as a bassist i know bassists get no love, i am truly happy that at least two people posted comments about that bass intro, i started watchin' this video for jjj and have since started it over 7 times just to listen to that bass lick.

Probably he is using a sustainer

People often complain because small group jazz performances tend to follow the same format - head in, horn solos, piano solo, bass solo (maybe)4's with the drummer, head out. What makes the difference between one performance is not the form but the content. You don't hear folks comment after a Mozart symphony "Not that goddamned Sonata Form again!" This is combo jazz at its most thoughtful and energetic.

I actually do get pretty bored with sonata form😁. While I agree that this band is slammin, as someone who has been playing jazz professionally for over 20 years, I think the criticism about jazz players not changing it up enough as far as solo order and instrumentation during the course of a set is valid. Using a non typical solo order or having someone drop out for a few choruses is super easy to do, and really does freshen things up for the audience AND the band. Again, a great band like this is great whatever they do with solo orders, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to change things up once in a while

Renee Rosnes' piano work is simply stunning !!

This bass player just put in my mind that I have several years of practice to go. Man that's a break-away from most basslines, very creative and groovy

YESSS! We bassists need more love ! ! ! GO Rufus ! ! ! Have you hugged a bassist today ?

Damn, that bass line is funky as hell Mr. Reid.... What a band.

Gotta love that low c extension on the bass

Truly terrific work by a superior jazz aggregation.

That sick bass groove at the beginning dang it sweet

That bass intro… is disgustingly good. Oh my goodness. Gave me scrunch face immediately.

Jay Jay had the greatest sound on trombone ive ever heard and Im so sorry I never got to see him in person.

I was a yr behind Rene in HS she was world class then !! So glad she's were she belongs TOP SHELF

as a trombone player all i have to say is that you can tell jj johnson anywhere he has his on sound and style and to play as smoothly as he does takes a lot of work i have listened to many others and i do not think they stand out like he does

My tune of the day! Brilliant version ... Tenor Sax and Trombone is such a great combo

I think l love JJ Johnson. The Trombone did it. Lovely. RIP Mr. Johnson

JJ is my idol since childhood. In his youth, he played more interesting than recently.

Brad Bass: This song has and Is played all over this world!! Where do you get your info from? This is a very popular, catchy, great American jazz melody, a very 'uplifting' sound that attracts and catches the ear of all races and nationalities of people, from Japan, China to Germany, Europe, and as far away as Denmark, Sweden and Finland, for example. If you can't say anything 'good,' don't say anything at all. Your comment about Blue Bossa was untrue, non-factual, biased, which to me, smacked of 'jealousy.' Where's your "often overlooked song?" It looks like you don't even have one. Kenny Dorham's music is loved by many, worldwide. There's plenty of 'bad (jazz) music in this country that you can give negative, untrue reviews on. A knowledgeable, experienced, honest judge of Jazz music, you are not. Talk what you know.

+alphonsemouzon Alphonse, do you have an updated link for your album? This one's broken, and can't find a copy from archive.org, either. Amazon's got it for cheap, but if you've got your own site, better to get it there. What's Ralph up to now that the Tonight Show's moved back to NYC? He sort of disappeared from recordings for a while, but he was fantastic on his own records and JJ's stuff--you can tell it's him within a few notes. BTW, just heard you on the "That Thing You Do!" soundtrack.

I hear a heap of people saying one player is better than some other player and I cannot understand it. You wouldn't compare Picasso with Michelangelo or Monet with Van Gogh. Of course not. They all have their own style and palette of colours to display. Chicken isn't better than fish or lamb better than beef is it? Of course not. Different flavours is all the difference there is. I LOVE all the players just so long as they're on the Bone. I just choose who to listen to at any given time as the mood takes me.

+tunefultony johnson Hehe :) Here in Australia we'd call you a drongo mate! But I like your sense of humour. However, with a name like Currie I have heard all the jokes since I was first in school some 55 years ago. If anyone thinks another instrument is the King then the word on thaqt should be left Hector Berlioz who said : "In my opinion, the trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments, which I have named the 'epic' one. It possesses nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst. Directed by the will of the master, the trombones can chant like a choir of priests, threaten, utter gloomy sighs, a mournful lament, or a bright hymn of glory; they can break forth into awe-inspiring cries and awaken the dead or doom the living with their fearful voices." I can add nothing more to that.

+Patrick Currie --Well, Bruce, thanks for taking the time to reply to me.... --- Thanks also for complimenting me on my [sense of] humour, you must be some kind of 'nice guy'......if that's not too patronising... -- I had to look up the word 'drongo' -- it said it is a black forked-tail crow-looking pied babbler [bird] from the island of Madagascar, so once again you pay me a generous compliment..... I take it that you like all the stuff by J.J. Johnson [no relation, actually ] -- but have you considered the aural delights of the baritone saxophone, which I think could give the trombone a good run for its money.... The baritone saxophone can be used sometimes in jazz, but not so often as the other saxes, alto, soprano and tenor, but tenor man George Coleman included a baritone sax player in his [wonderful] George Coleman Octet, and if haven't listened to any of those tracks I would heartily recommend them.... Well, I'm off now for a refreshing wake-up can of Fosters... you know that it makes sense.... Hmmmm... "I am a drongo".... "I am a drongo".... hmmmmm....
