As a Trombonist for 20 years I can assure you it is NOT easy to play that high, with that rhythm, with that pitch. This man truly deserves to be called a legend!!!
"I have played trombone for 3 years and keyboard for 5 years. Currently learning Viola and violin. TRUST ME, KEYBOARD IS MUCH EASIER THAN VIOLIN" Your own words, from your quora profile. Take that, asshole.
When you say not easy, that is an understatement. To do it live, while improvising, and nail it on your first and only chance, is impossible. Wycliffe Gordon is not human.
have you ever done marching band because that's what you're describing right now while I agree Wycliffe Gordon is top 5 best trombones the high notes weren't that impressive@@coopersanders2340
+k9m42 my trombone lesson teacher steered me to watch this after i taught HIM how to do the poly-something or other (singing into the trombone while playing) which i learned to do while screwing around.

I've work with Wycliffe. Such a great guy. His philosophy is: if you can sang is, you can play it. Yes, sang it, he doesn't say sing it, he says sang it. So start sanging if you wanna sound like Wycliffe.
1:03 - 2:00 One of the most beautiful versions of Wonderful World I have heard. Every note is perfectly placed, and right where it should be. Wycliffe = G.O.A.T
Not that difficult. I couldn't make a sound on a reed instrument, or any other instrument for that matter, until I picked up a trombone many years ago. From that point on, all it took was time, time and practice. The instrument starts to feel like it's an extension of yourself. It becomes natural, part of you.
Just saw him play this weekend at Generations in Jazz at Mt Gambier, South Australia. Not only is he an absolute master of the trombone, he's also a great entertainer.
I thought I knew how to play the trombone, but I see now that I know nothing in comparison to this trombone genius. Five Stars and may God Bless him forever !!!
He did a lick from Teagarden's Stars fell on Alabama! Nice.. The king of T-bone! Wycliffe has for sure developed his own unique style, great triple tonguing
I always say that the best musicians have their own different way of playing. That special voice is like another name for them. Wycliffe Gordon is no exception. That just shows that there is no one set way to play an instrument. Do what fits you the most, and if it sounds good, keep working on it!
Sticks For Sale I managed to be able to repeat it a few weeks ago and I've only played two years, however I'm sure you have a much better tone than me.
+Nick Warmuth Shame on you for not knowing. I have been playing the Trombone for over 30 years. The Definition of an octave is a progression of eight notes on a musical scale, or the notes at the beginning and end of the progression. Two Musical notes which are eight tones apart on a scale are an example of an octave. Anyone who practice their scales both major and minor should know this. Especially a trombonist who has been playing for 9 years.
+Leonard I definitely know what an octave is. I just have never heard the term "third octave". I assume that's the notes from C3 to B3 which isn't that impressive of a range. It's not even up to middle C.
This guy goes through one trombone every 30 minutes because by 30 minutes, the trombone turned into gold. He can't use the gold trombone because not even a gold trombone is worthy.
By being a small bore instrument it is easier to reach the high notes, and if it had a trigger then it would be a lot more difficult to reach notes so high
Very much like "What a Wonderful World" - question - what is with the 65 nimrods that gave this thumbs down? Don't like music? Don't enjoy happiniess? Joy? Life? Miserable misanthropes...
In high school I used to play higher notes on my trombone then our best trumpet player, he was 1st chair state, I was only 1st chair regionals. Didn't realize how good I was until college played for my classes and books. Good times
I’m the only person in my music class that practices at home and am the best trombone player in my music class. Everyone else just copies off my songs because I wrote down the positions under the notes, and they ask me to practice for them, and tell me to write down the positions under their notes. I hope they get 1s (the lowest grade in my elem school.) I should really tell my music teacher this!
2:00 Legend has it this is how members of the rare species 'Legendary Trombonist' communicate. It is impossible for humans to comprehend the emotion they convey to others of their kind using this language.
The smooth sound in the second piece is absolutely mind boggling

He makes playing in that high Bb range look effortless
Is it possible to learn this power?

Damn I’m so bad at playing that high and he does it as if it was nothing
that’s because it is easy

Trombone Fun Fact: The trombone has the potential of being the loudest non-electric instrument
Trombone fun fact: Old trombones were called sackbuts
what about a 9 foot concert grand or a subcontrabass sax ?
@@florist309 Nope. Believe it or not. A man with large lungs on a trombone can probably make your eardrums explode and send you to the ER.
Avery Calhoun can confirm. Mr Gordon teaches my jazz class, and he def doesn’t hold back when he plays lol
One of my section leaders has powerful lungs and is bass trombone and it hurts my head.
He makes the trombone look so small lmao

Hahahahahahaha you are really not, i said that before 2 years, and i today see how much i mistake. This is now funny, this guy is not playing!
Lol me too
Please do you know what kind of trombone he's using?
They don't teach you how to play like this in band class !
U learn to play like this by gettin private lessons, or college, i believe
you have to listen to more music and follow your ears.
@SinisterMinister *wont try
first you need a good trombone player!
No definitely won't not can't. Only thing separating you from him is hours of practice.
My friend: Talking to girls is easy!

I said a lop bam roney. Wibba da zap. Bobba da bap. A hot trom-boney
So thankful that our Jazz Band got to have some instructional time with this legend

This is a good video to get trombonists jealous lmao, Wycliffe is amazing.
Check out Jack Teagarden on YT,, He will blow your mind!

