GREEN CHIMNEYS PT. 1

[upT3mpo]

Best video ever

[JulianVerdeguer]

Anyone got a link to the CD?

[jazzzzmm]

Thats what im talkin bout! Go on wynton!

[interestinvoice]

These guys are awesome! Wynton is in rare form, a true giant in this clip. Such genius in registration and emphasis pertaining to coupled with his other obvious areas of mastery equals when he feels it watch out! So wonderful. Take Care!

[UmbrellaGirl64]

Eric Lau is another killer who went to Green Chimneys. He was there in the 1990s and he killed a woman who was a gym teacher in November 2009. It was in the paper that he killed her and that the courts sent him to David Hall, a hospital at Green Chimneys. Green Chimneys is the kind of place that makes people like Philip Zagarella, Eric Napoletano and Eric Lau even more disturbed and dangerous.

The Marsalises are some beautiful cats.

[UmbrellaGirl64]

Green Chimneys is an RTC in Brewster NY where many have been abused. I aws abused the whole damn time I was there. I'm sorry the Monkman's daughter, whom I didn't know because she was years before I was there ever went because beatings were the usual. Staff beat kids and I was given beatings every day. It's a damn shame he would name a song after that dreadful, horrible RTC.

[PoggiiBonsii]

wow, a lot of "out of tune"specialists . any idea who is playing?

[superkulmedkniv25]

I think the alto sounds great.

Then again i'm not an arrogant elitist...

He might be playing a lot of "wrong" notes, but he's definatly not out of tune.

Also, the "wrong" notes sounds great in combination with the dissonant piano.

[Superdry1302]

out of tune? he's playing a semi tone below!

[rTaHuCl]

@matcast You need your ears checked he is way out of tune. I like his ideas but his tone is very poor.

[matcast]

I think the people that think the alto is out of tune need to have their hearing checked. Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson is tearing it up on this chart!

[funkEntelechyPlacebo]

alto is really out of tune - which adds to the tension I guess

[Doleafol]

I love seeing the Asian guy playing bass. It reminds me of Louis Armstrong's drummer, who Satchmo use to affectionately call "the Little Filipino boy."

[louedawg]

CAN ANYONE PLEASE GET ME THE SHEET MUSIC TO GREEN CHIMNEYS? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

[rTaHuCl]

@ThaGearOfWar Thank you! no one ever does. he's way out of tune.

[runeskyler]

3:27 what the freaking heck

[rTaHuCl]

Sax solo bugs the hell out of me. Sounds bad. But wynton killed it!

[ThaGearOfWar]

@rTaHuCl Man I agree...that shit is ugly. xD 

[trumpetids]

I believe Miles and Freddie Hubbard wouldve changed their opinion about his jazz playing had they lived longer, maybe freddie did idk, but he did criticize him in '93 in an interview after he lost his chops.

[pigbagable]

Damn - 4 people got stone hearts and cloth ears or they are trumpet players with sour grapes... Is all.

[makjazz7]

oh yeah he steady on it you done believe me do you but ya like dat

[sonicallyopinionated]

Kengo is playing the helll out of that bass!

[PoggiiBonsii]

thelonious can be proud

[WesMetheny]

Swanga-langin

[gabigluck]

one of my favourite wynton albums!

any chance of uploading the video of 'donna lee' from this show? that piece is EPIC!

[MUSICRTW]

MY teacher just recommended this CD and I just bought it last night!!!! I have not stopped listening to it since! This is the way jazz should be!

[NotExactlyRomeo]

3:23 - 3:45 wtf?! Impossible!

[asianfrenzy666]

GREAT SCOTT!

[douglasgorney]

I didn't think I was worthyand I'm not.

[HumpaLumpa2009]

His trumpet sings. His playing is so interesting always, my one year old son pays attention to the entire solo.

[JandDReptiles]

I have this CD! Fantastic is all I can say! :)

[SteveChiodo]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Messiaenfaen]

Superb.

[knusence]

I play Trumpet and Bass im LOVIN THIS EVERYBIT GLAD TOO SEEE THE VIDEO

[Flitzpitz]

I already liked it on CD, but the video is still better. Does anybody know, if you can buy on DVD?

