Dave Brubeck Trio spec. Guest Paul Desmond & Gerry Mulligan all the things you are

[@Sophia1a1]

Paul Desmond touches my soul. Thank God I discovered jazz!

[@Gruntol5]

Mulligan, Brubeck & Desmond - the heroes of my youth in the 1950's. Their records took all my pocket money. I don't regret one penny of it.

I discovered them...in early 80s..at 11. Now I own TWO BARITONES.. a Selmer super action 80...n a Jean Cartier..both with low As...n high F#..... so you could say... it's a very big part of my life

[@MrResearcher122]

You have beautiful tastes. I discovered Jazz during the 80s as a student. My best friend was from Paris, and he loved Jazz and Classical, and thanks to him, I discovered this music. It seems Jazz was loved more in Paris in the past than in my own country, England.

[@francisascone1997]

What creativity !! Desmond was just so great. He's a poet on the sax. The whole group was great.

[@edwardwalworth634]

Desmond and Mulligan and Stan Getz are instantly recognizable. I was lucky enough to see all of them perform - so long ago.

[@luizamsalgado]

The immortal version of Desmond and Mulligan on steroids? (due the richness and incredibly rich ideas that come pouring throughout). Unbelievably Good. Bravo Dave and all of you!

[@jenesuispascommecaaunature6874]

Nobody will do nothing better than Gerry & Paul in the future on that theme!! wooww brilliant!

This is when musicians had talent. But Brubeck and Desmond were truly special.

[@juliesender1560]

please beam me back to the 70's!!! those were the most amazing years ever!! these brilliant musicians are the truest example of what the soul of that time was. i feel so grateful to have had them as my formative years!!!!!!!!! bravo!!!

[@ThePmfan]

Alan Dawson on drums. Desmond's playing was like gold pouring from a cup.

[@jaasilm1]

I couldn't agree more; a superb analogy 'like gold pouring from a cup'. He's always fantastic, despite the fact that he has the looks of a banking exec. What a fantastic technique and delicate touch, always the epitome of taste. Of course, everyone in All the things you are, here, is great. I also find the interplay of Mulligan and Desmond magically complimentary at every step during fugue ensemble work. Bach is in there somewhere, especially prominent in the fantastic Mulligan/Brubeck/Desmond fugues that end the piece. Sheer magic!!! I can now die in peace! Joe S-M

[@carnivalwrestler]

Love all these guys, used to have many of Brubeck's Quartet albums (w/ Wright, Desmond and Morello) and I used to crank up the stereo after class in high school and try to keep up w/Morello on my drum set, LOL, but listening to Gerry Mulligan just stuns me. The way he does those runs makes it sound like a flamenco guitar transcription for baritone sax. Amazing technique. Thanks for posting this gem. Liked and Favorited.

[@Spudguitar]

The coolest thing about Paul Desmond's playing (besides his tone, which is often flute-like!) is that he uses this concept: he will take a short idea or motif, and then repeat it, keeping the rhythm the same, but changing the notes to fit the new chords of the tune as they arise. One of the ways that this concept can be used is to create tension that is finally released when the soloist stops using that motif (tho this is not what Desmond does here--he creates a momentary tension, but then steps back into his flow of ideas). You can also hear this "repeated motif" concept at 1:24 to 1:38, and quite prominently at 1:54 to 2:03, as he twists and turns that motif. Once you know what this concept sounds like, you will be hearing it in lots of his solos. Happy hunting!

[@TomasMikaX]

That concept is called a sequence.

[@occasm]

Dude thank you for explaining this and I'm not a musician in any sense..absolutely no knowledge but I have a deep love and appreciation for jazz as I equate to the visual art which I am a practitioner of..and though I've heard Desmond a million times before and LOVE his soloing I never knew this. I think I kind of understand because that repetition thing and release you talk about was always a cool thing that I sort of liked but never really was aware of it until now!

[@محمدامینکمیجانی]

Thank's for the Explain.

Amazing performance. Thank you for posting this. For the record I believe that's Jack Six on bass and Alan Dawson on drums.

[@danielgefter5112]

Paul Desmond - one word. BRAVO.

[@ardentearth3184]

I love how Paul’s solo builds on this one. Alan the drummer does a great job of driving things along too.

