They play so eloquently and divine, Marsalis the Master of Cherokee...I promise you I can scat this whole horn arrangement with my mouth that's how much I listen to it! Who's still listening in 2021?
True on both counts. But am I the only one for whom his fast/complex playing sounds a bit like an annoyed bumble be? Frustrated at searching for melodic originality but never finding it? And going too fast to even notice if he stumbled on it by accident?
This is the greatest trumpet solo I’ve ever heard. Period. And I’ve heard everything. I’ve heard Wynton live multiple times. I’ve talked with him, and can assure you he’s one of the most respectable people on the planet.
Young Wynton routinely criticized other musicians, including Miles, Bill Evans, electric jazz fusion, and anybody who wasn’t conforming to his approved jazz formula of blues, Armstrong and Ellington. Yep he’s a great trumpet player no doubt but he’s impossibly arrogant. I’d rather hear Brownie on this tune.
@@smctrout4423I know how sacrilegious this sounds, but this is subjectively a WAY better solo than Clifford’s. Brownie’s may have been better/more innovative relative to the music of its time, but if you put that aside, I think this one is undeniably better, and I’m just about the biggest Clifford fan ever.
Trumpet playing at it's best. Wynton shows how it's done. Not an easy instrument to play,; let alone master. This, coming from a Jazz pianist of boo coo years.
Early on, I thought Marsalis was a good trumpet. Go listen to him live and it will remove all doubts. His tone and sound are among the best I've ever heard. He's a player. Wycliffe Gordon is to the bone what Marsalis is to the Trumpet. And he sings from the gut like Louis Armstrong. I spent two weeks with him studying jazz and he impressed me like few players. Go listen to him live.
Anyone who knows trumpet playing understands jazz trumpet playing has lacked integrity among 95% of it's players. This guy brought integrity back to the forefront of jazz improvisation on the trumpet.
Hmm. I have heard a few of unknown people or relatively unknown people who uphold the integrity of the instrument. The Condoli Brothers, Jackie Morreale and Don Joseph. Didn't get Wynton when he first came out but he's grown and I love his work.

I see a lot of comments about technicality and don't get me wrong this is breathtakingly impressive (and I have almost no knowledge about how to make a sound and play notes on the trumpet as well as the circular breath), with that said but I reckon a lot of people a also missing the "point" of it all, the sheer musicality and beauty of the song, not focusing only on the technical aspect and "chops" :)
@@magmahawk583 Marsalis is a cascade of notes placed there, played at unthinkable speeds, only to make you exclaim "wow", a pure technicality for its own sake, but Chet, his lyricism, that way of choosing the right note among thousands, only he had it.
Wynton is also maybe the greatest Classical trumpet player, and people seem to overlook that also. He gets much credit of his Jazz but not so much for his Classical
matt knowles he doesn’t play much classical anymore, but when he did, he was arguably the best soloist ever in terms of expression and musicality, not to mention his inhuman technical facility.
Nakariakov is just on another level now in terms of classical imo. Check out the video he did with AR resonance trumpets, it's unlike anything I've ever heard
He doesn't get credit in classical because he is prominent in the jazz world. Up until recently, it was common for professors and adjudicators at solo contest to tell people not to listen to Wynton Marsalis as an example of to play trumpet literature. A lot of conservatories and music schools would kick you out of their programs if you got caught playing in jazz groups.
Don't see the point of comparing Wynton's version of Cherokee with that of the brilliant Clifford Brown or anyone else. It is just different, significantly different. It's his own way, and outstanding in terms of musicality and technique. And it swings like hell.
Okay, that was whack... The fact that W can just rip for pretty much ever and use circular breathing while playing ridiculously fast is just... Well it's whack. Upmost respect for this man.
The $10,000 plus Monette mouthpiece is part of the trumpet custom built for him!!!!Before this, he played a Bach 1 1/2 C mouthpiece and a Bach 72 Stradivarius trumpet. WHEW!
+Sebastian Kirschner It is a Monette. It was one of the two first prototypes of the Monette Raja trumpets that Dave Monette built in about 1989. One was built for Wynton and the other was built for Charlie Schlueter.
I'm not a huge fan of Wynton as a jazz player. I thought he should have gone more into modern classical, done something different with his career other than play straight ahead jazz because he is a little too refined to play jazz the right way, in my humble opinion. However, this right here is awesome. This is when he was a little freer, before he started to go backward in time, into the roots of jazz with dogmatic worship.
@@comparedtowhat2719 I think jazz should be played in an loose manner, with a tugging internal contradiction between an unrefined impulse and its meticulous expression. Wynton seems like a guy whose thoughts are a little too pure for jazz. His brother Branford is a better jazz man because he is more impulsive. Fittingly to this viewl, the consensus among sax players is that Branford can't play classical.
Agree. Dogmatic worship is ok if that’s what you want to do. It’s when you insist that others worship in the same as you or otherwise say they’re not “ playing real jazz” that it’s not so great.
Takes a lot of guts to play Cherokee. There is only one version--and that is the Clifford Brown...everything else is not even in the same Universe. No disrespect intended...but we are keeping it real...
Clifford's Cherokee was a breakthrough for his time, I transcribed the solo years ago, but honestly, Clifford doesn't come close to this. Actually, he might if he heard it, but this is beyond what is on the Clifford Brown/Max Roach album. There are actually a lot of trumpet players out there that can play the shit out of Cherokee, not very many at this level, though.
+Sebastian Kirschner It actually is a Bb trumpet. It's a design by Monette, which is also known for it's iconic Flumpet, a Trumpet-Flugel hybrid. THe trumpet Wynton plays looks like a Monette Raja.
You are here to make Wynton into Cliff? Bless your love for Clifford. Leave HIM to say Wynton isn't doing it right. He wouldn't, by the way. He'd smile with jazz brotherhood.
Not only are you putting words in my mouth but Clifford's as well. So you would read the long-past Clifford's mind? No doubt Clifford was smiling with jazz brotherhood when he said Miles's style was easy to imitate. Perhaps I am putting words in Wynton's mouth when I quote him as saying he wished he could play with Clifford's own joyous exuberance. Spare me. You're no seer, after all.
Seer's faveourite trumpet player is Wynton Marsalis, can anyone guess his faveourite saxophone player? I'll give you a hint, the last name starts with a 'G'!
i feel like marsalis was bad for jazz. he kind of promoted it as something bland and stagnant and the public perception never recovered. not that public perception is something to strive for artistically but i do find him to be boring. he kind of had a monopoly on the jazz institution and kept a lot of the people who were actually fresh and interesting out.
I think if anything he just pigeonheld it into being a historical artifact as opposed to a living thing that can advance and progress (which is inherent and expected when you deal with a genre that explores improvisation as a main aspect). Not to say that jazz doesn't have a place in history, because it definitely does, along with parts of today's media (Family Guy, jazz musicians helping to collaborate with Kendrick, La La Land, etc), but to only explore the historical context of it is missing the point of it. Wynton is my favorite trumpet player, and I'll happily argue the point that he's the greatest jazz trumpeter in the world, if not history.
I'll grant you that he's probably the most technically proficient jazz trumpeter ever, but if technical proficiency were what mattered most in jazz then no one would ever even have heard of Billie Holiday. When I listen to Wynton, that's mostly what I hear, his technical mastery of the instrument, little soul.
He might just be from a different street than you are from. Wave to him and smile. Love him as a man, then go back to your life, which is very cool, too. Do your thing if other things are ugly to you. Or, if you like and learn from ugly, dive in.

Ive watched this many times. Beautiful