[martinplayer4u]

Wynton is da man!!! Much respect for his playing abilities. I can't stop watching this video!!! He has taken it to the next level!!

[davisc1926]

As much as I've seen this video, I keep noticing new tidbits of info. At 2:45 after the high note and the rest of the band comes in to start another chorus, Wynton admits to Warmdaddy that he temporarily "forgot where he was".

[trossitrumpet]

@davisc1926 And he still made it sound good. That's the beauty of Jazz! I love it so much.

[occidental8]

@davisc1926 Thing about that is that it has happened to the rest of us. If it hasn't, you haven't been playing enough. That's what make these performance perfect in their nature. You can play the same thing about 800-1000 times and then one day you just blank out and you feel more human than you ever could. It's amazing.

[Ormaaj]

Oh I get it now! It sounds like Wynton is playing lydian but really what I was hearing is the M7th of the melodic minor scale, which if you were to take whatever key this is and take the relative major, that would be the #11 of that scale.

Since the 2nd chord of this tune is III, or the I of the relative major, it gives the scale he is playing a really interesting color because by overlapping the same scale over both modes, you end up with either melodic minor, or lydian.

Damn thats genius.

[jakedam]

Wouldn't the #11 of a relative major scale be the major sixth of its relative melodic minor?

[copedogg888]

yeah that's exactly right...so what's your point? lol

[jakedam]

Ormaaj said it would be the major seventh of the relative melodic minor scale.

[copedogg888]

oh. well he's wrong lol. wow

[copedogg888]

I'm pretty sure the form of the tune is AABA:

Abm7 for 16 bars, Gb7sus for 8 bars, Abm7 for the last 8. The second chord of the tune is actually the bVII, not the III.

The relative Major of Abm is Cb (B). the M7 of Abm is G, which is not the #11 in BM. It's the b6. Wynton is simply using the Ab mel. minor for the Abm7 (as you said), but it doesn't overlap with the Gb chord. There is no lydian mode being used.

[moss84ce]

@copedogg888

bridge is 2 chords alternating: gb min/cb7 one bar each.

[copedogg888]

basically the same thing. I saw an original transcription of the form, and the bridge was Gb7sus, which would essentially be Cb7/Gb (could also be Cbm7/Gb). Kengo (the bassist) seems to stick to Gb in the bridge during the solos.

[hombrequemiralaluna]

These guys are ridiculously good.

[nb734]

you wouldn't happen to have the donna lee from this show on video?

[photoheaven7]

Yes, so amazing absolute miracles!

[HumpaLumpa2009]

it´s jaw dropping.

[sysphus13]

anyone saying shit about wynton needs to watch this shit

[kingoliver45]

I don't understand how someone could not like this dude! He is a pure genius who deserves full recognition!! This is my favorite performance of his that I've ever seen!! Thanks for posting the best wynton video ever houseoftribes!!

[poursavoir]

At 2:47 the tune takes off thanks to Eric Lewis: what an impact on the band!

[kingoliver45]

I am addicted to this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kingoliver45]

I love what he does at about 1 58

[kingoliver45]

I am completely speachless!!!!!!!!

[0lfo]

the best rendition of this song i thinks I've ever heard! thanks for sharing!

[SaxHero]

(3:49-)3:55-4:25(-4:29). Period. I love the way he jumps two octaves at a time before that as much as the next person, but his phrasing here is so amazing. The way he works with just that one idea and just those few notes including my beloved flat 6 is absolutely brilliant. So choice.

[davisc1926]

You are spot on!! Wynton always teaches that in jazz improvisation you should get an idea and milk it for what it's worth and that is quite evident in all of his solos. Everybody listen to the bridge at 1:50 when Joe accents on the snare and Wynton 'fakes' him out on the repeated phrase. You can hear the guys laughing in the background. I LOVE JAZZ!!!

[SaxHero]

You and me both, my friend. I play saxophone (big surprise there given my username...) and it's clips like this that make me realize that there is nothing else that I would rather be doing with my life.

[kingoliver45]

YES!!! best vid on the tube!!!