[@touaregkc]

The interplay between Gerry and Paul is like a barock fuge, with the bariton playing the left hand, alto the right hand. This is exactly the right song to showcase their ability of chamber music playing. Genial.

[@Mrphilharmonic]

Baroque!

[@elcolordeljazz]

El diálogo de saxofones entre Gerry y Desmond es toda una obra de arte.

[@GeneTrujillo]

I am not so sure about some of the fashion choices on this one but the musicality is off the charts! I can't get enough of listening to Paul Desmond's tone.

[@Tallinheels]

The 70s were the nadir of men’s fashion. I was lucky enough to be at Berkeley in the late 50s and loved going across the bridge tonSFvand seeing him live, along with Ahmad Jamal and the MJQ and many others. Hair was short and I think I wore Madras Giant shirts and chinos with Bass Weejuns and still got in.

[@HollyKC]

great great performance. I repeat and repeat this. Somehow, this one got all the elements there- team work, beautiful rhythm, talents, pure joy from the musicians.

[@jenesuispascommecaaunature6874]

Paul sax., a cool style as usual, effortless, great sounds, and in the rythm of perfect swing...Great applause, standing ovation!

[@jacoblynch817]

Eyes closed.. in the pocket. It’s bittersweet how such a unique and beautiful style of music has faded over time. I would give anything to have been around to see these guys in their prime. What a time it must’ve been to be alive! Thanks for this video it made my day

[@JamieTateJamieTate]

Paul Desmond's tone is unlike anyone else. Saxophones can create a horrible honk but Paul made it sing with such a beautiful tone. Thanks for posting this.

[@jonezzjazz]

Nice chemistry between GM & PD, w/solid rhythm of DB et al. ,-- blending & counterpoint & drive!

[@peterstraub3582]

This has to be one of the greatest Paul Desmond solos of all time--he starts swinging harder and harder, he plays louder, with real aggression but also real joy. And Ilove Brubeck's perfect comping behind him.

[@peterstraub3582]

Eight years later, I still feel the same way about this astonishing solo.

+Nat Simpkins when/where did you play with him???

[@retrorex]

+Nat Simpkins Dawson was the best drummer Brubeck ever worked with, in my opinion, even better than Joe Morello. Alan swung just as much, but was much looser.

[@atombomb31458]

retrorex i think morello and dawson created different sounds/music in collaboration with dave.im not sure if one or the other was better.

[@erdwest]

Desmonds style alone could have gotten tiring but as is often the case the group creates more than the sum! Loved them all and miss them. Never thought of Joe Morello or Shelly Manne either as "showy" at all.

[@zoricamaksimovic4429]

Nat Simpkins Lucky you

[@afonsosousa2684]

Desmond quotes "Isn't it Romantic" right at the beginning of his solo, using a motif laid out by Mulligan. Nice piece of interplay!

[@SirWinstonBeech]

As a bari player I’ve always gone for a rougher sound, in part because that’s what comes out of my Bobby Dukoff D8 and Yanagisawa B990... perhaps the best investment of my life. While the Harley Davidson sound has its place, I’ve always been envious of the beautiful tones of Mulligan and Desmond. With Stan Getz taking the tenor role... three unique and wonderful musicians from another time. I always get a kick out of Paul’s shoulder wiggles when he plays, almost reminds me of Petula Clark... lol. This is an amazing track and quality is almost surreal for something 50 years ago. Saved to my faves. Maybe I should find me an older rubber bari piece and try and tone down my Yani. And relax. I have a vise grip embouchure I inherited from my dad - a classical clarinetist. I can’t get anything above a high C or D out of my bari with a closed tip... that’s why I went with the Dukoff as a virtual beginner. I’ve become as dependent on my gear as Gerry. Although not as well known......

[@osmarferreira9866]

Excepcional apresentação em Newport. Todos excelentes músicos.

[@jimbrown1559]

Bach, Prez, Desmond, Mulligan, Barry Harris -- the great musical poets of their respective generations! I feel so lucky to have heard the last three in person, to have Prez's recordings, and to have grown up listening to Bach.

Why doesn’t this track show up on the set list or album that I find for Newport jazz fest 1971? I’m trying to find an album with this live take.
