Underrated comment
This is one of the greatest musician insider meme I've ever seen 🤣
LMAO
The faces of the musicians behind him are priceless
0:26 center is probably the best one
They all look so bored
They kinda looked like haters until he started wailing high notes on the trumpet 😂
wtf u talking about cluesless peons, they litterally dont care
I think every musician in these videos are kinda dead inside, especially the background ones
Until now, I'd thought a trombone and it's slide were as equally necessary for playing music as a hammer and chisel were for sculpting, so to me it just looks like this guy threw his chisel away and started hammering marble into a work of art.
His trombone has an f-attachment, which is usually used to partially close the gap that exists in the low range of the instrument and to eliminate the need for the two farthest slide positions. However, in the high range, it can almost entirely eliminate the need for the slide in general, as long as you’re ok with being a bit out of tune.
I didn't understand either, how is that even possible?
Almost all the notes he was playing can be done in the 1st position once he goes above the first F above the staff, although you do have to very good with adjusting your embouchure to flatten/sharpen the note so you hit the proper note and like the other guy said, he has an f attachment so that means he is effectively using 2 slide positions(generally the 6th position is the other assuming it is tuned to the standard position although for what he did here I bet he had it tuned in a way that made this easier, likely a bit flat) making him able to properly hit a lot more notes with alternate positions and a very good embouchure. Also some of those note he is just playing them close enough and fast enough that it sounds like he hit them. But then again maybe he is that good, but don’t recall seeing this guy play anything else on trombone.
Yeah…….I just play trumpet
if your high enough it doesnt really matter where you stick your slide. C and Bb are in position 1 at the currect interval.
The musical equivalent of talking to yourself

0:52 that note sounds clean af
Why not 0:36 or 0:40?
@@xavierharris9749 lol they never said those weren’t
squeaky clean
wish i could do that lol
As someone who used to play trumpet, let me just say being able to do that is more impressive than running a marathon, and this man must have titanium jaws
i had no idea you could solo that hard on trombone without even touching the slide, wow
Having played a lot of trombone in my life I can assure you that you can't. This man's technique is so good you almost don't realize how incredibly hard that is to pull off even without switching between trumpet and trombone. Sure an F trigger gives you a lot of flexibility, but his control is next level. One does not simply play false and partial notes so cleanly that they sound exactly like a regular note.
@@s01itarygaming Yeah, it's astounding how clean those are, and at SPEED too. The trumpet version is hard enough (with access to valves), but the trombone version is unlike anything I've ever seen.
@@s01itarygaming not just the F trigger, the partials in the upper register are so close that with the trigger you can play almost get to any note you want on the top ranges.
That man has a very happy wife I'd say.
@@yq0706 regardless of which techniques he is in fact using, it takes quite a bit of control and practice to get that consistently clean.
The fact that he was able to match the octave on his trombone is just insane! Who else strives to be like the GOAT James Morrison? • ‿ •
I once saw Jim and Bill Watrous playing a stage together. the battle was furious and glorious and etched in to my brain forever.
it's not the same octave its in bass clef
@@lollololololololololol8116 but the sound was the same octave. He still managed to play just as high with his trombone
Highest I can go on tenor trombone is a D on the fourth line of the treble clef staff. Never really had to play that high though. Comfortable range goes to the Bb slightly below it, after that point it starts to get a bit ridiculous lmao. I can try though :)
I loved that look he gave, like "Nah.....well...actually....."
the slide is just for decoration, folks.
Playing those lines so accurately in just first position is insane. James Morrison is incredible.
I love how everyone on stage look at him as if he WERE the kid that's good at everything
this is insane, switching from a trombone mouthpiece to a trumpet mouthpiece is awkward as hell
0:56 *gives up on playing trumpet line and 2 seconds later plays something just as impressive on the trombone without the slide*
James Morrison is by FAR my fav current jazz artist. Man is insane
I think it was the 2019 International Jazz Day opener in Melbourne where I first heard William Barton play jazz on his didgeridoo (with James) and the two of them together were just amazing
Wycliffe Gordon is my favorite trombonist
And they said multitasking wasn't possible
Well he played them separately
@@CornOnThe_Cob fair, but my comment was in jest
Fair enough
No one said that
when only one brass player turns up for practice
0:55 Damn, on a second I believed that he would do it 😂
I was halfway expecting both instruments playing identical runs at the same time. That would've made my head explode.
Hot dang, those partials.
He probably could to be fair
You know it's good when the band is in awe
Especially that band!
0:25 find someone who looks at you the way the guy on the right looks at him
Can't beleive I got to perform on stage with James when Iw as in year 9, an amazing man, incredibly humble as well
Sounds like the man is as impressive as the music. A great ambassador for Australia and for jazz and no doubt a treasured experience for you!
Apparently, he isn't as humble as you are...still talking about something you did long ago as a kid 🤣
@@joeschmoe6516 Have you always been an idiot?
@@joeschmoe6516 shut up bro😂
Are you from Ballarat? If not I guess he played with schools a lot which is cool. Memorable experience for me too.
Watching this made me feel lightheaded and out of breath. Extremely impressive effort put into that. I'd love to know how he managed to keep air in his lungs.
The trombone is all mouth-work. I dont even understand how its possible.
(I've copy pasted my own reply to another comment)
He's on a really high partial in the harmonic series so the notes are pretty close to each other. Plus, the trombone has a F trigger (look at his left thumb), so that gives you a whole new set of partials. You can play a surprising amount of notes with that. I don't think I need to explain how hard this is to do.
@@amj.composer Never heard of an 'F-trigger' but it makes a lot of sense. So maybe he's just REALLY good, and not some kind of wizard like I suspected originally.
@@zack4president F trigger is just a valve that adds tubing to the trombone, dropping its pitch by a perfect 4th (so it's in the key of F). Also James Morrison is basically a wizard, honestly.
@@amj.composer I get it
James Morrison is a literal gem to the jazz and brass world
He deserved some applause at the end of that amazing set!
That is the main character of our universe.
That moment you realize the slide is not moving. 😮
Brass techniques teacher: The final isn't going to be that hard.
The final:
The skill here is actually insane! Love this guy!
I’ve been watching your videos for an hour and this is the first one where I genuinely said “HOW IN THE FK does he play trombone like that” 🤯
I remember learning about the Baroque era clarion and how the players would perform the Bach concerti without valves. Someone discovered a tiny hole in an antique instrument that the players used to create the articulation of those Bach lines.
When the trombone soloist throws up right before the performance.
This is the 4th video I’ve seen of this guy playing this exact song and every time he’s doing something completely different. What
James morrison used to live in the the house next door. A couple of years ago,we were at the beach in a cafe at sunset, and he rocked up with his band, driving his vintage rolls. Played free just for fun for an hour… very memorable…
Guy was rocking akimbo horns. New meta in Modern Warfare right there
everyone behind him looks absolutely livid
One thought going through the collective mind, “I need to practise more…” 😢
Again, the other people in the background are hilarious 😄
Wow, this is just amazing! And on his favorite blues song too 😂😂
"switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading"
"The person playing the trombone is sick"

