Lew Soloff in a timeless performance of Georgia on My Mind complete with talis like scarf for residents of the Peach State. He was the complete musician. Beautiful.
Nathan, Lew and I were life long friends...were in HS together...and before I went full time into composing and piano I used to play trumpet.....in HS Lew and I came in one chair a part in NJ All State Band.....yeah...he came in ahead of me....:) He and I kept taking about doing an improv album together.......too late now....
At a Carla Bley concert in Manchester UK, I asked if the band would be doing a 'signing'. The girl who I asked went away and came back to tell me "No". But then guided me back stage to a room where most of the band sat on basic chairs (no frills). I was dumbstruck. Suddenly in this room with Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, and Gary Valente and such. They all signed my CD and on the way out of the room I bumped into Andy Sheppard who was surprised at me being there, until i explained why. He also kindly signed my 4x4 album sleeve. I thought that was it and, to be honest, would have been grateful had it ended there. The girl then took me up some stairs to another room. I don't know why but she did. She knocked on the door and Lew Soloff opened it. I'd never met him before and was a complete stranger to him but I've never met anyone who was so gracious, welcoming and friendly. One of the greatest instrumentalists in the world was treating me like I was more special than him. I will never forget that moment. I cried my eyes out when I heard he had died. Beautiful man. Beautiful music.
Wow... Wow. Liquid gold thru four octaves, growling, he played his mouthpiece, and finished the rendition with pedal tones. What a loss. Sleep well, sir.
Ten minutes of pure heaven. Kenny on piano was perfect whilst drummer Che underplayed his role beaitifully. Greatly appreciated this. Thank you so much. More if you've got any please.
lew soloff era la tromba della gil evans orchestra alla edizione di Umbria Jazz che ebbi la fortuna di ascoltare. questa sua lettura di Georgia secondo me è meravigliosa e risente senz'altro del 'mood' gilevansiano. BUON NATALE A TUTTI!!!
As emotive as an singer. All soul and no artifice. Transcends the horn itself, while seemingly referencing every significant expressive element of the trumpet's cumulative vocabulary, going back to Louis Armstrong. True mastery, but never for its own sake. In a word? SOUL.
Hiroyuki, This is the producer of the video you are commenting on. Mr. Soloff unfortunately passed away on March 8, 2015 in New York City. You might be interested in checking out this link from the same show but with many different songs. I entitled it , "Seven Songs" and it shows most of the songs that Lew performed on this particular night. Rest in peace, Lew. th-cam.com/video/mEMGJnn9J_4/w-d-xo.html
Does anyone know the trumpet and MP Lew Soloff preferred? I seem to recall it was the Schilke B6 trumpet, also what Chase used, but I'm not sure. Thanks

Nathan East OMG.! You are Nathan East!!!
@@sirbil hey what hs did you two attend?
One of the very BEST. Lew Soloff was so very talented....
An absolute master. And the backing trio acquit themselves nicely.
Legend. There will never be another like Lew.
Unreal. A legend that I grew up idolizing in the 70's.
Doug Wolfgram Thanks for posting. RIP Lew!
Wow. I played trumpet. but not like that, of course, but wished I did.. ;)
It is sad when an idol leaves us. I grew up idolizing Maynard Ferguson when I was a young jazz student on trumpet. So I know how you feel.

Growling and flutter tongue. RIP Lew
I'm lucky I got to meet Lew many times over the years. He was a genuine guy and always cracked me up. I loved his secret pouch of mystery mouth pieces
May he rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us

Lot's more! About seven songs worth. Enjoy, Ronald!

wowowowowow
He was All
Repose en paix !
Go Georgia Bulldogs!!
i didnt know Ray Charles could play the drums too
Does the scarf have something to do with the Jewish faith?
Perhaps. I remember Lew telling me that night that the scarf was given to him by Paul Shaffer.
