I met Nathan Davis in Youngstown at YSU.. Scholarly and Brilliantly Soulful.. played with Eric Dolphy too These guys are Priceless so, Play On !! 🎶🔥😉👍🏾🙏🏾👁️☝🏼
Nathan Davis lived in Europe for over a decade as an expatriate jazz Musician. He came back to USA to teach Jazz history and his Writings In Jazz is the definitive Jazz history . I studied under him at the University of Pittsburgh in 1976. He just passed away 2018 at 82 yrs old. He would've had larger stature if he hadn't stayed in Europe. No one goes to Europe and blows up. The jazz stars in Europe went over there stars like Dexter Gordon. The European Jazz stars played with them that's how they became Stars. It started in USA not Europe.
Nathan Davis was one of the best soprano players of all time and his tenor playing is also top notch. As already stated he wasn’t recorded in the US much. His albums are extremely hard to find and pricey. Fantastic release last year from Sam Records with a date from Paris with George Arvantes around this same time (mid 60s) and I’ll buy this one too.
@@Zxx459 dr Davis was a great person ! I knew him as far as being a star he played with the jazz Messengers in Europe. They were between sax players. Dr Davis was a huge Sonny Rollins man. Wayne Shorter went through the comparison of Coltrane but was out the Rollins school. Rollins had the burden of being the top tenor after Trane died. I thought Nathan was doing something different on soprano. Not like Trane or Wayne . He came back to USA to teach an found things. One is I found who he could actually teach and who he could help. His family and comfortable life in Europe were a given and stateside he was cool also
Jaki Byard is sick killing it!! Man he's playing history percussive left hand figures then two hand swells . It looked like he wasn't going to use the left hand then he hit these awesome two hand runs. Bet he loved The Monk. I saw Jaki Byard in the late 70s, utterly awesome.
For those of you who don’t know N. Davis now you do!!! For those who didn’t appreciate J. Byard , now you do. Freddie Hubbard is a beast.... that bass is classic and ART is a SUPER HERO
all the great drummers had their special flavor of afro curban beats. arguably all equally amazing! I will say though Bu's was very special. but don't count out elvin's or higg's latin beats!!
BYARD! Our main man isn't around to defend himself so someone has to do it! ! ! ! Nobody misspells Bach or Beethoven so they shouldn't misspell(disrespect!) the greats in our domain like Mr Byard or our favorite victim of spelling errors THELONIOUS Monk !
Exactly _ _ upon watching this , it's a bit of Monk visiting . The photographer was able to capture priceless moments _ _ Blakey's eye contact with Byard during Freddie's solo and Freddie's release after finishing the solo . Too much !
d .byn - Yes sir, but then I am nuts, crazy, and insane where that instrument is concerned,....GREATEST INSTRUMENT man ever invented. Thank you Adolph Sax.
I always tease my drum students that they need to look tuff when they play, much like an athlete, except when you're trying to play like Art Blakey........ then you can SMILE AWAY ; )
Just to show that shit happens in all contexts and you have to live with it: and certainly not flip out! The difference between the pros and the non-pros is that the pros recognize the problem and solve it immediately in real-time and mask it as well as possible. And keep on making music…
@@jibsmokestack1 1965 in France, as the credits say at the end. Looking at a chronology of Art Blakey's gigs and recording sessions, it looks like this was at Palais de la Mutualite, Paris Jazz Festival, Paris France on Nov 3, 1965, although this gig is listed as unrecorded. Apparently, this line up with Nathan Davis only lasted a few days.
Mid 60s @ maybe earlier because Blakey needed a tenor and picked Wayne Shorter in Canada playing with Maynard Ferguson when Lee Morgan was still playing trumpet.
Jazz library memorabilia of books pay tribute to the giants of jazz pantheon proud to say I have Slim Harpo, Jelly Roll Morton, Art Blakely and the messengers innovative saxophonist and bandmates
What a special treat! Couple of rare messengers- Nathan Davis and Jaki Byard!
I miss Freddie Hubbard's solos with his deep & alot of times intense tone and smooth rolling sound that could bark out at the right places.
Art Blakey, Max Roach, ELVIN JONES...the holy trinity of drummers 😊

He is an underrated genius!

One of the most incredible piano solo ever here from Jacky Byard

Man...he was a ferocious drummer...they called him "Thunder," and that is what he sounded like. But no one could afro-cuban beats like him.

Trop rare Nathan Davis découvert avec Woody Shaw dans les années 60
Wow
challenging piece! The saxophone player plays mainly chord-arpeggio's on the "A " part. Safe approach, but is works.
Yes!!!
Nathan Davis :)

2019: dat drum solo doe
What could you say.!
Anyone else notice that the rhythm section screws up the form on Freddie’s second chorus?

It is called being a risk taker, so listen and learn.
