  • this song is iconic, the bass line is by chambers is instantly recognizable intro, All the players totally lay it down in the true style of their instrument, including a motif driven up that then down for the full solo, held like a true genius. Love it.

  • this is pretty phat. I'm learning it of piano.

  • Sublime masterpiece. The dislikes? Well trolls get everywhere.

  • u must not be a jazz musician then im talkin about your comment right above sayin true minor blues changes

  • 2 dislikes have had their moments in time stolen from them.

  • Makes me feel like playing SimCity again!

  • this ones for the time capsule of eternity

  • Who plays the solo at 4:15 ? Haynes or Hubbard ?

  • @boudoir83 i think that it is George Barrow (baritone sax) [otherwise, Eric Dolphy (alto sax)]

  • @boudoir83 The sax solo is by George Barrow on tenor sax. It's a beautiful solo. The underrated Mr. Barrow has also worked with Mingus, Kenny Clarke, and Bobby Timmons. -Peter

  • @boudoir83 that's Oliver Nelson himself i think.

  • @boudoir83 Well, gee- considering Freddie Hubbard plays trumpet and Roy Haynes is a drummer and a SAX solo happens at at 4:15...

  • The man who posted this file had forgotten to mention of the performance's date. Please write here who knows. Vagif Seidov. 27.12.11.

  • where can i find this song but arranged by Paul Martha

  • @cchsbuttons14 I'm afraid i don't know. A good google search would be my guess.

  • @Syllerud Who knows the date of this performance, - tell me! VAGIF SEIDOV.

  • @vagif330 the "Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD" (Cook, Morton, 7th ed.) says that this was recorded in February 1961.

  • PREFECTION!

  • I love playing tis in Jazz Bands.

  • Thank you for posting. I discovered today that he also did the music for the 1st season of the Six Million Dollar Man, and that he died at the early age of 42 :'(

  • The Tenor solo on this song is my favorite solo on any song, ever.

  • bill evans + freddie hubbard + MOTHERFUCKIN CRAZY AS HELL Eric Mah Mein Dolphy shittttt my head's gonna exploooooooode mufucuuuuuu

  • What the hell. They know this is the lone gem on a less than decent album, so they make you buy the whole thing on iTunes to get this song. You can purchase any of the other songs for 0.99, but this one is only available through the album. Well, fuck that. I'm not paying $5.99 for one song.

  • @ZeldainPark ---Dude, c'mon.........a less than decent album??? Bullshit. While this is the best song on "The Blues & the Abstract Truth", the rest of the album is solid stuff too. I don't know anything about itunes (nor do I give a shit), but I'm damn glad to have this album on CD.........

  • @ZeldainPark Woah. Just about every moment on this album is gorgeous, beginning to end. One example amongst many: Dolphy's soaring solo on Yearnin' — gives me chills every time.

  • anyone knows Oliver Nelson's "Patterns" from his album sound pieces?

    im not sure about the harmony in the solos there, is it dorian going up chromatically ? (C,Db,D,Eb,E,F,D,C)

    ty

  • Smooth baby smoOth !

    ?;^)

  • brilliant!

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have this on vinyl but it was badly scratched when i got the album 30+ years ago...now this is playing...nirvana!!!

  • This one of the five or six LPs that got my attention to the idiom of Jazz as a teenager. I was only interested in R&B and Motown until I heard stuff like this. Glad I own this great piece of vinyl. Absolutely beautiful music.

  • uno de los mejores discos de jazz

  • Dare I say it, this is right up there with So What on Kind of Blue.  There, I said it. :-)

  • I USED TO LISTEN TO HIM WHILE ID DO MY HOMEWORK

  • @MysteriousPainter - when you gave to me your "stolen moment" right off I thought of this classic this original captures the "stolen moment" - I like this version for you and for me too - This up tempo drives hard no letup “straight no chaser” I hope you like it your phrase immediately brought this to mind and (life turns on a phrase) beautifully so, hope you like it? I had not heard in so long thank you – be safe enjoy your life "The Ancient City” awaits your return – Enjoy

  • I cannot tell you how much I love love LOVE this. It's classic and sultry and just beautiful. It's good mood food for my brain after a long day. Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Syllerud!!

  • one of the few videos on youtube with 0 dislikes. Says it all

  • @eagames1234

    well, unfortunately when people post comments like that, there are some (stupid and ignorant) people who just dislike the video just to prove the comment wrong.

  • @eagames1234 january 13th 2012: actually two dumbarses disliked this marvellous video, but 532 smart guys approved it!

  • Thank you Syllerud! This is an interesting minor blues that has an unconvertional chromatic movement of parallel "m7 add 4, omit 5" (stacked 4ths) chords at bars 9 - 12 of the head. The composer's tenor sax solo is well constructed and deliciously played. He uses only a few motifs that are repeated in an altered form. A classic.

