She is the greatest scatter I've heard, and she's just getting started. She has the vocabulary and harmonic awareness of a top level instrumentalist, plus soulful blues, mad swing and best of all, total authenticity.
When I first heard her scat, I thought I was listening to a horn player. I later discovered she is a trumpeter. So it made sense. I would put her among an elite category of female jazz singers who scat. Not to compare her to anyone else, but one cannot overlook Ella Fitzgerald. She remains the queen.
Unfortunate Taylor Swift fans think a sassy Girl, shallow lyrics and average music is all the soul nourishment you need. Enjoy, we've got Veronica thanks.
Ans then there was this: 19 y o bass playing woman 'from another planet' as was commented. ruclips.net/video/bvLheXI21lo/видео.html She kept up with Joel Frahm and everyone at about 300/min for 6:30!
La version de Clifford Brown reste encore parmi l'une des plus mémorables sans rien enlever à Wynton bien évidemment... Véronica est superbement articulée ! Quelle maitrise vocale et imagination! A ce tempo, c'est colossal !!!
I prefer jazz singer Roberta G over Veronica. Roberta has more natural soul and a captivating stage presence. Swift performed at the Detroit Jazz Fest a few years ago and her presence was absolutely boring. We weren’t all that impressed. She comes off as a singer who copies and lives in the shadow of the greats instead of carving out her own innovative identity. Detroit knows music and know when an artist is not....
Cherokee and After You've Gone are eternally swinging tunes...I never get tired of either and this rendition KILLS!!! Madame Swift ROCKED an already ROCKED ROOM!!! THEY ALL PLAYED!!!
Just saw her live tonight sining a couple tunes in a Chris Botti show. Commanding. He had a legit male opera singer on right before her and I was like that’s gonna be tough to top but man her control on every little note is entrancing. She played Botti’s trumpet too a little lol. Phenomenal seeing such talented people focus their skills into jazz.
What a phenomenal band. i've listened to this performance for over 20 times now probably, and every time i appreciate it just a bit more. i love jazz and these cats have the pure essence of jazz.
Surely Swift is the best Jazz scatter of our time. Not only the wealth of ideas, but also her pure singing technique is excellent! - Veronica Swift should be at the top of the jazzsinger charts - and not Krall or Gardot.
MERCI ❤️ QUELLE PRESTATION MAGISTRALE💜 GRATITUDE MONSIEUR MARSALIS pour les bonheurs musicaux que vous nous avez donné 🌹 ET VIVE LE FESTIVAL JAZZ IN MARCIAC☀️🙏
Outstanding solo by Veronica and love Walter Blanding and Dan Nimmer's solos as well. Also love how Walter was really listening to and digging his band member's solos.
This could have been two hours long and I would still be sitting here...first of all Cherokee is my favorite Bop song and second of all THEY PLAYED THEIR FACES OFF!!!
So hip I meant to say Red Garland. Wynton has taken over the mantle of Art Blakey. 🤗🤗 love him for that. Bringing young jazz musicians to the fore and mentoring them. His dad Ellis is resting in peace God bless his soul with the knowledge that his son is carrying on his legacy Branford as well and Jason
My jaw was open all the way. Incredible performance the whole 11 minutes trough. Also, everyone's enjoying themselves and you can actually feel it when you watch this video. So powerful and energetic. I love it !
Veronica, please keep doing what you're good at and what feels right. No need to be like CMS. She can do things that you can't, but you can do things that she can't. No one else on this planet can scat with your horn-like harmonic, melodic and rhythmic inventiveness. Do what you're good at and what feels right, whether that be opera, goth rock or country. (As if she would ever read this lol).
@@RocketCalcutta Cecile McLorin Salvant. She's great, but in a different way than Veronica. Cecile doesn't scat and outline chords, but she has a more resonant and dynamic voice than Veronica. Cecile often sings with an amazing pianist named Sullivan Fortner. Check out her album titled Ghost Song. This concert is great: ruclips.net/video/kiPJjYTMYKk/видео.html
Oh Veronica Swift PLAYED TOO! She was flawless. She honored Vaughan & Ella just being her natural self. They peeked out every now and then but it was all her. Priceless.
