The real masters of jazz. Perfect solo's, and we are not even mentioning the incredible bass. Always keeping the tempo rolling and making sure that everyone can do what they want. Along with the piano of course! Listening this makes me happy :D
Ho sentito centinaia di versioni ,di questo brano....devo dire che l'esecuzione e meravigliosa e la qualita' di questa formazione e' altissima; in tutti i suoi elementi
Charles Barry yep, what caught my ear is the super wide vibrato. Perfect for this style of playing, I highly recommend giving the whole 2009 jazz in marciac video a watch!
Wynton plays a clam at 5:13! (And then looks inside his horn to see if there's a gremlin in there!) I'm absolutely astonished only because it's the sole sign these people are mere flesh and blood and not wheel-turning kings from the realm of devas.
The stop-time break into the tenor saxophone solo is reminiscent of Sidney Bechet's opening to his multi-tracked recording of the tune in 1941. The riff the other horns play behind the solo is also taken from Sidney's recording. Nice obeisance to history.
Holy crap ive never seen a band tighter than this not once does anything feel pit of place, even the random off notes thrown in feel like they belong, like it’s meant to be there
One of those saxophones is an alto and there is also a tenor as well as a soprano (the straight one). Too many people forget that saxophones come in all shapes and sizes and these guys know how to handle them too.
FOR MONTHS i have not been able to concentrate but when this music comes up my mind is finally silenced and i can just listen --> i love rhytmical peace !!!
This rendition of The Shiek of Araby has it all... I hear elements of 3 major popular songs: Mack the Knife, Chicago, and I Left My Home in San Francisco... Amazing, incredible arrangement and musicianship by all. Makes my heart sing every time I hear it, and I listen to this often. It just makes me so happy 😊 ❤
Great musicainship as one might expect but not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. And that's because the actual tune is - to me at least - hardly discernable. If I didn't know it was the Sheik of Araby, not sure it would immediately obvious from simply listening.
You actually make a fair point, the main melody doesnt come in until 5:20 when the tenor brings it in, everything up to that point is soloing over the changes, which is pretty in style for a second line type rendition on any tune
Almost too perfect, New Orleans jazz played by robots, a wonderful technique with little feeling.. I would rather hear less perfect musicians who have some soul.
Mugshot maybe you should listen deeper to what they're trying to say with their notes and inflection rather than waste your time posting bad opinions, might catch more and enjoy it better
