0:25 - Honestly one of the most effective and impactful transitions I've heard in a while. The note choices, the phrasing, and the growl's sound, timing, and hold are just the chef's kiss.
One thing to note is that this video clip is likely dubbed over with a studio recording, Tricky's signature sound is produced with a pixie mute + plunger (which is not seen in the video).
Oh I don’t know, check out the party-yelling Bill Johnson (the bassist) does on his 1928 sides with the Midnight Rounders, the Dixie Four, and the State Street Ramblers.
"Cease verbal communication" 1) That is brilliant on a notesheet 2) I will print this, put it on a little sign and present it to people falling on my nerves from hereon out.
I think there were earlier cornetists/trumpeters and trombonists who used mutes including plunger mutes for effects, but of course Tricky Sam Nanton made an art form out of it and took it to another level. For earlier trombonists try maybe Charlie Green who recorded with Bessie Smith and the Fletcher Henderson orchestra; and maybe Ike Rodgers (can’t remember if he uses a mute, but he plays a “low down” style).
This really seems like it's straining the limits of what conventional Western notation can transcribe. There is so much timbre information that isn't captured in what's written.
Out of all the jazz songs I’ve listened too, this is definitely the most unique transitions I have heard. This is in my opinion best version of Don’t Mean a Thing (that’s the song title)
My favorite thing about the Wah-Wah is that Tricky died before he actually taught anyone how to do it and no one has been able to figure out exactly how to do it ever since, so the secret of how to perform it is lost to time.
Hearing this feels like dipping my whole body into a tar pit and then jumped inside a dirt pan filled with the rotten carcasses of a hundred skunks that vomited and shitted themselves to death. I love it.
Like another commenter said, the original audio was most like done with a pixie mute & plunger, here's a video demonstrating the technique: ua-cam.com/video/3kwOIHMvopA/v-deo.html
I love how the cutoff just says “Cease verbal communication” like it’s some sort of twisted science experiment
Massive SCP vibes.
alternate reality
@@LordCantalo like at that point in time, the trombone in question gained limited sentience and was talking by itself
Ah, so this is what Charlie Brown's teacher does in their free time.
So vintage!
They actually used trombones to voice them.
I was thinking the same thing NGL
Old, i mean old, b&w ‘cartoon speak’ in general. There was so much more going on under the surface. Great clip!
Yaaaah, I'm hidin', hiding high, hidin 'ya, to the sky. Free body; bo-dy die, die ya ya ya-- ya.
Bruh you're everywhere
musicians: you do not choose the trombone, the trombone chooses you
the trombone: YA YA YAA YAA YAA
My dad always said something sorta like that.
It's true. I wanted to play the tuba and through a series of strange circumstances I got stuck with the trombone.
I laughed so hard at that joke
Wanted to play percussion, nah too many people. Ok, wanted to pay baritone, too expensive, trombone it was
*pillar men theme starts playing

Good catch.
This that Trivial Pursuit shit
Def dubbed.
So you didn't look at the description?
@@dicterzapata4287you can check in the description box to see the actual song there
Truly, the first ever visually documented "YEA MAN" in all of jazz history
Please elaborate
@@itamarbar9580 yea man
ALRIGHT MAN!!!
Oh I don’t know, check out the party-yelling Bill Johnson (the bassist) does on his 1928 sides with the Midnight Rounders, the Dixie Four, and the State Street Ramblers.
@@andrewbarrett1537 got a video link brah?
All fun and games until the trombone actually starts talking
"Everybody gangsta 'till the tromboner starts speakin"
Ohno
"Someone please help, there is a man blowing into my ass"
Yaaaah, I'm hidin', Hiding high, hidin 'ya, to the sky. Free body; bo-dy die, die ya ya ya-- ya.
Bwoo whoaw yah yah yah yahaha ya yah yoy yah
When he said "YAAAAAH eye hiding ay heidi ya needy guy he guiding hiding hide hide ya ya ya ya" I really felt that
Literally best comment 😂
@@seamlyshenanigans861 Why thank you
Trombones only carry the most fire verses
Yaaaah, I'm hiding, hiding high, Hiding 'ya, to the sky. Free body, bo-dy die, die ya ya ya; ya.
Am a simple man. I see trombone, I click.
A man of culture I see
@Roni 🤣
Same
Same
Agreed
If anyone is interested, this is the Duke Ellington Orchestra, and that’s Tricky Sam Nanton on the trombone.
Thanks
Thanks
Thx
Man had talent
If I lied and said it was Quentin Jackson would you fight me?

