I was at this festival and saw this set. I met Mingus the next day at an sidewalk cafe across from the train station. He asked me where I was from and when I told him Vermont, he said wryly, "I think I know where that is." He was smoking a cigar. His hands were massive.
I saw Mingus live twice, in the early and mid-Seventies. He had an aura about him, like he was 50 feet tall, a force of nature. On one of the gigs his long-time drummer, Danny Richmond, was sick and absent. Mingus held the band together with the rhythm and beat from that bass like it was an unstoppable steam locomotive. Breathtaking.
I saw th Mingus big band at the Village Vanguard twice. Super exciting charts and some great soloists- Walter Norris. Lonnie Hillyer and Bobby Jones to name a few. Between Thad's band and Mingus just some exciting times to hear jazz.
Lengendary! - if mystical, even. A truly sublime bandstand of masterclass improvisational artistry. And, Milligan's kaleidoscopic range of facial expressions easily conjure a precious utopic one moment in time. We're extremely obligatory to technology that allows constant visual-audio playback! Undoubtedly, Mingus would be proud of this lineup special; and with Mitchell's socially captivating lyric their collaboration is almost etched in Jazz Folklore.
The pianist is Don Pullen, a frequent collaborator with tenor saxophonist George Adams. The sound mixer seems to have been asleep, missing Walrath in the opening ensemble. Benny Bailey, Mulligan, Pullen, and, of course, Mingus are that standouts. Great to see video of Mingus stalwart Danny Richmond.
This is the first tune I learned to read music with, circa 1981. I first learned it on piano from a Fake Book. Decades later, I have learned to play it on harmonicas, on both diatonic and chromatic harps. My unrequited love number one, Joni Mitchell, wrote lovely lyrics for this tune. This is the ultimate "moody ballad". I practice it every day, always making new solos. I'm amused that some think this a difficult tune to play.
Fico aqui pensando no que o Mulligan deve ter pensado ao ouvir o solo do Benny: "faz isso comigo não véi, assim você me faz chorar". Solo maravilhoso de lindo.
Maria Muldaur played the set just before his. Her band was supposed to play the first weekend of the festival but their equipment got lost in transit. So they fit the band in on the last night, Sunday, July 20. The crowd was hardcore jazz enthusiasts. The entire audience starting loudly booing. They turned up the house lights. It was like a bathroom break. I was embarrassed for her and her band. She was crying. Her guitar player was cursing the crowd.
esse é o melhor solo de trompete da história da música em todos os tempos e locais, incluindo hipotéticos outros planetas com seres mais evoluídos também fazendo música.
Eu concordo plenissíssimamente com você, e que absurdo de técnica, eu quase chamei palavrão de tanto orgulho ouvindo esse solo, pelo amor de Deus. Vontade de tá lá junto kkkkk
Great tune, great performance, but does anyone know what key it was originally in? The "Ah Um" version is in Eb, this one is in E, and I've got a lead sheet that says it's in F.
original one is in Eb, the uploader of the video might have pitch shifted this one before the upload. Never heard anyone play in a diferent key, unless it was a singer!
Dem Porkin' de Pie.. Oh Me Oh My! Me try to ask dem why? But dem all too high .. dem reachin' out to de sky.. dem wanna fly.. de mood make one sigh.. time to say Goodbye...

My son asked me to take him to visit the Charles Mingus memorial in Nogales, Az… so we did that today.
@God yes he does, especially for a youngster at 23

Está banda la vi en vivo en 1977 en Buenos Aires !!!!! SUBLIME !!!!
Gerry Mulligan digging his bandmate's solo..Love this version.
Yeah. It reflects so many wonderful qualities of the man and the genre.
Charles Mingus RIP!! You and Ray Brown and Paul Chambers are the reason i play bass!! This song is beautiful and Incredibly sad 😢, heartbreaking💔.
Mingus EVER has the best texture sounds in jazz.
Bailey's out of this world, incredible everything here
This is great. I really love Benny Bailey, and his work on the trumpet.
Charles Minus died in Mexico I love his music
Love to see Gerry Mulligan in a good mood !

That English degree finally paying off?
Yes exactly, don't forget Joni's contributions!
Gerry Mulligan all blissed out

Oh my GAWD!

I’m on love again 🥰
Eu queria ser o Gerry Mulligan.
AWESOME! I haven't heard it before! Just Joni, Jaco, Pat, Michael & Lyle version. What to do now? Haeven is endless: both versions are the best.
Rashad Roland Kirk too ✨
umm….jeff beck???
Prez was in the room...
God I Heaven, hollowed be Thy Name: I give thanks for such a tribute to the Holiness. Such a tribute to love and connection.
starts at 1:38
E CooL!!!
Too cool for school
Bill Evans, such an original. Nobody played like him. Anyone know who the bass player is?
6:01 OMG
super
una muy buen tributo to Lester Young
An ad in the middle? That is blasphemy!!! And it is for worship piano! WTH?
@rowanhudsonmusic
Time/travel has been "invented". It's called reverie.
Detroit Jazz313 on TH-cam
did they really play it in the key of e? or did smth go wrong with the tape speed?
Joe Doblhofer trumpet fingerings seem to match up to what they would be in concert e so they played it that way
You can also see Mingus bowing the e string for the last note
I don’t blame them, it’s way more comfortable and just handy.
i was surprised too when Flowers for a Lady was played in natural E. he was that kind of bandleader ... !
e

@@Misterg1997 nope. Unless the bass is tuned a semi low its in e.
