A Fabulous player...he's much better LIVE than on video. The Coastal Community Concert Band in Southern CA had Harry as guest artist a few years a go. AMAZING!!
the drummer switching to the shaker made that feel 100x better. I was kinda on the fence about such a sparse pulse behind that solo but the shaker connected all the instruments so good. The power of shaker is unmatched.
Harry Waters is a fantastic musician, a great teacher, and a wonderful person that I've had the opportunity to meet and work with a couple times (he worked with our western NY community band). A true talent and a joy of a human being.

Bom músico. Gostei do som do trombone. Porém tem notas graves que ainda não escutei. Deve ser porque é um trombone tenor Si bemol. Um abraço desde Maceió e Marechal Deodoro - Alagoas - Brasil.
Lots of notes in the solo but not saying anything with them. Sounds more like a practice drill than anything soulful that can connect with the listener. Nice tone though.
Not really what giant steps is about. I agree with this when it comes to other charts but with those changes, you can't really connect with the listener; that song is just about just blowing
@@milesburke3858 Watch the Barry Harris UA-cam video on Giant Steps and you'll see him demonstrate examples that show why you are 100% wrong about that tune. He plays beautiful melodic lines on Giant Steps, not arpeggio drills. ua-cam.com/video/uTTNL-RHEMs/v-deo.html
trombone player falls out of time slightly so what does a great musician/drummer (in this case) do? YOU GRAB A SHAKER AND PLAY THE 16th NOTE great musicians right here
Nice work on the technical ability of playing the transcription note for note exactly and precisely. Nice tonguing of all the 16th note runs. My only suggestion is to work on putting feeling into it. It just sounded stilted. Make it your own. Play from your heart and mind and not from your eyes on a piece of paper.
@@BillSmith-rx9rm how? This guy improvised these lines on the spot on Coltrane changes. Giant steps was made for technical virtuosity to be presented, not for beautiful lyrical lines
@@simonlutgens I'm a jazz musician, you don't have to explain it to me. I said it was a nice job by the young fellow. I just offered a suggestion. Not meant to be a criticism. You have to be able to accept suggestions and recommendations if you are to improve and that goes for anything and everything in life. Btw, I'm not the only one in this comment section that made a very similar remark. If you say he was improvising on the spot, I'll take your word for it. But it doesn't sound like it. That's the point. It sounds contrived. It sounds very square and blocky, strictly technical. Like one other commenter said, it sounds like it came out of a study book of etudes. My simple recommendation to him was to play from his heart and from his brain. Let his feelings and his expressions come through. Let it swing, let it bop. Let it come out naturally. I'm sure this fellow will become a very fine musician.
Thank you so much for transcribing this, James!
My pleasure! It gave me a great insight into the way you approached this chart 👌
The Man the Myth The Legend Himself! 😅
I was about to say, I worked with Harry at the American Band college, but there he is!
How do you archieve such smooth tonguing and soulful playing sir?
@@Anteater01, thanks so much…I incorporate legato scales into my daily warm ups.
trombonist: starts the most difficult and impressive part
camera man: "hey lets see what the bassist is doing!"
That's EXACTLY what I thought, like I could learn so much if you'd just let me watch his slide!

May be one of the smoothest jazz solos ever. Incredible.
Bro everyone is like “wow incredible musician, love how smooth that was!” Meanwhile I’m wondering if he even has a tongue after that 💀

He had me after the first tone. Such a smooth sound
What a wonderful use of the Coltrane changes
I look forty times more stressed than this man when I'm playing hot crossed buns...
thank you so much for this transcription! I need to get better at jazz runs on trombone.
See that ladies? Look how good he is at tonguing
Getting a tromboner rn

Great solo, and the tune sounds very nice in this slow groove.
It sounds like a soulless backing track along with trombone rudiments exercises until 0:55 >.< It makes the shift to continuous 16's this much funnier
yeah this blows
I thought the solo was pretty cool, but yeah that backing is comically stiff
@@TheSteelDialga Aebersold backing moment fr
He's such a good tromboner
This was smooooth. Darn, on repeat uncountable times now
What beautiful tone :)
My god... that .. thats incredible
Incredible solo by my NT buddy Harry.
Amazing.
Wonderful ❤
Danke James!! Mega😊
AMAZING !! 👍👍👍👍 BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏
Had the pleasure of attending a master class from him and I loved every minute of it
Damn... that tone...
IMPRESSIVE!!!
Bros got fantastic ears in more way than one
Yeah!
That's the way I would play trombone (if I could play trombone).
Harry is an animal!
He had me after the first tone!
Nice!!
Que maravilha!!👏👏👏👏👏
Nice 👍

Did not know that JFK was so good at the trombone.

I'm going to say something similar. See my comment.

* When you have 1.87 minutes to impress your crush
Got double quavers much?
Why does this sound like a slowed version of gaint steps
Am I tripping or does this sound like giant steps
Correct
… because it is
Actually that was 1.86666667 minutes 🤓

Giant Steps or 7 Steps to Heaven???
No offense but this is the kind of thing you leave in the practice room
bruh
0:11 I’m sorry, does he have his slide out to play a F?
He is playing an F # there 👌
@@jamesedwards9690 ohh
1.5 would be 1 minute and 30 seconds
And that's how long he is improvising for!
@@jamesedwards9690 oh
1.5=1:30
1.5 minutes means 1 minute and 30 seconds but ok
And that's how long the improvisation is ;)
Very technical... but did not made me feel a thing...
trombone player falls out of time slightly so what does a great musician/drummer (in this case) do? YOU GRAB A SHAKER AND PLAY THE 16th NOTE great musicians right here
1.5 minutes isn't equal to 1 minute and 51 seconds
1.5 mins of Improv

The transcription was made after the guy in the video played it
Lmao what
@@simonlutgens well, that makes it worse.

STOP STEALING OUR SAXOPHONE PLAYER SONGS HUFNME,WILW
sounds great but it is just sone other guy's improvisation
That's the point of a transcription ;)
No, it's Harry's solo that the video editor then transcribed.
