- Some of the best jazz flute you'll ever hear, mr. James Moody fluting the blues!
This is transcribed from a video on RUclips originally named "Dizzy Gillespie & James Moody - Mmm Hmm", as Dizzy seems to forget the real song title when introducing it. The title of the actually tune is "Darben The Redd Foxx".

I went to the link, there are no Flute transcripts there.
Thanks! I figured it out! Sunset syndrome
Greetings from Ireland,
Do you have transcriptions for trumpet?
@@janetsilver3746what did you do to find it I could t see it
@@janetsilver3746pásenme por favor el solo de Flauta...en PDF
A lot of people don't realize it because of the delicate sound, but the flute requires one of the greatest lung capacities of any woodwind instrument.
Half your air goes out the instrument before sound is made. Exhausting.
And one of the most difficult Instruments to master.
@@CaseyWilkesmusiciirc, it's actually like 90%!
That's why I choose trumpet
@@idk-just-tea I had a wise teacher once say they aim for 89.5% but hey who’s splitting ‘air here?
Loved the part where he said “It’s flutin’ time” and then he flauted all over the place
This is what we always do
It's flutin' time
Mr. Gillespie said the meme! It’s flouting time! 😼
Why the balls is this the top comment
yall gotta pay more attention to the flautin'
The fact that he literally said it lmao
“Gonna flaut all over the place.” Love that line. JM will have classical flautists scratching their heads. 😂
Just don't "flaut" the law!😁
And flaut he did.
It's flautin' time.
Not too sure about that mate, but the brotha could play. I saw him with Dizzy and the United Nations Orchaestra at the Alexeandra Theatre in my hometoen of Birmnigham many moons ago - what a great night.
I’m a classical flutist...he blew my mind!
James Moody was also one of the nicest people on the planet. I once was at the IAJE conference in Atlanta and riding the escalator with my bari sax. I was about to set it down on a few of the steps, when I heard a voice behind me say that he, "Had it" and the gentleman proceeded to hold the back of my bari sax case as we rode up the escalator. When I turned around to thank the man at the top, I was shocked that it was James Moody! We chatted for a few minutes about the session I had just attended and how much I enjoyed his playing. Such a memorable moment in my life.
That is a wonderful story. James Moody's playing was always very human, almost voice-like.
My story of an encounter with a famous saxophonist: Back in the mid 90s, i was at an outdoor festival in Norfolk Va. I ducked into a department store to find a rest room. Walking through the sunglass section, i heard someone singing "You Don't Know Me" by Ray Charles. The voice was startlingly good, so I stopped to see who it was, and it was Maceo Parker! I was so shocked. I approached him and asked if he was performing at the festival, he said yes and that he was picking out some sunglasses for a set of Ray Charles songs he was performing for the first time...we talked for a few minutes before I left him alone...
I stayed for the full show, got his autograph. It was one of my best days (other than being ON THE SAME STAGE with James Brown lol)
You made that up😂
@@guitarttimmanyou think this is high school?
What Is The Name Of This Opus Piece?!
@@saabguy303 " Mmm Hmm"
it says that in the video description
His closeness to the keys is incredible, I am showing this to every flute student of mine. Awesome video!
I noticed the same thing… barely lifts his finger off the keys. Effortless / relaxed…
That's exactly what I was thinking, when there was a close up along the flute.
It's something that I still spend time working on - it started out when I first saw a video of charlie Parker.
I used to put double-sided tape on my alto sax keys to get used to doing it, though the side keys complicate things a bit!
Not a single excess calorie spent!
@@metallsnubben Gotta save energy for blowing, those things take some serious air.
I was thinking the exact same thing! And it’s still so expressive!
Three particularly nice things about this video: Dizzy’s witty introduction, James Moody’s wonderful flute playing, and we get to read the music and watch the performance simultaneously.
Hi, I'm french and I don't understand what says Dizzy when people laugh. I listened it any times but I don't.
James Moody was the clean & perfect pitch flautist, Roland Kirk the soulful energetic messy one, Yusef Lateef the vibrato master, and Eric Dolphy, the sufi
and Herbie Mann?
