Howard McGhee is so original.
JJ was absolutely unbelievable... Some people seem to forget that JJ pioneered the use of trombone in the post-swing jazz styles...
People also forget he made some great sound tracks in the 70s
It’s not about forgetting. The problem I’d lack of jazz education, and lack of jazz programs in middle school and up. The amount of money in high school sports is the rule. Especially here in Texas. They’re building huge stadiums in high schools. Music education needs some love.
Let us treasure this period in history,when all these greats were not merely alive,but still playing with great vitality and wisdom.And--whatever your feelings about the digital era--we should treasure TH-cam and it's many uploaders for these incredible musical moments.
Just posted by me on Facebook: "I'm jumpin' at the desk and drumming and tears stream down my cheeks as I get nostalgic about the days when this was the music that thrilled me... '
Today, I go to hear live Jazz whenever I can but the small audiences all look like me. How come this doesn't move the young? Nothing tame here!"
Robert von bargen Yes it does move the young, the soul is still there and jazz is being appreciated but the material being made isn't an exact replica of bebop. We're here we just aren't the majority.
Absolutely 🐬
You Tube is a treasure.
The way jazz IS treated in this world, it would be nice if SOME people "got" it. Nothing like going to a jazz club and seeing more people on stage than in the audience, it breaks my heart most days!
Come to Washington, DC. There is some great jazz here and an audience for it.
come to Dayton Ohio's ,Jazz Central

I love how JJ quotes the bassoon solo from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring at the beginning of his chorus.
Parallel inventiveness
Missed that first time, had to go back around.
I love how you pointed that out👍
Its pretty standard jazz lick popularized by Bird.
@@mambojazz1rite of spring was in 1913
Mr McGhee -such a soulful bebopper - there's a real warmth and wit to his playing . If it were up to me, he'd be a lot more famous , but then , what's fame ?
Sonny Stit...how many ideas can you have on a 12-bar blues ? unbelievable..!!!
On the Seventh Day, God kicked back and listened to jazz; not a choir of angels, but a small ensemble of cats.
Zeit Geist God absolutely LOVES jazz.
He ALWAYS shows up when it gets real with it.
One of my favorite activities?
Meditate while listening to jazz, LIVE jazz especially!!!
JJ Johnson is mercilessly amazing, command of rhythm...
I came here for JJ
@@FidelHimself absolutely my favorite trombonist. He is the GOAT in my opinion.
Great solos all,but J.J...whew!
Man, I used to think that Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley were the two greatest Alto Saxophonists that ever lived.
Watching these videos of Sonny Stitt is making me think there were 3 on that list.
What blows me away is the sheer effortlessness of his sound, he's looking like he's in a trance and then these AMAZING and beautiful lines are just flowing out of him like water at a waterfall.
I'm IMPRESSED to say the least.
Gonna have to study up on some Sonny Stitt. I slept on him for too long. Definitely one of the GREATS!!!
Martin Franco l hear ya. I'm so die hard Bird and love Sonny yet even more tonite.
Check Out Lou Donaldson and, Pepper Adams .
Barry Harris, who was a great friend to Stitt and his family, once said in class that on uptempo music it could be hard to tell Bird and Stitt apart. Yeah, Stitt was that good. But Barry continued by saying you could hear the difference on slower material. I'll stop there.
On thing about Stitt, he had an ENDLESS supply of ideas flowing from his horn.
OMG. Sonny Stitt just kills it!
Stitts wink at the very beginning 0:00. Gold.
Smarted minds reunion "!! Geniales.
Stitt guys will be catching the “conversation” stitt is having with McGhee during his solo about the value of silence during somebody else’s solo, even tossing jj the “is he kidding” look lol. Goat.
It is wonderful hearing Howard McGee again one of my favourites on Jazz at the Philharmonic, all players are giants that's for sure
Clicked on this for Howard McGhee without realizing I was going to also hear JJ Johnson and Sonny Stitt, what a pleasant surprise.
Howard M hits the ground runing ! totally fresh and inventive from the top ...and altogether WHAT A BAND
Sonny's delivery and execution sounds so effortless!
Walter Bishop Jr. was a very cool guy. I met him via Barry Harris, whose Jazz Workshop I was studying in. I visited Bish in his apartment on the West Side of Manhattan. He lived in a large building reserved for working artists, actors, musicians, etc. There were, I recall, several sheet music covers framed on the wall. They were copies of songs for which Walter Bishop Sr. had written the lyrics. Bish explained that although they were marketed as instrumentals, having lyrics helped protect the material from copyright infringement. Since his dad had been in the music biz Bish got off to a good start.
