Fred Wesley Crazy Trombone Solo #2 Hanks HS Jazz Fest 

Fred Wesley is condsidered a legend in the jazz world.

the funkyest trombone player ever .

I've seen him live, and met him, and the man is a musical genius!

Go Fred, Go. Bloody fantastic, you gotta love it when the big man struts his stuff...

To bring the element of FUNK to your solo like THAT!... You, sir, are the BADDEST man on this planet.

You're right about....how can anyone dislike this guy!!

The legend himself !! long live fred !!!

The all time funk master of the BONE !!

What a badass. That's some insanely hip trombone playing right there.

Fred Wesley is one of the hottest jazz, blues, and funk soloists out there. It is amazing that a high school was able to get him for its Jazz Fest!

This guy is totally awesome. Great to see in person. He can really make that thing talk.

Now you listen to the popular music today and then listen to this and tell me who the real musician is. I think that you will find that pure awesomeness, such as this, will ALWAYS prevail. This was straight up and pure no synthesizing or auto tuning just jazz.

This is an example of TOTAL domination of the Pentatonic scale

I ♥ trombone !!!!

I just want to give him a big hug!

I love jazz on a trombone!!!!!

.....speechless....

Trombone player allllllll the way!!!! #trombonepower

one of the best solos i've ever heard on the trombone.. if any one knows of better solos, please, please, please, let me know. thank you

I need to learn to play like this

I wonder what the lowest not in this solo was....But this is where i want to go with my trombone playing...Another awsome solo

This man is unbelievable and one of my jazz heroes. I one day hope to achieve something around his standard. ^_^ but yes, his solos are the best, better than mine are of course. Woot for Fred!

Lol its Hanks High in El Paso, Tx. Hes not in our band he was a guest artist for a Jazz Fest we host every year.

this is touching the sky

This little two-second lick is just a great big bag of awesome 0:24

Man he can blow.

Yeah, what IS the song he's playing to? Man, this guy could play to any jazz and blow the world apart with his trombone...aka, he's really good. The best I've seen.

ho yes!

God made Trumbone for Fred..... LOL his the real Trumboner

Go Fred, Go...

Eee! He is so adorable!!

Massive groove right there

That's my boy !!!!!!

He definitely knows what a trombone is

I play trumpet and I enjoy it

Awsome!!!

the ones at 1:25 and 1:55 are best

love it

me to ! amaizing

That song is called "The Chicken" I played that last year in band. I also play Trombone.

well, I'm and I totally love it!

500% groove!!

Damn...... that was style

very good!!!

bravo !!!

very good

Big Daddy's playing that slide!

Watermelon man with an overdose of superfunk!!! Funk on, Fred!!!

You are jokin right? Fred is the man He set the standard on the Bone being in the forefront. Not sayin Ron is not good but don't ever put Fred down like he is a regular player. James Brown bands are just down right wild and grueling with dance steps not just standing there playin.

@RelytNosRedna I'm a sax player and I still like this :P

Tis' FUNK

i would kill to sound like him

I wonder what kind of bone he's got? looks a lot like my blessing artist. great horn. great man!

@1kivadvm I play trumpet and I liked it.

if thats true, you have to look up Ron Wilkins. I admit, this guy is a really, really good trombone player, but Ron is just amazing.

Don't know the tune, but he's just playing over the changes of a C blues.

what is the song he is jamming to?

whats this song called!

How do we call this kind of jazz? It ain't swing right? (so it don't mean a thing)

would this song happen to be hullabaloo?

your talking about THE Fred Wesley. Besides comparisons like that are dumb Its all about personal preference.

HAHA at 2:09 you can totally see me clapping backstage.

Who do those hands belong too?

soul baby, bone power!

groove?

That's not the pentatonic scale. He's not playing some chinese song up there. That's straight up blues scale.

3 people are sax players?

4 people are trumpet players

Can any one say soul?

ahhh real soul,, better than a degree from Julliard any day.. lol

HAH! THREE DISLIKES? THOSE PEOPLE MUST BE ON DRUGS

@tastycajun0381 It's hard to appreciate the "talent" of a pop musician when compared to a professional jazz musician. Especially Fred Wesley.

is he dead if not i want to meet him so he can teach me i already have a trombone so wth why not
