Don Ellis so underrated the frank zappa of the jazz world
My Uncle is the bass player... Thank the Creator for Don Ellis And Uncle Darrel no one plays like you! Thanks for Great Music and i hear you two playing in Heaven!!!
i dont believe in god but im guess im kinda spiritual
so im happy too that everything that happened in this world brought us someone like this even if he was taken from us so young
anyways love to yall
oh and send your uncle my lobe too will you
And thank your Uncle! I'm a high schooler, I play bass with my school's jazz band, and we all have A BLAST every time we play this song, including me. The syncopation on the bass part is crazy wacky and funky. I love it!
Man, your uncle is AWESOME!!!
blessings to a legend!!
Jim Snodgrass - baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, piccolo, flute, oboe - was my 7th grade health teacher and one of the coolest cats on campus!
Wonderful! May Don's most adventurous Spirit rest peacefully knowing what a gift 🎁 🙏 his talents were to the world 🌎
most respectfully..Vaughn 🎺
Wow, I can't believe I didn't find this sooner. I have the LP, and the reissued CD, and I know every note of this piece. Leave to Don Ellis to take a 4/4 melody and subdivide it so it sounds like 33/16! (A noteworthy time signature among Don Ellis fans.) I was so fortunate to get to see this band at Blues Alley in Washington, DC just before they took off for Montreux that year, and was counting the days until the album came out. Next thing I knew, he had passed away. We lost Don Ellis way too soon!
Such a unique and creative talent, we lost him far too soon ❤
He was the first to introduce my head to complex rhythms
Don Ellis' music was a gift to the Drum & Bugle Corps activity. Many Corps played his music in the 70's and is still being played today by Corps at all competitive levels. Thanks to the 27th Lancers for introducing me to his music, and to all jazz radio stations who continue play his music
oldschooldrumcorps I played mellophone in the 27th Lancers Alumni and was part of the quintet playing the "telephone call" part!
If I could do it all over again, I would've Marched 27 by any means!
27th should’ve won in 1980. Loved their arrangement of this piece, glad I found the original
Nobody's played his music since Devs and Madison in 1993, but I feel you.
@@ryancox5097 I think the Crossmen did Strawberry Soup in 2022. But yes, It's been way to long since we heard a Don Ellis chart in DCI. Madison was going to play Strawberry Soup again in 2020 before the pandemic. If you search Madison 2020 they have the chart they were going to play. It's on youtube.
Ellis one of the all time bests. Chain Reaction is my favorite.
Beautiful! Don gave his unique concept and all of his heart ❤️ and soul to his music. May his Spirit rest peacefully 🙏 for eternity. His sincere admirer always..Vaughn 🎺
Literally brings tears to my eyes, it's so good.
Man I love this song. We played on the field in marching band in high school. Had a complete blast with the vocals with 300 kids all memorizing the riffs. The music was fun and the drill was perfect.
I can't help but think of Chase's "Open Up Wide" when I see the title of this song. It's sad to think that two great trumpet players were taken from the world too soon.
Too soon but they left us with treasures to enjoy.
Dave my bro should love this...i love it more ...thanks Don
He had started paving the way, in the years earlier, for the likes of Mangione who reaped all the reward. "Open Wide" should have been every bit as big as "Land of Make Believe". The pioneers rarely get their due.
Ellis won a Grammy Award for scoring The French Connection and Mangione remains elevator music done to the highest apex. Ellis' legacy is doing just fine. :)
I saw this band many years ago in The Ronnie Scott jazz club in London. I was totally blown away by his sound. RIP DON😢
Don Ellis music one word. FUN!! and that's all that music is. let's all have a good time!
