Now you listen to the popular music today and then listen to this and tell me who the real musician is. I think that you will find that pure awesomeness, such as this, will ALWAYS prevail. This was straight up and pure no synthesizing or auto tuning just jazz.
This man is unbelievable and one of my jazz heroes. I one day hope to achieve something around his standard. ^_^ but yes, his solos are the best, better than mine are of course. Woot for Fred!
Yeah, what IS the song he's playing to? Man, this guy could play to any jazz and blow the world apart with his trombone...aka, he's really good. The best I've seen.
You are jokin right? Fred is the man He set the standard on the Bone being in the forefront. Not sayin Ron is not good but don't ever put Fred down like he is a regular player. James Brown bands are just down right wild and grueling with dance steps not just standing there playin.
Fred Wesley is condsidered a legend in the jazz world.
Go Fred, Go. Bloody fantastic, you gotta love it when the big man struts his stuff...
I've seen him live, and met him, and the man is a musical genius!
To bring the element of FUNK to your solo like THAT!... You, sir, are the BADDEST man on this planet.
the funkyest trombone player ever .
This guy is totally awesome. Great to see in person. He can really make that thing talk.
You're right about....how can anyone dislike this guy!!
What a badass. That's some insanely hip trombone playing right there.
Fred Wesley is one of the hottest jazz, blues, and funk soloists out there. It is amazing that a high school was able to get him for its Jazz Fest!
The legend himself !! long live fred !!!
The all time funk master of the BONE !!
I ♥ trombone !!!!

I wonder what kind of bone he's got? looks a lot like my blessing artist. great horn. great man!
if thats true, you have to look up Ron Wilkins.
I admit, this guy is a really, really good trombone player, but Ron is just amazing.
@1kivadvm I play trumpet and I liked it.
How do we call this kind of jazz? It ain't swing right? (so it don't mean a thing)
i would kill to sound like him
Don't know the tune, but he's just playing over the changes of a C blues.
Who do those hands belong too?
would this song happen to be hullabaloo?
HAHA
at 2:09 you can totally see me clapping backstage.
3 people are sax players?
groove?
Can any one say soul?
soul baby, bone power!
your talking about THE Fred Wesley. Besides comparisons like that are dumb Its all about personal preference.
ahhh real soul,, better than a degree from Julliard any day.. lol
4 people are trumpet players
HAH! THREE DISLIKES?
THOSE PEOPLE MUST BE ON DRUGS
That's not the pentatonic scale. He's not playing some chinese song up there. That's straight up blues scale.
@tastycajun0381 It's hard to appreciate the "talent" of a pop musician when compared to a professional jazz musician. Especially Fred Wesley.
is he dead if not i want to meet him so he can teach me i already have a trombone so wth why not
