Art blakey's Jazz Messengers - Dat Dere

[heidiihehe]

Beautiful, it's a shame music isn't like this anymore. Generic chart music seems to have taken over.

[divagranny0]

Dat dere awesome. great tune

[DAXLBTV]

WHHHHOOOOLLLLYYY solo, man! I love u Morgan!

[BenzoWarden]

[seacow1970]

This is so awesome. Why can't we have music like this now?

[JazzSoul1016]

[sightonsaito]

[MetalMoses21]

240p we meet again...

[Format303]

excellent tune

[tyden13]

All about that shout chorus!! 6:52

[caponsacchi]

Mehldau does this on the "best recording of 2011" according to readers of Down Beat Magazine. It is a nifty little number. I think it's Timmons' tune, with great lyrics added later by Jon Hendricks.

[nutmegdesigns]

what a way to start this day!

[ericmadis53]

Yes, Lee (Morgan) is absolutely great in this performance. But this is a great, great tune. Check out Freddy Hubbard on "Stolen Moments". That is another brilliant trumpet moment also!

[KoolRifz]

Lee is super hot!!!

[chwjts]

Is it just me, or is Lee hot sh*t?

[TheBigdrob1]

LOVED THIS THEN, AT BIRDLAND? LOVE IT NOW.

[manu57ize]

thank you for the rare pleasure of seeing and hearing Bobby Timmons

[funkyflautist]

that talks...

[Romichouu]

When I see Lee Morgan's face while he's playing I know he's giving so much, I wanna cry, that's so good

[jekaterinkap]

only jazz haters can press dislike:) pfff

[TheMiniBobGuitar]

these guys know whats up!

[nykballer34]

20 people obviously don't know what good music is.

[vze4p6c2]

@nykballer34 no, 20 people are less than 93 years of age!!

[sexyfatbastid]

That was so cool!

[Portagemarchjazzyman]

Lee Morgan is the man!

[dagostinoification]

super musique! merci pour cette video! didier-dagostino-batteur.fr

[taariqtaariq]

art blakey , my favourite jazz drummer !

[fafa74]

This clip is a Treasure to be preserved like an antique artefact.

Watched this clip dozens and dozens of times, felt compelled to comment several times and I must repeat myself; this is an orgasmic performance!

[ProAbsinthe]

20 are idiots

[InGallifrey]

So I am writing a bs college paper how I've always like jazz and other nonsense.

I am googling names of jazz musician to add to the paper and I encounter this

I am in love!

I close my eyes and I'm in a film!

What is going on??!?!?

[tiltcircus]

Enduring... solid perfromance... sublime communication. Making JAZZ an art form... called it an 'AMERICAN' art form, too. Understand what makes this click. Art Blakey. For interested artists: put that new video tribute project up, on the inspiration screen. Methinks Jon Bonham may have earned a drum slot, here? Or would Blakey have done Zep? Yep. Thanks, POSTER

[elarybicka1954]

cudo  ela

[DiamondGOYO]

would this be classified as "Hard Bop"?

[ccruz996]

@DiamondGOYO Yes

[jadojinsu]

@DiamondGOYO

Most definitely. However, that's mostly a result of the artists. There's much more extreme hard bop out there.

[princeskyline54b2]

If my memory is correct, this was filmmed at the TBS studio in Tokyo, 1961. I'm very glad to see Bobby Timmons' fingers at the end of this song. I'm from Japan and am 44 years old. I read that Blakey and his Jazz Messengers was just like the Jazz Influenza when they visited Japan for the first time. Their music was completely different from the music that the Japanese used to listen to, such as Glen Miller or Benny Goodman. The word "funky" soon became popular in Japan.

[TheKeybram]

I love this, it's the best jazz performance I've ever seen.

[svendiamond]

RJD2 - Rain

[samsamba08]

It's awesome to hear Shorter play so beefy, "rootsy" stuff. Wow.

[avivagabriel]

Lee Morgan's trumpet solo is like a benediction...he seems imbued with the 'holy spirit.' It brought me to tears. Is he real?

[Littlewhitelephant]

@avivagabriel I agree, Lee Morgan is wonderful, but Wayne Shorter is doing one of his most lyrical solos here too. All of them are playing here as if they were an incarnation of Krishna. ;-)

[paulostroff99]

awesome!

[Attohertz]

damn, what other morgan solos work around this minor pentadonic diminished stuff?