  • @FredJPhelps Can't you find anything better to do with your time besides being a You Tube Troll?

  • Its lucky that I found repeat option on youtube playlist on this track :D

    perfect sunny saturday music background

  • これを、"真のジャズ"と呼ばなくて、なんとゆう!~オリハ­゙ー・ネルソン"ストールン・モーメンツ"、曲良し、ソロ良し、­構成良し! #jazzm 

  • Beautiful...

  • YES!! Still the best version, IMO. Thanks so much for posting this classic.

    And misteredwino is absolutely correct about the changes.

    However, I love, and really prefer, Bill Evans' minor blues changes on "Israel".

  • @snaaptaker agreed, is it that version in the realbook #1?

  • Eddie Lockjaw Davis also plays a Oliver Nelson arrangement of Stolen Moments on a c.d called Stolen Moments.Notice how Eric Dolphy plays more inside on flute, it called for the minor blues so it was played more traditional.

  • I could listen to this 24/7 and not get tired of it

  • MASTERPIECE

  • In freddie's solo (the last chorus) at 2:36 he uses the same arpeggio pattern as coltrane does in a chorus of his mr. P.C. solo, also at about 2:36

  • Transcribed this freddie hubbard solo. Now learning it.

  • Bill Evans is great...

  • hey could some one tell me what the chord changes are during the solo. My Real book says c minor blues but I'm not sure what that means with the harmonies the keyboard and bass are laying down, thanks

  • @maynardssourpatchkid It means 4x Cm7, 2x, Fm7, 2x, Cm7. 2x Galt (g7b13#9 ex.) and 2x. Cm2. 12 bars total.

  • @Syllerud AAAAAAActually. Just to be a bit more picky, these are the preferred changes for a minor blues which most of the masters play (Ray Brown, Miles, Coltrane, etc. with slight variation)

    |Cm7|Cm7|Cm7|Cm7 C7alt|

    |Fm7|Fm7 | Cm| A7#11| <----------This chord is super important and often overlooked. Listen to recordings...it's in there!

    |Ab7|G alt| Cm7 Am7b5| Dm7 b5 G7|

    These are the true minor blues changes in jazz. Good luck!

  • @misteredwino Great! Fucking Great! How come no one ever told me that yet? That's gold. Thank you!

  • @misteredwino what kinds of scales would you use to play over that? 

  • @guitarrahombre This song is based on the C dorian scale (C-minor with raised 6'th, 2nd mode of the major scale). Guess i would simply play C dorian, F dorian, and G altered scale. But c'mon misteredwino, give us some more ;)

  • @Syllerud Those scales work, but play the changes (chord tones)! Over the G7 alt play and F# major scale but just raise the root resulting in: G-G#-A#-B-C#-D#-E#-G!! you'll hit all of the extensions of G7 alt. with this scale. Once you play the scale tones in C minor, try playing chord tones a whole step up so you have C-Eb-G-Bb-D-F-A , which is a Cm13 chord! Do the same for Fm. Have fun! Peace

  • @guitarrahombre Check out my reply to syllerud. I like to play arpeggios over changes, and superimpose chord tones, but that's just my style, and you can hear the changes better in your soloing that way. There are so many scales you can play, but it's harder to sound good using scales because there are too many notes to choose from moment to moment. Stick with outlining the changes. You'll hear it! Peace

  • @misteredwino thanks for the advice I'd learnt that g super locrian scale a while ago but i didn't know what to use it for thats really cool to think of all the notes as the extensions

  • @misteredwino but that's a matter of taste, reason why i like to think of scales, aka. the modal approach to soloing (so what i.e.) is becaused you further away from the tonality and the chord changes, exploring the melodic possiblelities instead of flying up and down of the chord changes! But agian, that's a matter of taste? I'd prefer Bill Evans while another prefer Oscar peterson for this, like i'd prefer John Coltrane/Miles Davis modal music to Charlie Parker/Gillespie.

  • @Syllerud That's cool. I'm really into Kurt Rosenwinkel, but also Wes Montgomery. But I still take the harmonic approach to everything. That may be why I play about 3-7 gigs a week during peak season as well!! Scales just confuse me when I play. I like to make up my own scales when I play outside, and then resolve to the chord tones. Have fun with your jazz studies. I'm glad that you enjoy playing jazz like I do. Peace.

  • @misteredwino Cool man, cool!

  • @misteredwino those are altered what u have there thats not the "true way" as u call it....there are a few different versions of just that 1 you have up there are,thats just an option!

  • @BlackScorpionNation Not sure which comment you are referencing, but yes I'm sure there are many different ways to play different forms in jazz. But, now we're just splitting hairs at this point. Cheers

  • @misteredwino whats C7alt? is that like half diminished?

