Man, this is one of the greatest examples of circular breathing demonstrated so beautifully by Harry Carney. That was true artistry. I play this song as a set closer, not nearly as well as the Duke and his men, but I keep trying. For KG!!!
Michael DuBick Michael Jackson est un 30ème le retard de la photo je parlais de la photo avec le message s'il vous ai envoyé la vidéo comme vous la vidéo comme vous le dites si bien qu'il est possible que je passe chez toi à vous le savez bien sûr que si on ne sait jamais à faire Désolé pour la vidéo comme vous le savez bien sûr que si on ne peut pas
no doubt, and it was the Duke's genius who even thought about voicing the baritone right out front of the horn section...i mean, who does that? but wow could harry coaxe some sweetness outa that bari
Possibly the best bari sax solo ever played. If you close your eyes, he sometimes sounds like an alto and then sometimes sounds like a tenor. From subtone to throat growl, with impeccable taste, he even throws in circular breathing at the end! WOW!
Without a doubt, the finest baritone sax solo ever recorded. I wish I could have witnessed the initial reaction of Gerry Mulligan, Pepper Adams, Ronnie Cuber & Steve Kupka after they heard this for the first time! It's a shame that the bari sax is such an underappreciated instrument for so long---When I bring mine on stage, people still ask me what the hell it is!
This was a revelation. And I’ve heard a ton of Ellington. What tone Carney had! Duke cared about two things. Swing and tone. You needed both to play in his band. Such elegant and timeless music. The Soul wrenching lyrics are always in mind as he okays.
I've listened to Duke since about 5 years ago, and the amount of people from my generation discovering Duke due to Big Mouth makes me happy to be a musician, and a huge fan of him. To you Duke, The one that got me into Jazz.
Another one of Duke's great songs, Sophisticated Lady. Harry Carney compliments this haunting melody with one of the most "beautifully expressive" instrumental solos I have heard. Dan Damon (career musician)
I listen to this track about 20 times a month or so. I love this moment in time. I wish I could have experienced it in person. What a performance and what a group of wonderful talent. I can't get enough. In heaven I would love to meet all of these guys.
@@geraldjohnson4013... You put it as it should be put. One of my favourites is actually Canadian, LOL... genius Oscar Peterson but this drummer is American... and he is a genius... Dave Weckl.
Me too! :D I just finished the book yesterday , and now i'm taking time to listen all the quoted musicians.Years ago i also heard about Duke Ellington in the intro of the movie The science of sleep by Michel Gondry, but this is actually the first time i'm listening his stuff.
I never really listened to jazz and never really listened to Duke Ellington and then big mouth came along and I started to listen to him and I realized that I always heard his music and never realized it was him.
Duke ellington es la cuna de mi Nostalgia, sus composiciones me llegan al alma y me hacen recordar cosas que nunca viví en el pasado, me pone realmente melancólico
>>This sax "solo" is simply incredible. Harry is so smooth and phrases so sweetly that on at least 2 occasions I let out a noticeable sigh. The agility he has on this Bari is uncharacteristic of the instrument itself., he really shows us how it is done here. That 24bar long whole note shows that circular breathing isn't for digeridoo players only. So you see that this vid was so impressive that I took the time to comment on it. WOW !!! What virtuosity and control.
Thanks very much Ladies and Gentlmen for such a warm welcome. Your very Beautiful, very Sweet, very Gracious, very Generous, and all the kids in the band want you to know that we do love you madly!!! I love you Duke💖.