Veronica swift étonnante! Elle mériterait d’être plus connue que M Gardot par exemple !! Dan Nimmer super Winton n’en parlons pas !! Ce groupe est terrible
ok ! ça change un peu de toutes ces pseudo chanteuses de jazz aphones ! c'est ce que j'ai entendu de mieux depuis Jane Monheit la référence ultime pour moi étant ella fitzgerald et sarah vaughan.
Wynton, I remember you when you were young and playing with Art Blakey in Montreal In the eighties. What I remember,ber so clearly and felt was the joyfull energy between you Art and the other musicians, it by was truly a moment in my life I shall never forget The place was The Rising Sun and you were all great and memorable❤️🇨🇦
Oh my G-d I haven't seen anything like this anywhere! She lit JALCO on FIRE! What a voice, what a super talent and what magnificent singing!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!
The oldtimers faces 😂 watching her go off like she's posessed by Anita's ghost and been doin it for 30 years 🔥Nuts. Some of my music students are enamored with the wave of cocktail singers like Laufey et al. Can't wait to see their reaction when I show them the actual real deal.
What a sextet! Unbelievable performance. Inspired by the music, the cats inspire each other entering beyond known territory. And once again Marciac is the facilitator. Thanks for sharing.
I consider my self to be a really good jazz drummer and have played with some big folks but this drummer swings his butt off and the Piano player is absolutely smokin. Same for the upright player. Wynton is always excellent so I expect from him but wow the whole group is just so right on..!
Excellent version by the singer Veronica Swift with brilliant scat-song and the Winton Marsalis Band ! A wonderful performance of the wonderful evergreen song CHEROKEE !!
I try not to comment every time I watch this but this is just perfection...after all that jamming here comes Swift with the Scat verse of LIFE!!! This is the best 11 minutes 11 seconds my ears have ever opened themselves up to!!!
They really moved their as..ses :) ; you know, French audience takes for granted American Jazz players, and in particular American Black Jazz Players are going to be something really special, but unluckily sometims the miracle doesn't happen and there is not so much swear on the stage floor. But here it's pure honest energetical and inventive music ! Great !
She kinda blew them off the stage not just because of her phenomenal scatting but also because of that incredible, beauteous purity of tone. One of the greats. We can hear that.
What’s with all the animosity and hate & jealousy!!!? They’re all swingin and playing in the tradition of jazz with a heavy creative momentum! Just because they make it sound easy doesn’t mean it is

🎉
and the face of the bassist when she sings the bassline ^^
504 people obviously have never heard Ella Fitzgerald…sad.
She had the right music education
Both parents are musicians ( pros)
The right enrichment
And ofcourse, she practice the right way
Scatting Cherokee while Wynton Marsalis stares at you from 2 feet away....difficulty level x100,000,000
For Wynton, of course :) :) :) (Look as he smiles while she scats ) :)
I had to scat impromptu on stage with Wynton Marsalis once, can confirm difficulty level one hundred percent
...and she nails it!
Yep.
@@neekonsaadat2532 wow you're lucky!
Finally, finally we have a JAZZ singer. Amazing. I hope Ella is listening to this from heaven.
Ella is looking down with pride ☺️
@@JPGtampa shes dead , dont be silly
@@kipperkop Quality comment right there, Brian.
@@JPGtampa damn bro you didn’t have to murder him
who is ella
Veronica Swift has more bebop language than most horn players, and she's a SINGER. Insanely good
i couldn't agree more
With pitch to match.
Lord Have Mercy!
Absolutely!
She's awesome. Seen her live like 5-6 times. Stellar EVERY time!!! Highly recommended!!!
This Swift deserves a legion of her own Swifties. Insane talent.
