Sarah Vaughan - Round Midnight - 1987

Sarah Vaughan - Sassy's swing - Round Midnight - Sass&Brass - 1987

[@mysticgatherings]

This is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE. I'm sorry for the language buts exactly what came out as I sat here and listened.

[@ocnoreen]

Best jazz singer in the world ever! There are others I dig but not so well as Sass. She taught the world how jazz should be sung. She was a consummate musician, played great piano. I miss her music so much and her as well. We all hung out together every night back in the day when she was in town.

[@epf1961]

If you are hip to the history of modern jazz, you know that Dizzy and Sarah were there at the very beginning, in the studio in 1945 with Bird and other legends, making pioneering records that would change the face of the music forever. To see them reunited on stage all those years later, and performing one of the signature tunes from that early bop era, brings goosebumps.... What does it feel like to be on stage performing music that you literally invented 40 years prior? Surreal stuff...

[@mhstpt]

Dizzy represents the pioneers of bop, including Thelonius Monk and his mighty pen. Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter bridged the gap from bop to post bop and captured both so artistically. With these artists backing Sassie, how could go wrong. hers was as fine an instrument as any horn blower and yes - she truly was a musician.

[@pharmasteve]

Sarah... The Sassy! Her voice was like a superb wine. It aged beautifully, and got better and better as time went on. x

[@monicabella7894]

I prefer her early recordings, although she was always great.

[@choushi1114]

Her voice is almost instrument. And also emotional. Just amazing.

[@be3ho7nm]

Her voice is the top-class musical instrument.

[@ramonrosarioluna4728]

Her voice is THE instrument!

[@MissDhuneb]

Okay we can't ignore Dizzy either!! two greats in one set! I would have been on cloud nine!

[@charlesbarry6730]

Dizzy and Sarah: Two jazz legends. RIP.

[@morrisparrish76]

Wherever the both of you are: I hope you’re restin at ease!

[@dmcb123]

From my 1987 show Sass and Brass.....such a night...

[@allikattchica6640]

[@21licorne]

Magnifique , superbe Sarah

[@katiarenee]

This is amazing. Just amazing.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Sarah Vaughan ,accompanied by jazz legends. A memorable performance.

[@adaia]

She is So GOOD The Best

[@tharsismadeira8836]

I just love Dizzy's solo on this. This track is the perfect soundtrack for a solitary shot of bourbon 'round about midnight.

[@marydaniel861]

I absolutely love this! My favorite!

[@davidmolina5581]

There should be special tags or stars for master videos like this.

[@jaquaycarter440]

JAZZ ROYALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dawnberi]

Smiling Billy Higgins on the drums! I can tell by the smiling rhythm! YES!!!

[@PKTANGEL]

I love that trumpet. The way it's built guarantees projection. The fact that the tone is still pretty awesome gets me right at the eyes and eardrums at the exact same time.

[@krkincaid]

ouch!brilliant!

[@onelove396able]

Absolutely Priceless!

[@zezt]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm those velvet tones of Ms Sarah Vaughn, enchanting

[@WonderfulWil1]

Dizzy and his instrument and Sarah and her instrument. WONDERFUL! With Ron Carter on bass! (Dat's mah Ol' head!)

[@droopy12able]

Even in my Baby-Boomer days - I' feel in Love with older music and she was ONE of them...kinda reminds me of Anita Baker as well...I just love the silkey blues....

[@brucewilliams8864]

Extraordinary!

[@NYCBG]

Sass and Diz (and Monk) Im in heaven.

[@morrisparrish76]

To dizzy & Sarah ;wherever you’re are: I hope you’re restin at ease!

[@labugambilia]

MAR-VE-LOUSSSSSASSY!!!!!!!!

[@morrisparrish76]

Most of these fine musicians are gone…thank God their music isn’t!

[@CarlitosMayo]

Thank god for this music !!! This will survive America ....

[@kilimanjarno]

timeless brilliance from all of them.

[@Oaktownrob]

Yep, that is Billy Higgins on drums. He had that infectious smile that lasted all those years on the bandstand. Boy we sure miss him!

[@buffalmacco76]

you can easily found a dvd of this show...the title is SASS&BRASS, SARAH VAUGHAN AND FRIENDS.

[@mmangum4444]

Amen to that!!!

