[@lewikono2781]

I come back here time and time again just to listen to jimmy smith's intro to that first peice. He just looks like he's having so much fun. And you can tell it's all improvised by how the rest of the band don't know if they should come in or not. Great

[@lynnshowalter1842]

Such artistry, such talent, all gone now, such will never come this way again.

[@MrNewktrane]

Man, when giants walked the earth. What a opening lineup to kick things off with -JOS, Kenny Burrell, and dream horn front line of Clark Terry, Art Farmer, the homeboy James Moody, & flying home from the swing era & beyond: Mr. Illinois Jacquet. Cannon ball & his always underrated brother Nat delivering & exploring their jazz funk into the early 70s with help from the next generation of groove in the form of young George Duke.

Dave Brubeck definitely wins the funky pants special award. He also seems to have a lot of fun. Also love the combo with Paul Desmond who looks like no fun at all. What a treat.

Jimmy Smith, Cannonball Adderley, Charlie Mingus - all that soul and beauty. Nothing like it! 💙

And Brubeck! That guy changed Jazz!

27:45 Desmond Classic beautiful lick and In a blues. All the amazing players ive ever heard. Flashy bluesy super out there highly skilled virtuoso whatever. At 35yrs old I’m just now realizing how much more pleasing it is to hear Desmond play than most anyone out there

Awesome bit of history. Love to see the legends. My first time seeing George Duke getting it on with the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. The Rhodes is a great instrument in his hands!!

[@brucephoenix3989]

DeAngelo Starnes Agreed! He tore up that solo, and had a wah pedal on it too. George Duke, great guy too. And Jimmy Smith in total command of the B3! 🏆

Mr. Bassman was feelin cannonballs solo. But man, I so wish he was out there longer. Hands down the best!!

I feel lucky to have found this. Such great sound quality & video quality. Legends of music at their best, live.

[@paulrobertz8491]

This is the first time I've seen these legends in 1971 clothes and hairstyles. I'll dress like Walter Booker at the next jam session I go to. Also, I never knew Dave Brubeck inherited Spike Jones' plaid trousers.

[@shellirice4563]

Wow. What a thrill. Listening pleasure on another stratosphere! Nov 2020 Im soaking this all in. THANK U

[@ChrisDocStewart]

Wow! Thanks for sharing all this magnificent jazz. I just want to clarify a few things as a Cannonball Adderley historian. Cannonball was playing at the York Club in Los Angeles for a three week stent from 29-10-1971 through 13-11-1971. I think the recording is actually from October 27, 1972 during the "Newport Jazz Festival in Europe" tour. This concert was in Rotterdam as you correctly state. I have all the audio recordings and an additional video of the band playing Straight No Chaser from the original NPS broadcast. When I first got these recordings I was told the date was October 18, 1972, but Cannonball was in Warsaw Poland and I have all the recordings from that concert and none of these match. Here is the list of all the tunes the Quintet played at the Rotterdam performance(s). It isn't clear if they are two sets from a single concert or two different concerts. The stage is set up identically on the Straight No Chaser video as in your videos, suggesting the same concert with an intermission: 1. The Black Messiah (15:35) 2. Hummin' (11:44) 3. Walk Tall/The Scene (5:14) Intermission? 4. The Brakes (12:21) 5. Straight, No Chaser (4:13) 6. The Blooz/Oh Babe (6:58) No matter what the facts are, I really appreciate seeing these and all the other material. Thanks again. Doc Stewart

The Cannonball, pacesetting and forever jovial. His work with Miles in general, and Kind of Blue specifically, will always be remembered as his defining best. Seeing him out front here, and performing his "al(to)chemy" is almost otherworldly, after listening to his music for more than fifty years. The visual freezes time, and adds another perspective to the man, the musician, the brother. Thanks for sharing his greatness with the world. May he rest in peace.👑 🎸🎵🎷

[@craigfazekas3923]

I wish ol' Pete (my dear Father) were still alive for many reasons. But I know he would've seriously dug this- he'd have thought he'd hit the motherlode with the availability of KZbin videos such as this !! He saw many jazz greats in his day at the old Red Hill Inn- Pennsauken, NJ. Many years later, (late 80s ?) we went to see Dave Brubeck at Glassboro State College (Glassboro, NJ). He'd learned about the show earlier that day, got home & asked me if I was interested. Sure... (I was into "progressive" rock- King Crimson, Yes, EL&P, Genesis. I always enjoyed rock with some jazz leanings & versa/vice-a. Musicianship & songwriting abilities above all else; so I am surely game for this....) we get there only to discover that it is a fundraising event. Tuxes & gowns permeate the place. Not good for us- he's a propane truck driver & serviceman. Still in his work duds, me in jeans & my Bernie Parent hockey jersey, right ? They had a heart. Dispite it being sold out & our not being dressed ? There were 2 cancelled tickets awaiting new customers like us. Thank you, God ! Because it was a night neither one of us would ever forget.... Ol' Mr. Brubeck had HIS SON performing on both upright & electric basses that night. By the second song, my Pops is requesting Take Five & Blue Rondo à la Turk, as we're only in, like, the 6th or 7th row. Not loudly, mind you. But subtle ,"5 !!"s !! & "Turk !!"s after applauses wound down. Blue Rondo à la Turk was covered by The Nice. (another "prog" band lead by Keith Emerson, albeit in 4/4 time versus the original 5/4 by the Brubeck Quartet). Again we were rewarded as they'd played them both before the night was over. On the way home, I remember Dad saying more than once, "the only thing that could have made this night better would've been Paul Desmond." That night was one of those things that were great because you knew how great the night actually was, as we were doing it & that we would both have that endearing memory for the remainder of our days on Earth. If one is able to revisit life's experiences after having expired, in Heaven; this night is truly a given- to be able to do it again. And we'd actually thought at one point that we'd might have driven, one way, 45 minutes for nothing, once we'd seen all those tuxedos & gowns filing into the building. Good, no- GREAT THING- we pressed on like we did !! Love you, Dad !! If some of what I said earlier is true, (about revisiting life's treasured moments in the afterlife...) then surely ol' Pete is at a Count or Duke show at the Red Hill Inn- right about now....😇

[@warrendoris9669]

Actually its an A series Hammond.

[@craigfazekas3923]

@@Gurt_Bearded_Hobo I've read (do not pretend to know about this at all, just bein' honest) that essentially, the C model defers to the B model primarily due to the current output/input. As in, the B model was for North American 110 voltage & the C model is for Euro voltage. But if you are able to identify differences by sight, this assertion of mine must not be true. Can you enlighten me somewhat ? I mean in layman's terms, don't knock yourself out. But, are there key things you focus on in identifying a C from a B model Hammond ? I just love Lawrence Hammond's creation altogether. One of the best sounds ever when coupled with a Leslie. And to think: Mr. Hammond knew nothing of music itself. He was a manufacturer of clocks, primarily. When that market saw saturation, he saw possibilities in what turned out to be the tone wheel. Consulting with engineers with musical backrounds- he found that he was correct. Amazing.

[@timhazell5103]

Wonderful rhythms and traditional/contemporary instrumentation. Love the funky organ sounds. The production is clean and unobtrusive, allowing the grooves and melodies to shine through. I am also impressed with the natural sounds of the percussion effects. As a musician, composer and orchestra leader (currently conducting a classical chamber orchestra) who has worked in a number of genres with producers such as Daniel Lanois and musicians like the late Billy Preston, I appreciated the quality of what you are presenting. Congratulations!
