Struttin´with some barbecue

[DenmarkPrinceof144]

I love Wynton but Branford plays this much better.

[TimmyGuido]

ellis can comp his ass off, and his phrasing is the hippest of everyone on stage which is saying a lot

[Stryke2wice]

Jason Marsalis looks like Will Smith

[korynasz]

I'm going to dissent. I don't dislike this, but the number is called Struttin' for a reason. And there's not a lot of it here... should be fun, bold, brassy. Amazing technical proficiency by the whole family, but that's not what it's about I don't think. If you're going to give props to Pops, dazzle.. entertain.. strut.

[mariomario987]

@korynasz you are an idiot

[korynasz]

@mariomario987 ad homenim. Nice. Are you Wynton's mommy?

[kello224]

branford owned this tune

[PalabraViva3]

Mr. Ellis Marsalis can definitely pick up Voiceover gigs with that voice. LOL

[stinkycheese345]

had the opportunity to play this piece with Wynton and Jason, what's great about this family is how down to earth they are and are always eager to educate people of the wonderful world of jazz and of the life of Louis.

[lesterwyoung]

This tune was not written by Louis but by Lil, his then wife.

[Mrkowalsky1000]

são mto bons msm.. wynton eo melhor..

[cbmuzik]

These dudes could sell out shows until they are playing with dentures in their mouth....talent like THAT is hard to put together these days with the crappy music we have on the radio. =[

[clonecaptain13]

Branford just can't keep still. You gotta love it. :)

[BariNecessities]

4 people were struttin' with some ranch

[macopez1]

Well, that was a master class in How To Be Awesome.

[vincesax]

does anyone know if the soprano music for this song is in production?

[lmsypj]

magic

[vincesax]

gotta love that trombone

[musiccc568]

amazing



[dixjazz]

Worth listening to Ellis Marsalis in the album "In the bag" with him on piano, the Adderley Brothers and the late.....great(really great) drummer JAMES BLACK.(RIP)...

[catfishphil]

Jason on drums is absolutely the most talented of the family! Watching him play with Ellis at Snug Harbor is definitely a high point in my life!

[cbmuzik]

@catfishphil

Jason plays xylophone too....the dude is heavy! He's had some pretty good gigs over the years, very versatile and barely gets any rec.

[53160]

Sax solo is my fav, but Wynton K blowin it up as well. As usual on this kind of stuff. Good times.

[HGMusicProductions]

Seriously man! I wonder what it was like jamming at home with family! I wish I knew the feeling.

[teetosh]

The First Family of Jazz? Talk about getting your kids to practice. This is really sweet! Way to go Ellis!

[Yanadew]

Awesome!

[bigdaveV12]

Wynton's opening phrase (his whole intro really) says "Hey listen up mutha fuckas! I've got some shit to say, and it's going to be hip as fuck."

[nfn58]

playing quotes? how dare they! except that it's a great tool. and literally every licked they played is recycled.. they have 50000000 licks and use them in different places at different times.

[Buasop]

@nfn58

If you are a better musician, then by all means post something. Anyone who plays jazz plays someone else's tunes

[ChuckMehrowtra]

@nfn58 That's kind of what jazz is.. If you listen to enough recordings, someone's going to have played it before.

[nfn58]

@ChuckMehrowtra  haha, that's exactly what i'm saying...

[shaoskham]

very cool

[reckber28]

Swinging baby, Swinging!

[CBLA009]

Beautiful Posting! Thanks. :))

[donotclickonthis]

I dont know if anyone else noticed this.

But evreyone is throwing around quotes from Donna Lee in their solos

[sadizes]

Man, Charlie Parker had such a crazy impact on Jazz that all solos are gonna have "quotes from Donna Lee in their solos". The thing is that it's gotten to a point where soloists do it subconsciously; Good ear though!

If you right times in the video where they do it. I'll tell you if it really is a quote.

