Hi! This is the only filmed version of this I could find - which is why I put it up!
To my ears it follows the original 1963 Ugetsu recording pretty closely - in fact the intro horn phrase is a direct lift (as is a lot more of the playing!).
About that ensemble part you hear at 7.01 - it was played behind the solos of Freddy Hubbard Curtis Fuller and Wayne Shorter (who wrote it) on the original - but Interestingly enough was not played behind pianist Cedar Walton's solo!
One of the amazing Shorter compositions written for the Messengers! "Ugetsu" is no doubt among the top ten Messengers albums along with "Moanin'", "Free For All" and "Mosaic".
You will be pleased to know that you are one hundred percent correct in that you are one hundred percent wrong ... It aint Scott Joplin - or if it is, they played a terrible joke on him when they buried in 1917 .. You are also one hundred percent correct when you write it is still the greatest art form. ... You obviously have excellent taste
@bobjazz11 hahahahahah i was joking about the joplinthing hahahaha way passed his time, but i was trying to say how great it is that such an artform as this can transform/develop throughout so many years and still maintain its brilliance
This live hit must have been after the 1982 album "Oh By The Way". I had to look up some of the personnel to be sure. I recognized Charles Fambrough and Donal Harrison on alto. I had to confrim if that really was Terence Blanchard on trumpet because he is so young here! Man is he killin! Bill Pierce (Professor at Berklee College of Music) on Tenor sounds nice too! Great clip!
Jean Toussaint is a terribly under-rated tenor player. He is definitely my favorite of all of Blakey's 80's saxophonists and possibly the best after Wayne. When Blakey carried 2 tenors in the band the difference is remarkable. Jean was amazingly mature when in the Messengers, opposed to some of the horn players Blakey had during that time.
truly one of the great messengers bands, note how harrison begins his solo like wayne's original solo (from the riverside ugetsu lp) and terence is so amazing, great sound phrasing and downright funky, btw the changes to this is for albert are available, i have them somewhere, i'll dig them up for you..
Nice composition. From that period there is also 'This Is For Albert' (Riverside album 'Caravan'). I would give my left arm to have the chord changes of that one.
FastBebop, thank you so very much! I would never have found these changes! It makes me very happy to finally be able to play this tune, which has been circling in my head for more than 30 years.
As I promised to give my left arm: what can I do for you? Are there jazz tunes or standards you would like to have the chord progressions of? Please let me know. All the best to you!
You know, you thanked me already, and that's quite enough! But seriously, you need to get this fakebook! And transcribe by ear too, in thirty years, even 1 chord per year, you would've had the chords a long time ago ;-)
I am almost speechless. "Ugetsu" is so terribly underrated musically, historically and empirically. I rarely discuss jazz with friends because they have very limited musical tastes. I am ecstatic to know someone shares my affinity from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers' performances captured in Japan. In fact, when I DJ I love to mix in the intro to "One By One." Thanks for finding this gem and sharing it!
If I ever had was forced to answer the painfully juvenile and banal question "What is your all time favorite song?", I would not hesitate to respond "One By One" off Ugestu by.....you get the idea. Can t write, must listen...
Sweet! I just heard about this album on Jazz FM 91.1 last night and became a new fan instantly! Love Freddie and Wayne and already a big fan of theirs but but Art Blakey sure nuf got some hot stix!
Boy! did I get that wrong!!! - Yep, it's the first track on the live album - and also this opening sax lick here is a straight lift from Shorter solo!.....:( Thanks!
very cool : )

To me, Lee Morgan was the greatest trumpeter ever to pass thru the Messengers. Its hard to gauge all the others like Blanchard after hearing Lee.