I had the honor to meet Walter Bishop in Barry Harris' Jazz Workshop and I even visited him in his apartment in Manhattan, just to chat. A warm and welcoming gent. Helluva bop player.
I had the honor to study with Walter Bishop Jr.privately. Also been to Barry Haŕris workshop.
a rare opportunity to hear a long solo by mcGhee
The great Howard McGhee! I was so fortunate as to have met and played with this master! Nobody can take that away from the young instrumentalists that played under the direction of the late Paul Jeffery, in the 53rd street jazz ensemble.
Eternally grateful to all who take the time and trouble to upload these beautiful jazz videos. Thanks to them Jazz will never die and, hopefully, encourage the younger generation to listen and appreciate this beautiful music.
Great!!!
A simple blues theme but everyone shows us how to give it a five-star treatment.
Not That simple. It's not a V-IV-I turnaround. Rather VI7-ii7-I. A little hipper.
thats pretty simple
A long time ago I saw JJ Johnson and Kai Winding at Sydney Stadium [ Australia ] loved their music and beautiful bright blue suits,,cooler than cool , I have never forgotten them but the rest of the group I have.
RIP JJ thank you for the joy of some 65 years ago.
Its when you try to play like them you know then they are truly masters ,how ever well you may play .these days many stay away from this old school quite honestly not many can do a blues and get close to these guys so they move on to whatever sounds good for them but it sure aint this ,the music of the masters..kudos to those that try
Jazz makes me feel amazing 💜 its a whole vibe. I just wish others appreciated it as much it was appreciated many years ago.
I agree Jazz has away of helping you move on whatever your troubles are. Some Rock music helps you to sit in sadness or wonder. Jazz helps you go come on who cares. Let's move on. I agree Jazz does make you feel amazing and this is Bebop.
This is not Jazz, in Bebop
Sonny Stitt & Lover Man can play forever as far as I am concerned.
My all-time favorite.
great to hear these legends when they were so young!!!
These cats had already been around for 20 plus years by this time!
It seems many jazzmen are conspicuous in losing much "sparkle" over the years. Sad.
Did you hear that ascending passage that Stitt played at 4:38? OMG! Sonny is the BEST, my favorite tenor player and one of my three favorite alto players, too (along with Parker and Donaldson).
Straight ahead blues - and with great feel too. Excellent blues especially from Sonny Stitt. Weird to think that the golden age of bebop was in the late'40s.......and this music was supposed to be old fashioned in 1964 !
Only another trombonist realizes how immensely difficult mastery of the trombone is. Johnson towers above the others in this vid when heard by another trombonist.
großes kino! so was kriegst du heute nicht mehr zu sehen.... absoulute könner am zenit ihres schaffens!
@6:26 JJ plays the intro to Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring". Totally bad ass musician he was....
Also Peter and the Wolf at the top of the next chorus
Jeff Thomas ,yes that's witty ain't it - two great 20th century Russian composers quoted in one solo -unique ?
Good ears to catch that snippet! Love him on Stan Getz and JJ at the Opera House, an LP l bought in my school days in about 1963 at the great sum of £2 ( about £40 today!)
@@edepillim His time with Getz was top notch like this vid.
Sonny is transcending as he plays🙏🏽 ....perfect melodies by such legends all,of them !!
I have heard JJ in person and on record literally hundreds of times, but never with as much facility as in this video(including his appearances with Stan Getz). He was evidently at the top of his game here imo.
Watrous said JJ killed at live performances but toned it down on records. Bird was the same
Hell yes! I love watching the greats tear it up like this.
Thanks for the post!!
Howard McGee....wow. Sonny Stitt...oh my God! Two giants of great music!
It is so GREAT to see/hear These Cats to sing/swing/dance MUSIC!
I love the nonchalance of all six, as if what they were doing was the easiest thing in the world!
Legends .Memories of former Chicago jazz listening with the great Daddy Daily who played this music selection , great times . Thanks .
The hippest and hardest most soulfully swinging rhythm section of all time. Much love to my mentor teacher and big brother Bish Bash, "Walter Bishop Jr." RIP.
listening everyone of them is like heaven!!!!
