Please Lord let there be music like this forever.
This is blindingly good. One of the things I love about Wynton Marsalis is his obvious and intense enjoyment of other people’s music.
Mark O'Connor is strange visitor from another planet who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
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.

“To optimize the whole, we must sub-optimize the parts.”-W. 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. Ordinary men discriminate among them and parade their discriminations before others. So I say, those who discriminate fail to see."-Chuang Tzu
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.
The mastery of the instruments and the timing of the musicians is impeccable.
Carlos Henriquez on stand-up bass is the entire backbeat and phenomenal
Frank is mighty and sublime in his soloing. Classical music references, simple but insightful octave arpeggios? The guy's unreal.
That is the BEST, BEST, BEST that Sweet Georgia Brown has EVER been performed!!!!!!!!!!
Then, you've never heard the Hot Club of France.
Anita Day is better
Of course: ua-cam.com/video/l4NvioAq1yg/v-deo.htmlsi=PRgVjCoiX5TCAOUw
Definitely top 2 or 3.
The dialogue between the guitar and fiddle is incredible !!!!! And that sax player , MAN !!!!
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 ✌️
this is one of those times when 1 thumbs up is definitely not enough - need one for each and every musician on that stage
Musicians at this level are like advanced beings from another galaxy.
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
I HAVE NEVER HEARD "SWEET GEORGIA BROWN" PLAYED WITH SUCH "SWING". IT IS JUST WONDERFUL HOW EACH INSTRUMENT ADDS TO THE SONG. MR. MARSALIS' QUINTET IS WELL KNOWN AND I WOULDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM THEM. THANK YOU, GUYS! . SYLVIA!
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.....
Such a pleasure to hear REAL music by these fantastic musicians. It is impossible to listen to this presentation without tapping your foot in time! It brings me back to the "old days" when I was learning jazz by listening to the "greats" on the 78's.
One of my first Jazz songs, I heard as a young girl, that girl is now in her late eighties, and it is still a favorite.
Betty Snodgress CONGRATULATIONS. I AM 72 AND REMEMBER TO MY MOM LISTENED TO. I LOVE IT.
God bless you nice lady. I'm in my middle earlys!
71 here Betty. CHEERS.............!
im 14 big age gaps here!
Yes, me too. I'm also an oldie at 92.
Remember hearing Georgia when about 10 years old. Been a favourite ever since. Love this version.
Mark O'Connor! One heck of a great violinist who proves he can hold his own in just about any kind of music that moves!
In my opinion, music at this level is just a cut above all the rest. WOW!
You may not be aware, but Stephane Grappelli was one of Mark O'Connor's great mentors. Grappelli took Mark under his wing when Mark was a teenager, and O'Connor toured with Grappelli for two years. O'Connor paid respect to his teacher by including him in Mark's Heroes album in 1993.
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.
Just freaking insane awesome great performers, Wynton is world class.....i have no words in English to describe how intelligent this is........Frank Vignola is wicked on that guitar!
Absolutely fantastic. Just love them all. Never get tired of seeing and listening to them all.
Violino e chitarra soli, poi ingresso del contrabbasso. Tutti e tre meravigliosi e coplemetari nell'esecuzione del brano. Arrangiamento eccezionale. Tromba, sax tenore, pianoforte e batteria entrano a metà esecuzione contribuendo ad eseguire la migliore versione di sweet georgia brown.
Condolences to your father who hooked me into jazz when I was at Tulane U. A great loss but will never be forgotten.
Speechless. If there's a band in heaven, this must be it.
When everyone on stage is the absolute best imaginable in terms of technical mastery, invention, rythmic precision, taste - and let's not overlook being a true team member too. I just can't even.
Geniale Virtuosität. Tolle Performance. Habe in dieser Form noch nie gehört, mit dieser Perfektion. LG Manfred Bulla.
This music makes me happy to be alive. Thank you
He always leaves one with beautiful emotions🥰 Is this your favorite tune?
I-LOVE-IT!! These guys are making conversation like on a monday morning over coffee... but then with their instruments! And boy did they have a weekend😂👍🏻
It reminds me a little bit of "theater". The Title says "Quintet", but there are actually 7 musicians, and then there is a person with a camera in the background at certain points during the performance. Also, each musician plays a role, both in synchrony and as a soloist. There is that saying from Shakespeare (I have to look it up), "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
The infant, the schoolboy, the lover, the soldier, the justice, the pantaloon, and old age. Many Shakespeare fans are familiar with Jaques's famous speech in As You Like It about these seven ages of man, which begins: All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.
That is a LOT of music in just over 10 minutes. Some of the best.
