Jazz trumpet duet with Roy Hargrove and Art Farmer "Ow!"

[rodwingii]

Roy is putting the dressing on this joint lol

[rodwingii]

killin

[Johnflugelhorn]

Great video. Art Farmer is playing a Flumpet which is a hybrid made by Monette. The Flumpet is part trumpet and part flugelhorn. Art played flugelhorn for many years.

[MartaBtrp]

:))))

[Nerd4Sales]

amazing on cornet but better on trumpet

[Wilsox]

I love art farmer

[TheFastdiamond]

who ever disliked doesn't know real music



[SamehhFx]

@TheFastdiamond that's in your opinion.

[dvdvns]

Ooh thats high @ 3:24 (double c?)

[MSWproductions55]

@dvdvns well it's just a regular c. he plays some f's in there too!

[13CIRCLE]

1:13

[decus69]

You just cant beat old school-you can only learn from them and visa versa.

[skilletmonsterful]

Cool.

[FitnessMinded]

Quick see, Art Farmer is playing a "flumpet"

[sean33313]

Is that ray brown on bass?

[sigmonky]

Art Farmer -- man, even his flubs sound amazing! They both sound great. To my ears, Farmer was stretching out more than Hargrove but 2 really fine solos....

[montytp]

To hear/see some good Art Farmer check out his work with Gerry Mulligan. He joined Gerry's group in 1958. Played with him some in the 60's also.

[bohemiandonut]

What is all this bullshit in the comments?

I've just discovered Farmer and I'm blown away. Every single note he plays has that nearly inimitable tone of soulful "cool" that Miles Davis perfected on Kind of Blue. I'm excited to hear much more from this amazing man.

[leevancleef83]

MAybe you outta hear Modern Art, CIty Lights and Meet the Jazztet. Some of Farmer´s finest recordings



[FranzKEYGUIMPET80]

who is the drummer?

[littlebones18]

Who's the pianist?? He shreeddss

[glennsf]

@littlebones18 Jacky Terrasson

[TheNinosuth]

can anybody tell me what key this is in?

[Jazzman303]

@TheNinosuth Bb. a popular choice for Rhythm Changes.

[Zacktpt]

chris botti was always incredible to me, beautiful person who I had the pleasure to get to know. Chris plays what is honest to him. His tone is unbelievable, one of the things I could never get over w/ hargrove. I've heard botti play clifford brown solos spot on, he wants to play what he wants to play, not redo something that was already done. I suggest you go listen to him live, it's def. different than his records, if nothing else you get to hear his amazing sidemen if you're still acritic

[0rganDon0r]

Older guy is playing a cornet.

[jjortiztorres]

that´s a flumpet from Monnette factory @0rganDon0r

[0rganDon0r]

@jjortiztorres The length and sound isn't right for a trumpet.

[bbad1972]

I love Art Farmer, but this piano player killed it!

[nabilhc]

Oh wow! Jacky Terrasson on the piano!

[Zombbg4]

THe title is duet, not duel lol You can't compare players like these, they're both great in their own way. Roy's playing is pure soul and I effing love when he commands with those overblown notes. He's got a voice as recognizable as Mile's in my opinion. Just one of those nasty, gritty notes and you know it's him. Seeing him in such a small clinic setting staring down his bell was one of the greatest musical things I've ever witnessed, and Gerald Clayton backing him up only made it sweeter.

[avivagabriel]

Actually, I'm so impressed with Art Farmer's solo here that I'd like to clip it from the greater whole; it's a gem of a showcase for his mastery and talent, his understated yet brilliantly expressive, unfettered, unselfconscious playing. Wish I knew how to do that (clip a segment from video footage). Thanks for posting this, adejuric. :D

[plople1]

what song is this?

[plople1]

@plople1 nevermind... that was the dumbest question ever.... "ow"

[Arborwaychet]

Put me in the Art Farmer camp ... with the caveat that this is a young Hargrove ... playing great and 'going for it' even under the pressure of playing alongside Farmer. Farmer's solo just has more poise and a wider range of ideas and techniques ... he also conjures some beautiful mellow tones out of that instrument when he wants to ... credit to a master

[Timok67]

hot damn i sure do love jazz!!!!

[JazzNaySean]

i love hargrove but i think art farmer killed it off wit taht cornet in that solo

he sounded more rich and i think he had better ideasss

[davehedgehog]

@JazzNaySean it's a flumpet - monette.com

[JazzNaySean]

@davehedgehog oh really? whats the difference? is it like a cross between a trumpet and a a flugle?

