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.
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!!
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.
Yes, there are "other artists" all celebrating the life of their dear friend. I think that sentiment is hard to miss. I'm sorry for your loss and that of his family.
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
Wynton is one of Amazing people I've grew to know, just so fantastic and level of humbleness is second to none. And what fascinates me most about him is his ability to blend with any situation despite his heights. Man Said One Four just to put them in track 14:40. Love you big Maestro
wow honestly that is one of the coolest most moving things i have ever seen and heard in my life , what an incredible tribute there dear friend Abram Wilson he would of be looking down and listening and dancing to that in heaven
@@jesuischarlie6381 Yes, St. Johns is on the south bank of the River Thames, near Waterloo Station. Which made "Down by the Riverside" all the more appropriate.
@@TheSpikehereI was trying to figure out how in New Orleans there would be all these confused and fascinated white folks looking like they’d never seen a second line before. I get it now.
beautiful, I love this parade is extraordinary, joy, sharing, love, friendship, emotions that arise from this music. Thank you for this good time spent with you. Friendship of France. Michelle
What a send off! I am sure that the departed is in Heaven still smiling and playing along with the musicians. I have always said that when my time comes I would love a New Orleans funeral. Don't think it will happen. Just a thought.
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.
I didn't know this happened. Abram was one of our best and brightest lights at Ohio Wesleyan. He was a freshman my very first year there in 1991. I'm so happy he had this send off. Thanks gentlemen.
I was lucky enough to be in NYC when I caught a cakewalk coming down the East Side of the Park, only it was for a wedding and not a funeral....sometimes there's no difference😂 I am sure any couple willing to do that has at least a chance though. Certainly made my day. What a great American tradition.
Not every American does this though, Second Lines originated in New Orleans, Louisiana and continue to this day there. You wont find many Second Lines outside of New Orleans. They do Second Lines for nearly every occasion, birthdays, funerals, weddings, memorials, and sometimes they do them just because they can. For funerals in particular, they will start a dirge as the casket is inside and being carried out to the hearse and often times you will see them leading with the casket and pallbearers exiting behind them and they will continue to play the dirge until the casket is inside the hearse and the door is closed. Then, the dirge will stop and there will be a minute or two and people will wipe their tears at this time and then the brass band will start playing happy, upbeat tunes and it turns into a celebration of life for the person who died and the people will Second Line for a bit.
Imagine if you will...Wynton home from Julliard, Mr Ellis on break and. Branford all playing at Tips.oh yeah those were the days.Doesn’t get much better than that.Thosis quite cool however.

+Christopher Williams sure is a a beautiful service.
This gave me goosebumps.
You are a good son! Mom is proud.
Your Mum sounded like a great lady and credit to you for picking such great music.
Hallelujah Brother!

This is what I want my funeral to be. This is the perfect song.
One of my favorite songs performed by one of the best, Mr. Wynton Marsalis. Sounds strange but I love these jazz funerals. They celebrate life.
Happy are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
What a beautiful and dignified performance!
I have wanted to see Wynton Marsalis since my freshman year of college!! he's so amazing

I didn't know him or his music. But if these were his friends he was a loan from God to the world.

Way to send a brother off ! Funny thing is I often watch those jazz funeral videos to cheer me up !
+SoundboyEric Same here, that's a strange mix of feelings.
+Mehdi F hmm glad I'm not the only one
remonter le moral?? C'est fait pour ça la musique non ? - enfin , ça l'était, au " bon vieux temps " hahaha !!!

It's more "I'm glad he was here" than "I 'm sorry he's gone "
I just played this at my dog Buddy's funeral procession. God bless you soulful movers and shakers. This music is pure joy in my time of deep sorrow.

Congratulations on a great ceremony here from Maryann in Ohio glad to join in and all the spirituals here. Thank you, Wynton Marsalis.

Not a mourning of death, but a celebration of life. This is how I want to be processed out.
wow honestly that is one of the coolest most moving things i have ever seen and heard in my life , what an incredible tribute there dear friend Abram Wilson he would of be looking down and listening and dancing to that in heaven
A Second Line in London. That must have been a first. Beautiful.
Yes it was and i missed it.
This was London?

It's got the right amount of sadness with just as much happiness!!!!
R.I.P. Abram. Thanks for this great send-off! I felt like I was right there! Respect!!
Grazie MAESTRO!!!!
Un grande saluto da un comportamento di una banda musicale di Genova
E siete superlativi!!
🎼❤🎼

Bravissimi!!! Un buon ricordo. Per Abram Wilson, grazie.

Sergio Augelloni Fabbri right on!
The death can even stand up an enjoy this before to leave. Miles Davis, wynton Marsialis, tx for your lives.
What a beautiful procession. Brings tears of joy as my mother loved these old spirituals.

Some much love I hear and see. Just Great to see theses amazing musicians parading like that with such humility. Warms up my heart
Beautiful.
The spirit of Mr Wilson surely floated surely up to Heaven.

This is one of the most interesting videos I've ever found on RUclips
I didn't know this happened. Abram was one of our best and brightest lights at Ohio Wesleyan. He was a freshman my very first year there in 1991. I'm so happy he had this send off. Thanks gentlemen.
I love this! Praise the Lord.
Wynton plays the trumpet like drinking water so natural.

Great when others can come together to celebrate a life.
God being praised
Jesus Christ Is Lord !!!
Isn't it amazing how much culture black people brought to America and we are still hated
Jesus Loves YOU !!!
Fantastic! A dream come true for me if I had been in the line or even on the street!
Baby, they can second line me all the way to the grave. As my old daddy used to say, "Lawd, Lawd!!!"
Can't believe abram has gone,such an inspiration
All great musicians. Don't overlook the importance of the bass section. Fine job by the two sousaphones and the tuba.
I want this when I die!!
Never lost his roots.
