Benefit Concert for the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock NY ~ 1981 1. Arrival (Marilyn Crispell, p; Howard Johnson, sax) 2. Left Jab (Ed Blackwell, d; Baikida Carroll, t; Julius Hemphill, sax; Marilyn Crispell, p) 3. We Are (Karl Berger, balaphon; Nana Vasconcelos, talking drum; Collin Walcott, tabla; Aiyb Dieng, talking drum; Ed Blackwell, d) 4.Broadway Blues (Jack DeJohnette, d; Pat Metheny, g; Miroslav Vitous, b; Dewey Redman, sax) 5.The Song is You (Anthony Braxton, vocal) 6.Impressions (Anthony Braxton, sax; Chick Corea, p; Jack DeJohnette, d; Miroslav Vitous, b) 7.Stella By Starlight (Chick Corea, p; Lee Konitz, sax) 8.All Blues (Jack DeJohnette, d; Pat Metheny, g; Miroslav Vitous, b; Chick Corea, p; Lee Konitz, sax; Anthony Braxton, sax) Broadway Blues is a song written by Ornette Coleman for his New York Is Now! album released in released in 1968 on Blue Note featuring John Coltrane's former bandmates, drummer Elvin Jones and bassist Jimmy Garrison, and by tenor sax player Dewey Redman.
Exceptional rhythm section in this concert, Jack DeJohnette (some of his best playing) and Miroslav Vitous. DeJohnette is the standout in this whole show, some of the best playing of his career here. Impressions has one of Braxton's best solos on Impressions, wild in places yet controlled. Metheny has an excellent solo on Broadway Blues as well as a great bowed solo by bassist Miroslav Vitous. Chick Corea has a unique and unexpected introduction to Stella by Starlight, duo with Lee Konitz. His playing a little too busy for Konitz but there is some very interesting and creative interplay. Konitz has an intimacy and soulfulness here. and Konitz changes to a much less warm nasally tone for All Blues. Dejohnette explosive on this and Corea very percussive. Vitous takes another one of his fine bowed solos.

anthony braxton's solo on impressions was fucking cosmic... sounds like he transcended to a higher plane at some points in that. truly a performance that honors coltrane's legacy
Pour moi une découverte, Anthony Braxton un putain de musicien devant l'éternel et évidemment tout les autres. Ce concert est admirable de musicalité, et de véritable improvisation, d'ailleurs ce qui me parle énormément c'est le fait d'avoir écouté il y a quelque jour l'émission de Charles Pépin sous le soleil de Platon ou l'invité n'était autre que Ibrahim Maalouf. Il expliquait que très peu de musicien de jazz improvisait et j'ai compris ce jour la qu'il avait raison. En écoutant ce concert je sais maintenant qui sont les vrai improvisateurs, ce concert est magnifique, je suis dans la redite mais!
Marylin Crispell anyone? Tons of commentaries and no one mentions the only woman on stage, namely who's definitely one of the most amazing piano players of the 20th. That's a shame
From 23:42 to 34:32 This has to be a one of those greatest few moments in the history of jazz, where the improvisation and interpretion approaches and gets near the spiritual level of John Coltranes musical dimentions, but while at the same time accomplishing to manifest its own personality and the soul onto, and within, the structural base level of the foundations of jazz music. And also arguably the best 10 minutes and 50 seconds I've almost ever in my life spent on concentrating on any kind of waveform-based art performance
I 100% agree. Braxton's compositions are good but i feel his style is shown at its peak in band situations like this. His playing is just so visceral and confident to an extent Ive never heard before. Also, the entire rest of the lineup playing with him including chick and dejohnette makes the experience even better.
I just stumbled on this. It was one of the best concerts i've been to, & that's saying a lot (I've been to 3662)! Was my 38th show (15th jazz) Was on a soccer field in the actual town of Woodstock, NY on 9/19/81. Poured for 4 hours after it was supposed to start @ noon. Ended at like midnight. Spent a couple of hours in a dugout after sitting under the soundboard for awhile until it got too wet. Stood a couple of feet from Chick Corea while he was interviewed. Even remember getting a burrito in town.
Wow! Didn't even recognize him at first! Blessed to have had a chance to see him multiple times. Had tickets for the show last year that was put on hold because of the covid. Hoping that I'm able to get to see him at least one more time.
This is Jack's best sound, IMO, along with the 602 setup with Miles. The Sound Creations were far more complex sounding. The Sonor Phonics always kill, as well. Jack stopped playing this 4-piece kind of setup almost a decade earlier, so it's fascinating to hear his 1981 conception on a standard kit.
What a line up, sublime & so raw!! Vitous is one of the very few bass players who knew how to bow the instrument & make it talk. Almost like a cellist in places.
! ! WOW ! ! Also take care in listening to the cadenza ( . . towards the end of the tune . . ) in Lee Konitz` playing: a seldom heard symbiosis between a musician and his instrument!
Cette vidéo est un délice pour abolir le déferlement des bruits et des images du quotidien et entrouvrir l'espace d’un ailleurs où contingences et représentations cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. La puissance expressive de l'architecture sonore rompt ici avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'extension d'un univers fabuleux dans lequel la couleur et le rythme des compositions constituent une expiration qui donne voix à l'exaltation 🤠
That's what happens when you create the right atmosphere for the musicians to express themselves in complete freedom : creativity, genius and fire !! I love Anthony Braxton's scat on "The song is you", smooth and boppish :). Thanks for posting such a treasure, Francesco.
Also for those of you who don't know Chick and Braxton with Dave Holland and Berry Altschal had a seminal energy liberation unit called " Circle" about 1970. Made at least one side.
OMG Absolute BLISS. Here's me dozing off watching youtube at 5am, switching to this wonderful upload and, voila, I'm enthralled and WIDE AWAKE! This gigs so RAW, ORGANIC and FANTASTIC: PRICELESS. Thanks so much uploader!!!!
That's who I thought it was. I loved the people in the audience being confused about the snare hits in the head of that first tune. It was beats 1 and 4 each time but the first measure is in 4/4 and the second measure in 5/4. I loved the snare sound. I think DeJohnette used the same kit?
The Guess the Song between Anthony Braxton and Lee Konitz with Chick Corea and Hal Galper looking on! Priceless. Historically interesting too. Lee liked to sing and he loved The Song Is You.
Staggering. PAT......at 20 fully formed...... the shape of things to come and Nana.just WOW......Montreal 82 changed my life simply......astonishing footage
Lee Konitz's performance on Stella by starlight and Braxton's solo on impression are the most interesting things in this video. so differently brilliant - obviously De Jonette's playing is brilliant throughout, too
What have I just witnessed 😮 Mr.Braxton's solo on Impressions is beyond space & time ✨
indeed! braxton developing on trane ... that nice and amazing
My lord, Miroslav Vitous is the bottom every band needs.

