  • i wonder if those 11 people feel dizzy

  • On a more positive note I'd like to say Kesha is catchy as heck not my fav but enjoy listening to some songs. And since its seems all of you actually look for music there is a plentiful amount of great cultured music of any genre in America. Pop culture if u dont see the reference already is a part of culture so Kesha in certain ways can be considered a cultured listen ; ). Praise to black music yo its influence is every where even in Keshas sound.

  • I grew up on this music, it has real talent and soul.. unlike the music thats out now, no on needs talent to be in the music industry anymore it's all computers I cant even listen to a regular music channel without hearin some bs song with no talent... it's so lame

  • what album is this from??

  • Flute is who?

  • It screeches too much at the beginning.

  • I mostly like hardcore punk bands, but by god.. this shit is amazing

  • PFFFT, Dizzy's ALREADY one hundred times BETTER than Ke$ha! Ke$ha's just a sell-out, but Dizzy's a unique musician! His puffed up cheeks and his bent trumpet are highly significant compared to Ke$ha's shitty autotune. I'd go for jazz and classical music over today's horrendous pop music anyday!

  • @JoyoPrower i love you!!!!!!

  • I listened to this song so many times over when I first found it, especially the flute and piano solos from :55 on. excellent drumming!

  • Comment removed

  • is if caracterist in artist in jazz advanced for improsation

  • Man who is playing flute on this? That stuff is TERRIBLE. What a monster. Whoever that flautist is, I want to hear more of him.

  • @KingCrimson250 I'm pretty sure its James Moody.

  • @KingCrimson250 Leo Wright on the flute. Also this song is on the album "New Wave".

  • Comment removed

  • bellissima!!

    

  • I don't care what anyone says.....black jazz musicians from the classical jazz age....playing bossa nova...is so heavenly.

  • Dizzy is a real jazz great! He once  told someone I know to 'F*** off' !

  • Love it!  Thanks for posting! :)

  • The art of Jazz! Oh yea.. Dizzy's Music still lives

  • his face looks like it just exploded

  • what album was this from?

  • @gianS2021 I think it was NEW WAVE. But im not certain because New Wave hasn't been released on cd yet. I'm not sure how this track was put on to youtube. still pretty damn awesome

  • my god look at his damn cheeks LOL

  • Good lord, where have you been all this time, Dizzy?

  • I love dizzy... but the picture creeps me out...

    still... awesome

  • Our band teacher scared us saying that if we don't keep our cheeks in... We'll look like this... I've never done it since...

  • this shows that if you put enough work into something

    you can really be good at it

    too bad Dizzy is dead...

  • @SpontaneousJunk He's not dead...what happens is that garbage music have killed the good music...That's why WE don't hear about Dizzy's music as often as we should...But Good comment on remembering Diz....

  • way his trumpet is positioned, he really doesn't need any cork for his harmon XD

  • At like 2:27 ish im picking up a slight trace of habenra from Carmen, no?

  • @chrism4n14 there's some note like "habanera" yes thou may be correct

  • omg exploding face

  • what a pic!

  • THE FLUTE!!!

  • heh...a flute in jazz

    

  • @Serna171 Because it is not jazz. It is bossa nova. Brazilian music - :-)

  • @MrNinjanaut please elaborate ;)

  • @MrNinjanaut yeah, explain why. Im dying to hear your reasoning..

  • Dizzy the must

  • 4:30 is so great.

  • That's the great Leo Wright on flute, not James Moody.

  • His cheeks look like ball sacks

  • Comment removed

  • Incredible!!!!!!

  • Happy Birthday Dizzy!

  • I'm wondering why/ where could you find 5 people who didn't like this?

  • jesus that flute was so hip.

  • work ..not so bad!!~

  • looks like a nuclear bomb went off in his mouth and he used the enargy to creat love

  • Bossa Nova, ok. I am just chekcing out the various brazillian music types. Just returned from Rio and I start to love the music! This is also great:

    "Canta Bahia" by "Paloma Gomes"

  • save the king dizzy !!!! great tom jobim´s song, amazing the brazillian samba interconection with the north american jazz!

  • @Brskaylor

    No. Totally different style. It's Leo Wright on flute.

  • is this in the original key of Bb?

  • beautiful, piece of art

  • Who plays flute in thus song?

  • @jarijuhani1 I can take an educated guess as to the personnel here, as I had a cassette called "Dizzy Gillespie: Compact Jazz" when I was in high school; needless to say that cassette did not survive adulthood because I played it so much.

