GREEN CHIMNEYS PT. 1

[@marcman1999]

One of the best thelonious monk songs ever

[@davisc1926]

You are spot on!! Wynton always teaches that in jazz improvisation you should get an idea and milk it for what it's worth and that is quite evident in all of his solos. Everybody listen to the bridge at 1:50 when Joe accents on the snare and Wynton 'fakes' him out on the repeated phrase. You can hear the guys laughing in the background. I LOVE JAZZ!!!

[@AndrewJanusson]

This to me is still one of the greatest performances ever captured, so good!

[@JamesGiannoni]

MY teacher just recommended this CD and I just bought it last night!!!! I have not stopped listening to it since! This is the way jazz should be!

[@herrkkbach]

Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson - alto saxophone Eric Lewis - piano Kengo Nakamura - bass Joe Farnsworth - drums Orlando Q. Rodriquez - percussion

[@davisc1926]

As much as I've seen this video, I keep noticing new tidbits of info. At 2:45 after the high note and the rest of the band comes in to start another chorus, Wynton admits to Warmdaddy that he temporarily "forgot where he was".

[@joshin17]

His whole solo builds up to 4:43. I can listen to that line over and over. It is fuckin good.

[@lucasrivero5342]

15 years later and I agree 100%

[@hombrequemiralaluna]

These guys are ridiculously good.

[@fulzgy]

Dude this song was filmed! I had no idea, this song is so sick

[@makjazz7]

yes thankyou wynton and ya don't stop

[@davisc1926]

I love how Wynton invites the drummer into the conversation at 2:00. To me, his music in general is so inviting. There are few musicians that are such virtuosos on their instruments, they can basically play anything in anyway during improvisation. It amazes me how he jumps octaves at 3:23 and not crack a note!!

[@knusence]

I play Trumpet and Bass im LOVIN THIS EVERYBIT GLAD TOO SEEE THE VIDEO

[@Monkeylobber111]

man i love this song. and wynton and his band are amazing as usual!

[@SaxHero]

You and me both, my friend. I play saxophone (big surprise there given my username...) and it's clips like this that make me realize that there is nothing else that I would rather be doing with my life.

[@poursavoir]

Timeless.

[@ExiledHere]

Man ... they was cookin' up stew that night ... thanks for the upload.

[@PaGoO]

Wynton Marsalis - trumpet Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson - alto saxophone Eric Lewis - piano Kengo Nakamura - bass Joe Farnsworth - drums

[@Psycho9263]

He sounds a bit like the "Tain" Joe Farnsworth

[@enjoythevoyage]

Fantastic video and channel! 5 superstars!

[@garzaedu]

YES!!!!!!!!! Genius!!!!!!!

[@photoheaven7]

Yes, so amazing absolute miracles!

[@davisc1926]

Ahh yes, I love the sound of surprise.

[@jazzzzmm]

Thats what im talkin bout! Go on wynton!

[@asianfrenzy666]

GREAT SCOTT!

[@MikeRochaMusicAcademy]

Absolutely killin

[@trane1959]

This is the shit. Wynton, we all bow to your amazing-oscity

[@trossitrumpet]

@davisc1926 And he still made it sound good. That's the beauty of Jazz! I love it so much.

[@upT3mpo]

Best video ever

[@smak99]

seriously hes a monster

[@samanthajones4337]

I think its funny, how the person who filmed it, or produced this video is not mentioned. We would not have this video, if it was not for my father Jeff Jones and his friend Preston. You should add the musicians mentioned below, he is missing one of them though. Orlando Q. Rodriquez - percussion

[@dasiccseason]

Shown in the credits of the second part of this performance.

[@sonicallyopinionated]

Kengo is playing the helll out of that bass!

[@PoggiiBonsii]

thelonious can be proud

[@leoyucht]

it happens to the best of us. Even Wynton is human. This music celebrates Human-ness! Creativity, emotion, expression, 3 characteristics that separate humans from all other species - That's what jazz is about man!

[@TomasMikaX]

Creativity, emotion and expression can be found in other species.

[@makjazz7]

oh yeah he steady on it you done believe me do you but ya like dat

[@toddjh1617]

that high note at 1:54 came out of no where:) very cool

[@quackslikeaduck]

oh yeah

[@scotttinkler]

Damn such good trumpet, ouch.

[@trane1959]

at 3:23. wynton Man? What the fuck are you even doing. You are a beast. After 20 seconds of two octave leaps, you even freak yourself out. You are the shit.

[@SaxHero]

(3:49-)3:55-4:25(-4:29). Period. I love the way he jumps two octaves at a time before that as much as the next person, but his phrasing here is so amazing. The way he works with just that one idea and just those few notes including my beloved flat 6 is absolutely brilliant. So choice.

[@JonErikKellso]

thank you!

[@PaGoO]

Wynton Marsalis - trumpet Wessell "Warmdaddy" Anderson - alto saxophone Eric Lewis - piano Kengo Nakamura - bass Joe Farnsworth - drums Orlando Q. Rodriquez - percussion === Jeff Jones and Preston - filming

[@JonErikKellso]

thanks!

