Dud and the lads swing their collective backsides off magnificently in this clip taken from the very first edition of "Not Only... But Also", originally broadcast 09/01/65.
My Great Uncle on the Bass there. Looking fantastic while jamming out that bass!
Your great uncle Pete was a jazz legend - one of my very favourite bass players. Loved his work with Ray Ellington as well.
Loved your uncle’s bass playing they were a fabulous trio.❤
in my humble opinion, some of the jazz standards that Dud recorded over a span of several years are the best renditions of any, especially this one.
what an ear!
Totally agree.
Mum did this with her tallyho jazzmen look up Lillian delaney just in time
He played by ear like my dad and they were mates my brother plays but nothing like dud was copying my dad
Absolutely!
His musical genius is so missed. Hollywood could not capture it effectively. We miss you, Dudley Moore. Jazz genius.
I'm stunned! I'm 59 years old. I knew Dudley Moore as a great British comedian and a popular actor. I had NO clue that he was such an incredible musician! I've got to discover this now. Thanks the the video!
We're you living in a cave
@@tomkeating5178 - What part of "I'm 59" did you not understand?? The Dudley Moore Trio album was 1969. I was four years old! (You must be one old fart! :)
He was also organ scholar at university in Oxford (Magdalen College I think), which means that as a student he had to play cathedral-standard church organ. I'm told that he and the then Director of Music at the college chapel, Bernard Rose, used to improvise jazz duets on the organ together when the chapel was closed!
@@peterwilton9047 Thanks for that, Peter! WOW! This kind of stuff is incredible. It's also a reminder that there's a larger story to most of the things and people we think know. Much appreciated, sir.
my moms the same age and she only knew too when i showed her this clip!
Just a little guy, but a towering giant of jazz piano. Hugely underrated, but the proof speaks for itself.
and, he kept on getting better. have you seen him at The Hollywood w/Ray Brown on bass in the 1980's ? Ray smiles throughout the entire gig
@@ignorecorporatenews Ray Brown was of course a towering legend, but give credit to the amazing Pete Mcgurk playing here with Dudley.
Brilliant tasteful player. Love his style using mainly pentatonic and blues scale.
Aren't we fortunate to have these performances preserved. No praise is high enough for DM. No degree of thanks adequate.
Great things come in small packages. I've always thought Dudley was rather like Mozart (who was also physically small) in that he was effortlessly brilliant musically, no snob, a natural, also an entertainer, a giver, and a reveller in humour, especially what is called smutty... a genius, able to do what no other could do. And much missed.
Your comment sums up this brilliant man ......I miss his jazz playing so much
Non pretentious genious.
I don't think Mozart was ever smutty, which also means dirty, sooty, filthy, smoky..... Moore did himself no favours getting involved in the 'Derek and Clive' sessions in New York......
Absolutely right---a darling man!
@@tunefultonyjohnson4100 Mozart literally wrote a song where one of the lyrics were “lick me in the a**” in German. Look it up
Such a phenomenally talented human being... RIP Dud
As a young 14 year old drummer, I remember being knocked out with this great trio back in 1965. Dudley was only really at ease when he was playing the piano. Chris Karan was the "coolest" guy on drums in those days and I simply love Pete McGurks playing.... my kind of bass player! My warmest greetings to "UnofficialPixMan" by the way. My love for this kind of music never diminished and after a 40+ year musical career, I am happily playing with the great Marian Petrescu,s fine trio.
I love Dudley Moore, he was an incredible artist and entertainer. Ironically the best bit of advice I was ever told as a pianist by a very old and wise musician was that "Less is Moore". Pun intended. 😎
What a talented man.... These times they are a missing...
Such an underrated musician.
He was highly rated by all musicians he worked with, including those in church circles who tipped him for a successful career as a Cathedral organist - playing one of those monsters with a club foot and one of his mother's shoes strapped back to front on it! Happily he chose not to go down that route.
He played this to the max. They are cookin' so hard! Lovely trio and so creative in the improv. I loved Dudley Moore. Great pianist/actor/comedian/talent.
Moore was a man of many talents, wasn't he
He is great! He is on par with Oscar Peterson and with all the best pianists. It is a tragedy that he didn't live longer. His style is unique, cannot be imitated. Simple yet sophisticated. I can hear every note and every note makes sense.
