[castlehilldude]

Awesome Musicians!!

[thirdherdorchestra]

Very proud that I experienced this in the audience held near from home at the age of 17 ... So many thanks for calling my memory!

[jazzeradachimaria]

WOW!!!! GREAT!!!!

[ToweringInfernoOrch]

I really appreciate that he is playing a cornet! I beautiful instrument that was king in the eaely days of jazz but all too seldom seen now. I am trying to figure out what make of cornet it is....

[mryoko3]

ジーン・チェリコのベースもさすが。

[0416hanaka]

サイコー



[jjcantu86]

I love how Japanese people are usually very supporting of hearing live music. Friends told me that when they performed there, the people were very interactive and really got into what was going on even if some didn't totally understand it. It's just cool to see support for music like this =.)

[ytbmasterx7]

あらためて秋吉さんが、当時の最高の技術と素晴らしいグルーブ感­を持った稀有のピアニストであることに驚嘆いたしました。

[poco70s]

A lot of sounds besides the ringing sound lurk, it is creaky, and covers my brain over and over again like the wave. What time is it now?Where?What country is it?Who are you?The sound that they play is nothing but JAZZ.

[len344]

Jazz is totally not mainstream in this country. With due respect to rap and hip hop I can only say that last week driving in florida I stopped at a light and was bombarded by loud FU bi**h and suck my d**k lyrics coming from a car with two young white girls. If this is the unparalleled genre I'm missing out on I guess I'll just have to suffer.

The point is that Jazz remains very popular in Europe and Japan and I respect those people for their love of such great music.

[Djavidus]

America was not the inventor of the jazz. The real one was Jelly Roll Morton.

- Jelly Roll Morton

[greati9]

Jelly Roll, seriously

[GassyMaskz]

Jelly Roll is a kind of joke in that there are very few ways for him to overstated his importance but he still found a way to do it.

[vivalasteven5]

plaus if not for AMERICA making jazz music like rock n roll, rap and all of the shit the japs listen to would not be here. jazz inspired so many types of music its unbelivible

[mrbird00]

do not call japanese japs, albino.

[anarconcho]

Great stuff!

I wish americans could be more exicted about jazz like the japanese.

[okonh0wp]

um, excuse me, we invented jazz. we might not have a lot of original inventions of our own as americans but we do own jazz and we have the best jazz trumpeters here, still. go to new orleans or st. louis and you'll see it.

[anarconcho]

Yes I know that. But i just wish americans we're still into it as they were before. Sadly most of them would rather hear something like Lil Waynes "A Milli" than a great preformance of "Staright No Chaser"

[len344]

I've got to agree anar, Americans today don't give a crap about great music like this. I'm in my 60's and I feel like an infant when I go to a jazz event everyone is in their 70's and 80's. Not so in Japan, Europe and even Canada. Recently in Toronto I went to club that was packed with college age kids listening to and playing straight ahead jazz. Good luck finding that in the USA.

[somedude8403]

Well, their are still some who love so much they and sleep it? Cough (me) cough. I'm 24 and i love jazz its crazy. I stopeed plaing my trumpet a few years ago and it was the dumbest thing i did, but this year i started over playing my horn off and on by myself. i love it classical and jazz forever. rap, country, piff boo. By the way peps i'm black too. I would rather listen to jazz then guys rap about her tough their are but they are just impressing other guys to me. kinda gay dont ya think?

[almighty1001]

such a stupid view on rap music... hiphop is an unparalleled genre in the same way jazz is

[somedude8403]

Rap music and hip hop is pretty much the same just one which is rap is more about cars and money and females, the other which is hip hop is more about the mind, body, and soul. Its like saying rap(50 cent) and common (hip Hop). Neither is bad, but i still prefer jazz more

[marche111]

@anarconcho true, true, but i like it the way it is. it's like a hidden gem that only a few of us know about.

[MagicRain505]

Go to new orleans or st. louis? The point that anarconcho is trying to make is that you should be able to go ANYWHERE at here it prospering. Yes, we made it, and we should be ACTING like we made it. Not acting like it's a joke, and promoting demeaning music genre's like rap and mindless "booty music." I'm 16, but that doesn't mean I'm into that stuff. Jazz is the true american language, and, unfortunately, money is more important than life in this society...

[vivalasteven5]

yea i fully agree. we made jazz. i can name hundreds of people that have more heart and soul then this guy not to mention better then him. saying america isnt exicted about jazz is like punching the country in the goddamn face i mean come on.

[steebelmoan]

You made it doesn't mean you're excited about it.

Last I checked Jazz wasn't mainstream in States.

[queekers]

jazz isnt mainstream anywhere anymore

[rurare2k]

WoW~...Mr. Hino...I remember he played once at EBS in Korea. I wonder how he is doing...

I think his air pocket just like a Mr. Dizzy.

I miss his playing. Could you some one let me know where I can see his playing if I fly to Japan?

Spcial thanks to ID named "jazzytaka" for uploading this clip.

[msaeki]

sounds like 80% Miles 20% Hubbard....

[trekkey77]

Perhaps, this clip was recorded 20 years ago, so she was still young.

Thanks a lot!

[murrayrothstein]

When was this recorded? Toshiko doesn't look even close to 80 years old. Amazing! Thank you for sharing this.
