Jul 26, 2008 - You could make a case for Freddie being the best all-around modern jazz trumpet player. Woody is still my all time favorite. I just can't get enough of the fourths, fifths, suspended arpeggios, and pentatonic superimposition lines. If there are any other trumpet players using that vocabulary as well as Woody, I haven't heard them yet.

seanluvsjazz Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - yes!! both of these men were and still are part of the small percentage of trumpet players that help define the instrument. having said that, it is still to "rate" one over another.

aaronim Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - How about just appreciating both in their own right as opposed to trying to put one above the other. Let's just be thankful that such talented trumpeters were put on this planet!

Jul 26, 2008 - Actually this is a traditional Japanese song.Anyway it is amazing how great musicians can "jazz" on such a simple melodic theme.

zajj79 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Two real greats. Nuff said.

Jul 26, 2008 - Fine playing and melodic lines by Woody. I have to go to another vid to comment on the redoubtable Fredie. One thing that strikes me from a small view is Woody's embochure. I thought at first he had a bent-down mouthpiece, but it looks like a standard V. Bach type, straight. Lots of guys get incredible sounds and power playing with that "pressure" system and horn swinging upward, and with the telltale ring around the lips from the pressure. jim

Jul 26, 2008 - Hi Modes9 and iesemus33Listen my friends Woody is inside not outside Its like G minor to C7th to F sharp major

jesemus33 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - but he make a little out - in side.

tribukaribe Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - What an awesome vid......but i think my man freddie takes the cake in this instance.......woody is from my home town and he will always be missed.

raittis Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I hate word underrated, but Woody Shaw really is it. He was overshadowed by Freddie Hubbard his whole career. Just like Bob Berg who is pretty unknown because of Michael Brecker.

raittis Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - btw, is that sax player kenny garrett?

DancingSpiderman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - God, I LOVE Woody Shaw's style of playing.

mrbird00 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - woody shaw is not underrated at least in japan.

elbakara Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - You can literally see that Woody uses his third eye a great deal. I guess you have to play like that. Jazz is the greatest art form in the world!!!!!!!!

mambojazz1 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I disagree with that. Brecker was big but other guys popped up during that same time that were more well known than Bob Berg. It's life some people are popular and others aren't
