- The Nearness of You -- Arnett Cobb 1982
This clip is from a concert in Berlin in 1982 featuring the original Texas tenor saxophonists. Arnett Cobb's solo piece Misty is accompanied by pianist Wild Bill Davis, bassist Bernard Upsom and drummer Frankie Dunlop. During some of the background riffs he is joined by Illinois Jacquet and Buddy Tate on tenor saxes.
Arnett Cobb (1918--1989)was born in Houston, Texas. He replaced Illinois Jacquet in Lionel Hampton's band in 1942, staying with Hampton until 1947.
Cobb then started his own seven-piece band, but suffered a serious illness in 1950, which necessitated spinal surgery. Although he re-formed the band on his recovery, in 1956 its success was again interrupted, this time by a car crash. This had long term effects on his health, involving periods in hospital, and making him permanently reliant on crutches; nevertheless, Cobb worked as a soloist through the 1970s and 1980s in the U.S. and Europe.

Absolutely unbelievable !!!! The end is incredible, there is more soul, feeling, fire and passion in that old man hurt by life than in all tenors today.... A music & life lesson !
You didnt see him perform, after he sat on his stool, cuz one leg was way shorter that the other, you felt it all over. TOTAL soul in his tone. it was like the horn was really part of him.Austin in the the late 70s. one of the most soulful performers I EVER saw!
it dont get no more saxy than that!
A saxual orgasmic ending.WOW
I met Cobb in his later years, well aware of his reputation having so many of his LP's. I closed my eyes to listen, seeing him in pain and listened to the magic pour from the bell of his horn. A master among so many of them . We who appreciate jazz as a fine art are surely blessed
Age tries to still the magic flowing out of Cobb but fails....broken physically, on crutches, he produces sounds to gladden the heart and make your day. Hail the King of the tenor sax!.....( amongst other of course! )
Everybody: this is not 'Misty', it is 'The Nearness Of You', composed by Hoagy Carmichael.
I got Misty
You're right Buckshot and its still a good song, played very well.
One of my heroes. Beautiful.🎷❣️
Quelle sonorité ! De la puissance, de la douceur, des nuances pleines de délicatesse et une grande inspiration. Il est parmi mes saxophonistes ténor préférés. Un monument !
Tender...romantic.....urgent...inspired ... Beautiful...art
those texas tenors are the best. saw this cat at the spectrum in montreal a few years ago, he was special.
Quel son !!! Quelle générosité artistique !! Love Arnett Cobb and Illinois Jacquet !!!
POUR MOI: ARNETT FUT LE PLUS GRAND TENOR SAX, DE TOUS LES TEMPS !!! SON EXPRESSIVITÉ TONALE, SON LYRISME ET AUSSI, SA CAPACITÉ D'ABSTRACTION MÉLODIQUE, SONT GÉNIALES !!! MERICI POUR LA VIDEO. DIRECTEMENT DE SALVADOR-BRASIL = AUTOUMN 2023.
This is tooo brilliant man!!!!!!!! I am in absolute awe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The feeling he puts down. He tell his story and you are in suspense as to what he’s gonna say next. Man alive dude!!!!!!!!!!!🎷😁🎷😁♥️
A great musician. I used to see him in Houston in the 70s
That man just blowed up a storm !
Brilliant!!!
Absolutely great!
...May by the one of the best version.Heavenly
He touches my heart !
wow what a player
Thank you.
What a great player and he could hold his own with the younger tenor players
Ceci est sans aucun doute la vidéo la plus émouvante que j'ai vue sur YTube ...
Eine fantastische, romantische Musik gespielt von ausgezeichnetten Musiken...
Never spoken a word of Teutisch language, but when it comes about Mr. Arnette Cobb I understand we both like it. Verbotten!
Know you know how and why the very best players sounded like this. They had to have listen to him. Arnett was a master player and a wonderfull story teller. Just dig the way he get's down on those chords and what a cadenza!
I am Fan and the soul and attitude is something you can not teach. Love it !
Love it EVERYWAY
Nobody has commented that the poor chap is supported by crutches. Great sound in the Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins tradition. Good to see such an enthusiastic and young audience.
Maybe you the only one who trades the magic for the obvious.
if I didn't know better, I would have thought that this was HOUSTON PERSON great sound
He is A Houston person, but not THE Houston Person. :-)
@@southtxguitarist LOL!
beautiful
Cette vie, cette légèreté virevoltante en défi aux béquilles ... Rien de meilleur aux oreilles cette nuit pleine d'espoir de sommeil, les yeux déjà fermés, au loin
quelle sonorité !
velue !!