[axeman721]

I have the CD that was recorded during this show, one of my favorite songs. makes u wanna dance

[sarahblue1]

Great playing, but Louis Armstrong did not write it, and these guys should know that. Lillian Hardin Armstrong,

Louis's second wife wrote it.

[Mike20107]

wow, that's great who cares.

[roornc]

but he made it famous

[nfn58]

he they said the song is by Lillian Armstrong they would be like... wtf who is that? Louis' wife?

[audiofile7]

Awesome bass player!

[fli0320]

Wyntons solo is AMAZING!! :)

This song is the best

[rovingeye5]

Man, they sound great together and individually! It's a joy to hear them and a fitting tribute to Louis!

[Jazzman303]

Man Branford got so much better than he was in the 80's.

[redhouse7]

haha at 3:58 Branford is like yeh...and wynton is like...wtf branford

[davisc1926]

They weren't talking at all, they were admiring Delfeayo's note.

[Fjord76]

@redhouse7 right on! i spoke with Wynton @Marciac Jazz festival like 10 years ago and my friends and I told him how much we admired Branford and he just said "oh Branford....he's good you know,he's good but he's not serious,if only he could work seriously..." at the time we didn't even understand what he was talking about and we started a jazz 5tet right away that was called...Not Serious ;)

[saphiremaster]

does anyone know where i could get sheet music for this version? like, the melody and chord changes for all the instruments? thanks!

[Jazzman303]

[joeman342]

Jazz rulz.

[rjpolk]

what a talented family, each one is one of the best at their instruments

[AshmanGT]

The way the song should be done.

[kingoliver45]

Damn this is HOT!!!

[9652584]

Excellent, of course, but Louis never had to leave the chords of the tune to swing.

[putput00]

Ahhhh.... now this is what it all boils down to. Everyone one swingin and havin a good ol' time. And yes, they're ALL playin the chord changes. there is such things as altered chords, diminished and augmented chords. throw some anticipations and suspensions in there, there's all kinds of fun you can have with this tune. By the end of ellis' solo, his sons are just enjoying there father play

[Lauren032303]

man ....people take things way to far

[Mamasan41]

Arvell Shaw!!! Thank you ton1010. I was wondering!

[ricoposole]

this song is way better than the original..its more modern...

[mwljazzguitar]

Delfeayo came to Iowa and did a clinic near where I live, for an honor band that I am a member of. Of course, I went. After the clinic, his quintent played a set of various compositions and standards. I was lucky enough to be called out of the audience by Delfeayo himself to take a solo on the last tune, It Don't Mean A Thing. It, as of yet, has been the highlight of my short career.

[Mamasan41]

Dolores Marsalis, you are terrific!

[Mamasan41]

Now wait a minute, we have to get Mrs. Marsalis a tambourine at least, and a CD by Prince. She is TOOOOOO far back in the house!

[jazztrump9]

does anyone else find it slightly disturbing that they have enough people playing instruments in their family to make a combo and that they all sound that good?

[SCIDAVE]

slightly, though in the best sense of the word

[ton1010]

Perfect except they left out the great bass sound

as only Arvell Shaw could play.

[drlluc]

that's incredible. how to play modern jazz and classic jazz perfectly. marsalis are the best

[millsbrothers]

This tune goes back a long ways!!!!!

[biggles21]

Spit that hot fire Wynton!

[mountaindewaddict11]

one of the greatest songs and some of the best jazz musicians in the world perfoorming it!

[nygrrl99]

incredible talent. thank you!!

[gemurin]

This is one of my favorites!! they´re really great!!

[DaffyTRP]

Thanks for video! You know the name of the drumer? Greetings from Argentina!

[Ianmc26]

jason marsalis

[CShell07]

Thats was fantastic. Thanks for the great post. Imagine having that many family members with all that talent. Brandford and Wynton play so different than their younger brothers, but Ellis plays it like it is. They are giants standing in the footsteps of giants.
