Cootie's early pieces on this, from the 30's and 40's, proved oh so poignant, dramatic, stylistic -- the type of horn playing and the notes he chose that could and would never be conceived-of in any a music academy or institute, to which, after hearing it you could only say, "Damn -- O man what is coming out of that horn -- you hear speech, phrasing -- the human experience!" Thus one hears, feels, and knows this person's life. Is as were portraying a character in a 1930's play; urbane, inauspicious, rich with imagery. One can see and hear and feel vicariously who and what be the character that Cootie dares convey. You can see him, -- hear his strife and heartache, his whole take on life and what he's made of it ... Hence, Tutti for Cootie.

My first time hearing Cootie Williams - how does he get those notes to sound like complete passages? What in the world? Blown away!

I swear YT is the closest thing we will probably ever come to having a time machine. Anyone watching this today is almost there in that church in 1969 when these legends lived and played. And this video is a hidden gem...only 40k views and almost 10 yrs old. Thank you for sharing!

No matter how many times I hear this I consider this to be the most transfiguring trumpet playing I have ever heard. Amazing - Cootie along with Lips Page influenced my sound most.

Cootie was overlooked as a musician in my opinion, best plunger player to have graced the planet.

legend has it that if you listen close enough you can hear what he is expressing through the trumpet.

The Duke composed tunes for his many soloists to exhibit their talents. 'Tutti for Cootie' with the plunger. In other bands Cootie might just have made up the numbers.

Wonderful Our high school doing this tonight which drove me to hear this recording. Where was this recorded? Looks like a Catholic Church to me.
