My 93 year old mum in law lives in Melbourne, Aust. suffers from dementia. I often download clips for her and write them to dvd. she will just love this one

[@keithhorner1671]

Interesting reading the other comments here to see how Wynton attracts varying opinion but overall admired. I recall seeing him at Spray farm,nearGeelong when he came to Australia. A wonderful celebration of Ellington. He was a great leader, fine musician and a personality with much warmth. That all comes out whatever he plays.

[@Limersjazz]

Wynton Marsalis - Unbelievable! Interesting to see the facial reaction differences of Jon-Erik and Chris both sitting next to Wynton Marsalis when he is playing these fantastic breaks. Super Rhythm - Section as well.

[@MAMRetro]

This is an amazing take on the Armstrong classic. There are hints throughout the rhythm that point to a fresh, modern approach, all the while preserving rather than copying the exact sound of the studio version. The trombone player cooks with the scat. Finally Marsalis is at the very least Armstrong's equal, but IMO he totally surpasses him in technique. A modern masterpiece. Thanks for uploading it Wynton!

[@mortimersnerd8044]

Adding something original to an Armstrong classic while preserving Armstrong's pure expression of joy in this piece, very few musicians can reach that level. Speaking of technique, Wynton blows a few notes here and there (as did Armstrong in many of his recordings) you just about never hear a musician of Wynton's caliber push themselves to the very limits of their talent, he certainly matches Armstrong's passion in this piece.

[@richierich291266]

I think this piece is utterly brilliant up to 1:42. At which point Wynton starts messing around with the rythmn in a very "modern" way. Yes, it's terribly clever but, for someone who likes trad as trad, not at all enjoyable. Same goes for the "modern" approach to the scat. Again, terribly clever but, to my ear at least, jarring.

[@jamessteen6667]

My only comment is that wynton solos too long, give others there spot

[@oldgregers]

Easily one of the catchiest soloists I've ever heard, love the guy's playing.

[@mortimersnerd8044]

What amazes me is the amount of energy Wynton puts into his playing this piece

[@maemanjongmeta1152]

My Lord! This is inspiring. This is why I practice my trumpet everyday. I want to play like Wynton Marsalis. That is my dream.

[@oliverz.3555]

He's so great!! You're right!!

[@JazzFan76]

I remember when I would play along with Louis Armstrong's records because I wanted to play and sound like him. That was my goal until a friend of mine told me to stop playing like Louis, the world already had a Louis, and to play like me. Develop my own style of playing, which isn't anything special but at least it's different. I'll never be like Louis or any other trumpeter and I'm okay with that. Just play and develop your own style and sound. Don't be like anyone who's come before.

[@BlahblahMessi10]

JazzFan76 while you’re right, musicians get their licks and specific sound from other players. To get good at improv, you need to listen A LOT and mimic other players so you can get a feel of what they’re doing then study the solos in depth later on. With that being said, getting your style comes from all the musicians you’ve ever heard and tried to mimic but also from coming up with new ideas.

[@jwmc41]

You’d have to add and every night as well - but I suspect you’d still be struggling

[@BlahblahMessi10]

jwmc41 being good at improv was never meant to be easy otherwise everyone would be good at it. Practicing different techniques, patterns, LISTENING, and mimicking is really how you become a good musician whether it’s something you want to do or not. Also exploring other genres and styles of music helps a good amount.

[@jayrod9002]

Love Wynton. One of the best on the planet.

[@richierich291266]

I agree. One of the most extraordinary solos I've heard too. Just blown me away!

[@SuperMaDBrothers]

did you say E-X-T-R-A-O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y because you wanted to emphasize the word or did you want me to read it to myself as the word spelled out?

[@samuellee7585]

He’s the best awesome music and incredible trumpet technique

[@mortimersnerd8044]

You should hear the original, Wynton is one of the very few that could credibly cover Armstrong at the very hight of his powers, and like all great covers, add even more to a piece that's already a classic.

[@jadlouro]

WONDERFUL TRUMPET SOLO

[@SydLightbodyOfficialMusic9]

HOT DAMN! Seriously!!! It makes me so happy to see Wynton play like this.

[@caroleawalt8043]

I am your BIGGEST FAN!! I put Wynston Marsalis Jazz in Marciac 2009 on daily!! WOW!!

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

At the beginning, look at that 2nd Trumpet guy second from the right... he's grinnin' like a skunk eatin' bumblebees through a picket fence! The other cool thing is that Mr. Marsalis lays down in the weeds for most of this and lets the other guys have their day in the sun - that's pure musicianship.

How does he manage to insert different time sigs in his solo? Wynton will go down as one of the all time jazz greats.

[@kanikahlemon4449]

Yehbo!!!! 4~Sho!!!!

[@jwmc41]

I wonder. He will go down as one of the greatest technicians. Skillfully and logically assembling and blending jazz licks from variety of sources into a virtuoso performance. But is there anything in his constructions that others will use and be influenced by in their own jazz thinking. I am not sure there is anything for that. In fact, where are his followers, is there even one?

I've talked to him about that. It wasn't the first or last time on these gigs that he was blown away by Wynton.

[@gregburris9972]

By the way, that other trumpet player is Jon-Erik Kellso and he's a dynamite player in his own right. A regular with Vince Giordano and all around NYC.

[@gemusic1]

Jon-Erik is actually a better player in this genre of jazz.

[@hughpenner1417]

[@bleuzeph]

Sooooo.... Good!

[@ilprofessore10012]

This is an extraordinary record of a rare moment in his life when Marsalis, the master technician usually a bit too controlled for real hot jazz, really lets loose and plays the way the great Armstrong and others once did. Heart and soul and the rest be damned, Watch the trumpet next to him on the right who knows that this is one of those special moments when Marsalis is doing what he uniquely can do. Yes, he can play all the notes. Yes, he has a beautiful tone, but jazz is more than that, and for once Marsalis is doing it right. The others---clarinet, violin and the scat singer-- are just OK at best, but here for one moment in time the greatly gifted Wynton really swings the way the old men from his hometown, N.O.. always did. What possessed him that night? Will we ever know?

[@cadyhoffer]

That trumpet player is Jon Erik Kelso from NYC. He is the master of plungers in trumpet world. His setup is crazy but he knows hes next to a great and gives nothing but respect

[@gregburris9972]

OK at best? Really? Victor Goines (clarinet) and all of the rest of the band are awesome musicians in their own right. That’s why they’re on that stand with Wynton, who can hire whomever he pleases. He doesn’t work with slouches. And by the way, Goines’ clarinet solo is amazing too. Wynton’s was other-world-like, and hard to follow, but Victor did it up right.

[@CreeperMiner1]
