WYNTON MARSALIS "CHEROKEE"

1996

[@terryhink]

I love his ability to play so many notes and still communicate so clearly. He is playing with intent. He knows exactly what he's trying to say and he doesn't mumble. He just speaks quickly.

[@ChristianGastl]

2:06.. just watch it.. CIRCULAR BREATHING while playing 8ths in THIS song on a TRUMPET!!! thats not human. i love this guy

[@leemarcummusic1445]

yep - i was thinking the same - the best in the world - and relaxed as a baby

[@hakonsoreide]

Wow. No wonder he had to come up for a big breath at 2:19. Wynton is amazing. There is absolutely nothing he can't play on a trumpet, which means it's always interesting to see what and how he chooses to play. His performance is always firmly rooted in the history and tradition of jazz, which he understands better than most, but it is a bit of a shame too; I'd have loved to see what he could have done if he hadn't been such a traditionalist and dead set against avant-garde and free jazz...

[@RobEgertonJazzTranscriptions]

If I was a trumpeter, I'd mudwrestle my own grandmother for a horn like that.

[@Redshift313]

I hear ya brother but it ain’t the equipment... it’s the skill !!!

[@mongoharry]

Love the lights. Looks like 'St. Wynton' 😎

[@harryworley_]

That custom David Monette trumpet is so damn nice! A player like him deserves it though.

[@talkingthapelo]

+Harry Worley You must be a trumpet player as well xD

[@harryworley_]

+Hans-Christoph Thapelo Lange hahaha yeah

[@talkingthapelo]

Harry Worley It's interesting to see how Wynton now plays the rather 'plain' Monnette models again. I suppose all the extravagance is more art than what it actually improves the trumpet. I can also imagine that it is very heavy.

[@harryworley_]

Yes, I think you're right. I believe the one he is using is around $30,000, and most of that price come from the 1000 to 1500 man hours it takes to make/engrave it. And when you say ''I suppose all the extravagance is more art than what it actually improves the trumpet.'', you're spot on. Designs for trumpet have increased in the past 10 or so years, and nothing really changes how they sound. The changes are more renditions on the original design to make them look better or play differently. When someone plays a new trumpet now a days, they would usually say it "plays nicely", and not anything regarding the sound.

[@talkingthapelo]

Yeah man. Thats how I see it.

[@biffjohnson7891]

A true masters music Comes from the soarce And goes through us right into the heart Straight as the crow flies Just like Cupid’s arrow And that sound is forever Long live Wynton 🙏🏻🎼♥️

[@NFHYet]

Young Wynton on his old Monette, but the sound is timeless.

[@mareaumusic]

This is the real muscle show. Absolutely amazing skills.

[@selector111]

Amazing he is definately one of the best ever, and i love his monette it looks like the mouthpiece is connected to the leadpipe.

[@clarisusa]

selector111 i got to try one once and the mouthpiece actually screws on, making it look completely seamless

[@Composer19691]

Wow! Just wow...I've NEVER heard anybody light up Cherokee like that!

[@blah148]

the bass player probably passed out after this one..

[@JuCeCortesPe]

Que extraordinaria ejecución, la secuencia de notas que realiza sin dar pausa... esta es una de las canciones en donde se denota los altibajos que hace... que velocidad... formidable!!

[@chirobob]

God bless this purely American art. I will certainly plant the seed of jazz in my kids hearts!

[@Milan125Videos]

Amazing. My mind is whirling at the aspect of how long he must have practiced to produce such a talent! This man is truely a genius when it comes to playing a trumpet.

[@Pharoe29]

Living Legend. Its a blessing to have great Musicians like this amongst us today.

[@MKIB7]

Ali Jackson is the best ******* drummer I've ever known and ever met. He played with my dad, Marcus Belgrave, along with Wynton, and I had a chance to meet him. KEEP ON DOING IT BIG, ALI!!!!!!!! YOUR THE BEST!

[@charlesbarry6730]

The ultimate improvisation. The head is never played. This needs a lot of skill. Bravo Wynton.

[@gregoryyancey6081]

That bass player's fingers are gonna catch on fire ! LOL

[@LuiGiSotres]

lol

[@gloriamosure9184]

Love you Winton.

[@gregnormal55.]

Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.... Stay safe!!

