Wynton is only speaking from a jazz perspective. Every great master clarinetist of the classical genre plays in tune, but we also all know that its the shitty clarinetists who go into jazz because... you can get away with playing like shit and still be considered good in jazz, not vice versa.
@clairannette Your comment is among the most ignorant I have ever read on youtube and I think it comes from your obvious lack of depth and understanding as a musician, as evidencd by your rather inexperienced playing. Young man, I'm certain those blockheaded generalizations go over big next to the Pepsi machine at the community college or with the hippie girlfriend who thinks your smooth commentaries are sexy. But in the real world, it's the best way to get your butt laughed at. Now go practice.
@thsmithaudition "Ignorant"? "Inexperienced playing"? "lack of depth"? "lack of understanding as a musician"? "blockheaded generalizations"? Right. No. Wrong. If you'd like to troll, you might try your hand for a day on 4chan. However, it might do you a bit of good to do your homework and actually realize whom you are addressing before resorting to such mundane commentary. 't Is not I who requires the practice. Wynton is wrong & clearly hangs around too many shitty clarinetists.
@thsmithaudition Furthermore, your assessment of my level of depth or experience as a musician is outright laughable, not only to me, but to the wealth of persons who are well acquainted with me as a performer, both domestically and internationally. The only thing obvious here is your own short sightedness as is evidenced by the retardedness of your remarks. And I've heard your work. You sound like shit and need to get some damn lipo on those 8 chins of yours.
@clairannette I honestly think that it is the saddest thing in the world that you have to make two entire paragraphs to make fun of someone. Just say what you want and then be done with it. Like if you are wanting to make fun of a percussionist, all you have to say is "You don't have any musical talent, I can do the same thing as you can with my trash can."
@clairannette hahaha what a fool you've made of yourself. thsmithaudition is member of the Jazz Education Hall of Fame, one of the greatest music historians of his generation, one of Count Basie's fav trombonists and former conductor for Clark Terry. He was also a regular conductor for the Bucharest Phil. He has forgotten more about music than a silly little punk like you would ever know. You should be honored that Tom even took the time to make fun of you. God, what an idiot. Amazing arrogance.
@clairannette No I'm too busy making a living as a musician to be mad. If you learn to shut up long enough to get an actual gig of your own and stop making yourself a target for no other reason than to show your ass, then I'm betting you can be happy too. I agree with msmithjazz. The funniest part of this deal is your lack of reading comprehension. You took Wynton's idiot troll bait and attacked all jazz clarinetists. That's why people are making light of you and deservedly so.
@slamdunk9 Looks like you took plenty of my bait, but... like I said, you're too clouded by your own arrogance and delusions of grandeur to know the difference. Bask away, my friend.
@clairannette Well buddy, we've enjoyed getting to know you but we have to go back to our lives. So you keep screaming at the moon on youtube. Tbh I don't think you read anything we just posted about your issue being about slamming the entire genre of jazz clarinetists and not Wynton per se. Maybe it's dyslexia or something. Whew the bitterness you're showing is pretty depressing. Bye, bye...Maybe we'll see each other again when you're playing the Mozart at some subway. lol
@clairannette I laughed my butt off when I read this part. "Your assessment of blah blah blah is outright laughable, not only to me, but to the wealth of persons who are well acquainted with me as a performer, both domestically and internationally."
And you are again? Oh yeah, youtube guy.
Hey if you don't have thick enough skin best not initiate negative stuff. You after all had it coming when you slapped an entire genre ignorantly. Just trust me that you're waaaayyyy over your head here.
@MSmithjazz HAHAHAHAA... Riiiiight. I love the ridiculousness of you people. This typically American "you ain't shit" attitude, clouded by delusions of your own arrogance. If you had a clue, you might would realize that my work extends far beyond "youtube", and I'm not here attempting to pull rank. I make no apologies for calling bullshit on Wynton's remark that all clarinetists are out of tune and, thus, are allegedly "jealous". LOL. Nonsense.
@clairannette Hey advice to live by slick. You don't think T. Smith's aren't that a million times over? If you had a clue you'd see he wasn't slamming your opinion of Wynton but your BS regarding ALL jazz clarinetists. Learn to read man. Besides, aren't you the guy who be his own admission has blown like 30 symphony auditions and blames it on everything but himself? Maybe you ought to get off youtube and figure that out seeing as how you're arguing with guys who have regular playing jobs. Cool?
@MSmithjazz Bahahahahaa, no, I'm the guy who has won a myriad of top prizes in international soloist competitions and therefore maintains a growingly successful, teaching, performing, touring and recording career. I'm holding mine down just fine. But thanks for the laugh playing daddy defense. Never blamed anyone for my orchestral audition failures but me; and had you read far enough - and you clearly didn't - I never played a single note for most of those organizations listed.
As a trombonist of 40 yrs and past leader of 58 big bands, I've always run with a functioning tuner because we were always the first blamed for poor intonation. But 99.9% of the time I found the perpetrator was a trumpet aka the lazy button pusher. I've never known anyone jealous of a trumpeter. But we have had to learn that they believe themselves entitled while the rest of the world laughs at their subculture. As for this guy...I saw him around NO when he was a kid. As delusional then as now.
@thsmithaudition I'm a little confused - is he saying the trumpet itself will play bang in tune with a good player. Therfore a trumpet out of tune is down to the fault of the player. I would have thought the instrument (make mouthpeice etc) would play its part in intonation - it certainly does wiith saxophones.
The trumpet is not perftectly in tune. There are notes that are out of tune on ALL trumpets. Low D is always sharp, that's what the third valve slide is all about. Note A right above the staff is always sharp, that's why many trumpets have a saddle or a trigger on the first valve slide. There other notes that are slightly out. I don't know if this video was made as a joke, that this is taken out of context or what,
@HorustheAvenger If you notice, he's talking about "the trumpet" not himself, all trumpet's need to be humored to sound in tune. It's the nature of the beast. Anyone who would disagree with that are probably trumpet players that are not familiar with this natural fact and who play out of tune and don't know it.
@lanco001 This is not true for guys with really developed and proper chops. If you want examples look at Mendez play, Wynton (though he does use slides for the lower key trumpets), a really good example is Bud Herseth, look at his Mahler 5, doesn't use any tuning slides on C#. I play trumpet, don't need to use slides and yes, it's in tune. Reality is the trumpet is a piece of plumbing, you need to sort of lip each note.
