Shirley Horn and Wynton Marsalis - Basin Street Blues

[@BigOHavingFun]

I have no words. There are none that will do justice to what I just heard. Wow. 🎺 the trumpet 🎺 wow. Thank you!

[@michaelonmaui5680]

Ohhh, Sachmo has got to be sitting back, listening - - -and just smiling. And if we're all really, really blessed - someday, we're all gonna be sitting back listening to Shirley, Wynton and Louis all together. Wow!

[@amtrakatsfnyc]

God Bless Shirley. This is a stellar performance.

[@TheSidvin]

If I had to preach, this would be my gospel😊😊

[@keepthemusicplaying0]

Two legends and a great composition... who could ask for anything more?? Thank you for posting this gem!!

[@trumpetdudeman07]

i'm sure wynton has some very alive memories of new orleans and hearing him play about basin street makes this song even more special. i could really tell he was running a lot memories through his head as shirley sang. really beautiful to watch a true artist open up his heart like that.

[@atsukofoynes]

I agree totally. Shirley Horn is incomparable. Her voice has,,,,,,warmth and yet she is so cool. Wynton sounds exquisite too.

[@nancydrew5]

babka22, What you said.... beautiful! Shirley's voice, I found myself holding my breath whenever I listened to her, afraid to breathe. She did take my breath away, her timing, the atmosphere she created. Amazing, did she realize that?

[@BrunaoJazzistico]

So much feeling in Marsali's trumpet. He talks with it and bluesly as this song demands.

[@singordie1818]

god, how i love this... and all of her later work... one of the great things about music--and art, for that matter--is how life bleeds into the work, a major reason why i tend to prefer artists with more miles on the odometer... and later years in an artist's life, when they've becomes themselves, to earlier years! god bless, shirley, i miss u!!!

[@mareaumusic]

folks, that´s real soul cookin. pure, deep and so cool. no better possible

[@bboymango]

dayum after marsalis' solo, he looked like he poured his soul out and had to recover. fine solo with soul, and those super high notes were amazing

[@babka22]

Holy smoke! How fragile is the perfection of such life!

[@jazzsingerlady]

Very nice. We miss you , Ms. Shirley.

@CV1728 Beautiful ,In one word.Thank you for posting.

[@amajeee]

Basin Street Blues is my favorite jazz song

[@babka22]

amazing grace, to be precise. wise womanhood (strong, gentle, lovingkindness, surrendered acceptance, transcended grief & benediction) accompanied by the energy of youth and manhood....the very distinction between piano and trumpet.

[@keepthemusicplaying0]

Fabulous !!

[@donaldfransson2827]

Great art - Wynton and Shirley. Aniando Sweden

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Gorgeous -- Very unusual, slow, rendition of this great jazz number! Shirley is so fabulous, even with flubbing the word at :40 (corrected: where the elite always meet) and WOW, Wynton! So terrific also. I wonder what kind of a mouthpiece Wynton is using on his trumpet -- it doesn't look standard?? He certainly shines in this number! SuPERB breath control!! Outstanding.

[@topolovatulmic]

Incredible !!!

[@vova47]

If a racism is what brought Shirley Horn to Jazz then I say for once my deep thanks to whoever is responsible. I can't imagine she'd be much of an opera singer or an exceptional concert pianist... However I don't believe it for one minute - great talent is what brought Shirley Horn into Jazz, hard work and determination is what kept her in music all those years when she was not recognized by public at large...

[@funkygrooveman]

Very nice!

[@rcwambold]

I know Wynton's got some giants paving the way and he sure paid attention - and his dues but, regardless, I think he's the greatest trumpet man ever.

[@SherwinJTB]

very nice and kinda solemn

[@jaxonellis2995]

Crazy about the format of her with Wynton...She did the same with Roy Hargrove in the "Meaning of the Blues"

[@mariposa9877]

Fantastic voice, it's like velvet.

[@nancydrew5]

hehe, look at Wyclif Gordon in the 'bones section and Wes, "Warmdaddy with the saxaphone in the sax section, two great players from down South. I sincerely hope Warm daddy is recuping and playing again, he is one of the best! Again,Babka22 very aptly put, well said.

I do know prfectly well who that is,not that it alters my opinion in any significant way.For your information my mouth was firmly closed and my ears wide open when I wrote this comment.Peace,vova47

[@aarandir]

The advange over sleeping pills being that listening to Shirley is free.

[@A60Stan]

Just Wynton's sound over Shirley's soul.

[@zzausel]

They made a great song out of a cute song.

[@miztejay-mizztotallyjazz9995]

Nice.

[@threehorsez]

@grantgre - That's the thing - it's phrasing. And no, people don't always do it - and when they DO do it, take note. It's something that as musicians can really mean the difference between technically playing and living a song. When I hear people who sing like they're speaking, and the music just breathes and flow, it's like heaven. And something I had to learn as a musician. Once you have it, you don't want the other. ;)

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Hey Ryan - looks like the link posted in the description to the whole concert may be wrong.

[@vova47]

My sentiments exactly!....(:))

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

and Wynton said, "ouch. that was COLD, bruthah." lol.

[@ftbhoy]

I like it it's got monk dissie 👋🤔

[@billypistol]

I still think that Shirley Horn is a little bit underrated !;)

[@danielcastrocuccuini]

wuau..!!

[@grantgre]

I really didnt study her, but every time the radio plays her she sounds like shes speaking mostly so Im not sure if that was an age thing but it bothered me musically.

[@howardshine1769]

Scotch sipping music

[@jdjking]

+howard shine Amen!!!!!

[@RobertoAlexFigueroa]

of course

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

AND HOW!

[@joeb434]

1. Horn had a way with keyboard voicings and rhythm what remains untouchable. 2. I still wish Wynton played bob stuff like this more often. Today he's into too much traditional stuff. 3. Horn sounds much better with an acoustic bass. That electric bass which she used in her later years was over-powering. Still a great post.

[@nancydrew5]

= I think Wyton's solo while great, sort of took the vibe of where Shirley was singing in a different place, not sure I liked that, but I guess that's what jazz players do, they each have their own voice.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

i dinna get this yahoo policy of many thumbs down squelching comments. promoting mob mentality. i don't think the trumpet is so corny, but if you do, why should 25 dis-agree-ers put the comment into limbo? bogus.

[@Superphilipp]

@CV1728 "but she is as important to musical history as Marsalis ..." She's not important at all then??

[@MikeRochaMusicAcademy]

second

[@vova47]

Five stars for Shirley,NO stars for corny trumpet.