THE FACT THAT HES NOT EVEN MOVING THE TROMBONE'S SLIDE BEDAZZLES ME
As a band kid you’ve no idea how funny I find this
still crazy to think I got the chance to play with this guy in highschool, and his brother too. Cool guys
I absolutely love your channel. I've discovered so much great music through your channel. 😁
Bruh that is eye watering how high that is I think on a good day I can be maybe 4 notes away for that
The slide on a trombone has just been for looks all along 🤔
You can only play like this if you go super high and are super skilled, so… kind of
James is AMAZING
Dude said « nah I can’t be as good as myself »
this is even wilder when you realise he goes back and forth between transposing and not
Did homeboy just do the classical version of dueling banjos by himself?
Much respect.
Love a good bit of comedy in my music acts.
It's like the anti Bill Bailey, a comic who puts music in his acts.
Man was dual wielding instruments and still had hands to signal the conductor there were 4 bars left
If it wasn't for that trigger, he wouldn't be able to paly that with one hand

Alright, now weed a trumpet player and a trombone player
I’ll do both
You can see the murderous intent behind him.
Dude is playing the trombone like it's a bugal
That’s impressive, now play them at the same time.
we found him. the trombone champ
How is he playing all those notes in 1st position? Huh?
since it's so high in the range, all the harmonics are super close together, and he's also using the trigger a LOT which gives even more notes to play with (see 0:24). also you can lip tune to bend the pitch a fair amount too, tho id be impressed if he was doing that so quickly.
Very close partials and trigger
Trigger is a beautiful thing
I did not know that trombones had a trigger. Thanks!
@@JoshuaHeckathorn Real ones don't!
I knew from the title alone that this was a James Morrison video
James Morrison You Star!!!
bruh he isnt even moving the slide
Trombone Champ without Mouse 🖱
cant wait for when he plays them at the same time
The mouth piece size of a trombone makes that somewhat difficult, but not impossible (and different shapes could make it easier as well). Two trumpets is certainly viable!
Ah yes, the trombone bugle. a classic, of course.
James Morrison you are one man band!
You definitely should check out when James Morrison (the guy in this video) played a Mozart piece for flugelhorn on his "frugal horn" which was literally a mouthpiece, a plastic funnel and a length of garden hose. The guy's a freak!
Incredible skills, especially on the Trombone.
Trumpet players drooling over the high notes😂
"Well of course I know him! He's me!"
Man has got some awesome lip slurs on trombone bro
When you’ve already mastered your main instrument so you decide to master other instruments out of sheer boredom.
i love how the trombone is playing only partials
10x harder than the trumpet
James Morrison proving that the slide on a trombone is purely to give the players something to do with their hands and is otherwise completely superfluous

Trills with just your articulation seems in SANE to me
The things you can do with the upper harmonics, an f attachment, and the chops to do whatever you want with them
If you were only listening, you could be forgiven for thinking that this was, in fact, two people.
When you do the group project yourself:
I feel for those trombone ledger lines, a tenor clef needs to put them out of their misery

WOWWW AMAZING.... that one kid that's good at Everything
That ain't human.
we have this one kid in concert that plays bass clarinet and bassoon and since we sit right beside each other he just switches from bassoon to bass clarinet on some pieces (Im still first chair thankfully)
I bet he can slide uphill!
When 0:56 came I thought George was gonna do another one “nope” like in “big man plays tiny trambone” 😂