[davehedgehog]

@JazzNaySean yeh basically it's the lovechild of a cornet and a flug. i think he used to play cornet back in the day.. might be wrong though

[CaptainJazz92]

Hah, as much as I loved the trumpets, being a trumpeter myself, you gotta give some serious props to Terrasson...God DAMN

[onalyd]

anyone know the name of the drummer?

[piercedearmusic]

@onalyd

I believe that's Alvin Queen.

[apbernard]

You can't say no one wins. As most trumpet players will agree, we are naturally competitive by nature of the instrument. All due respect but i think even roy hargrove would say art handed it to him on this one. No disrespect. Matter of fact just to have the opportunity to get roasted by Art Farmer gets props by itself. Of course you respect both their musicianship but give Art his due.

[quickturtle]

Great stuff !!

[neody14]

both wins..

[soulgriot]

No one was consistently cooler than Art Farmer . . . not even Miles.

[RyaneJackson]

Both solos were just as good, no one won or lost. Both killed.

[imaster34]

@RyaneJackson It was a duet not a duel

[rdangelo]

Art wins.

[jabh1354]

Yup, it's definitely a battle...

[intrepidpooch]

@Santi2c He quotes the melody of Taking A Chance On Love, Wayne Shorter used to quote that a lot on some Blakey albums (Mosaic, etc).

[VJSco]

ho yes

[diegoaalzate]

what's the piece name?

[romolojazz]

maybe, monk's song

[bricemosk]

it's written in the name of the video : ow!

it's a dizzy gilespie's composition

[8shadowking8]

DAMN that is jazz right here WOOOOOOOOO

[ouruhuru]

I love the way Art is like "shit, what is this dude playing over rhythm changes" when Terrasson starts playin.

Great vid!

[jerec576]

Never liked Hargrove. Then again these are 2 completely different musicians from different generations.

[drlluc]

hargrove is the man!

[funkygrooveman]

swingin 100% :D

[pzcato]

what's not to like? Undeniable tone, great ideas...dude plays real jazz in a Chris Botti world.

I think he's the shit.

[jerec576]

Im not denying his ability. We all have our own opinions and tastes. Thats all. He knows how to play and has a background that is undenyiable.

[mitjazz]

@pzcato chris botti can play - don't kid your self

[pzcato]

@mitjazz never said he couldn't. I implied that he doesn't play real jazz...argue that one. Botti sounds good...but so did Liberace.

[mitjazz]

@pzcato - why would i bother arguing with someone who uses the term "real jazz".

[pzcato]

@mitjazz c'mon, man...you're no fun lol

[mitjazz]

@pzcato o.k - this is my opinion on the subject . there a million talented trained jazz musicians across the the country and the world who can reproduce any style of jazz . if a guy gets a break at all - he's one lucky mother fucker - chris botti was right in there taking lessons studying the masters going to jams beating himself up with the best of them . he got a break - has sold millions of records and sells out concert venues . i don't listen to his music but many people like it.

[pzcato]

@mitjazz I agree. He has maximized his opportunities and manufactured a fantastic career for himself. But he didn't do it by NOT playing elevator music. That's all I'm saying...

[mitjazz]

@pzcato good luck to you playing what you consider " real jazz" . every jazz musician i know has their own opinion about what real jazz is . and guess what they rarely agree . maybe you should get a doctorate and teach jazz - academia seems to be the only place where real jazz thrives .

[pzcato]

@mitjazz I've never seen someone be so defensive about smooth jazz lol. And you're very wrong about the vitality of jazz. I can hear the real deal nearly any night of the week where I live...no drum machines, cheesy back beats, or wind makers. Just the interaction of musicians expressing themselves within a form... jazz is alive and well, sir. Hargrove is to Botti as Hubbard was to Alpert. Let's not kid ourselves.

[mitjazz]

@pzcato i'm obviously dealing with a child - get back to me if you grow up

[pzcato]

@mitjazz interesting approach...

[Tobey2k4]

@mitjazz

Let's not get sucked into another 'real jazz' debate. It's been done. People got angry. Babies, prams, bathtubs and sinks were verbally thrown. I'm sure (and indeed hope) if Botti / Hargrove get together and play each others' music they will respect each other as musicians, just as Stephane Grapelli and Yehudi Menuhin did when they hooked up.