Fantastic, this Clip captures the real spirit of Bebop! What a line up, greats at their best time in their best form! Most astonishing is the sheer effortless of these greats. They're flying through the simple blues, and have a look for the respect they are showing for each other. The cymbal beat of Kenny "Klook" Clarke is so infectious, incomparable, there was no drummer all around, who could do that, so simple and so swingin' as hell...
So MUCH 🎵🎨🎶🎹🎷🖌️🎺 Musical Color 👁️ Coming from these Black and White Gems 👈🏾
It never hurts to listen to the ancestors. There always something to learn.
1st time JJ ever thrilled me. I got's some learning to do
JJ always thrills me and lets me know how much practice must be done!
Never heard enough of the great Howard McGhee and J.J. Looks and sounds as slick as ever…and Stitt is cookin!! And of course Kenny Clarke who advanced modern drumming. Walter Bishop and Tommy Potter!!
Sonny is BRILLIANT here.
JJ Johnson seems sensitive but lovable ... just his expression. It hurts to know he committed suicide. What a loss. I say this because sometimes we know of ppl, hear them but never look as closely as we do others.
He had a fatal disease and could no longer perform as he wished. A sad story after so many years of wonderful music. The first be-bop trombonist. [beause he had the chops for it.]
Didn’t know that about jj.. such great groove in his playing. I used to listen to this at school when I was 13
Mr. Johnson experienced prostate cx for which he was completely cured so he was not in bad health when he shot himself in 2001. We never know what others are experiencing. He was a compassionate man who retired to be with his ailing first wife until her death. He remarried years later so his suicide was unexpected.
JJ had a heroine addiction
@@boomerang905 That's not true..no his exwife Carolyn personally who was present at the time of his death. She states emphatically it was his illness and inability to perform as old that drove him to suicide.
there's something so compelling about jazz...I just wish more people "got" it.
Careful what you wish for! When a music becomes popular, it tends to turn into popular music.
It would be great if more people could make a decent living playing it and then were able to keep doing it for years so they could build a notable career. Becoming too popular is not what I would fret about. But “getting it” takes some time listening to quality examples and not just old recordings by players that are already dead. Jazz has to be alive and always developing. The younger kids learning from the older players.
+ = best Walter Bishop solo i ever heard ..
Istvan Solihull
Yes. Inventive right hand throughout as well as soulful
McGhee is digging that JJ solo
Will we ever see this much talent together on one stage again.?
Stitt opening with tenor madness
Sonny Stitt - Exquisite!
Thanks for the upload.
It was great to hear Howard again. He was one of the finest of the bop trumpeters, with great instrumental control. Listen to him on the Charlie Parker Dial sessions. He is way better than some of the Blue Note regulars in the 60s.
Sonny killing it-yeah!!!
Jay Jay .. unbelievable playing and sound🔥🔥🔥
Marvellous!!!some of my idols playing together!!!!thank you!!!
Great Superb Thank you SOGLIDER for wonderful video !!!!!
Also - JJ after quoting Stravinsky on 6:26 (as many noticed already), he very cleverly quotes Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" on 6:40 and proceeds with some beautiful short variations on that theme. Genius :)
What is the quote at 8:19?
@@davidleech4521 The Hymn. A Charlie Parker tune.
@@citizen251 Thanks.
AWESOME 👏 BRAVO 👏 👏 SALUTE TO THESE MUSICIANS 🎵🎶
great McGhee's solo (my favourit in this piece)
This is vintage bop with such a melodic passion
Wow! These musicians are great😍 They've all created that soul-satisfying vibe. I'd heard of JJ Johnson but just wasn't into the trombone as a horn but this man brought it to life in JAZZ. So I will never think of trombone as a marching band only horn😘
Jj lay down the foundation for true jazz trombone the grand master😎
@@josephsudlersr.7854 JJ is the GOAT
These bold and inventive musicians -- along with other brilliant musicians -- Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie Bud Powell, Tad Dameron, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, Fats Navarro etc. represented a group of the supremely gifted, talented and innovative musical technicians who arrived on the heels of the Big Band Swing scene and sent packing and on their merry way--far less talented musicians -- white musicians particularly -- with a new and refreshing approach at performing a sophisticated and non-danceable style of Jazz that hadn't been seen or heard before or since.
Bop LIVES!
I love walking pianissimo in this forest of geniuses...toward some would call, Bath of most encouraging fresh waters of Jazz. Love
Just wow!! Saw Delfeayo Marsallis last evening so I am in a trombone mood. But, I LOVE McGhee's trumpet playing!!
Bravo Sonny ! Rien à envier à Parker !