[SpamSpu]

Dat Dere Jazz Piano

[BurntF3aceMan]

I think I just jazzed in my pants

[diggsduke]

@BurntF3aceMan You can't jazz your pants unless you're wearing your pants on your brain

[alanpachter]

@BurntF3aceMan funny!

[wahabmarahman]

[alexnovak]

[soupedguit369]

what lineup is this? Is it Shorter/Morgan/Timmons/Merritt­?

[gilouseb]

@soupedguit369

Yes.

[MrBluescluesboy]

Dat Dere, my friends, is jazz

[koningkorstiaan]

His parents were geniuses to call their kid art.

[Musicologist216]

If there were ever a greater contribution to the world to have been created is this music called....JAZZ. All African-Americans should be most proud of this crowning accomplishment.

[gayle2020]

@Musicologist216 I know I am

[slipbone]

Thanks for posting this. It's been one of my favorites since the 60s. It's great to see them play it. The words are great too.

[puripuri55]

I saw Bobby Timmons moving for the first time.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Me likey Blakey.

[1blue1]

Stunning.

[Staroth999]

[hellogoodbyeholly00]

So amazing. :)

[MDF86000]

[gerrythrash]

This is straight ahead jazz in its most basic, most beautiful form. I mean...how does anybody NOT like this??

[music880216]

@gerrythrash They're not ready yet to appreciate, later they'll repent... lol

[dleddy14]

@gerrythrash because they have not grooved it yet.  I am sure I would love it if I listened to it five times.

[djDiagOnfly]

this was already in 1961? what the hell happened in 49 years?

[EMCEMITCH]

poignant lyrics as well in a nice segue when followed up by oscar brown jr rendition or vice versa

[rklionel2]

This trumpet player is so indrawn.

He is THE TRUMPET.

[erikschwab]

@faqat7assan: I wouldn't say Blakey is "now" a Muslim, since he died in 1990.

[SEHANO]

the piano part is teh awesome.

[jazzyjimg]

@SEHANO

I agree 100%. Timmons is the man.

[faqat7assan]

art blakey has coverted and now a muslim

[taariqtaariq]

@faqat7assan AB was an Ahmediya Muslim adherent , a  sect which is often regarded as something not quite right but the orthodox Sunni majority.

[dangerousdaveT]

@taariqtaariq Really.That is surprising.You probably know that the Ahmediya are being slaughtered in indonesia and their government says it's their own fault for calling themselves Muslims and does nothing to protect them from the mobs.Not a whisper from any western countries about this as far as I know.

[dangerousdaveT]

@dangerousdaveT This is because taariqtaariq informed us that Art Blakey was an Ahmediya.

Back on the subject Art Blakey was one of the most lyrical,melodic and expressive drummers ever.

thanks for any postings of him and The Messengers in their many forms.

[taariqtaariq]

@dangerousdaveT: The Ahmediya sect originated in Pakistan and they  are regarded as filth there too.

[dangerousdaveT]

@taariqtaariq What a shame that so-called religious people can't accept that other humans can have different beliefs to their own.Most musicians and just about every great one is totally tolerant because they believe in love.Those who believe in hate,from whatever belief system they adhere to are in fact insulting their own God by twisting the faith to suit themselves.

We should all just seek wisdom.Music is a path.Peace!

[Harvesterofmetal]

@dangerousdaveT. Well personnaly I don't really care about artists thoughts especially when they try to use them as a substitute of the value of their art. I care about the love they have to sense how a feeling should be expressed trough sounds, words or whatever. It's a kind of tought, but different than the common one. There are musicians in music history that weren't really respectful towards the public, a race, etc. I won't like them personnaly but trough their work, esthetically,for sure :)

[christiandior1947]

A masterpiece!!!! The world is sorely in need of music like this!!!

[Joshuaemx]

dat dere cell tech

[Littlewhitelephant]

Excuse me, who is playing the tenor sax here ?

He's splendid !

[beboptobi]

@Littlewhitelephant

That's Wayne Shorter

[Littlewhitelephant]

Good Jazz like this is the housel god sent to earth not to be killed but to replenish your soul. Timeless jewel !

[PacmanRocks100]

A really great song, hopefully I have it in my fakebook somewhere

[earthimage1]

I just posted a note a few moments ago and would like to amend it. I just found a beautiful, very sensitive vocal version by a singer from the Netherlands, Zippora Tieman. Well worth a listen.

