 hours before at the main venue,but they only like the social meeting that this festival is.Not all the audience is so stupid,of course,but the organization should forbide the entrance to the people that doesn't appreciate this gift.

[Startac2007]

There is something curious in the trumpet that uses, I find that always, Wynton Marsalis: their mouthpiece differs of the classic ones and also its tone (color) it is opaque.

[Startac2007]

Does the style of Marsalis remind me to Cliford Brow that you say?

[greengrocer11]

Outstanding!

[Startac2007]

Am there, where this Vitoria-Gasteiz?

[polinomio]

Vitoria-Gasteiz is in Basque Country, in the North of Spain, near France.

[Startac2007]

Thank you my friend

[Nikolapoz]

Es un genio, pero la gente que no para de hablar que se vaya a casa y se ponga un disco.

El final es precioso...

[samthesolidmanlass]

those people were so lucky to hear Wynton perform live, and they had no respect by not aknowledging him, but being quiet and listening!

[honkymonky78]

fuck them.they don't know nothing about jazz, and legend.i'm gonna see wynton, in august, at jazz festival in marciac.for this time, i'm lucky and proud to be french....from the 2th to the 10th august, and there are other legend of jazz, w. herbie hancok, maccoy tyner, bill evans, and many other. I AM SO FUCK'N happy. sorry for you dude

[nateo5]

i love skylark

[skybo053]

Who is on trombone?  He sounds great.

[jazz33men]

Agradecer a wynton todo lo que hace por el jazz y venir a Vitoria-Gasteiz cada dos años.

Steamboat jazz band

[Mrlogie]

!!!so moving and beautiful!!!

[LANDIBAJ]

I reckon he is the best next to Dizzie.

[Zombbg4]

I reckon there is no best, and Wynton is no where near there.

[jazzmanpianer]

Wow. That is one logically conflicted comment.

[TCITR]

Wynton is just not an inovator, that doesnt mean he doesnt make great music

[craizycraze]

wynton looks so goddam fat now!!!

[jojomusic69]

Ha!

[rpoole444]

with out wynton, Jazz would be in a totally different/lesser spot...man he kept the music rollin! Killin' Player!!

[holygroove2]

That looks like Vincent Gardener on trombone!

Wynton has been through alot, and I respect his work ethic - he's an extremely intelligent man. I'd check out Nicholas Payton or Terrance Blanchard though... those guys are on another level.

[GJones900]

Speaking of Vincent Gardner, have you heard his older brother Derrick Gardner (Trumpet) formerly of Count Basey and Harry Connick Jr. Orchestras. Currently on staff at Mich St. Check him out!

[holygroove2]

I certainly have - I met Derrick while he was still playing with Harry Connick Jr a while ago... like 2002/2003 or so. We got to perform with him. Both guys are gentlemen, and they are very helpful!

[lpsling]

Whether or not you like Wynton...what he says in the press and his whole persona...he really does get snakes out of a trumpet and is a good musical communicater...he plays Skylark here so I really hear the tune, and his phrases speak to me. Yeh...Wynton!!

[golcowie]

wynton is ok...

Pawel Golec

[Elliot84]

what is just ok about him? I respect your opinion. I'm just intrested to know what you do not like about his playing particularly in this tune.

[NicolaBenso]

Wynton is not a jazz man

[Elliot84]

lol, what a horrible answer.

[jl3tbone]

Agreed (hahahaha). Sorry, NicolaBenso, but Wynton Marsalis is most definitely a jazz man.

[LANDIBAJ]

You do not know what you are talking about

[solb4life]

My friends dad is the Manager of wynton Marsalis..he came to my school to talk to our jazz band(Springbrook High School JAzz Band)..he's very good.

[jazzflutist]

Wynton. He's the man (Branford too).

[bertinotti]

God, with the by now densely nuanced history of music to react to, learn from, converse with, talk down, reject, perfect, a variation on the traditional is a work of love. I don't need a paradigm shift in music, I need guys like Wynton dancing their difference on what has come before in the room of love and regret and nostalgia and solitude.

[bodhimian]

i think marsalis plays pretty hip... he just adamant about people who say they are playing jazz should know the history of the thing...and what is 'jazz' by him is that it has a swing beat, theres a main melody, and every major section of a progression is accentuated during the improvisation (in other words theres an audible switch when the bridge comes)

[derekthederek]

this is one of my favorite songs ever.

[BrunaoJazzistico]

Plz does anyone knows the name of that song ?

[scibof]

It's Stardust composed by Hoagy Carmichael. This is a lovely interpretation.

[BrunaoJazzistico]

Thank you very much scibof ! Appreciate.

[thomasmucha]

Yes. It's "Skylark." Great ballad....

[scibof]

You are so right. That was careless of me.

[jazzpiano10]

I believe it was Miles Davis who said that Marsalis was responsible for the halt of the progression of jazz. Marsalis is too concerned with preserving the history of jazz to the point that he's making jazz historical. Jazz was all about being hip, and right now its becoming passe. True, appreciate your elders, but progress from them into new uncharted territory. At JazzOasis dot com, there's an interesting article on Keith Jarrett on Marsalis.

[adriansbackup]

I agree but there are 4000 trumpet players trying to play 'hip' to every one playing old, so that's a healthy ratio. He sounds different to anyone before him any way.

[BrunaoJazzistico]

Gosh. Wonderful. Keep wondering me listening to this live having a glass of wine

[jrmckamey]

I liked this, but I wish the whole song were there. Wynton's playing very well as usual.

[aamutpet]

We play this IN jazz band at Alabama A&M, but seeIN this man perform this song id like nothINg else....Beautiful, Just Beauftiful!!!

[sysphus13]

people need to shut up while this beautiful music is being played..

[youcantakeapunch]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[Elliot84]

anyone know the title?

Elliot

[jonathangipaya]

The song is: Skylark...it's absolutely beautiful! Ella Fitzgerald sings a beautiful version of this as well as Ray Charles. You should definetely check it out.

[Elliot84]

Thanks alot man I definatly will!

Elliot

[oreojazz]

see dude this is why wynton is so hip, he started off so jive to the real jazz players because he was essentially a classical player which they were not so he had the horn down like perfect, then he learned jazz amazingly which this probes so there is no stopping him. wynton is amazing i dont care what anyone has got to say, check out his cherokee takes he blows through those changes like its his job:)

[zacary9bibi1]

You need to listen the musical ideas of Morgan..Hubbard..Gillespie and even Chet baker .. as well as Kenny Dorham ... really do some listening man and then tell me this stuff is really exceptional

[oreojazz]

yeah dude i listen to those guys all day and you forgot to mention clifford and like louos armstrong and stuff and wynton is way different then these guys but i know what your saying and i am glad to hear someone actually listens

[jaguarjoe91]

thats russell malone on guitar!

[liljjjj]

I just love he switches keys so beautifully!

Most people do it on accident!

[gregmorrow]

i would stop playing if i had so many morons talking but not listenning

[edp]

i think he had chop problems

[calientejazz]

Why did he stop playing for a while?

[klahon]

nice, very relaxing number

[marcoferraz]

thanks for sharing this gem...

[DancingSpiderman]

A romantic lovely number... I think I was conceived to this tune...yeah...

[jazzcat87]

i want to be like wynton when i grow up lol

[trumpetvideos]

[jazzcat87]

glad to  see hes playin again

[noticedfoot]
