Yes, because he unashamedly and expertly follows Bechet. Bob Wilber by contrast seems to always want to leave him behind and be his own man. The trouble is he doesn’t much to offer.
Nigrum Romanum before i watched the video, I thought you meant his trombone sounds like louis's trumpet but as soon as i heard him i was like " wait is Louis singing right now?"
Seamus McGuoirk really the pixie mute doesn't change the sound of the trombone too much, but when combined with the plunger mute a great sound is produced
As in saxophonist, I know how temperamental the soprano can be. He truly is of the highest caliber player. And Wycliffe going full Charlie Brown in that solo is just amazing
Same here. I really don't understand why anybody would want to play one of those things. It's hard to make them sound good, but this guy is amazing. Really beautiful.
It's like these two instruments are giving a guided tour of a lazy paradise, the trombonist showing you its naughtier streets. It's a seduction. They're begging the listener to stay.
Axel Baumgarten He's not the only one that can do it, there are several trombonists that can do it, however it is extremely difficult and he is one of the best.
The smile on the Sax player's face when he looks at the rest and knows he's killing it, awesome. Few things prettier than a musician proud of his own work
I'm a Saxophone player and that Trombone solo works so perfectly with some mood changes. It goes from a happy time theme to an instant Mafia or Casino type theme
It’s on Spotify, though not the same recording, and I don’t think contains a trombone solo. It’s under the Sidney Bechet Quintet, and/or Olivier Franc.
0:50 everybody in the band is smiling 'cause the sax player ate up the trombone's cue with another fill into a longer solo. not without reason, though. that guy can play!
If anyone wants to hear how the old masters did it, listen to Laurence Brown blow with Duke Ellington’s orchestra in Paris 1963. m.th-cam.com/video/UCukq7uYicE/w-d-xo.html his segment starts 1:20 or so
Was listening to this song the other day at the airport. Had my wife next to me and a cocktail in hand while we were waiting to start our travels. Life is beautiful.
I can totally imagine myself eating pastries with a large coffee near the castle (Jackson Square) in the French Quarter of NOLA again... Greetings from Europe!
I ran into this comment before watching the video and was like, "That's a tall order." Then I heard the song and was like "Damn it. He's absolute right." What a seriously beautiful sound and melody he produced. That, with the resonating acoustics lingering from the vibrato, was like swimming in a pleasant dream.
Oh my god. I just listened to this 4 times in a row. I'm just now getting into all this jazz and blues and all that. Can't believe what I've been missing all my life. I grew up watching Hey Arnold (the cartoons) and loving the music so I looked into Jim Lang and then ended up here. 'Tis but the start of the rabbit hole.
What a showman Olivier Franc is, and what a musician! They're all great. I am so amused by Dan Nimmer at the piano. The straight man in a band of comedians! Love 'em all.
When you can have a jazz band so good that it takes looking at the list of names to realize it has FKING WYNTON MARSALIS IN IT you know just how good all of them are
Everyone hyping the sax when Wycliffe literally just made my favorite moment in jazz. Tf. When he went all smooth and soft, you can hear the guy next to him go, "wow" and that's exactly how I felt when i first listened to that trombone solo.
what a talented group. this reminds me of when i was in New Orleans in 1999 and went to Preservation Hall. it was another time and so special in so many ways.the floor boards had holes in them and you had to mind your step. that man on the trombone sounds like Louie Armstrong singing. and the man on the sax was stellar. so much ambience and feeling going into such timeless and evocative music. WOW - thank you!
1:00 You know that's some good jazz when even your band mates get the "Mmm!" out. 1:51 And it has to be an astonishing solo to get that "Noice" from your band mates.
1:48 hahaha the other guy is like: Daaaamn son. What's the thing Wycliffe uses for the effect on the trombone? Looks like that thing to clean the toilet hahaa. Nice piece of music waaaaauuwww
Yup, it's called a mute. I'm a jazz trombonist, and I use this. Really fun to make the waaaauuuwww sound you were talking about. It's also used on trumpet.
