To 80% of the people in the comments section: They are all playing with their own style. No one is "better" than the other, and none of them are trying to show off because they have no need to prove themselves - these four are among the most respected musicians in the world. They all trade and introduce their own sound which makes this fascinating to watch and listen to. We don't need wars in the comments section about who is "better" and who is "worse," because at this level it is entirely subjective to the listener. If you prefer fast lines spanning from low F# to the double register, great. If you prefer slower moving lines with a more tender sound, also great. It is perfectly okay to state your preferences, but there is no need to hate on anyone for playing with their own style. We are all here because we enjoy listening to music, and many of us are trumpet players ourselves. There is no need for any hate here. Let's just enjoy watching these four legends create music.
Armen K well.... music gusto is subjective. No doubt they are all great. Nevertheless, it’s not a sin to make a “judgement “ as of who you liked the most. Nobody here is trying to belittle anyone, at least not me! Having said that, I liked Morrison the best. Amen!
Wrong. Morrison won
I totally agree !! Thank you.
I agree either the overall comments about all four and no need for war. Let's just enjoy this foursome.
So true, and they all show signs of having a great deal of respect for each other.
Really loved this. 4 great players, 4 distinctive styles. Arturo always plays like he's getting paid by the note.
by the high note lol
Be glad your not paying per note it would be higher then the national debt!
Wynton, singing. Others, at the olympics. What a class in elegance and not getting bullied into leaving the fundamental element that makes this music eternal, SOUL.
I think Faddis has more soul than Wynton.
I think Morrison has more soul than any of them
You can hear it,,sounds like German chocolate cake 😎👆
@@russellziske7385 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@joshfraser5828 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Look, gang, these are the four greatest trumpet players alive today. We should be grateful that they're all roaming the earth at the same time. At various times, I've seen all four live in concert, and I like ALL FOUR equally! But Morrison was by far the best in concert. If you get a chance to see James Morrison live, DO IT!
Hi mate what's the name of the song and album this is a masterpiece by 4 great artists I need to get it
retrorex you know... I heard all of them and I agree with you. I think Morrison was the Gold Medal in this encounter. All of them great of course!
Don't forget Phil Driscoll 😉
@@bonifaceseane6143 It’s Blues in F for most of it which is not a song technically but at the end they play Billie’s Bounce by Charlie Parker (which is a bebop blues in F).
Arturo soloing at 13:35 without a mouthpiece is literally the most trumpet player thing of all time
I laughed so hard when Faddis looked over and saw that 😂😂
I love how James, Autoro, and Jon are blasting high notes and Wyntons just acting cool in the mid to to low register. Then at 13:35 he’s says enough is enough.
Yeah exactly
He's more in the lineage of Louis Armstrong. The others are chasing Dizzy Gillespie.
Ah yes, Autoro Sanvol, my favourite trumpeter
Yeah right, then Arturo be like; "Hold my mouthpiece".
Let's be real now, he didn't expect that they was gonna Carry on bad like that, we know he is great.😊
Nobody:
Arturo Sandoval: *loud, fast trumpet noises on a chill blues background*
That's just his style I guess.
AMEN!!!!
It’s his style. Plus he’s a Latin artist
@@Jamiewaltjr He is Cuban, he played in Irakere too.
@@orlyaguilar152 his range above maynard tho, he's played a triple g like wtf
James Morrison get props for the most velvet-sexy voice throughout the registers.
Tim Crespin yes i agree. The Australian is the best by far. I’ve played on many occasions, he’s a lovely man
I'll give you props on that but the tongue control of Faddis is out of this world
@Chris F.
Class, my man. That's why.
I love watching John Faddis play. He makes it look so effortlesss and his technique is flawless.
They are all great. Wynton is the best at playing the blues, hands down.
Que chille😮
I love them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They each have their own style and own them
exactly, Will....... more people should appreciate that point.
What a lineup! Can't understand why people who comment have to compare, and be judgemental. They're ALL great!
That was the greatest trumpet music I've ever heard! Every single one of them was incredible! I just learned so much just from watching this. All four of them were truly Masters.
Some of the best trumpet players to ever live.
Props to the rhythm section. Play the sane blues changes over and over for 18 minutes.
Young Wynton's solos are lyrically well-structured and professorial - standard approach.
