'treux Bleu - Cannonball Adderley

[@obastan]

They are some Giants on Stage. 1973 the year I graduated high school. I had got a little taste of JUG back in the day and it's pleasure to see these Jazz Legends one more time.

[@andyokus5735]

Well if I ever become filthy rich even in my old age I'm going to open a network of Jazz radio stations across the country and I'm going to shove great Jazz down America's throat 24 hours a day! This is our nation's treasure given to us by beautiful brilliant Black folks. How can we let our children forget all this?!!

[@rayszymarek2920]

Jazz buffs really forgets about the Mastery of Cannonball Adderley. I have never forgot Cannonball. Lot of jazz shows on the radio and have call in requests. I always make it a point to remember Cannonball. thanks for playing this gem

[@fullmoon7192]

*@ Chris Stewart* ``````````````````````````` You've done wonderful job Chris gluing those bits and pieces together. If you didn't, it would be lost forever and guys like myself never had a chance to listen/watch to this gem. I tip my hat to you Sir.

[@Navroze]

Absolutely stunning performances... thank you for posting. Lets see more of this

[@newleaf9]

Bass and drums kept everything tight and joyful. Oh, CA and his horn were smoking throughout, awesome,

[@arthurholloway-bu4gu]

I just woke up this morning. It's 6am Chicago time.This is how u say good morning Lord! Listening to this music from heaven. .

[@thebritandtheyank3821]

This is an yet another very important video for musicians, from a time (not long ago!) when giants walked the earth. Each hornman is coming right out of the tradition, each too a direct link in the lineage of their respective instrument. So many of us feel we're having a vital "lesson" here!

[@trmoody36]

My three favorites....Just great music created by Great musicians.

[@theantiantihero]

Wow, there's a lot of talent packed on that stage! Thanks for putting this video together.

[@mauriziosarpero8114]

I love Cannonball since I started with my jazz passion never ended, at the age of 13. So I started in music study on alto, soprano and flute. Tank you, amazing Julian, master of mine!!!!! Maurizio Sarpero, Genova, Liguria, Italy.

[@andyokus5735]

I had the honor of having Cannonball's and Nat's high school band teacher for a week when I was learning Alto sax in 9th grade in Boca Raton FL. I'll never forget that week. I think he implied that I sounded like a foghorn. Needless to say I became a Jazz Pianist and bassist.

[@kentbyron7608]

Gratitude! This video is also preserving an inspirational performance by the great Kenny Clarke on the drums, and all the legends in this band. Thank you!❤🎉👏👏👏🌹

[@jobekess]

I have the album. Glad I come across this video as it's great to see the performances. Cannonball is great but I am a Gene Ammons fan. Thanks for posting.

[@phchoucri1]

To my ( not so much humble ) opinion, this belongs to the top 50 of the best jazz-jam. And I take no risk saying it ...

[@liegesaboya33]

You truly are a marvellous jazz surgeon --------------- congratulations from Brasil !

[@ericjohnson3329]

Fabalous!!

[@PabloVestory]

When Cannoball starts his solo, doesn't look at his best shape, but in a couple of beats he trascends this fisic universe and brings us, wow, real magic

[@ErikLawrenceHipmotism]

And with good reason. Cannonball is playing a borrowed horn, which he borrowed from my father, Arnie Lawrence. It was not their night to play and Cannonball's horn was in the hotel room, blocks away. He and my Pops were on the side of stage when Cannonball borrowed it (they both played King altos) and took a few measures to get accustomed to the mouthpiece, reed and horn. But one he did.... !!! I have and play that horn now. I love that this video exists. I've had the album for a long long time (before I knew it was my alto he was playing)!

[@PabloVestory]

@@ErikLawrenceHipmotism WOW! Thank you so much for the amazing aport! I think only reed players can imagine a bit what hard, almost suicidal, could be to play cold a borrowed instrument, with a different setup... out of the blue, in MONTREUX! LOL. more to Cannonball's Legend!

[@PabloVestory]

...and his tremedous musicianship! I'm remembering now a video of Duke Ellington Orchestra, in Europe in the sixties I think, and Don Byas appears as unexpected guest. Later I learnt that he was asked to play, he had not his axe and borrowed the sax from gentle Paul Gonsalves, completely different setup and all... he tried hard but, let's say it was not a very good date for Don

[@vova47]

@@ErikLawrenceHipmotism I knew your father and played with him on numerous occasions when i lived in NYC. In fact, my very first gigs in States came through Arnie and his encouragement for which I'm still grateful.

[@hipmotism]

@@vova47 He touched and influenced so many great musicians everywhere. So we are now related!

[@Jazzhog]

Cannonball, such passion ! I'm watching this video clip and I can almost feel what he's feeling. WHOA !!

[@oliverkindell7800]

You can hear the greatness!

