I used to find it tedious that Mr. Marsalis was always the interviewee of choice on jazz documentaries. Then I heard some music I loved, didn't know who did it, and it was him. So my bias level dropped. I've become a major fan of his just for this activity at Lincoln Center. he finds musicians, helps arrange, keeps them employed, makes fantastic music, and is so modest as to be self-effacing. He makes a difference in so many ways. Now I have the highest respect for him.
No finer ensemble has ever existed. Masters of their respective crafts. I've seen them at Ravinia, as well as Wynton with a quintet a couple times. Just amazing.
Yes. Many people don't realize that the top pros really do play like the recording. My teacher told me that if I'm really serious, I should visit NYC and witness this myself. It brings your mindset to a whole new level.
Reminds me of my first Big Band performance. Our conductor Peter Stöve asked me after 8 bars ..."Robert why you do not PLAY"? My answer: "Sorry I take a TRAIN later ......". He laughed!
What makes you think American popular culture is "degenerate?" I don't know a lot about rap or hip hop, but to say popular culture is degenerate is, I think, an old-fashioned view. Akin, perhaps, to my parents bitching about that devil music known as rock and roll. I love so much about popular American culture. I loved punk rock back in its hey day. But, my favorite form of music has always been jazz. I played trumpet in jazz bands all through college and for years afterward. I think its certainly one of America's best gifts to the world.
Mojo Maximus I love it too, impressionism fascinates me and this song uses it, or at least I can hear. It gives me the chills, feeling like I'm riding around Broadway back in the day, feelings of nostalgia even though not even my grandparents were alive yet during that time 😂
I see people say look at this minute and that minute of the solo and say that that lick fits so well, I say no don’t look at a specific minute of the solo but instead look at it all cause it all fits well. Such a great solo by my favorite trumpet player today.
I've been listening to this song for 35 years and even got a music degree. I always knew it got softer at the end but never made the connection to a real train. 😂
Ryan made All-State in High School (go figure) and came downtown that night to jam with the locals... Susie and the Band took a break and told him to come up and play something. I sat at the drums and said what do you want to do? Kiser said, "Take a train"... I said, "what?"... He said, "Take a Train... the Aaaa Train"..... I will never forget that...
Billy 'Swee-Pea' Strayhorn wrote this tune while actually riding the A- Train after following Mr. Ellington's directions to meet him in Harlem, after arriving in New York fresh from Pittsburgh.
Très beau jeu subtil avec le solo trompette à sourdine de Ryan Kisor (trompettiste de jazz exceptionnel) Magnifique et magique, bravo à tous les musiciens !!
Take the “A” Train composé par Billy Strayhorn et arrangé par Duke Ellington en 1941 un morceau qui emprunte son titre à la ligne A du métro de New York. Cette ligne qui part de Brooklyn et va jusqu’à Harlem (station de Sugar Hill) qui est située au nord de l’île de Manhattan à New York. Le morceau rentre dans les charts pour y rester sept semaines et l'une des plus belles œuvres de référence dans le monde du jazz où Duke Ellington avait réussi à mêler blues et swing avec le raffinement des arrangements du style Duke Ellington qu'on lui connaît.
I ge5 to listen to this mf in his living room. This solo still makes me get a half chub. Pause. Love yiu Bert!,I love the reactions from Wynton and the lead player when you got soulful/I'll on a mf. I love this. -Lance

That's great, I know there's time I've set my bias aside, taken a second look at something, and really appreciated it too.
Wynton Marsalis tiene algo que cada día es más difícil encontrar en americanos: ama el jazz.
What a freakin' great trumpet solo. Impossible to listen to this too many times!
such an underrated solo. this is a masterpiece bruh
💯
Great trumpet solo on an extremely well-known standard. I like how the tempo is a bit faster than how Duke played it.
That’s so funny. I just commented that I prefer it a tad slower.
Ryan Kisor! what a wonderful solo!
No finer ensemble has ever existed. Masters of their respective crafts. I've seen them at Ravinia, as well as Wynton with a quintet a couple times. Just amazing.
It brings tears to my eyes! How I miss attending live jazz concerts!
1:29-1:37 SOUNDS SO CLEAN AND IT FITS DO WELL IN THE SONG. Who agrees?
+Zach Mckay Wynton surely does!
Agreed!