[TaKKun1123]

@Tobey2k4 Seconded

[Zacktpt]

@pzcato botti was always incredible to me, beautiful person who I had the pleasure to get to know. Chris plays what is honest to him. His tone is unbelievable, one of the things I could never get over w/ hargrove. I've heard botti play clifford brown solos spot on, he wants to play what he wants to play, not redo something already done. I suggest you go listen to him live, it's def. different than his records, if nothing else you get to hear his amazing sidemen if you're still acritic

[pzcato]

@Zacktpt I'm not critical of Botti as a player. I just said he doesn't play real jazz.

That. Is. A. Fact.

[nickalsk117]

@pzcato i think they just missed the "like" button

[dvdvns]

@pzcato

Indeed.

[hornplayer79]

Can someone please tell me what the name of this tune is, and it is not "OW!" because I have heard this a thousand times elsewhere, which means it is a standard, but if you do a search for "OW" "jazz" this is nowhere to be found on youtube or google, THANKS !!

[TheGWFrog]

@hornplayer79 Yes, it most certainly is Dizzy's "Ow!" Search "Dizzy Gillespie, Ow!" & hear it played by the original.

[beeshor1]

@hornplayer79 Yes, the name of this tune is "Ow" but what may have thrown you was when Roy started quoting Thelonious Monk's "Nutty" in the middle of his solo. He did it so well that it could cause a person to think it was a part of the featured tune.

[failing6515]

i never liked you

[OscarPetersonFan]

I was looking this footage for years. I remember they also played Clifford Brown's "Blues Walk"

[Zombbg4]

Ow is what I just said cus these guys are killin!

[Blancolate]

That "flumpet" Art is playiong on is a real "sound-killer". Wonder how much stronger he would have sounded on a regular trumpet. He always makes it look so easy!

[jerec576]

the flumpet is part of his sound, its what he wanted his physical sound to sound like- very mellow and deep. He didnt like the harse sound of the trumpet. Infact, in his interviews he mentioned he played the flugelhorn because it gave him the sond he wanted without having to work to get it like on a trumpet. His early records with trumpet still sound very mellow

[CincyTrumpetPlaya]

Wow you can really hear Lee Morgan's influence on Hargrove's sound in this one! Love it!

[tumbleweed94]

Gotta love art farmer, but i think Roy wins this one. I liked all Art Farmer's pentatonic lines though. The piano player

(Jacky Terrasson according to jacosunn) is bomb.

[kdfan]

You guys should check out how Art Farmer sounded when he was 23 (which is about how old Roy is here). Search Wardell Gray + Art Farmer and check out "The Squirrel" and "Farmer's Market". Two amazing recordings from 1952.

[copedogg888]

who is that on keys???

[jacosunn]

I think he is Jacky Terrasson

[OscarPetersonFan]

Jacky Terrason

[sometrumpetplayer1]

Roy and Art on one stage what a treat. I love them both. Roy was one of Wyntons students, lucky dog :)

[cormier0007]

hell lucky dog.. my teacher was a student of wynton and then chase sanborn and then pat harbison.. he said both chase and pat were amazing players but sucked at teaching... and he said wynton was the best teacher he even had and hes a great man 2 (sry for my english)

[sweetmo28]

love roy , great track ty...

[jrpjazz]

Roy is amazing! I really want to see him live soon!

[jerec576]

Art Farmer wins hands down. Just more recently got into his style

[0lfo]

i agree

[KJshackx3]

miles davis plays that in oleo

[peludoviera]

5 or 6 years old

[micahj]

How old is Roy here? Anybody know?

[KJShackx]

i think art died in '99, so the oldest roy could be is about 29??

[micahj]

Roy looks much younger than that. Early 20s I'd guess. But he's got a baby face anyway, so I don't know.

[OscarPetersonFan]

Art died in '98, and Roy was born in '69, so he was 30

[OscarPetersonFan]

He is 30

[erickoechlin]

In 1:14 you can see Art Farmer laughing after Roy Hargrove quoting Dizzy's famous solo beginning lick on Ow! That's priceless!

[erickoechlin]

Roy Hargrove is just amazing

[jwin161]

woody shaw

[watski]

around 1.28 Roy quotes Monk's Nutty if that was what you meant?

[remilburne7]

Ray played that quote from Christopher Columbus.

[GodzRicko]

Art jammin man. lol. Gota love it.

[kdfan]

this is the dizzy tune "ow!"
