Woody Shaw,Herbie Hancock,Art Blakey - A Night in Tunisia 1 (to be cont.)

[bigboppa40]

Art Blakey...he da man! First heard him in the late 50's and was the major playing influence in my own style. He was the bridge from rock to bebop drumming when I was 19. Remembered with great affection.

Actually the big band provides a lot of energy to the whole situation...the whole stage bristles with it....no the big band was part of everything that happened THAT time they played....so you liked the solos!,,,, but your comment is lie saying the cup was a distraction compared to the tea!

[Pacificdreamgirl]

Hot ! Thanks

[oaklandtobangkok]

Pretty awesome. What a line up....oh my...

[Arborwaychet]

Great playing and Woody only gets better as he moves along. My own feeling is he was less than comfortable when he started blowing (even goes for a note and misses) and maybe felt nerves ... then as he blows through it ... what a wonderful player

[BlueHornBlueVoice]

@Arborwaychet

He certainly didn't miss any note. He played two notes - a typical W.S. hit. That's all he tried to play.

[blackmondae]

4:20 that embochure oh mah gawd

[turnaroundphraseNY]

everybody,Open your mouth!!

Be Blakey!!

[logansGT]

Holy Mother of God! What are they looking at? Are they actually reading a chart with an arrangement? What a waste of great talent.

Oh wait, I know. It's not an arrangement, there's no notes on the sheet.....it simply says "improvise."

Woody Shaw, of course, rose above the cacophony.

R.I.P. Woody, we miss you.

[multigenremusician]

i was soo excited in the beginning when Art was playing. then the band came in........

[ww1664]

I'm not really sure why everybody has got to have a big band now. Particularly when there is no attention paid to the legacy of the genre. Why not just say I'm gonna have a bunch of great improvisers get in each others way. I could listen to any (well almost any) of these guys play with a small group forever. Woody is so amazing. He doesn't even let the idiocy of non-musical promoters get in his way.

[jibsmokestack1]

Love Woody Shaw. Once he fully shook the deep influence of Hubbard's playing and began to develop his own ideas, particular what he learned while playing with Dolphy, he took his deserved place in the pantheon of Trumpet greats who preceeded him like Brown, Morgan, Little & Hubbard. In my opinion only Charles Tolliver is in his class of all the post Little/Morgan/Hubbard trumpeters to emerge on the scene, but Shaw is more of an innovator.

wynton MOVE OVER!!!!!!!

woody was the best post bop player in my book

[jerec576]

@8ballinthepocket Have you heard Tom Harrell or Claudio Roditi? Other sounds to check out

[whumbyrd1]

@8ballinthepocket

cant touch Freddie...

[bigboppa40]

@whumbyrd1 Clark Terry can hold his own with anybody.

[UpperRegister]

Woody Shaw was probably the greatest jazz improvisor or the trumpet ever. Where so many other trumpets have to rely on a bad of tricks, Woody never did incredible jazz trumpet player

[watski]

what an absolute joy , Woody and Art; gone but not forgotten, it makes you glad to be alive hearing this

[jsevits]

the big band is just an annoying distraction to the brilliance of the masters

[fuckingharpsichord]

@jsevits 1987...

[BigBoyDarrell]

@jsevits disagree 100%

[jerec576]

@jsevits this arrangement isnt great. Its just the melody played an octave higher in lead parts

[jazimoto21]

Woody passed away, along time ago...i've been of fan of woody, for over 20 years...and woody shaw is my favorite trumpeter!

no doubt about that, he is the BEST!!!!come on!!!listen to this kats arrangements and licks!!!!WOWW!!!

amazing kat!!

we need more of him!

[teemingup]

Whatever was happening behind him, Woody kept on going. That's what it should be like: every soloist should stand on his own. In the end Blakey DID start to play some time though... Great clip. Thanks for posting!

[jwalkam]

woodys solo left those young guys head bangin"!!!!!!

[videolover61]

I miss Woody and Art B...

[steelydad]

[dondon45]

[Modes9]