This is a singer from whom I would like to hear much more, she truly has the goods!

[earthimage1]

A great Bobby Timmons tune and this is a fine version, Lee shines. Check out some of the vocal versions. Oscar Brown wrote the lyrics and it really works. My favorite rendition is by Sheila Jordan but there are a lot of other good ones out there.

[bislibamba]

if that piano solo doesnt make you want to learn piano I dont know what else does

[vastusinternus]

@bislibamba Damn right!

[blackman6270]

@bislibamba Its more like that sax makes me want to learn how to play the sax in my case ;)

[nassreiskulturen]

@bislibamba McCoy Tyner. Took me about 5 Months to discard the idea and to be satisfied with my guitar again. Because know, I found a way...

[seacow1970]

@bislibamba

Yup - I agree 100% -but if you are learning it also might make you want to give up!!! ;)

[ThisIsTheAlphabet]

This tune's got so much... blues, explosiveness, incredible solos, in them such richness... it breaks your heart to hear them play, doesnt it?!

[ur1sab]

Try to find the Mosaic Records release of the Complete 1960 Jazz Messengers. 6CDs, now out of print. Superb stuff. That Phiily sound of Timmon, Morgan, and Merritt.

[williamm307]

real good vid great jazzzzz

[fr3lonbrun]

Yeah, no doubt about Morgan, GMan, I 'm just learning about that dude, and man, it's like a revelation after hearing Miles or Hub, or even Clarence Shaw - I mean, when they say Lee Morgan put "a new masculinity" into the trumpet, I hear what they're at least trying to get at - dude has this slick ass blues swerve to his playing, but with this real stark brash unadorned sound to it, too. When I re-listened to Hub, it was like, damn, that boy's smooth, but Lee was more juke joint! LOL

[taariqtaariq]

@fr3lonbrun Lee Morgan was murdered outside a seedy night spot.

[jaybou263]

Art Blakey and the Messengers always striking that most soulfull sound.

[giosoundful]

uuaaa....sweet night with jazz messengers...thanks

[supinator]

omg this is so good 4:40

[ChiTown7721]

Of all the different lineups of the Jazz Messengers through the years, this is my favorite.

[Juewettb]

Slick tune and great solo by Lee. ( as usual)

[siloe103]

RJD2 sampled this mean cut

[seoulman74]

this more than the notes played, this is soul soup .

[ed0uble]

No one compares to these masters.

[artbychristine]

06:13

[boertush]

Great song, so far I like this formation of the jazz messengers the most.

And thanks for the link to the whole concert I really enjoyed it!

[aldcor]

OMG! It makes so cool mood.. Especially end on piano from 8:03

[lordofzeapes]

no showing, they dont need..masters of music

[KidDelicious11]

words cannot describe how much I love this recording

[mcgruppian]

this church-like backbeat is a hallmark of hard bop.

[minnesceongo]

Well I think we all agree it's great music anyway. "Hard bop" was a reaction to the West Coast cool jazz sound but Trane's innovations were somewhat of a reaction to the perceived limitations of hard bop, as were "modal jazz" (Miles), and later, "free jazz" and "fusion" (also Miles).

[MegaCharlieDelta]

No words to say!!! This is music, no this is beyond music!!

[astroscorp2]

Then I guess I have a very different conception of hard-bop than what people might generally. The older shuffle style still present in the late 50's, early 60's jazz just doesn't seem like anything new to me, except for the lines of the improvising. And even then...  Freddie Hubbard and McCoy, Trane, Sonny Rollins, Cedar Walton and Clifford Jordan, Joe Henderson... I'm sure there are many others I don't know of...but these are hard-bop in my mind.

[ZackPomerleau]

Who is on piano?

[ZackPomerleau]

@msmsmmss CAN be? Usually is!

[minnesceongo]

I have to respectfully disagree, astroscoprp2 — Giant Steps is not a particularly good example of hard bop — although it's an incredible jazz performance it doesn't have the funky, gospel-tinged, minor sonority typical of hard bop, and the chord changes come too quickly and there are way too many! If I wanted to pick one example of hard bop (that wasn't played by Horace Silver) this performance of Dat Dere would definitely be a candidate.