Stitt is stoned… but somehow manage to play an amazing solo.. just pure talent..
I've watched this video a dozen times. It just doesn't get any better than this. Everyone's at the top of his game. Thank you,
Love this and especially seeing Howard McGhee! There's way too little of him on video. Everybody's playing their butts off though. Howard was a great personality and I love his enthusiasm, even though Sonny didn't seem to. THANKS for posting this!
Long may Howard McGhee be remembered.
LOVE McGhee!
"Isso" não existe mais... temos que agradecer o "milagre da Internet" e... curtir muitooooo !!!!!!! Fantástico !!!!
Esse é o Jazz absoluto, improvisado, esplendido, maravilhoso por todos esses instrumentistas do primeiro time, cujos nomes se tornaram lendas vivas, mesmo após a passagem inexorável do anos. Congratulations.
Howard attended HS in Detroit, in 1941 was in a fine band with Teddy Edwards, Al McKibbon (JC Heard's brother in law), and Wardell Gray.....The Club Congo Orchestra.....
The placement is far more representative of most jazz set-ups than the close-knit Mingus circles, where he has musicians touching knees and practically holding hands. Sonny Stitt was always there--didn't matter where--if I stayed long enough and there was a jazz club, he'd appear. The lone wolf, and the last of a breed. Always a sight for sore eyes (and dead ears).
Howard really is sweet.
can't stop listening to that 4:33 - 4:40 lick..
Great video, some of the best archive jazz on youtube!
Some of The Best footage on TH-cam.
Play it, Play it, Mr. JJ!
im transcriping sonny solo right now... WAY harder than expected
Oh ya baby straight up jazz “
I may be a Tenor Sax player, but the way J. J. Johnson and Bill Harris play trombone, I could almost have taken up that instrument!
6:27 Rite of the spring
tonificador Peter and the Wolf shortly after that.
Damn Great.
VERY RARE FOOTAGE. THANKS FOR POSTING VIDEO OF THIS GREAT PERFORMANCE. SONNY IS SPECTACULAR.
you
know date?
+F. M. 1964 germany
@@akamakamcharlesjoel9278 Actually I believe this is from a BBC Jazz 625 tv program and was recorded in London. I'm pretty other tunes other tunes from this session are available on youtube , alos other programs with the likes of Bill Evans, Clark Terry, Herman Band etc just search Jazz 625.
Sonny said in @ 1962, that west coast "Cool School" jazz, represented best by Art Pepper and Lee Konitz, with way over the top man, Bud Shank, was on the "female side." Caused a big uproar. I was blowin' tenor with Natalie Cole, and with the surf band, the "Intruders." When I heard Johnnie Griffin play at Dennis Dragon's house, huge hi-fi blasting. He said, "Oh Greg, that's some shiny black, man. You can't, we can't play like that." "S--t yeah." I said. Put the alto sax down for awhile, after trying to keep up with Jackie McLean. Paul Desmond sound came easier for me, since my jazz lesson giver was the great, first Ogden Nash from Alliance Ohio grammar school, then Dorance Stalvey. Gees Mr. D could blow Lee of the Tristano school of fastest bebop-J.S. Bach-Charlie Parker jazz. and along came Trane...Eric Dolphy died way way too soon, God bless all of us, everyone, gorgeous souls. Staying human, - by G.T.
Ain't nothing like it .......real deal all the way! THX
All legends
Grandes del jazz para todos los tiempos!!
Thanks for this ... marvellous !!
... sein durchdachtes Posaunenspiel war seit jeher
und ist auch zukünftig eine kreative Messlatte
für fortgeschrittene Jazzposaunisten in der Spieltechnik ...
... his elaborate trombone playing has always been
and will continue to be a creative benchmark in the future
for advanced jazz trombonists in playing technique.
Looks to me like Sonny was not digging Howard’s enthusiasm during Stitt’s solo. Howard McGhee was one of the swing players that learned the new language, but maybe he didn’t get the memo about acting cool and aloof. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the Bop masters, but it does my heart good to see amazing young artists like Snarky Puppy and John Batiste who have complete mastery of the styles yet aren’t afraid to show their joy in the process.
If folks are liking Stitt’s alto playing y’all should check out his tenor chops! Ex: ‘The Eternal Triangle’ w/ Dizzy & Rollins!
Amazing what these guys can do with a 12 bar.
JJ also quotes Prokofieve Peter and the Wolf.
great music
Thanks for adding this. Sonny!
Impeccable!
