Wynton Marsalis plays Buddy Bolden Blues

[@brassbandmission1643]

It is beyond me how anyone can say Wynton doesn't have a feel for this music.

[@rillloudmother]

Keith Jarrett: "Wynton imitates other people's styles too well. You can't learn to imitate everyone else without a real deficit. I've never heard anything Wynton played sound like it meant anything at all. Wynton has no voice and no presence. His music sounds like a talented high-school trumpet player to me. He plays things really, really,really badly that you cannot screw up unless you are a bad player. I've felt embarrassed listening to him, and I'm white. Behind his humble speech, there is an incredible arrogance. And for a great black player who talks about the blues - I've never heard Wynton play the blues convincingly, and I'd challenge him to a blues standoff any time. He's jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty."

rillloudmother shut up bitch

[@JamesVibe]

Keith who??? you mean that whinny piano player - who spoils every cool piece he does live when his whinny voice of his gets in the way. Please...... Wynton is like a Ferrari - when he opens up the throttle watch out!!!! And damn man - give this House on This morning a listen

[@rillloudmother]

@@JamesVibe I think i some of the resentment stems from wynton's public criticism of miles early in his career also.

[@ramoncruz2179]

it’s crazy to hear the differences in tone when he plays jazz vs when he plays classical

[@NormanGillerAuthor]

I cannot believe the critical tone to several of these comments. Wanton should be beyond reproach. He puts so much back into the jazz world that has been his life. Thank you Wynton for keeping the sounds of jazz alive and swing in'. From a UK admirer.

[@croquet44]

A lot of people forget the state of Jazz (at least in the UK)when Wynton Marsalis arrived on the scene back in the 1980s. Great musicians struggled to make any kind of decent living. There was real excitment when he emerged and a boost in confidence that Jazz had a future, which many musicians benefited from. He may not be the most innovative player, but he has made a considerable contribution to reviving its fortunes compared to the nadir of the late 1970s.

[@wythetrumpet6419]

I love that Wynton! Between his trumpet and his historical knowledge about the development of the blues and jazz; there will never be another like him!

I listen to this video clip a couple of times every week. I need that. It is so good.

Marsalis is so brilliant and I love this particular tune.

[@kevinelliott5823]

3 days into learning trumpet, THIS is my first song I want to learn🎺🙌💙

[@nathanjackson3730]

That last phrase he played is so nice. Heard him play it in another video where he uses “Happy Birthday” to demonstrate improvisation to a crowd. Really great player man, I think he’s a cool guy. I’ll make sure when he’s gone, he’ll never be forgotten 👌🏾

I still love returning to listen to this every now and then. Feels good to hear the real deal played in the real way.

[@lovebetterthanwar484]

This is Great ! Greater than life it self! Melody and groove at the same time like its nobodys business....with just a trumpet !

[@barbonestreet]

What? No feel for older styles of jazz? Compared to whom? The man is fantastic and has done more for jazz, older styles and newer styles than all of his detractors combined. Examine your own jealous nature before you criticize him.

[@D7flat5]

Beautiful in every way

[@buddyboldenlegacyband2982]

I think that Mr. Marsalis is a great player and I believe his love for N.O's. music real and genuine..then I know that many musicians don't love him so much..for many reasons...Anyway..nobody can honestly deny that he is a great player and an excellent entertainer ..The title of the song he played is makin' runs, it was recorded the first time in 1942 by Bunk Johnson. A journalist asked him to give a demonstration of Bolden's style and Bunk did it whistling this melody included the breaks (runs). It's probable, but not certain, that it was a Bolden's composition.

I with you on this one. This tune was the first tune Wynton was taught, however if you youtube "Buddy Bolden blues" it isn't this.

[@lsrproductionsentertainmen248]

Yessss... good music, thick with our culture!

[@gpaulisan]

what?in this video he s pure like pops.and in all the videos he swings hard imo

[@mahboy08]

I've been looking for this video!! Thanks for posting!

[@nokijanuar]

Did anyone knows why his trumpet sound muffled? Warm and not loud. Sounded like using cup mute. Is the technic or the mouthpiece?

[@johnsurs22]

@bixntram Whatever it is called, I think that this was Buddy Bolden's most famous song and the one he used to play most often. I guess the basic melody was passed on by trumpet players over the years until it could finally be recorded by someone. If you type in "Buddy Bolden" in the search box, you'll find a video about Buddy Bolden taken from Ken Burns' movie "Jazz." In the background, you can hear a slightly different version of this song being played

[@МихаилМеренков-у8х]

Марсалис талантище и умничка. Джаз который он играет это для дома, для жизни. На сцене это другой джаз - коммерческий. Спасибо Ему огромное за то, что хранит традиции!!!

great wynton great one!

[@JuanFecit]

Gracias por compartirlo.

[@MrRezillo]

Great playing. is this BUDDY BOLDEN BLUES, as opposed to BUDDY BOLDEN'S BLUES, with the apostrophe and and the S? I can't put the name on what he's playing on, but I think it's the changes to Louis' solo on Cornet Chop Suey. In any case, it's certainly not Jelly Roll's famous tune.

