Joe....What a musician...Dave Brubeck - such warm, great person.......... Eugene Wright - Respect!

[@jazz4asahel]

Eugene Wright just kept playing with supreme confidence and energy anything and everything that Brubeck put out there. Overlooked, underappreciated. A great bassist no longer with us.

[@xoen6]

Yes, same thought, you are right.

[@ml244716]

Wright was influential.

[@grantkoeller8911]

Joe was one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time!

[@boomerguy9935]

My favorite. Period.

[@sixtieskid062]

No argument here.

[@Scottygthreethousand]

Joe Morello was on another level.

[@hebertperezgarcia1262]

FABULOUS JOE MORELLO'S SOLOS!!!! BRAVO!!! PAUL DESMOND IN GREAT FORM!!! Hebert Perez Garcia / Julianadorp / The Netherlands

[@papa2thdoc]

I got Joe's autograph after a concert. Sweat was soaked through his suitcoat.

[@xoen6]

Hard work...idd.

[@kyserbonaparte]

Gene Wright is a monster. Wow!

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Much as I love Joe Morello's soloing I really love it when he and Eugene Wright are interlocking on the second piece to the point where the piano is almost subliminal.

[@fabioernestotagetti5822]

I love Morello overflowing invention, he never repeats himself...something new all the time, and what about Eugene Wright, a giant with giants

[@hirschowitz1]

This gorgeous music is saving my life on this lousy morning in Midtown Manhattan..... thank you so much for this...... Miss Jenny

[@williamdavis7432]

Must be like panning for gold, & suddenly finding (as here) a gorgeous nugget.

[@cheri238]

This truly special seeing these legendary jazz artists play together. Thank you. ❤️

[@corvavw6447]

Ik hoorde dit op adolescenten leeftijd, was meteen volwassenen. Wat een muziek en muzikanten. Is daarna nooit meer uit mijn beleving geweest. Wat mooi.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

I never got into Brubeck outside of Take 5, or Morello, but I now see Morello was extremely adept in doing all the little things. He was solid as a rock and could swing hard while remaining solid.

[@GH-oi2jf]

Morello had musicality. He wasn’t just into keeping time and showing off, although he could do both. He was making music.

[@acousticos]

This is true..🔥

[@vondahe]

I really appreciate Desmond's "minmalistic" sax. Many sax players blare out a vulgar and unsofisticated sound but this is clean and precise. It's interesting to observe their faces while playing. Wright plays with such ease and elegance you would think he'd never done anything else. Morello is deep inside the music, while maestro himself seems to concentrate a lot.

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Joe Morello was just fabulous.

[@larryboyes7276]

He was better than fabulous. I usually listen( watch) a small part of drum solos, but with JM I listen to the end......wishing it wasn't the end.

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Yes, same here.

[@rickviehdorfer4755]

Magnificent. Morello was amazing. Listen to how Desmond floats over the rhythm section. Breathtakingly gorgeous.

[@JonHop1]

Cassandra is an absolute GEM of a song.. dear lord.. I love how they switch time and the bass and drums are incredible. Obviously Dave and Paul's additions go without saying and are crucial to the piece, but dear lord is it beautiful. It just swings so hard and the groove is LOVELY!.

[@majkizbajjki5505]

Thx for this movie ✌️

[@polara01]

I'm a drummer so you know why I came here but with this particular concert I really have come to appreciate every member of the band they were all special and unique in their own way and for some reason Paul Desmond solo work has a very special feel to it it's very soft and passionate and it's just mesmerizing and of course Joe's unique solo this go around was also special and showed the incredible technique regarding his rudiments but it wasn't just an exercise he made it all musical which is the unique thing about Morello but I'm probably preaching to the choir in this thread lol. Peace, Bob

[@joecaroselli5858]

Right about at 10:10, we observe a man who demonstrates his being the Renoir, Monet, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh of the drums!!! This is a longer solo than usual, but it is astounding on so many levels! I remember telling Joe just two years before he passed away, that most kids played Ludwig Drums because of Ringo, but I played Ludwig because of HIM!!! Don't get me wrong, I liked Ringo for other reasons back then, but Morello's touch was just magnificent.

[@richardstefani6674]

Ringo near a 101 drummer level mentioned in the same sentence with Morrelo is truly an insult to Joe. Joe is in the very top tier with numerous other greats. Lots of great "skilled" rock drummers out there, but Ringo is not one of them. Ringo never did anything wrong, but he has never indicated that he could do anything hard.

[@boomerguy9935]

At 10:00, Joe starts the solo which is purely musical. Joe had the wonderful ability (Papa Jo Jones also did this.) to start a conversation with the drums without making it loud and abrasive. It stays musical all the way through without sounding like he has to be fast, loud, or anything else. Joe was very secure in his ability and played like he was all alone and enjoying the moment. How could anyone not like this?

[@pegrueneis]

yes..thats Morello: telling a story

[@rmp608]

Perfect sounding drums!!

[@matthewpaluch777]

Ludwig Drum Company 1728n. Damen Ave. Chicago, IL. USA

[@roybeckerman9253]

It’s a shame Ludwig letting Joe go to DW later in his career. Maybe should have done more to keep him. These are beautifully tuned....just a 4 piece kit.