Mind boggling. Wynton is taking us into a wonderful where musicians of so many styles play together.
As other commenters have said, each musician here is an absolute master of his instrument. They compete and collaborate and the result is just sensational!
every time i find a jazz goat i find a new jazz goat god bless these jazz men and women!
Bravo Wynton Marsalis. The Jazz it´s living a new era with new Giants. Regards to all quintet
This is true southern music & these musicians represent the true classiness of southerners.
That guitarist is so great. I don't have words.
OH! MY! GOD! My feet began tapping immediately and I was overwhelmed at the musical genius on display. I actually found myself shedding tears of joy!
I understand so much ! so beautiful music !
Every time I listen to this, when Frank Vignola finishes his first solo, I want to give another thumbs up 🙂
angels come down from heaven and make music
That’s so sweet of you! Is this your favorite tune?
Landed here because I’m stuck at home due to the Coronavirus, glad I did, this is wonderful.
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
NOTE - None of this would be possible without the absoulutely divine rhythm section. They are truly world class!
Love how Wynton enjoys letting everyone else shine. Wonderfully talented group!
How the f**k could ANYONE give these guys a thumbs down ???????????????
Wynton Marsalis seems to be one of those people who's always teaching; even when he is playing, he is teaching. Even when he appears to be just listening, he is sending evaluative comments with his movements. Like most people who are great at what they do, he is always trying to pass it on.
This is just fantastic.......my toes are going wild.........the race is on, I tell you......don't stop please, I beg you!!!! Wow 👌 👏....and more,please!!
To say excellent is not enough......to applaud standing for a long long time
Музыканты Виртуозы с большой буквы, да! джаз притягивает к себе наилучших исполнителей. Спасибо.
Holy shit! That is the perfect tempo for that song and boy oh boy those bloody strings ❤
Respect to them all.that guitarists, Frank, was awesome, really enjoy that, and Mark as always blows me away, you were awesome. Love the way all u guys played. Those horns were great. Best version of Sweet Gerogia Brown, I have ever heard, too much you guys love it.
У. Маршалис - сеперджазмен еаших дней!!!
Best version of SGB I've heard in a while, the interplay between violin and guitar is soooooo marvelous , Wynton and the band as usual are fabulous, this version always makes me smile.
Oh my. Love this so much. Always blessed to hear musicians on this level playing together.
I like Wynton Marsalis's expressions of approval.
I'd like to express my approval of your expression of approval of Wynton Marsalis's expressions of approval.
@@LaFinDuM0nde underrated comment
Much of the time, I believe, he is in an alternative and superior reality.
I think Wynton looked kinda pissed as O'Connor pretty much handed his ass to him... Just saying lol (maybe by design ;-) ). Drum solo was pretty spectacular.
To me, Wynton always looks kinda peeved as if he wants to tell someone off.
How about the way he snaps the beat with his fingers before the music starts? The fiddle play can't be trusted to kick off at a certain tempo?
WM's a top virtuoso but I find him a cold personality, musically and humanally (if thats a word). I've just come here from Harry James - what a sad contrast.
I'm a beginner, I'm looking forward to transcribing some of these lines, they're just lovely, so many to choose from in all the solos,. I've listened to this version loads of times, it always makes me smile. I was very happy to find that there's a UA-cam video by the brilliant Frank Vignola where he explains the chords.
These guys are all great. As a guitarist myself, I enjoy Frank Vignola the most because I know how difficult playing like that can be, especially under pressure live. He's a tremendous player and it's cool to see him playing with such greats. Fantastic.
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.
A ten minute slice of musical heaven! Wow!
FANTASTIC !!!! Encore, encore .... !!!!😀😀😀🙏🙏🙏
Love Frank Vignola. Best chords in the business!
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.
I can die for listening to Mark O'Connors violin!
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...
Wynton Marsalis é um grande professor e musicista de Jazz. Trompetista, dos melhores, também é um bom cantor. Sou seu fã, como fui do seu pai Ellis Marsalis. Tem um irmão saxofonista Bradford Marsalis, também, um ótimo músico. Seu pai faleceu a pouco tempo e foi um inovador que introduziu o estudo de Jazz na Faculdade, no Sul dos USA. Congratulations Mr. Wynton Marsalis. Aqui do Brazil.
Good Lord what talent!
My very favorite CD of ALL TIME is Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio: "In Full Swing"!
I can't thank them enough for the wonderful music!!!
This will be in your spine for life ❤
Who would dislike this?
Winton takes it up a notch. Very sophisticated ear. And GROOVE.
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**.