OP was my first thought as well, his licks and the way that he articulates them, your comment is six years old but I appreciate your observation all the same
On par with OP.??..that is like saying Dudley's drummer is on par with Buddy Rich
That’s a stretch and I believe Dudley would concur.
Reminds me of Erroll Garner.
@@noreenjackson5382That is who he said he spent his whole career trying to emulate on the piano.
Peter mcgurk is phenomenal on this track you can see Dudley listening to him and they play as an incredible unit with the drummer gorgeous andy(bob)yates
Dudley Moore is my idol! Such tasteful and sensitive playing yet it swings like crazy. I just wish I could play like him. They were the perfect trio.
Incredible musician, incredible man. Wish there were hundreds of jazz recordings to listen to. What a tight sounding trio.
the dear man had talent leaking out his ears!! wish I could have met him.
The bass player Wow! great sound and ideas,groove,forward motion.Outstanding.
Agreed. Pete McGurk, a true jazz man who gave more than tempo, even in 4-8 time
He was definitely in the zone...........what a talent! Pity he left us too soon.
One of worlds unrecognised multi-talents..thank you Dudley
So much more than just an actor! Multi talented😮
shades of Peterson and Garner...two great pianists in their own right! sadly missed , a GREAT musician!! RIP Mr Moore!
Gerry
Oh such wonderful times to remember!
We will never hear his like again. He enables us to enter his extraordinary mind.
miss you Dudley Moore,so amazing ...I grew up in an Era when Music not tv was the thing to do in the family,..sadly that era has gone and only around for some...
Yeah moonlight
Same here.
So privileged to see the big bands like Ellington Basie etc. So many pubs had a jazz trio or quartet as well. Great memories.
Now 79 and living in the Philippines. Still got some CD's though. Take care.
Dud is really tearing it up here, one of the worlds best jazz pianists for sure. God Bless Dud
Very very sad, a great loss to his famuily and to the world of music, I was in the middle of doing my O levels at the time and had a paper round. I remember vividly on the day of my Maths exam, having to deliver the local Worthing paper with the story all over the front page. He is still very much missed by all of his family, bless him. He can be heard on many 60's classics playing as a session musician.
I love this! In America I just knew him as that funny guy in the movies '10' and 'Arthur' and I really liked him, but those movies pale in comparison to the amazing musical talent he had! I can't believe it took me so long to find out what a great musician he was.
What a lovely fella, top man Dud x
Now this is what's called by the young folk "throwin it down", fantastic !
I too am becoming addicted to this clip, it's so fresh and exciting. What is amazing about the break to remove the fallen manuscript is that he instinctively repeats the riff he has just played to make it sound deliberate, talk about thinking (or playing on your feet), if you close your eyes and listen you would not hear any difference, it just flows beautifully.
Indeed a multi talented guy was Dud, and I agree with the comments on Chris Karen and Peter McGurk a great bass player. Its a great pity that today's younger people do not get the chance to engage with this kind of musical talent because it will never appear on the "playlists" of most radio stations I Once had thee privilege of being in the Royal Albert Hall for an Eevening of Dudley Moore, it was phenomenal hearing this trio live and really swinging
The UK's most brilliant pianist, an equal amongst the best swinging, and coolest out there.. I was mortified, at his early death, His contribution to Jazz/classical music, and of course comedy was unsurpassed ....Harvey Perkoff
That piano trill at 1:04 with the descending bass!
Dudley Moore was a friend we met through our love of Erroll garner I sent him baroque French music Simon le duc a toon duverign which he loved he was taken from us too soon by that cruel nmd afliction
Quality,- picked up a couple of his albums a while back. Was very impressed. Such a talent.
Absolutely Fab. I had forgotten about Dudley and how truly multi-talented he was.
Gotta love the Dudster. What a talent.
Dud was a genius is many ways. Miss him :(
Simply magical, swings like a barn gate !
Absolute genius on the keyboard
who couldn't love him
It is the best version i 've ever heard! I must say i'm amazed.
I will never forget Dudley Moore's theme from the movie Bridge Over the River Kwai which was on the album produced when he was a member of Beyond the Fringe -- a precursor, perhaps the inspiration for Monty Python's Flying Circus. I WOULD LOVE to hear that Bridge performance again!
search for dudley bogey beethoven?