Swa Swabapapa it's a mute with a plunger.Dont use a plunger if you use it for your towel It and take off the stick part.I think you can buy or get a mute.
It is not a song. Nobody sang anything; no lyrics were sung; there was no singer. Are you getting the message? If you heard anyone singing, consult a doctor.
it's a different version sadly (still very good!) but if you want this specific version with wycliffe gordon, you can convert this to an mp3 and put it in your spotify.
the dude playing the clarinet looks happy af, makes me happy as well , makes it give it that feel that they are good friend that used to play in a band and decided to do it again and they are just having fun doing it, I love that feeling.
That saxophonist looks so happy it makes me happy.
Jiji
Oliver Franc is just perfect. His expressions and emotions really add to the feel, and his smile is contagious!
the trombonist looks so miserable
Same with the dude on the clarinet
@@edanpino5035 theres no clarinet in the band what
1:51 the unmistakable "uh" of a man who loves what he's hearing
And the stank face to go with it
@@Grottgreta wynton!
he does another at 1:00 lol
He is saying "uh", he is saying "oh damn" wich is so much better
IK I SAW IT I WAS LIKE “ mmmmh-m that was NASTY” then the man goes “uh” like he KNOWS
Even as a trombone player. I really enjoyed that saxophone solo.
TJ Pitchford same
Ur photo is a sax...
Poopoo 69 it's a *meme*
TJ Pitchford just as a musician, how can you not.
Is that one guy using a special type of sax that I never seen or anything or am I missing something
I have literally never heard such amazing Saxophone playing, props to the Soprano Saxophonist, that shit's amazing.
Is that not a clarinet or am I a loon
@@waynebrady4756 No it's not, it's a soprano saxophone, don't worry lol.
@@waynebrady4756 Wait til you hear they got a sopranino saxophone too!
Yes, because he unashamedly and expertly follows Bechet. Bob Wilber by contrast seems to always want to leave him behind and be his own man. The trouble is he doesn’t much to offer.
@@romansans1 What I thought that was a drum
oh my god, I love that feeling when you get the goosebumps and warm feeling when you hear a trombone speak
Heck ya! I know exactly what you mean. I can't help but have a goofy smile on my face through the whole thing.
That's cause trombone just the best
Check out Jeff Chilton from Pdx
In a few killer groups round here
YESS
He made that thang walk and talk!
The Trombone sounded like Louis Armstrong
Nigrum Romanum before i watched the video, I thought you meant his trombone sounds like louis's trumpet but as soon as i heard him i was like " wait is Louis singing right now?"
Its called a pixie mute, love the sound of those things.
Seamus McGuoirk really the pixie mute doesn't change the sound of the trombone too much, but when combined with the plunger mute a great sound is produced
Louis was his own brass instrument,tbh
i was thinking the same exact thing!!
As in saxophonist, I know how temperamental the soprano can be. He truly is of the highest caliber player. And Wycliffe going full Charlie Brown in that solo is just amazing
Charlie browns dad talks about quantum physics
Same here. I really don't understand why anybody would want to play one of those things. It's hard to make them sound good, but this guy is amazing. Really beautiful.
It's like these two instruments are giving a guided tour of a lazy paradise, the trombonist showing you its naughtier streets. It's a seduction. They're begging the listener to stay.
this description is perfect, what the hell
@@arcanehornet You can almost feel a sweltering sun shining down, highlighting all the debauchery.
@@dbrbruce9950 dafuq
what
you could not have described this perfectly dude.
00:00 - 2:52 absolute perfection. Goosebumps all the way through
Yup. The first time I heard it I almost cried lol and I have no shame in saying that
The mute on that trombone solo reminded me of Louis Armstrong’s voice!!!!
Its called a pixie mute
@@froggyfan no one asked lug nut
I have come back to listen to Wycliffe's solo at least once a month for years.
You know you've done something right when Wynton gives you the "uhn" 1:50
I came on here for wycliffe but now I'm enamoured with that soprano sax. High note popping at 0:35
Zane Eshaghian that vibrato at the end!