[crazymonk125]

thats wat arbans interval studies and slurring and legato playimg help u do

[toddjh1617]

that high note at 1:54 came out of no where:) very cool

[SpencerMA89]

and the changes...

[davisc1926]

I wish I could help you, but all I know is a 32-bar chorus in the AABA form. Maybe more musically inclined people than myself can give you the harmonies. Thank goodness I don't have to know the actual chord changes in order to listen!! haha :)

[SpencerMA89]

does anyone know the harmonies in this? thanks

[Julie59105]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[poursavoir]

Timeless.

[Gyrfalcon89]

Kengo Nakamura= BAMF

[k0sha]

pardon my ignorance, but what is BAMF?

[mastertrumpetissimo]

from the movie pulp-fiction.

an acronym standing for Bad A** MotherF*****

wynton marsalis is BAMF, for example.

[queekers]

@k0sha

a stupid catchphrase coined by Dane Cook

Bad Ass Mother Fucker

[bassist1627]

is that David Wong on bass?

[gerbschmitt]

watch part 2. Kengo Nakamura.

[nb734]

hey do you have the donna lee from this show.

[twijag]

love you wynton keep on keepin on!

[brasshorn]

just amazing.

[fulzgy]

Dude this song was filmed! I had no idea, this song is so sick

[MCroach1]

Damn, Wessell's solo is so killin! Wynton's is too, don't get me wrong, but damn!

[ncodrington]

In about 2005 I heard this on Jazz On 3 and loved it...so I transcribed it. I finished it up to the break at 2:47 then I left it for years lol.

Monster player - Wynton Marsalis - my fave trumpeter right next to Jon Faddis!

[davisc1926]

I love how Wynton invites the drummer into the conversation at 2:00. To me, his music in general is so inviting. There are few musicians that are such virtuosos on their instruments, they can basically play anything in anyway during improvisation. It amazes me how he jumps octaves at 3:23 and not crack a note!!

[joshin17]

His whole solo builds up to 4:43. I can listen to that line over and over. It is fuckin good.

[trane1959]

at 3:23. wynton Man? What the fuck are you even doing. You are a beast. After 20 seconds of two octave leaps, you even freak yourself out. You are the shit.

[trane1959]

This is the shit. Wynton, we all bow to your amazing-oscity

[jbquintet]

no its good :)

[enjoythevoyage]

Fantastic video and channel! 5 superstars!

[smak99]

seriously hes a monster

[melvinandfriends]

Check out the sudden high note Wynton plays at 1:54. I also like the face expressions on the bass player while he is playing a duet with Wynton.

[davisc1926]

Ahh yes, I love the sound of surprise.

[melvinandfriends]

Check out sudden high note wynton plays at 1:54.

[WesMetheny]

AAaaahhh!! 6:20! Wess is a bad mutha-shut-yo-mouth-tritone-na­sty-um... well, he's very good, i guess is the point i'm trying to make here.

[Monkeylobber111]

man i love this song.  and wynton and his band are amazing as usual!

[necrosfeelyaks]

holy shit..... give me some of those chops...

[ruquet]

Really impressive video!!!

Thank you so much, House of Tribes!

I've listened to the CD of this live hundreds of times (no exaggeration at all), and wondered if I could see the video.

[tapjet]

ditto

[gabigluck]

same, bought it a few months ago and i'm obsessed with it! check on am*z*n, some of the comments about this album. some people complain about too much audience noise. personally, I LOVE IT! it brings the music to life.

house of tribes - if you've got a video of Donna Lee from this gig, i'd love to see it!

[HOUSEOFTRIBES]

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm working on

"You don't know what love is" right now.  I promise to do "Donna Lee" next. I'm so happy you like the recording, stay tuned, there's more to come.

HouseOfTribes

[superbike81]

another here. i listen to this album constantly. its sooooo good that it just doesnt get old for me.

[Elliot84]

is that one of his students on bass? he's killin it anyway. as for wynton what can you say? the guys career and playing says it all.

Elliot

[calpitch]

That's Kengo Nakamura on bass. He's bad as hell.

[harrysweets]

My chops feel funky, I listen to some Wynton.

Check it out-it helps!

[trp001]