Arturo demonstrates speed, triple and double- tongue techniques with Maynardian altissimos.
Tommy swings progressively; speed, triple and double-tongue techniques with Maynardian overtones in context are manifested by him.
Jon is well-disciplined and effective as he summarizes the marvelous efforts of the other performers.
What a virtuosic treat!
Sounds like you know your stuff!
Who is tommy in this ?😂
Johnny Low he’s the one that isn’t wynton, Arturo or James
Wynton out of place here. Doesn’t have the chops to hang in a duel like this-esp with these guys.
Thought that was James Morrison ?
James Morrison!!!! His playing is really off the chart amazing, not only from a sound, power & compression stand point, but also, he is playing with heart & soul... Wow.
Marsalis como siempre con esa elegancia que lo caracteriza, sin gritería ni aspavientos.
Wynton Just kept it smooth and simplistic.. smooth jazz indeed!!
I love the four of them however when it comes to the blues Wynton is the Master of cool
Colin Berry I think the other three were going for hard bop
If you play the trumpet this is the highest quality ever alive playing. We all dream playing like that …we keep dreaming and practicing…jaja
All sound great! Arturo is a friend of mine. He's a great guy and I know he has such admiration for the other guys as well.
I like how Faddis incorporates the old and the modern styles. At 9:43 he throws in the first part of that famous trumpet solo/intro from Louis Armstrong on West End Blues. He makes it fit in a place where you don't expect.
Saw Faddis 25 years ago in Portland, ME with an 80 year old Clark Terry. Amazing show. My best friend is a professional trumpet player. We snuck back stage and they talked shop for a bit. Mr. Faddis was a very cool and laid back guy.
Arturo literally solos without a mouthpiece haha... 13:53
HOLY SHIT HE DOES LMAO
yea. So musical...
@@freeeeeeedy What exactly wasn't musical about it?
@capitalismforme
Yes, it was. Don't have a good ear, do you?
Hahaha dude blocked me. Definitely makes it look like he's telling the truth about being a session musician, doesn't it?
Everyone is great respectively but Wynston is so musical with his solos so I personally think that he did the best here. Everyone else was going for range and speed but he just killed it musicality wise
YOU ARE RIGHT!!! PLEASE READ "WYNTON IS THE GREATEST!!!" commentariesonthetimes.me/2016/08/02/wynton-is-the-greatest/
@10:13 wynton plays a descending pattern and Arturo comes in with an ascending pattern, not sure if that was coincidence or just quick thinking on Arturos part, whatever it was, it was dope
"Both are pure improvisation! Thank you very much for sharing your feelings, thoughts."
Joseph Noise I habitually do the same in a way, I try to transcribe the tenor players last lick, as I'm coming in lol
Call and response. That's one of the foundations of this music. Arturo was actually listening to Wynton and playing something that was related. It certainly was not (at least it seemed like it wasn't) coincidence. You can chose to build on what the person before you contributed, or you can make your own statement. The music is fun like that. Good observation.
It happens again between Arturo and Morrison at 10:36. Arturo plays this bluesy half valve thing at the end of his turn, and then Morrison repeats it exactly the way that Arturo played it. It's a way of saying, "I hear that...yeah man!" Think about regular conversation with your friends. Don't you do this kind of thing? Call and response...that's the traditional way of playing - you have to listen to what's happening around you and respond. It's fun!
holygroove2 I do
These gentlemen are amazing
I could not imagine going after any of them and each round they got better and better.
Just Brilliant.
People who have written disparaging comments about one player or another in this video are missing the point. It's a musical conversation, filled with humor and storytelling. It's like old friends getting together over beers, and it's pretty f*&king great, actually. It's fairly obvious to me which people commenting below still live in their parents' basements and claim to know things about improvised music that they really don't.
Agree, this is a bunch of the best masters of the trumpet letting their hair down and having a lot of fun. There is a lot of mutual respect between these guys too. Each one, took their sections to different places tailored by their styles and experience. What a wonderful piece of jazz and a stellar performance by some the the worlds greatest players.
djfly1212-I just got here and saw your comment right off, and I was surprised.
I live in my parent's basement. Well, it's just my mom's now, actually. My Dad died a couple of years ago, so she lives alone, except that I live in the basement apartment. I pay $400.00 a month in rent though, so I'm technically a tenant, but it's still my mother's house, and I still feel like a loser to live here even though it's a great place to live; I'm just being divorced after I yelled at my wife and grabbed her phone out of her hand and threw it across the room.
