Agreed. The drum solo is amazing . Instead of just banging out a loud show-off type of drumming, he skillfully transitions the gospel classic from its slow "piano" beginning to the "allegro" quick dixie style uplifting finale. Bravo.

@@normpeplow3813 I am usually pretty critical when hearing a drum solo, but right when he started, I knew I was in for a different kind of solo and he really let go. When the rest of the band came in I was thinking if you just sat there and didn't get that urge to move there is something wrong. Fantastic solo, beautiful group. Wow!
I bet that Clapton considers this performance one of the tops in his career. Not being his main style, it must have fulfilled his aspirations of playing black music, the very reason he became a pro. I can see him thinking "look at me surrounded by 7 black jazz musicians. This is it, I made it."
I totally agree 1000 times ___ I saw the same thing. I think however rather than playing with black musicians he is in awe of playing with an all star team. ___ his smile at the end says it all ____ wonderful moment ___
There's a certain validity to your point. I 'made it' in 1965 when I wandered into the Continental Club in 3rd ward in Houston and met Spookey Dancye (Hammond B-3) Ronald Wynn (drums) and Horace Grigsby(vocals.) I worked with those guys, and a good many other notable Houston black musicians until 1968. After the MLK assassination, I found The Old Quarter in downtown Houston and started doing solo gigs there. I did tunes like 'Work Song' and 'God Bless the Child,' which the mostly white clientele had never heard. Still, I never felt like I had 'made it.' I was just a playing bum trying to supplement my meager day gig pay (In 1965, my salary as a first-year teacher was $4590, but everyone knew that the pay scale was set up for women whose husbands worked at Exxon or the like.) I remember those days, and I'm thankful to those black musicians for helping me, mainly by being tolerant and kind.
It’s supposed to be played slow at the beginning (this being the traditional style of New Orleans funeral procession), and after the drum 🥁 solo it picks up. It symbolizes the sorrow of losing a loved one to a celebratory ending knowing that that loved one is no longer in pain but in the arms of Jesus. 🎉 perfect interpretation of this old hymn
great group ,singer,drummer. This song is what all of us need at this time the way the world is going . we need this song , Just a closer walk with thee.
Grandiosi...un grande ...Ciao al ❤️ .!!! È la Musica.... Grandiosa che vorrei tanto, matanto accompagnasse all' ultima...mia residenza!! . Grazie, anche ora mi mettete animo in cuore ❤️ . Ancora grazie, Ciao!
Best version I have ever heard! Truly love the 2 part symbolism of this song. First part reflects the sadness of the love one leaving us and the the last part is the celebration of the loved one being received into the arms of our lord!
WOW, UNBELIEVABLE !!!!! A traditional masterpiece played by Masters Perfect performance by drummer Mr ALI JACKSON 👍👍👍👍👍 Musicians far beyond categories !!!!!!!
you got that right Al, i just pray that our eyes and ears are opened to the majesty that we are witnessing so we can have the joy of fully appreciating it.it must be a profound humbling moment for clapton to be able to participate with muso's of this caliber .he looks like he's feeling at home ,with the people who make the music he's admired and been inspired by since he was a youngster.i bet he's dreamed of this day for many years.
Can't get this rendition of Just a Closer Walk off my mind - one of my All-time favorites! Tag Mahall Winton, Eric, & that wonderful drummer & entire band.
I hear this at such an emotional level that I do not have the words to describe it..thank you all..Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton together You are magical. 🌸💞🪄🤯
Thank you, New Orleans, for sharing with the world this beautiful beautiful way for your sons and daughters to take that step into the light. It is truly a celebration of life.
Both their life and ours. A dirge on the way to the burial to grieve, then swing on the way back to make us smile and remind us that happy times will come as life goes on. As you say: Beautiful. It's like an Irish funeral, but with better music.
@@anthonycrystal33 he played major and minor scales plus some chromatic phrases and arpegios. pretty much what everyone was playing. he showed control over every note on the changes like when the forth goes minor or the dominant. what are you talking about? should we follow your taste now?
Simply a wonderful piece --- so much soul ---- became a favorite from the first heard i heard it --- Wynton does such great stuff across all spectrums of American music -- viva New Orleans
@@mehermusic2154 Those cannot be compared and can stand side by side, In Newport it was quasi an impressive solo by Mahalia Jackson and in London it was a marvelous band project!

