  • una duda amigos, qué estilo de jazz es esta cansion? pork no es ballad jazz, ni blues, por favor, si alguien sabe, comunikemelo por favor. gracias, gracias o thanks you, :)

  • i love this video. perfect tribute to my grandfather who loved jazz. today was his birthday

  • What horn is he using?

    a Monet???

  • @kennedm006 yeah

  • I love listening to this guy play. It's almost as if he could care less if there was anyone in the room. He's playing for the sheer enjoyment of it....the crowd is irrelevant.

  • the "motherless child" theme stuff was especially amazing for me since i was going around on youtube the other day listening to different interpretations by voice. marsalis is great.

  • bad, bad, bad. all around some bad ass shit!

  • For the people saying this ain't Wynton's sound...i mean what the hell do you mean really?....For instance I'm a trumpet player and I used to play Salsa....If I was gonna play jazz I can't play with the same sound I use for salsa...If I was gonna play classical I can't play classical with the same sound I use for jazz or salsa...This type of music wynton's playing has to be played with this type of sound..and that's the beauty of wynton...He can'play any music the way it is supposed to be.

  • Jazz ain't about the fuckin quality you shit pickers... it's that thing you can't fuckin explain, its that shit comin out this mans Horn like the great satchmo, you have no roots, you have no fucking sound... Hats Off Marsalis, bravo

  • it's like saying classical music hasn't evolved....

  • I am halfway through "moving to higher ground" by Wynton Marsalis, its a great read, and should be required reading for anyone who considers themself a fan of jazz music.

  • the master

  • did that kid have a piccolo trumpet

  • Beautifal

  • what were the last three notes was it in the upper register

  • transcribe it. thats what some (not all) of us jazz musicians do to learn the language. listen to great musicians and find out what their sound is all about, while figuring ours out.

  • Definitivamente...Wynton Marsalis debe tocar como Wynton Marsalis ! =)

  • Eso es asi..

  • 'pops' would have been so proud.

  • Thanks for the comment.

  • And Freddie Hubbard said (in 1996) that Wynton is just into "playing the instrument good."

    This is killin.

  • In my opinion there is some truth to that statement from Freddie Hubbard. First of all I think that Wynton Marsalis is a great trumpet player, but he lets his technique over shallow his playing sometimes. You compare him to Chet Baker, Louis Armstrong or Woody Shaw and the man doesn't even come close.

  • If you listen to the majority of his albums you cannot tell if it's him or not. If he plays the southern blues his would somewhat mimic the sound of the 20's and 30's. If he did bebop then the sound he projects is of that era. If he does a ballad then his sound very mellow and legato. He is a good trumpeter but not one that would be categorise with the greats or even mediocre. But he is a walking musical historian, and theory buff. His best work is in the classical genre.

  • you should let Joe Henderson, Art Farmer, Ornette Coleman, Miles davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Jeff Watts, Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock, Clark Terry, etc. in on that.

  • are you serious? im guessing you are just another crappy horn player who, because you cant understand him, dont appreciate him. Not only has he learned and preserved the playing styles of the past, he has created his own. his sound is the culmination of everything that was and that is to be. his creativity is also evident in his composition. Get over yourself, dude, because you sound like an idiot.

  • Dude... know your history and then you can talk to me. Why do something that's been done already? That's why Jazz hasn' t grown until recently with these new cats coming up. Check out Christian Scott, Jeremy Pelt, and of course Roy Hargrove and Terence Blanchard (who came out the same time as Marsalis) . You don't him stuck on the back in the day hash. Don't mistake me man. That old stuff is great but it's been done by every jazz musician born.

  • none of the guys you mentioned, save blanchard, play traditional jazz music. their albums have weird various unknown electronic sounds coming from either a computerized hammond type thing or whatever. pure acoustic music was what the old guys did so well, and what wynton brings to this society in this age. i like all the guys you mentioned. you should check out ron miles. hes amazing

  • Thank you!

  • @boricuajazzz8

    You are so clueless, that your foot is coming out of the back of your head.

    You name some of the pioneers who laid down the top 40 sound of jazz trumpet.

    You are the same guy that hangs on to the Beatles after the world moves on and great musicians build on the legacy of those who have come before.

    Wynton has a gift that is so great, you can't fathom it. The critics panned Coltrane too. May God have mercy on your soul.

  • Miles Davis hated the fakeness. As he once said.

  • During Wynton's early years (80's), when Miles was around to evaluate his playing, I'd say Wynton did play with a lot less expression than nowadays. But since 1991 (when Miles passed away), Wynton's playing has matured quite beautifully-and i think this video can testify to that. If Miles was still around to see this performance, I'd say he'd have much nicer things to say about Wynton.

  • exactly man... Just trying to perfect a sound not  his own.

  • It's a tribute to Armstrong. That's why he's playing that style, because of the idiom and situation. Not because he can't perfect his own sound.

    We gotta get more people listening to his early recordings cause they're unreal and they show his originality and creativity.

  • The tune is :

    Dear old Southland

  • Thank my friend...

  • no one does armstrong like marsalis

  • Hi cutie, how are you? It has been a few weeks since you've stopped by. I have to agree with you. When Wynton plays "Satchmo" you can feel Mr. Armstrong's spirit very near. When Louis Armstrong played the trumpet it was in close proximity to seeing his soul, and that was a beautiful thing.
