Its 2022 and this piece is timeless. Sounds just as good as it did in 89. I am watching this video for the first time and my love of jazz has exploded that much more after hearing all of the colors in this piece. To see just a few of jazz legends chilling together and having fun is the best thing to see.
Shigeharu Mukai is one of the best trombonist on earth!. He still plays in festivals in japan these days. you should take a look at his discography if you're interested, specially "Spacing Out" and "Hip Cruiser"
Kudos to Bobby Watson for finding the time to stalk and chatting up a girl from the audience during Don Sickler's solo. Listening to his solo blowing through circular breathing, one might successfully argue against all healthy issues attributed to cigarettes.
Hazen Lewis i'm not that good at transcribing (i don't usually use musical notation) and i'll do it by hand; so there will be mistakes but i can scan it for your and sent it through email
@@HazenLewis i give up i just tried the first 4 bars and he goes all over the register, he doesn't fit inside 5 lines only. i'll learn it by ear, sheet music is an obstacle
I'm really digging this 'bone solo. Whether or not it's intentional, going on/off-mike like he does adds color to things. On a song like "Blue Bossa," which has been done to death in just about every beginning jazz group on the planet, you've got to find something to call your own. Mukai really builds the energy, which for an end-of-evening jam is exactly what you want.
@@geraldnichols2722 Shigeharu Mukai played some of his very best in the '70s, with Japan musicians like Kazumi Watanabe, Terumasa Hino, Takeo Moriyama and the likes. He really is the Japan Trombine Master. Fly Little Bird, Head Wind (1974) and Spacing Out (1978) some of his best recordings. Knowing which this fine performance is no wonder
A COISA MAIS LINDA NESSA JAM ´É COMO ELES TOCARAM COM EMOÇÃO, AMOR A MUSICA, E FELIZES DE ESTAREM JUNTOS!!!, O TROMBONISTA JAPONES ME LEMBROU OS TROMBONISTAS AQUI DO BRASIL TOCANDO FELIZES NOS BAILES NAS GAFIEIRAS MARAVILHOSO!!!
Bobby Watson is blazing. He's got so much to say musically and there's an intensity and urgency to it that is simply overwhelming. Having said all of that, as in this clip, he had to have the 'last word' on the solos. Thanks for the post!
Simeon Davis As a former trombone player, I can attest it is difficult to keep the instrument steady while playing it. It simply comes down to the mechanics.
the horns with great stage presence, trpt- had a definite plan while he solo'd, the trombone was full of passion, the sax tore it up with the 16th and circular breathing. The worse part was the drummer which had good style but a fill every other measure, even while the solo's where going on made it difficult for everyone to fall in the grove. the drummers job is to keep the groove not solo through and entire song.
I guess its a taste thing. For me personally whilst the alto sax solo was technically brilliant it did nothing to serve the music, and much the same for the trombone. Again for me personally the trumpet solo was a class above the others. But jazz is a broad church with widely different tastes. I admire and envy the alto's dexterity and skill but aspire to play more like the trumpeter, a more melodic and accessible form of jazz. All merely in my own personal opinion of course.
