Jazz Trumpet - Dizzy Gillespie - Jon Faddis Sextet 77

[lulimjustsayin]

I'd like to take this time to recognize the swingin' bass player back there, holdin' it all together.

[dbaker1972]

The pianist is the great Monty Alexander, back in the fro days!

[mvff3n]

jon came to our school the other day he played with our band it was awsome.

[191144y]

I'm gettin' Happy the more I see & listen to this smokin' video. WOW! WOW! WOW!

I can't see the drummer. But I don't care I can hear him cookin!. Ray Brown on that bass keepin it together. Milt is so cool. Monty look out! Diz, Jon, my goodness!!!!

[Luxardo27]

Jon played in Victoria B.C. Canada about 20 years; he was the best trumpet player I have ever seen/heard in person. (Louis Armstrong played here in the 1960's but I guess it's not fair to compare, cuz Louis was pretty old.) Back to Jon: A guy in the audience was smoking, and Jon said he couldn't play if there was smoke. But the guy kept on smoking. So Jon stopped playing. Stand off. Jon won. But in the break, the young smoker brought his horn over to Jon, who gave him a lesson.

[trestresbrel]

are chords bridge :f7 eb7 db7 c7 ?

[shastabob123]

ok uhm did they like make that trumpet specially for him? like maybe for the way he holds his instrument????

im a young musician and i have never ever seen a trumpet like that. so i would appreciate it if someone could answer nicely :]

[RobinsonWith]

It's based off of Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet, he liked the way the bent horn sounded. check out Dizzy Man, he invented this style of playing.

[ChicagoDannyD]

The bent trumpet is Dizzy's signature trademark. It does have one advantage in that the microphone can be set at a height for singing, which Dizzy did, and for trumpet solos, the mic does not have to be adjusted downward as would be the case for a straight trumpet.

[nb734]

The horn ended up being developed due to an accident as either someone fell on it bending the horn bell up or diz dropped it. honestly don't know which one but diz had to play on it and thought that he could hear himself better, so he then had martin commitee design him a horn with the bent bell.

[broadcastyamum]

a drummer kicked if off the stage

[eastonboarder]

i honestly don't think that it was an accident, if it was bent by accident, the line would be bent so badly that air wouldn't be able to go through, resulting in horrible/no sound whatsoever

[nb734]

it was initially an accident and he had no other horn to play on that night, so he bent the best he could to make the air flow through. it has been documented that it happened like that, ive seen it in a couple documentaries.

[Bestaboy7]

he bent it doing something but kept it 4 its unique sound

[rtel123]

from Wikipedia: "According to Gillespie's autobiography, this was originally the result of accidental damage caused during a job on January 6, 1953, but the constriction caused by the bending altered the tone of the instrument, and Gillespie liked the effect. By June, 1954, Gillespie was using a professionally manufactured horn of this design"

[HADJEE]

Holy Shit! That piano man was cookin'!

[broadcastyamum]

is jon faddis playing one of dizzy's trumpets??!

[evosynth]

sip la empresa king hace las replicas de las trompetas que usaba dizzy =D

[ncodrington]

is that monty alexander on piano? great vid, classic! nobodys solo was better that the other lol. every1 was outstanding! u go dizzy and faddis!

[pianoman115]

that's monty alexander on piano... and yes... they're all great!

[emathebrave]

crikey thats amazing

[eldwinwong]

i still wonder how dizzy fits his trumpet into a case....if there was a case in that shape it must be werid..

[mrbpconnelly]

This was not even Diz's regular rhythem section. the rest of his band was sent to Paris on the wring flight and the night before they went on they asked if anyone was available and look what they got. You probably couldn't put together a better band if you tried.

[joebandana]

what about like Charlie Parker, Bud Powell Clifford Brown and uhh Max Roach and Ray too that would be awesome a band aswell

[scoggles]

Well, except for Max Roach, they were all dead at the time...

[lilmanslim58]

AGAIN I SAY DIZZY AND jON WERE THE BEST TRUMPET PLAYERS WELL AND LOUIS Armstrong but they still were unstoppable in those jazz club's but they were so cool and high on those trumpets i mean like they played high which was kool;DIZZY AND JON UNSTOPPABLE THEN AND NOW STILL=}

[apqf]

Monty Alexander no piano. Maravilhoso!!!

[lilmanslim58]

this video is the greatest ever, i mean jon and dizzy were and still are unstoppable when it comes to playing the trumpet i mean this beat and rythm is like back in the day they said jazzy and still is jazzy.

[jazzmanny5555]

its nice

[BrunoVonLimpnoodle]

Horrible crap. What a waste of time!!!

TheRealBrew4You

[mattd123456]

hahahah nice

[mustswingitbaby]

i am sorry. i didn't mean slow... i meant low to the keybord

[mustswingitbaby]

back to the cooment 3 months ago... that mallet players technique is suppose to be like that... u always want the mallets slow to the keyboard and it gives the keyboard player that funky look

[ion507]

so great wow

[PUIncubus]

i believe jon faddis to be one of the most under rated trumpet players ever

[rtel123]

Nothing in the credits for the brilliant pianist.

Isn't that the great Monty Alexander?

[bixntram]

Fantastic! Yes, that was Monty, and the great Milt "Bags" Jackon on vibes and Ray Brown on bass; didn't see who the drummer was. Yeah, that was "Get Happy." Love the way Dizzy just ate up the changes; John Faddis, too. Man, what a rhythm section! This cooked all the way.

[mindsoar]

The drummer was Jimmie Smith.

[leichtbruno]

This is really swingin' with boppish humor!

[crazyperson8761]

Great

[Monkeylobber111]

Milt jackson is incredible and so is Faddis. And on the song "Get Happy". just love this video

[mikemckv]

I'm gone. I'm solid gone.

[MarineBugler]

Kurt Elling? .. Is that you?

[CJ81]

great stuff. I think I will get the original Pablo album release instead of the DVD though. I have many of those Montreux '77 albums on CD which is long before they came out on DVD.

[Jhendia]

montreux '77 was good, I was in montreux '07 ;P too bad the festival's slipping, not as good as it used to be

[cdubmusic1]

This makes want to switch back to my shilke.

[daveoztrumpet]

It's actually a vibraphone (it has metal keys, unlike a marimba or xylophone that have wooden ones). Check out Gary Burton or Lionel Hampton if you like it.

[PizzaPirate]

i think its called a marimba

[HoboBob1]

Wow that mallet player has some funky technique

[veretout]

C'est un monument de swing et d'inventivité! Diz et Baggs sont encore là !

[willyvallez]

enorme!

[Franwhisker]

Dizzy's apostle has learnt his trade well. Amazing, another wonderful video.