BushmasterXM15E2S Trombones, just like most brass, except the French horn, can be played by putting your lips together and blowing
Then how the heel do you play the horn?!?!
Omg...Wycliffe Gordon and David Childs playing practically together........so amazing
0:46 tryin to get that high note be like
The Mighty Lion Quite Literally
Now THATS SOUL, ENERGY AND LIFE PUT IN TO THAT RIGHT THERE
Just saw him play this weekend at Generations in Jazz at Mt Gambier, South Australia. Not only is he an absolute master of the trombone, he's also a great entertainer.

Way down town in New Orleans
+Mr Smuggle remember the double bass player?
Is he going to be there next year?
God, I love him in Jazz, such a personal when he plays. The trombone is his voice! Well done
hooooh my god, that second piece was freaking gorgeous
I thought I knew how to play the trombone, but I see now that I know nothing in comparison to this trombone genius. Five Stars and may God Bless him forever !!!
He did a lick from Teagarden's Stars fell on Alabama! Nice.. The king of T-bone!
Wycliffe has for sure developed his own unique style, great triple tonguing
I see that the band is simply shocked for how good he is at singing
I always love seeing an incredible group of players like Cory Band accompanying an incredible soloist like Wycliffe!
Some musicians play musical instruments, others are the essence of music.
WOW! What a gift! He's amazing!
I wouldn't be hesitant to say Wycliffe is one of the best in the world. His music is moving in a way that other players just can't replicate.
I used to play trombone for years in school and was always first chair. I wish I would've kept it up. This guy is amazing!
The duality of trombone man
Goes from crazy jazz to sweet relaxing tune to ASHOODADIDIDIDIDILILIDI to an alarm clock and back to the jazz
this guy is legendary
Amazing...what a very beautiful solo..glissando frullatto too, also! The King of Trombone!!!
This musician is very good. He has the mastery of his trombone. I liked
Legend doesn't begin to describe it!
This guy is the best trombone player!
Tenho que viver mais umas dez vidas para tentar tocar igual.
Muito bom, Bravo.
Wow he truly blew me away! So much beauty in this instrument :)
Mr Gordon puts the soul into his interpretations. Beautiful Orchestra
What a great night remember it like yesterday. Amazing.
Stellar Performance........Unbelievable breath control and position accuracy.....So blessed !!
oh. my. god. This man's trombone speaks more than a thousand words.
Wy is one of a kind!
As a trombonist who has been playing for 10 or so years I can say this much
Playing like this takes years to be good at
hes the reason I love jazz. hopefully I become good as him. doubt it tho 😂😢
Man, still haven't figured out how to do that bubble type ripping, up and down, like damn it's so cool!
Figure it out yet?
Roll your r’s while playing

Wow! love that man. Incredible! Lip splitting.,
0:37 that high F! (F5) wow
lessons for 9 years. I just got that note to come out about two weeks ago.
+Sticks For Sale after a year of lessons I got it lol, that's the one thing I got going for me tho...
Sticks For Sale I managed to be able to repeat it a few weeks ago and I've only played two years, however I'm sure you have a much better tone than me.
I've only been playing for 4 years and I can get that note pretty easily... (with the price of a 30 second headache)
I don't take lessons though...
I love this video so much I can't stop watching it :´>
Legend indeed, what a fabulous musician.
had no idea one could flutter tongue 0:45 w/brass trombone! wow LOVE it ... almost like 'husky jazz voice' done so fast
Some of it is flutter tounging, most of it is growling in the back of the throat.
saw him live at the jen jazz festival in Atlanta, he's a really cool guy!!
Omg! Incredible. Playing a trombone in the 3rd octave is a task in itself. Hats off.
+Leonard What do you mean playing in the third octave? I've played trombone for 9 years and am majoring in it and have never heard of that.

I think he meant the C above the middle C haha
This guy goes through one trombone every 30 minutes because by 30 minutes, the trombone turned into gold. He can't use the gold trombone because not even a gold trombone is worthy.
that means the microphone is also not worthy...
So what happens when Joe Alessi even looks at a trombone then?
Turns into silver
even the audience turns into gold
Does anyone know if Wycliffe ever used a plunger? Especially in Dis Moanin
Phenomenal, I wish I was this good. Love it.
Holy crap that's so nice!
Very good. thanks.
Amaaazingggg 👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙
I always heard when gordon was playing like hes trying to be heard over a nuclear explosion. I never knew he could sound so beautiful.
Высший пилотаж, виртуозная импровизация, браво!
I did not know this Dynamo was out there tearing up the trombone!!!!!
Amazing!
dá pra sentir q o Wycliffe toca com amor
Not only is this a grat solo, its preformed with a strait tenor
yes exactly what I noticed!
By being a small bore instrument it is easier to reach the high notes, and if it had a trigger then it would be a lot more difficult to reach notes so high
all good jazz players use straight horns, triggers are just dead weight in stuff like this
He got that thang sounding like a trumpet at times wow!! Awesomeness!!
That's the trombones versatility....it's the most versatile brass instrument
Going through youtube to decide which instrument I should pick up. I had JUST taken trombone off of my list, but now it's back on.