I was freaked out and upset because I was very delusional and hearing voices that people were about to die that night, and I was upset that she didn't believe me.
I went to jail for a couple days, and then I began hearing voices telling me to go back to Utah, so right away I got on a bus and my mother picked me up in Salt Lake City and took me back home. Shortly after that I was hospitalized and committed and drugged, and now I'm writing the single most frightening book of all time.
Anyway, I'm putting a book together, and I was taking a break and my friend sent me a text with a link to this video, and after reading your comment, I wanted you to know that I'm just writing a book about the end of the world that's gonna be the beginning of a terrible life for me, and my death as well, as I will be executed by my brothers and sisters and aunt in a few years for my supposed acts that they will believe that I committed before I was born.
So I write about the Laws of God and the end of the world in a basement apartment, and I used to play in highschool and college and I thought I would take a break and listen to some jazz, and it's all good.
MANY STYLES AND APPROACHES HEARD HERE IN JAZZ, BLUES, AND R/B. each of these are masters of the techniques and the genres. Anybody saying different just hasn't played horn and studied enough. Just sayin'.
Word
"Wynton does this... but Faddis did that.. but Arturo played so much faster!... but Morrison really got the lyrical nature of the blues..." B.S. No musician goes up on stage thinking that. You're spot on. Why can't we just enjoy 18 minutes of the same blues chords played four unique ways, and LEARN. They had fun, we should too.
Wynton, was the most musical to me. He didn't use gymnastics, just lyrical beauty.
Love Wynton Marsalis. Classy.
I'm scatching my head at the criticisms like "that's not the language of jazz" - the language of jazz is freedom; to break out of one mold and to examine the material from a different point of view. The high playing isn't bad. The fast playing isn't bad. The lyrical playing isn't bad. In fact it's all amazing. Is it straight up blues? No. That was a stepping off point. Did they step in different directions? You bet. That's what jazz is about - if we could incorporate this ability to listen to the interpretation of different ideas into an international context we might not be in shot a crap spot in history. Winton for Secretary General of the UN! Stop trying to make them sound the way you think they SHOULD sound and listen to what they're saying. (climbing slowly down from my soap box - this stuff gets harder all the time).
Quite a few of you on here say that you're professional musician, etc. ; well so am I and I find it interesting that you find playing fast and high equals being the "better player" totally ignoring the fact that in my opinion and a few others on here also that stylistically it did not move me at all because this was a swing blues, not a bebop contest. It was a testosterone filled ego battle, totally ignoring the context of the music and tradition. I think some of you forgot that jazz is the only art form that originated in America and it was invented and played by African Americans; now you've got white boy, academic musicians deciding whose is the superior musician among a bunch of greats based on your own preferences. If you think Winton can't play "fast" and high then you must not be familiar with his discography. He is the only trumpet player to win grammies in two categories in the SAME YEAR. Playing high and fast licks may be fascinating to some of you soulless drones; but to me the performance has to match the style of the music, which may include some flash; but not just for the sake of SHOWING OFF.
No, brother it’s anything in Ken Burns doc (RIP jazz) and/or anything in the Berkelee Real Book. Also play Parker faster than he ever did. More notes and loud is hip. Be serious though.
It’s a trumpet duel, pure and simple. Testosterone fueled, show me what you got! Wynton didn’t have the vocabulary to keep up. Not about screaming or bebop playing-just an old fashioned throw down. The 3 of them were throwing haymakers while Wynton was being Wynton and trying to be melodic. It wasn’t that type of jam session. Blues was the foundation, but there’s never been a trumpet duel that stayed strictly in a laid back blues style. If Maynard or Venutti or a dozen other guys had been out there they would’ve been screaming and showing off their technique. How cool was it to see Arturo play without his mouthpiece? That wasn’t about artistry, that was just having fun and showing off. I think you missed the point of the whole duel.
@@jazzman34100 Anyone who doesn't know that Jazz was founded by African Americans has their head in the sand. However, not all "white boys" are academic musicians, and just because they're white does not mean that they are less talented then African Americans or that they haven't earned their greatness. They have worked hard to become what they are; ALL of them. You don't become "a great" through someone else's hard work or because you didn't invent jazz. I am sorry that you are missing the point of four greats, regardless of how they got there, playing for the enjoyment of it. Let's face it, ALL MUSICIANS have a bit of testosterone in them; when the music takes us away, it becomes a battle against self.