Zach Mckay it fits both the style and the song. Not only does he find the notes, he uses a plunger
ya
He has the changes internalized unbelievably well!
2:37 is one of those lines that just sticks with you.
12 people took the B train.
haha
nice one
I guess they weren't going to Duke Ellington's house.
Or the L train
53 わし I Died! Best comment on the video!
This is my favorite version of this chart. I come back to listen to it like 3 random times throughout the year, I just love it
One of my fav recordings of this tune. Definitely stealing some of these licks.
It's sweet, huh? And that trumpet solo......
It's so amazing that everyone is on key, hitting all notes in time. Especially when they are playing the eight notes and swinging at the same time.
Inteva that's kinda what professional big bands do lol
Inteva lmfao dude
Yes. Many people don't realize that the top pros really do play like the recording. My teacher told me that if I'm really serious, I should visit NYC and witness this myself. It brings your mindset to a whole new level.
It's a fast and modern "A" train on the high-speed railway!
Reminds me of my first Big Band performance.
Our conductor Peter Stöve asked me after 8 bars ..."Robert why you do not PLAY"?
My answer: "Sorry I take a TRAIN later ......".
He laughed!
So happy he introduced it as a Billy Strayhorn tune
Top notch musicians to play with Wynton Marsalis.
I love seeing Sean Jones's reactions to Ryan's solo. Lots of stank-face and "yeah man" moments, Awesome
POW! Right in the Kisor!!
Nice one
16 people took the B train
Funk Overload or the "L" train
Funk Overload 20
44
45
52
What can I add. This is outstanding jazz music played by the best jazz musicians of this era.
ryan kisor with the amazing solo damn
I counted at least 7 quotes in Kisor's solo. Nice! Ryan is a beast.
Oh what an asshole! I played with Wynton once about 10 years ago and Dom Farinaci. Thats my only connection with LCJO.
Brandon, I'd be interested to see your work. Got any videos? I'm not being a jerk here, I'd like to see.
Go on then Donovan, tell us what they are you know you want too!!
This time is timeless.
Love this song. The oh-so-elegant Duke and Billy Strayhorn. Wonderful music. Perhaps my favorite American composition after Rhapsody in Blue.

0:04 a few people in the audience went "aww" because they heard take the a train so much lol
My favorite part was when Wynton did anything
Ryan Kisor is the best at plunger work!!! Thank you!
I don't know jack about trumpet playing, but if you're playing a solo with Wynton Marsalis sitting there, you must be primus inter pares.
I see people say look at this minute and that minute of the solo and say that that lick fits so well, I say no don’t look at a specific minute of the solo but instead look at it all cause it all fits well. Such a great solo by my favorite trumpet player today.
Phenomenal solo!!!
I love how they get softer at the end because the train is pulling away. The piano also restates the opening motive, which is really cool.
I've been listening to this song for 35 years and even got a music degree. I always knew it got softer at the end but never made the connection to a real train. 😂
At 2:34 Wynton is suprised
Cool
Billy Strahorn. One of the most tragic life stories in music . It would make a great bio flick....
so truue...
You don't often get jazz tunes that end on resolved chords like that, haha very nice
I love this piece s o m u c h
Nice to hear something swinging 👌❤️! Improv is awesome and with the help of the mute. Reminds me of jazz band back on your in college.!,😄❤️🌹😁👍👌
Ryan Kisor on trumpet is amazing here!
Yes, great Solo - Ryan Kisor!!!!
Ryan made All-State in High School (go figure) and came downtown that night to jam with the locals... Susie and the Band took a break and told him to come up and play something. I sat at the drums and said what do you want to do? Kiser said, "Take a train"... I said, "what?"... He said, "Take a Train... the Aaaa Train"..... I will never forget that...
Ryan Kisor killing it
this is just as good as the original duke Ellington billy strahorn version
I adore this tune, and these gentlemen deliver.
Wynton's face at 2:33 Also, is he playing Seneca Black's trumpet?
Ryan Kisor Just wondering. It looks like Seneca's Schilke from back in the day.
Wynton is probably playing his monette RAJA
Big band is part of our legacy&any serious music afficenodo needs some of this in their life!!!
Billy 'Swee-Pea' Strayhorn wrote this tune while actually riding the A- Train after following Mr. Ellington's directions to meet him in Harlem, after arriving in New York fresh from Pittsburgh.
The greatest piece of music ever written.