Every musician on that stage is a stand-out! I love WM's phrasing - the way he plays around around with both the melody and the beat - The whole band has a wicked sense of time... Very hot stuff.
This is what music is all about , jam like this is the best and suddenly we are back to realty
does anybody know why people dont really like wynton so much in the jazz community? i knew my jazz teacher back in high school hated the guy, and ive also heard many other people tell me they dont like him, ive looked it up but people just say he is cocky, there has to be more to it but i have no clue, wynton is amazing and really changed things in modern jazz any input is welcome :)
Probably one of the best things I've ever heard. Oh my.....
All my favorite musicians!!! Bravooooo!!!
What a privilege to be able to play on that level...
I just can't help smiling every time I listen to this.... unbridled brilliant talent!
This is a beautiful sound!!! I'm in another world altogether.
On
It's just perfection. No other way to describe it.
Just about the finest piece of music I have ever heard!
My grandpa took me and my best friend to a Wynton Marsalis concert in Amsterdam, it's one of the best things to ever happen to me
THIS is why I've always loved jazz!!
Wow.... what talent!!! Extraordinary improvisation... just marvel at the ability of these artists.. Thank you!!
I'm gonna see Wynton live on March 23 on San Francisco for my birthday!
I cannot wait, it will be the first time I see him play live.
Sgb. O 'Connor makes them all raise there game .. They all needed there running shoes. To stay with this tempo. And the nailed it MAGIC!
Wow! This Quintet is Amazing. I have never Listened to any of these Musicians before and now I always will!! I usually like my Jazz Old School/Classic: Louis Armstrong, Billy Holiday, Ella, Duke Ellington, Benny Carter, Chick Webb, D'jango , Jack Teagarden, Nina Simone etc, etc I could go on all night naming Favorite Musicians and Singers!!!
Sweet Georgia Swing,I could watch and listen to all day:
George Watson beegie adair
What a cool swinging ensemble featuring 2 of my fave musicians.
Winton produces the most unique musical ensembles
with some of the best contemporary monster musicians from all kindsa genres
The guitar player is like, I could do this all day.
he probably can and does
in this famous tune rendition FRANCK VIGNOLA creates a piece of anthology . He reaches inaccessible stars !
That bass player did a very good job … Well done 💪
Absolute sheer inspirational brilliance! These guys are awesomely talented, and enjoying every second of it!
Wynton looks mighty impressed and for good reason.
O’Connor really is something else, and Vignola is no slouch.
Looks like a custom made guitar with unusual pickups. Great sound.
Exceptionnelle interprétation de ce standard du jazz. Difficile de s'immiscer entre Mark O' Connor et Frank Vignola, et pourtant, Wynton Marsalis relève magistralement le défi. Un très grand moment.
Every one of them absolutely the best instrumentalists of their time. That's the closest I've ever head anyone come to the sound of Buddy Rich's hi-hat trick since Buddy died.
Wow..! This is the definition of ‘making music’
Questa è musica con un ritmo spettacolare, della musica che ti coinvolge, che ti trascina in quel ritmo eccitante che non smetterai mai di ascoltare. Bravi Vignola, O'Connor .. Ma una nota di particolare importanza riservo a quel Grande Artista di grande spessore che è Wynton Marsalis, alla sua fantastica Band (contrabbasso e sax tenore in particolare) che, come pochi altri, rappresenta un luccichio Stella del firmamento musicale !! I miei complimenti!! c.castellano, italia
Real Music with Real Instruments....LOVE IT!!!
Guitar was absolutely shredding. This is an awesome recording
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.
Great musicians! This music makes my day.
‘Genius’ is a word thrown around like confetti these days. It should be locked in a safe and used only for recipients like these true geniuses 😎😎😎
Met Frank while he playing with Bucky Pizzerelli. Great guitarist. RIP Bucky
Most enjoyable . Master musicians , great interpretation of an old classic
Love when the rest of the rhythm section comes in. Swings so hard!
I met Mr O. 1984 ish he is a great human being as well.#sunnyside of excellence
Quelles performances des solistes O'Connor et Vignola accompagnés d'une superbe section rythmique, on en redemande !
Absolute GREATNESS by all involved. You’ll rarely hear such from pop media.
Love the way you Cats Swing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
And thus gives the trumpet a much more dark and mellow sound. A bright trumpet makes a bright sound. Certain finishes will dramatically change a trumpets sound. I for one love his trumpet, just as is.
The first time I heard Sweet Giorgia Brown was in the fifties on a LP my father had of the Hot Club de France and the musicians were Stephen Grappelli (violin) and Django Reinhard (guitar) ❤
