Black Codes - Wynton Marsalis Quintet at Ronnie Scott's 2013

[@missa3157]

damn....just damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 loved every minute of this cut. thanx wynton for posting

[@elderelis7559]

When I first heard Black Codes I was totally blown away the technique and melody that went into the music. Nice to see Wynton musically reminisce on this track.

[@ljbegnaud]

Great to see Wynton playing in the quintet setting. Love the openness of that sound and the space it gives all the musicians to interact. Found his groove in the solo.

[@jimkost2002]

Dan Nimmer is BADASS!!! That being said, a musician like KENNY KIRKLAND only comes along once in a generation!

[@中国爵士领袖刘培义]

lol Keep your mouth shut, this is the greatest insult to Kenny Kirkland

[@piotrbalmusic]

This is superb 👏👏👏👏👏

[@AustinCasey]

Much more feeling here than on the original recording. Much more wisdom and purpose in his own playing too. I think his best period was early-mid 90s but his playing today is lightyears more soulful than in his earliest years.

[@peterkaufmann4855]

I love this performance, but it's so hard for me to hear this song without thinking of Tain's energy and rolling Elvin-like thunderous toms behind the soloists and Kenny Kirkland's incredible piano playing. The album version is etched into my memory for all time.

[@wvtrumpet]

Great seeing this on here....Love these Tunes!!!

[@mediumstudio]

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

[@Everette1233]

Simply awesome! One of my favorites from you!

[@pyschointellectual]

Black Codes is on my top 10 jazz albums list of all time, I really hope the two brothers will record 3 albums at least of jazz standards before its too late. David Bahar Edinburgh x

[@paxwallacejazz]

Wyntons absolute best work when he was trying to follow in Shorters Footprints. Black Codes

[@kaalima]

The Trumpet Master at work !!

[@sam896luc]

I am amazed that almost all the audience I can see don't move a muscle with all this swing. Are they so mesmerized?

[@thomashood252003]

I would be jumping out of my seat !!! this is HARD swing...dammit so fucking hot !!

[@trestresbrel]

Walter Blanding is great

[@delicious9824]

[@fred59210]

[@Dm5741]

Dan Nimmer doesn't get enough props - imho :)

[@thomashood252003]

ohh he is a beauty..what chops !!!

[@erichuang7524]

"The Black Codes were laws passed by Southern states in 1865 and 1866 in the United States after the American Civil War with the intent and the effect of restricting African Americans' freedom, and of compelling them to work in a labor economy based on low wages or debt."- Wikipedia

[@mrkaycee28]

Thank you

[@rjfotografo]

master piece !!!!

[@BobsTunes2]

Awesome!

[@RogerBiwandu]

"Black Codes (from The Underground)", I named this album "The Bibble" so it's an important album for my development into the Jazz music, what a cast : - "Skain" - "Steep" - "Doc" - "Netman" - "Tain"

[@RyanGaujot]

Great Music! What mics do you use for the horns at this gig?

[@antonioalbertojuniorreis9333]

How much cost to be there?

[@Ericstlaurent]

LOVE how he quotes the head at 3:30

[@jalmirdesousasilva8256]

Very soul !!

[@crunchtimebernard]

Dang he's good

[@michaelabbo2779]

Don’t get me wrong I think wynton is honestly probably the most important and influential jazz musician of today’s musicians and he will certainly keep getting better but this song was way better on the album and this does feel a bit dull in my opinion. Just personal preference but what made the album version better was that it was a tad faster and also it swung way harder

[@honeybiscuitsinc]

The syncopation is incredible

[@MiguelMilicio]

Better the original, with the great Kenny Kirkland (1955-1998) at the piano, and others. Marsalis' solo is better too. Marsalis Wynton - Black Codes

[@alexbonahue3322]

I don’t know man I think this version sounds a lot fresher and Marsalis a lot more mature also I think there’s undeniably more communication and riffing and breaking the song with this group then the original

[@mareaumusic]

imo the fantastic sound of the monette steps behind poor live micing/mixing. maybe intended to give the mix an authentic live feel, but... - Nevertheless, listening to master Marsalis and all of his stage mates is always a joy.

[@superdiscount100]

same prob when I saw Blanchard there years ago. Something was not right..!

[@conrado.guimaraes]

One day can I be like you ? :(

[@boschblue]

The pianist looks like the handsome version of Mr Bean.

[@alexgurr2118]

Piano player yawns at 1:27 caught on video how much he doesn’t wanna be there

[@baltostar1]

This tune is from Wynton's very early days -- back when he & Branford first debuted on the national stage -- and back when I actually paid $ to see Wynton. Unfortunately, today Mr. Marsalis can't even play his own music without it sounding like an archaeology dig. The tune has lost any authentic underground feel it once may have had. It just sounds like some rich bored cat noodling away attempting to evoke what someone else's music from long ago might have meant live - except that it's his own music ! Wynton just isn't the right fellow to lead jazz out of the doldrums. Never was and Columbia dropping Woody for Wynton was the most brain-dead move ever in the history of big label jazz.

[@patriciagullickson9591]

Balto Star their isn't any one person gonna take jazz out of the so-called doldrums.... only the music can do that..

[@CrowleyStarkey]

I couldn't disagree more, Wynton has done more for jazz in the last two decades than anyone else. Through Jazz at Lincoln Center, and getting jazz integrated back into television, he's been reaching more people and bringing somewhat of a respect to the music. He also has a certain authenticity in his playing that is generally in short supply nowadays. I'm not saying he's breaking any new ground musically like Woody did, but I think he's more than qualified as an intelligent, talented, articulate lover of the music. That's just my view on it though :)

[@duecejsmooth2]

I don’t think Woody would agree...

[@ilesjazz]

I agree, Black Codes is a fantastic record and this performance is no match for that record. Jeff Tain Watts is exceptional and this drummer is fantastic but Tain is a hard act to follow and this all just sounds a bit dull. Still a massive fan of Wynton but his music changed many years ago and maybe this wasn't his best idea to do this. I do love all the House of Tribes videos, they are truly inspirational performances from Mr Marsalis but this doesn't do it for me.

[@chuckvedrene703]

ilesjazz guys. Simmer down now. Jazz is too old now to be groundbreaking only. It’s a very very very large genre now. These are the keepers of an old flame. Museum curators if you will. Believe me I was there when the next wave of Jeff Tain, Kenny Kirkland, Kenny Garrett, did this exact music and it smoked mercilessly. Mercilessly. 15 minute + burns just cause it was swingin too hot to stop! Terrence Blanchard walked in and I swear it was one of the top 5 performances of my young 5 decades of life. Cats totally forgot we were there. And I’ve been to over a thousand performances. Now if Chris Dave, Robert Glasper, Tivon Pennicott, Esparanza Spalding, and Yelfris Valdé did this music then all you guys would be shedding tears of joy. Glad you flew to the gig you knew you would die if you missed. This here is memory jazz. The jazz that takes flight section is in a different aisle guys. Thanks for shopping though. Nostalgically speaking I’m very fond of this show. As we should all be.

[@thomashood252003]

better than Lee better than Clifford betta than MILES !!

[@ziruini5071]

nahhhh
