Sophisticated Lady - Duke Ellington and his orchestra

[@entergame9035]

After dark brought me here and thanks god 💘🎺

[@michaeldubick81]

Man, this is one of the greatest examples of circular breathing demonstrated so beautifully by Harry Carney. That was true artistry. I play this song as a set closer, not nearly as well as the Duke and his men, but I keep trying. For KG!!!

Harry CARNEY had the most beautiful sound ever on a baritone , by far !!!!

[@Bix12]

no doubt, and it was the Duke's genius who even thought about voicing the baritone right out front of the horn section...i mean, who does that? but wow could harry coaxe some sweetness outa that bari

Without a doubt, the finest baritone sax solo ever recorded. I wish I could have witnessed the initial reaction of Gerry Mulligan, Pepper Adams, Ronnie Cuber & Steve Kupka after they heard this for the first time! It's a shame that the bari sax is such an underappreciated instrument for so long---When I bring mine on stage, people still ask me what the hell it is!

[@ThomasAquinos]

Yes, bari sax always be an underrated instruments by people who really don't appreciate music.

[@primarycolorsvideo]

This was a revelation. And I’ve heard a ton of Ellington. What tone Carney had! Duke cared about two things. Swing and tone. You needed both to play in his band. Such elegant and timeless music. The Soul wrenching lyrics are always in mind as he okays.

[@ericmintz6689]

Not too mention Hamiet Bluiett late of the World Saxophone Quartet (may he rest in peace with all the other great bari players).

[@mrkanyuk]

Possibly the best bari sax solo ever played. If you close your eyes, he sometimes sounds like an alto and then sometimes sounds like a tenor. From subtone to throat growl, with impeccable taste, he even throws in circular breathing at the end! WOW!

[@binface9]

And the circularly breathed note sounds like a viola 🤯

[@peterchoe]

he makes the baritone a legitimate solo instrument. something I don't think it was even designed for.

[@rubengreenberg2253]

And often it sounds like a cello. I knew Harry Carney well; the kindest man that ever walked the earth. This shones through in his playing.

[@dyad2r1]

I had the honor of attending a Duke Ellington concert back in 1960 at the U of Chicago. It was an evening I'll never forget!

It's 3am and the dulcet vibration of Harry Carney's playing is the lull I need. 💜

[@MaestroPhilbin]

>>This sax "solo" is simply incredible. Harry is so smooth and phrases so sweetly that on at least 2 occasions I let out a noticeable sigh. The agility he has on this Bari is uncharacteristic of the instrument itself., he really shows us how it is done here. That 24bar long whole note shows that circular breathing isn't for digeridoo players only. So you see that this vid was so impressive that I took the time to comment on it. WOW !!! What virtuosity and control.

I’ve always liked jazz, but I love that Big Mouth introduced me to Duke. He’s now one of my favorite musicians. Love all of his songs: “Take the A Train”, “In a Sentimental Mood”, “My Little Brown Book”(one of my favorites), “Haupe”, “Satin Doll”, “Mood Indigo” and many others!🙂