Omg! Is this the LONGEST note held in Music History!!!??? Many Props!! ♡ Even Duke was like, "Oh, Damn!" Amazing! Truly Beautiful! Just like my Mom. I Always said THIS SONG, "Sophisticated Lady" was written 4 my Mom. Truly Enduring Sophistication. The Greatest Generation...& I wasn't even a part of it!! Xxx♡♡♡ Live, Laugh, Love ETERNAL. ♡♡♡
Msflamingo2008 Circular breathing. Mark Pender of CONAN's Basic Cable Band does it on a weekly basis (as part of the show's warm-up). It takes a bit of practice.
I’ve always liked jazz, but I love that Big Mouth introduced me to Duke. He’s now one of my favorite musicians. Love all of his songs: “Take the A Train”, “In a Sentimental Mood”, “My Little Brown Book”(one of my favorites), “Haupe”, “Satin Doll”, “Mood Indigo” and many others!🙂
Honestly same, I love big mouth and I’m happy it brought Duke Ellington into my life. After the full episode around his life, yeah it was funny and there were a lot of jokes but I love how they went over his song for a sophisticated kind of girl, listening to it was lovely and I had to look into his music more 💚
Amen Hutzjohn. Duke Ellington remains my all-time favorite big band jazz arranger, composer, pianist, band leader! As you said it best, genius is the only apt word to describe the Duke!
Jlmusicfan57 dont you just wish you could go back in time and see the Duke live. I believe this and Mood Indigo are two of best jazz songs ever written.
That was Johnny Hodges. Duke's 1st Alto and soloist for around 30-40 years and one of many great sax players to ever live. But yea, I guess he should've payed attention 😒
What a fabulous ending with this circular breathing... wowh... where are these outstanding Jazz legends in our times ??? Seems we miss such personalities within the young and upcoming generation of musicians (maybe I am only in the mood of nostalgia ;-) and just missed to find the youngsters ). Tks for sharing...
Here I am again, listening to this wonderful piece as I tell others about it. This is such an artistic video of them playing that I wish I could frame it and hang it on my wall
40 plus years ago I had the privilege of living, (albeit a brief time) with one particular amazing person who represents in my mind the quintessential, "SOPHISTICATED LADY"...

HARRY CARNEY "Harry Howell Carney (born April 1, 1910 - died October 8, 1974) was a jazz saxophonist and clarinettist who spent over four decades as a member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra.

Found this in the strangest way. Thankfully, my friend decided to buy me a cannabis gift, and while searching the strain-- it was discovered that it's mixed with one strain called 'Sophisticated Lady'. The first search result was this masterpiece. Go with the flow-- you never know what's around the corner :)
Big Mouth brought me here, and I'm really glad it did
Hahah
Same lol
True music.
Same here
You're so sophisticated lady, lady!
After dark brought me here and thanks god 💘🎺

Ending on a ballad is brave! Are you or anyone in your band (unless you’re a solo act of course!) baritone players?
wonderful
Remembering my grandmother today today is her birthday & the Duke was her favorite performer & she was a sophisicated lady !
Hello Queen, How are you doing?
+ R.I.P.
Harry CARNEY had the most beautiful sound ever on a baritone , by far !!!!
no doubt, and it was the Duke's genius who even thought about voicing the baritone right out front of the horn section...i mean, who does that? but wow could harry coaxe some sweetness outa that bari
Possibly the best bari sax solo ever played. If you close your eyes, he sometimes sounds like an alto and then sometimes sounds like a tenor. From subtone to throat growl, with impeccable taste, he even throws in circular breathing at the end! WOW!
And the circularly breathed note sounds like a viola 🤯
he makes the baritone a legitimate solo instrument. something I don't think it was even designed for.
And often it sounds like a cello. I knew Harry Carney well; the kindest man that ever walked the earth. This shones through in his playing.
Without a doubt, the finest baritone sax solo ever recorded. I wish I could have witnessed the initial reaction of Gerry Mulligan, Pepper Adams, Ronnie Cuber & Steve Kupka after they heard this for the first time! It's a shame that the bari sax is such an underappreciated instrument for so long---When I bring mine on stage, people still ask me what the hell it is!
Yes, bari sax always be an underrated instruments by people who really don't appreciate music.
This was a revelation. And I’ve heard a ton of Ellington. What tone Carney had! Duke cared about two things. Swing and tone. You needed both to play in his band. Such elegant and timeless music. The Soul wrenching lyrics are always in mind as he okays.
Not too mention Hamiet Bluiett late of the World Saxophone Quartet (may he rest in peace with all the other great bari players).
Good old Duke is one of the best jazz Legends, when not the only legend in the whole jazz world😊
So good and soo nostalgic 🫠😊
Amazing circular breathing by baritone saxophonist Harry Carney.
A minute and 21 seconds! :)
wow how do you breathe circular
I was scared he would pass out.....
Carney’s amazing circular breathing starts about 2:21. Listen also for Duke’s beautifully understated piano obbligato.
Anybody else annoyed by it?
I like how the comments are divided by People who genuinely like his music and kids doing homework from big mouth xD
judging by this comment and your appearance you are a person whom also came from big mouth while also claiming you “knew” about him before.
by judging from these 2 comments i can tell you guys ate bitches and thou tis on no 🧢
Dallas Parker both
I've listened to Duke since about 5 years ago, and the amount of people from my generation discovering Duke due to Big Mouth makes me happy to be a musician, and a huge fan of him. To you Duke, The one that got me into Jazz.
I've found a genuine like in doing big mouth homework tho
3:20
Duke is like "Bro you done?"
Anakin Dey. More like : Bro. I'm done!
Anakin spotted
@@gagequinn4709 well hello
I had the honor of attending a Duke Ellington concert back in 1960 at the U of Chicago. It was an evening I'll never forget!
Big Mouth S3 bout to bring a whole lot of people here
Yep
And I'm here waiting for S4. 😂😂
I see you like the show "home movies"

