Wow the baritone is on fire
Marcus's solo is pure genius
Love the "jazz conversation" of instruments!
the sax interplay is on another level of fire
awesome composition Victor Goines
Bring me back to twenties.
Well, I think the name here's referring to the massive racial inequality that all the African-American jazz musicians suffered at the time even as they were being elevated to an unparalleled level of celebrity. That and the huge wealth gap that existed in the twenties behind the "Gilded Age" facade. So not everything about the twenties was great I guess.
Actually, if you watch the whole uncut video, Victor explains that this piece represented presidents Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding and how they were so different as leaders. While straining to have a conversation, Harding said that he would like to have a pet elephant and Wilson responds that he hopes the elephant isn't white (whatever that means). I think the elephant in the room refers to the obvious dissonance between the two leaders (despite them trying to have a nice conversation) as well as to the aforementioned elephant.
Holy shit those solos were tight
5:54 drums and sax were tight as hell
6:30
7:02 we hear you back there Carlos
@@jonathanwoo6507 first he said “Ey ey ey, ey ey ey ey!!!” And then a few moments later he says “okay we’re done, we’re done”
Carlos is always back there 😅
no comments for marcus printup? amazing
@@elladodd8361 He is a JLCO and so he has to be amazing.
Had the opportunity to meet Jon Irabagon a few weeks back. He’s a fantastic player, amazing speaker, and one of the most humble jazz players I’ve met. Hoping to hear something like this again!
Why is the combination of horns, reeds, and drums so magical?
Great example of connecting the notes from one intrument to the next; the flow is beautiful, harmonious and perfectly executed. fun episode where counter point was made fun with; the improvisation was more real and fun for me too. Most of the song only two players at a time, the drummer and another, except the pick up and chorus. With the two players, the next instrument coming in had to pick up and go for it. Awesome fun performance!! Thank you!!! Joanne Thomas
oh bravo! just bringing a smile to my face over and over! wonderful playing!
Amazing!!!!
Paul Nedzela gets a medal for best comeback 7:02 😂😂
Ho yeah !!!
Magnifique!!!
7:02 I love it
son unos grandes!!! tienen que pasar por Argentina algún día!!!
Swingin' and tight in the pocket!
I agree
I dont know how they do it, but the passage at 7:43... interaction is just so perfect, respect.
I believe that was a written part since Nedzela is sitting and Irabagon seems to be looking at his sheet music
@@legoblox01 maybe. I think it might have been the chord changes because John just got the sheet music a couple hours before
@@gangstakittie7699 it was written.
7:44 Wynton done goofed.
wynton like "damm, next time"
Anyone happen to know the chord changes in this piece? Awesome composition by the way
The piece is based on a minor blues in G minor.
Does anyone know the setup that the baritone player is using? His sound is fantastic!
Rpc rollover mouthpiece with size 3 ddarrio reeds
7:22
A TOMATE CRU NESSA PORRA!
That pesky tenor keeps interupting the bari sax. BariSaxRuules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wowwwwww no words !!!
Paul looked irritated when Jon played over his solo. Also at 7:44 you can see pure disapproval of how the trumpets played
it made for a good dueling