Earl Viney right with you man!
came to my college El Camino in 71 blew our socks off.. polytonal polymetric genius
I'm 67. I was 22 when he played this. I was blessed to be introduced to Don Ellis' music by a personal friend of his who was my first music teacher, Jerry Moore, when I began playing trumpet at 10 years old. By 16 I was in the highschool jazz band and Jerry Moore then was the jazz band director at College of the Redwoods Eureka, California. Mr. Moore also had a community jazz band which met each Thursday at 7 pm. His two sons played in our highschool jazz band directed by a man who had played trombone in the Woody Herman band in the 1940s. Jerry Moore wrote a band piece named Thursdays at 7 which was in 7/4. We performed it in the highschool jazz band. Later that year 1970-71 he convinced Don to have his band perform in podunk Eureka. I was able to meet Don personally before the show. He justifiably wondered if the ticket sales would even cover the cost of the performance. But the performance was fantastic. The selections were a mix of songs recorded on the Don Ellis at Fillmore and Tears of Joy albums.
I was married in 1978 and my children grew up listening to Final Analysis.
This is my #1 modern Orchestra as well as #1 composer, arranger, leader and conductor.
His progressive style of "trumpetizing" and conducting must have been adored and admired by especially the latter-day, "electronic" Miles Davis and the "Hi-Lite Jiving" Wayne Shorter of today Funk-fusion.
Don Ellis was time ahead; don't you think?😠
It is time overdue for a renaissance of his genre - as was presented by him and his musical "troupe".
Long live Mr. Don Ellis!😠
I
Today is the first time I listened to Don Ellis. What a Master is this man! Bless him up there!
My high school is playing a shortened version of this song for our marching season. So far we sound pretty great and my best friend gets to play that epic trumpet solo
HIS MUSIC BLOW ME TO KINGDOM COME HE DIED ALL TO YOUNG.
THE GODS ARE PULLING HOME
THOSE THEY LOVE. R.I.P
The most forward thinking jazz musician of the 20th century!
Had the opportunity to catch Don and the band during the 70's at the Golden Banana north of Boston. They had just returned from Europe and the horns were delayed in shipping for days!......they arrived just before the show, and the guys tore into the music...two nights of witnessing up close a Haley's Comet of the era. Thanks, Don!.....miss you
Now I know what the performance of this chart on my Montreux album looks like! I never saw Don Ellis live but was fortunate to pick up a number of his albums in the budget bins back in the day.
Saw him live several times was past exciting.
@@judylea1671 Saw he and his orchestra perform around 1974. Two hours full on, 10-minute break, played another 90 minutes. Amazing performance. Sad he passed so young.
I played in a local big band called the BVS and had Don as a guest conductor and artist. What a ball playing with him back in the 70's.
Had the record, later a CD. Have never seen this video. 42 years later, a video that shows it as it happened. Amazing...
Important to keep his music alive, Bill Chase, Maynard, so many horn players. Arturo Sandoval keeps going.
Unbelievably beautiful and technically outstanding!!!
Oh, wow, I have this on LP but have never seen footage of the concert. Thanks for sharing this!
Yeah, same here. Was like a gift when I discovered this existed.
This adds the cake under the frosting.
Same here, brings tears
Great stuff. We thried to play this tune in Sogn and Fjordane Storband in in Norway the 80's but even though it was hard, it was great fun!
I never think of Ellis as a particularly high-note artist, but he hits that early night note as cleanly, clearly, and beautifully as Maynard or Biviano.
so beautiful man this that real music eardrum healers
Wow! I've never seen this performed live! Always dug this piece.
It is great to see footage of one of my heroes from High School. I saw the Ellis Band three times in the early 1970s. Fantastic shows. Thanks for posting this.
awesome!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic. So much fun, such a great sound!
Don Ellis was by far one of the most creative composer, musician, and great trumpet player!!! Amazing!! these charts are very hard to write and make them sound good. but man he is amazing
Heard Don Ellis with this band at the Depot in Minneapolis which is now " First Avenue " and famous for Prince. Also heard Don Ellis when he fronted for the Stan Kenton Band when Kenton was ill, also here in Minneapolis. Great talent and died way too young.