Unfortunate Taylor Swift fans think a sassy Girl, shallow lyrics and average music is all the soul nourishment you need. Enjoy, we've got Veronica thanks.
Love this comment. No doubt this is the SWIFT I dig. Taylor isn't even in the same universe.
The double bass player is the real GOAT here
Finally some recognition
Veronica makes arrangement beyond terrific!! Her scat vocals duplicate the instruments! I think she is the best scat vocalist since the 1940s.
Annie Ross was stunning too :)
most bold of her to do 'bitter earth' placing herself amongst the pantheon of the greats before her. well done!
for a second i felt like i was in 1930s
Thank you George Collier for let me be here!! Amazing music #georgecollier #jazz
Me too!
Same here
same here. This music, wow.
Love how Walter used Wynton’s last phrase as a recurring theme through his first chorus.
Seriously. Love when soloist play off eachother like that!
thats what jazz is!!!!
Yes, brad! The best way to add coherence to a solo - largely forgotten in most jazz improvisation.
Rowan Atkinson did an amazing job on the piano!
😂😂😂😂😂
Was thinking the same thing!
Don’t do Dan like that
Dan Nimmer on the piano!
@@michaelbruchas6663 ;-)
The entry to that scat literally took my breath away. SWOON!!!
I get goosebumps 😍
SAME
Took hers too, she had surprisingly good sounding almost artistic pauses between phrases so she could breathe.
The number of times I has to rewind 🎉
When she said "spibiby dap" I felt that
It's like a signature!
6:42
@@cjgreen4331 god bless
It's "speeded it up"
Incredible bass playing...playing that amount of choruses on that big bass fiddle at that tempo is no joke!

@@alanlevin3003 that's extremely impressive as well!
Haha
This is nothing...
@@Zxx459it ain’t nothing
I just found out about her this morning, and now I can't stop watching all her RUclips vids. Absolutely jaw-dropping jazz talent.
Same here.
Same here!
same here!
Double bass players don’t get enough credit, basically a second heartbeat of the song after the drums
I love seeing how the saxophonist looks at him with deep respect "asking" to go or to wait a little bit.
one of the best renditions on this tune, everyone absolutely killed it but really loved walters sax solo, so tasteful
Holy cow, that vocalist killed it
Yes, Veronica Swift is taking the jazz world by a storm
She’s amazing! I got introduced to her through a song she did called social call
Ive gotten the opportunity to hang out with her at some jazz festivals. She's a gem of a human being!
@@kadegainey5123 yes! that song is so good. Veronica and Benny Bennack III absolutely smashed it. one of my all time favourites now :) 💕
Just came across Veronica Swift for the first time on another channel. New hero unlocked. She’s INCREDIBLE!!!
La version de Clifford Brown reste encore parmi l'une des plus mémorables sans rien enlever à Wynton bien évidemment... Véronica est superbement articulée ! Quelle maitrise vocale et imagination! A ce tempo, c'est colossal !!!
This is one of the finest renditions of Cherokee I have heard.
Indeed!
You don't know nothing yet.
Jazz is just the most wonderful thing isn't it.
Yes
What more do we need? Well, pizza. And whisky.
Idk, have you tried chocolate milk?
absolutely
yes
Wynton and Walter's reactions to Veronica's resolutions during her solo say it all.
You can always judge the quality of a solo by the inspirations the following soloist draws from it: she nailed it, and Nimmer took off.
The gorgeous Véronica Swift! Anita O`Day and Ella in one person.
Ellita O'Datzgerald
Sarah Vaughan?

Cherokee and After You've Gone are eternally swinging tunes...I never get tired of either and this rendition KILLS!!! Madame Swift ROCKED an already ROCKED ROOM!!! THEY ALL PLAYED!!!
At 5:22, it sounded like a quote from the music of the Disney movie, “Up” !!
Yooooo Saxologic is here!
Good ear!