    The flute player is Leo Wright, who switches to alto sax later. Charlie Persip plays drums, George Duvivier plays bass, and a young Kenny Barron on piano.

  • @writesdave

    Friend I still have that cassette !!!

  • @writesdave is jazz part of school curriculum in the states? i am accustomed to the idea that you have formal music education for marching band... is it some schools? some teachers only?

  • @14luisalonso Some schools take jazz seriously, others don't. And really, some schools take music in general more seriously than others. I got lucky in that respect with some very good music teachers, and a pair of musically minded parents who extended my education beyond the classroom.

  • @writesdave A lot of schools don't take jazz seriously. Don't make the assumption that I'm ridiculous or incredibly radical, but they don't because jazz music is that of the African-American culture. The elements of jazz are straight from the motherland and a lot of the legends of jazz are of the African-American persuasion (Duke, Basie, Bird, Trane, Miles, etc.), and to some schools that's just like "Ooh. Well then... Since it's something black people created, we can write it off.

  • @musicmanson i don't think it's that as much as it is most schools look down on the arts in general, so most programs don't recieve the funding neccessary to provide jazz programs, marching band programs, AND concert programs. they're forced to make cuts and jazz requires a more advanced educator to have a good program so it usually gets cut first...

  • @tydydpony93 And schools are stupid and don't want to hire that educator. So you end up getting a band that doesn't swing at all. But still, if they want to cut a jazz program, they need to cut a human relationships class or something stupid like that.

  • @musicmanson I think American schools take jazz very seriously. How else can we explain the massive influx of young jazz musicians into the market of the music business. It is then that the graduating class realizes the sad truth that Americans, whether black or white, don't take jazz seriously because they lack ears and musical intelligence.

  • @do1625 I don't. Some do, but where I went, we didn't put as much into our jazz programs as we did into the other programs. And I will definitely agree that it takes musical intelligence and ears. But schools don't take those with that intelligence and help them refine their skills as they would if they were gifted in say, math or English or something. Even for concert band, they'll tell you to audition for the youth symphonic band/orchestra but won't tell you about the jazz opportunities.

  • @musicmanson Let me tell you something, I'm in my school's jazz band and for our concert this summer, we were playing right after the intermediate band. I have respect for all music played in my school, but on the night of the concert, I was set off. When the inter. band went up to play kesha's tik tok, everyone in the auditorium started screaming and shouting and cheering loud as ever, when we went up, we played this song, and all we got was a loud boo. is there something wrong here or what?

  • @PalkaSvechi -yes...there is something wrong with that!

  • @PalkaSvechi

    Welcome to AMUUUUURICA: Land of the musically ignorant/inept.

  • @wiljoebob808

    Jazz in an American institution you idiot. Jazz was created there and lives in the USA.

  • @wiljoebob808 Jazz is one of Americas few native arts... you picked the wrong video to comment this on

  • @PalkaSvechi Maybe you guys suck though :(

  • @OwrKeeng Believe me you'd be surprised. Infact I might post the recording and you tell me :P

  • @PalkaSvechi no thats perfectly normal. thats highschool

  • @PalkaSvechi there is definately something seriously wrong there. This song is amazing. Kesha...is not

  • @PalkaSvechi What you"re saying is true. It's a sign of the downfall of society where illiteracy and general ignorance are praised as cool. Dizzy was a man who's music represented art in it's coolest & highest form, no wonder a microcosm of the general population would these days go crazy over Kesha.

  • @PalkaSvechi Jazz was more popular back then because the songs being improvised were well known. Nowadays, you either have to suck it up and play something that goes with the times or just play for those that "get it". At my local jazz bar, there aren't many people that know what standards are being played, but they readily get into it once they jazz up radiohead songs.

  • @PalkaSvechi Nah, there is nothing wrong with promoting inferior musicians to give them inspiration to improve. It is equally dangerous for a semi-professional player to desire attention and glory for oneself. Humility brings a desire to improve in the talented. Check yourself. Tell yourself, I can always play better.

  • @headshrink1 As much as I agree with what you have said, kesha's music doesn't needs more promotion than it already has. The goal should be to allow kids to appreciate art music (art, classical) in its own right and using jazz as a tool for promoting pop songs is devaluing jazz. I guess I just feel uneasy thinking about music programs promoting overexposed crap music lol- even if it does inspire people to improve!

  • @PalkaSvechi I would've given one hell of an applause

  • @PalkaSvechi That's why it's pop. Taste takes time. Not saying one is better than the other it's just that Key-$-sha gets more time on the radio so she has a bigger fan base with people that don't make an active effort to find music they really like.

