Wynton Marsalis - The Very Thought of You (Live)

[pokemon9981]

Soon all will know By Wynton marsalis did he ever make a song with this title created in 1986 with these instruments trumpet drums bass and piano

[TheGigglesG]

nice one!

[greeneyesmexico]

What a great performance of a timeless song. Marsalis is unsurpassed....thanks for uploading.

[fullthrottlereaper]

jazz smooth the soul and let us know that we are all still alive. And that the world will be a better place tomorrow

[erickfutbolk]

this shit is deep for some odd reason it makes me think and realize that some shit in life are dope and that not everything in life has to be negative makes me think about the future what life has to offer me and jus puts my mind at peace relaxs me just a great piece of art love it<3

[longshot855]

art



[Bravo6Whiskey]

Further proof that Wynton Marsalis cannot carry Miles Davis' suitcases. Wynton never got it: No one remembers what Miles said about jazz because no one needs to remember what Miles ever said about jazz. But more people still buy Miles, dead, than listen to or buy anything Wynton plays, alive. Miles is more alive in death than Wynton is, in life. No wonder Columbia cancelled Wynton's contract, listening to his gutless, lame, pathetic reindition here of a jazz classic.

[mwesterholm]

@Bravo6Whiskey No one is going to argue with you that Miles isn't great. But I'm not sure you want to test how great a musician is by how many people buy their records. According to that logic, Kenny G is better than Kenny Garrett.

And ironically, do you remember why Miles left Columbia in '85? That tired fight is 25 years old, man.

[exjazzbassbaz]

wynton is a fabulous player and so are the other members of his family.we are so lucky to have such people.many thanks.

[Sara020598]

Its wonderful

[siegfried406]

I think why Miles Davis a.o. hate Marsalis' playing: it makes them superfluous.

Marsalis includes & overlaps Miles, and Chet, and Dizzy, and so many others... And it pays tribute to Louis, Wild Bill and the like who remembered that it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

It also shows mercilessly where jazz draws the line and where jazziness (jazzrock, fusion & other pervertions or frivolities) begins.

[eloisabreu]

uauau SENSACIONAL 

[rtifishul]

Marcus Roberts remains a thoroughly underrated pianist.

[gracielaradio]

MUY BUENO AMIGA FELICITACIONES Y UN FUERTE ABRAZO ♥♥♥♥

[honeybee7700]

he is simply the best trumpeter alive today. I just saw him last week with the lincoln centre orchestra and was moved to tears I was so amazed.

[magajazzfan]

@honeybee7700 Hellooooo Honey! I love your comment and this video! Favorite on my channel

Maga-Lee:-))

[honeybee7700]

@magajazzfan wonderful sweetheart! enjoy your day my dear<3

[mscarolannstaples]

Yes... Marcus on piano...

[niniorastakl2]

que maravilla



[JokersSmile82]

thats accually the best tone that i heard him play, usually its very airey and stuff

[winsome1235]

I've seen him live more than once and I would say that his music is like a long slow caress. Anyone who says he lacks soul is over analyzing his music.

[beverlypress]

cool..

[Marciab84]

Absolutely amazing!...I loved!

Congratulations******

[magajazzfan]

@Marciab84 Saudades de vc, Menina de Sampa. Eu amo esse videos

BJUSSSS,

Maga-Lee :-))

[babs60645]

I believe that is Marcus Roberts on piano, Reginald Veal on bass, and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums, if I'm not mistaken.

[therealdanyail]

@babs60645 actually I think this is herlin riley on drums. he played a lot with wynton and he is absolutely great !

[oaklandtobangkok]

I love him on his Bach.

[toddbaer]

@oaklandtobangkok sounds pretty good on the early Monette he's playing in this video also!

[Robarmrocks]

the 3 dislikes were sinister hobo's from mars...

[XairguitarstarX]

why exactly was this on the son of dork play list can i just ask!?

[crypto683]

I'm not the jazz person, but I love this guy, and how could someone dislike this?

[KishoAudioVisual]

Jazz ? YES and more you play more i love it ... Classical ? NOP ... it's just different vibe ... not your "thing" ... it's same as when Andre Previn was trying to play Jazz .

[kgoerbig]

He sounds totally different on a bach

[CamiloTrumpeter]

Love Wynton Jazz!

[xpressivist]

ahhh...music! whoever says that thought/mind is just an illusion or just a stance/disposition doesn't know how musical creativity is possible given the limited sensory inputs that we have and the finiteness of our existence. thank you for the music.

[reshehkohan]

Oh, this really reflects The very thought of you! Lovely!

[TVComedyClassic]

this was on VH1? really?

[philippang07]

Exceptional.... thank you for posting this. Reminds me of Miles' tone....

[ogkeedah]

Class, Style, Intelligence, Soul, and more. Wynton Marsalis is SUPERB and TIMELESS. Thank you for posting

[screamingmike1000]

what kind of monette mouthpiece is that

[surrendermonkeys]

amazing!