My man's over here inventing the first wah wah pedal for trombone with his hands
My thoughts exactly!
Wah Wah mutes literally exist, and did so before the pedal
yah yah pedal

I imagine someone using that in their song
We love to see a bass clef trombone transcription! Thank you!
Now I can play this on my bass trombone!
No, in this register it should've been tenor clef 😫
@@emilellenius no, its jazz
I had this conversation in the comments with him over a year ago now, nice to see he still thinks about it lol
@@AllegroFPS Yes and jazz trombone above anything should adopt tenor clef!!!
I've never heard a trombone go "yaaaaa" before.
The talkbox before the talkbox. Impressive without a doubt.
When you jazz so hard it turns into dubstep
Therapist: Its ok trombones can't sing, they can't hurt you
Trombones:
Ahh yes, the first instance of the otomatone
Someone else probably already spotted this, but he quotes the song of the Volga Boatmen at 0:13 .
When the Trombone started talking, my face immediately gave it a stank face
Nobody:
Literally no one ever:
Trombone: Yaaah yaaaa yaaaaah
This really seems like it's straining the limits of what conventional Western notation can transcribe. There is so much timbre information that isn't captured in what's written.
Yes exactly.
Out of all the jazz songs I’ve listened too, this is definitely the most unique transitions I have heard. This is in my opinion best version of Don’t Mean a Thing (that’s the song title)
When Charlie Brown's teacher joins a big band
this has an uncanny feeling to me, idk what it is
yeah because it sounds human but it’s not
I'm no expert but it looked like everyone remained very gangsta once the trombone started talking
Tricky Sam’s technique is for trombone players still a mystery to this day
it don't mean a thing if that trombone can't sing
I'll never get enough of that "yAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" at 0:27
*cease verbal communication*
Wow, this man is a monster! I never heard something like this, is awesome. My respect for Sam Nanton.
I haven't thought about this video in YEARS - you just sent me straight back to highschool
Expectations: Charlie Brown teacher
Reality: Actual singing
Thats what the adults in Charlie brown sound like
This shit blew my mind. Way ahead of his time. The talent.. That damned instrument started talking dawg.. that was some Looney Tunes shit irl
You finally covered tricky sam haha.
0:27 Germans when they're asked if they want sauerkraut on their hotdog
Excellent work agent trombone. Now cease verbal communication and no one will believe them.
When he said "AI AI AAAAI" i felt that..
The wawawa sound of things put over brass instruments is so good, I love it.
Nobody:
The trombone: *YAAAAYAAAAYAAAYAAA*
I wasn’t expecting it to be this good 😂
Talked clear enough for the auto closed-captions to detect it.
Playing a trombone with a mute like that has got to be the most uncomfortable thing ever
I love the toilet-plunger mute.
Wow! What in insane tecnique. Brava!
I love jazz for reasons like this, my Jazz Band in middle school was so much fun
There's something strangely unsettling about this. The skill is amazing, but the sound is creepy in a strange way
This meant a thing.
Bro really said “yah yah yoy yah yah yoy”
My favorite thing about the Wah-Wah is that Tricky died before he actually taught anyone how to do it and no one has been able to figure out exactly how to do it ever since, so the secret of how to perform it is lost to time.
Maybe. I do think my Dad does a rather nice version of it although he never got to meet Mr Nanton (he did meet Dicky Wells, however).
m.ua-cam.com/video/KbjEkiK0ja8/v-deo.html
I think we can all agree that it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing ...
very, very cool and impressive trombone playing
This is the video I was trying to find!
Loving all these trombone clips atm!
"cease verbal comunication" loved it
Joe Nanton , master of the plunger.
i literally remember hearing this a year and a half ago and not knowing if it was a person or one of the instruments lmao
Is he using a toilet plunger top on that trumbone?
yes. You cut the rim off of it, and it's called a plunger mute. Trumpets do the same thing with sink plungers too
I liked it when it went *YAAAHHHHHHHH*
When the trombone screams that it wants to live one time and then never does anything ever again
YES! I NEEDED THIS!!!
I wonder if there are any other examples of people being so good that it litterally sounds like the trombones are talking
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Man, when he said "YAAAAAAAAAAAAA HI HI HEE HAIII YAAAAAAAA HEHE HI" that line hit hard 😔
0:31
Trombone: Yaaaa ya ya ya yaa
The UA-cam Subtitles: happy birthday
This was not clickbait holy shit
It don't mean a thing if ain't got that talking trombone
The subtitles though:
Foreign
Happy birthday
The Trombone: *AHEYAA*
meanwhile somewhere in the caption:
*_happy birthday_*
Reminds me of a talkbox, pretty cool!
This is absolute heat!
"cease verbal communication" haha
"delay lama from a century ago doesn't exist, it can't hurt you"
The trombone: “it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing…doo-wap, do-wap, doo-wap…”
I was waiting with bated breath for the trombone to say CEASE VERBAL COMMUNICATION
These revelations of the human ability make techno music less and less artificial sounding.
This is amazing
personally, my pet trombone can indeed talk.
Trombone comes in like an old sage reining the young horns back in.
All good until the trombone becomes sentient
It'd be funny if a Tuba immediately talks back.
By god.
The trombone is learning...
And here I thought it was just a bad mic all these years. Impressive
I had a wonderful conversation with him.
Hearing this feels like dipping my whole body into a tar pit and then jumped inside a dirt pan filled with the rotten carcasses of a hundred skunks that vomited and shitted themselves to death.
I love it.
Trombone rly went yaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Man that’s such a neat sound
Gotta love that plunger
This made me wanna play Cuphead again.

He really did say "Waaa wah wahh wadi wadi dah" tho
Happy Birthday 🎉
“CEASE VERBAL COMMUNICATION”
It don’t mean a thing until the trombone starts to swing
I know it's not just a plunger but it kinda just looks like a plunger.
It is
It is literally just a plunger💀💀💀
Please, tell me I'm not the only one who heard "pity fool" a couple of times at the first trombone phrases.
Charlie Brown: Mom, can we have a snack?
