Eastwood After Hours Live at Carnegie Hall - Lester Leaps In

[@thomasprete-w5i]

I took my Dad to see this show as a "Father's Day Present"...It was a Grand Slam!...The incomparable talent on that stage that evening was not to be believed!...I know Dad was extremely satisfied...I bought the DVD, and the accompanying CD companion to it a few months later...It was so good somebody clipped it from me...Oh Well. I was there, and I'm a better person for it today...Thanks Clint, and I miss you Dad because you pointed me into the right direction when it came to this extraordinary music!

[@PatrickBartleyMusic]

Watching Flip play here makes me so happy. So much knowledge, experience, language from a bygone time. What an incredible experience all of them must have had up there with him. And Maestro Moody!! Man, just playing beautifully... Got to meet him a few times while I was in school. Super grateful for him and his lessons to all of us.

[@kabalayouri419]

Nobody talks about Charles McPherson but this dude is BEBOP !!

[@Unixilandia]

I'm very saddened by the passing of the Great Roy Hargrove. RIP, Your Name, & Music Lives 4 Ever!!!

[@misterchef511]

I'm not sure if anyone who's complaining about Flip's playing is also accounting for the fact that he's swinging. You normally play ahead or behind the beat. Notice how the drummer does rim hits, it gives it more of a swing feel. Anyone who says he can't keep up with Carter or Redman needs to understand that any good improviser has a style that's generally unique to them, and his is awesome, to say the least.

[@lithoneyproductions]

Whoever that alto player was - he’s amazing af

[@raphyelrosby]

James Carter shredded that bridge like it was nothin....damn!!!!!

[@i_am_jazz]

Flip Philips educating the rest. He was doing JATP with Prez and all those jazz greats before some of these guys where even born. A truly under-rated player.

[@bigeman25]

Hell, I can't find fault with any of these virtuosos. They all sounded magnificent and I thank them all.

[@khalidsharif]

RIP Roy Hargrove

[@stuartvarden5227]

The pianist is Barry Harris.

[@Milestonemonger]

Clint Eastwood turned me on to jazz 🎶🎷🎵🎺🥁🎺

[@georgesember9069]

Awesome is too understated a word for this.

[@ccauffma]

James Carter for the win.

[@davenegrete]

Killin, Charles

[@Guitfiddlejase]

How cool is this????I wonder what Pres would have thought of this?

[@MrSaxMyJazz]

Nice group of musicians, I like all there solos.

[@archimboldic.4318]

i see frank wess, behind the pack i wish he played here, always loved that album he recorded with jug and johnny smith

[@aaronkranzler4830]

James carter kills on that bridge

[@MyStippi]

alle traumhaft.danke. danke euer stippi.

[@cuhaharucas3008]

It's all good man. I see where you're comin from. :)

[@amv4m1]

Flip is a swing player, if you want to put a category on it. For an older guy, he is blowing his ass off. To compare him to Carter or Redman is apples and oranges.

[@Usefulmusic]

Mind blowing.

[@loveyouall66]

FLIP PHILLIPS: NICE AND EASY

[@Robthehorror]

Jeez Flip Phillips blew all the other soloists out the water!

[@fanfurizoltan]

Mondiali, de cei mai bun,i ai lumi! nr.1,tuti.

[@eartha360]

Love it :-)

[@n.girigorie6241]

1.45 is James Moody

[@Artistimberlake]

rip roy!

[@kabalayouri419]

RIP Barry Harris 🙏🏾

[@greenockcut]

All great and virtuosic but Roy and Flip tell stories.

[@Artistimberlake]

did anybody catch what roy did when james carter was soloing lol

[@MansaThaGreat]

I caught it lol

[@Thundermonkeyms]

Made it my end-of-school-year goal to transcribe the saxophone solos, does anyone have any suggestions for how to get through that James Carter insanity in his second chorus? Other than slowing it down of course.

[@hardyblues2194]

+Thundermonkeyms Could you transcribe it? I think there is no other way than slowing down unless you are a genius...

[@eflatguy]

Wow.

[@hincapiej4]

@CliftonMcCallMusic Actually, he's playing behind the tempo.. some people play ahead of beat, on the beat or behind. This is a player who is into the behind the beat type of playing.. sorta like Hank Mobley...but make no mistake about it.. he's killin it. The reason the drummer was doing rim shots...was to give it that extra feel of swing.. and it was def swingin both redman and flip were killin it.

