As a trumpet player, like that you pointed out about Roy going for it at the end, it's risky when your chops have taken a beating. The humility he had, the willingness to go for notes he might not fully get is so refreshing. He makes everything look easy. He sits in the upper range so effortlessly and makes it sound so soft and full. I'm not sure how he did that. An absolute inspiration on every level. That section towards the end where he ascends with the tremolo phrasing is so impressive, the technique and musicality all the way, but above all the heart.
Nailed it on that this solo is the pinnacle of trumpet playing in so many ways. We should find encouragement in what music can be, not discouraged that we might not ever be able to match it or come close. Roy found his niche and owned it, and we can too.
Without a doubt one of the greatest Trumpet solos this century. The setup chorus on one note at 18.10 is the simplest and best part of this - the ultimate relaxed chorus and at the same time pushing and setting up the band for him to move up into the higher resister for the rest of the solo. Absolutely masterful playing and listening. As a Trumpet player I still listen to this every week - there’s so much to learn from it. On top of that Justin’s Alto solo is also remarkable. Truly a seminal performance made all the better by missing the top F (Eb concert) at the start of the last chorus and then just laughing and coming back and nailing it!
Oh wow. I only knew it as the "Never meant to make you daughter cry" line form Outkast's "Ms. Jackson", which I guess is obviously quoting Brothers Johnson...maybe could argue with the first low note in the phrase he's quoting the quote, as I don't hear that so much in the original. Thanks!
Shuggie Otis wrote composed and sang Strawberry Letter #23 in 1971 not the Brothers Johnson. Freedom Flight is the album. By the way he is also the man who a certain Rogers Nelson otherwise known as Prince blatantly copied and wanted to be like. You are welcome.
This was one of the first jazz tunes I learned (I was the trumpeter for a makeshift funk jazz group). This solo is phenomenal. I was blown away by how simple, easy, and melodic it sounds but I was also taken back by how difficult it is to get it right. A lot of guys could learn this at a B- maybe B+ level, but to bring it home and play it with 100% accuracy is not an easy feat. Roy was very stylish in his playing no matter the tune but this one exposed him as a musician and as a person. Great episode guys, I loved it and learned something new today. Keep it up!
The hip hop lines are from Grandmaster Flashs "The Message." Ice Cube "check yo self" making a very popular sample. Peter' referencing the line from Outkast' " Ms. Jackson" a sample from a Brothers Johnson tune. Great show guys.
Man it's such a shame they removed the actual video of this performance from UA-cam....I think it's still available other places...This is badass, so cleannnn and hip.
Thankyou for this! It seems like this is the only place to relive the original video, considering they took it down! Great analysis. Love it gents

