  • I agree jazzologist

  • These top men in their day are simply outstanding, bouncing off each other, spurring each other on into more and more inventive creations. What wonderful jazz.

  • lol... it says "lee konitz" while art farmer (or farner) is soloing.

  • When was this?

  • Correct the Title of the Vid!

    His name is "Art Farmer" not "Farner" ;)

  • Indeed, Art and Gerry's music lives on. I miss them. To Lee Konitz: See you soon Lee. Thanks for playing!!

  • God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Art and Gerry's music lives on. May Lee Konitz live forever. He's never stopped blowing and growing. Blessings. . .

  • This is outstanding jazz. (Of course the melody from Ellington, et al is a great foundation!)

  • Oh, man, do I miss Mulligan.

  • Lee Konitz on Alto is so cool. His Solo is some kind of strange, but vey elegant and different from the other swing stuff. Really great!

  • Love this era x

  • Great Mulligan that plays Ellington? or not?

  • After a year this is still great ! Imagine where we'd be without recourse to UTube to have at finger tip EVERYTHING we heard from 40's on ( and before) So my thanks also to You Tube

  • What lovely sounds! The coolest music on this old planet of ours. Every evening I arrive at this site for a feast of the best. Thanks, YouTube.

  • For all those wonderful musicians, well known and not very, like quite a few in this great band. I have been so lucky to have seen so many when i was younger. YouTube is great because all this is available now to everyone. Thank you very much for posting this!

  • Wow Art Farmer takes this into interesting places right from the word go. Hearing it makes me wonder how much homage Roy Hargrove owes him

  • Art Farmer on trumpet was incorrectluy labeled as Lee Konitz on the video. Lee was there alright on the sax.

  • Mulligan's "What Is There To Say" is a jazz classic, done with partner Art Farmer. Great to see them still at it later and so digging doing oh so well what they always do so well.

  • A great bunch of musicians and for a change enjoying what they're doing and showing it.

  • The first solo, on trumpet, is definitely Art Farmer, not Lee Konitz as stated in lettering in the video

  • Jeru! Thanks for posting Serg =)

  • This set is "dope"!

  • Isn't that Ron Vincent on drums?

  • french horn solo wasn't very long... :(

    im surprised it was even there

  • Very nice ....a joy to listen to.

  • Exactly my feelings, Buckshot! What happened to that icy sound? There really was no one like him. Listen to him at the Haigue with the original Mulligan quartet - especially Too Marvelous For Words. Or with Tristano.

    Now, he's all over the lot - no center. I know he disagrees, but privately he knows it and as much as told me so.

    But hey, we all get old.

  • I listened to Skylark, featured on your profile. A great statement.

  • Error..the post up for a trumpet player was not Lee Konitz. Lee is a sax player.

  • Yep Mulligan played with Brookmeyer. This is a great & solid version of SD though. I got Mulligan/Chet B in early 50's I was lucky. Jazz of all kinds given me so much pleasure

  • sorry thats actually the other guy

  • i'm pretty sure mike mossman is playing a prana cornet not a trumpet

  • And Bill Barber on rotary valve(they are quick and reliable)TUBA. Nice low notes on French Horn. We in Whangarei had Satin Doll on the list of forbidden tunes(which had been thrashed to death too many times by amateurs.)

  • When and where was this recorded? I know Gerry passed away in January 1996 and Art in 1999, and I would guess sometime in the early 1990's here.

  • 1992

  • who're the rest of the players? tenor? trumpet? fr. horn?

  • Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Lee Konitz), The tentet also included Rob McConnell on valve trombone, Mike Mossman (who took some pointed solos) on trumpet, Ken Soderblum on saxophone and clarinet, Bob Routch on French horn, Ted Rosenthal on piano, Dean Johnson on bass and Ron Vincent on drums

  • Is that a Claude Lakey Mouthpiece on Konitz's horn?

  • I doubt it. It doesn't look like one. Lakey's look a lot like Hard Rubber Links. I have both.

  • Wow !

    As usual, Lee takes us to a different place.

    Larga vida al Pulento !!

    Thanks Joan !!

  • Damn Konitz sounds like a tenor, awesome...I wonder what mouthpiece he's using.

  • I too think he sounds like a tenor here..he could be using a meyer, otto link, or vandoren. I can't tell from appearence though.

  • Not BB, but that woulda been great. That's Rob McConnell on Vtbn.

  • Nice to hear Art playing on his flumpet horn!

    Valv trombone man is just Bob Brookmeier did on old time jazz recordings with Gerry!

    Lee k solo is cool tempo, nice!

  • Valve Bone guy is Rob McConnell

  • Hí There´

    Shure it is Rob! You missanderstand my comment. Sorry for that. What I mean´t was that Gerry useed to play with Brookm. in early days!