[@crieverytim]

wow, never knew wynton to get out like that

[@danradu231]

Man Kengo can swing!

[@JustinCopelandMusic]

I'm pretty sure the form of the tune is AABA: Abm7 for 16 bars, Gb7sus for 8 bars, Abm7 for the last 8. The second chord of the tune is actually the bVII, not the III. The relative Major of Abm is Cb (B). the M7 of Abm is G, which is not the #11 in BM. It's the b6. Wynton is simply using the Ab mel. minor for the Abm7 (as you said), but it doesn't overlap with the Gb chord. There is no lydian mode being used.

[@Elliot84]

is that one of his students on bass? he's killin it anyway. as for wynton what can you say? the guys career and playing says it all. Elliot

[@poursavoir]

At 2:47 the tune takes off thanks to Eric Lewis: what an impact on the band!

[@ohdingobongo]

"davis1926" Yes I think you're right, but hey - nobody's perfect and he did it in such a cool way. Not sure I could do that. Great number & good video. Great player.

[@CoreyKat]

Cleveland Watkins was just on Ronnie Scott Radio show talking about this. Bebop

[@whosetoewasit]

3:16 note to self: after the song, have to wipe my asshole

[@elield.kurosaki78]

esse cara é muito bom mano queria conhecer ele

[@moss84ce]

@copedogg888 bridge is 2 chords alternating: gb min/cb7 one bar each.

[@mebjz98]

7:40 til 8:00 made me cry!

[@bpwhite01]

Wynton did that to me a few years back at Ronnie Scotts in London, an old lady next to me had to console saying " its going to ok son!"

[@rTaHuCl]

@ThaGearOfWar Thank you! no one ever does. he's way out of tune.

[@warrenj3204]

2nd line wyton

[@charlesbarry971]

Wynton playing a difficult Monk composition.

[@jcroshi]

これはイケる。

[@williampinson1125]

I've enjoyed this live recording for years, and it's really cool to see it for real. Great jam! Also check out the original Monk version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anSQpn2tZqachqM

[@davisc1926]

I wish I could help you, but all I know is a 32-bar chorus in the AABA form. Maybe more musically inclined people than myself can give you the harmonies. Thank goodness I don't have to know the actual chord changes in order to listen!! haha :)

[@williampinson1125]

It's a shame this video shuts off right in the middle of Mr. Anderson's doing his thing. He is so contemplative in his demeanor while the music he makes is bold and intense!

[@JonathanHernandez-wj6st]

Wynton Marsalis Es Genial. Para Mi El Trompetista Mas Grande De La Historia. Cuando Toca Jazz es el Mejor y Cuando Toca Música Docta También. Puede Variar De Un Estilo a Otro de Una Forma Impresionante. Y Su Lenguaje en el Jazz es El Mejor Idioma.

[@eliadesfonseca2221]

Canela fina

[@UmbrellaGirl64]

Green Chimneys is an RTC in Brewster NY where many have been abused. I aws abused the whole damn time I was there. I'm sorry the Monkman's daughter, whom I didn't know because she was years before I was there ever went because beatings were the usual. Staff beat kids and I was given beatings every day. It's a damn shame he would name a song after that dreadful, horrible RTC.

[@JonErikKellso]

How about listing the band members?

[@JulianVerdeguer]

Anyone got a link to the CD?

[@derrickbecker9856]

Wynton is 46 here?

[@sysphus13]

anyone saying shit about wynton needs to watch this shit

[@jcroshi]

@zzwizz (Thank you for your response. 日本語分かるのはなぜですか？

[@k0sha]

pardon my ignorance, but what is BAMF?

[@calebwcurtis]

That's Kengo Nakamura on bass. He's bad as hell.

[@jbquintet]

no its good :)

[@evangarner6412]

lick at 3:40

[@JustinCopelandMusic]

basically the same thing. I saw an original transcription of the form, and the bridge was Gb7sus, which would essentially be Cb7/Gb (could also be Cbm7/Gb). Kengo (the bassist) seems to stick to Gb in the bridge during the solos.

[@pigbagable]

Damn - 4 people got stone hearts and cloth ears or they are trumpet players with sour grapes... Is all.

[@whosetoewasit]

if jesus was real he would have played this solo before wynton did

[@whosetoewasit]

4:40 damn wipe again

[@fearfeasa1]

Wynton sounds like a latter-day Red Allen here ! (Red Allen - that's the guy that invented bebop in the 1930s.)

[@JustinCopelandMusic]

yeah that's exactly right...so what's your point? lol

[@JustinCopelandMusic]

oh. well he's wrong lol. wow

[@funkEntelechyPlacebo]

alto is really out of tune - which adds to the tension I guess

[@ThaGearOfWar]

@rTaHuCl Man I agree...that shit is ugly. xD

[@PoggiiBonsii]

wow, a lot of "out of tune"specialists . any idea who is playing?

[@rTaHuCl]

Sax solo bugs the hell out of me. Sounds bad. But wynton killed it!

[@rTaHuCl]

@matcast You need your ears checked he is way out of tune. I like his ideas but his tone is very poor.