@@marknekoba6561 You sound like one of my junior high music students or better yet a rank amateur. This wasn't a freakin' duel.
Greatest trumpet video on UA-cam
I find so much comedy in this. Always makes me laugh.
Like watching a classic boxing match of two great warriors. To close to score a winner without diminishing another in the group. But on a side note. If you want pure entertainment that is electrifying and exciting to watch. #1. Phil Driscoll playing the Shofar horn at the White House, he had them spell bound. #2 Doc Severinsen and Sandocal. #3. Al Hirt. Lets just call them the Magnificent Seven of the trumpet playing wizards. We are blessed to have them as are mentors for sure to inspire the younger generation of players. Like the Ali, Frazier, Norton, Shaver Era. Perhaps never to be seen again. Thank you for posting this video. Sending it out to some younger relatives that are playing now. I played the Bach and traveled around the country during college break. Only to discover, traveling in bands was not my cup of tea. Gonna Fly Now. Cheers.
Al Hirt could double and triple tongue with perfect staccato and beautiful tone.
He will always be in a class by himself, not to belittle anybody else.
@@richardwalker9826 Point well taken but not sure about class all by himself.
They all are incredible,BUT
James Morrison opens a portal to another dimension ❗
This guy is not from our planet.
In art and particulier in music above one certain level there is NO the best !
It's not a Mathematics, it's music.
But here James kind of dwarfs them all.
Personal opinion of course
4 great musicians. 4 great sounds! Luv it!!!
What a great chance to see CLEARLY everyone's embouchures & hand positions (each little detail counts!) Thanks so much, Joseph! John.
What an enjoyable 18 minutes eh?!! Outstanding!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it..! From trumpet masters you can only expect wonders like these.
Absolutely!
I love the good comments here, explaining who they like and why they like their style without bashing the other players.
16:01 WTF WAS THAT!!! That sounded cool as hell
Why did I laugh so hard at this comment?
Sounds like arpeggio that comes from whole-tone scale, some augmented stuff.
Yeah, sounds like whole tone arpeggios
OMG, we heard this so often from an old VHS recording... Never got boring :-))))))))
Wynton Marsalis é um fenômeno 🎺🔥🎺
I was able to see Sandoval Live in concert at Epcot center a number of years back. He is awesome doing his latin style !!
13:35 WHAT an awesome entrance from Marsalis! 🎺
I like how Morrison is so into each solos and such.
If you ever played trumpet at a high level, it's easy to hear that James Morrison is on another level. The guy is a musical savant, a monster in the jazz community.
I normally listen to sax players since I play sax, but these guys are just insane. Incredibly refreshing to hear this.
Holy crap this is probably my favorite thing I've ever seen on UA-cam
i love morrison the best white trumpetor ive heard & arturo sanduval off the chart style & panache
I hate it when people compare. Everyone of these geniuses bring their own style to the table.
That solo from Arturo at 10:21 is one of my favourite bits of the whole song because of how lyrical it is in sense that it carries Wynton's solo so well, sort of like finishing a sentence or a story for him.
Wynton Marsalis best sound
Arturo é insano, porém o Marsalis tem um som de blues original ,lindo!!! São os 4 monstros
Son unos monstruos. Cada uno es tan bueno como el otro y viceversa. Fabulosos!!!!
Each style is distinctive. I love them alll
ARTURO'S UNBELIEVABLE!!! VIRTUOUSSSSSSSSSSSS... INCREDIBLE!!! A GENIUS MUSICAL!!! UNIQUE!!!
Very... playing with heart & soul Wow !!
I friggin LOVE it! As a trombonist, I draw a lot of inspiration from these gentlemen!
Wynton marsalis siempre será mi eterno trompetista favorito
I’m a huge Wynton and Arturo fan, but Morrison showed out here!
Joy Faith You are wrong, Wynton have better control of the trumpet than all of them.
But not than Arturo.
Never gets old to listen to. Unbelievable performances!
Lot of talent on that stage, no doubt about it!!!
Masters of their craft !
Wow, such talent, and I got to hear it.
Quite a fun conversation between 3 of those trumpet players.