  • @tombokickass No, it's a C dominant 7th chord with a #11, b9, #9, b13, or some combination of those. Depends on what the chord player feels like, and what the soloist is playing!

  • @misteredwino so its C E G + extensions etc. - but a major 1 chord doesnt really make sense in a minor key? especially straight after a minor 1 chord? Or do you just sort of not play the third of the chord?

  • @tombokickass In said situation, the "E" functions as the leading tone of the succeeding Fm7 chord.

  • @misteredwino

    A small alteration is to play a maj7 instead of a dominant on that Ab...very similar changes to "Unit Seven" Thanks for posting this. :-)

  • My God, I hope they leave this up. This is one of Oliver's finest compositions. I actually got turned onto this song when it came off the Dream Deferred Album in 1976, and it has never left my soul. " Stolen Moments " was a perfect title to this number. Close your eyes and it takes you to another realm.

    Beyond Fantastic!

  • The trumpet solo is horrid.

  • @drone713 BOO!

  • @drone713 In what respect?

    I don't know what you're hearing but I'm hearing extreme clean notes played to perfection.

  • @Longshotsblues 2:36 and on...seriously. It just sounds terrible to me. Is he playing like 1-4-5 arpeggios? It's not a 12 bar blues dude...whatever. I don't see any musicality in that section.

  • @drone713 Actually, it IS a twelve bar blues. Just like every other song on BLUES and the Abstract Truth...

  • @samprobear Okay well it's a minor blues, whereas what I'm hearing is major 1-4-5 arpeggios. And the technical justification for the section isn't really what I'm going for anyways. It sounds dumb and not melodic to me and it doesn't add anything to the solo or its direction (in my opinion).

  • @drone713 What...you weren't available for this gig so they had to use Freddie Hubbard??? See stecsworld post.

  • @drone713 That's not even correct.

  • @drone713 Fuck you.

  • so smooth..

  • This classic album was recorded 50 years ago this morning.

  • eric dolphy flute solo is amazing-i visualize a flock of birds just flying free like his solo--pure multi-faceted genius

  • Thank you, Frank Zappa, for turning me on to this.

  • I had the insight when I was a teenager to purchase this album! I still have it as of 2011. I use to practice Oliver's solo. It was so technical and thematic. Excellent music by a great composer/arranger. I also played with Freddie Hubbard on a number of occasions.

  • thank you for posting this!

  • May I say God is in his Heaven , because I can listen to the definitive version. Thank You so much!

  • Fantastic arrangement, great players, one of the best jazz recordings ever!

  • amazing recording and killer flute solo from eric dolphy.. wonderful- i think i wore out my lp on this one - jazz/metal grtz -rhsc nyc

  • I had this record many years ago in my younger life but it's long gone now. I'm going immediately from here to Amazon and download this track. That saxaphone solo sounds simple but is deceptively complex, one of my favorites.

    Thanks for the post.

  • aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

  • when does he use the augmented scale?

  • @dthree Thanks :)

  • The shame is that there is no live performance of Oliver Nelson and Orchestra performing this.

  • @windinkle Dream Deferred.

    Hey we're lucky we are hearing the studio version, for now anyway. Hopefully it stays up.

  • i also like the telefon tel aviv remix

  • old cd cover is nicer than the new one :(

  • Hi, just heard Oliver Nelson on the radio, I had never heard of him before, but it was so good that I had to come to youtube to find out more about him. So thanks for this fantasitc track too, and now I think I will go and buy this album!! Thanks again for posting

  • Ahhhhh. Nothing like the original piece! Thank you!

  • @Hyperscroll I'd switch out "A Love Supreme" with Bitches Brew or Birth of the Cool. Miles was too important to only have the top space xD

  • dolphys classic flute solo soars like a flock of birds going in many directions simultaneously

  • finally, the original

  • This America's finest art form- Jazz. And this cut is one of the best. Enjoy a great recording.

  • damn freddie is amazing

  • For some reason this song reminds me of going out to sea.

  • I am overjoyed this is finally up on YT. One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful pieces ever!

  • Been looking for this for months. There are some sincere, beautiful, noble covers of this classic, but they all pale in comparison to the original.

  • OK, this is Oliver Nelson's own recording of Stolen Moments. Hard to find this on You Tube among the collection of covers by everyone from Eric Dolphy to high school jazz bands. This is still the definitive version.

  • @tedsini cheers.

  • @tedsini Eric Dolphy is here!!

  • @tedsini Thank Goodness. I got cramps typing on comments on another mis-labeled post that was actually Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis with Oliver's big band. I have both on vinyl. This IS "Stolen Moments". So glad to have finally found it on YouTube. Thanks

  • @tedsini Eric Dolphy actually plays on the original and he never recorded another version of Stolen Moments as far as I know. If you happen to know of one please forward the link to me... And YES, this is the definitive version, AMEN!