Eric Idle says that Dudley and Cooke were THEE inspirations for Monty Python
Truly wonderful. So good to hear each of the trio equally clearly. Superb piano, but also bass and drums beautifully played. Love the final few bars.
He said his all time favourite jazz pianist, and the man he most wanted to play like was Erroll Garner.
Fantastic! Love his style of playing jazz piano.
Stunning musicians, great entertainment...
Thanks for posting, it really takes me back to what was, frankly, a much better time.
WOW--- amazing talent!!
There are lots of actors who are musicians......and then there was **this** guy.
@flyingsourcers Dudley Moore gone but very much not forgotten not only a musical genius but great comedy timing too. Thanks to those who posted especially his music
He's smoking at 2:39
Fabulous work, Dudley!
Wow! Intensity of swing is astonishing! And also look at the bassist laboring this gigantic load of rhythmic contradiction between half-time feel and regular quarter-beat! -It is almost visually painful.
Nobody can swing like that nowdays...
One of the best ever
The greatest jazz pianist of the 20th C, including Oscar P and the rest.
Wonderful! ☝️😎
Very much in the style of Alan Haven. Pure magic Dud
just awesome ................:)
amazing talent.x
Chris Karan ..........my favourite Jazz drummer.
SIMPLY... F - A - N - T - A - S - T - I - C!!!
Gigantic talent, small package! ❤
GREAT!!!!!!
As ever at his best 👍🏻
Extraordinary musicians
i have and still have an audio cassette of dudly trio live on one side and studio on the other side song for suzy, the look of love,etc,etc.
Dudley Moore❤
Amazing!
Oh, Dont you go away, I have just found this......Class..........Dud I love you.
Fantastic
@lorrinbraddick Dudley's comedy was an acquired taste. I think he was as briliant a comedian as he was a briliant pianist. He was very successful at both. Every time I watch 'Arthur' he cracks me up! He is truely missed!
Christ on a bike! That was just FANTASTIC.
Yeah!
Great stuff! Just caught this scene on the "Not Only...But Also..." DVD, but I just had to hear it again.
love love love this stuff
Many classically trained musicians would "have a go" at jazz, but could never quite swing.
Dudley Moore could swing.
Grandissimo.
Amazing.
Grande uomo!
Wow, awesome!!!!!
Dud was a musical genius the likes of which we shall not see again but let's not forget Chris Karan and Pete McGurk! They are/were extraordinary players in their own right that made Dud shine at the piano. I only wish I could have seen Pete McGurk live. WOW!!!, what a bass player. It's a pity that there is so little information about Pete McGurk on the web. I understand that he died in a car accident(?) If anyone has any info on him, please post it here.
You'll probably appreciate this page I bumped into, although, the notation about McGurk will make you sad. It did me. www.sandybrownjazz.co.uk/JazzRemembered/DudleyMoore.html
Please see my comments above - thank you for your appreciation
Magical
Certainly one of the best and underrated possibly due to his other career. However don't think quite on a par with Oscar Peterson, as someone said. Dudley would probably have agreed.
Dudley had in tears and rolling on the floor with his comedy, but before that and afterwards, the cut lose improvised jazz solos. Glad I have couple of his non-jazz rock, pure jazz LPs. one such CD. Also a cassette tape of a recording he did on NPR locked away in a safety box (not in my usual bank) to be opened when I got too fed up; or on my death where Dudley & I humiliate the Globalists for the parasites on people THAT WORK: It's called "The Exposure of Criminals in the U.S. and U.K. Govs'.
Beautiful, thanks for posting this
They just did a remake of Dud's movie "ARTHUR" and I can tell you, Russel Brand is NO Dudley Moore! I miss the genius of this guy.
wow you're so great. need to watch more of your videos.
swings hard..honest and humble
Bravissimo!!!!!!!
A privilege
Played it for mum and dad taught him 😂 Lilian Delaney just in time... recorded at Abbey rd

Goed job, i like it
Sadly my uncle Peter (McGurk) committed suicide in June 1968 after a break up with a Danish woman. He came home to find notes all around his flat saying 'I don't love you'. It proved too much for him and he overdosed. He called my other uncle, his brother, as he died.
Oh my goodness so very sorry PixMan
swing ing!
Grande uomo.
