So, sad but, yet beautiful sounds. A tune that is common in New Orleans for funeral as a farewell for the dead. They celebrate with joy as the living pass on.

I love Wynton and how polite he is about soloists and how he makes them the center of attention

[@ItsCurtis96]

Outstanding, Wycliffe killed it!

[@davisc1926]

I agree, really enjoyed Wycliffe's solo! Wynton's solo sounded like a battle between good and evil; or in this case life and death. I assume this was the first part of a New Orleans Function, is there another video to follow?

[@eky]

Wynton's solo is a commentary that jazz at this stage is pulled between two extremes of nonsensical free jazz and pentatonic blues

[@mst7155]

I m not s musician. What is pentatonic blues, please? Some examples if you don't mind.

[@jaredmercado7045]

@@mst7155 such a thing, called google, exists

[@enzolescure5833]

@@mst7155 A scale is a set of notes that musicians play together to evoke a particular feeling. For example, the major scale is quite "happy" and the minor scale is more "sad". The pentatonic blues scale is a scale that is particularly easy to play and make sound good.

I am so glad others understand this because my friend heard this song and told me his solo was bad and all i could tell him is that he doesn’t understand

I searched for another song, and now I'm here and can't stop hearing.....

I don't think anyone other than Wynton could pull off that solo. But man does he pull it off.

This band is one of my favorites. I like Winton Marsalis how he presents himself and how he and his band play. Every musician is a great artist. But ist that still New Orleans Jazz or an other style? Anyway I like it very much.

This is the Jazz of Death

[@fernandocondesangenis6944]

Só mesmo Wynton Marsalis para recordar esse registro The Death of Jazz (das cerimônias em New Orleans. Os músicos, como o trombonista são maravilhosos. Vale a pena escutar, principalmente, agora, em plena pandemia do COVID.19 um terror para o Orbe Terrestre... Com o Jazz fica uma uma esperança "da música de qualidade e muito bom gosto" ! Saludos desde Brazil.

[@NoName-tq7qc]

I wish Wynton played more of this than his 'too many' solos or his ultra-conservative jazz. This reminds of The Clown. Humor made this real good.

[@chameleonj892]

Wycliffe played his solo proper! Im a HUGE Wynton fan and have been since I was 7 years old believe it or not! But I'm sorry to say...his solo was confusing...Im not sure what he was trying to convey through his story. Usually he has a real defined and direct story to tell in his playing. All of those high, "filthy" notes in his solo didn't quite make since to me. Wish he would've went Wycliffes route and played the hell out of the blues (like he can)!

[@trevorsikorski6040]

Think about it. He was conveying a musical conversation between two types of musicians found in the modern era. You have the finger blasting loud and obnoxious musicians who are currently poisoning music as a whole, then you have the cool, calm and collected, wise jazz musician trying to explain to the other how music should really be conveyed, only to be rudely interrupted by the squealing hot-head. No matter how hard the cool wise voice tried to educate the arrogant one, they could never get through to them. Hence, the death of Jazz.

[@calebjohnson2822]

Trevor Sikorski I thought it was more like a conversation between an inconsolable sobbing woman and a soothing, reassuring voice, matching more with the theme of grief and mourning established by Gordon and Goines’ solos.