The bassist in this concert (and in the album Earfood) is Danton Botler, I didn't know him either until I heard for the first time "Style" from that same concert (and album), in that piece his performance is amazing!!.
I saw this group play at the Detroit Jazz festival and play all the songs from the Ear Food CD. It was one of the best sets of any band I have ever heard. Roy was amazing and still sounds hip. Thanks for taking us through his solo. It's cool that something so fun is so sophisticated. I would love for you to analyze some of Justin's solos some day.
:: For the record, Strasbourg St-Denis is a funky place in Paris :) Very animated quarter with a melting pot and ladies of the night too. Hence the smile on Roy's face!! haha ::
Roy Hargrove - Trumpet Justin Robinson - Alto Sax Gerald Clayton - Piano Montez Coleman - Drums Danton Boller - Bass (Peter and Adam really should have known this ..)
You disrespected the GREAT GREAT SIR ROBINSON on saxophone... his solo on this live is a full tribute to music, technicaly amazing and beyond words in terms of groove and instant creativity. Roy and him had a beautiful relationship. RIP Roy my hero. Good video though
@@dougiesherwin9591 That's the way you listen to the music ? Little stretches, cut by comments and often repeated, without listening to the whole piece ? You masoschist ? LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL
You'll be surprised to find that Louis preferred the pronunciation "Lewis" instead of "Louie". He once said "I'm not French" or something along those lines. Don't correct people who happen to be correct.
You guys (commentators) are extremely generous here...….I love this song but IMHO as a trumpeter it could have been played so much better. So many chipped notes by Roy. The introductory line with sax is NOT together. In fact they don't get it together until the 2nd time around. Listen! Lots of good stuff happening, but too many mistakes not to notice.
@@pianopeter No excuse. Professional musicians rehearse together. The introductory line is CLEARLY one you want to get right the first time because it sets the groove and CLEARLY a line that would need to be rehearsed many times in order to get the timing right. 8 sixteenth notes followed by 2 eighth notes is BASIC trumpet playing. No excuse.
@@pianopeter count it in and listen how the sax hits the downbeat but trumpet is a split second behind. As they progress it gets tighter. And yes I've had extensive ear training in my studies with worlds greatest soloists.
@@AllStarBugler It is a little off, but honestly who cares? It grooves so hard that it doesn't matter. It's kind of like Humpty Dumpty by Chick Corea, when the bass is really out of tune, but in the end, the song is so good it doesn't matter and actually gives the song a unique style
@@joelugten6593 I'll tell ya who cares. The trumpet players who put in in endless hours making sure that in their own performance its never just "a little bit off". It's called "being professional".
@E Bloom ach. he's right and you know dis. they fluffin and stumblin and clamming. did the same on another version of this i think. it's tricky, but its the fookin head, the tune, and, it's a high profile gig. theyre high level players. They wayyyyy offf. not a lil bit dont cap on bugle boy for pointing out the obvious and really, unforgivable flaws.

The second quote after The Message, is actually "Strawberry Letter #23" by the Brothers Johnson.
THANK YOU i was searching for this quote :)

A great analysis--and a wonderful tribute to the memory of one of the best and most inspiring musicians of his generation, gone far too soon. RIP Roy.
Like his solo, this was warm, interesting, honest and void of pretension. Your enthusiasm and insight is appreciated , thanks!

Yeah the outcast riff I heard. Such a nice touch
Thanks you... Peter, why don't you give your fans a little knowledge of your background, who you studied with, school....

Well done guys. I had the pleasure of seeing Roy perform live only a few times. Missing him, yeah every day.

My fav solo anaylsis so far. We miss you Roy
Incredible. I am learning this tune now and playing it on my next gig!
Roy forever. My King
I believe he quotes “Anything Goes.” Peter heard it. Thanks for this video.
That second quote after the hip-hop one is from "Strawberry Letter 23"
Wow this is the only place I can find the visual for this recording. So dope
:: For the record, Strasbourg St-Denis is a funky place in Paris :) Very animated quarter with a melting pot and ladies of the night too. Hence the smile on Roy's face!! haha ::
I think, in minute 15:56, Roy's influence and knowledge of Latin (Afro-Cuban) music comes across...
HEY. Strasbourg saint Denis is the name of the tube station close to this Jazz club. Went there many times.
I love this. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while! Inspired!! Great job!
Great video. but some toerag has removed the complete clean video of this version from UA-cam!!!!
:: Discovered him through his 'Crisol' album: magical!!! ::

i'm gonna use this for my research paper. I'll cite obviously though
love these! More please!
Tears, R.I.P.
how come I missed this
"Casino lick"? What does that mean? Please explain...
Great video 🤙 You guys should analyse his solo on invitation.
Man they took down the video from YT! Why?!
Dennis Johnson everytime they do it, I get so depresed
Yeah, very messed up...
I had it ☹
Have you done Starnaker?
Its all about the groove
What's the UA-cam link of this Roy's performance? I can't find it ☹
Freddy,Woody and Roy!
where's the original video gone?? cant find it on YT
J E it’s on dailymotion
they have it back on but not with the original video. it's because of copyright issues
I always see the album 'Earfood' in the used bins, and it's depressing to me because it has one of the baddest tunes on the planet.
