1982 CHICK COREA, ROY HAYNES, MIROSLAV VITOUS at the White House

Here is another treasure from the CRATES, i.e., dusty boxes of Betamax videotapes (some unlabeled) that were recorded from television broadcasts when Beta was the video standard and VHS had not yet emerged as a competitor.
This was a PBS television broadcast of a December 4, 1982 jazz concert at the White House during Ronald Reagan's presidency. Later in the concert this trio is joined by Dizzy Gillespie & Jon Faddis on trumpet, Stan Getz on tenor saxophone, Diane Schur on vocals and Itzhak Perlman on violin. Watch it here: • 1982 DIZZY GILLESPIE, ...
In this clip we have Chick Corea on piano, Miroslav Vitous on bass and Roy Haynes on drums performing a seamless medley of three songs - a improvised segment followed by "Autumn Leaves" ( 2:20 ) and then Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-a-ning" ( 6:35 ).
For this drummer's 85th birthday celebration in New York City in
2010 the world-famous Blue Note club had Chick Corea as the special Saturday night guest, i.e, 28 years after the video you're watching. Roy Haynes was as sprightly as ever, dapper, and still on top of his game in every way. LONG LIVE ROY HAYNES !

R.I.P. Chick Corea Feb. 9th 2021. I had to the pleasure of shaking his hand. Nice of Roy Haynes to drop the strainer for Miroslav's solo. ;-) My life and soul has been enriched - Thank you Chick -forever.

[@Unmoved12345]

What a weird contrast between this cutting-edge jazz, the formal setting, and the stiff, upper-crust audience. Needless to say, the music was brilliant.

[@nameskhar1510]

DIG IT ...

[@chrisjones2412]

Wow!! Saw Roy in NYC when he was 82 and not only did he play great and had lots of energy...he was the life of the party!!!I went back stage and he was entertaining everyone with jokes and loud merrymaking. I think hes a cyborg from another planet. Not human.for sure. We should pay him ,much more homage.

[@mwongozirudi9468]

Roy Haynes is starting to seem like Forrest Gump. Here he is with Chick and Miroslav in the 80s. Go back to the 60s and these he is at Newport with Coltrane playing My Favorite Things. Go back to the be-bop days and there he is with the be-boppers. Fast forward to the 2000s and here he is playing concerts and still killin it.

[@paxwallace8324]

I got to hang a bit around Bob Mosses and he told me a story from his younger days he'd go to listen to a session in NYC where Roy Haynes and Buddy Rich would take turns on the same set. So while Rich was amazing Haynes was uncanny organic hip unexpected the future.

[@UPdan]

Wish he still used his mini Musser Timpani and tambourine.

[@curiousnomad]

Saw this trio at the Vanguard in the early eighties ( a rare “ reunion “ of the recording). It was like 5 degrees out, and we waited in line for an hour to get great seats. Obviously, one of the most incredible shows I’ve ever heard.

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Ah... the "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" trio. Wish they had recorded more than three albums together. Love this combination.

[@geezerdombroadcast]

Little did I know when I was listening to his beautiful music as a young man, playing it on my radio show Chick use to live right down the road from me. Could have met him and payed homage. Never thought the time would pass so quickly. Never thought we would lose him so soon. Far as I'm concerned 79 isn't squat. He should have stayed around. We need him. What a lovely man, genius musician.

[@scotty6124]

Playing live improv to George Bush is one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

[@richm3158]

What a great group. Took alot of chutzpah for them to refuese to compromise and stretch out the way they did at this venue. Interesting that Miroslav got a round of applause after his 'Autumn Leaves' solo.

[@TheMASDrummer]

There should be a statue somewhere of this exact trio as they were set up here.

[@jonathanwyble4227]

There is wonderful musical as well as intercultural harmony here. Musicians from diverse heritages come together to collaborate in the highest and most creative way. They are all absolutely phenomenal individually but they also possess fantastic cohesiveness and stylistic synergy as a trio.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

All time favorite trio live albums Cream live at the Filmore...and Chick. Corea. M.Vitous Roy Haynes at the White 🏠...tough crowd but an incredible trio.This best performance live is on the ECM label live in Europe..great piece, recording , song list.!!! RIP Chick.

Chick's chorus starting at 3:46 is awesome. Have to transcribe :) :) :(

Who on that White House staff was hip enough to understand what a profound trio these 3 were?

[@morbidmanmusic]

Exactly...youmdont know. So....

I know the White House has seen many different kinds of acts over the years, but the fully improvised intro here MUST have blown some minds.

Reid Whitton George Bush Sr. As director of CIA. I read a handbook written by Allende about free health care in Chile. It was very positive. It was at a residence where Rev. Tutu of S. Africa stayed while here in Detroit. These people were humanitarians. Sure lets call Archbishop Romero a commie so we can silence his message. What do we have now in Central America, with Costa Rica being a exception......education is liberating when keeping a open mind.

Not me tbh. Alot of modern jazz drummers dont do the traditional chick on 2 n 4 I think roy plays alot of "broken time" feel and its almost linear at times.

is it just me or is ths sound panned to the right?

Yeah... most of the audience are right-wingers. ( Ha Ha )

[@JerryAttric42]

i like Chick's playful nature that has not changed over the years. but i wonder if it's a good idea to totally confused this bunch of stuffed shirts right off the bat with "total improvisation" with no structure. at least he didn't play down to the audience.

[@trevorbarre5616]

Simplifying it for the GOP straights.

[@morbidmanmusic]

Show us where?! You're wrong.

[@jamesmusic110757]

Well he could have started with a more recognizable tune to get the audience interested.... as it were, the dissonant opening number probably turned most of them off. He didn't do much to forward the music at this juncture.

I think they deserve credit for staying true to who they are in that situation instead of compromising to make people more comfortable.