Hello Pat, How are you doing?
the brothers face is in the background is killing.. me like will you hurrup with this damn song
That's Johnny Hodges, AKA The Rabbit
Happy birthday Harry Carney (April 1, 1910 - October 8, 1974). He joined the Duke Ellington orchestra in 1927. Amazing breath control!
I listen to this track about 20 times a month or so. I love this moment in time. I wish I could have experienced it in person. What a performance and what a group of wonderful talent. I can't get enough. In heaven I would love to meet all of these guys.
Whatever you're doing right now, stand up to attention to this version of Soph. Lady. MAJESTIC !!
The UK has never discarded her love for jazz. Here in America we need to take note because jazz is a treasure.
@@geraldjohnson4013... You put it as it should be put. One of my favourites is actually Canadian, LOL... genius Oscar Peterson but this drummer is American... and he is a genius... Dave Weckl.
Haha at 3:18 even the Duke was like "Snap, that's one beautiful long note!" Amazing playing by Harry Carney!!
I'm a drummer but since this performance by Mr. Carney I fell in love with the baritone saxophone. What an instrument
Haruki Murakami's After Dark brought me here.
Me too! :D I just finished the book yesterday , and now i'm taking time to listen all the quoted musicians.Years ago i also heard about Duke Ellington in the intro of the movie The science of sleep by Michel Gondry, but this is actually the first time i'm listening his stuff.

Me pasa exactamente igual. Qué bien lo has expresado!
Good sense of music brought me here
Amen
The Conversation brought me here
A vulgar Netflix cartoon show brought me here
It's 3am and the dulcet vibration of Harry Carney's playing is the lull I need. 💜
A baritone sax has never sounded lovelier. Duke is a genius!
I played bari sax in high school and college jazz band. Wow ... Harry Carney had the kind of sound I only dreamed of having.
This is beautiful beyond words.

Favoloso sax da brividi ...il duca e' sempre eccezionale
Ale ciepełko bije z tej muzyki .Myslę że nie mamy się czego wstydzić bo wykonanie tego utworu przez mało znanego muzyka jest również dobre

Never watched Big Mouth, just a 17 year old into jazz here
The Silent Musician try it😂
Nobody asked
Seth Tennison but nobody didn’t ask so...
Oh my god.. what a beautifull sound. This make me cry, on a good way.
The version is a master-piece in composition and performance, I love it to hear again and again, thanks for the share.
WOW - ausgezeichnet