[@vincentitus]

my band teacher told me that he was a great trumpet player but i could not have guessed at how good he was!!when i lisanin' to him he just blew me away.....i would have no chance next to him EVER!!i am a trumpet player 2 and i sound nothin' near what he soulds like!!he's the best ver!!please rate up!!other people would see it then and they could read while loading so they dont quit out...if they did not see mine they might though......they need 2 know how good of a player WYNTON MARSALIS is bb:)

[@ibrahimmoss]

Wow. Wow! Even it this was 1935 - a time when Cherokee was being reinterpreted - this solo would have become the new standard. Very well done Wynton. Excellent.

[@donovanavery3718]

Will another horn player ever be as good as that? Tearing up Cherokee while circular breathing. Insane!

[@JuCeCortesPe]

Que extraordinaria ejecución, la secuencia de notas que realiza sin dar pausa... esta es una de las canciones en donde se denota los altibajos que hace... que velocidad... formidable!! No se puede comparar con Miles Davis...

[@RogerBiwandu]

Ali Jackson is great !!! Wynton is a trumpet God !!!

[@Pharoe29]

Circular Breathing..simply a gift from God...It just don't get any better than this. You are listening to a Real Living Legend

[@13jazzman]

This is the best I've ever heard Wynton solo!!!

[@amiranmartiashvili1151]

He is crazy. Amazing

[@fawzistanislav7310]

Wayton Marsalis, a legendary talent.....

[@BWtrp]

Awsome !!!! One of the greatest jazz musicians.

[@Playthellgb42]

THE GREATEST ARTIST ON THE TRUMPET EVER!!!!!!

[@maestrowick]

Ali jackson, drums; ben wolfe, bass

[@thissignupisretarded]

Outstanding. What a testament to all the players that is the ending. Perfect ensemble.

[@ceebeethree]

THAT'S how circular breathing should work for you. Most of us can do it holding one or two notes but not even close to that.

[@klchu]

Look for the circular breathing, i.e. breathing in through the nose while blowing out his mouth. Amazing.

[@thissignupisretarded]

As a professional Trumpet player, and already knowing what quality to expect from Wynton Marsalis, this is one of the most impressive displays of Trumpet playing I have ever seen, or heard.

[@MudStuffin]

Do you still play professionally?

[@thissignupisretarded]

@@MudStuffin Yes for 30 years now with a break during covid

[@MudStuffin]

@@thissignupisretarded that's awesome, I'm currently doing gigs but still in school at UNT

[@mrg1534]

This dude's a beast

[@benoncambie]

what i love about this video is that Wynton shuts his mouth - and just plays. Wish there was more of that.

[@pedrowerberg]

whether you liket or not he is a real genious.In my native Argentina people love the guy

[@stephenjerome3556]

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I love Wynton!

[@coolaxe-dw4840]

Totally Awesome 💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏻💪💪🏼

[@mikutakiseko2351]

holy shit

[@JmmTrumpet]

holy shit is right!

[@templarexemplar35]

+theory101 holy anus

[@zovalentine7305]

Happy Birthday Wynton Marsalis 🎶🎁🎂🎈🎉 18 October 2022🎺🌟

[@dunmer2007]

Wow not only am I witness to such a powerful trumpet player (My first Time hearing his work) But I'm also in the company of many excellent trumpet players here in the comment section! I play guitar, but I wish I would've picked up the trumpet many years ago! Thanks to all of you for keeping this music alive and well!

[@oceanrage]

John Coltrane Practiced and also had a teacher, he also took lesson his entire career. His family cites him as ALWAYS having his saxophone in hand. Call it what you may, the reality is (my personal belief) we like to put labels on things ( playing from the heart, born with talent, genius etc) to sometimes cut ourselves breaks for lack there of.

[@MyLinkedinPowerForum]

I'll never, ever forget Wynton Marsalis' mind-boggling rendition of "Cherokee"...simply incredible what he does: circular breathing, double tonguing, triple tonguing, articulation up the ying yang :-)

[@taureanirishman]

seriously, double breathing all over the place, double/tripple tonguing, gharly intonation, rips the notes at beautiful moments, nothing over done.... amazing skill... as a trumpeter myself, and a pretty damn good one in my prime, this qualifies as amazing.... anyone who thinks otherwise is simply an uneducated listener...

[@africanbella28]

Wynton is a very talented musician he reminds me of the exceptional jazz musicians in the past such as miles, coltrane, and charlie

[@Playthellgb42]

Except that Wynton is even BETTER playing the masterworks in European CLASSICAL REPETOIRE!