[@nicolasfagel6077]

The solos Paul Desmond played in Cassandra and Koto Song are quite special. Very lyrical, and very nice.

[@roybeckerman9253]

Love these 4 piece kit drum solos...no need for the big kits.

[@hebertperezgarcia1262]

BRAVO !! A BIG LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET 1965 IN PARIS!!! _ Hebert Perez Garcia / Julianadorp / The Netherlands

[@nancymccracken3663]

Hi. I am glad to join the club.

[@roybeckerman9253]

What snare did Joe use here. Beautifully tuned drums. DW must have made him a better offer, later in his career. Love solos just using a 4 piece kit....and not a 14 piece kit.

[@thecrippledrummer]

A 5x14 Supraphonic

[@roybeckerman9253]

Drumuitar Thanks...no wonder it’s sounds great.

[@coreyg4229]

Joe used the super sensitive in the 50s and the supraphonic in the 60s. Later in his Ludwig years he played a black beauty.

Нет слов и точка. Ничего подобного не видел и не слышал. У Джо такая интелегентная,скромная внешность,но в нутри столько темперамента,сразу видно из южных кровей,гены дают о себе знать, огонь

[@ytubepuppy]

Best left hand ever.

[@DavidMScott-cs8pp]

Yes his left hand seems to be independent.. Joe credited it to all those years as a child Violin Protege. He and Philly Joe made their kits weave a story.

[@ronward3949]

Bound to Impress Me, I would Take all Four!

[@bobweber4140]

Greatness

[@jodyjm13]

I heard someone shouting a request before "Koto Song", which caused Brubeck to facetiously reply that then the crowd would never leave, but I can't make out the title of the request. Any suggestions?

[@Johnnycdrums]

Joe !

[@Ranger1216]

So thematic, so texturalized….every few measures takes you to a different place, different feel and mood… so listenable…

[@johnwhite2576]

Joe Morello- SOOOO under rated

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

He was NEEEEEVVVVEEERRRR underrated.

[@christophsiegrist3066]

Hope you are doing okay!

[@pegrueneis]

telling a story....

[@geoffnelson4777]

JM might have stayed with Ludwig into '98 and switched to DW the following year or sometime in '98...his long friendship with Robert Zildjian saw JM playing Sabian possibly as early as '79. Wonder if he's on an 18 Paiste ride here instead of a 20.

[@thecrippledrummer]

That’s a 20”. He might have played Sabian at times unofficially earlier but he was still a Paiste endorser throughout the majority of the 90s.

[@ronward3949]

Quite Right, Paris, Out and About, Boss Please!

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

Imagine if he had glasses that fit.

[@xoen6]

:D Great comment!

[@ronward3949]

You wonder DO they really need to Be That good, No Question!

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

That's an interesting way of looking at it.

[@Chao-j8r]

スネアのみのソロは勉強になりました、皆さんシンバルやトムに走りますがこのソロはバディリッチよりシンプルで理解させるドラミングは見事と思います。

[@JonHop1]

How does all that Kanji say so little in English? 😆.. maybe my Google translate isn't working properly

[@jorgetoro5645]

Soul ,artistry craftmanship is the only tecnology,either you have or you dont...what a solo AND a the whole sounds of these jazzmasters

[@coreyg4229]

I don’t think Someday My Prince Will Come is in the video

[@thecrippledrummer]

You’re right. The text file I had with this video was incorrect and I forgot to change it. Thanks

[@coreyg4229]

If you look at the credits at the end of the video it says they played someday my prince will come. Right after Joe’s solo the video seems to cut out for a second and goes into Koto song I think that cut is where they played Someday my prince will come. But I could be wrong :)

[@thecrippledrummer]

Corey G yeah. My copy must have been edited at some point. Maybe the original source tape had a glitch and it had to be cut out.

[@petersumner7367]

The double bass player has a pretty thankless job!

[@josecortesrolembergfilho6783]

CEUX QUI N 'AIMENT PAS LA MUSIQUE, SONT DES MALADES MENTAUX, QUE MÉRITENT, NOTRE COMPASSION ET SOINS. JUSQU'A QUAND???

[@roybeckerman9253]

Too many head shots…more playing shots needed… Cameraman not great..

[@jameswaddell3348]

A little after the 10 minute mark, something happened to Eugene's Bass. I am not sure if he broke a string or one of the strings came loose at the bottom where it is threaded in?? Weird how he picks up the Bass and Brubeack comes to help him out, walking off out of the frame.

[@jazz4asahel]

Yes, it is weird. Can't tell what happened. It seems as though Brubeck was readying to come back in and it was decided to abort. It is as though something went musically wrong rather than there being an equipment failure. When Morello is finished, Brubeck and Wright reappear and Brubeck announces his admission "There is something else going on." I would almost have to say that there was somehow conceivably a rift between Morello and Wright in which Brubeck intervened when he "carried" Wright and bass off stage. Again, I don't think it was an equipment failure, but perhaps a personnel problem, as unbelievable as that would seem. Wright was always so solid that he became virtually unheard, unacknowledged, taken for granted. Yet he was a solid "worker" doing a splendid job whatever the requirements. Would be interesting to read others' takes on this.

[@xoen6]

Very interesting comment, @@jazz4asahel I think, that it was planned, they just let Joe to..play :D