[@mariettechabaud1242]

Cette voix......♡~``~~```♡♡♡♡~~`~`

[@tphil5543]

[@fredalwatkins4506]

True art

[@pleyadier]

It should possible to vote 10 stars for videos like this one !

[@loren1283]

man, the band is just the best.

[@DEFinitivelyHis]

FEROCIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tonidunlap555]

My Loves Sass and Dizzy!

[@verahoward9422]

Divine!

[@claudiascott7607]

How great.

[@Ghtthomps]

Billy Higgins was always in the zone when he accompanied the likes of Lee Morgan, Dizzy, Donald Bryd (Black Jack), Dexter Gordon etc. I recently read that he was the house drummer at most Blue Note recording sessions. I met him at his World Stage Jazz Club in Los Angeles. It was a small intimate place like the Jazz Bakery.(L.A. area) I miss that indelible smile too.

[@tonidunlap555]

Sing It Sass, I miss you so much dear friend.

[@rogerjonesII]

wow diz and ron carter at the same time.....what an honor to see

[@MoBetta11]

Sing it Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jhanimo40]

In a good way, I can NOT stop saying shut up!!! So amazing!

[@yusufsabur6619]

thelonious monk masterpiece

[@JazzyZenBrotha]

I could listen to these true "singers" and "musicians" like Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, and Hancock ALL DAY and ANY DAY over the modern day garbage of today.

[@morrisparrish76]

Go ahead; we’re all with you!

[@AriannaGalati]

Thanks a lot, man.

[@PeacefulRuler]

That is, of course, 'Round Midnight by Thelonius Monk. I was surprised she didn't sing the lyric but enjoyed the scat version, too. Nice upload!

[@leoncoda]

DIZZY GILLESPIE, trompeta; HERBIE HANCOCK, piano; RON CARTER, contrabajo, BILLY HIGGINS,, batería ¡¡10 puntos oara este tema de THELONIOUS MONK interpretado por estos 5 números uno!!

[@JazzyZenBrotha]

@MusicLoverBrian1 - Absolutely agreed! No need to tell me twice lol. I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, for me as a Black man living in the era of (C)rap music & pop cow manure I am expected to listen to the "popular" stuff. But instead I listen to S Vaughan, Monk, George Benson, Coltrane, Nat Cole & even R&B greats like Jill Scott, Keith Sweat, Boyz II Men so I get a lot of hate for liking "quality" over crappy "quantity" of modern (C)crap music & little boy pop music.

[@mochi65]

i have watched this twice and just realized that is Dizzy on the trumpet. :D

[@aguzman11189]

The story of Dizzy's trumpet goes that it hit the floor one time and bent it. When he tried to play it, he actually liked the sound that he got from it so that's what he stuck with.

[@hipflores]

Show!!!

[@GjaP_242]

extraordinary exquisite great 1:23!

[@nancydrew5]

Check out Sarah, I love this, look at Ron Carter on bass all cool and shyt. And then there's Diz! If only I could have been there.

[@nancydrew5]

Oh Shyt Herbie Hancock on piano, I didn't see who's on drums. Man what a band!

[@filippofontana8248]

damn, two heavyweight world champions in jazz !!!

[@user-ro7ln2fn3s]

good!

[@myklmusic]

This is so nice. If the Players make it to the stage, Jazz happens. Oh yes... Sarah and Dizzy are quite fine here!

[@pjdunham]

@mochi65 notice the kid on piano? Herbie Hancock! Where do you get tickets for this kid of session!?!

[@velondratsnyc]

👍👍👍👍🌷

[@59argendor]

no lo olvidriaré

[@freereason]

Zowie-doobe we! That's hot !!

[@angelialvares]

the beauty of this song is in the lyrics. With a horn player already in this band did she also have to blow the horn? Lovely textures in her voice though.

[@musictranscription]

I'm writing that sheet music now

[@sarinabentley3]

Wow! I guess this means you can sing a song without knowing the words. What a fantastic singer. The band's not bad either!

[@morrisparrish76]

My jazz friends & me argue to death who is the best between Sarah-Billie-Dinah & Ella….we still haven’t come to an agreement!

