On July 25, 2012, Wynton with Ali Jackson, Victor Goines, Marcus Printup and Chris Crenshaw performed at St. John's Church in London, in memory of trumpet player Abram Wilson
I was honoured to have attended this celebration of Abram's life, and how glorious it was to take part such a tradition on the streets of London! Thank you for the music, Abram. Still can't believe you're not with us. Continue to RIP. Your legacy lives on.
I used to often have lunch with Abram and some other music majors. Once just to poke fun, I took a glass partially filled with water and knocked it with my knife and asked them what note that was. Being tone deaf, I wasn't expecting them to be able to do it but they seriously started discussing the note. I was blown away by how serious they were. I remember his rendition of flight of bumble bee. That was the only time I heard him play. Other than that I just remember him as a quiet, sincere and good natured guy.
Greetings from Sweden. I hope that I some day get to witness a second line such as this. Not necessarily for a funeral, though it is a beautiful way to pay your respects.
I am just old enough to truly appreciate the sight of the older white gentleman walking along with the black gentleman, holding an umbrella over him so that the black gentleman is shaded from the sun as he marches and plays. In my youth, when racism was so common and virulent we wouldn't have seen that often, if at all. I, a member of the over privileged white world began to see that world as well as my place in it as a young teen.
I'm not from down south, but I'm pretty sure that in Louisiana specifically, they have one day of mourning and one day of celebration/remembrance when someone dies.
Nostalgia and chagrin seem to have the better of Mr. Marsallis who is as emotional as he is full of pathetic merriment, so to speak. It's understandable, for Wynton is himself a great trumpeter and an excellent connoisseur and adjudicator of prolific talent and of good music. Abram has been all of this, and much more. RIP! Gone so soon; gone so so young.
He definitely is overthinking. I guess looking at such a talented handsome black American man, must conjure enough feelings of inferiority to the point of writing backhanded commentary using 2 dollar words, to make himself feel like a superior continental African.
S'il vous plait ne m evoyez pas systématiquement des vidéos de ce que je viens d'écouter. J'aime la découverte aussi. Laissée moi choisir dans ce cas. Toutefois je vous reconnais d'apporter à ma connaissance des sujets que je n aurais pas cherché. C'est l'abondance des vidéos d'un même sujet une fois regardé qui me fâche. Merci.

Tough gig Mr Marsalis. Hard to be there to pay respects when people are all “dude, do you know who the horn player is?” Love and respect.
That's Marcus Printup

I like seeing things like this musicians coming together having a fun time together and playing with each other
best way to honour a loved-one and celebrate life
I played this last year, and trust me: this is some of the most fun you can have while playing the trumpet! RIP Mr. Wilson.
Sounds like there is a French quarter in London too. Sounds just like the bands in New Orleans. Love it. R.I.P. Abram Wilson.

מוסיקה מהלב של הנגנים אין צורך בתווים הלב והנשמה שלהם נותן להם את הקצב הגוף שלהם מנגן ....

Brass n horn sections need to comeback to Broadway to rock to pop n mainstream music scene not just jazz. Sadly needed and missing in today's world.
Heavenly....so sorry i missed this.

They mourn on the way to the funeral. After the service, it's time to celebrate the life that was, time to party !
RESPECT
I swear, I heard this song before when I was a very little child, and coming back to it now is pretty cool

Jaysus. "Pathetic merriment"? Doing a good job of over thinking human emotion there bud.
He definitely is overthinking. I guess looking at such a talented handsome black American man, must conjure enough feelings of inferiority to the point of writing backhanded commentary using 2 dollar words, to make himself feel like a superior continental African.
Hoping the very unfortunate choice of words is a language issue. Mr. Marsalis is a genius deserving respect.
great!
Looks like Wynton's a little warm.
Who else is here because their choir teacher is teaching jazz
Anyone know what this tune is called?
The song is called Second Line or Joe Avery's Blues.
Yes
I do
