Love that complete stop - rarely does a rhythm section do that. Usually there are hits on the chord changes or maybe a downbeat at the top of each chorus at the bare minimum. But the complete stop for multiple choruses is a thing of beauty.
I saw him live back in 1999 or 2000 in Dallas. Went back stage and spoke with him a bit, and played a few licks on his horn, he was absolutely the best, and as a high school freshman, left a lasting memory.
Hello: I have seen/watched many of your transcriptions. In the last 4 bars in the second stop-time chorus, you have. gliss to a Bb. That note is a G. This is superb transcription (as always). Thank you for continuing to produce these helpful learning and listening tools.
Carl had a couple of favorite tunes he liked to quote like Peter and the Wolf, but I think this might be an embellished version of "If I Only Had a Brain" from the Wizard of Oz. At least melodically he kind of outlines it.
It seems unlikely that the members of the rhythm-section all stopped simultaneously, spontaneously. It is more likely that the cessation was pre-arranged. They stopped at the beginning of what he probably said, ahead of time, would be his virtuoso-passage.

Yes, and he goes double-time and doesn't lose the tempo one bit!
Carl Fontana - one of the greats in trombone jazz players. There will never be another like him.
First time I heard him was on his Great Fontana album when I was at music college. Never heard anything like it because - a total epiphany!

Wow, what a great memory!

Well spotted! 👍🏻
I had the extreme pleasure of hearing Carl play a concert when he came to my university back in late 70’s. No one can match him.
I never got to see him live, sadly.
wow! finally the version with saturated colour!
Goddamn that's SO clean
Lovely phrasing throughout, swinging solo with such a tasteful use of harmony.
Ah so much space, nice real nice.
That was smooth….I mean SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH
Links to the PDFs on Wayopay are now fixed!
Tears.
His swing is off the chain!!
Such a legend!
Yeah, one of my all-time favorites!
Yessir!
WOW!!
holy shit giant steps
Prime Carl at his soulful best.
0:58 was quoting something - or at least it's really familiar - anyone remember better than I what that was?
I don't recognise it 🤷🏻♂️

It's a pretty natural voice leading from the I chord to the VI7 in a turnaround, but it's also basically the melody to Sonny Boy.
Am I the only one hearing the licks?
Whereabouts??
you arent the only one I heard it too
Did you ever study those licks? Then you'll always hear 'm :)
@@Misterslidedropper Did you mean 'The Lick' or Carl's licks?
I hear em
I was watching at 1.5x speed and I didn't even realize
He could still play it that fast if needed!
I reccommend rather to slow it down to half speed :-)

I agree - it was just a fun title really!
Those degenerate Swiss, defiling their harmon mutes with a stem. Shameful.
Too breathy.
Oh
You're the type of dude to tell Miles Davis to stand up straight
@@hoist8111 No, I am commenting on his playing, not his appearance.