He's right about woodwind players complaining about trumpet players. But, as a clarinet player with lots of experience in wind orchestras, I'd say he's a bit biased and incorrect in his assessment of clarinet players and their tuning. A reasonably good intermediate clarinet player with a good quality clarinet can play in tune. It does require a bit of work though, especially when playing the high pitched notes.
Why is this guy always workin' with such a weird southern drawl. Nobody else in his family sounds like that. I guess it must be part of telling the truth.
...It is one of the "down sides" of DIGITAL video & sound reproduction...if any inconsistent connections ect this pic & crappy "watery" sounds follow.
If he could play the trumpet with as much energy that he gives to his vocal cords, he never would have had his recording contract cancelled by Columbia. Didn't mention that, did you Wynton, o my, the savior of "pure jazz" got kicked to the curb by Columbia because he couldn't sell enough albums to justify his 100K retainer. Lost the 100K retainer and lost the contract. Loser.
@Bravo6Whiskey man...you're either jealous or simply angry. Either way, show us your contract with Columbia or any contract for any jazz musician today ;)
@Bravo6Whiskey Well hmm ever thought that maybe he didn't sell those records because people are just too damn cheap or not interested. it's not like the very little people that actually enjoy jazz will go out and blow 100k he's an amazing player. he tells the truth get over it.
The only instrument that is always in tune is the guitar. If the strings are a little flat, just bend the strings a little till you have the time to simply raise the tuners.
@Easleytee Schoenberg didn't make music that sounded good. He made music that was mathematically determined. If you made any number of random persons listen to Schoenberg, they would almost all dislike it violently. Atonal and 12 tone music was not created for people to listen to and enjoy. So you can go on and talk about how Wynton denigrated him, but the fact is that most people agree. Furthermore, being discriminant in musical taste is NOT the same as "artistic myopia."
@TheRaptorfiend Right on. Most "gimmick" music elicits that reaction ("Let's compose with dice, let's compose with the I-Ching, etc. ad nauseum). It typically attracts frustrated, arty types who want to differentiate themselves from "the masses" and feel intellectually superior. I know because I used to be like that until I realized that Bach and company are indisputable musical giants.
Actually, no instrument is in tune if it is designed to play any Western genre of music because the scale itself is out of tune by design... that's why pianos have to be tuned "out of tune" to play (relatively) in tune. I'm not sure about other scales (whole-tone etc.) But in any case, he's using humor to get a point across... he undoubtedly knows about the vagaries of the musical scale(s)... he's just trying to get the players to be aware of each other and listen to each other as they play.
@rlholo Any instrument that does not have fixed pitches can be perfectly in tune in any system. Trombones, strings can tune to any temperament. Clarinets have quite a bit of flexibility as they are capable of glissandos. Trumpets haave lots of possibilities with alternate fingerings and slide movements, saxes have many alternate fingerings too. Pianos, well ,they're hopeless.
lol wow The only pompous comments on this vid are from trumpet players. Why don't we ask Branford what he would have to say in response to this? Ya see, saxophone players don't need to boast because it is just implied that we are so much more above brass players. We don't need to play loud/ shove or blast people out of our way in order to be noticed. We can just be and that is great by itself. You all enjoy your squawk fest. Have fun! lmao that's just ridiculous. Trumpets play out of tune too.
I play clarinet, and i always help tune with the instructor for the rest of the class...all my other friends who play clarinet are usually out of tune though :P...but i agree with about everything he says....but i certainly ain't jealous! XD
"You never see a woodwind player not licking on a reed or playing around or fooling with it and complaining about brass players playing too loud." Oh, that's priceless! That never gets old. Where did clip come from?
lol the trumpet is only always in tune if that damn slide is pulled out... and the d's and c sharps are never in tune unless u pull it out... this guy is a god though, so im gonna listen to what he says hahaha
"...and in rare instances, we go ahead and invite our big cousin, the tuba." Rare instances like Marcus Rojas, Dave Bargeron, John Sass, and other tuba dudes and gals who can swing.
Wynton Marsalis - You are so full of Shit. Someone call the Milk of Magnesia Lady we've got a catastophic fecal situation goin' down here. Evacuate the area around Lincoln Center.
well, well, well....to tell the truth, it´s rather the other way round... playing woodwinds, even when not done with skill, never ever sounds like farting...
can you take any instrument completely seriously, whose sound is created by imitating fart-sounds? ;)
And that bloody loudness: with sax you can play both soft and loud, with trpt it´s just loud.
AGREED !!! I've been preaching this for years, ever since it became clear ... trumpets do all the work and saxes get all the credit. Amen Wynton , amen!
@upt123 How can the saxes get all the credit when nobody can hear them because the trumpets are too loud? My trumpet player doesn't even use a mic and everyone says he's still too loud! When we're in the studio he has to play waaaaaayyyy off the mic. The engineer says "no even further back, more, more, go outside and play"
I don't think Wynton ment anything mean at all to players of woodwind instruments. I think its just a joke. This guy has an appreciation for everything musical.
Please somebody could write all that he says. I have trouble understanding everithing, but if i see it wrote. I will understand. i know its long but please!!
The horns are separated into two families, the noble brass, and woodwinds.
Now brass intruments are all made of metal, and can be played very powerfully.
The woodwind instruments, with the exception of the clarinet, are also made of metal, but their sound is produced by blowing on wooden reeds.
Now you never see a woodwind player not licking on a reed or playing around and fooling with it, and complaining about brass players playing too loud.
Now lets not forget about the clarinet, they're always out of tune, and the clarinet accompanies the trumpet from above, in the higher register.
The only instrument that's always in tune, is the trumpet, let's not forget that, it's very important to realise. That's why they're all jealous of us.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The trumpet is only in tune if it's player adjusts accordingly with the slide or lips. just like every other instrument discluding the piano, it's not always in tune. and show some love for the sax family. an instrument designed to give the soul and color to all other sounds, and imitate "the most gorgeous sound" - the human voice.
I FUCKING MET WYNTON MARSALIS AND I PLAY THE TRUMPET TOO!!!!!! he told me to keep playing the trumpet and that one day i might become famous if i practice. And now i practice a ton!