1:26-2:09 it looks so easy and sounds that way. But if it was, he wouldn' t be the only one who can do it!
Axel Baumgarten He's not the only one that can do it, there are several trombonists that can do it, however it is extremely difficult and he is one of the best.
+Axel Baumgarten It takes a lot of practice and finesse to play with a plunger mute like that, and some coordination ;)
That doesn't sound easy to me, but maybe it's because I'm a trombonist myself
@TopTierVillain what’s stopping you? Pick up that horn!
its his air that makes it sound so good and his pitch
That opening... I can’t get over how good it is.
1:50 "Huh"
Joe Phillips THATS MY FAVORITE PART. hes like...."holy shit didnt know you could do that "
the best part
Almost made the exact same comment but with, "What?"
thats what I call approval hahaha
Huh
That trombone solo was so dirty
That's the magic
Cleaner than you
He was using dirty as a good thing frieza
Dan The Crayon lol
It's called jazz
I'm not sure I've ever heard a soprano sax played like that! That's an old style clarinet technique.
Sidney Bechet used to play the soprano sax and clarinet like that. I think that’s what this saxophone player was trying to imitate here. Great video!
It sounds like Sidney Bechet.
french vibrato iirc
@@lfugh1 too much for my tastes. Can't focus on the technicality and blend as easily. Still great performance though.
@@johnwilson7618 yea def not my favorite. i can think of only one piece where i really enjoy it
0:40 The way he rotated his head was extremely satisfying in my opinion
Something out of a Disney movie kind of. Whenever the one of the characters would shake their head while talking.
The smile on the Sax player's face when he looks at the rest and knows he's killing it, awesome. Few things prettier than a musician proud of his own work
And he knows Gordon's gonna kill it too. Totally in control those guys, you can feel how laid back they are...man music is amazing
@@juliansmith-mclallen1784 i still dont understand the tone on the sax man, it's something else but likewise, very laid back
Anyone here just to watch that Sax player move as he plays? Damn, that looks fun and sounds beautiful.
This legitimately made me tear up because it was so beautiful
no cap
Literally the single greatest piece of non lyrical music I’ve ever heard hands down
i personally prefer non lyrical music in general (not always of course)
Oh this piece is lyrical. Their just not spoken
"non lyrical"?? Do you mean "instrumental"?
I'm a Saxophone player and that Trombone solo works so perfectly with some mood changes. It goes from a happy time theme to an instant Mafia or Casino type theme
Why is this not on spotify? 😢 would love to play this whenever... not just on youtube
Download this video by using a 'TH-cam to mp3' website, and then import it into spotify. Search it up, it's not hard at all. :)
Same
It’s on Spotify, though not the same recording, and I don’t think contains a trombone solo. It’s under the Sidney Bechet Quintet, and/or Olivier Franc.
I was thinking the same thing, I wish there was an easier way to listen to this
@@connorfitzgerald5773 Just convert it to mp3 and upload it to your Sohndcloud or whatever. Not that hard
i just love the single "Uh" by marsalis just sums up how much soul was in that solo
This is the music you hear in paradise
I will never get over that beautiful start
Wynton cracks me up man with that ‘unh’ when wycliffe hit that nasty ass phrase
0:50 everybody in the band is smiling 'cause the sax player ate up the trombone's cue with another fill into a longer solo. not without reason, though. that guy can play!
They got the plan... Thats it
I dont like that he did that. I wanted more of the dirty trombone!
@@cridler2 yeah, but you gotta admit, that sax player got a fat sound.
If anyone wants to hear how the old masters did it, listen to Laurence Brown blow with Duke Ellington’s orchestra in Paris 1963. m.th-cam.com/video/UCukq7uYicE/w-d-xo.html
his segment starts 1:20 or so
No it s a 32 bars. There is no cutting. That was the plan.
Was listening to this song the other day at the airport. Had my wife next to me and a cocktail in hand while we were waiting to start our travels. Life is beautiful.
Hope life's been treating you just as well as it did on that day at the airport.
