Wynton Marsalis Orchestra - Summertime (performed by Olivier Franc) - HQ

Version of Summertime played by Olivier Franc at Jazz in Marciac 2009.
I have uploaded it because existing version on KZbin is not so good and this performance deserve better.

[@TheClassyArchitect]

I love that he’s just chilling with his legs crossed and having a great time.

[@joeoc7762]

Wynton’s “ah” just shows how good it really is

[@edwarddesenne6153]

Olivier has mastered so well how to play with Bechet‘s vibrato, true he uses the same original vintage Buescher Model Bechet which belonged to Bechet himself !

[@zackm.d6265]

I discovered Bechet after hearing this and now it all makes sense!

[@user-bl3ob7jz4v]

Его инструмент стоит дороже автомобиля ))

[@DeputyDerp77]

The emotion he puts into this is amazing

[@anthonywilliams6764]

Olivier Franc is without doubt the finest soprano saxophone player in the noble genre of Bechet Jazz Music. His playing has the highest technical quality and most importantly, his technique never strays into the realm of intellectual intrusion. One of the qualities of Franc's musical approach, is to subordinate his technique in order to reveal the unrevealed discipline of humility that is an essential part of a great artists contribution to his chosen Art. Olivier Franc shows deep understanding of what makes art , and separates Art from artifact. He has no peers in this, he is the outstanding player of this generation.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I see you like Sidney Bechet. I have 20 hours of unreleased Sidney Bechet's music. I'm coming in New York in april or may 2023. See you soon. Olivier.

[@ytpanda398]

@@countbasiedonlambert Will you be in the UK anytime soon? I would love to finally watch a live performance

[@AUGUSTALLEN28]

He completely commanded the instrument. that was inspiring.

[@justbeamensch]

One never commands the soprano saxophone, some folks get it to do what you respectfully ask it to do.

[@AdrianPaco]

This is one of the best songs of all times.

[@almanac520]

yeah, quintessential sax piece

[@biddibee3526]

Yes indeed

[@AustinCasey]

Man, choose a better thumbnail... this video deserves a better thumbnail :/

[@REXOZero]

Don't mind me, I'm just here for my monthly view.

[@Han-Wook]

Can anyone tell me what he does at the end with his left hand close to the mouthpiece? its seems he changes something in order to do that glissando at the end... really wanna know how to do that!!

[@TuTuChief]

Is he not just turning the register key? It does certainly sound like it.

[@adticoalu]

From what I can tell, Mr. Franc basically was making sure the octave vent pad wasn't sticking so he can execute the gliss nice and clean. He's using an older Buescher True Tone soprano (which previously belonged to his mentor, the great Mr. Sidney Bechet). The older style octave key lever mechanism can get somewhat tricky to execute during certain passages. Also, the possibility of the pad sticking due to moisture from playing could also add another bump to overcome. So quickly pressing down the lever right below the upper octave key to manually open it up can somewhat help overcome the obstacle.

[@johnnavarro9169]

Crikey that was tasty

[@Anonymous594]

1:09 says it all🤣

[@wanaliff8395]

0:25 Uh

[@hype2murderugaming]

I got to ask, what is he grabbing/fixing on the neck?

[@joannac4560]

I was wondering that too

[@shernandez300]

very old saxophone, he is probably just ensuring that moisture doesn’t let the pad stick and therefore accidentally stay stuck closed when he goes to hit a certain note

[@robinharris2357]

Absolutely Hot, Hot, Hot

[@loganready5634]

I think he uses way too much vibrato, It would sound way better if all his notes weren't chopped up.

[@nathanyouwanker]

He's trying to sound like sidney bechet

[@karlsworowski3437]

What do you think about a blue tie?

[@Sphagetti__]

@@nathanyouwanker His mentor was Sidney Bechet. Apart from maybe Bob Wilber there is nobody who gets this close to Bechet's sound

I'm sorry, but not a big fan of his "fast" vibrato.

Terrible soprano tone/vibrato 😱👎

[@tazpoochie]

Your an idiot

[@edwarddesenne6153]

Now listen to Bob Wilber , who was Sidney Bechet‘s first pupil and they recorded together , who only died last August aged 98, who technically had a much more advanced technique than Olivier Franc who could emulate Bechet just as well but also developed jazz soprano sax playing to a much higher level with his colleague Kenny Davern in their unique group called “ Soprano Summit “

[@kvorpvik]

@@edwarddesenne6153 There’s allways(?) someone better somewhere, but I think Olivier Franc gave a really good performance!

[@marcusschneider4411]

" negro vibrato " like Sidney Bechet in soprano sax and lester Young on tenor !!!!!
