As a trumpet player, And had the privilege of meeting and playing with him, He influence me and lot of musician. His music will live forever! RIP MY BROTHER! Patches
This was at North Sea Jazz Festival, 2008. Justin Robinson (alto sax); Roy Hargrove (flugelhorn, trumpet); Orrin Evans (piano); Danton Boller (double bass); Montez Coleman (drums).
Wynton discovered Roy. To be fair to Wynton he has represented the music and us very well. Jazz musicians and the music was not respected or treated well in the late 70's and 80's even when there was a resurgence. Wynton helped to change that. You don't hear many stereotypes of drug addict jazz Men anymore do you?
Yesss brothers Wynton heard a bird that could fly as far into the spiritual heavens of African American Classical music as he desired to.Roy Hargrove "topflight" RIP
Why do some listeners feel they have to diss Wynton Marsalis to uplift Roy Hargrove? I've heard it many times. They have different playing styles, but they are both great and represent the music 100 percent. Wynton's greatness is that he heard Roy and recognized his talent. So why some listeners want to diss Wynton is beyond me.
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Asher Francisco thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Yeah-I love it when dudes play slow---I love it when they play fast too.I think that maybe we should take note when dudes do both...not just one or the other.
I sincerely wish the angels would whisper into the souls of creative people... And sway them away from the FALSITY of drug use. I curse the son-of-bitch persons that gave Roy his first hit of cocaine and alcohol. Roy was beautiful here. May he rest in the bosom of Yahweh.
This is really great, I love it! Is this there a studio recording of this song on any of Roy's albums? I would love to hear another version of this tune. Anybody know?
I'm learning to love jazz, but with few exceptions, I just can't get into sax. Especally solos..most of them have a nails-on-chalkboard effect on me. Loved this tune but once the sax came in I had to mute it, lol. I guess I "don't get it".
I get you man, on this recording in particular! I was a little jarred by the sax solo, especially after such a spacious and illustrious head.. but before I concluded my judgment, I have to remember that it's ultimately up to me whether or not I believe in what he's saying over the topic (metaphorically and literally speaking). It's all subjective, but he's entitled to make his statement in whatever fashion he felt in that moment.
I don't think so! He has a few songs that u won't find on any of his recordings, but he performs them live. By his account, he became kinda disenchanted with recording. It makes no money & he'd rather give u the live experiemce. I'm sorry I never got to see him live.
