Wynton Marsalis "Diminuendo & Crescendo in blue - Duke Ellington"

[sandm827]

Im on a Walter Blanding( Tenor Soloist) Kick . I had the pleasure of sitting and having a meal with him in 2004 or 2003. He didnt have much to say, seemed sort of removed from this world. It could have been that I was 15 or 16 as well. I love his playing though

[sounderskid21]

@sandm827 Did you go to the essentially ellington festival?

[sandm827]

@sounderskid21 yea Twice

[sounderskid21]

@sandm827 What school?

[tjc197]

Love the drummuh!

[AgaPadar]

It is a recreation, but a pretty good and enjoyable one too. And since it keeps me swinging it has its purpose,

[jgreen741]

The Piano comping on the tenor solo is SO GOOD

[IOLTA]

So what moron didn't like this? A valiant attempt to re-create a *terrific* moment in the jazz canon.

(. . . and Cat played the same solo *every* night they played it)

[SoberGlobe]

Wynton Marsalis trumpet solo

[bluekeilwerth]

@adejuric could you please just post the names of all the soloists here?

[msailors]

@msailors Victor Goines on clarinet as well.

[msailors]

@bluekeilwerth ....and Seneca Black at the end. 

[James9533]

I wish I was in this band so bad... I would cut off my right foot to be able to play with these guys just for a couple months.

[canekzapata]

there's is a JaLCO cd with this? or dvd...?

[RobinsonWith]

@1745hhh you mad?

[RobinsonWith]

lol wut is this

[HGMusicProductions]

@viperd93 Perhaps the most ignorant thing said on this video!

[JH5251]

when was this video taken?

[YoungTrumpeteer]

Soooo crisp. So strict in timing. Oh my gosh!

[JH5251]

i really dig that tenor player, whats his name?

[musicmanson]

@JH5251 Walter Blanding Jr.

[kaseyWtrumpet]

I think that I might have to listen to this again.

[mahlermahlermahler1]

am i the only one who loves that low clarinet bit towards the end? I think it's soooo damn great, but so is everything else about the tune...whether it's ellington playin or the lincoln jaazzz orchestra.

[musy60]

Super, lese grade ein buch dazu kiana davenport gesang der verlorenen frauen... Da gehts um einen jazzmusiker der genau diese musik spielt ... Tolles buch tolle musik!

Genial

[tronco928]

ta chida la orquesta, muy buena rola esta cabron el wynton

[TosaDill]

YESSS THIS IS AMAZING!

[MrBosnian78]

wow, they really got a good ellington feel behind this song. props for all the soloists. walter did a good job of trying to have the same idea as paul gonsalves, what paul did was he would start off playing within the chords and as he soloed more and more, he would move further away from the chord changes.

great job jlco! another reason why there's no big band better today!

[Leradcoris]

ridiculous in a good way bro

[musicmanson]

Stop talking please.

[22nola]

That tenor sax player was ridiculous.

Great piece.

[tjc197]

Winton kinda looks like Clark Terry.

[stuartmack18]

not really

[tjc197]

Awesome, but yeah, he's close, but not quite as good as Paul Gonsalves

[kidfromredbank]

i see what you're saying.. a young Clark Terry and Wynton do look alike.

[BLACKROCKCCITY]

I just had multiple eargasms while listening to this.

[kirkbp1965]

He has a Eddie Lockjaw feeling to his playing, "I LOVE IT". He likes what he does. What about the drummer....SWING baby SWING !!!

[c4rv3r]

Wasn't that Ryan Kisor on muted trumpet ?

[blargbyjoey]

Who's the tenor player? He's great.

[duemanranch]

walter blanding

[BergLarsen110]

He is NO Paul though. LOL

[ask3625]

This shit is so ridiculous. What a great time for that organization. Hats off to Herlin Riley on drums.

[kurtarmbruster]

Magnificent performance of one of the Duke's greatest works! And what a strange and wonderful work it is--like nothing else. Some dis Wynton's making jazz a "repertory" thing, but not me--how lucky we are to hear works like this now. Thanks to Wynton and the band! Kurt.

[smoothbv]

Cat Anderson was the original soloist for this song they transcribe, that guy playing here at the end is Seneca Black, Cat's is way beyond his league, but he's still a fine soloist to do the job

[clskmstg]

And Cat Anderson got it!!! YEAAH!! Great vid!!

[evildelul]

ohhh si

[jonathangipaya]

diminuendo and crescendo in blue by duke ellington (1937)

[CaitlinTrumpet92]