  • @PalkaSvechi loud boo=ignorance......please keep going and keep learning.....bendiciones(bless­ings)

  • @PalkaSvechi so sorry. Just shows how unsophisticated the general public is.

  • @akrauss100 the general public will still appreciate jazz, but they dnt connect with it as much. Most musicians look at jazz as an etude, rather than a music tho (unless they are jazz musicians).

  • @PalkaSvechi - There is a reason why this song is still a classic after more than 40 years. Because it's world class music. Not taking anything away from Tik Tok, but that seems to be the popular choice for school bands right now. Keep on playing well! The accolades will come!!!

  • @PalkaSvechi People boo b/c they don't know what they are listening too and b/c they didn't hear it on the radio.

  • @PalkaSvechi fuck em

  • @PalkaSvechi I feel your pain, brother. We had to follow our school's dance team who did "Fireworks" by Katy Perry (an admittedly decent tune). They got a standing ovation. We, the Jazz band, came up and did an arrangement of Dizzy Gillespie's "Manteca," and were greeted with half hearted applause and one good "Yeah..." Could it be that music is taking a turn?

  • @PalkaSvechi That's fucked up, my man. The bullshit that people appreciate these days. If only they knew that their songs were influenced by this stuff...

  • @PalkaSvechi that just means the students in your school are not cultured enough.

  • @PalkaSvechi Kesha is a monster trumpet player

  • @PalkaSvechi Geez, where do you have the misfortune of living?

  • @PalkaSvechi let their ignorant souuls burn in musical poorness hell

  • @PalkaSvechi yes. something very, very wrong.

  • @PalkaSvechi Man, even if they didn't like or recognize the song, booing is just rude. They should have shown their support and appreciation for your hard work.

  • @PalkaSvechi its just complicated music hardly pleasing to an untrainded ear bro doont be discouraged

  • @PalkaSvechi "Samba de uma nota só" é um dos clássicos da Bossa Nova. Movimento musical brasileiro dos anos 1960 que chegou até o jazz. Que influenciou músicos com Dizzy Gillespie o outros.

  • @PalkaSvechi People are just ignorant about music these days. Believe me, this is coming from a 17 year old.

  • @PalkaSvechi dont want to offend anyone but that right there deserves a...... nvm too fucked up.

  • @PalkaSvechi Yeah, it's what you call a shit audience. I play the organ and if I play some cool bossa nova on my old Wurlitzer 4300 organ nobody gets it, but if I play a Hammond B3 like Jimmy Smith I'm suddenly Mr. Cool. Personally I'll take Walter Wanderley over Jimmy Smith. That whole Hammond B3 jazz organ sound is very cliche' sounding anymore. I love the Hammond for old standards from the 20's and 30's before Jimmy Smith. The world of music should be expanding and getting better not worse!

  • @PalkaSvechi I guess it is with music like everything else. The need to have what you are used to and blend in, and do what your friends do, is greater than the need for some quality. It's like powdered sauce. The "kids" never tasted the real thing. If you busted yourself whipping up a real Bearnaise they would complain it don't taste like they are used to. Dizzy is the real thing. No crappy autotune needed.

  • @PalkaSvechi Why do you care what other people think of your music?

  • @do1625 or just because they don't like jazz...

  • This is The REAL BOSSA NOVA.... And this is the PERFECT JAZZIST Musician with Your SAXOOOOO !!!! Chapeauxxxxxx...

  • The best version of this tune!

  • Easy placed inside my 'Easy Listening' library. Sheer Delight. 5 Stars.

  • Thanks for sharing! Great!

  • sensational! sorry, jobim, that´s absolutely THE most incredible recording of that song!

  • This can be jazz, but not bossa nova

    This is not the samba rythm.

    But i liked the flute.

  • @gabrield88 bah, just enjoy einstein...

  • @gabrield88 the drummer is playing a bossa nova and isn't most of latin music starts from the percussion section.....

  • Epic photo, and great music!

  • When he was in his thirties he was hit by a car whilst riding a bike. This resulted in him not being able to reach certain notes. A court however only awarded him USD1000 as a result of his high earnings.

    Something like that would not happen today - I hope.

  • dude had some freaky cheaks...he sure could blow a horn though

  • @bcw324 Amazing - they almost look like bagpipes. Did not do his career any harm though!

  • very nice to hear thanks for posting - one of my favourites

  • Yesirrrr!!!!!!! Flute Harmony on those 2-5-1's on the chorus are killin.

  • who play the flute part? I gotta know!