0:01 man said *_E_*
this is the funniest comment i’ve ever read
Ngl me and my friends started laughing our asses off at this
Eh ooh ooh
The soloists are wonderful for sure, but the trombone player is simply brilliant.
sick use of dynamics at 1:47 - 1:54
Outstanding
YES I keep replaying that part over and over it's incredible
I can totally imagine myself eating pastries with a large coffee near the castle (Jackson Square) in the French Quarter of NOLA again... Greetings from Europe!
they should make a little short animation with this it would be great
As a listener of classical music, I really enjoyed listening to that saxophone solo. Listened 5 times back to back.
That saxophone is just about the best instrument I’ve ever heard.
I ran into this comment before watching the video and was like, "That's a tall order." Then I heard the song and was like "Damn it. He's absolute right." What a seriously beautiful sound and melody he produced. That, with the resonating acoustics lingering from the vibrato, was like swimming in a pleasant dream.
Oh my god. I just listened to this 4 times in a row. I'm just now getting into all this jazz and blues and all that. Can't believe what I've been missing all my life. I grew up watching Hey Arnold (the cartoons) and loving the music so I looked into Jim Lang and then ended up here. 'Tis but the start of the rabbit hole.
Sonny Clark Deep Night and Hank Mobley Soul Station
I love the evident passion in all of the players
What a showman Olivier Franc is, and what a musician! They're all great. I am so amused by Dan Nimmer at the piano. The straight man in a band of comedians! Love 'em all.
Yes!!! The Trombone is lovely and amazing a aspire to be that good.
1:46 if I had a dollar for the amount of times i've replayed that lick i'd honestly be a millionaire lmao
Man, i been replaying that part this year, almost every day, puts me in awe of what humans can produce, i see all mellow.
Oliver Franc's happiness is contagious, and his playing just adds to that! Truly amazing!
Nothing has made me sorely regret giving up trombone like watching this.
It's never too late to pick it back up! I'm 35 and decided to play the flute for fun :)
I think the trombone was tryna talk to me.
I loved how happy the sax guy was when he played his solo
Whoever came here has a great taste in music
thank you sir
So do you!
Absolutely
Thank you my good sir
Aw, thanks. That means you too, buddy
When you can have a jazz band so good that it takes looking at the list of names to realize it has FKING WYNTON MARSALIS IN IT you know just how good all of them are
I really love the trombone part at 1:01 just floating above the melody
Yep
I was about to click away, but I was immediately hooked at 0:03. What a sound these men can make!
1:11 i love when Goines is just wading like hes in a field. hes feelin it
Everyone hyping the sax when Wycliffe literally just made my favorite moment in jazz. Tf.
When he went all smooth and soft, you can hear the guy next to him go, "wow" and that's exactly how I felt when i first listened to that trombone solo.
Love the look Wynton gives Wycliff about 1:50.
Guy's face even at 2:06 is still epic :)
Yeah what a random guy lol
Sevyy LOOOOOOL
@@babyz7750 loooooooool
Dustin Epple ayyyyyy I love Jazz, you like Jazz?
2:01 crash bandicoot
The sax soprano solo by Olivier Franc is absolutely divine.
I could listen to this over and over….and I will
what a talented group. this reminds me of when i was in New Orleans in 1999 and went to Preservation Hall. it was another time and so special in so many ways.the floor boards had holes in them and you had to mind your step. that man on the trombone sounds like Louie Armstrong singing. and the man on the sax was stellar. so much ambience and feeling going into such timeless and evocative music. WOW - thank you!
Came here for some easy listening, took that check to the bank. Absolutely incredible.
1:25 thats what they used for the teacher in charlie brown
R_ _down XDDD
Yep
My first true encounter with jazz and I've never looked back since then, thank you for such beautiful music ❤
That Trombone solo is the best thing I have heard in 10 years. What filth!
1:00 You know that's some good jazz when even your band mates get the "Mmm!" out.
1:51 And it has to be an astonishing solo to get that "Noice" from your band mates.