Yeah, her early M&A albums are intriguing and later ECM albums are great.
RIP Chick Corea
Ciao francesco che bella scelta. Senza parole non può respirare piu
de trés beau monde.un Miroslav virtuouse.un De johnette hors de lui,et un Armando trés discret.
KONITZ SEMPRE NAVEGOU COM MAESTRIA, PELA TANGENTE MELÓDICA, CRIANDO UM LIRISMO ABSTRATO QUE ENCANTA ... !!!!
Chick the Maestro! Rip to the greatest improvisor of this era. Pat Metheny is right up there too!
This show answers the question of how much inspiration fits in a single day.
From 23:42 to 34:32
This has to be a one of those greatest few moments in the history of jazz, where the improvisation and interpretion approaches and gets near the spiritual level of John Coltranes musical dimentions, but while at the same time accomplishing to manifest its own personality and the soul onto, and within, the structural base level of the foundations of jazz music.
And also arguably the best 10 minutes and 50 seconds I've almost ever in my life spent on concentrating on any kind of waveform-based art performance
Listening will report back chief
It is one of my favorite versions of “Impressions” too.

Jack DeJonette is incredible throughout...thanks for posting

Looks like Roy Haynes on the Drums? 10:35

Don't forget the great Marilyn Crispell on piano.

Well isn't that Nana Vasconcelos on the Berimbau? 10:50
Wouldn't forget him, either.
So nice! Thank you!
I was there. Thank you for sharing this! Brings back memories.

Jack is incredible throughout 1968 and forward :)
Mr Salvatore grazie tanti, this is a beautiful dream for many people around the world.
This is some of the best music I've ever heard!
What a line up, sublime & so raw!! Vitous is one of the very few bass players who knew how to bow the instrument & make it talk. Almost like a cellist in places.
Terje Rypdal / Miroslav Vitous / Jack DeJohnette's ECM album is my favourite! This is his signature sound!
crazy sounds and just the way i love it..thats jazz..best kind
Merci pour la video😊
The amount of inspiration on that day was unbelievable ! What an extraordinary concert ! This is gold history record. We're all lucky to witness it.
! ! WOW ! ! Also take care in listening to the cadenza ( . . towards the end of the tune . . ) in Lee Konitz` playing: a seldom heard symbiosis between a musician and his instrument!
Boah wow..always fascinated by this kind of music....
The recording quality is awesome.

Also for those of you who don't know Chick and Braxton with Dave Holland and Berry Altschal had a seminal energy liberation unit called " Circle" about 1970. Made at least one side.
Jazz album of the year, just great. Not for the uninitiated.
CIrcle was an incredible band. The LP ARC and the fantastic Live 2fer with Braxton.
@@WilliamBrownNYC Love Chick the most in this style!
Barry Altschul
Circle was incredible. Live in Paris double LP will blow you away. Really liked the trio LP A.R.C. as well.
Espectacular !!!! todos estos maestros y ahi están muy jovenes. Chick Corea, Metheny, Nana , de Johnette , Konitz, Howard Johnson !!!!

1981
THNX!! MUUUSIK!!!
So intense, this is wonderful, thank you!
That's the great New Orleans drummer, Mr. Edward Blackwell, in the colorful cap back there. Not too many videos of this influential drummer. Thanks!
That's who I thought it was. I loved the people in the audience being confused about the snare hits in the head of that first tune. It was beats 1 and 4 each time but the first measure is in 4/4 and the second measure in 5/4. I loved the snare sound. I think DeJohnette used the same kit?
I'm sure they were Jack's drums and Blackwell used them as the opening band.
WOW!!!!! Mr DeJohnette awesome!!!!
Wow amazing!!! this is out there ,,, how could i have missed this!!!! come on google
The Guess the Song between Anthony Braxton and Lee Konitz with Chick Corea and Hal Galper looking on! Priceless. Historically interesting too. Lee liked to sing and he loved The Song Is You.
Gracias por compartir esta maravilla!

stella, impressions, all blues...just another real book jam session...in interstellar space. Chick sounds so great, he is composing not just blowing.
Phenomenal lineup
So glad this got filmed . Methany is a legend . They all are .