  • @FluterTooter1 very nice flute playing I agree!

  • i play flute clarinet and saxophone

  • I meant on the song not in the whole world. But that is nice to know you play. I play the flute clarinet and guitar i just got a real book been having fun with it.

    Madcbara do you play in any groups?

  • @madcbara I wish I could!

  • @thumpasaurusrex Quite a few people from my understanding.

  • @F45B I meant on the song you limp dick fagot.

  • @thumpasaurusrex I'm sorry you don't have a sense of humor. Yes, that obviously means I'm homosexual. You have very logical trains of thought. I definitely don't recommend cognitive therapy.

    As for your insult, how is "limp dick" supposed to be insulting? Would you rather I have a hard on while I listen to Jazz?

  • @F45B My dick gets hella hard when i listn to Jazz, so yea maybe somthing is wrong with you, but yea my words were a little harsh so I do appologize. I do have a sense of humor but i just thought your joke was gay. Again im sorry i was out of line with my comment. lets all just kick back with our hard on's for jazz or limp dicked jazz listners and enjoy one note samba. With LEO WRIGHT ON THE FLUTE.

  • @thumpasaurusrex Is this a cure for impotence?

  • his cheeks come out so far, it's crazy! :O

  • i used to hate this song until i heard this version!

    awesome haha

  • Love this version!

  • So Smooth!

  • damn i thought this was stan getz

  • @nemesis700 don't you know the difference of the sound of a trumpet, and a Saxaphone?, know way could this be Stan Getz

  • i meant that stan getz did a version of this

  • Simply great.

    As always...

  • Great music played by a wonderfull artist!

    Um samba de uma nota só é uma das melhores bossas novas! E viva o Brasil!

    Thanks for the opportunit to listen this in the internet!

  • i play bass, guitar and sax and i gotta say dizzy is one of my idols. i try to solo like he does but on sax. i played this live on thursday it went great

  • @MrAlfredocolon omg same!!! ? thats weird :L i mean like all the things you said there, the same for me? 0.o

  • @MrAlfredocolon

    Great for you! I'm glad we still got jazz musicians out there! lol

  • Mr. Colon, you my friend are interesting the most interesting man alive. 

  • i really dig the groove of this song.

  • The PIONEER, The LEGEND, Simply The DIZ. I love you Brotha, I know you are in the other realm making cats better and putting a smile on their faces as well.

    Hotep

  • Bra-zil!

  • two words... Smooth....soothing

  • @1bluejazzykat one more word...samba

  • amazing!

  • The "Diz" lives, keep the beat a consuming fire! Artist  C. Jones

  • I thought the business with the cheeks was that he had blown so hard, so long that he detached some of the muscles - if you look closely, it is not just that his cheeks are puffed out.

  • i think it was a condition that he always had actually

  • I'm pretty sure that a Samba, like this, shouldn't technically be classified as Bossa Nova, as a bossa is slower, probably analogous to calling something swing or a ballad, but this has that straight eighth feel. Anyways great tune, gotta love Dizzy

  • Good comment, agreee with you.

  • I've been to his hometown in Cheraw, SC. They have a statue of him playing the duel horned trumpet and the cheeks look just like that.

    Cheraw is about 115 miles SW of Raleigh, NC on US 1.

  • this is some straight up and down good muzak!

  • It funny because the puffing of a trumpeters cheeks is normally an indication of fatigue, but Diz made that his trademark. It's like he's playing a joke on everyone. Still. I Love Diz for that.

  • I thought it was simply a flaw in embouchure...

  • dizzy is awesome and that flute is fin cool

  • That flute solo is badass! Who's playing?

  • If it ain't James Moody then who else? Moody's my man, flute or tenor or alto - great foil to the brilliance of Diz.

  • itz leo wright on de flute

  • @bopkick5 Is this the band from the "French Riviera" recording? If so, that's Lalo Schifrin on piano. It seems odd, though, that there wouldn't be a guitar on this tune. Elec Bacsik was all over the "Riviera" album.

  • hi frend . youre right dat iz lalo schifrin on da keys. . it iz da same band as dat album you mention but no guitar . dis paticular tune tho iz not on de french riviera album az ya probly know . but wot an album "dizzy on the french riviera" is eh??

  • You're the 1st young german person I ever found who enjoys bossa nova.

    Normally, bossa nova is tracked for thoses who are over 40's.

    Anyway, this is a great performance.

  • anyone who enjoys good music loves bossa nova. age doesn't matter. and ''yes'' it's a hell of a performance!

  • im 22 and cant get enough if it...
