I love the music of Wynton Marsalis, and his late father too. This morning I heard about the passing of Ellis Marsalis, and all I can say, is that I had tears in my eyes, and I couldn't stop crying. RIP Ellis!
I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUNG DAN NIMMER'S PIANO PLAYING. BY CLOSING HIS EYES WHILE HE IS PLAYING ALLOWS HIM TO REACH DEEP INSIDE OF HIMSELF TO FEEL THE DEPTHS OF ELLIS MARSALIS' MUSIC. WONDERFUL COMPOSITION AND WYNTON MARSALIS DOES THIS PIECE GREAT HONOR. ALL OF THESE MUSICIANS PLAY MUSIC LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW AND THEY HAVE TO GET IT ALL IN TONIGHT. I LOVE THIS MUSIC. THANKS FOR SHOWING IT ON YOUTUB. KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING! SYLVIA! -FL 03/01/2021
Pianist Dan Nimmer reminds me of guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn -- he just gets in the zone and summons power from a higher source. Even Wynton's facial expression was "whoa..."
I am a huge fan of your im 17 nd im a trumpet player and rookie jazz player and a proud student of minor high school in Adamsville alabama...we dnt only have one of the a award winning marching, symphonic,concert, and two wonderful jazz bands....i would love it if would come like give a mini clinic or some to our jazz,symphonic, and concert band
Great arrangement! I wore this Fathers and Sons album out and am looking for it on RU-vid! I transcribed A Joy Forever composed by me Marsalis also. Tenors both are great, Branford first time playing Tenor on record! He played Alto with Blakey.
I got to meet up with him and it's amazing! I really hope you get a chance to meet him. He's incredibly humble and awesome. He has such a deep connection with his music it's amazing. He spoke to me about a song he was writing that was kind of like a love story but not one between a man and woman. Really hope you get to experience chatting with this jazz legend man.
Many people don’t know this, but the best musician on that stage is Jason Marsalis on Drums. I have seen him live, listened to how he plays, and he astounds me every time. While wynton has contributed so much to the jazz scene, both Ellis and I know that the unappreciated talent lies in Jason.
For those of you who haven't played much music(especially jazz), but enjoy to listen, it should be noted that Carlos Henriquez (the bassist) singing with is solo is very impressive; he is able to play the idea he is singing as it is on his bass, something that many people never come close to being able to do on any instrument.
Does the solo form start on Cmaj7 or Ebmaj7 because when they played the head they started on the Cmaj7 but during solos it feels like the top of the form is the Ebmaj7.