Frank Wess the best straight ahead swing
And Marco Pierre White was absolutely brilliant in the kitchen
Jeremy Steig’s Howlin’ Judy still blows me away. (pun intended)
Hubert Laws, master of the entire instrument.
Now THAT is what I mean when I say that it's a smooth groove.
This is the kind of music that gives me chills,it's sooo good .
Best music in the world 😅
Being able to see the sheet music as he plays shows how fluid he is and fast!
I can barely follow his time just reading notes, not to mention being able to play the notes on flute.
😂That's why music is played with the ears, not the eyes. Note that he's improvising with his eyes closed
Pure art, pure beauty. Not every day we hear a solo like this on the flute.
i’m an orchestral flute player and just joined a jazz ensemble because why not?
and i was met w complete annihilation! this video was in recommended and i am feeling super inspired. such amazing talent
2 totally different worlds right?! Orchestral and jazz. Best wishes with your transition. That’s mind cracking
Wishing you the absolute best in your pursuit of your passion❤
What a performance! Effortless, amazing tone, and the cadenza at the end blew me away. Just beautiful!
more like efflautless amirite?
James you are wonderful. K. Guffin.
I met James Moody in college. One of the humblest, most down to earth and funny guys ever! As well as a top notch educator!
🎵 There I go there I go there I gooo…
There I gooo… 🎶
I was fortunate enough to do his sound for two nights when he was in the North East of England about 25 years ago. Fabulous musician and a really lovely guy.
Major influence in musicality. Every note always meant something. I had the fortune of sitting in his master class in the mid 80s. Memories of a lifetime 🎉❤
Me too! James Moody was the best! Very inspiring and fun teacher!
He hasn’t moved any finger during all the song I swear. Incredible precision.
Imagine the thousands (Yes, EASILY, thousands) of hours that he patiently, methodically spent alone in rooms, building that kind of fluency and control! Flute has no mouthpiece, per se...you're literally forcing your breath across what essentially amounts to a coke bottle! This is an example of timeless, sheer brilliance and pure class. When I look at some of the relatively talentless oafs who make tens of millions, now, and have more than that many fans? I feel like I'm on the wrong planet! ...But...at least I'm not BITTER! 🤣
You can only get better or bitter anyways.
As a flute player of three years, holy shit. this man definitely has spent thousands of hours practicing each separate part of that song
😂
Lizzo has multi millions and her flute playing ‘hits all the wrong notes’. She’s an embarrassment to any flutist. JM was a master of the flute and saxophone ❤❤❤
Yes you are bitter. But with reason.
I was lucky enough to listen to him at Blues Alley in DC. Back then early 80s place was still affordable enough college kid like myself was able to go, without suit and tie. I had plesiosaur of listen to big names like Wynton Marsalis, Stan Getz etc. late night last session with a cup of coffee and onion soup and superb music was just un-forgettable memory.
What kind of spell checker changes “pleasure” into “plesiosaur”?!
@@jlmww what are talking about? It's in French? The Bigotry is unreal shm.
@@jlmww must be a monster of a pleasure? Ha!
Same age here, or thereabouts. Wish I had gotten into jazz at that age, I’d have tripped into those clubs for a night of music, coffee, and second hand smoke.
omg.. i play the jazz flute and it is SO exhausting but it sounds really good. i can feel this mans pain
james moody is by far my favorite jazz flautist, he has several recordings of darben the redd foxx and its always so amazing.
One of the greats. I have seen him do this magic in person. As a sax/flute player myself, I recognize a master.His articuation and note choice is wonderful. I would say he is my major influence on flute.
James Moody is damn impressive on both saxophone and on flute. He keeps on producing these tasty lines here, what a perfomance! Do you have some more jazz flute suggestions? Let me know in the comment section down. Hubert Laws comes to mind of course, as well as Herbie Mann and Yusef Lateef, and Will Ferell.

Joe Farrell
Yes! Love his work with Chick Corea, the flute solo on "Friends" comes to mind instantly. Good one
Sarpay Ozçagatay is amazing…you definitely should check him out
After Eric Dolphy died his flute went to live with JOHN COLTRANE ,Who play one or two albums on it , and 1year died too.....