I play clarinet, and I agree with everything he said.
Except for the jealous part, I'm happy to be a woodwind player who plays the out-of-tune-"you're-just-copying-the-trumpet,-poser" melody. :)

stan2211stan 1 year ago
well, well, well....to tell the truth, it´s rather the other way round... playing woodwinds, even when not done with skill, never ever sounds like farting...
can you take any instrument completely seriously, whose sound is created by imitating fart-sounds? ;)
And that bloody loudness: with sax you can play both soft and loud, with trpt it´s just loud.

@upt123 How can the saxes get all the credit when nobody can hear them because the trumpets are too loud? My trumpet player doesn't even use a mic and everyone says he's still too loud! When we're in the studio he has to play waaaaaayyyy off the mic. The engineer says "no even further back, more, more, go outside and play"

The horns are separated into two families, the noble brass, and woodwinds.
Now brass intruments are all made of metal, and can be played very powerfully.
The woodwind instruments, with the exception of the clarinet, are also made of metal, but their sound is produced by blowing on wooden reeds.
Now you never see a woodwind player not licking on a reed or playing around and fooling with it, and complaining about brass players playing too loud.

@gusgus80
Now is the opportunity for us to tell them for once and for all: 'Too bad'.
Now the brass family in a big band includes the trumpets and the trombones, and in rare instances we go ahead and invite our big cousin: the tuba.
The woodwinds, the woodwinds are comprised of three types of saxophones and the clarinets, sometimes the flute is even thrown in there for good luck.

@gusgus80
Now lets not forget about the clarinet, they're always out of tune, and the clarinet accompanies the trumpet from above, in the higher register.
The only instrument that's always in tune, is the trumpet, let's not forget that, it's very important to realise. That's why they're all jealous of us.

The trumpet is only in tune if it's player adjusts accordingly with the slide or lips. just like every other instrument discluding the piano, it's not always in tune. and show some love for the sax family. an instrument designed to give the soul and color to all other sounds, and imitate "the most gorgeous sound" - the human voice.
XxxTheRealRileyxxX 1 year ago
1)Piano can be out of tune
2)He is a trumpet player! At least he acknowledged the saxophone!
3) Saxes are meant to add a little spice, not "give the soul and color to all other sounds".
4) Trumpets sound better than "The most gorgeous sound".
