"Donna Lee"- The Mack Five feat. Alex Hahn

[@thecolonelchu]

I love the bass player's expressions.

[@captainphobos8670]

Colonel_Chu He walked that bass from LA to New York and back

[@axelytreberg5427]

Is that Dmitri Shostakovich with... Princess Leias hair?

[@skipmoyerbass]

Stuart Mack was

[@jeremiahdee7733]

Wow! As a jazz musician myself, it's always to see the great and emerging talented "younger generation" carry on the jazz tradition. Kudos to you!

[@StuartMackJazz]

Thanks so much Jeremiah!!!!

[@srconrad]

Yes, it warms my heart to see and especially hear!

[@MillsKyle]

The person that disliked should be placed in a pit of poisonous snakes. Why hate on kids making art. Get a life. Great job Stu

[@twayburn]

There is no way to know what prompted the thumbs down. Perhaps he didn't like the A-flat rather than A-natural or something (else) too subtle for you to hear. The young musicians might know exactly what he objected to; and, they were hoping no one would notice it. On the other hand, maybe he's just stupid.

[@Boodabam]

or he missed the like button

[@claytonpoon7764]

People are allowed to have different opinions from you?

[@lazulicdm]

@@claytonpoon7764 It's not as much that as it is going to a video about jazz, hearing it done really well, and disliking without giving a reason. If you don't want to hear a version of Donna Lee, then don't open the video.This is such a great community and it baffles me that we still have toxic people in it.

[@sotender48]

Poor stupid,idiot and above all jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jacobbowen9739]

Man that is just amazing God that alto player is phenomenal so is the trumpeter and tenor man! Dona lee is one of my favorites but i still can't seem to play it on my alto but I can I play it on my guitar lol

[@ihH6053]

jacob bowen I play guitar bass sax clarinet and keys I think its easiest on sax since it was oringinaly written for that

[@cjgreen4331]

Nice, another alto/guitar player

[@hanj31]

I love this alto player.

[@paulgibby6932]

Dayum!! this is killer! I came from Gabe Evans website and randomly clicked "Donna Lee". You guys smoke it, and the interlude and Gabe's little touches are so cool. Rhythm section, so tight too. Solos, mind-blowing. Great stuff guys!

[@cjgreen4331]

I like how the Alto tried to keep his laughter or smile in in the beginning. I can't blame him, if I had that much sauce, it would be hard not to smile too

[@jamesconnelly5432]

the real musicians of youtube ^^. Wish skill like this was still respected like it used to be.

[@merldesoisa2287]

Excellent

[@liamlord2785]

I listen to this as often as I can

[@StuartMackJazz]

Liam Lord awesome :)

[@jazzisalivehopefully8218]

Takes Donna Lee up a level.. i need this run in a Spotify playlist

[@axelytreberg5427]

Instant like after that saxophone-solo-intro. Awesome!

[@김영운-v3w]

[@johnsharpe734]

Great playing by all.

[@AAA-h2l2x]

I really love it❤❤❤

[@butterboydan]

I love this

[@mickifri2]

It's such a nice new, soothing jazz. You can feel the new elegance after the time of two decades of free jazz. The present has reconciled so many free elements that once took some getting used to, that it is a pleasure to listen to these young musicians. Love the contribution of the piano player. (Sorry for my maybe strange english). Greetings from Germany.

[@bradleybunk6463]

These cats are simply in beast mode!

Really great version of the tune! Everybody in this combo are great musicians. I really like the the piano quotes. And alto sax is monstruous! Greetings from Argentina

[@puderrick8634]

Didn’t know Rick Astley played the alto

[@cjgreen4331]

He's never gonna give it up

[@bruin4937]

So cool seeing you young cats absolutely killin' it in straight-ahead jazz! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to hearing more about all of you in your future musical endeavors!

[@marciamakesmusic]

Great sentiment but straight ahead jazz this definitely isn't

[@FatsacksAllday]

Great ideas, really nice rendition. awesome tones. over all outstanding

[@StuartMackJazz]

Thank you!

[@eldermartinsmusic3780]

[@StuartMackJazz]

Thanks so much man!

[@kylehill148]

fantastic.

[@KuwaywayLogic]

Did they take it faster than the tempo Donna lee was originally in? Cuz it sounds like it

[@StrasbourgStDenis]

This is around 300; Parker's is at 230

[@dabuzzgeneral]

Playing it GRP big band style😎

[@jacobruiz97]

Yup. This about the same tempo as the Wynton Marsalis cut.