He is of the Coleman Hawkins school
: The big sound.
Nearness of you, such a great tune.
Nice..... Simply
Это превосходно, сильный музыкант, сильный человек, с большим сердцем!
Gob.Shite. I'd be glad to hear anything other than the bleeding sound of my sorrow! Outside of the composition at hand, played marvelously. Bon vivant!

Alastair
This song is THE NEARNESS OF YOU
What'll ya have?
Misty or The Nearness of You.Just 👍 GREAT!!!
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's playing "The Nearness of You" . It has, of course, many of the same notes as "Misty"
You're a f*****' encyclopedia?!
@@jamesbns7261lol...no, he is just Russian, Vladimir from Russia!
As Ronnie Scott used to say.......regularly
@@MrBoybergs You're right, Ronnie was my friend and I stole it from him..(:))
ha ha. good one!
The guy plays superbly white on crutches . Kudos!
Kereen, smooth, elegan 👍
Saw this amazing gentleman at Ronnie Sotts Jazz club, London back in the early 80s(ish). At one point he stopped the whole band because he fluffed an altissimo note in the middle of a tune. It was (intentionally on his part) hilarious to watch him make the band go back 8 bars so he could go at it again (with success). Great musician and he seemed like a lovely, mild mannered guy aswell.
story in that sound
Yeah he was telling us his whole life story. I felt that for sure wow!!!
a esto llamo ser un genio !!!!
Arnett Cobb I believe played with Duke Ellington in 1945-46.
Sweet
Cobb had a Houston connection. I saw him many times, oddly enough, at an oyster bar/ seafood restaurant called Huber's.
He was always ill, but a great talent who never got his due, IMHO.
wow superb
The Nearness of You
Wow! Just WOW!
🎼The Nearness of You.
muito bom hem!!!!!!! kkkk
So much WOOOW
Geweldig; hij praat en zingt met z'n instrument
I was going to mention that he's playing the changes to "The Nearness Of You", not "Misty" . . . seconding an earlier comment below.
I like his quote from "The Peanuts Vendor"!
"The Nearness of You". Very similar chord progression (different key) as Misty. Bridge and last A is different.
gran pa
Arnett Cobb.....the rest is jazz history.
Song is incorrectly labeled as Misty. Should be The Nearness of YOU
His sax is as expressive as Billie Holiday, naughty but suave....
.
Wow
What!!?!?.playing enough to wipe away the competition, and on crutches!!,good grief
Very Big tenor sax
mucho corazon ¡¡¡¡¡
❤️👏👏👏☝️
We the senior generation grew up among Giants , now the midgets are among us (rap).
because rap is the only other form of music
Miles Barnett today's music sucks
Fantastic clip, thanks for posting. One correction: the title of this song is not 'Misty' but 'The Nearness Of You'. He played it very often at the end of his career.
Dear Admin, please correct the title of the song !!!
hoooo a sax in all his moods!
My God How Delicious.
Уинстон Черчилль играет на саксофоне
Antonio Ha 같은데...??
what for a Genre of Jazz is this?
swing ballad with a lot of RnB phrases in his solo
otto link user
I thought this was in f****** CASABLANCA!
Be Bop would be hated by the Country/Rock crowd...
Cobb was a great grandstander but he was extremely popular .Not the most photogenic guy in the world.
座らせろよ！！
