▶ Don Cherry & Herbie Hancock Bemsha Swing Live YouTube

[@bobbachelor5930]

Something infectious about Don Cherry's energy and spirit.

[@damodecomposed]

Don Cherry is seriously underrated. Masters degree in Jazz Trumpet and nobody ever talked about his playing, let alone his ability to be the front-man. I remember an old bit of wisdom I got from a teacher - he said to me "You can be a musician and you'll eat. You can be an entertainer and you'll eat. Or you could be both and you'll feast!" This was a feast indeed. Thanks for sharing!

[@youtubecommentor2211]

Don Cherry is NOT underrated lol he's considered one of the greatest jazz trumpeters in history lol

[@klaus8456]

You can just see the joy all the cats are getting from the chemistry that is formed by the leadership of Don Cherry, just look at Herbie.

[@JentschChris]

Is that Billy Higgins? Wow, wotta quartet...two parts Miles, two parts Ornette.

[@SunSound7]

That's the great Billy Higgins on drums and Ron Carter on bass. This music, is joyous, creative, relaxed, swinging, totally in the moment and SO alive. Love Always Hu Ra Kalam

[@xander9564]

Great playing and performance all around ...

[@jamescroy9464]

I think I have watched this at least 100 times. Ok, 101 😊

[@marcellomentasimonsennico5670]

Don Cherry was a real Pied Piper, with his Pocket Trumpet and his charm!

[@jerrybauer8108]

Drummers like Billy Higgins and Frankie Dunlop will make you dance to any kind of music anyway

[@chetwill]

What a fantastic clip --swinging, brilliant, and joyous!

[@RonWilsonFineArt]

'Love it when Herbie plays a segment in the Monk style.

[@AlexanderSchmidt1962]

Thanks for posting this gem. You really can dance to this tune!

[@instrumentalheadquarters7062]

Ron carter!

[@ChunkyBoots]

Ron Carter, cool as ice.

[@pedroa.cantero9449]

Hermosa esta versión de Bemsha Swing del gran Thelonious Monk. Pascal solía decir de Don Cherry que al igual de un ángel le gustaba explorar ámbitos inexplorados, sin alejarse de la raíz jazzística. Su música procura una inenarrable frescura. Bendito sea ese duende que desde mi juventud no cesa de socorrerme. Como escribiera Rilke, siempre nos queda «la demorada lealtad de una costumbre, a la que le gustamos, y permaneció, y no se fue» (La primera elegía).

[@RobertVeasquez]

[@chrislong2256]

Don cherry just read an article about him...he's great! How have I never heard of him

[@alphonsepetitboudu6552]

Il n'est jamais trop tard pour bien faire. Proverbe français. Bonne découverte de Don Cherry, le seul musicien qui ait joué avec des musiciens indiens, tibétains et des Bluesmen. un Chaman

[@gcgc5659]

Genius

[@coldman340]

Yeah !

[@oRuTRa45]

Smiling Billy on drums.

[@wendylee9779]

So cool

[@brucenicholls854]

Don Cherry was totally unique,nobody quite like him!

[@and7barton]

I played tenor sax, but doubled on pocket trumpet. It was always a surprise to people when I dragged that out of my coat pocket during a gig. Unfortunately, dentures eventually put paid to this little game.

[@lqr824]

If this were facebook I'd want to give both a thumbs-up and a little heart icon.

[@jeffstabley]

This is fantastic and masterful. But, wow, they slow down.

[@nested_King]

Well let’s just say, they ‘settle in”. 😉

[@2oonzz]

[@MrJazzistan]

That's how you honor your mentor in style.

[@TheKenShain]

Man, he still cooks. You hear him do that Miles thing? Tip of the hat not even Freddie.

[@muki2309]

Where you think miles got that thing

[@MARKSTEPHENBLUMBERG]

i believe that is Billy Higgins

[@silverangel2010]

I don't beleive it is Billy Higgins he does not look like....and I beleive it is Ron Carter on bass..

[@gavinconnolly4286]

Nah, it is definitely Billy Higgins

[@carlosbernabei636]

¡extraordinario!

[@bringupthesun8986]

Don Cherry is seriously in the throes of his smack addiction in this one

[@jaiiskii2262]

Does that matter enjoy the art

[@aaronfrank9649]

Nice!

[@thinktwice4565]

😎 don

[@gaudimassimo3214]

👍👍👍💖💖💖🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@maxdawes73]

anyone know what model trumpet he's using there?

[@SamBass1887]

I’m wondering that too!

[@maxdawes73]

I did a little bit of research and it turns out that it might actually be a pocket cornet ​@@SamBass1887

[@cdoxas]

is there a video of this whole concert?

[@tony3313]

What kind of horn is that? Very cool.

[@djtroublesome3749]

Pocket trumpet

[@TheBirdBrothers]

Cornetto

[@danieleswing1648]

4:28

[@3MUnique]

Is that little trumpet more difficult 2 play than a standard sized trumpet?

[@xander9564]

I hear they can be because of the tighter wrap -- same length of tubing as a regular trumpet but wrapped close. Some find them a little uncomfortable to hold, too. What I also heard is you have to adapt to it, play it and hold it like a pocket trumpet, not a regular trumpet and then it's fine. Also, get a really good brand -- because there are many cheap ones that aren't easy to play. Apparently, the Carol Brass pocket trumpet is an exception -- good quality but inexpensive. To be precise, though, what Don Cherry plays is a pocket cornet.

[@silverangel2010]

Anybody knows the name of this drummer?? Don Cherry is great here...!

[@doubleconsonants1059]

Billy Higgins

[@nasus4848]

Wondering who the other players - besides Herbie Hancock and Don Cherry are?

[@bass0111]

Ron Carter on bass...

[@nasus4848]

bass0111 Thanks

[@damamae950]

What is that funny little horn?

[@SalimSivaad]

It’s a “pocket trumpet” in Bb.

[@xander9564]

Besson Meha pocket cornet from the 1930s.

[@butterfacemcgillicutty]

How did he get a sound like that out of a pocket trumpet? That shouldn't be possible, horns like that are usually crap! Seriously, no joke. He had to had that custom made AND be one hell of a player.

[@xander9564]

You have to get a good one. Just before watching this video, I saw one of a guy demoing his Bach Stradivarius trumpet and his Carol Brass pocket trumpet, and they sounded pretty close.

[@zedo1973]

Ron Carter on 4:17 😱 oh my God ❤

[@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883]

I clicked on this video fast based on the thumbnail and title and am disappointed. i was hoping for Don "Grapes" Cherry the Canadian hockey coach and broadcaster.
