Milt Jackson - Take the "A" Train

[@earthjustice01]

Wow! As an amateur, it's amazing watching Milt play. The heads of his mallets are huge and the length of the sticks are short. I love the way he "attacks"the instrument, just really putting his weight into the significant notes. It is a totally unique way of playing the vibes. Very inspiring!

God at work!!!!

[@loveyouall66]

MILT THE MASTER. DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

[@cartercombs]

This just makes me smile.

[@shadeofblue2004]

When I think of the Vibraphone I think of the late great Milt.. Dad you got it all now :D

[@mrjazzydude]

I love the bassist's facial expressions! :)

[@PY6PTT]

Fera Jackson.

[@hommefriday]

Just wish we had more of "rehearsel" videos - just to have an idea how these people create flawlessly for two hours in a concert - so many musicians playing with one souls. How?

❤❤❤❤❤

[@steelyfan147]

the most well-known vibe players are milt jackson, lionel hampton, and gary burton, all really really good

[@THEspindoctor84]

yeah, this is a vibraphone. You use felt mallets and it has a much mellower tone, I believe its used pretty much solely for jazz. It also has a sustain pedal. Its also awesome.

[@juancarlosvibraphone]

exelent.................

[@ramonkey2939]

The drummer was hurting me. But Milt is a professional and yes that audience was a bunch of Frickin Zombies "Sitting Dead".

[@pnrmd3355]

I can't believe that all the other musicians and audience aren't moving with the rhythm. Just sitting there stonefaced

[@emmepiemme]

they were paralyzed in the awe of the Master... :o)

[@NellsStuff]

Nice... very nice... :-)

[@DoctorRazzArea4]

That sounds really good for an electric piano

[@herminestover]

If only i could play this instrument adequately, just barely adequately, i feel i would never be entitled to ask for anything else ever again. the "Cortege" from "No Sun In Venice" is possibly my favourite MJQ piece, so slow, so mild and so explosively sexual.

[@noahvale939]

"Sexy" Cortege. Really?

[@markporter9912]

I never realised that Budapest had any Dixieland bands .....

[@kirkkimball-martinez2402]

Right on! Thats sounds great,even wth mellow Mallets, I prefer Brighter wth a little bite.

[@dariomulonia3480]

This great video, its a masterclass?????

[@steelyfan147]

red norvo was a great jazz xylophonist, from the old old days of jazz, really good stuff

[@steelyfan147]

oh shit, i forgot bobby hutcherson the other of the top four vibe players

[@noahvale939]

Niels-Henning Orsted Peterson on bass (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly), for many years one of the foremost European jazz musicians. It's hard to understand the stolid, unfeeling attitude of the listeners. If they are any indication of what Budapest is like, it must be a miserable place. They didn't even appear to appreciate how lucky they were to have Jackson and Peterson there as their guests.

[@harriheinsoo]

+noahvale939 I totally understand why you're upset. I would have been stoked if I was in that room! Giants!

[@TheJMusicNow]

Nice profile picture

[@Theo_Theemuts]

Does there exist a studio version of this?

[@The64200]

Milt Jackson is the King? Possible, but you`ve heard Gary Burton, or Dave Pike?

[@no0ne361]

The64200 i heard gary burton and he is a monster with the vibraphone but milt has a great sound that nobody can do and when u listen him play it you recognize him because he has one sound and style that is great to listen (sorry for my bad english but i hope you'll understand me)

[@EliPorter456]

Gary Burton is the king of 4 mallet Vibes.

[@pyromohanzed]

What do you play on your xylophone?

[@daveyboy731]

Brill Milt,s good but i still think hamps .THE BEST

[@noahvale939]

Nonsense.

[@noahvale939]

Nonsense.