[billyguns2]

WHo are the other wonderful musicians here? How I detest the "star" system!

[WesMetheny]

2 people apparently have no taste. Wynton...that man is the TRUTH.

[munashe400]

what instrument is he playing on

[Gozaburo1]

Monette mouthpiece! funny how he went from no monette equipment, to a mouthpiece then to the whole monette trumpet(s).

[davemar77]

One of the great trumpet players!

[gabymoyano2203]

Wowowow !!!! Wynton is Adorable, Awesome !!! I can to apreciate this Big Jazz Pianist .... And ever, ever will be in the soul of all the public with taste...

Thank you, boricuajazz.... lol

[olivierbarjot]

Let's not forget Clifford Brown....

[JazzPoetic65]

Are you a trumpet player also?

[afar]

Not only is this song and this artist highly audibly pleasing, but his clip is perfectly visually done. Artistry all around.

[SpiderWingz]

one of my favorite renditions of this song... second only to Billy Holliday... but outstanding! Thanks

[MVVARANI]

100% Pure gold

[oaklandtobangkok]

Thank you for posting this.

[gsco82]

Simply beautiful. Wynton is a master of the trumpet. Thanks for posting this.

[yanka65]

yes winton, yes! aaaaaaahhhhh, releif from the world!

[andreidavidcandrianu]

the heart of jazz

[nepalnt21]

he has such a soft, romantic tone like no one ive heard when he wants to, and a staccato that is out of this world. i cant wait till he comes around to my corner of the world.

[MrJazzmattaz]

wyntons tone is so clear and untainted, its just wynton.

[daynelmarzo]

There's not one song Wynton cannot play with perfection...I love Wynton Maralis's playing.

[35Viv]

Sorry fellas, but it's amazing !!! Uau...

[rbsoulcindy]

This is for you ai ren, missing you......xoxoxoxo

[ImBrokeRecords]

Masterfully done!

[tshiboz]

Is Marcus Roberts on piano or I'm dreaming?

[jdmaniac820]

yes i think that's him. he's amazing isn't he?

[HGladiator1]

There is no greatest trumpet player of all time. Wynton is "probably" the greatest of the modern era though. Anyone notice that he seems to have a warmer, fatter tone with this horn than the fancy custom horn he uses now?

[jerec576]

Have you heard of Tom Harrell? If not, look him up- his lines are lyrical like Chet Baker, but melodic like bop. Imho, his artistry rivals that of Miles Davis. you wont find much videos of him though. Send me a message and I will send you a recording/xscript of him and surely you will take note in that.

[womb0womb0]

This was on VH1?? Man... VH1 has strayed far

[bossanova64]

It´s not about who´s better or not,it´s about enjoying this beautiful music called JAZZ......

[ImBrokeRecords]

That's right! I hate it when folks try to make it a 'pissin contest'!!@?**

[pamirs94]

he is exceptionally good. i admit. but Lee Morgan is sometimes better i think...

[winpointmedia]

@frostywhipcream

Wynton has strayed too much from his hard bop roots for me. There are a lot of cats still playing the real s**t. Jazz needed Wynton to move the genre forward not beat us over the head with L Armstrong

[slee331]

no, today more than ever, we need a beating over the head from L Armstrong, and if you can't understand this, which is something that is beyond music, then you aren't listening to what Louis is telling us.

[winpointmedia]

Yea right. I respect and acknowledge Armstong's contibution to jazz but there is a post-Armstrong tradition that is being neglected. An amazing cadre of jazz trumpeters are falling into obscurity. Jazz must be seen as a "living" art form not a an art form written in stone by Armstrong or any other creator.

[13elpoderoso]

dis is so relaxing

[neody14]

is he using some getzen trumpet with a combination of monette mouthpiece??

[TheDanSebastian]

thank you for posting such a beautiful rendition... such beauty relieves any heartache.

[kwalsh00999]

Ths rmnds me of that song "ace of spades" you know by lady gaga. you remember that song??????

[maximayque]

what!

[vpyaj]

Marcus Roberts on piano

[ContactKofi]

Does anyone know the name of the fellow on keys?

[tagelar1]

Marcus Roberts.

[ButtaPeCanRican76]

Ohh I LOVE Jazz !!!!!

[stellacosta10]

@ButtaPeCanRican76 ME TOO!!!!

[trpsami]

thats really amazing...i like it

[wvtrumpet]

Said it before say it again..."Ain't No one out there playing like Wynton" Swing, Emotion, amazing facility on the instrument...the whole package!!!!

[combz159]

is he using a Bflat trumpet??

[Shanopla]

yes

[somedude8403]

What mouthpiece is he using in this video?

[TheBenedict1]

i think its a monette, equavelent to a

1 1/4C

[leoray1234]

People and especially jazz musicians love to criticize Wynton as perfect but souless, but this song is an example of his emotional depth and disproves his critics. He is a treasure and I'm glad he's alive in our time.

[skybo053]

Couldn't have said it better.

[beeshor1]

Well said.

