    Wynton is such a beautiful dude, he never forgot where he came from , and his entiire life and career has only added to and embelished the memory of our most beloved Son....Satchmo Armstrong. This really captures the sound and feel of New Orleans even as far away as London. Right on Wynton!!

    My mother requested this when I was approx. 10 and when she passed 30 years later, we fulfilled the promise. I still remember the audible gasp of hundreds of doctors, lawyers, teachers, civil servants when I announced what awaited them outside the chapel. Following a horse drawn carriage carrying my mom when "The Saints" played was healing to my soul and everyone else. Even more healing that it's true. That's the way I want to go out as well.

    This video is also a great teaching tool to show young musicians how jazz musicians communicate the music with each other. Notice how just a simple gesture, such as raising the bell of his horn signaled something to the rest of them. Pointing a finger up let everyone know they were going to transpose it up a step. Wynton shouted out A-flat (the key the next song would be played in). He even gets the drummers back on track when they were in three (the meter) and the piece had changed to four. Great stuff

    I knew Abram, personally, and was so glad that he lived and blessed us with his gift and gave me my first string of gigs in London, from one fellow American to another. Classy guy who left too soon but so glad that I got to perform with him the times that I did.
    I realize people commenting are mostly focused on the music, if not other artists or topics, but I wanted to pay respect and acknowledge the whole point of this video and spirit of Abram Wilson.
    Rest well, friend, and God bless his family.

    We've lost so many great jazz musicians... I'm glad though to see their lives celebrated like this. Had to break out my horn and play along when they started to play Amazing Grace, just starting to learn the trumpet myself so I don't know many tunes yet - but it was nice to join them there for a bit.