WOWOWOWOWOWWWW!!! FANTASTIC! OH YEAH!!!
Uno de los grandes del big band...super compositor arreglista y musico..super grabacion en vivo..
this is the concert I missed!!! I was in Heidelberg Germany at the time with the 33rd Army band and I didn't make it. CRAP!!! Thanks so much for posting it, i think he peaked with this album and concert, just fantastic!!!! God Bless you for posting this!!!!!!
Favorite musician of all time
Man starting it off with konnakol and a solid tihai! Can't believe there is video of this stuff!!
Very good thanks
Don your still the greatest!!RIP
For those unaware, this is samba!
Fantastic
Brilliant ,with Live at the Filmore at his top , do agree with Becky Coleman , that would be my first stop , shame he died so young
0:42
Blew my mind with the south-Indian rhythm break-downs.
Праздник Музыки!❤
this is amazing, Thank you
Misericórdia que músicos bom
Electrifying.
AWB was there that year also.
brilliance
Don Ellis reinvented the concept of the "Big Band".
Thank god Frank Zappa opened the door.
+benthead Ellis hit Monterey hard in 1966 with his big band and never looked back. Zappa didn't get into "large" jazz ensembles until a few years after that. I like them both, have all available recordings! I was in a high school jazz band in those mid 60s years - it was an exciting time.
Speaking of Zappa, is that him on the right at 1:02? It sure looks like him.
I grew up on Don Ellis. Maynard was good, but Don Ellis was much more experimental. If you like spaced out jazz check out "live at Philmore".
Fillmore!
I have a couple of Don Ellis LP:s, but I´ve never seen him "live"
That was like 6 years before this concert.

Janne from Sweden
Why is he turning his pages backward at 6:08? A repeating section?
Great stuff, and on my mother's birthday! (I just played it for her last weekend)
Certified. Bad. Asses. Damn that's hot
Luke Skywalker on vocals at 1:00
Don rules!
Might this concery eventually be available on DVD? This is one of my favourite albums and I've been wondering what it actually looked like for years! Many thanks for this!!
This was never commercially released - ebh
Intro vocal chant: see gamelan music from Bali.
That’s what he said
A true virtuoso, playing and writing. He'd be dead in a year :(
one thing for sure: they had better sound engineers those days! Band and Ellis are on fire
It reminds me too much of Chuck's tunes... The inspiration for them?

What???
Actually, none of these corps played Open Wide. However, 1979 27th Lancers did.
Northrop High School Big Orange Pride 1988
Was that the band that was on the Poseidon Adventure staring Gene Hackman just before the big wave hit the side of the ship?
If I remember correctly, Don Ellis did the sound track for "the French Connection" …I think Gene Hackman was in that.
pedazo de bestia y bestias!!!
This is actually a young Steve Ballmer
Anyone know what the title of the video this comes from is?
Is he playing a flugelhorn with a French horn mouthpiece?
Where Chuck M. got his ideas.
Heavy chin! :O
This is an entirely different band than Ellis had earlier. Crazy. Did he really just get rid of his whole band?
Благо Труьба Джаз! Пожар!!
Stan Kenton's son?
At 8:50 what is the woman playing?
Probably the Timpani
Looks like vibraphone or marimba. Looking again, I also think it may be timpani with a set of vibes in front hiding the timp.
Modus Novus
Reincarnation of Bix Beiberbek - maybe so!!!
What's the deal with the orangey symbols on the musicians' shirts?
too much 4/4!
+cpu554 Can't be in non-standard time all the time!
4/4 OR OR NONSTANDARD TIME SIGNATURE
TO HELL WITH THAT AS LONG ITS
MUSIC AND HAPPY ONE
At least it's syncopated.
Ahh the 70s. Great music and a whole lot of stupid hair :)
The stupid hair era was the 80's, by a long shot.
