Sparks - Wynton Marsalis Quintet at Jazz in Marciac 2013

[@andrewbaruch2301]

Favorite of all time

[@richardhill3531]

That was astoundingly good. You either dig it or you don't. A God given talent that's bestowed upon us for this lifetime. It's wonderful that all of these Quintet guys made use of the opportunity allowed them. Wynton M?, Freddie H?, Woody Shaw?, Clark Terry?, Don Fagerquist?, Conte Candoli?. They all lean to their own personal styles and they favor notes differently. And I love all those trumpet guys. I play piano and write music. I don't expect ever to play like Dan Nimmer here. There already is a Dan Nimmer and he's wonderfully good. I'll choose my own path to work things out, but Dan here makes me want to pursue what makes me happy in the world of music. The value of one's talent should not be only in just showing others how accomplished we are. But rather, that talent may also allow us the opportunity to work at and display how grateful we are for that talent. I'm happy for all these players here. If I want to hear more down home blues I'll put on some Elmore James or John Lee Hooker.

[@ibrahimkhalif83]

Can’t find this song on any streaming platforms.

[@Pedroleum100]

You have to look for this platform which plays the old iPod ad where they used this song and voilà, you got it - for half a minute.

[@johngreatoptimist5147]

I love Sparks (but the original version), it's one of my 2 all-time favorite songs from Wynton Marsalis! This version is cool though, and interesting one! :)

[@kanikahlemon4449]

Yeah, Mr. Wynton Marsalis is My~ALL~Time~Favorite🎺❣️

[@C0rp0r4l]

Do you know what album I can buy that has a recording of Sparks on it? I can't find it so far.

[@clineshaunt]

Nothing I like more than the sound of jazz drumming with the brushes.

[@judyglasel533]

Especially liked Ali’s “accompanying” the bass solo.

[@haledragon1]

God damn this song slaps so much!!!!

[@tionneblackwell3528]

Man, Walter Blandings solo on this was so good🙏🏾

[@hugocarreon6523]

Best trumpet jazz solo. Wish i could play like that

[@samuellee7585]

You are definitely not alone:)

[@Adriansin1337]

Echale huevos hermano y tocaras mejor aun!!! todo mi apoyo, mucho exito

[@viemonphilippe8438]

Fantastique et merveilleux orchestre. Que des musiciens exceptionnels au top de leur forme. Waouh !!

[@chrisclem6756]

1. Wynton Marsalis (trumpet); Walter Blanding (sax); Dan Nimmer (piano); Carlos Henriquez (bass); Ali Jackson (drums) 2. post bop 3.32 bar popular song form 4. Love the quickness of the trumpet as he plays, it just blows my mind. And the same goes for the saxophone. The driving rhythm and tempo is what also interested me.

[@MateoCardona]

I saw them sparks flying everywhere! Thanks!

[@rafaelrey5365]

Los mejores solos, súper excelentes; Nimmer Blanding, Wynton,Ali, Carlos E.

[@andreaformica89]

Amazing!!! Grandiosi!

[@danielhorton7693]

Dan is something else. The wrists the hands so relaxed

[@mattmilleker1344]

I love Wynton. So jazz such nice.

[@haledragon1]

[@3e3op88]

+haledragon1 That's where I first heard it -- the only place, in fact. Ironically, it's not available in iTunes!

[@haledragon1]

+3e3op88 that's funny! thank you for commenting!

[@enzov9772]

The drummer changing to sticks at 7:53 let’s you know we’re about to go OFF

[@trompetajulio]

Without a doubt, an exceptional trumpeter!!!

[@hexo-mobius]

[@MateoCardona]

[@miguelsinagra3257]

El mejor Jazz del Mundo . Wynton está un paso más allá del resto . El heredero de Louis Armstrong .

[@SuperMaDBrothers]

wyntons sound is extra poppy in this for some reason lol

[@elderelis7559]

Mr. Marsalis get rid of that horn! It's cramping your style.

[@KaRidder234]

That's what I would call "Olympic Jazz": Higher, faster & farer. - Well, what did he tell you about *thee blues*? A whole lot of notes ain't making 'em deeper, got me?

[@samuellee7585]

But what about the sound he's playing with? That all of them are playing with? Is it just the notes or how they actually sound? I feel i derive most of the message from an artist just from their pure sound. Tells me what vibe they are on. I'm genuinely curious, this isn't necc to start a fight, just would like you to elaborate. You get no feeling at all from this? I will say though, I think i know where you are coming from. I've heard many a horn player who is just playing notes, transcribed licks, etc. And the execution isn't bad I suppose, but there is no feeling. This to me is not the case with this particular performance, but to each his own.

[@lenslemonbenzem6907]

i was knock-out by this tune. every phrase of members have articulations flood. i cant stand their funk
