PACIFIC MAMBO: "A NIGHT IN TUNISIA". MIL GRACIAS POR UNA BELLÍSIMA PRESENTACIÓN DE ALTO CALIBRE. EXCELENTE TRUMPETISTA, ORCHESTRA E ARREGLO MÚSICALES!! LINDO RITMOS LATINOS!!! 💗
Pacific Mambo Orchestra; That band is 'SMOKIN'!!!!!!!!! YES; 'FUMANDO'!!!!!! I hope to hear the orchestra live as soon as they hit the Big Apple. The arrangement was well done and Jon Faddis hit those golden high notes in the spirit of the great Dizzy Gillespie. The percussionists were definitely 'on point' and the entire woodwind and brass sections were screaming; 'lets swing this'!!! A job that was definitely, 'well done'!!
One of the best version I've ever heard of Gillespies theme. The PMO's sound is like a thunder and Mr. Faddis ... well he's Dizzy's son. So great!. Mr. Birks would be proud!.
A quick history of this song: “A Night in Tunisia” is one of the most famous jazz standards, composed in 1942 by Dizzy Gillespie. In the beginning, there was no mention at all of Tunisia in this song. It was named “Interlude », and its lyrics were completely different... But why Tunisia? During World War II, the American army fought the German army in North Africa, particularly on Tunisia’s soil. Several thousands of American soldiers died there, their remains now resting in the American cemetery of Carthage. The Second World War represented a crucial moment in the African-Americans empowering movement. Black people fought alongside White people and were welcomed as heroes by liberated populations. But in the United States, they were still subject to segregation and did not receive the same honors at the end of the war. Thus, the years that followed were years of uprisings which lead to the Civil Rights Movement. The bebop style, introduced during this period by Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and others, pictured that rebellious spirit perfectly. This innovative style turned its back on big bands’ too conventional and consensual jazz. It developed complex harmonies on a rhythm way faster, more nervous and syncopated, taking inspiration from African rhythms. “A night in Tunisia” belongs to that movement: its rhythm is Afro-Cuban, its harmonies and its melody have something unsettling and exotic which can evoke Orient… or Tunisia. The same Tunisia which represented, during the war, the arrival on the African ground, the continent of origin of Black Americans. Thus, this Tunisia where “the moon is the same moon above you […] Never does it shine so bright”, where stars “guide you through the desert sand” and where “the nights are filled with peace” was a beautiful symbol of return to the roots, peace, and hope for African-Americans
Thank you for the great account of the origin; even more for the rich history of all performers who found refuge in Europe when their own homeland kept them from belonging to their birthplace.
I don't mean to be rude or even racist but the majority of Tunisians are not black I'm myself Tunisian and I'm not black so when u say that the africo-americans are originally from Tunisia is completely false
@@supportersofcheguevaraandc5551 He never said african americans were from Tunisia, he said Tunisia represented landfall on the continent of Africa, which is the origin of Black Americans.
Fantastic comment---History, culture, music and innovation of the Black and Latin interplay. It's all represented in your post. Thanks("Shukran" as they say in Arabic).
All yoy guys are unbelievable!!!!... The most evolved version I've heard of that magic theme.... And the best background for the Dizzy's heritage with Mr. Faddis... Muy grande!!!
Got to say, this is a great arrangement of one of my favorite Jazz tunes. Just enough novelty to give it its own personality while still paying homage to the original. Love Jon Faddis.
Wow!! What a dope performance! This is what a big band all about. I know from experience, it's nothing like playing my saxophone in a big band. I love Latin Jazz!
What a killer arrangement. I got to be on stage with Faddis once back in 2002. To hear him play while standing just a few feet away was amazing. The amount of sound that comes out of his trumpet is just crazy. A different level...lol.
Super playing guys! Jon and Dafnis are outstanding! I have followed Jon's playing for the past 40 years and his stratospheric playing is amazing as always! I will certainly be listening to more of the Pacific Mambo Orchestra! Thank you for post this great video!
Dafnis is one of a few drummers who can play with a Latin percussion section and enhance the music without covering up the parts of the percussionists.
Lord have mercy. Pure joy. Cooking! My previous life, I must have lived in Latin countries, cause I dig this beyond words.
A NIGHT IN TUNISIA: COMPOSED BY THE INDELIBLE
MR. DIZZY GILLESPIE, JAZZ.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
TQ FOR A BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE BY PACIFIC
MAMBO!!!! 💗💗💗
Was an honor to perform with Jon Faddis, trumpet teacher and mentor!
Magnificent interpretation of the Dizzy Gillespie classic. The trumpet player is killing it, and all the other players are boss!
Latin jazz is an unlimited emotional experience. God bless all of them. The mambo is back !
2:34 I just love it when a trumpet player can have such a bright and big sound and then just switch to a super soft and mellow sound
Jon and his name is “Jon” as well! :)
That was cool
I enjoy that
Jon Faddis... the only who inherit the electrifying gift of Dizzy.
Can't stop listening this set... Maybe one of the best nights in Tunisia ever played. Dizz should be proud... No doubt!
This got recommended for me and i am not mad at all
