Portrait of Louis Armstrong - Wynton Marsalis

[@MrBosnian78]

This is definitely my favorite version cause he doesn't try to play like Louis, he plays like Wynton.

[@yoyokyoko]

a piece by duke ellington written about louis armstrong, played by wyntom marsalis. Inception

[@friskytrumpet]

This is the best trumpet player in the world!

[@Desoto875]

Mr Ellington, and Mr Marsalis captured Satchmo's style. I think that was the first time I ever heard scat come out of a trumpet, but it did. What a beautiful piece of music.

[@TribalKatz]

I've always been mostly a fan of traditional jazz. Modern jazz never struck a chord with me. Every time I think of jazz, I think of it's original sound--the one that made you smile and get up and feel like dancing. I don't think jazz was ever meant to be the baby-making music it's associated with nowadays. Wynton Marsalis is one of those modern jazz artists who embraces the original sound, which is why I appreciate him as a musician.

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

When you said modern sound I thought you meant stuff like Michael Brecker. I was confused when you said "baby making music" and understood you meant smooth jazz

[@TboneWertman]

That lick at 2:44 always gets me no matter how many times I've heard this!

[@MrMoneymeister]

There's always something great about seeing how a musician adds or twists some other style. Plus, hearing a familiar riff in a great song just gives me the heebie jeebies. Good job Wynton!

[@ericoverissimocarvalhodeol2497]

Mr. MARSALIS, I love your work...Bravo!

[@da11king]

Wow damn! very imressive and masterful solo!!!! My fav wynton solo ever!! Never seen him play this agressive Satchmo style! He does things that i never heard trumpet players do often.( i am taping my left foot lol)Great mixture of old and new!!!!....p.s that "thing" he does @2 44-2 48...sick!

[@MrUnderbill]

I´ve been listening many Jazz Instrumentists, and Wynton is 100 % Original, Each one with his talent and his own style, cause who decides to copy somebody else never triumph, and this Master is a great trumpetist..

[@geezee769]

damn wynton is such an amazing player and i love his anti racist agenda hes just a great guy. little cocky at times though.

[@nathanjackson3730]

Little healthy ego never hurt anybody ; )

[@jackp-w3886]

He’s not cocky when you compare him to Arturo or those types who let high notes boost their ego way too much. Wynton is well disciplined and doesn’t fall into the high/fast/loud trap

[@gregaudrey4299]

Jack P-W Agreed.I’m also a big fan of Arturo. My issue with a lot of “high note “ players that play high notes because they can, is that there’s not enough musical\melodic use of this register...screamin’ ain’t musical,IMO.

[@cadillacdude1975]

that performance ladies and gents is why this man is the best trumpet player of the 20th century. period. not taking anything away from Maynard, Louis, Doc, Artural, Bill Chase, Eric Miyashiro, Lin Biviano, Greg Geisbert, (i can keep going with the names) or any other, but this is just simply fantastic. the end. Wynton is the master.

[@BassGuitarGuy128]

Woh! Actual musicians! A rare sight these days…

[@bbstucki]

He's not copying Louis, Miles, or Bix. Wynton Marsalis has got his own chops. Very nice.

[@johnsurs22]

I don't that Wynton played like Louis in the other version; he played in the cool New Orleans style which has been made so iconic by Louis. I think that when playing a Duke Ellington song, it is better to play in that style, and so I like that other version better. However, this version is still great, and like another poster said, Wynton is playing with more of his style that he has developed over the years. Thank you for posting this.

[@sweetypete1]

Wynton the master of the trumpet. One of the greatest Trumpet players ever.

[@gtheemps]

Oh man! I'd have loved to hear the applause after that!!

[@JS-gn9rs]

The original (Cootie Williams on trpt) sounds a lot more Louis, for those dumping on Wynton for "imitating" Armstrong here, or playing an Ellington chart as written.

[@IanBenedict]

Whenever I hear hear Wynton play this one it always has a mix of Louis's sound and Wynton's personal touch

[@MidnightSwinger]

Damn, I wanted to hear that applause. So earned.

holy jeeeez.... theres 3 monette trumpets, thats a mimimum of $18k's worth...

[@gabriel64032]

Genial, Wynton Marsalis es unos de los primeros trompetistas del mundo como jazzista y como concertista clásico. Es uno mis favorito.

[@lau59rel]

Standard Time Vol. one; still my all-time favorite.

[@yaboycoopa242]

2:13 to the end really caught my attention

[@kiritanJ]

Agree! Jazz can never be a copy of something. If it is, it's not Jazz. It can, and often is, be an interpretation of something, though. And that bytheway goes for all decent music. Mozart wrote piano concertos for Bach's sonatas for instance, much more borrowing was taking place there... but with all the added strings, it was something new. Modern HipHop borrows ALL THE TIME via samples. Music is language. We use same words. We deliver different messages.

