Love this! Dillard kids do a great job at a hotter tempo too (their trombone section had much better timing than the pros in the weird and wonderful chorus after the opening trumpet bit) but you can't put Wynton in the corner!
Hmm...this arrangement is simply too tough for any bands that are around. The level of musicianship bands were presenting in the Swing era is almost unheard of these days.
True, but maybe that’s because there aren’t any bands for them to play in. This of course is played much faster than the original Ellington version and these guys are technically at the very highest level.
On the other hand the Dillard Center version of this in the Essentially Ellington series is pretty impressive - and they have much more just FUN with this stuff.
@@jwmc41 I don't think the moderate difference in tempo changes these facts. The players in the 30s-40s were younger, stronger, more reactive, and yes, had more opportunity thn those today. Don't take it from me. Marsalis and his people would readily agree with this.
Marcus is just chillin when the rest of the trumpets are burning
...then blazes off that last solo, giving me chills...
Good to see snoop dog exploring other musical genres
He got tired o your mom’s off note screaming.

I can’t unsee it now-I hate u 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I find the reactions of some of the orchestra members interesting such as the head shaking in disbelief during Wynton's masterful solo.
Too me there reaction is damn I should listen to some more jazz
Honestly this just makes the Dillard Center version that much more impressive for a High School band to pull this off.
bravo . wonderful solos ms MARSALIS and M. Print up.
I can't stop listening this record. One of the best version of this piece.
OOOOOH, WEEEEEE!! That rhythm section was on the JOB:
"Now you must acquire a taste for...freeform jazz."
Ive played this and trust me the trumpet soli is nothing in comparison to the trombone soli after it haha
i felt that. we could never get the trombone soli at tempo lol
@@ShianAnChiou I think secret is closing your eyes and only trying to hear what your part is
To me, the trumpet part sounds like straight harmony without the tune breakdown sharing complexity (I forgot the name for that!)

I feel this music coming inside of me
another nugget! this orchestra impresses me beyond the speakable.
Great .Does justice to the original and then some.
The boss guts that trumpet while the others nod at his discourse.
Wynton is the only one getting a chance to brag here!
But he doesn’t play anything original
@@jwmc41what do you mean by that
mindblowing.....
Wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏
Anybody have the whole concert?

Cool!

What brass instruments are always louder than the strings that why they sit at the back of the bands

I wish I could hear this guy play with Oscar Peterson.
I thought it was Snoop Dog on drums for a second.
I think it’s Wyntons brother Jason