[astroscorp2]

People are saying this is 'hard-bop'. I can't say I hear that at all. Maybe in Wayne, but he's influenced by Trane. This is Blakey. It's raw, shuffle swang. It's medium shuffle-bop. Giant Steps is hard bop.

[ZackPomerleau]

@astroscorp2 Giant Steps the album may have had some hard bop elements but it is widely considered to be his departure from hard bop. The composition "Giant Steps" is innovation and not bop. In my opinion of course.

[astroscorp2]

@ZackPomerleau I see it as the essence of what hard-bop is. I don't know what it is widely considered. 'Trane is hard-bop to me; earlier Trane at least. 'Innovation' isn't a style. Hard bop is innovative. Hard bop to me has that harder, darker twinge. More cutting than Blakey.

[ZackPomerleau]

@astroscorp2 It went away from Hard Bop, and what I mean by innovation is it is a step away. Earlier Coltrane is the most bop he did because he left shortly after. Charlie Parker should be the definition of Hard Bop, in my opinion.

[astroscorp2]

@ZackPomerleau Well then all be-bop is hard bop in that case. But this causes both terms to lose their definition in part. Be-bop is what Bird and Diz created; the language. They were the real firsts along with Bud Powell. Everyone leading up to them; Monk, Prez, Hawkins, was pre-bop; proto-bop. The late 50's brought on hard-bop. I personally see Trane as the leader and innovator of this. Thanks for debating. =)

[taariqtaariq]

@ZackPomerleau charlie Parker was all be bop, a slightly dated style, that  opened the door for this kind of stuff and beyond.

[vastusinternus]

Man! I just listened to a monster Tenor Sax solo!!!

[unclebobunclebob]

play it, young Wayne.

[luvrealmusic48]

To witness Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers live as I have, is life changing.

Exciting, emotional, and uplifting to say the least. The type of musical therapy that cleanses the senses as well as the soul.

[ignasio911]

genuinely tasty on all aspects

[RogerioMgouveia]

I love this sound!

[Elisabeth1903]

Wasn't he the father of that Spargo-singerlady? She didn't want to talk about him...

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Dat Dere. God I love jazz.

[grizzletoast]

Holy shit. That's bad ass. Perhaps--and I haven't listened to everything--the most bad ass.

[CheckMate657879]

From the top camera angle, 5:30 , is that the inside of the top of the piano, or microphone equipment strung across? Anybody? Anybody?

[paulostroff99]

Awesome

[Uberthium]

yup nothing like the university of hard-bop.... The Jazz Messengers.

[tvdanielklauser]

sax solo is da' real shit

[vastusinternus]

Two words: From the Soul.

[HiLightz]

@vastusinternus ... that's 3 words... but i won't fault you lol

[SMWhit3out]

@vastusinternus almost.

[ICONSELECTA]

GENIUS POST-BOP JAZZ.

[jerec576]

@ICONSELECTA This is hard bop.

[ICONSELECTA]

@jerec576 That's correct.My mistake.

[jerec576]

@ICONSELECTA Still an awesome tune, my favorite recording is Woody Shaw's take on it from the album "Imagination". Check it out :D

[ICONSELECTA]

@jerec576 Will do so.Awesome also is from John Coltrane's Quartet- Afro Blue.Cheers

[Juewettb]

This line up of the Jazz Messengers will always be my favorite. I'm told Art felt the same way. I especially enjoy this video because of sweet sassy soulful Lee Morgan!

[ccfire63]

this is great

[frontb1]

what form is this song written in?

[eospam]

@frontb1 - this is AABA, like about 75% of all standards if they're not blues. But Mr. Timmons throws you a curve since the B section walks, while the A section is usually played "half-time feel", so to speak. 'Moanin' is like this too. Some of the finest art made in the 20th century right here.

[ronandelisle]

lee morgan is undoubtedly one of the best. his solo was so well constructed......

[bezbade]

BEST TRACK, no joke!

[ladymusemusic]

top of the line

[romainwacziarg]

Bobby Timmons (p), Wayne Shorter (ts), Lee Morgan (t), Art Blakey (d)

[LoSignorino]

I have always liked the Jazz Messengers, but Bobby Timmons is the one who amazes me the energy from his soloing is incredible, I would do anything to see these guys play and entertain at some local bars or pubs I think everyone could learn to like this music if not at least be majorly impressed...long live Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers!

[77kboogie]

Compared to 'jazz' of today, this is the real shit man.