[@manuelnavas1152]

Eres un fenomeno no me canso de oírte.

[@ConservativeMomof3]

Such a warm tone - What talent!

[@HoboNinja2]

THAT TRUMPET LOOKS AMAZING

[@Seraf-z3o]

Невероятно!

[@knusence]

one more thing!!!the amount of control to make that SLIDE!!!!! every time i watch him perform i get a new respect for him on skill alone.. especially now after his LIP surgery!

[@WGBHMusic]

Wynton loves the WGBH Music Channel.

[@asainwannabe]

omg This has to be the best trumpet player ever... Omg and I get to see him in concert... idk even know what to say... just pure talent

[@jeffisaac8000]

I love hearing you talk about life (music)

[@Alkinoospapa]

amazing trumpet!!!

[@TheBravedigger]

i'm in love with the trumpet!

[@행복갤러리]

It's great nice played.

[@Arclite720]

There are no words to describe this cat!!!!!!!

[@JoseValentino]

Wynton played it so relaxed and melodic...then burned it up!!!!!! Awesome musician.

[@Rbattam]

Hat's off to this man and his advanced knowledge, I can't comprehend how he can think of such perfect choices in improvisation so far ahead of time, when hes already playing something so quality at the current time. What a Genius. Also what a dedicated person.

[@ernestocejas9226]

Sensillamente se toca asi cuando se escucha lo que dice el corazon (Favuloso)

[@oceanrage]

you will find an individual who sacrifices themselves, family and personal life for attainment of the greater

[@Arborwaychet]

At 2.23 ... so he is human and all the more endearing and inspiring for that.

[@randomisnotgood]

Yes, he is still alive and very healthy. He is considered one of the top jazz musicians in the world! His new Christmas album is coming out soon, so just watch out for that ;)

[@Rbattam]

and one of the most diverse soloists around. Hard to pinpoint anything that is over used anywhere in any solo you hear of his.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Hints of Miles and Diz are bursting through! Wynton is one bad dude:)

[@brucescott4261]

Pepper Williams ...Miles could not play CHEROKEE!

[@merlan114]

Reminds me of the good old days!

[@yourfamilydocter]

he has like the coolest trumpet ever with what seems like a built-in mouth peice

[@rudbeckie1]

Super! Skvělé! Díky!

[@J.E.M.E.S]

Todo un mago de la trompeta, un mago virtuoso.

[@markfdesimone]

There oughta be a LAW against this much talent. Come ON, man.

[@FunnyGA1ex]

This is like Patrick Star level of Genius

[@JFruscianteGod2]

holy shit. i always liked wynton but i never really realized that he was this good. damn

[@springfieldpublicschoolsfo9829]

wow he's awesome

[@groupieoftheyear]

dude you gotta listen to wynton when hes in his element....not saying that hes not here but listen to wynton live at the vanguard and youll see just how great he is.

[@DamaniWVK]

The drummer is Jason Marsalis, Wynton's super talented brother. Saw Jason with their Dad at the Panama Jazz Festival. Awesome.

[@llm468]

It s young Ali Jackson.

[@freespirit3600]

jazz is a beautiful thing... :)

[@lolloitaly4ever]

如癡如醉 .... 太精彩了

[@HiL1KuS09]

[@theory0723]

definitely one of the best

[@dubbacdubbac]

Circular Breathing the whole last million bars for the win!

[@wabbotttt]

Wynton Marsalis' horn was given to him as a gift from New Orleans

[@vincentjurado9576]

The devil works hard, but this rhythm section works harder

[@lluannr]

If he is tonguing all those notes... girls must love him

[@shakiahbonipart5368]

wow he can really play a trumpet fast

[@illegalbump]

That is one cool trumpet.

[@oliversmith6088]

Can we all just stop arguing for a moment? Wynton is a fantastic player.

[@dvmtb13]

Scales and arpeggios!!! wooohooooo!!!!!!

[@janvanbrug]

fantastic

[@mick7192]

may God bless Wynton Marsalis.

[@CPez]

ya, it almost reads like "never play quickly" I Feel far more when I'm playing at 350 and upwards. I don't know why, but that's just where I groove

[@hicks0416]

mind boggling...

[@Taaron313]

Ali Jackson is a beast on the drums!

[@dslunlimited]

In a word...Genius!