Love Herbie Mann
I'm sure this is one of Andre 3000's inspirations for him to pick up the flute and come out with his flute playing album.
Very nice. Eric Dolphy was no slouch on flute, either.
Is he even human? MY GOD HE NAILED IT❤
I just started learning flute but if I can get to this level of playing then I know I can begin doing what my soul needs regarding playing music.
The hubris of this madman to flaut the rules like that
Rules are made to be flaunted.
The complete set of this Jazz 625 performance is floating around on RUclips, check it out if you can. Amazing to be able to watch this in 2023.
James Moody. Dynamic jazz flute master!!!!
I was fortunate to hear him play in Toronto at what was The Top of the Senator in the 90's. It was a wonderful night of music I'll never forget.
Thank you for showing the music notation along with the playing! Some of us still read the notes!
I'm usually not a big fan of jazz flute, but this is really good.
It's James Moody ....multi instrumentalist......of course it's gonna be cool ....this is the guy we all want to sound like
What an amazing solo! James Moody was an absolute monster on alto, tenor, and flute. Thanks for sharing!
Aside from the others mentioned, Thomas Chapin was superb on flute, be it on C, alto, or bass flute, as well saxophones (alto, baritone, and sopranino). He left us much too soon, and his trio with Mario Pavone and Michael Sarin was my favorite saxophone-bass-drums trio of all time, bar none.
Thomas Chapin, amazing! His pieces 'Aeolus' and 'Sky Piece', really beautiful. Don't forget Hermeto Pascoal!
@@ronaldo.araujo You're right...Hermeto Pascoal is awesome, too! Regarding Chapin, you named my two favorites of his original compositions, and "Skypiece" (the album) is one of my desert island albums.
@@AaronTMartin Did you know he has a piece similar tu Aeolus named 'Seeds'? It's on the Anima record. They are so similar that I wonder if they were recorded in the same day. The titles even match, 'Aeolus seeds'
@@ronaldo.araujo Yes, that's a great one, too! I purchased a boxed set of Chapin's recordings, and with that set plus a couple other albums I got over the years, I think I have most of his discography.
What am I missing with the connection between the titles? Wasn't Aeolus the Greek god of the winds? Not seeing the relationship with seeds....🤔
@@AaronTMartin I thought it was the genus of a plant, but in fact it's of a bug hahahaha
'Spirits Rebellious', do you have it? What about the documentary 'Night Bird Song'?
What an awesome performance and piece. The transcription is absolutely epic. I could feel my reading chops getting better and better with every minute that passed! Much appreciation for the hard work put into making it.
Never been a fan of the flute. ... until now. That was very nice. I love the upright base strolling along lightly in the background as well. Thats a very nice piece.
Best jazz flute playing I've ever heard. Wish I had discovered this 20 years ago.
Anything musical associated with Dizzy always grabs u and amazement follows. Ha. Dizzy played notes that could never be written. We're fortunate to have had him as a musical inspiration
James Moody is an inspiration. His dedication to his craft is(was) otherworldly. He could perform with anybody in any genre.
"Oh no, I couldnt, I'm not possibly prepared."
😳!! Whoa!!
Moody was a MONSTER Sax & flutist!!!
Bravo👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Now we know that the flute has the greatest dexterity of any instrument.
Instruments don't have dexterity. Instrumentalists have dexterity.
trumpet dexterity is much simpler because they only have 3 keys to press, flute dexterity is only good for scales everything else is hard to play on flute because of how jumpy notes can be
I have dabbled around with a few instruments and the flute has been the most wonderful, it’s taken most of my time besides the piano but I have very little to show for it
Absolutely the dirtiest most vile flute solo in human history. This is the pure distilled essence of blues
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Wouldve never known.
this set is one of my favorites on youtube, and this song in particular is just too cool. such a lovely performance from Mr. Moody!
His articulation is so freakin clean!!