I loved this song in all its entirety. It brings a teapot my eye thinking of all those dearly loved family an friends no longer here with us. And I'm reminded of the time when I will be rejoicing wither in heaven.
Esto esta por encima de todo. Del dinero, del poder y la ambición. Esto es lo que nos identifica como personas y hace q millones de almas se unan con un sentimiento compartido. Esto nunca podrán quitárnoslo. Muchas gracias de corazón.
just caught this fabulous video,Eric Clapton doing what he obviously loves and a drum solo recalling the great Gene Krupa,all in all a very enjoyable video
My oh my, now that takes me back... as an old preacher, I remember that song and the way they played it and my brother sang it. This song was also my grandfather Scott's favorite hymn. Great job to Wynton Marsalis, Eric Clapton and the rest of the band. Bravo!!
Certainly the best version of this gospel with that of Mahalia Jackson. Magnificent solo from Eric Clapton as well as that of Ali Jackson and of course Winton Marsialis always excellent. Congratulations to all.
I hit like because I couldn't find anything that said love.
💜💥
The best interpretation of this gospel classic that I've heard in my 75 years. What a great group of musicians.
Amazing, what a great group. The Chris Barber Band also did a terrific rendition of this (ruclips.net/video/dq6E_D20538/видео.html)
Praise God 🙏
Just wonderful!!!
Everytime I hear this BEAUTIFUL HYMN my 73yr old BRAIN Craves more to visit NEW ORLEANS Thanks For Sharing. Beautiful Rendition
Me too. 73yo.
Just wonderful, uplifting music in a world of noise!
Yes the same for me too!
11 musicians played sublime music to whisk me outta here
Thank You Jesus
What an orchestration !
Thank you Mr Clapton. For being you.
....Eric is a great musician, not so much here, can't hear him with all the brass and woodwinds, just wonder how he got so Reich Wing!....
Every time I play this 'my soul is refreshed'. The drum solo is outstanding.
Agreed. The drum solo is amazing . Instead of just banging out a loud show-off type of drumming, he skillfully transitions the gospel classic from its slow "piano" beginning to the "allegro" quick dixie style uplifting finale.
Bravo.
Well spoken sir. One seldom finds ' musical jewels' of this magnitude.
Mine too , definitely brings me back to my louisiana roots this song is the number one sing used in Jazz funerals here I. New Orleans
Play this over my grave, PLEASE!
❤ Welterusten voor straks , slaap lekker morgen gezond weer op , dan ben je rijk ❤🇳🇱🙏🇺🇲🌏😘👋
My dad’s favorite song Had it played at his funeral. This rendition captures the spirit perfectly!
Taj MAhal has the true spirit of the tune. This music was born in New Orleans I am proud to say. ....my birthplace.
Man, Wynton is so good! You can hear New Orleans sound in everything he plays, right back to King Oliver.
Taj is one of the most overlooked rock/blues performers evah! Give him all the credit you can.
Sweet Jesus Let it be!
I have been a huge fan of his for decades, couldn't agree more.
@@davewintersIcicledave His double album "Giant Steps/De Ole Folks at Home" is a true classic. down-home blues on one disc, hard core rodk on the other (most soulful version of "Six Days on the Road" you will ever hear)

❤ SENSATIONAL AWESOME BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY AMAZING WONDERFUL 👍😊 THE VERY BEST IN THE WORLD 🌍 SIMPLY! 🙏 THANKS.
Gospel soul music is a gift to mankind from heaven, I love this so much
Well said
i bet clapton thinks he's died and gone to heaven. playing with this mob. he's having such a blast and feels so at home .a long way from cream .
I love the way the trombone seems to play off from Taj's vocals and then makes the solo his own.

One doesn't hear this kind of quality often.
And Taj Mahal when he sings, does so with such a penetrating soul....
This is the best version ever! It stirs my soul! What a treat to my ears
Two of the most super talented musicians together brings tears to my eyes as God listens.

Thank you for a very special version of this song. Taj and Eric just add something extra to the wonderful Wynton Marsalis and his gifted band.

My old dad has been gone now 30 years or so, and how he loved Dixieland type jazz. I hope he’s hearing this, ‘cause I sho likes it.
This is just genius...I love the way they shaped this song...the song itself is great but with a New Orleans feel to it is just fantastic ..

So do I.

It's like an Irish funeral, but with better music.
Startin' my day with JOY!
Very soul searching! I love every note.
This just refreshed my soul. Thanks for that.
If you can play in a well-seasoned Jazz band then, you can play very well. Well done, Eric Clapton.
clapton can't do jazz and his solo was not up to the standards of this ensemble!
@@anthonycrystal33 he played major and minor scales plus some chromatic phrases and arpegios. pretty much what everyone was playing. he showed control over every note on the changes like when the forth goes minor or the dominant. what are you talking about? should we follow your taste now?

Goosebumps every time I listen to it…simply amazing rendition
Music can do things nothing else can do. This is a fine example.
Absolutely true and right on....
It heals the soul

Such sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet sounds! Thank you, my angels, and may God keep you all happy and blessed, forever and ever and ever, Amen!

Wow what a performance

Yes all the glory to God
Stunning version. Just like 'old school'. Until part two that is, equally stunning.
The soul of a man comes out in music❤❤❤❤❤❤
Because of Eric I am a real fan of blues. Now because of him and Marsalis the jass is great
Most likely the best drum solo of our time. Great job.
The drummer always - always - gets the best licks.
Ali Jackson demonstrates that you do not need to hit every bit of your kit to play a sublime solo.Bravo.
That's what makes him a master drummer!
THANKS - this old dame doesn't know much about music, but was trying to say that with a lot of words, and you said it with a few.
One of the best drum solos i;ve ever heard
@@kenny711 Absolutely!:)

Absolutely fantastic! The best version I have ever heard.
louis armstrong and mahalia jackson 1970 newport jazz fest blows this away. find it here on youtube

Check out Mahalia Jackson's life version 1964 in London. THAT is the best version of that song, ever. And Wynton Marsalis would agree. :-)