Oh Howie wish we stayed in this era of music, it's so wonderful and beautiful
This music is still being played all over the world, in addition to other great genres of music that came before and after
OLIVIER FRANC ON SOPRANO SAX.
Can we appreciate how high that trombone part is even though he makes it sound effortless
His trombone sounds like it’s singing..... and I love it
That first solo is still soooo damn good,
This song makes me remember memories that don't exist
When they say, “The music speaks to you,” they are talking about the trombone solo.
1:48 hahaha the other guy is like: Daaaamn son. What's the thing Wycliffe uses for the effect on the trombone? Looks like that thing to clean the toilet hahaa. Nice piece of music waaaaauuwww
That'd be a toilet plunger without the handle. I can't tell if you already knew that but just in case you didn't, now you know. :)
Yup, it's called a mute. I'm a jazz trombonist, and I use this. Really fun to make the waaaauuuwww sound you were talking about. It's also used on trumpet.
Pixie mute with plunger.
Swa Swabapapa it's a mute with a plunger.Dont use a plunger if you use it for your towel It and take off the stick part.I think you can buy or get a mute.
Marsalis is hearing the bending sound and the great notes . Gordon the Great is putting out !!!
Oliver Franc .... broooo , u feel everyy note mah man....
Humans are amazing creatures. Wycliffe truly speaks to the universe.
Olivier Franc is putting the soul into the Soprano Sax. Wycliffe Gordon is forever legendary.
Beautiful composition and sax solo - trombone though is unreal!
This is Classic Jazz I believe lol--this was solo amazing!!! I play trombone, and this made my day!
This tune gives me a feeling of longing for what was. It all feels so nostalgic
A very well made song. It gives me the feeling of a peaceful end to life and a good end. Excellent peformance and music🤯🤯
It is not a song. Nobody sang anything; no lyrics were sung; there was no singer. Are you getting the message? If you heard anyone singing, consult a doctor.
@@DieFlabbergast i think YOU need a doctor, urguently at that
1:47 gave me gossebumps
damn the opening solo is just mindblowingly good
so happy i can enjoy this music
DAMN that trombone is SOOOOOOOOOO gooood
this is such a treat of a song, i hope it's on spotify lol
it's a different version sadly (still very good!) but if you want this specific version with wycliffe gordon, you can convert this to an mp3 and put it in your spotify.
No, it isn't. It's NOT a song. No lyrics were sung. If you heard anyone singing, you should see a psychiatrist.
@@DieFlabbergast you don’t hear lyrics??? everyone else does..
The vibes bro like they jus vibin playin music and stuff like it’s so peaceful bro
My favorite trombone solo. Soprano sax is so smooth as well. I'm seeing Wynton this weekend!
3AM in my bed but I can't sleep, just listening to this beautiful music gives me peace of mind
I could listen to this all day long
I’ve listened to this one chart an immeasurable amount of times :^)
I am now obsessed with this thanks youtube recommended
I showed this to my band director back in high-school, whos a trombone player, he lost his shit laughing.
why did he laugh
Wonderful song and trombone solo.....
omg...now this is what I live for...
Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja JA JAaaaaaaaa, wau wau wau wauuuu waaa ja ja jaaaaa
.. just me? okay
👍🏿👍🏿 exactly 🤣🤣
Trompete players...joke ahahah
“Vocal scat solo or trombone solo?”
Wycliffe: Yes
Absolutely filthy solo from the trombone. Loved it!
the dude playing the clarinet looks happy af, makes me happy as well , makes it give it that feel that they are good friend that used to play in a band and decided to do it again and they are just having fun doing it, I love that feeling.
Aquafina Perez you mean soprano sax?
Aquafina Perez that’s not a clarinet..
Quelle merveilleuse mélodie, Merci Olivier d'avoir ressorti cette composition inédite. Tu es vraiment l'émule de Sidney Bechet.
That Saxophonist looks so enthusiastic about it, it's so amazing
Reminds me very fondly of Sidney on his soprano...in other words this is just lovely
goosebumps, all phenomenal
the trombone is exquisite i can't believe how warm and moody it is