[@rezqyagung7782]

In the real book its 200 but the 2nd arangement is at 250 but idk what this is in

[@KuwaywayLogic]

@@rezqyagung7782 4 years later 🥲 thank you

[@shaomane3551]

I'm an alto player, and you, as a trumpet player, stood out to me. Smooth and melodic ideas.

[@StuartMackJazz]

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@StuartMackJazz]

Thanks so much!

[@StuartMackJazz]

Thank you! www.jazzstandards.com/compositions-1/donnalee.htm

[@StuartMackJazz]

Carlos Schvartzman In that article it states that Miles Davis wrote "Donna Lee". Will gladly change the description if you can send me something that proves otherwise!

[@jvegaalbela]

Hi Stuart! I know I wouldn't have to ask a question like this if my ears were better, but the modal break you guys are adding between choruses is 8 bars of Ab Mixolydian, 8 of E Mixolydian and 8 of Eb Mixolydian (ish) right?

[@StuartMackJazz]

Jacobo Vega-Albela hi Jacobo, you're really close! What's written on the page (in concert pitch) is Ab7sus, E7sus, Eb7sus. However, we took a lot of liberty of the changes and weren't necessarily always playing those chord qualities.

[@nicollemosqueramusica]

Amazing!!!! I love it! ♥

[@suzanalopes8824]

brilliant guys! off to transcribing I am now!

[@philsax64]

Genius players.

[@LUCIMARIOSAX]

Muito bom!!!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Greatissimo performance by each member of the group. Alex smokes and burns relentlessly. What an alto saxophonic display of excellence! The tenorman, not unlike the trap drummer, is a polite inferno that can be extinguish with only maximum difficulties. The trumpeter, bassist and pianist are gentle giants who will certainly create brilliance in the not-too-distance future. Great Band.

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

i need to know how to comp like the pianist. i hear a lot of mccoy tyner in there

[@jojopatricka89]

wow!

[@StuartMackJazz]

I'm glad you liked it!

Are your fingers alive after that ? You kill the game ! 👌🏼

Damn Alex!

[@koju3891]

when bird said “in the next 25 maybe even 50 years maybe some youngster will come along and take this and do something with it” he was talking about alex hahn.

[@dridzzzz_]

Listen to this at twice the speed. It’s intense

[@bbfoto7248]

+Stuart Mack D@mn you guys are killin' it! Sax and drum player here. :) Big THUMBS UP! Well I know that it's been years ago now, but can you PLEASE ask JOHN STURINO what right hand RIDE CYMBAL he is playing here??? I want to steal that pie right off his kit, haha! Thanks! - B.B.

[@antoniovelazquez4348]

That bass tho!

[@andre.atrindade]

Dude, this is really really awesome! How can i find u guys on spotify????????

[@guidemeChrist]

[@JohnSmith-mc1wn]

fuck i wish I never quit music.

[@Ratdaddy752]

Fucking insane!!!!!! These boys would’ve scared the shit of out em back in the day

[@jayceledonia8447]

At 1:45. the bass player must be thinking his fingers are going to fall off and saying to himself "hands don't cramp up now!!".

[@ROBOTxSHUFFLE]

whats the altos whole setup? sounds sweet!

[@sashakingcrimson187]

Sasha king crimson !!!

[@rkgrant]

nice modern take on a classic tune...

[@spykid911]

I think the 1960s ended a long time ago?

[@cameronsax]

0:50

[@spencerabes199]

Is there any way you could help me get a piano part for this. Possibly a drum part as well? I'm trying to play this as a trio at school and I'm unable to find an arrangement for both piano and drums. Thanks!

[@StuartMackJazz]

What's your email?

[@CANALDOSAXOFONISTA]

o compositor é o miles Davis? Pensei que era o Parker.

[@VanhoveArne]

+thisaxlevy I thought Parker as well, but Wikipedia says Miles Davis.

[@Rickriquinho]

It is not an easy question, read here (read also the comments): peterspitzer.blogspot.com.br/2011/05/tunes-miles-may-not-have-written.html

fino..

[@borisaranchuk2279]

[@mysteretsym]

Say what you want but that bassist was popping off

[@taitelipchak4858]

How do u practice getting faster at jazz articulation ?

[@hanj31]

if you know bebop articulation you tongue the off beats and slur going into the beat! Just work on tonguing exercises
