Jimmy Smith et al - 'Newport in New York' (Live video 1972)

Jam Session 'Newport In New York' 1972: Jimmy Smith; Kenny Burrell; Roy Haynes; plus Clark Terry; Art Farmer; Illinois Jacquet; James Moody

[@joepalooka2145]

Wow, what a fantastic performance by a group of legendary virtuosos. Jimmy Smith is the greatest jazz keyboard player of all time as far as I am concerned, not only for his incredible improvising skills, but his unbelievable harmonic and rhythmic genius and his amazing bass lines. I don't know anyone else who plays like him. He was so good it's beyond words.

[@billkazen4683]

I know Jimmy Smith had a bad reputation for being real surly with fans...but somehow I must have asked the right way, 'cause he signed an 8x10 promo picture for me summer of '71 in Cleveland. This has zGOT to be a very rare collector's item...

Thank you for posting. I was at a 1972 Newport In NY Radio City Midnight Jam featuring these artists and Dexter Gordon, Art Blakey, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and more. I must be old!

Mr. KB such a great guitarist & classy man.🌎🇺🇸😎

[@quincyholiday5190]

I have seen all of these cats perform at various times.

[@imbees2]

Kenny Burrell is a favorite

[@MrNewktrane]

Wow. Thanks for posting this priceless footage. I have the album box set & I never knew there was any footage on video. We still have all time greats in Mr. Burrell & Mr. Haynes with us, but this video clearly shows when Giants once walked the earth.

[@bobjuke4216]

I've had this video for years but didn't put it together with the box set til last night! .. I got it from an Italian collector and filed it under Jimmy Smith.. And of course now I'm searching for more video from the same performance 🙂

THX so much Bob! Great to see Kenny Burrell playing his version of ‘People’ like he recorded it as well. 🙏

[@peterszabo4704]

Dear Bob, many thanks for sharing this video, in the very beginning the text said that this concert was made in Budapest, Hungary at Erkel Theater. Kind regards Peter.

[@chazinko]

Awesome to be able to hear these legends - thank you!

[@jackconley4151]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@curiousnomad]

It’s interesting how they have Roy out front, and that even though they’re playing pretty straight ahead ( with people like Clark and Illinois):he’s breaking the time up in his usual way.

[@boomerang905]

They're jamming! ❤

[@DouglasF68]

blows any modern jazz away with such soul. Jacquet sets a high bar and all who proceed raise it higher. ecstacy ❤🎉😂

[@imbees2]

The Newport jazz festival began in the 50s

Live concert in Budapest "Erkel Színház"

[@imbees2]

I’ll check it out

[@imbees2]

Now we on the bass sax

[@katella12]

I compiled this setlist: 01 Walkin’ 02 Satin Doll (horns and saxes out) 03 announcer and Haynes solo 04 People (Burrell solo) 05 I Don’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance with You (Jacquet feature) 06 Georgia (Terry feature) 07 Indian Summer (Moody feature) 08 What’s New (Farmer feature) 09 unknown blues 10 announcer/Haynes solo

[@AMEER-114-]

Hey... Your the guy who made the playlist of JIMMY SMITH full albums.... I just found that playlist.... Did you even see my other attempt to address you?.

[@AMEER-114-]

And your song list would be greatly improved with timestamps i.e. 15:53 Satin.. 21:42 Haynes solo 23:00 People 25:23 Ghost.. 30:22 Georgia 33:35 Indian Summer 37:50 What's New 41:04 Unknown 45:42 Haynes solo

Owwwwwww weeeeeee

Correction: Erkel Theatre in Budapest, 1973! 😎

[@herbseitzer]

The beginning sounds like “Mustard Greens”.!.!.!

[@imbees2]

Doesn’t really matter where the jazz is played. Newport or Carnegie hall. Same music no matter location

[@imbees2]

I heard that Herb.

[@imbees2]

Ok. Held in ny.

[@EllingtonReflections]

Do you have the video from the jam session that featured Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, etc. ?

[@bobjuke4216]

On the track as we speak 🙂

@@bobjuke4216 FANTASTIC!!!

[@tehtube]

Dear Bob! Thanks the sharing, but no Newport in New York. It was Europe, state Hungary, Budapest city, Erkel theatre. Text are hungarian in start.

[@bobjuke4216]

Thanks. But Yes I know 🙂 I believe that was the name of the Show on Hungarian TV which is why I've written it '......' You can see from the credits at the beginning I think.. This is only a clip though, I believe there might be more

[@oldvic8567]

@@bobjuke4216 ..the "name of the Show" on the credit-list says exactly in hungarian: "J. Smith at the Erkel Theatre".

[@oldvic8567]

...and at 45.50 (-during the drum-solo -) you hear the hungarian TV-anouncer-lady, saying it was a live concert of J.S. at the Erkel-Theatre, (Budapest), with thw credits of the hungarian TV-staff. I hope this clinches it...

Who’s o the horn?

[@charleswinokoor6023]

No one else, as far as I can tell, who has left a comment has noted that this was the first year (1972) that the Newport Jazz Festival was held in New York. It’s a significant fact. George Wein had to move the festival because a bunch of rowdy, moronic gatecrashers ruined everything the year before, and in doing so alienated town officials. I know because I had a ticket to see the original version of the Allman Brothers band the following night. That was the last year that Wein booked any rock acts.

[@rudytormento9753]

Thanks for the information.👍

[@barneylessing4781]

New York concert was at Radio City Music Hall..unusual venue for jazz.