[@KeithLovingOfficial]

Yeah baby

[@craigmcgorry9426]

At about 7:43, the tenor player (not sure who he is) quotes Sonny Rollin's "Pent-Up House!"

[@m4x358]

Flip Phillips!

[@jacksontru4346]

And that's Frank Wess!!!!

[@karelkohout]

Am I right and the saxophonist at 5:40 was 8 bars before he was supposed to? Was he trying to play the beginning of the bridge (D7) instead of Bb? Or was it on purpose?

[@LinRountreemusic]

He was actually starting the bridge then caught himself. the hits the cats were doing before his solo most likely threw him of…but he played it of then played his ass off…(prob angry about being off earlier) 🔥🔥

[@AwaTu]

@indaplace2b Yeah, you're right -Fault the sound guy, who should've brought Flip up in the mix....

[@TheTopcat1441]

I think the problen here is the monitoring system. The players can clearly play in time, but I don't think some are hearing the rhythm section on stage well enough. Sound engineer couldn't keep up.

[@Live4Trumpet25]

Is that Jon Faddis conducting?

[@artherladett442]

Looks it. Also of the genus Genius

[@Stanwetering]

mr James Moody

[@carlpowell0]

dude at 5:40 was dope. The screech at the end sounds sick

[@jiyujizai]

🌸😃💙🌱

[@hincapiej4]

@CliftonMcCallMusic alright lemme take another listen. i only heard the beginning of his solo and then i started typing and stopped listening lol

[@BinhoBatista]

Jorge Aragão no Sax Alto rs

[@ricominjarez214]

3:03 !!!! Was that a snippet of Delphino Plaza theme?¡?!

[@andreas196404]

I guess it's a Miles Davis lick on Oleo

[@aaronkranzler4830]

Poor Flip Phillips has to follow up whatever the fuck james carter just squawked outta his horn

[@Thundermonkeyms]

Dude, Flip destroyed it up there! As did James Carter and the rest of them. Different styles, though, yeah.

[@henryfu784]

4:57

[@hincapiej4]

@CliftonMcCallMusic Ya I don't hear what you mean, sounds fine to me, like the drummer is only changing gears if you know what i mean. Some the stuff flip plays is kinda wierd, but most of it was fine. Some spots did make me go huh? but I'm just writing it off as hes old man!

[@三桝範康]

粋な　Eastwood　goodなポジション

[@Artistimberlake]

who ever solos at 1:45 killed everybody

[@kabalayouri419]

James moody a legend !!

[@MyStippi]

stippi meint super gang

[@gjbsaxman94]

nah, his playing just comes from his mood and overall feelings rather than "perfect lines"

[@giorgioacccc]

@dcoolio think so? :D

[@michaelabbo2779]

Roy quoting miles on oleo

[@ecartruzac1544]

Well, that depends on your definition of a 'showoff.' What are your thoughts on this?

[@kabalayouri419]

Who is the bass player ??

[@cooldude2847]

Can't get a good look but my guess is Peter Washington.

[@tanitodoc]

I think that probably Flip has never been a great bopper, but he had his story to tell. He was very old in this video, and he probably didn't hear very well (in fact he didn't played on time the first bars, and the rhythm section changed their way of playing to help him). In my opinion "to swing" and "to bop" is not the same thing, so he didn't play in a real bebop style, but he could swing. Sorry for my english, and best regards from Italy

[@rockyfurlan]

who is the piano player?

[@eflatguy]

Looks like Barry Harris

[@TheFanusik]

Flip Phillips was certainly more on point than James Carter. He seems inspired here.

[@djjjamin]

He's not bopping because he's not playing bop, he's playing lester leaps in. Bop players just have a tendency to turn everything style of jazz into bop. That's not his style, and I think he blew a kickass solo.

[@dcoolio]

Carter's kind of a showoff isn't he?

[@dcoolio]

I guess i'm basing my opinion of him purely from assumptions made when I see his demeanor and "attitude" while he plays. It's all unfounded assumption, of course.

[@joemcgarrity8372]

Jesus Christ what a mess.

[@connorfirth857]

How so? I mean I know some of the saxes slipped up when soloing and didn’t know the cue for when to stop. But these guys are just here jamming. And it overall sounded great.

[@Rubetube1st]

No matter how much experience flip has, he cannot possibly keep up with these cats. I'm sorry down to my personal opinion flip just wasn't on point like James Carter, Redman or Hargrove and they haven't been in the industry for as long. You need to have innate swing to play bebop, Flip just hasn't got, still a very good saxophonist though, but he can't bop.