[BrunaoJazzistico]

@leoray1234 perfectly said. We all should be glad he's alive in our time. so many wonderful performances... one of his latest album recorded with Richard Galliano i also suggest. Its wonderful.

[Whatisthescore]

is it just me or does he not know how to tonicize?

[micahj]

:-)

[Arborwaychet]

I have never been a fan ... but this is perfect.

[kingoliver45]

I couldn't help but favorite this!!!

[conman3212000]

Is that marcus roberts on the piano

[boricuajazzz8]

yes!

[conman3212000]

I live in tallahassee and he works at FSU so i have seen him a couple times and met him once he is an amazing jazz pianist. i even got to see wynton when he came to town a few months ago

[boricuajazzz8]

Cool...

[JazzPoetic65]

@boricuajazzz8 Are you a Trumpet player???

[elduro0001]

just another great video....thank you man. Wynton is one of my favorites.

[boricuajazzz8]

Wynton is the best...

[kingoliver45]

I was just gonna say that just before i read yours.

[JazzPoetic65]

@boricuajazzz8 Are you a Trumpet Player???

[KodaRollins]

@boricuajazzz8 agreed

[jonmathis]

I love the video. It's a wonderful melody beautifully phrased. In Gb, no less! Jazz is not a foot race. Don't be worried who is greater or the best. Enjoy the tune!

[boricuajazzz8]

You are right on that. Music is to be enjoyed. Thanks for the comment.

[kingoliver45]

maybe its just me but wynton dosent sound or even play like louis Armstrong. I am probably the biggest louis fan and i listen to him 4 hours a day. maybe its just me though.

[boricuajazzz8]

Finally there is person on youtube that thinks like me. YES! You got a great ear kid. Don't get me wrong Wynton is a outstanding musician, great technical player, but Louis Armstrong he's not. If he would play the trumpet like he did 28-30 years ago well it would be another story. The sound he had when he played with Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers was great, because it was his own sound. But he prefers to me a Louis Armstrong sound chaser or "LASC". Anyway thanks for your opinion. -bye-

[gamma632]

I dig the discussion of Wynton's sound, there have been changes, and he's still one the the greatest players ever (perhaps the greatest classical player). However, it's kinda moot to discuss his sound in this particular video because the audio is of rather poor quality. It's hard to judge when the recording is as bad as this one. these are my thoughts at least

[boricuajazzz8]

First of all Mr. Idiot, I know the video isn't very good. I know i recorded it. But to say he perhaps is the greatest classical player, is to piss on all the other great trumpet players. I have followed the man's professional career for 25 years so I think I know a little bit of what I'm taking about. I see that your only 23 years old and you think you have an opinion? Boy, my mouthpiece is older than you. A great musician NEVER is better than other fellow musicians. Learn, boy.

[stuartmack18]

just wondering... but your saying that wynton marsalis isn't better than a starting out 6th grade trumpet player? and don't get mad please haha i just wanna know since your so wise

[hopediamond4real]

Absolutely divine!!!

[boricuajazzz8]

Very good.

[HateOnYourButt]

I don't understand why people criticize Wynton for changing his sound over the years, and say he is not being original. There is not a trumpet player on this planet who sounds like Wynton, or ever will sound like Wynton, and that's original enough for me. Wynton isn't trying to become Armstrong, he's just going for that similar style. No matter how hard you try, no two musicians will ever sound exactly the same.

[boricuajazzz8]

That's your opinion and I respect it.

[HateOnYourButt]

That's cute.

[JAZZMANICK]

This sounds like heaven!

[boricuajazzz8]

I loved his sound back in the day... before the many trumpet and mounthpiece changes...

[davisc1926]

I think sometimes people pay too much attention to the equipment being used and not the feeling of the notes coming out of the instrument. In case you didn't know, Wynton is playing a Monette in this video and he's had very few mouthpiece changes (2 maybe). The appearance of the mouthpiece may have changed, but the size has stayed pretty constant over the years.

[boricuajazzz8]

This may be, but his sound has changed throughout the years. Don't get me wrong he's an excellent musician. The man is a virtuoso. But throughout the years he has always chased the sound of Louis Armstrong. And that's fine. I remember hearing him back in the day, early 80's with Art Blakey. He had a great sound. That's why I enjoy listening to musicians like Woody Shaw, Chet Baker and many others. These legends created new sounds. This is called a sound inventor. That's just my opinion.

[davisc1926]

Ok, I think I know where you're coming from now. I would also add that Wynton is going after much more than Armstrong's 'sound'. Whether people want to admit it or not, but there is a little Pops in all musicians. Armstrong approached improvisation as an art and put his feelings (or soul) into it. He also brought syncopation in soloing, phrasing among other things that had not been done before. I think Wynton has that same sort of respect for jazz music. I agree with what you said.

[boricuajazzz8]

Hi my friend, it's such a pleasure to exchange ideas with intelligent people like yourself. Sometimes people just can't stand opinions other than their own, but you're different. Your opinion is always welcome on my channel.