Disney Pixar
I lost it when he played that
HAGAHAAHGFAGHFHGAFHGAFHAF
All of them sounded incredible. This is world class musicianship at its finest. Man they are swinging!
Just saw her live tonight sining a couple tunes in a Chris Botti show. Commanding. He had a legit male opera singer on right before her and I was like that’s gonna be tough to top but man her control on every little note is entrancing. She played Botti’s trumpet too a little lol. Phenomenal seeing such talented people focus their skills into jazz.
Veronica carries the torch well. She’s on fire.
well if you got set on fire you wouldn't be holding the torch that well
What a phenomenal band. i've listened to this performance for over 20 times now probably, and every time i appreciate it just a bit more. i love jazz and these cats have the pure essence of jazz.
Wynton Marsalis was on 10 as usual.
Virtuosity at it's pinnacle!
00:38
Yeah but his lines aren't really melodic. Sorry
fuck wynton.
I included this time stamp to highlight how bloated and half assed his ideas are
@@andy_travis My Man!!
Surely Swift is the best Jazz scatter of our time. Not only the wealth of ideas, but also her pure singing technique is excellent! - Veronica Swift should be at the top of the jazzsinger charts - and not Krall or Gardot.
I love her voicing and intonation just lovely just like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn Betty Carter
I know the soloists are all absolutely amazing. But can we all pause for a moment and recognize the brilliance of Carlos Henriquez? Lord have mercy.
It's great to see Master Francesco Ciniglio on drums! Please put him in the description!
Right on, give the drummer some! He and the band were swinging!!
I second that
Batteries is French for drum
He sounds awesome!
@@jambajoby32 italian, from Napoli
You know this is good when even the rest of the band is vibin'
Loving Veronica, she was not at all phased at all by following on from one of the best trumpeters in history with her solo.
7:35 cool blues quote. gotta love the tenor reaction
i cry at veronica's solo! how can someone be soooo good !!!!!
This has to be one of the finest performances I can recall.
That has to be one of the most amazing scat sequences I've ever heard in my 10 years of being a jazz fan.
Veronica Swift would be great for a biopic of Anita O'Day. She looks like her younger self and she improvises amazingly well!
She has said herself that Anita is her hero :)
Veronica Swift is impressive! Just 24 years old!
Was taken in so well,what talent and precision.
She is amazing and only 24 years old and you can tell Wynton is loving her scatting!
MERCI ❤️

Outstanding solo by Veronica and love Walter Blanding and Dan Nimmer's solos as well. Also love how Walter was really listening to and digging his band member's solos.
Winton Marsalis is a great man and an awesome musician, i just love him..
That sublime wandering Wynton does at 10:10 blows my mind - not to detract from all the amazing performances here!
THIS will go down in history as one of THE GREATEST PERFORMANCES BY A FEMALE JAZZ VOCALIST of all time!
The combined brilliance of these performers create a superb glittering Wow!!
Swift gives you a SMIDGET of Sass, a SMIDGET of Ella and ALL of HERSELF!!! I love it!!!
I don’t tire listening to Veronica! Amazing is a very tame description of her talent!!!

I f***ing adore the phrasing from 6:35. like the spirit of Ella resides in her. Magic.
Ms. Swift has done her Ms. O'Day homework...
I think you mean ella!.......
@@Jazzmarcel I see Anita in her more than any other singer, but she does more complex lines and more 8th notes in general than Anita.
@@rolom3 Both are there with a little Annie Ross thrown in for good measure. She respects her influences!
@@Jazzmarcel I totally agree, I heard Ella coming through her so clearly! I would say Ella is one of her main influences and it's clear they love her!
She's got Anita down, with some Ella for good "measure"!
Wow. She is really good. Being a trumpet player helps to understand the harmonics. And she is pretty as well.
My jaw was open all the way. Incredible performance the whole 11 minutes trough. Also, everyone's enjoying themselves and you can actually feel it when you watch this video. So powerful and energetic. I love it !
