I don't know if this will be answered. I would love an explanation of one up front and two up front. Thank you. Very informative video for me.
Blessed with great pipes!
Masterful singer!
Excellent bass playing.😊
Great Singer!
I've such respect for this man. I took just a few classes w Marion back in the 1980's and he instilled in me such confidence to be a vocalist, a vocal performer. What a gift he gave me. Thank you, Marion Thinking of you warms my heart.
So awesome Jazz singer from Kansas City I did a jazz set this past weekend dealing only with the classics and had no rehearsal but was able to apply some of this very knowledge thankyou i will post a snippet of that show for you to see.
Bravooooo Marion!!!!! This is great!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds almost like Eugene McDaniels.
Woohoo!!! Awesome!!! Bravooooo!!!!❤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
A true great of jazz. My fellow classmate from Herman Ridder JHS in the Bronx. You are still great!
Wow wow wow this is awesome!
Omg this is great! I love your style and your vocals!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
✋👍👍👍

Thank you, Mr. Cowings for sharing these great & critical combo techniques. Mastery. What an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your artistry & techniques.
Magnificent.
How is it I've been listening to jazz music devoutly for over 40 years and i never heard of this wonderful singer until just now ???? He's also an excellent instructor.
what about if you are a great singer , phenomenal ear, and can’t read or understand music ? i only feel music can’t understand
his daughter is a famous singer
Yes, Emily King.
great singer . me too just now discovered him
I saw Emily King's IG post today and thought, "I bet she look just like her daddy." So I look up who her dad is and discover Marion who I'd never heard of until right now...and like, as a jazz fan, how have I never heard of this guy?
Thank you for the video. Question How does that ". . . I'll give you. . ." direction work? Keep up the good work!
What do you mean by "two up front"?
2 bar count off
Take a look at the drummer’s face. Think. Be like that drummer.
Mr. Cowings sung his vocal solo in his own lyrics which delivers an atmosphere of the street in the Swing Era. What a storytelling skill he has ! PLS check his 'Freddie Freeloader' too. Such a fun !
Love this
I didn’t know that jazz conductor doesn’t always use a baton or something.
There got to be fusion bands that one of the members be the vocalist.
Vulnerable...
I love it that the bass player didn’t stop the band for being sexist when singer used the term “chick”.
I'm 54 years old and just now discovering Marion Cowings. im trying to catch up for those 54 years by binge watching this guy
This has been up for two years and I missed it? Marion Cowings is a national treasure! Spread the word.
Need those lyrics!
Marion Cowings ‘Freddie Freeloader’ Vocalese Lyrics One free Freddie Tell me Truly Just what horn do you play? Once I Asked him Why so Happy? He said it’s cos music loves me. When trouble surrounds you, and bounds you You feel like flying, but you’re crying You needn’t pay the whole day, Never mind the reason This isn’t the moanin’ groanin’ season. Of course it takes some time to learn the way of smiling everyday to win Ain’t so hard is what you should know. You opened you heart and then say Now which way Is it conceivable to nourish a frown for sorrowful days And harbour a grin at the same time Never considered there are some beautiful ways to win Working with your fingers and your toes then never count ‘em. The feelin’ you get will never free ya Bet a buck, and win the lotto perhaps I meanin’ to say we’re like a robin hoods children, Because the songs we’re singing they, they never end. We’re like a tide movin’ to and fro, Bound to reach an all historical autumn low That’s part of our nature. However, it’s no indication to rest Because the blues are becoming pest and it’s something, we’re meaning to lose. I took my problem down to Philly, And then to Fred Here’s what Freddie has said Get down and never let up Here’s a clue I hope you won’t mistake it. I got my limp from trying to trample the blues without my shoes, But now I’m smiling Even the meanest cat won’t hurt your feelings if you’d only maintain your singin’ That’s all I’m saying dig. Thankyou Fred. You cleared up my head Now I can walk with kings And keep the common touch too I was so afraid I didn’t know what to do Thank you a lot. Thank you Freddie, For telling me the truth in bop talk Things with meaning mean more If they’re felt instead of being read. You know that life can be a pain, if when you’re young you miss your train It’s just a simple thing Unblessed feet can make no scenes But if they’re guided They will walk in freedom A guy like me who’s singin’ every song knows he’s never singing wrong The trouble with me is cos I’m in love dig it I’m tired of bein’ told I’m flippant Cos from the very day I found my key I felt the world upon me Freddie what it can do to ya It made me cry some Though I should fly Because the world and all its woe has got me down letting me know that it’s a loan (alone?) I must live my life Here’s a silly question Can I be lonely? When every song I sing is to my one and only I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout. Until I’m too old to get about And then they’ll sing of me. Piano solo x2 chorus by Kenny Barron One free Freddie Tell me Truly Just what horn do you play Once I Asked him Why so Happy He said it’s cos music loves me
3:10 - Any girl's facial expression when they see my dick
18 years and im glad to know this magnificent singer
0:50 I have a lot of respect for Marion Cowings, but this is not how it's done. He says the song and key all at the same time without really waiting for confirmation from the other musicians. Confirm the song, then the key. Repeat until people agree.
He did that in another Jazz Academy video on leading a band.
Thank You Damin.
Always my favorite, Marion singing on this beautiful Howard Johnson arrangement.
I want to play this on the piano where can i find the sheet music
Love this
thanks samuel l jackson
I hope you upload some vocal exercise videos - you are great Marion! Bless!
There is nothing at all that has anything to do with leading a band in this segment!...SINGERS, should know there keys, and musicians should know it...regardless (Fake book or not.....transpose if need be)….Band leaders and sidemen need to know this is not the real deal...…..kind of lame!
You are an incredible musician and wonderful person to have this up on the UA-cam. I came across your name from the smalls jazz club My nephew mike migliore was playing there today with a jazz band, and sent us a link to watch it ,and I saw your name .You are doing a great service to help singers and music in general. I can tell you have a wealth of experience thank you for sharing this and letting people know. Keep up the great work. ROBERT
Can't tell you HOW MUCH I love this!!!! I've been doing it forever, but i had a REALLY hard time describing what we were aiming for!
I looooooove this. So cool. Thank you for sharing.
The drummer might be the happiest man I've ever seen.
I enjoyed the heck out of this. My only question is how did the band know to play the "Ornithology" head. Do both tunes share the same set of chord changes?
That is exactly right: Charlie Parker wrote most of his melodies over the chord changes to some of the favorite tunes of the era.
@@hotice8885 Many years ago I took a couple of lessons with a guy who said that one of those Yardbird melodies was written over the changes to "There Will Never Be Another You". That was over thirty years ago and I still haven't figured out which tune he was talking about. Do you, by any chance, know which Charlie Parker recording is based on the chord progression of "Another You"?
@@PhilipQuintas --Wow. Never heard that Parker used that progression. Sorry I cannot help!
