Three months, three weeks, and five days after this concert, we lost Milt Jackson. He would be 100 years old if he were here with us on this first day of year 2023. I *dearly* wish that he were. Happy 100th birth anniversary, Bags! (wherever you are).
My husband Garry heard Milt w. Mike LeDonne & Mickey "The Stoker" Roker at Brooklyn Conservatory in 1998. It's a long way from Perth, Western Australia where we live but Garry studied briefly jazz vibes w. Joe Locke & Stefon Harris as well as jamming on guitar w. Peter Bernstein. Sadly for Garry he never heard Bobby live but has all his albums on CD & vinyl. Check him on Y/T w. Bob Sedergreen playing "Little B's Poem".
I am sure that at this stage in their careers the artists featured on this fabulous video recording appreciate the exposure and the effort to put this on the Web. Freeware exposure translates into increased sales. Nice and tight playing and just a pleasure to my ears. Mahalo! Dennis A. Rofoli Kenai, Alaska
I can recall Bobby talking about how nervous the idea of playing with his original hero made him. A good friend of his, young Jackie McLean from Harlem, had that experience, on his very first studio invitation (by Miles Davis). As they were set to record, HIS Alto hero, Charlie Parker was sitting in the engineer's booth!
Joey Defrancesco noted that Milt is to Charlie Parker and Bobby is to John Coltrane. This is vibes players heaven and both provide the template as to how to play jazz vibraphone - masters without peer.
fantastic to see the two great vibes players together. Milt died later that year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milt_Jackson Bobby has passed on too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Hutcherson
I saw the Milt Jackson Quartet in Chicago years ago at the Jazz Showcase. Sat in the front row about 5 feet from the stage. Milt, Ray Brown, Gene Harris, and Mickey Roker on drums. Man, they were swinging HARD. They are all stellar musicians.
@@bigswingface5847 : How lucky you are! _ They all are my fave musicians. They all were blues masters with tons of groove, which today’s musicians tend to lack.
@@jimtakahashi4638 Agreed! It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen - - - I've seen SO many of the Jazz Masters at the Jazz Showcase. Great memories from a bygone era, sadly.
how can they stand that collar around their neck, and the jacket, the whole uniform, one can look nice withouth the compulsory western uniform? Mischy Maisky cellist looks nice. And then they are buried in that sh.t.

It's sad and I dare say it's a shame that such giants die while there are many politicians still alive
Bag's last groove. All the good is forever. listened to you since the mid-fifties.
Love this thank you for sharing
This is what I call sophisticated Jazz! There's no other name to call it. Yes, it is!!!!
No need to erase. Milt Jackson, in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest jazz musicians EVER!
A unique original!
This is just four months before Milt Jackson died of cancer. A great man and musician!
Bobby Hutcherson's playing is just off the hook!!!!
Milt Jackson is so underrated it's a sin!
I heard him live in Dallas Texas a couple of times. Unbelievable!
He's certainly a genius, Milt Jackson. We are so fortunate to be able to listen to him any time.
if I had musical heroes Milt and Bobby would be them. Both big influences.

thanks for this great music
38:20 good line bob
THNX!!!!
I’ve never heard of Michael LeDonne but I know he is a superior pianist.
I think vibraphonists tend to have a particularly discerning (or rather demanding) ear for pianists.
JAZZ GIANTS.
Magnífica audició
fantastic to see the two great vibes players together.

Bobby liked that high end.
Oh, and I really like the drummer (Mickey Roker).

Es triste que a México no vengan músicos de la talla de Milt Jackson y Bobby Hutcherson lamentable
I believe the first tune is by Cedar Walton. Forget the name of it, but sounds just like him.
These badd muthafuckas were swingin!!
RIP Bobby! you will be missed. And since he was a Catholic convert: ETERNAL REST, GRANT UNTO HIM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HIM, AMEN
バイブが二人だ❗
Pierre Boussaguet plays bass
Who's the pianist?
I read that he was a pianist too, but if you play the vibraphone like he did, why bother with a piano!
how can they stand that collar around their neck, and the jacket, the whole uniform, one can look nice withouth the compulsory western uniform? Mischy Maisky cellist looks nice. And then they are buried in that sh.t.
they just straight up don't know the 2nd composition well enough
Nick Daskalovic scratch that the pianist is the one who forgot