[@benjamineastwood5616]

[@Misterslidedropper]

Marsalis isn't an innovator.He lives by tradition and passes it on.He learned every style made so far,but with a big respect for the History.Is he bad for reminding others how Boldon played? Because Buddy is kinda Dead.Isn't this Honoring him? My teacher told me; First Imitate(learn history) then Assimilate (make your own)Then Innovate (make into new stuff). I think Marsalis has a big ego but you got to give him credit for Passing the rich tradition on to a wide audience.(on an academic level)

[@johndowson7929]

He sounded like he had tired chops , it's all good though I mean he wouldn't have tired chops if he wasn't playing. I play tenor trombone played it for a good 30 odd years then a curve ball came n I had so I thought to give up playing , I gave up for over 15 yrs , two years ago I learnt it is possible to play at a decent standard so I picked it up again , I do get tired quick though frustrating yes but worth the frustration , playing a whole different technique this time round cause of no teeth , perseverance with lots of fails in practise , managing play time with rests works up to a point the rest ( endurance) will come as time passes by , that's the theory and tunes such as this jazz standard become a standard on any jazz players play list

[@glennmiller2005]

what is this song actually called, it's not buddy bolden's blues..

[@juanmatorresmusic]

Makin' Runs

[@underlord1236]

I know him

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

a con? that means fake, or criminal. his playing is real and live. you can't deny his playing. i guess old Art Blakey didn't know shit about jazz and hired fakes? i heard Wyn play some shit with bobby mcferrrin that was as original and sweet and musical as anything anybody ever played. he talks a lot of blah blah, but his playing is nearly perfect, in any style. nobody's re-inventing jazz every 5 years like miles supposedly did. show me where they are, please cuz i haven't heard it yet.

[@GBUKMilo]

I think he was just trying to find something for black culture to identify with. He was right, "jazz" was originally created in American and pioneered by black musicians and culture.

[@MrRezillo]

On what basis do you make the statement that this was Buddy Bolden's most famous song? There is absolutely no reference to it in Donald Marquis biography of Bolden - or anywhere else - And no, it's not just "whatever it's called." Two different tunes. Buddy Bolden's Blues, written by Jelly Roll in the '30's is the one commonly known and played. This one is just something Wynton is calling BB's Blues based on a totally different chord progression.

[@glennmiller2005]

i guess haters gotta hate

[@DavidJohnson-vp3zp]

The guy below me is a hater.

[@RolandDeAragon]

Buddy Bolden did not invent jazz. There is no known recordings or evidence of this. It's just a claim. The history is clear that Nic LaRocca with the Original Dixieland Jazz Band were the real dixieland jazz musicians. Even Wynton couldn't refute it in the Kens Burn Jazz doc, all he could say was, "It was race."

[@mohitoness]

So I guess oral history means nothing to u. I guess u think because people didn’t write books about how to walk properly until the last half century that makes u think people didn’t know how to walk properly before ? Lol

[@RolandDeAragon]

@@mohitoness He's not the only one they claim that invented jazz. There are others. He's definitely a pioneer of jazz. You gotta look at the evidence. If there was a trial and the jury was honest and not bias, he would lose the case simply because the evidence does not add up.

[@mohitoness]

@@RolandDeAragon that's already a more toned down argument which is nice, not sure how the jury is thinking of this cross examination so far tho lol. i think the fact that jelly roll wrote the buddy bolden blues and jelly roll himself claimed to invent jazz really says something. in the ken burns doc they tell a little bit about how everyone was affected when buddy went mad. but there's more info on that out there. louis liked la roca but king oliver was not paying attention to la roca. neither was kid ory who was playing his six piece ten years before odjb. kid ory was discovered by buddy bolden but he was still too young to play with buddy. that's how much longer buddy was doing his thing. to say he wasn't far ahead of his time in establishing the music is a great shame

[@RolandDeAragon]

@@mohitoness I'm willing to change my mind, but hear say is not enough in a non bias trial. There's no recording nor sheet music, it's just a bunch of historians making claims. I'm sure Bolden could find someone who could write his music down, because I believe he couldn't read music. I'm a jazz musician of 30 years and I would have to hear the music of all 3 (Bolden, La Rocca, Morton) to draw a conclusion because I would compare compositional styles. Was he a founding father? I'll buy that, but thee founding father of Jazz. Nope. La Rocca and Jelly Roll have to duke it out.

[@ChristiernAlbertson]

Wynton is a highly over-rated opportunist who has great technique and no feeling for the music. His alleged status in the jazz world is 99% hype.

[@mrsullivan]

Giving a little love to Mr. Marsalis huh?

[@y34r]

i would agree that he's opportunist , he is over obsessed with his strict term that jazz shouldn't be used to call music after bebop era. He said jazz is for dancing and entertaining ppl , thus his music and improvisation strives for old-school sound even before bebop , the likes of buddy bolden or sidney bechet. But to say that he has 'no feeling' for music is exaggerating, His music is full of passion, Listen to his band ,esp the band which consist of brass ,wood wind plus rhythm section. Listen to his solo on his father's tune 'Swinging at the haven' on Marsalis Family concert. Hype? Of course ,maybe abit ,but not 99% like you said