My own song brought me here lol glad it did salute 🫡 To the legend Duke
Hell yeah that was Harry Carney :) masterpiece recordings. This is one the unfortunately few tunes that belongs to the mighty big horn!
MAGNIFIQUE !!!!! Harry carney !!!!!!
Amen Hutzjohn. Duke Ellington remains my all-time favorite big band jazz arranger, composer, pianist, band leader! As you said it best, genius is the only apt word to describe the Duke!
It’s crazy how big mouth bring us all here.. I DON’T REGRET A SINGLE SECOND!!!
Magico!!!!!
3:15 Duke is like "Really? He's still going?"
3:19 "Holy shit, what is this?"
Thanks Big Mouth you introduced me to this legend.
I looked up Duke after season 1of Big Mouth, but I'm here again becoz I love the guy thanks to Big Mouths attention on the jazz King.
Raise your hand if you’re doing your homework for Big Mouth 🙋🏼♀️
hell yea,
yessss
SAME. I fully intend on graduating big mouth high with a 6.9 GPA
Yup
Myeshia P. I just hope to make Professor Maury proud
The finest rendition of this Duke Ellington 'Classic' I've ever heard. Such a 'beautiful feeling and expertise' by Harry Carney on the Bari Sax!
Sometimes you just know when you hear good music... THIS RIGHT HERE is good music
Nick Kroll told me to come here before Oct 4th and I'm sure glad I did
Thank you so much! I love it. What a great sound! Never heard today...
Happy international jazz day errybody :) thanks for years of putting a smile on my face and a tear on my eye at the same time.
Bloody Beautiful!.... just gorgeous......
Hello Tana, How are you doing?
Honestly I've been listening to this for ever
Searched and arrived , great work, many thanks 🙏
After Dark, Murakami. Nice...
mi fa piacere che apprezzi il grande jazz!!!
A Documentary on Berdoff Goodman store brought me here
Love 💖 all their theem music
Jlmusicfan57 dont you just wish you could go back in time and see the Duke live. I believe this and Mood Indigo are two of best jazz songs ever written.
Duke Ellington the master. He lead a big band probably the greatest ever. This band contained many fine soloists. Duke composed with them in mind.
Grandioso Harry Carney,sin dudas el MEJOR.
the light and color is a beauty
Uma bela música para escutar na madrugada ♡
Thank you for this gift of music. I feel grateful to have been alive to hear such a magnificent sound
I just Fell in Love with Music All over again! Absolutely Sensational!
Absolutely fabulous. My music taste brought me here
WONDERFUL and amazing!!! How in the world can anyone but Harry -Caray do it?
lol at the sax player in the background who wasn't paying attention and was late for the last note at 3:33
That was Johnny Hodges. Duke's 1st Alto and soloist for around 30-40 years and one of many great sax players to ever live. But yea, I guess he should've payed attention 😒
They were also childhood friends and Harry was instrumental in getting Johnny into the band in 1928
That's Johnny Hodges. I'm sure he was enjoying the moment.
Lol that's me sometimes
It doesn't get any better than this! Good stuff!!!
Man how he makes that metal sing with soul!
Speechless.....this is it.
The very combination of classical thinking and modern style in Ellington's work completely let you travel through the cosmos...
hell i'm 15 years old and i'll mellow to this. no drugs, just your mind no outside influences.
If I've learned one thing about slow jazz.. a perfectly stated sax solo can really bring a song together!
Child of the '60's here, and major classic rock fan. The music I grew up on has NOTHING on The Duke's incredible performances!
What a fabulous ending with this circular breathing... wowh... where are these outstanding Jazz legends in our times ??? Seems we miss such personalities within the young and upcoming generation of musicians (maybe I am only in the mood of nostalgia ;-) and just missed to find the youngsters ). Tks for sharing...

The sweet sounds of duke ellington fill my house and my soul
WOW This is unbelievably fantastic!! I love this! Let's bring them back to life...to play for us. Again and again.
What a beautiful song! The melody is smooth 🎶🎶🎶
so much power and control in each breath! takes the dynamics to their full potential
Carney has an incredible sound - and that introduction by Duke is perfect!
love this....so beautiful..now, that's music !!!
Oh man, I'm so in love with this particular version of this amazing song.
As I close my eyes and listen to this , it feels like I’m having a drink in some dim lighted bar and the year is 1965.
Awesome! Simply awesome! Amazing version!
My love for jazz brought me here.
This is a Beautiful composition! I’ve been having it in repeat for the last past year and still going. I just love it!
Fantastic classic sound of Duke with H Carney on the baritone. Brilliant instrument