Oh what are so great musicians, simply awesome!
Arturo is amazing and ss is Wynton. Don't know why it has to be a competition. They're just having fun, so just enjoy these monsters at work
I JUST FIND AUTURO ANNOYING!!! I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION!!!
john faddis is watching wynton like i wish i was as good as you!
James Morrison was really good. He's very lyrical. I liked him as much as any of them. Arturo is a great technician but his sound is a little caustic. They're all fuckin' great though. What did we ever do without UA-cam?
Wynton and James way classier than the other two. All legends though!
I've just been to trumpet heaven!
This is literally incredible wow
who in the WORLD gave this a Thumbs down ??? 4 of the GREATS in the Industry !!!
When you know how to play, and you take the guess workout of playing music, you get this, best trumpet/jazz/mambo, and blues players the world has ever seen. Where my glass of whiskey on the rocks and suit at. Can't forget my trumpet
Os 4 Gênios do Trumpet!!!! Que Show Maravilhoso! Infindos Aplausos!
INCREDIBLE!!
Thank you for posting
Thanks!!!
Glad to see the masters with their own individual styles and flavors of the night. Some more lyrical, some technically insane. Next show they'll all each play something different! I've never seen Wynton play same show 2 nights in a row, lol.
.
Marsalis é um fenômeno 🎺
Masterful!!!! Absolutely Magnificent
This is stunning....the communication and fun generated by the improvisation and superb talent of these great musiciansisbeyond description.
Wynton got the best sound.
Wonderful, Galactico four giants of the trumpet
They all did wonderful
Ensamblado hace muchos años, los intérpretes están vigentes y tiene cada uno su propio sonido espectacular.
Cada um no seu estilo e se divertindo juntos isso foi maravilhoso, todos mestre que show outro nível!
It doesn't really matter who I like best as they are all great. I just wish I was there at the time!!
Everyone who holds the trumpet in this video is one of the great masters. But Wynton has all possibilities of a trumpet sportsman of a major league, but he doesn't participate in a general race, he does his craft as a great artist by gradually painting his picture with the thinnest paintbrush 1:21
A crossover that you don't need and expect but is here anyways and you enjoyed it.
*THIS VIDEO*
I like what they do.
How can I also be like them
Can we just talk about 14:01? Jon's reaction when James points it out is hilarious
And it sounds so GOOD too!
Gracias! es un documental de un momento grandioso en un escenario con unos grandiosos trompetistas, Wow!
Just wonderful
Now that was a class.
All & Each quite entertaining in their own ways!!!!
James is a fantastic player and has an incredible stage presence as does Arturo, Marsalis has more of a smooth classic jazz style and Faddis is a blend of the 2
very good ~~~!!!
The sheer whiplash at 11:26 will never stop being hilarious to me
Every time a jazz musician solos, he give the listeners a little piece of his soul. He communicates that through his version of the song. And each musician seeks his own sound to communicate through his horn. These four trumpeters are all GIANTS. And they are all different. As Ray Fallon said a few months ago, "the language of jazz is freedom". That freedom allows some to play way up high, others way down low. Some with 32nd and even 64th notes, some with long tones, some very fast, some very slowly, etc. That is how they use their instruments to COMMUNICATE. Some listeners hear it, some do not. So to try and rank them one versus the other, is a foolish task because your ears are different from someone else's. Best we can do is state our preference as an opinion. In this case we hear 4 GIANTS. There will be people who like one, or two, or three or all four of them.
There will also be people who quibble with the tempo of Billie's Bounce and try and tell others what the correct tempo or feel should be. That too is just a personal opinion. As is the opinion that those players should not play it way up high. And on and on and on. They forget that jazz is freedom. Plus, maybe they never heard Dizzy play it rapidly and way up high on his album "To Bird With Love."
I remember some very sage advice I got from a bass player gig buddy of mine after we went to the 5 Spot in NYC circa 1959 to hear Ornette Coleman, along with Charlie Haden on bass, and if I remember correctly, Don Cherry, trumpet and Billy Higgins, drums. As we left, I said that I was not too sure whether I liked or understood the music they played. My friend said: "perhaps your ears aren't ready for it yet."
He was right. As I continued to listen to Coleman et al, I realized that they were one of the most together bands I ever heard.
Turned into squeak central! Love it❤
