ROY!!!

[pretorious700]

I met the great Cannonball in 1973 in Richmond ,Va., when my band opened for him at a concert at Maymont Park. What a nice person-humble, friendly, and very supportive of my young band.

[JPM160658]

I found this video in the archives of Dutch television and the day it was broadcast it was all over Youtube ;-) It was recorded during the annual Newport Jazz Festival in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. So this is not a DVD.

[ZupraVisor]

afromania!

[fedalxis]

what is the name of this dvd?

[09nob]

the bass player looks like Art Garfuncle's Indian cousin

[chrisnelder]

Looks like that was 1974, see wn.com/Cannonball_Adderley

Ripping! 

[Ouellette1978]

Holy crap, I have never seen Dukey play like that, he burnt that keyboard up!!!

[DarkeningSkies1]

@Ouellette1978 Shit, yeah. He ripped a couple solos while with Frank Zappa that can only be termed epic in the extreme... I prefer him on baby grand to fender rhodes but he is pretty amazing on anything he touches.

[ALTERED13TH]

Is that Richard Simons on bass??

[DarkeningSkies1]

@ALTERED13TH Walter Booker- Cannon's longtime bassist.

[EddieRamon]

WHOS THE 1 FOOL???

[scomdnz9]

fromania

[ziemass]

@tward908 thumb up for that

[Modes9]

@PugSleasy I can appreciate things like the Chick Corea Elektric Band, the Yellowjackets, or Larry Coryell's Eleventh House, but my favorite music is Larry Young, Joe Henderson, Joe Farrell, Woody Shaw, Bobby Hutcherson...you get the idea.

[Modes9]

That was the best stuff I've ever heard from George Duke. I wish he played like that all the time...

[jon93099]

someone can tell me that mouthpiece used cannonball ?

[modponens]

@jon93099 errr... I dunno why I told you Claude Lakey.. He used a Meyer, sorry

[TheDatasureal]

Man Im so envious of people like you dliberg with all these nice ass uploads(VIDEO at that!)How?Thank you very much.

[NicChambers93]

cant anybody just enjoy the music? stop trying to make yourself sound like jazz historians just enjoy

[samsamba08]

Well, anyone who either listens to jazz, or is a jazz pianist, can quite instantly recognize the fact that Duke's playing here is pretty much "all McCoy". But I don't know why are some of you so hostile about it, like it's a BAD thing? ALL jazz musicians are influenced by others. All (most?) jazz pianists are influenced in some way or other by the "big ones", a.ka Herbie, McCoy, Chick and Jarrett. Hell, even Chick Corea - who is a CONTEMPORARY of Tyner's, was openly influenced by him.

[Ouellette1978]

@samsamba08 I think you forgot perhaps the best ever, Bill Evans

[vanderbiltsax]

nat adderley and roy hargrove sound so alike to me :D.

[antosax]

praticamente straordinario julian unico

[gotrottin]

Afro magic. C a n y o u d i g i t ! I love the looks George got, like YEAH!!!

[computerblue1]

George Is the man, just ask Zappa!

[robertojimenez204]

George Duke rules!!

[roflem1]

George Duke !! What a solo !!!

[zinwah]

For me, George Duke plays good--albeit a la Tyner. His chops were great then. I bet he wishes he could play with that facility now!

[bill18286]

George Duke had some insane ideas on this solo, but I'm not a big fan of his swing: his 8th notes are straighter than what I like, and the whole staccato swing ain't my groove (be it Duke or Tyner or whoever) ... as for solo length, I disagree with Bird and agree with Trane: if you still have something to say, you're not ready to end your solo.

[flipadiddle]

@bill18286 i don't think that trane and bird would have disagreed that if you can't get there in under two choruses then you don't have it. doesnt mean you cant solo for 20 minutes though.

[SteefStevens]

George is just amazing. first listen.. then argue...

[aammirr]

...yeah, take advice from Dickhead ah er ah circumcision - the font of music, HA !

Thanx for the clue - NOT !

[Circumcisions]

P.S. I would like to kick all your asses while having a George Duke solo playing in the background as your mother farts in your face. I feel like that would be equivalent to going back in time and aborting you. But we all know time travel is impossible. Too bad.

[Ackamoracca]

Yeah I agree with Circumcisions. Who cares what influence is there, I mean it's fine just commenting on it, but when it turns into arguing and insulting his playing, it's just obnoxious. All players and all artists draw influences from other players and other artists, nothing is original, everything is just taken from previous influences and made into their own thing by the player/artist. George has influence from other musicians, but I can definitely hear his own style in that solo.

[Circumcisions]

Wow, look at all these wannabe jazz aficionado's. You guys all truly suck. OH NO GEORGE DUKE SOUNDS LIKE MCCOY TYNER WHO THE FUCK CARES MCCOY TYNER IS AWESOME AND SO IS GEORGE. You all probably go to some jazz camp where youre bred to be an elitist prick. You guys wish you could solo this way. Anyway if you wanna hear a great George Duke solo check out "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" by Frank Zappa off the album "Roxy and Elsewhere" I promise you wont be saying shit about his playing anymore.

[retsofnalanosaj]

One time, at jazz camp.........:p

George Duke is the Man!!!