[@RussPaladino]

I wish there was more video out there of Gene Ammons. He spent so many years in prison (a major injustice,) and he was out of the limelight for a very long time.

[@SeerTrulth]

Cannon is trying to reach here, but he's unresolved. Master in thought. Working for the new right in front of us.

[@TomCatanio]

Like watching Picasso paint; seeing his brush strokes and hearing the colors...

Jug, Cannonball, Dex and Nat and the rest of the band was fantastic. Nuff said.

[@williewashington5610]

I like this tune.

[@PabloVestory]

What a GEM! Very nice work thank you very much

[@brycewalburn3926]

I don't know how Cannonball isn't everyone's favorite saxophone player

[@joshuaklein2859]

Fair and great question... I’ll attempt... Bird and Bostic:)

[@arthurholloway-bu4gu]

I'm with you on that along with those other two that you mentioned

[@山口大輔-r6p]

Jug is very cool !!

[@deangelico]

Wonderful, groovin' from the get-go

[@archimboldic.4318]

i have this album of Ammons, is called Gene Ammons and friends at montreaux, his solo there doesnt have the first 30-40 seconds you can listen here i guess due to bad quality recording. i would also like to note that this is an ammons composition so the title should read 'treux bleu - Gene Ammons, instead of Cannonball Adderley, no hard feelings cannonball fans.

[@stevenreed6716]

Great job mate. Just found this

[@mraggrovator]

Great stuff thanks.

[@joehuang4325]

Cannonball playing with the cigarette still in hand XD

[@vinyltapelover]

Chris Stewart I don't know what you used for the edit job you did, but it was one heck of a well done effort, considering what you had to work with. Kudos and thank you very much,from a happy Cannonball fan, starting from 1960 as a teenager.

[@alberteisentraut4774]

The complete recording of the sound is available on the Prestige LP # P-10078, "Gene Ammons and Friends at Montreux".

[@albertwilliams.jr.1710]

Yeah!!! Swinging like a garden gate!!!

[@blue47er]

Here's music to treasure from a group of true giants of jazz, and especially so for within a few short years we were to lose Gene Ammons (August 1974); Cannonball Adderley (August 1975) and Hamp Hawes (May 1977).

[@jalebjaba1487]

Cannonball could play it all❤

[@zonker33]

Also see Hampton Hawes and Bob Cranshaw in this allstar line-up. Nice!

[@MrHochette]

Yesss

[@mellotronage3266]

Gotta have Nat with Cannonball. They're integral to each other.

[@kirilshtrkov5565]

Pure magic ... In live

[@jdez095]

BRUH CANNONBALL STILL HAD HIS CIGARETTE LIT WHILE HE WAS PLAYIN. This brother was beyond Saxophone Mastery.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

JDEZ09 Official: Right you are! Julian is dangerously fierce. His onslaught is as incomparably dexterous as it is lyrically beautiful. I adore and admire Nat's performance as much as I do his brother's.

[@albertbrown359]

These giants called on every spirit imaginable. Really full of da' real shit.Good,better and best.

[@vinyltapelover]

[@glasserandy]

well, I see it syncs up later, so that part's good

[@glasserandy]

Oh man that was so cool to see Ammons playing out of turn, never noticed that listening to it before, and Cannonball playing with the cigarette in his hands. All criticism hereby revoked.

[@1breedlife1]

If Cannonball is playing the Coronet, who is the Sax player in the beginning of this song? Thanks.

[@cliffordjordan3907]

+Superlife Cannonball is the alto player on the right, next to him is his brother Nat on cornet, the tenor sax player who took the first solo is Dexter Gordon, next to him is Gene Ammons.

[@Trizno]

Hilarious!!! 😂

[@SeerTrulth]

Bob on bass is Sonny Rollins' bassist. Total control Electric, but whatever.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Didn't even notice the e bass till I read your comment. Maybe the key to swinging an electric bass on a blues is to play it like Jimmy Smith plays left hand. not to try to make it work like an upright. Strange thought, but it sounds like a Smith bass groove, and it's working.

What is "nice" about that??

[@vatanenj]

Nice blowing around the 12 bar "blues" format. Everyone in his own framework. Cannonball just amazing, Dex swinging with his "quotes" Ammon almost Rock groove...

[@mikefarmer7238]

What a superb session in spite of the dreaded Rhodes piano. The reed players all had great full sounds, not the thin piping noises that many of todays players get.

[@neilloughran4437]

Rhodes is what makes it for me... so warm filling in all the frequencies...

[@mellotronage3266]

That's an identifying factor to 70's jazz. Most times when listening to jazz (especially Bebop), it's hard to tell if the performance is from the 1950's or present day... When the Rhodes is in the picture, chances are good that you know you're listening to some 1970's material. It seems to register in my brain that way, anyhow....

[@jackiejones2142]

Is Nat still with us?
