Sweet Georgia Brown - Wynton Marsalis Quintet Featuring Mark O'Connor and Frank Vignola 

u said it!

What? They need sheet music for this song?? Pffffft!

Well said.

That's the divine running through their brains Into the strings, pipes and drums.

no they just work really hard and practice a lot

Agree. Top notch, as you say, but a bit soulless? And of course, you can never keep a fiddle player down!

I am tempted to give it a thumbs down. Was listening to Derek.Bailey and Evan Parker and this came up in my feed . Musicians are very adept and it is pleasant but inconsequential compared to the improvised music I had been listening to.

@@robertlepper5460 Stupid and pedantic f@$king comment.

@@robertlepper5460 you are far more sophisticated than I , but for the great unwashed masses , it fills the void ✌️

Me too I am in Jamaica enjoying this jam

!Me, too

Same here...Lets stay in and stay safe

Marcelo M ME TOO! FL

Ha!! Me too. Some of the tightest best music ever!! Just incredible

Thank you for this bit of information!

Stephane Grappelli ? ? ? ... " that" explains it all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sembrava di sentire Grappelli.

@@eddriver7815 non spiega nulla, sono diversi, diversissimi, O'Connor riprende il tipico stile dei violinisti country estendendolo all'uso di armonie con sostituzioni ecc.

Except of course Stephan Grapelli who did this, and better, for decades before Mark even picked up a violin.

⁠@@Gennettor-nc8kx Interestingly, a commenter in this comment section 10 years ago (@zenbob), stated that Stephane Grappelli was one of Mark's mentors. Mark even included him in the album “Mark's Heroes” in 1993. He toured with Grappelli for two years apparently and was mentored by him as a teenager.

@@themac6356 Nice to hear that. Alas he doesn’t have Stephan's talent. Mind you; it's excellent violin playing but not "from another planet" and there are plenty others nowadays who can do this - and better. None are as good as Grappelli though, as none of today's "Gypsy jazz" guitarists measure up to Django.

Edwards Deming "So [I say, ] those who divide fail to divide; those who discriminate fail to discriminate. What does this mean, you ask? The sage embraces things.

Actually Mark's first gig right out of high school was backing up Grapelli on guitar. He got the gig because Grapellie guitar player got sick right before the tour and David Grisman recommended Mark. Grapelli didn't know Mark played violin he thought he was just a prodigy guitar whiz till they hit the states, and someone in the audience yelled out for Mark to play violin. After the gig, Grapelli asked Mark to play some violin for him, and he was floored. For the rest of the tour Mark and Grapelli played tiger rag as a violin duo. After the tour Mark went to work playing mostly guitar with David Grisman. Mark and Stephane did a duo on tiger rag on one of David Grismans live album, can't remember it's name. Then Mark broke his skiing Grisman had to hire another guitarist, and when Mark healed up he went to work playing violin with Steve Morse. Grapellin loved Marks playing, as do many other great musicians. When I listened to his tone and phrasing on Appalachian Waltz with YoYo Ms and Edgar Meyer, I was floored it was so incredible, rivaling Grapelli at his finest.

Great play by everyone. Violine and guitar simply beyond compare and untopable. They n e e d a clarinet-man. I suggested Hamburg s Martin Schmidt-Hahn on clarinet because of his warm clarinet-sound and his ideas in improvising. Sweet G Brown is one of his favourites on clarinet !!

What about stephan graphelli?

@@wimnube8012 Hello Wim ~ I have never heard of Stephan Graphelli. I will look him up and see what was his shinning instrument. I took a peek and know that he is no longer living. SYLVIA! 5/19/21

Mark is the best here, it's not his stuff, but he have stolen the scene...it's crazy...it is a fuckin' violin.....

He always leaves one with beautiful emotions🥰 Is this your favorite tune?

Frank Vignola is INSIDE his inner flame .....which burns all the way .

Some of his work with Tommy Emmanuel is absolutely amazing! : )

Frank is amazing. And playing completely clean, no misses.

Frank gives the best support always

He's astonishing. I got to play with him once. What really got me was watching his left hand and how relaxed he is. Never seen anything like that.

Yeah man he is incredible. You might want to check a cat named Tim Lerch. Frank Vignola raves about him, which is quite the recommendation.

У. Маршалис - сеперджазмен еаших дней!!!

I agree Bold. Wynton has great time, and pocket and diction. IMHO, he took it up a couple of notches when he played. I want to learn how to keep my eyes open when I play. I was told the old guys like Stitt and Bird left their eyes open, cause at any time somebody might be jumping up to knife u or some sh**.

I can't agree more! While everyone is masterful, Wynton Marsalis is, in my honest opinion, the level above them all (especially in the swing/groove department - he is way more dimensional)

On

I understand so much ! so beautiful music !

T.J. T ... The Frank Vignola guitar🎸 is as stupendous play as I’ve ever ever heard! Just more degrees ⏫ upward than AWESOME‼️😆 es

rock dopes 'shred' over 1 chord. This is called 'improvising' over real musical language...

@@MarkInLA are you talking trash about modal jazz? Stfu

@@MarkInLA I bet you know what he meant.

Is that who's on guitar? Gotta get me some more of that!

he probably can and does

in this famous tune rendition FRANCK VIGNOLA creates a piece of anthology . He reaches inaccessible stars !

You're right.

George Watson beegie adair

Juan Bernardo Irigoyen ,9

Agradecido !!!

Mark and Stephane were band mates for a time in the early 80s in David Grisman's (post-Tony Rice) Quintet.

Marc O'Connor is very good.

Yes, that's not going too far out on a limb. ;-)

I actually thought he was better than Stephan, but a great performance all round.

They're smiling at the clams...

So is Louis Armstrong and Stuff Smith

Well how about a link to your #1?

Which are the other 4?

He's a monster, he does impossible stuff and he makes them seem like easy job....he stands out on everyone here...no contest. Wynton Marsalis knows who to call...

***** You betcha!

+LA X Well said. He's working harder than any of them.

Exactly 🙌

Carlo Enriques is a fab bass player! An awesome "rails layer!"

The whole thing sounds solid because of everyone's absolutely brilliant rhythm

yeah, indeed :)

Oh..my..sweet...Lord...Pure delight

That’s so sweet of you! Is this your favorite tune?

I saw them live, at the University of the South at Sewanee. Front row center!