[@MrMusicguyma]

What a voice, singing wordless vocals improvising on the great Monk melody with Dizzy, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock. I don't recognize the drummer but he is very good, too. I would have liked to hear her sing the lyrics, too.

[@pantamgo]

Billy Higgins "the man with the wonderful smile" on drums

[@NikosCharalambousmusic]

Is there an album with this line-up? Anyone?

[@kkk5150]

what a soooooo cooooolll!!!! can buy DVD?

[@tomchristopher71]

Herbie Hancock on piano also with the other greats!

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

Well, Herbie himself was one of them. He learned from the masters.

[@victorsethy]

Jazz(blues,rock)appeared,when classical music had been killed by the separation of composer,and ententainer.Now jazz is taught by theory,fingerworks - the same way classical music was killed.While everything is labeled,no new styles,new sounds appearing.Artists killed by free downloads,and tons of information,so art remains a hobby-the most important thing in human history!An other dark age we have here.Hope left.

[@pjdunham]

tawk amoungst y'selves... I'm verklept!

[@TSquared2001]

Musicianship

[@JustinCopelandMusic]

drummer is Billy Higgings.

[@dernomadedeluxe]

Instead of singing the lyrics (even tough they are beautiful) Sassy scats all the way through. Not many can do that. She can.

[@cjelman]

Ron Carter on bass in this clip.

[@mqblues]

Sarah's scat version captures the feel of the song better than the hordes of jazz pop poseurs who have covered it with keyboards and strings and noisy percussion -- not to mention flat vocals (see Amy Winehouse).

[@JazzFlop212]

Stfu Amy was a jazz legend. You can't compare other singers to Sarah Vaughan. Its like comparing a human to a god. Doesnt work. Amy's version is fucking awesome.

[@franksinbeans]

yeah actually it is, and this isn't Sassy's swing it's Can't get started in thebeginning, i believe anyway

[@olvidrio]

@59argendor no olvides tu sentido del humor

[@theheroricky]

What is that trumpet? It looks so weird.....

[@MusicLoverBrian1]

@JazzyZenBrotha Don't get me started on the modern junk that is being thrown out there for the public from the so-called music industry. Sarah Vaughan has more talent, skill, and artistry wrapped around her little finger than these pop singers who called themselves "singers" and "artists". Sarah Vaughan is a TRUE singer and artist and it shows in her music. You can tell that she puts her whole self into a song, giving it all that she got and in the end she delivers nothing but quality.

[@AriannaGalati]

who are the fellas of the band?

[@LatifahAllah]

Is that Ron Carter?

[@MabookaMabooka]

of course it is!

[@rusellh3196]

Yes it is

[@empereurjustinien2082]

yep his tone is incredible

[@wiim2000]

Dizzy was Dizzy and Sarah was Sarah, 'nouf said.

[@monicabella7894]

And Billie was Billie and Lester was Lester.

[@gessed]

He himself admits that he looks like a frog.Of course no one minds(not me).The notes the phrasing ,the ideas,and last but not least his stuff he has done for jazz is not possible to equate.I love Dizzy and Parker

[@monicabella7894]

I prefer the original version from 1962. This is great, although it has nothing to do with the title.

[@mysticgatherings]

Then she just casually sits down like what she did ain't nuffin! Woman is still A GOD! Hell this morning I heard them say Mariah Carey was a legend............WTF! I'd give anything to relive these days. Talk about going to hell when you die. Shydd with what's out today I think I died am already in hell! You tube makes me think it might just be purgatory. Thank God for Purgatory then!

[@billjhyt]

Dizzy is diggin' Sarah, no doubt. But the feeling is mutual, I'm sure.

[@raanajbrezenoff7172]

Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet!

[@elisullivan7392]

Who is on drums? It doesn't look like Ignacio Berroa...

[@dawnberi]

THE GREAT BILLY HIGGINS!!!!

[@CherCherico]

@meepmeepXroadrunner I have heard her time and again give credit to her musicians and seems like she has a great rapport with them. Even if you a right, this is about music and she delivers. Now you yourself are not perfect and I bet you have some nasty ways yourself.!!

[@rogerjonesII]

and with herbie.....are you kidding me?

[@francesschaefer]

I know, wow, right?? all stars cross the generations isn't it just beautiful~~???

[@olvidrio]

...o qué hacer cuando no te acuerdas de la letra.