[gallantfellow]

If you can't hear the McCoy in Duke's playing than you are either deaf or don't know jazz In fact, sounded pretty unoriginal - don't get me wrong either, i like George Duke. I mean, u can hear the Bird in Cannon's playing - thing is, he's always had a way of separating himself from the source...All in all, guess we gotta learn from someone/where.

..I heard that Oscar too, btw

[Sirvalorsax]

I never new george duke could swing like this!!!!

[Starkly92]

duke is a maniac at 2:39 gotdamnnn

[protocol66]

Those are just triads ascending by half-steps. Good stuff, but I dig the solo prior to that pattern much more. :-)

[ohioplayer]

I heard some Oscar Peterson @ 2:49...

[6strbassplayer]

kids sit up and take notice, your being schooled. "this is real".

[bankebrum]

Stuff like this makes me HAPPY !! THX !!

[moveonupcb]

cannonball is def one of the best ever!

[jazz1bro]

The power of those whose imaginations while copied but not exceeded right here. Can't fake swinging and playing the Blues to those who know.

[onebigkiss]

Man thats Hot

[sonwamac]

George Duke is a mutha fucka..that passage he went into at 2:38 to 2:48?...that shit was off the charts dude...beyond chops...chops imagination Brilliance...ofcourse Cannonball is the shit...nothing but light coming out of that horn...for my money the best of the post Bird Altoists...top it off with Nat, Walter Booker and Roy McCurdy...a mutha fucka of a quintet

[JeremyJonson]

nobody is supposed to be better than anyone. George dukes performance was great. lets see you try it

[teemingup]

Wasn't George into Chick then. But why are the solo's that short...

[Ackamoracca]

maybe because the solos on the recording were short - maybe they were trying to just keep it short and sweet like on the recording. but idk

[cbmuzik]

well, even when Herbie Hancock has played with Cannonball Adderly he was reduced to VERY short solos....it doesn't mean the guy can't roll...we all know that. But I guess when brass is being spotlighted that's probably meant to be. at least for this band...lol

[utubeissad]

Um, when did Herbie Hancock play with Cannonball Adderley?

[cbmuzik]

I am shocked you're even asking that question. When Miles Davis Played with Cannonball, Herbie frequently accompanied them both. Autumn Leaves was the song Herbie was most known for playing behind Cannonball and Miles. Wow O_o

[utubeissad]

Ok, dude, you need a SERIOUS jazz history 101 lesson. First of all, what you're referring to is Cannon's "Somethin' Else" record which was recorded in 1958 when Herbie Hancock was in COLLEGE!! Herbie didn't play "Autumn Leaves" with Cannonball on that record. HANK JONES DID!! Herbie played that song with Miles, but not until YEARS later when Cannon had his own group with Joe Zawinul! Anything else you'd like to know?

[HumanGrinder]

"Anything else you'd like to know?"

sounds kindda pretensious don't you think?

[videolover61]

No, McCoy Tyner is all in George's style...but you can't get away from Herbie too...

[jazzermonk]

Bird once said that if you play more than two choruses, your just practicing

[cirrusmajor]

When was this performance?

[tisenderbluesman]

Wauw!! George is a great jazz-pianist!!!!

[ibanisse]

He sucks.

Ej det er gas!

Hej Mathias :-D Det er mig Mads :-D

[tisenderbluesman]

:P Har du engang haft en video herinde hvor du improvisere?

[ibanisse]

Heh :-D Ja jeg har :-D MEn det er efterhånden meget lang tid siden og der var jeg heller ikke ligeså god som jeg er nu.

[ibanisse]

ja jeg har :-D Men det er efterhånden lang tid siden og dengang var jeg langtfra ligeså god som jeg er nu, derfor slettet jeg den :-D

[jqfranklin]

No ones better than C Parker

[HammondB200]

dude what the hell was that about, shut up

[bassostolos]

who said Bird doesnt have soul?

[oholm08]

thats nat adderley jr father adderley also played luther vandross music director and studio keyboardist

[vegadelalyre1]

Thanks Dliberg for this sharing.

I use to listen to my favorite musical artist in his style of 80's & 90's & 2000, but her in pure jazz it is pleasant also.

- Véga de la Lyre - (afm)

[futboler454]

Duke's dealing with a lot of McCoy here.

[pianodan10]

what year is this? The adderleys look very old in this one.. god, he played like hell up to the minute he died.

[usviolin]

This is a great video. George Duke will be serving as artist-in-residence at the Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp in New Orleans this July 2008. I am looking for early jazz recordings of Duke's. Can anyone recommend early straight ahead jazz albums/CDs that students can listen to?

Thanks

[godofcreek720]

try Miles Smiles i think you can guess how, Saxophone Colossus by Sonny Rollins, and for poly rhythms Charles Mingus "Blues and politics"

[timdeal]

You can't say that Cannonball was better than Bird. Cannonball came a few years after Bird, and learned from Bird. Bird was one of the bebop pioneers, and even Bird learned how to play from Lester Young and others. But you can't really compare them. Personally, I would listen to Cannonball over Bird any day, because Cannonball's got soul.

George Duke sounds AWESOME in this video!

[JoF00l]

Sure you can, it's all opinion.

[Toby3789]

Oh , hell,YES!

[Face202]

better than Charlie Parker?)

[doodovf]

who cares. listen to both.

[sim833]

Cannonball is the best alto player to ever live.