[@FlyingRun]

Wynton

[@dundee101]

ol louis aint here today! but cat...... have a listen to this young, up and coming trumpeteer.....i think he might make it! (respect)

[@MrBosnian78]

copying isn't a word that defines jazz, because technically everyone is copying each other. copying is too harsh of a word, that's why we use transcribing and borrowing ideas

[@calvojsable]

Un crack!!!

[@cadillacdude1975]

what people need to remember abotu being a jazz great like Wynton is not only knowing how to play jazz, but knowing what notes not to play.

[@biggrex]

He should play a trumpet that sounds like that more often. I usually skip listening to Wynton because his usual trumpet sounds about the polar opposite of this all the time.

[@javier51930]

excellent, thanks for upload!!!.

[@trumpetrumept]

Great !!

[@mikegreenemusic]

@yralm07 and @MrBosnian I totally agree, with both statements 100%, Jazz is a conversation, and a language, Think like this, How could you speak to someone in the english language without usisng words that someone else has already used, then it wouldn't be english.

[@ForminaSage402]

Love the growling lip slur at 2:17 haha

[@SimplyAsunder]

great stuff!

[@JohnStraussmusic]

My thought on that is copying is a perfectly completed played phrase of music as the original. Jazz players play variations of other players phrases with there own twist feeling approach. not a copy

[@rpoole444]

YEA...preach on!

[@hicks0416]

Ahhhh JEEZ that was good! Love it!

[@VenusInPisces]

He's just being himself. Its silly to compare him to anyone! Comparing is not necessary just enjoy! :)

[@MrBosnian78]

no, he quotes louis just as much as cootie. this is more of him playing his version of the solo, not trying to copy.

[@CelsomauricioPeres]

Afinado bonito toca muito trompete

[@djjjamin]

@smoothbv yea i think he should do it more this is my favorite piece by him

[@xDreamCreepahx]

I love reading the uploader coments. @MrBosnian78 knows what he is talking about. To be good at jazz you HAVE to steal ideas. There isn't one jazz musician that can say that they have NOT stolen an idea or 2

[@justintime604]

he is pretty good I now because i play and i've met him

[@0HORNMASTER0]

Chills...

[@tyler2484]

@MrBosnian78 Besides, to try to create a completely new style or phrase or riff, is nearly impossible as it will sound like it's emulating some style or player somewhere along the lines.

[@ivandavidparra]

Why does it have thumbs down?

[@hommefriday]

Anybody know the name of the trumpeter closest to the camera? Is he the same musician often seen with Natalie Cole?

[@KevTheYoungMusicGeru]

@yralm07 you must first "copy" and emulate those who can speak a language before you speak it yourself. and to get to a higher level you have to do this with the people who can speak the language best. from there you can do a lot and truly express yourself and have your own voice. I think I've heard miles or chet say something like "sometimes it takes a long time to play like yourself"

[@davisc1926]

I doubt Wynton ever tries to play like Louis (or mimic) his playing. Playing like Louis Armstrong is more than just playing trumpet. However, I like both versions of this song as well.

[@TheMrWoodLin]

To me, Wynton can change his sound to make it sound like it did back in the good ol' days.

[@Aught6]

does anyone have the tabs?

[@Madeinchinaagain]

1:09 = Euphoria

[@mattsamudio]

The notion of "copying ideas" is almost irrelevant - regardless of the "idea", weaving it into the musical moment is where the real "black magic" is.

[@AdamH830]

@hommefriday I think you he might be Ryan Kisor

This makes me want to quit playing trumpet. He's so great.:P

[@jacquesdeghorain3162]

W.Marsalis démarre formidablement bien , jusqu'au moment où, comme d'habitude , il s'éloigne des lignes de forces crées par Armstrong pour se noyer dans ses habituelles accumulations de petites notes qui ne sont plus là que pour montrer à quel point est grande sa virtuosité , mais qui ne sert plus la musique qu'il joue mais seulement lui-même. C'est toute la différence entre Louis Armstrong et lui : Louis allait au fond des choses , désossait sa musique pour en extraire l'essentiel , ce qu'il y a de plus significatif en elle : il était au service de la musique qu'il jouait . W.Marsalis, lui , au contraire , met la musique à son service . C'est ce qui fait toute la différence à mon avis entre un musicien génial et un instrumentiste hors normes , bien entendu , mais qui a perdu le sens de la finalité de la musique qu'il joue . Marsalis ne dit plus " écoutez comme c'est beau " mais " écoutez comme je joue bien" Moi , je regrette cette attitude qui n'apporte plus que la manifestation d'un immense orgueil et qui ne sert plus beaucoup la musique de jazz , c'est vraiment dommage quand on pense à ce qu'il aurait pu faire , avec cette virtuosité totalement étonnante qu'il a . Peut-être qu'un jour......espérons !!!

[@mikeroe5591]

Far better player than Armstrong ever was .