My favorite instrumentalist alongside Sonny Stitt in terms of sheer technical command of the horn
Jazz flute at its absolute best. No one can touch this.
I played flute for 10 years and thought I knew how to play the flute. Then I listened twice to this composition, played by James Moody. I realize that I do not know how to play the flute. This is how I felt when I listened to Elaine Shaffer play the 7 Bach Flute Sonatas: I don't know how to play the flute. I hope I will learn how...someday. 🙂
I've been playing flute for 50 years (I'm 70 now) and I feel the same way. Every time I pick it up. The value is in the journey not the destination.
@@lawrencemcconnell8962 You are so right, Lawrence: the value is in the journey. Thanks for the reminder!
Funny. Moody says the same thing about himself. He insists that he's still a "student". But I heard him at the Lighthouse many years ago, and he played a long ascending glissando in parallel octaves - sort of like yodeling - that just blew me away. I've still never heard anything like it. Well, he's quite the student, isn't he?
Incredible! I remember when my parents were out I would listen to my father’s jazz album collection and he had a lot of Moody’s music. This takes me back.
I love the scoring underneath - eye opening!
I think flute is in jazz like an oboe or accordion or French horn - its inherent sound isn’t conducive to swing. But in the right hands it CAN swing, as demonstrated so well here.
Very cool. Excellent transcription!
So smooth. Very nice !
Outstanding!
Brilliance in motion ❤️
Fantastic!
Absolutely amazing piece. Brilliant
That was fantastic
Really good. Thank you.
This is just brilliant. Thank you.
Bravo! Genius.
I love the range of playing he could do! So impressive!
Delightful
Wow - that took my breath away. Stunning and so good to have the music to follow. Big thanks for putting this together - lots of work! Cheers from Sydney - Dave
Thank you so much for the transcription. That is a hell of a lot of work. Thanks!
Excellent! I think the jazz flute is way underrated, I like the jazz flute and tenor sax of Eric Dixon in Count Basie's big band, I'm discovering more, loved this performance right here!
Bravo!
Magnifique.
Giving “jazz flute” a whole new meaning haha
I have gained an all new appreciation for flute a couple years here now.. as a clarinet player, for me, that's growth.😂 Dude flouting for sho tho🎶🤎👏🏾
Fabulous
So clean!! The best 🔥
Love me some James
So enjoyed that you put the music score on the screen
I’m inspired!!!!
I’m purchasing a Flute and learning to play.
That was wonderful!
What an amazing solo, idea after idea after idea...
Oh but I did know that tho. Jazz flute always sounds cool IMO.
Fire flute. Calm as ice. Thanks for posting.
This is first class jazz flute, there're other g❤ood jazz flute players I have been listening to for almost 60 years, a good example is Paul horn in the movie "Night Tide with an early Dennis Hopper[1961] there is a jazz club scene with Paul Horn playing the jazz flute----there is quite a bit of jazz flute out there, again this is first class jazz flute in this u-tube video . just listen around you find enjoyment is other jazz flute artists.
Just marvellous flute playing
An ultimate performance, and very very enjoyable to hear. Such control over his instrument.
I have really enjoyed this video. Herbie Mann came much later in time and he was also a great flute player. Thanks for this Jorre!
Glad you dig that Nestor, and yes, Herbie Mann is amazing as well! Dig me some jazz flute
Wow that’s amazing.
Moody was amazing. Saw him many times in NYC.
So amazing the ease with which he plays
One of the nicest people I ever met in music as well.
Absolute genius. This pops so good
I love the detail that you included Gillespie's intro, a really charismatic man... James Moody is also a damn beast, he really nailed that flute solo at the end
This is a professional piece to play the flute you blow out the word two, wow
Grande!!
this is so clean n powerful holy shit
One of the most magical-sounding instruments ever made, & played magically here‼️
Mindblown
The best bebop band I ever heard was a Dizzy quintet in 1965 who played the 10th Charlie Parker Memorial Concert. Carnegie Hall. Dizzy, JM (alto), Kenny Barron, Chris White, Rudy Collins. Jeez, they smoked.
Thank you. Fabulous.
…Love seeing the transcription!
