Mr. Gordon is such a joy to hear. His style is so soulful and even his simplest phrases are full of nuance of emotion. Also, I do not hear enough people talking about Kyle Poole. He is incredible. It's like he know's what the soloist is going to play before they do. Absolutely incredible.
Mr. Gordon gets it ALL -- from Pops, the musician and entertainer, to Trane, to the legacy of Duke and Strays! And his choice of Cunningham as a running partner is good one. And, as always, Emmet comps his ass off.
Wycliffe is the man on growing trombone keeps the spirit of tricky sam nation alive thanks Wycliffe and Adrian plays some slick tenor sax✌thank you gentlemen.
I think you guys are easily my favourite trio ever! So much joy and energy, endlessly talented. Most importantly, always fresh! Please keep doing what you do
HI Emmet, So you really have something wonderful with "Live from Emmet's place. I feel compelled to point out that the one instrument that has not graced your stage is the Baritone sax! There is a man in town who is not only melodic on this great horn, (very unusual), but also swings like mad. I'm sure you must know him, or even played with him. His name of course is Jason Marshall. Please Emmet, give him a call. Regards, John D.
@@jazzbirdbecky HI Becky, Absolutely Bruce Johnston. I was born, and lived in London most of my life, except for the last 16 years in Spain. When Maynard Ferguson moved to the UK. in the late 60s for a few years, he used to have a monthly gig at London's famous "100" jazz club, (gone now). You could take a chair and sit right up to the bandstand, no reservations needed. As you can imagine, this was a very exciting time for me, (a bit like Tuesday mornings, watching the latest "live at Emmet's). Anyway, Maynard had a full size big band, (5 saxes etc.) many of the top British jazz men, and he was just getting into funky-soul jazz. Around early 1970, there were two new faces in the sax section, on tenor was Brian Smith, a tremendous player, and on baritone, his compatriot from New Zealand, the very great Bruce Johnston, both unknown at that time. Bruce was featured a lot, including a tune written for him, "Stay loose with Bruce". He really knew how to play to the crowd. Fantastic memories, and I believe he was or still is, teaching in NY. Yes, get Bruce Johnston! I suspect most readers of this have never heard of Bruce Johnston, sad. Regards, John D.
my favorite channel!! The channel most expected to see what kind of musicians will come out in the future. I wish musicians would come out like the way they were selected so far.
Man, I don't know. I see some other requests for Wynton too, and I don't think you could get that. They're just so hard to get - wynton is ridiculously high-profile, much more than even Wycliffe, and as far as I know Ryan is still living in Cedar Rapids. Not terribly accessible, although I guess they got that Australian guy there.
I said it recently and I will say it again. These cats will be studied one day, more than we're already studying them. Just pure soul...
Russell Hall on bass is supreme.
YES
I like how Kyle Poole romanticizes those drums and cymbals so effortlessly.
Ok, We want Wynton Marsalis now!!!
Oh yea

*Man, to be alive in this moment…*
This intersection of history endures as one of the most strenuous in modern times.
*And over the course of 75 weeks (& beyond) the trio’s momentum and musicianship have, both, healed & astounded us.*
Jazz family, last night we experienced a powerful uplift from Down South & Down Under:
(Sons of Waynesboro, Georgia, & Sydney, Australia) - *Wycliffe Gordon & Adrian Cunningham, delivered a treasury of jazz anthems that spoke to our souls.*
Their instruments captured moments of elation and lament that surpass the human voice.
*Wycliffe is one formidable cat that wastes no time in spitting the truth from his trombone.*
His facility is matched by *Adrian’s hipness and beautifully-crafted cascades on tenor sax & clarinet.*
*You don’t study this language…You live it.*
Every wail, growl, and melodic passage assumes *sacred significance* when you know what the hell you are playing for:
*The times that we live in mirror the angst, injustice, & confusion of values, that faced the forebears of this music.*
We follow the footsteps & stories that are, too, painfully familiar.
*The mastery & dedication of Emmet Cohen, Russell Hall, and Kyle Poole remind us of our precious capacity to create change.*
But we are committing the same tragic errors.-
America, my love, you bear many wounds yet you continue to inflict them:
You’ve been playing the wrong riff, baby. Forcing a wrong note does not make the delusion disappear.
- I’m just Spillin’ the Tea here…
*The jazz giants always knew this to be true:* Their music underscored the Black American experience & selflessly gave voice to a global one.
Last night, we all found ourselves ‘going to church’ - *If this was solely about religious affiliation, we would not feel the universal pull towards a higher possibility of life.*
*EACH of us, from all traditions, aspire towards the same goals - security, freedom, dignity.*
May we all lay our burdens down and heal.
Love, blessings, & Shalom, jazz family…and Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🌎🙏🏽

Man, Russel Hall is playing his ass off in this one! Insane stuff! 🔥🎻
Tub-thumpingly beautiful. His mid-flight tuning is impressive too 😄Fast hands

@@manzajazz9025 wow. Awesome Bruce and his wife a Robyn are friends of mine.
@@jazzbirdbecky Sorry! I don't know why I dropped the "E" off of Bruce's name.
Wonderful for the soul!🎶🥁🎼
Wow , that must be a Super Clarinet to sound like that.
Just amazing. I'm astonished every time
my favorite channel!! The channel most expected to see what kind of musicians will come out in the future. I wish musicians would come out like the way they were selected so far.
This might be my favorite one so far...
Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic stuff!! Love it!!!
incredible
Isso é música!
Thank you for this! You've made my day!
very nice
bravo
Now I gotta book a flight to new Orleans
Did Wyciffe quote the middle 8 of 'Go Tell It On The Mountain' at about 29:36?!
ye :)
lol three quarters of a century. Hahaha.
please come to toronto
It would be excellent if they made a video of this concert for all audiences, only with the songs that include the voice.
Just click the timestamps, jeez
Man he looks hard to please at the beginning lol
You gotta get Chris Crenshaw on too!!
i see an apex of a lion sitting amongst cats
Each time they outdo themselves...
Wycliffe? Because cliffe
20:00
I didn’t know Martin Freeman played tenor!😂
Adrian Cunningham is part of WG's International All-Stars. At Dizzy's:
ruclips.net/video/nc6zkJw2kYk/видео.html
Danger: far too much talent in one room. And that's just the rhythm section!
get Ryan Kisor
Man, I don't know. I see some other requests for Wynton too, and I don't think you could get that. They're just so hard to get - wynton is ridiculously high-profile, much more than even Wycliffe, and as far as I know Ryan is still living in Cedar Rapids. Not terribly accessible, although I guess they got that Australian guy there.
@@charliecampbell6851 I think kisor sometimes comes back to play at jalc orchestra, probably doable
@@charlesperforms Kisor is currently on tour with JLCO.
Thats Cowboy Bebop music.
